2020 Spring - UH - Mon M3 - Mattie Hagen Goldberg

This sample was collected on the shoreline of a peninsula sticking into Crystal Bay that is directly adjacent to the oil refineries and industrial corridor of Houston. The location is a park with a large playground site, and while I was collecting, I noticed several people out fishing in the water. I chose this site because it was suggested by the lab instructor and there were previous soil samples collected here with positive results. I took the sample from an area close to the water where the soil was relatively soft from recent rains. _ M3
