Data for monitoring trace metals in sediment and clam tissue near the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant in South San Francisco Bay, California (ver 2.0, November 2022)

Sediment particles can strongly bind metals, effectively repartitioning them from solution to a solid phase. As a result, sediments may accumulate and retain metals released to an aquatic environment. Sediment cores provide a historical record of metal inputs that can reveal anthropogenic influences (Förstner and Wittmann, 1979). Specifically, studies of sediment cores in San Francisco Bay chronicled metal inputs and suggested that legacy contamination can remain a chronic source of metals to the system owing to sediment mixing and redistribution (Hornberger and others, 1999; Van Geen and Luoma, 1999). Metals in sediments also indicate exposure levels to benthic animals through contact with, and ingestion of, bottom...

Data for monitoring trace metal and benthic community near the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant in South San Francisco Bay, California (ver 2.0, November 2022)

Trace-metal concentrations in sediment and in the clam Limecola petalum (World Register of Marine Species, 2020; formerly reported as Macoma balthica and M. petalum), clam reproductive activity, and benthic macroinvertebrate community structure were investigated in a mudflat located 1 kilometer south of the discharge of the Palo Alto Regional Water Quality Control Plant (PARWQCP) in south San Francisco Bay, California. This report includes data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) starting in January 2019. These data append to long-term datasets extending back to 1974. This dataset supports the City of Palo Alto’s Near-Field Receiving-Water Monitoring Program, initiated in 1994. This data release is presented...

OFR 74-82 - The Price-Responsiveness of Secondary Silver. 1982.

The objective of this research was to determine the volume of silver that might reasonably be expected to be supplied from secondary sources in the future by establishing and analyzing the price -supply relationship. It was determined that there are very large unreported U.S. stocks of silver bullion, coin, and sterling silver which, under certain conditions, can become an important increment to the future market supply. The price- elasticity of supply of silver refined from both new and old scrap in the aggregate is relatively low --at 0.3. The supply of silver refined from coins, however, is highly price -elastic with an elasticity calculated at 1.6 to 2.7. It was also found that U.S. capacity to process and refine...
