SCAMIT Newsletter 
Vol. 18, No. 5 
Unit. Our group conducts both sediment and 
water column monitoring throughout Puget 
Sound, as part of the Puget Sound Ambient 
Monitoring Program. The state Department of 
Personnel has recently opened the 
Environmental Specialist 2,3,4, and 5 
registers from which we may hire new 
employees. Although we currently have no 
positions for which we are hiring, we may in 
the near future. I was hoping that you might be 
able to place a notice in the SCAMIT 
newsletter indicating that we are interested in 
having folks get on these registers who have 1) 
strong sediment chemistry, bioassay, and 
infaunal monitoring experience, 2) strong 
statistical/data analysis and report writing 
skills, and 3) an interest in moving to the state 
of Washington (rain and all:-) !!!). 
Anyone with the interest and qualifications can 
contact me and send a resume (address, phone, 
and e-mail below). To get on the 
Environmental Specialist (ES 2 through 5) 
registers (you must be on the registers to be 
hired), an application should be submitted to 
our state personnel office:
