Water chemistry and heavy metal data were collected from 2009 to summer 2015 by Ocean Research College Academy (ORCA) students and we continued sampling in Possession Sound in fall of 2015 to 2016. In June of 2015, the relocation of the Mukilteo Ferry Terminal began with the removal of the abandoned Tank Farm pier, at the Mukilteo location, eliminating creosote soaked pilings. It was hypothesized that the heavy metal concentrations in the sediments, as well as dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH levels, would differ both temporally, from before the removal of the pier in June of 2015 to January 2016, and spatially, between the Mukilteo site and Mount Baker Terminal (MBT) to the north. Benthic sediments were sampled offshore with a Ponar grab and analyzed by the Everett Environmental Laboratory for heavy metal concentration. DO and pH were sampled with a YSI-650. Copper, lead and zinc showed positive correlations, with an increase in the amount of heavy metals at Mukilteo from January 2009 to June 2015. Copper concentration increased by 503.31%, zinc concentration increased 573.33%, and lead concentration increased 437.20%. Additionally, amounts of heavy metals present in the sediment, regardless of temporal correlation, were consistently higher in samples from Mukilteo than samples from MBT, possibly due to proximity to the construction project. There was on average 154.27% more arsenic, 282.69% more mercury, 210.86% more cadmium, 157.95% more copper, 105.60% more lead, and 130.15% more zinc at Mukilteo. There appeared to be no changes to water chemistry in terms of DO and pH. Additionally, three other heavy metals, arsenic, mercury and cadmium, showed no temporal correlation. Further research on the bioaccumulation of heavy metals by marine organisms nearby would offer an intriguing look at the biological effects.
