5 Not including N.Y. Bight samples in progress
6 Spreadsheets are being migrated to ACCESS relational database
7 Production, demand, resources
8 Includes borings & Shelby tubes
9 Contaminated sediment database includes texture etc; total of ~7,500 samples incl. In No. 3
10 Data compiled from NY-NJ state and other sources
11 Also regional sidescan mosaic mapping, swath mapping (Schwab, Butman)
