Data from 2000W, SOUTH, and SW-REF were used for comparison of ambient 

 western Long Island Sound sediments relative to the sediments deposited at WLIS through 

 disposal operations. Reference areas SOUTH (40°58.688' N, 73°29.201' W) and 2000W 

 (40°59.393' N, 73°30.632' W) were sampled at four randomly selected stations. SW-REF 

 (40°58.688' N, 73°29.909' W) was sampled at five randomly selected stations (Figure 2- 

 1; Appendix A, Table 2-1).
