Stanley chemical analyses 2013

The file represents records of sediment core samples taken in Stanley harbour in 2013 by the Shallow Marine Surveys Group and SAERI on behalf Premier Oil Ltd. Sediments were analysed to quantify level of heavy metals. This was carried out to understand level of toxicity in the sediment as requested by international procedures set by guideline for dredging and dredge spoil dumping. Analyses were carried out in the UK.

Lineage Separate sediment core samples were taken to assess the total organic matter, total organic carbon concentration and heavy metal content at 12 of the dive sites, stratified to identify changes from the harbour entrance to FIPASS (stations 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 15 and 16), using a 400 mm length x 38 mm diameter cylindrical corer. Samples were frozen at the end of the day, and were sent frozen by courier to the analytical laboratory Agenda 1 Ltd in Bristol, UK. The analyses took approximately 10 working days and the results were sent back to the Shallow Marine Surveys Group in Stanley. These dives were conducted on 04/05/2013, 05/05/2013, 06/05/2013 and 08/05/2013.
