Figure 1 . Map of the Millstone Point area showing the location of intertidal and subtidal sand sampling stations. 

 (CiNI, JCI and WPI = Giants Neck, Jordan Cove and White Point intertidal stations; GNS, FFS, JCS, 

 INS = Giants Neck, RfTluent, Jordan Cove, and Fntake subtidal stations). 



White Point (WP-I) intertidal station is farther east of the power plant (1.6 km), but is still within an 

 area potctilially influenced by plant discharge, particularly when all three units are operating. 



At each subtidal and intertidal station, ten 0.007R m cores (10 cm diameter x 5 cm deep) were 

 collected quarterly (March, .lune, September and December). F'or reporting purposes, a sampling year 

 begins in September and ends in .lune, and the year of the .lune sample assigned as the sampling year. 

 Subtidal samples were taken within 3 m of each station marker by SCUBA divers. Each sample was
