Abstract

One hundred and one sediment cores were collected to characterize the spatial 

distribution of petroleum hydrocarbons within and just outside Blind Pass, St. Pete Beach, 

Florida. Twenty-five percent of the cores exhibited levels of petroleum hydrocarbons above 

detection limits of the gas chromatograph/flame ionization detector (GC/FID) (0.01 mg/Kg), 

but at generally low concentrations. Petroleum hydrocarbon speciation studies of these 

samples (gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy [GC/MS]) indicate above-detection level 

(1 μg/Kg) petroleum hydrocarbons are similar to the non-volatile petroleum hydrocarbons 

found in a Bouchard 155 reference sample collected after the 1993 oil spill in the area, but are 

in a much degraded and weathered state. Individual petroleum hydrocarbons were, in all but 

one case, below the threshold effective level (TEL) described in the literature (MacDonald, 

1994). The petroleum hydrocarbons were primarily found at 100-300 cm depth in Blind Pass 

cores. Above-detection level petroleum hydrocarbons were generally found in samples from 

cores in the center of the channel, near the edges of the shoal, and just outside of Blind Pass. 

A second mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily phthalates, ketones, and ether, was found at 

relatively shallow core depths (0-99 cm) in the Mid- and North End Channel cores. These 

suggest a separate source of contamination, possibly storm water runoff.

The fuel fluorescence detector (FFD) probe was investigated for its ability to detect 

petroleum hydrocarbons in marine sediments. When analyzed with the FFD, all sediments 

from the cores produced peaks of fluorescence, but none above the background levels of 

Blind Pass native sediments. All but two samples analyzed by GC/FID were below the 

detection limits (100 ppm) of the FFD. These samples were found in dark-colored sediments. 

The combination of the detection limits of the instrument, sediment color, and the degraded 

nature of the heavier weight petroleum hydrocarbons may have resulted in fluorescence 

outputs below background levels.

These studies demonstrate that the distribution of petroleum hydrocarbons within Blind 

Pass sediments is generally low and patchy. However, 25% of the cores exhibited levels 

above detection using GC/FID/MS. These cores could be subjected to individual speciation 

studies which indicate generally below TEL levels and an association of some, but not all, 

with the 1993 oil spill in Blind Pass.

Appendix A provides photographs and tables for sediment subsamples which exhibited 

total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits, while Appendix B 

presents the results from fuel fluorescence detector probe analyses. A discussion of the results 

of the study in relation to sediment quality guidelines and soil cleanup target level guidance 

documents is included as Appendix C. Some preliminary results using the above techniques 

on core samples from the nearby John’s Pass are presented in Appendix D.

1. Introduction

Recently-developed technologies for the detection of petroleum hydrocarbons for 

terrestrial applications such as fuel fluorescence detection (FFD) have been examined for coastal 

marine application by the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory (AOML) of 

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In conjunction with these 

studies, petroleum hydrocarbon characterization and calibration studies using GC/FID and 

GC/MS were conducted by researchers with the University of Miami’s Rosenstiel School of 

Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS). Application of terrestrial oil detection technologies 

may be suitable for characterizing the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons in submerged 

sediment in the coastal ocean and adjacent waterways. AOML is interested in understanding the 

utility of these technologies for: (1) utilizing a fluorescence method (FFD probe) to rapidly

detect petroleum hydrocarbons; and (2) coordinating the use of total petroleum hydrocarbon and 

speciation methods for characterization of sediment levels and spatial distributions in the marine 

coastal environment.

A site at which the above technologies have particular application is in Blind Pass, St. Pete 

Beach, Florida. In 1993, a collision occurred between three vessels which resulted in an oil spill

in Tampa Bay, Florida. Subsequently, large thick mats of oil were found inside the entrances to 

Blind and John’s Passes. Prior to dredging in 2000, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) 

obtained sediment cores to examine the sediment before initiating dredging operations. 

Numerous sediment cores were collected in the Blind Pass navigation channel in January 2000,

and one of the sediment cores revealed the presence of a “gasoline-like” substance. No other 

sediment cores that were visually examined exhibited such a substance, and no quantitative 

techniques were applied for the characterization of the sediments collected. The use of FFD, 

GC/FID, and GC/MS to analyze sediment core samples represents a significant advance over 

prior petroleum hydrocarbon characterization in Blind Pass. The utilized approach applies new 

technology to make quantitative, science-based decisions as to the presence of above-detection 

levels of petroleum hydrocarbons in Blind Pass sediment.

The present work was conducted in anticipation of future Blind Pass dredging operations. 

As part of this effort, sediment cores were collected by the University of South Florida (USF) 

and analyzed by AOML and RSMAS using the above-mentioned technologies. The objectives of 

the investigation were to determine: (1) the utility of the FFD probe in assessing petroleum 

hydrocarbons in coastal marine environments; (2) characterization of intra-core petroleum 

hydrocarbon levels in sediment; and (3) depiction of the spatial distribution and individual 

hydrocarbon speciation of these petroleum hydrocarbons within Blind Pass.

2. Background

On August 10, 1993, a collision of tanker barges resulted in the discharge of approximately 

330,000 gallons of No. 6 fuel oil from the Bouchard 155 and about 32,000 gallons of Jet A, 

diesel, and gasoline oil from the Ocean 255 into lower Tampa Bay. There was some initial oiling 

of exposed beaches, sea grass beds, and mangroves in lower Tampa Bay, but winds and currents 

carried most of the oil into the open waters of the Gulf of Mexico in the first few days after the 

spill. This oil, however, came ashore on August 14-15, 1993 during a strong storm front and was 

deposited on the sandy beaches of the barrier island communities and moved through inlets into 
3

Boca Ciega Bay. The incident resulted in oiling of birds, sea turtles, mangroves, salt marshes, sea 

grasses, mud flats, oyster beds, and seawalls in the finger canals within Boca Ciega Bay and 

miles of shoreline, including sandy recreational beaches. Some of the fuel oil sank, forming mats 

on submerged sediments in offshore depressions, in passes such as Blind Pass and in Boca Ciega 

Bay (Urquhart-Donnelly et al., 2000).

In late 1999, the USACE and Pinellas County initiated two projects to maintenance dredge 

John’s and Blind Passes, and to use the beach-quality sand removed from these passes to 

renourish beaches at Upham Beach (St. Pete Beach) and Sunset Beach (Treasure Island). In 

accordance with their project permits, 15 geotechnical borings were conducted in both passes to 

determine the sand quality and identify any areas of unsuitable material. These borings produced 

no clear indication of the presence of residual oil, with only one boring from within Blind Pass 

exhibiting a fuel odor.

Dredging activities in Blind Pass began in January 2000, with sand placed on Upham 

Beach. During these activities, small pockets of petroleum hydrocarbons, approximately 

50 gallons each, were discovered. The U.S. Coast Guard initiated oil containment and cleanup of 

this oil after cessation of dredging activities. The oil recovered was No. 6 fuel oil, the same type 

as spilled in 1993. The dredging project was put on standby pending further discussions among 

the governmental agencies as to the responsibility and funding for response or mitigation actions 

to address this found oil.

As these discussions proceeded, the U.S. Coast Guard requested that additional borings be 

made within Blind Pass. From January 19-24, 2000, 50 additional cores were taken which 

provided a more detailed map of where residual oil pockets were located. An Assessment Team 

recommended continuation of the dredging project in Blind Pass as the best method for removal 

of the submerged oil. Dredging operations resumed on February 2, 2000, and approximately 

20,000 gallons of oil/water were recovered. The condition of this submerged oil after almost 

seven years in the natural environment is technically noteworthy. When found, the oil was still 

fairly fluid, producing sheens and releasing volatile or aromatic fractions. Substantial 

degradation due to aerobic or anaerobic processes was not evident (Urquhart-Donnelly et al.,

2000).

3. Site Location and Description

Blind Pass is located along the west-central Florida coast (Figure 1). It is a shallow pass 

that connects the Gulf of Mexico to Boca Ciega Bay between the north end of Long Key and 

Treasure Island.

4. Methods

4.1 Sediment Core Collection

Sediment cores were collected by Dr. Ping Wang of the University of South Florida’s

(USF) Department of Geology. A lightweight, portable vibracore system was used to collect the 

sediment cores. A 20-foot long, 3-inch diameter aluminum tube was pushed into the sediment by 

vibration. After maximum penetration of the core tube was achieved, the vibrator head was 

turned off and removed. The length of the core tube was measured on the inside and outside. 

The core tube was capped with a vacuum sealer plug to prevent sediment loss upon retrieval. 

Extraction of the core tube was accomplished by overlapping a chain to the core tube and 

attaching the chain to a pulley system mounted to a tripod and pulling the core tube out of the 

seabed. During extraction, the core tube was kept as vertical as possible. A diver capped the 

bottom of the core tube as it exited the seabed to prevent loss of sediment. Once on deck, the 

vacuum plug was removed and excess water drained from the core tube. Excess core tube was 

removed and both ends were sealed with caps and the caps secured with duct tape. The sediment 

core was then labeled with the station designation and stored for transport back to the USF 

Geology Laboratory.

4.2 Sediment Sampling for Petroleum Hydrocarbons

In the USF Geology Laboratory, core tubes were longitudinally cut with a circular saw and 

carefully split into two halves. Each half was placed in a pre-labeled polyurethane bag and 

sealed. One-half of each sediment core was retained by USF for grain size and other sediment 

analyses, while the other half was transported to AOML in Miami, Florida for petroleum 

hydrocarbon analysis.

At AOML, split sediment cores were placed in a trough and the total core length measured. 

Sediment types in each core were described and, during description, cores were visually 

examined for petroleum hydrocarbons. Areas exhibiting visual evidence of petroleum 

hydrocarbon contamination were sampled. In addition, one or more samples were collected from 

most of the cores. The sediment cores were measured from the top of the core (surface) to the 

area being sampled to record sample depth, and the sample was then extracted from within the 

sediment core. Each sample area was photographed before sediment removal. The sediment was 

extracted from each core with a clean metal spatula and placed in a pre-cleaned, labeled jar with 

a Teflon lid. Samples were stored at 4°C until analysis for total petroleum hydrocarbons (C8-

C40) by GC/FID and subsequent speciation studies of above-detection samples using GC/MS

could be performed.

4.3 Bouchard 155 Reference Sample

An oil sample from the Bouchard 155’s tank 7 was collected in 1993 just after the Tampa 

Bay oil spill. A sub-sample was obtained from the Louisiana State University’s Department of 

Environmental Studies in September 2007. This sample was useful in comparing petroleum 

hydrocarbon speciation data with field samples.

4.4 C8-C40 Total Petroleum Hydrocarbon Analysis (FL-PRO Methodology) 

The original scope and application of this method was to give an accurate concentration of 

petroleum hydrocarbons in environmental soil samples. The method has been modified for 

marine sediment samples in the alkane range of C8-C40. The components of interest are listed 

below:

Octane (C8) Hexacosane (C26)

Decane (C10) Octacosane (C28)

Dodecane (C12) Triacontane (C30)

Tetradecane (C14) Dotriacontane (C32)

Hexadecane (C16) Tetratriacontane (C34)

Octadecane (C18) Hexatriacontane (C36)

Eicosane (C20) Octatriacontane (C38)

Docosane (C22) Tetracontane (C40)

Tetracosane (C24)

A specified weight of sediment sample was spiked with two surrogates and extracted with 

methylene chloride. The sediment extract was then concentrated to a volume of 1.0 ml and 

treated with silica gel to remove potential organic interference. An aliquot was injected into a 

capillary column gas chromatograph equipped with a flame ionization detector. Quantification

was based on the detector response compared to a series of alkane standards. A Hewlett Packard 

5890/MSD 5973 with an auto-sampler gas chromatograph and a Hewlett Packard DB-5MS, 

30 m × 530 μm × 1.0 μm flame ionization detector was used for the C8-C40 analyses.

The integrated area for all peaks eluting from C8-C40 was determined using a baseline 

drawn from the baseline point prior to n-octane to a point past n-tetracontane where the baseline 

lowers. All areas including the “hump-a-gram” and surrogate standards were included. The 

concentration was determined by calibration factor calculations or by linear regression as listed 

in the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (FDEP) Florida Petroleum Residual 

Organic (FL-PRO) methods, sections 9.6.2 and 9.6.3. The time window and pattern of 

integration was constant for all standards and samples. The area of the surrogates was then 

subtracted from the samples. Detection levels were routinely 0.01 mg/Kg. Calculations were as 

follows:

Result = (y – b) ÷ m

where: y = area of sample – area of surrogate; 

b = y – intercept from calibration curve; and

m = slope from the calibration curve.

Results of sediment samples converted from mg/L to mg/Kg were as follows:

Result = X mg/L × (25 L/Kg ÷ % solid/100) × D

where: X = result (mg/L);

25 L/Kg = 40 g (1 Kg ÷ 1000 g) = 0.001 L ÷ 0.04 Kg;

% solid = % moisture – 100 from Metals Department; and

D = dilution factor (if any).

4.5 Petroleum Hydrocarbon Speciation Analysis

Petroleum hydrocarbon speciation was performed according to FDEP methods 8260 and 

8270. Extracts were analyzed employing two mass spectrometers: an 890 Agilent for the 8260

method and a 5973 Agilent for 8270 method for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Chromatograms were then converted into tabular formats and both chromatograms and tables were used 

for data interpretation. Detection levels varied with petroleum hydrocarbon but were routinely in 

the 1-5 μg /Kg range.

4.6 Fuel Fluorescence Detection (FFD) Probe

The FFD is based on fluorescence which, when certain substances are exposed to 

ultraviolet (UV) light, radiate light at different discrete wavelengths. The sensor module of the 

FFD contains a mercury vapor UV lamp that emits through a sapphire window on the side of the 

module. The UV light is absorbed by the material in the sediments which come in direct contact 

with the window. If fluorescing chemicals are present in the sediments, a portion of the UV lamp 

energy absorbed by the chemicals will be re-radiated at wavelengths specific to the compounds 

present. The re-radiated fluorescence is collected and detected with two photomultiplier tubes 

(PMTs). Optical filters configured in front of the PMTs are used to isolate fluorescence emission 

wavelengths corresponding to the pollutants of interest. The PMTs produce a voltage signal 

proportional to the amplitude of the radiated light (Figure 2, Table 1). The standard filter 

configuration enables the detection of fluorescence in two spectral regions: 280-450 nm (LFFD, 

lighter hydrocarbons) and >450 nm (HFFD, heavy hydrocarbons). While the FFD may be a 

useful screening method for hydrocarbons, it does not produce laboratory quality analytical 

results. The output of the FFD is influenced by specific site conditions. The natural 

“background” fluorescence of native sediments will vary, and dark-colored soils produce lower 

outputs for the same contamination levels than lighter-colored sediments (Vertek, 2007).

A series of different sediment types found in the test cores, i.e., clays, shell layers, quartz 

sand, etc., were analyzed by the FFD to determine background levels of fluorescence. 

Fluorescence peaks (measured in volts) were generated as the FFD was pushed along the length 

of the split sediment core. When above-background levels were detected, samples were collected 

for C8-C40 analyses and extracts of these used for GC/MS speciation.

5. Results

Staff from the University of South Florida collected 101 sediment cores for the Blind Pass 

project (Figure 3). The grid pattern formed by these cores provided good spatial resolution of the 

study area and enabled a thorough sampling of the site to be performed.

5.1 C8-C40 Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons

A total of 141 sub-samples were collected for C8-C40 analysis. Thirty-five of the samples 

(25%) generally exhibited low, but above-detection levels for petroleum hydrocarbons. Abovedetection level samples containing petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations ranged from 1.60-

346.0 mg/Kg (Table 2). Note that in several cases levels were above or below detection at 

different horizons within the same core.

A total of 38 samples were analyzed for C8-C40 from sediment cores collected from 

Outside of the Pass. Five of these samples exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations 

above detection limits. Petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations ranged from 4.2-21.2 mg/Kg 

(Table 2, Figures 4 and 5).

In the Shoal area, a total of 33 samples were analyzed for C8-C40. Twelve of these samples 

exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. Petroleum hydrocarbon 

concentrations ranged from 2.5-110.0 mg/Kg (Table 2, Figures 4 and 5).

Twenty-seven samples were analyzed for C8-C40 from sediment cores collected from the 

South Channel region of Blind Pass. Ten of these samples exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon 

concentrations above detection limits. Petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations ranged from 1.76-

to 346.0 mg/Kg (Table 2, Figures 4 and 5).

A total of 30 samples were analyzed for C8-C40 from the Mid Channel area of Blind Pass. 

Seven of these samples exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. 

Petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations ranged from 1.6-66.3 mg/Kg (Table 2, Figures 4 and 5).

Thirteen samples from the North Channel area of Blind Pass were analyzed for C8-C40. 

Only one sample exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon levels above detection limits. This sample 

had a petroleum hydrocarbon concentration of 30.6 mg/Kg (Table 2, Figures 4 and 5).

Average C8-C40 values for the five areas of Blind Pass are shown in Figure 6. The South 

Channel area exhibited the highest average concentration of C8-C40 petroleum hydrocarbons 

(19.9 mg/Kg). This is due in part to sample BP-81 (312-317 cm), which exhibited a 

concentration of 346.0 mg/Kg. The Shoal area contained the second highest average 

concentration of C8-C40 petroleum hydrocarbons (6.10 mg/Kg), followed by the Mid Channel 

(3.26 mg/Kg), North End Channel (2.55 mg/Kg), and Outside Pass (0.80 mg/Kg).

5.2 Aromatic and Aliphatic Fractions

The South Channel area of Blind Pass contained samples with the highest concentrations 

of the aliphatic C16-C35 fraction and, within the South Channel, BP-81 (312-317 cm) exhibited 

the highest concentration of 357 mg/Kg (Figure 7). If the aliphatic concentrations are shown with 

BP-81 (312-317 cm) removed (Figure 8), the highest concentrations of the C16-C35 aliphatic 

fraction are still found in the South Channel, e.g., BP-81 (250-260 cm) at 32.6 mg/Kg and BP-39 

(231-238 cm) at 38.0 mg/Kg. Only one sample from Outside the Pass, BP-1 (249-254 cm),

contained measurable concentrations of the C8-C10 aliphatic fraction (99.2 μg/Kg). The Bouchard 

155 reference sample (Figure 9) exhibited very high concentrations of aliphatics. The highest 

concentration of aliphatics was in the C16-C35 fraction (160,000 mg/Kg), which was also the case 

in many of the sediment cores sampled.

The Shoal and South Channel areas of Blind Pass contained samples with the highest 

concentration of aromatic fractions. The highest concentrations of the aromatic C12-C16 fraction 

were found in Shoal samples BP-24 (293-294 cm) and BP-26 (262-263 cm) in which 73.6 and 

56.8 μg/Kg were detected respectively (Figure 10). The highest concentrations of the aromatic 

C16-C21 fraction were found in the Shoal and South Channel samples BP-45 (225-230 cm) and 

BP-81 (312-317 cm), which contained 171 and 168 μg/Kg respectively (Figure 10). The highest 

concentration of the aromatic C21-C35 fraction, 61.6 μg/Kg, was found in sample BP-81 (312-

317 cm) (Figure 10).

The Bouchard 155 reference sample (Figure 11) exhibited high concentrations of 

aromatics. The highest concentration of aromatics was in the C12-C16 (19,920 mg/Kg) and C16-

C21 (8,350 mg/Kg) fractions, which was also the case in many of the sediment cores sampled.

5.3 Reference Sample Petroleum Hydrocarbon Speciation

An oil sample collected just after the oil spill in 1993 from the Bouchard 155’s tank 7 was 

analyzed by GC/MS to characterize the speciation of petroleum hydrocarbons. The Bouchard 

155 sample contained a significant amount of volatile petroleum hydrocarbons, mainly species of 

naphthalene (Figure 12). The speciation of the non-volatile petroleum hydrocarbons of the same 

sample are shown in Figure 13. The non-volatile species were more representative of the 

petroleum hydrocarbon species found in most of the Blind Pass sediment cores, but were present 

in the Pass at much lower concentrations.

5.4 Field Sample Petroleum Hydrocarbon Speciation

North Channel, Mid Channel, Shoal, South Channel, and Outside Pass individual 

petroleum hydrocarbon speciation data are shown in Figures 14-18. Although sediment cores 

BP-57, BP-86, BP-1, BP-40, BP-73, and BP-35 exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbon 

concentrations above total detection limits, no speciation was possible due to individual 

hydrocarbon species being below detection. In a few samples collected at the beginning of the 

project, speciation was not conducted. Appendix A includes a photograph of each sediment core 

interval sampled, a C8-C40 table, a chromatogram image, and a speciation table for each sample 

that had total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. The photographs 

illustrate that there was usually no visual evidence of elevated petroleum hydrocarbons.

It is noteworthy that in several cores the speciation patterns were distinct from the 

reference sample, and likely non-spill sources were evident. For example, a sediment sample 

from the North Channel, core BP-97 (192-197 cm), which exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbon 

concentrations above detection limits (Figure 14), revealed an unusual speciation pattern. The 

speciation revealed that this sample contained mostly phthalates (300-400 μg/Kg), as well as low 

concentrations of ketones (5.5 μg/Kg) and toluene (7.8 μg/Kg).

The Mid Channel area of Blind Pass contained five sediment cores that exhibited total 

petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. Sediment cores BP-59, BP-70,

and BP-76 contained levels of individual petroleum hydrocarbons high enough to permit

speciation study. As in the North Channel core BP-97, sediment core BP-59 (186-191 cm) 

contained ketones (4.4 μg/Kg) and phthalates (2.1 μg/Kg) (Figure 15A). Two intervals (24-

26 cm and 236-241 cm) in core BP-70 exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbons above detection 

limits, but only one (24-26 cm) had individual petroleum hydrocarbon species above detection 

limits. This interval contained mostly phthalates (433 μg/Kg) and ketones (20.0 μg/Kg); two 

toulene species accounted for 8.1 and 8.7 μg/Kg respectively (Figure 15B).

Two intervals in sediment core BP-76 (78-81 cm and 224-229 cm) exhibited total 

petroleum hydrocarbons above detection limits. Interval 78-81 cm contained 1.8 μg/Kg of 

methyl-tert-butyl-ether, while the deeper interval, 224-229 cm, contained petroleum hydrocarbon species similar to the Bouchard 155 reference sample (Figure 15C). These species 

include fluoranthene (4.7 μg/Kg), benzo(a)anthracene (7.3 μg/Kg), benzo(b)fluoranthene 

(13.2 μg/Kg), benzo(a)pyrene (14.0 μg/Kg), pyrene (8.4 μg/Kg), and chyrsene (4.7 μg/Kg).

In the South Channel, five sediment cores exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbons above 

detection limits. Cores BP-39, BP-81, BP-82, and BP-83 exhibited speciation patterns that had a 

more complex and heavier petroleum hydrocarbon pattern which was similar, although 

significantly degraded, to the Bouchard 155 reference sample. No speciation data were available 

for core BP-1, although two sediment intervals (239-244 cm and 249-254 cm) contained abovedetection levels of petroleum hydrocarbons. Sediment core BP-39 contained three sediment 

intervals (168-178 cm, 231-238 cm, and 256-266 cm) which exhibited concentrations of 

petroleum hydrocarbons above detection, but only one sediment interval, 231-238 cm, could be 

analyzed for speciation. The 231-238 cm sediment interval contained 1.9 μg/Kg of methyl-tertbutyl-ether, 2.5 μg/Kg of fluoranthene, 5.7 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 2.6 μg/Kg of benzo(b)

fluoranthene, 4.2 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene, 9.5 μg/Kg of pyrene, and 3.4 μg/Kg of chrysene 

(Figure 16A).

Sediment core BP-81 also exhibited three above detection sediment intervals (250-260 cm, 

312-317 cm, and 328-338 cm), with above detection total petroleum hydrocarbons. Sediment 

interval 250-260 cm contained 5.7 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 15.5 μg/Kg of benzo(b)

fluoranthene, 14.9 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene, 16.0 μg/Kg of pyrene, 7.4 μg/Kg of chrysene, and 

1.9 μg/Kg of dibenzo(a,h)anthracene. Sediment interval 312-317 cm contained 7.2 μg/Kg of 

benzo(a)anthracene, 50.0 μg/Kg of benzo(b)fluoranthene, 64.7 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene, 

25.0 μg/Kg of benzo(ghi)perylene, 3.2 μg/Kg acenaphthylene, 23.0 μg/Kg of pyrene, 13.9 μg/Kg

16.5 μg/Kg of dibenzo(a,h)anthracene. The last and deepest sediment interval, 328-338 cm,

contained only two petroleum hydrocarbon species, 1.5 μg/Kg of benzo(b)fluoranthene and 

1.7 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene (Figure 16B).

Sediment core BP-82 had one interval, 36-40 cm, which contained 2.6 μg/Kg methyl-tertbutyl-ether (Figure 16C). Sediment core BP-83 (70-75 cm) contained one sediment interval that 

exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. Sediment interval 

70-75 cm contained 1.4 μg/Kg of methyl ethyl ketone, 4.5 μg/Kg of methy-tert-butyl-ether, 

10.6 μg/Kg of naphthalene, 4.1 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 7.8 μg/Kg of benzo(b)

indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (Figure 16D).

The Shoal area of Blind Pass had a total of six sediment cores which exhibited total 

petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. No speciation data are available 

for core BP-40, although one sediment interval, 109-119 cm, contained above-detection levels of 

petroleum hydrocarbons.

Sediment core BP-24 had three sediment intervals (116-121 cm, 293-294 cm, and 359-

360 cm) which exhibited petroleum hydrocarbons above detection limits. Sediment interval 116-

121 cm had levels too low to determine species of individual petroleum hydrocarbons. Sediment 

interval 293-294 cm contained 2.9 μg/Kg of methyl ethyl ketone, 2.4 μg/Kg of methyl-tert-butylether, 1.8 μg/Kg of acenaphthene, 11.1 μg/Kg of phenanthrene, 28.0 μg/Kg of fluorantene,

Sediment core BP-45 had three sediment intervals (189-191 cm, 225-230 cm, and 266-

272 cm) which exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon levels above detection. Petroleum hydrocarbon 

speciation could only be determined in sediment interval 225-230 cm. This interval contained 

37.9 μg/Kg of fluoranthene, 21.0 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 26.1 μg/Kg of benzo(b) 

fluoranthene, 15.4 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene, 2.4 μg/Kg of benzo(ghi)perylene, 31.0 μg/Kg of 

pyrene, 40.0 μg/Kg of chrysene, and 1.9 μg/Kg of indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (Figure 17D).

Sediment core BP-91 had only one sediment interval, 238-243 cm, which exhibited 

petroleum hydrocarbon levels above detection. It contained 2.3 μg/Kg of methyl-tert-butylether, 5.1 μg/Kg of phenanthrene, 6.1 μg/Kg of fluoranthene, 1.5 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 

1.1 μg/Kg of benzo(b)fluoranthene, and 4.2 μg/Kg of pyrene (Figure 17E). Most of the 

petroleum hydrocarbons detected in the Shoal area sediment cores were similar in composition to 

the Bouchard 155 reference sample.

The Outside area of Blind Pass had a total of five sediment cores (BP-C, BP-57, BP-88, 

BP-86, and BP-90) which exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection 

limits. Sediment cores BP-57 and BP-86 had no speciation data because of the individual 

petroleum hydrocarbons being below detection.

Sediment core BP-C had one sediment interval, 256-261 cm, which exhibited petroleum 

hydrocarbons above detection. The petroleum hydrocarbons were comprised of 1.9 μg/Kg of 

methyl ethyl ketone, 1.7 μg/Kg of methyl-tert-butyl-ether, 2.5 μg/Kg of phenanthrene, 

12.5 μg/Kg of fluoranthene, 1.8 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 11.3 μg/Kg of benzo(b) 

fluoranthene, 8.7 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene, 6.0 μg/Kg of benzo(ghi)perylene, 10.9 μg/Kg of 

pyrene, 7.9 μg/Kg of chrysene, 5.8 μg/Kg of benzo(k)fluoranthene, and 11.5 μg/Kg of 

indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (Figure 18A).

Sediment core BP-88 had one sediment interval, 215-217 cm, which exhibited levels of 

petroleum hydrocarbons above detection. This interval contained 2.2 μg/Kg of methyl-tert-butylether, 3.3 μg/Kg of phenanthrene, 6.6 μg/Kg of fluoranthene, 1.2 μg/Kg benzo(b)fluoranthene, 

1.5 μg/Kg of benzo(a)pyrene, and 5.9 μg/Kg of pyrene (Figure 18B).

Sediment core BP-90 had one sediment interval, 221-223 cm, which exhibited levels of 

petroleum hydrocarbons above detection. This interval was comprised of 6.6 μg/Kg of methyl 

ethyl ketone, 3.2 μg/Kg of methyl-tert-butyl-ether, 3.1 μg/Kg of phenanthrene, 11.9 μg/Kg of 

fluoranthene, 2.3 μg/Kg of benzo(a)anthracene, 1.7 μg/Kg of benzo(b)fluoranthene, 1.1 μg/Kg of 

benzo(a)pyrene, and 8.5 μg/Kg of pyrene (Figure 18C). Most of the petroleum hydrocarbon 

species detected in the sediment cores from the Outside Pass area were similar to those detected 

in the Bouchard 155 reference sample.

5.5 Threshold Effective and Possible Effective Level (TEL and PEL) Results

As an interpretative tool, the FDEP Report Approach to the Assessment of Sediment 

Quality in Florida Coastal Waters, Volume 1: Development and Evaluation of Sediment Quality 

Assessment Guidelines by MacDonald (l994) was used as a reference to assess contamination 

levels of individual petroleum hydrocarbons. The levels of individual hydrocarbons were 

compared to the TEL (threshold effective levels) and PEL (possible effective levels) as discussed 

in this document, which are based on an extensive literature database. As described in detail 

below, almost without exception the individual petroleum hydrocarbons were found at 

concentrations considerably below TEL described in the literature.

5.5.1 High Molecular Weight Hydrocarbons

Concentrations of benzo(a)anthracene (Figure 19) were generally highest in the Shoal area 

of Blind Pass. The highest value (20 μg/Kg) observed was considerably lower than the TEL 

value of 74.8 μg/Kg. The highest concentration of benzo(a)pyrene found in the Blind Pass 

sediment cores (Figure 20) was approximately 20 μg/Kg, which is lower than the TEL value of 

88.8 μg/Kg.

Pyrene and chrysene values were highest in the Shoal and South Channel areas of Blind 

Pass. The highest pyrene value was five times less than the TEL value (Figure 21), and chrysene 

values were much lower than the TEL (Figure 22). Fluoranthene occurred most frequently in the 

Outside Pass, Shoal area, and South Channel regions of Blind Pass. The highest concentration

(38.0 μg/Kg) was observed in the Shoal area, which was considerably less than the TEL value of 

113.0 μg/Kg (Figure 23).

5.5.2 Low Molecular Weight Hydrocarbons

The highest concentration of phenanthrene (11.1 μg/Kg) was eight times less than the TEL 

(86.7 μg/Kg) in a Shoal area sediment core (Figure 24). Detectable concentrations of 

acenaphthylene was found in one Shoal area and two South Channel sediment cores in Blind 

Pass with the highest level (3.2 μg/Kg) being half that of the TEL value (5.9 μg/Kg) (Figure 25). 

Only one Shoal area sediment core exhibited above-detection levels of fluorene (Figure 26) at 

concentrations 13 times lower than the TEL. Anthracene in three Shoal area Blind Pass sediment 

cores were above detection levels (Figure 27) at concentrations 18 times lower than the TEL 

value. Acenaphthene was found in one Shoal area Blind Pass sediment core at a concentration 

three times less than the TEL (Figure 28). Phthalates were found in two sediment cores (Figure 

29). The highest concentration, 432.0 μg/Kg, was more than double the TEL value (182.0 

μg/Kg).

The following histograms describe the individual speciation data compared to published 

TEL and PEL information. These have been color coded to represent the five different areas 

sampled in Blind Pass: red = North End Channel; yellow = Mid Channel; blue = South Channel;

green = Shoal; and orange = Outside Pass.

5.6 Spatial Distribution of C8-C40 Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons

To depict spatial distribution of petroleum hydrocarbons, the Blind Pass sediment core 

petroleum hydrocarbon concentration data were divided into four, 1-meter depth intervals 

(0-99 m, 100-199 cm, 200-299 cm, and 300-399 cm).

The 0-99 cm core depth intervals contained five sediment cores which had total petroleum 

hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. These sediment cores were located in the 

Mid and South Channels of Blind Pass (Figure 30). The 100-199 cm depth intervals had a total 

of eight sediment cores containing total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection 

limits. The sediment cores were located from the North End Channel to the Shoal area of Blind 

Pass (Figure 31). The 200-299 cm depth intervals from the Mid Channel and Outside the Pass 

had 15 sediment cores with total petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits

(Figure 32). The 300-399 cm depth intervals had only two sediment cores containing total 

petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits. These sediment cores were located 

in the South Channel and Shoal area of Blind Pass (Figure 33). One core in the South Channel 

(BP-81) contained the highest concentration of petroleum hydrocarbons found in this study 

(346.0 mg/Kg).

5.7 FFD Probe Analysis

Several sediment types were examined using the FFD probe (Table 3). The FFD probe of 

LFFD value refers to the lighter fuels/soils that fluoresce at wavelengths of 280-450 nm, and 

HFFD refers to heavier fuels/darker soils that fluoresce at wavelengths greater than 450 nm. 

Analysis of the different sediment types with the FFD probe revealed that the lighter-colored 

sand and shell hash had the highest voltage output (Figure 34). In contrast, a mixture of mud, 

sand, and shells had the lowest output (Figure 34). Therefore, the FFD probe produced a higher 

voltage output for lighter-colored sand and lower output for darker sediments, which is why the 

lighter-colored sand produced the larger signal. The shell hash was quite similar in texture, but 

produced the highest output due to the fluorescence of calcium carbonate. In general, the LFFD 

values ranged from 0.2278 v-0.3501 v and the HFFD values ranged from 0.1060 v-0.1687 v for 

all sediment types tested in Blind Pass.

The FFD probe analyses for all Blind Pass sediment cores are presented in Appendix B. 

Figures 35-56 show the FFD probe analyses of sediment cores that contained samples which

exhibited concentrations of total petroleum hydrocarbons above detection limits. Due to the 

compaction of the sediment cores during collection, the blue-shaded region on the graphs show 

the general location of the sample collected from each core for GC/FID analysis. The corrected 

depth and GC/FID result for each sample is also listed in the blue-shaded region.

Many of the sediment cores produced peaks of fluorescence when the FFD probe was 

pushed down the length of the core, but no peaks were higher than the background fluorescence 

of the native sediments. Since the FFD probe was received later during the study, some samples 

were collected before the FFD probe analysis which is why some of the samples were collected 

from regions in the core that show no peaks in fluorescence. These samples were collected based 

on either the presence of dark laminations within the sediment core or chosen at random 

intervals. Several peaks of fluorescence produced by the FFD probe did contain detectable 

levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons when analyzed by CG/FID. However, a greater number of 

those peaks exhibited undetectable levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons.

6. Discussion

Blind Pass intra-core and spatial distribution of total petroleum hydrocarbons was found to 

be generally low. Speciation studies using GC/MS also revealed levels of individual 

hydrocarbons in all but one case to be below the threshold levels described in the literature 

(MacDonald, 1994). The presence of detectable hydrocarbons was, in most cases, not visually 

evident or restricted to specific sediment types. In several instances, layers within a single core 

exhibited above- and below-detection values. In addition, petroleum hydrocarbons were not 

concentrated in specific localities within Blind Pass, but several localities in all regions examined 

exhibited above-detection values. In many cases, the 100-300 cm level in the cores contained 

horizons at which above-detection values were found. At relatively shallow depths in five cores, 

concentrations of “lighter” petroleum hydrocarbons were found distinct in composition from the 

“heavier” oil anticipated to be found residually from the spill site and from the Bouchard 155

heating oil No. 6 reference sample. The fuel fluorescence detection instrumentation was 

evaluated in this study and, from our calibration and test studies, appears sensitive to sediment 

type and more efficient at detection of lighter-weight petroleum hydrocarbons.

Based on the type of oil documented to be released in the environment during the 1993 

spill and characterization of the Bouchard 155 sample, the hydrocarbons recovered in this study 

were anticipated to predominantly be those of fuel oil No. 6, which is often referred to as 

“Bunker C.” Discussion of fuel oil is appropriate to better understand the analytical approach 

applied. Fuel oils are divided into two classes: distillates and residuals. Numbers 1 and 2 fuel oils 

are distillates and include kerosene, diesel, and home heating oil. Numbers 4, 5, and 6 fuel oils 

are residuals or black oils, and they all contain crude distillation tower bottoms (tar) to which 

cutter stocks (semi-refined or refined distillates) have been added. Number 4 fuel oil contains the 

most cutter stock, and No. 6 fuel oil contains the least. Commonly available fuel oils include No. 

1, 2, 4, 5, and 6 (Wang et al., 1994).

The boiling points, viscosities, and densities of these fuel oils increase with increasing 

number designation. The boiling point ranges for No. 1, 2, and 4 fuel oils are about 180-320°C, 

175-340°C, and 150-480°C, respectively. Numbers 1 and 2 fuel oils contain hydrocarbons with 

10-22 carbon atoms per molecule; the carbon range for No. 4 fuel oil is 22-40 atoms per 

molecule. Numbers 5 and 6 fuel oils have a boiling point range of 150-540°C but differ in the 

amounts of residue they contain: No. 5 fuel oil contains a small amount of residue, whereas No.

6 fuel oil contains a large amount. Numbers 5 and 6 fuel oils contain hydrocarbons with 28-90 

carbon atoms per molecule. Fuel oils typically contain about 60% aliphatic hydrocarbons and 

40% aromatic hydrocarbons (Wang et al., 1994).

A sample of fuel oil No. 6 from the Bouchard 155 tanker, which contaminated Blind Pass 

during an oil spill in August 1993, was analyzed by GC/MS for comparison with petroleum 

hydrocarbons found in sediment cores recently collected. Fuel oil No. 6 is characterized as 

having n-alkanes ranging from nC13-nC32 and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH’s), which 

include benzene, naphthalene, phenanthrene, fluorene, pyrene, and chrysene (National Research 

Council, 1985). The reference sample obtained from the Louisiana State University’s 

Department of Environmental Science for the Bouchard 155 contained volatile (naphthalenes) 

and non-volatile hydrocarbons (chyrsene, pyrene, fluorene, phenanthrene, and benzenes) 

(Figures 12 and 13).
51

The composition of petroleum and its products is complex and variable, which complicates 

measurement of total and individual petroleum hydrocarbons (TRPH). For this reason, the 

Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s FL-PRO method with a detection limit of 

0.01 mg/Kg was employed for this study. Weathering effects may further complicate the 

measurement of petroleum hydrocarbons in sediment. The GC/MS speciation method used in 

this study was also a FDEP-approved method which routinely has a detection level of 1 μg/Kg 

for individual petroleum hydrocarbons. When a petroleum product is released into water and 

incorporated into sediment, the product’s composition immediately begins to change. The 

components with lower boiling points are volatilized, the more water-soluble components 

migrate in the sediment, and biodegradation can affect many other components. Within a short 

period, the oil in the sediment may have only some characteristics in common with the parent 

product. However, No. 6 fuel oil is remarkably persistent in the environment, and several studies 

have found this oil to be essentially unchanged even after several years in the sediment (Alimi, 

2002; Douglas et al., 1996). This may account for our ability to detect, although at relatively low 

concentrations, petroleum hydrocarbons with a similar make-up in the Blind Pass sediment. In 

this study, 22 of the 101 sediment cores collected within and just outside Blind Pass contained 

petroleum hydrocarbon contamination (Table 1) with several of the cores containing multiple 

layers of contamination.

The aliphatic fraction C16-C35 was evident in the sediment cores which had levels of 

petroleum hydrocarbons above detection limits (Figure 8). The Bouchard 155 sample contained 

C8-C10, C10-C12, C12-C16, and C16-C35 aliphatic fractions with the C16-C35 comprising 

approximately 80% of the total (Figure 9). These fractions were at much lower percentages in 

the cores.

Interestingly, our preliminary studies indicate a systematic decrease in chrysene/pyrene 

ratios in the field samples compared to the Bouchard 155 reference sample (Figures 13, 21, and 

22). Changes in these ratios may be a good measure of weathering of petroleum hydrocarbons in 

the sediment, and we are in the process of examining differential weathering of oil in the cores.

The differences between the Bouchard 155 and Blind Pass samples may be attributed to 

weathering effects over the past 15 years. Ezra et al. (2000), Wetzel (1995), and Nelson et al.

(2006) found that lower molecular weight aliphatics were lost within the first several weeks to a 

year, possibly due to evaporation and/or dissolution.

The aromatic fraction of the sediment cores which exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon 

concentrations above detection limits were comprised mainly of C12-C16 and C16-C21 fractions 

(Figure 10). These are the same aromatic fractions found in the Bouchard 155 sample (Figure 

11) but at much lower levels, again likely due to weathering effects. The National Research 

Council (1985) has shown that weathered oil will exhibit losses of low molecular weight 

aromatic hydrocarbons early on after a spill, leaving only the heavy molecular weight species.

A mixture of ketone, ether, phthalates, and toluene comprised the hydrocarbons which 

were found in sediment cores BP-97 (North End Channel) (Figure 14) and BP-59, BP-70, BP-76 

(Mid Channel) (Figures 15A-15C), and BP-82 (South Channel) (Figure 16C). Most of these 

contaminated sediment intervals were located at relatively shallow core depths, usually within 
52

the first meter of sediment. These hydrocarbons do not resemble those of the Bouchard 155, 

which suggests the possibility of a different source of contamination such as storm water runoff.

Sediment cores BP-76 (Mid Channel) (Figure 15C), BP-39, BP-81, BP-83 (South Channel) 

(Figures 16A, 16B, and 16D), BP-24, BP-26, BP-31, BP-45, BP-91 (Shoal) (Figures 17A-E), 

BP-C, BP-88 and BP-90 (Outside Pass) (Figures 18A-C) contained sediment intervals which 

exhibited petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations high enough to perform individual hydrocarbon 

species analysis using GC/MS.

These samples were found to contain varying concentrations of phenanthrene, 

fluoranthene, benzo(a)anthracene, benzo(b)fluoranthene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(ghi)perylene, 

acenaphthylene, fluorene, anthracene, pyrene, chrysene, benzo(k)fluoranthene, indeno (1,2,3-

cd)pyrene, and dibenzo(ah)anthracene. Most of these individual hydrocarbon species were also 

found at much higher concentrations in the Bouchard 155 sample (Figures 12 and 13). Although 

the Bouchard 155 sample contained significant amounts of naphthalenes, these were probably 

lost over time in the Blind Pass samples due to weathering effects. Naphthalene was found to 

decrease below detection levels within a week, while methylnaphthalene decreased below 

detection levels within two weeks of an oil spill involving No. 6 fuel oil (Ezra et al., 2000). 

Wetzel (1995) also found naphthalenes to be lost within the first few weeks of exposure after a 

spill of No. 6 fuel oil, leaving behind only the phenanthrenes, benzenes, chrysenes, pyrenes, and 

fluorenes.

The petroleum hydrocarbons were predominately distributed within the 100-299 cm core 

intervals (Figures 31 and 32), with many above-detection samples near the 200 cm depth. 

Above-detection levels of the petroleum hydrocarbons in the sediment were not geographically 

localized within the Pass, but were found near the center of the channel and around the edges of 

the shoal. Several were also found outside the Pass. These concentrations may be related to 

differing current velocities and sedimentation rates in Blind Pass.

The individual petroleum hydrocarbon species were compared to known TEL and PEL 

values from MacDonald (1994) to assess contamination levels of specific petroleum 

hydrocarbons. As shown in Figures 19-28, in all but one case individual hydrocarbon 

concentrations were below their associated TEL values and much below their PEL values. The 

only individual hydrocarbon reaching concentrations above threshold levels was bis(2 

ethylhexyl)phthalate, which was found to be twice as high as the TEL value, but about six times 

lower than its corresponding PEL value. This compound is a commonly used “plasticizer” and 

not found in fuel oil. It is unlikely the source of this compound was the original fuel spill. This 

information may be useful in assessing the toxic potential these contaminated sediments may 

pose to the environment.

The sediment cores were analyzed with a FFD probe, which measured the fluorescence of 

the sediments as they were pushed along the core, displaying the readout in voltage. Different 

sediment types were collected from the cores and analyzed with the FFD to provide an average 

of background fluorescence in Blind Pass. Sediment types consisted of shell hash, clean quartz 

sand, organics, clay, and a combination of each. The shell was found to produce the highest 

fluorescence, likely due to the highly fluorescent nature of calcium carbonate, while the clay 

produced the lowest fluorescence (Table 3, Figure 34). The manufacturer states that dark-colored 
53

sediments produce lower fluorescence than lighter-colored sediments (Vertek, 2007). The graphs 

showing the fluorescence profile for each sediment core that contained samples with petroleum 

hydrocarbon concentrations above detection limits are in Figures 34-55. Many of the profiles 

exhibit peaks of fluorescence, but none were found to be above background levels found in Blind 

Pass. All but two of the above-detection, GC/FID-analyzed samples were below detection limits 

of the FFD probe (100 mg/Kg). The above FFD detection limit samples were from BP-45 (266-

272 cm), 110.0 mg/Kg, and BP-81 (312-317 cm), 346.0 mg/Kg.

Subsamples were collected from BP-45 and BP-81 for GC/FID analysis before the FFD 

probe analysis was conducted. Subsequently, a sediment sample from each core was examined in 

the FFD probe. The results were below detection of the probe. These results may be related to 

sediment type since BP-45 was a clay/sand mixture, while BP-81 was a darker sand/shell 

mixture. The FFD probe’s detection limit is 100 ppm oil from clean sand but may produce a 

lower fluorescence readout when used with oil from darker sediment (Vertek, 2007), as was the 

case for the above two samples. 

The probe was tested with lighter hydrocarbons such as vacuum pump oil, olive oil, and 

gasoline, all of which produced a very pronounced peak of fluorescence. However, when heavier 

hydrocarbons were used, the fluorescence peak was only slightly above the background levels of 

clean Blind Pass sediment. A sample from the Exxon Valdez spill, which was “heavier” oil, was 

also analyzed by the FFD and found to exhibit a poor response. The results of this study suggest 

the FFD probe will likely be useful in detecting oils composed of lighter-weight petroleum 

hydrocarbons, but may not detect heavier-weight petroleum hydrocarbons in darker sediment. 

This may be especially evident in the detection of oil which has been exposed to weathering over 

extended periods of time.

7. Conclusions

1. Twenty-two of the 101 sediment cores collected in Blind Pass contained horizons with low, 

but above-detection levels (0.01mg/Kg) of C8-C40 total petroleum hydrocarbons using the 

Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s FL-PRO methodology and GC/FID.

2. Detected concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were generally found at the 100-

300 cm depths in Blind Pass cores.

3. Although petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations were not regionally localized, they were 

noted in the center of the Channel, around the edges of the Shoal area, and Outside the 

Pass.

4. Blind Pass GC/MS petroleum hydrocarbon speciation analyses indicated above-detection 

(>1 μg/Kg) of non-volatile individual hydrocarbons which were similar to those found in 

the Bouchard 155 reference sample. Common hydrocarbon species included acenaphthene, 

fluorene, anthracene, acenaphthlene, chyrsene, pyrene, benzo(a)pyrene, benzo(b)

fluoranthene, fluoranthene, and phenanthrene.
54

5. Several sediment cores located at the North end of the channel and within the Mid channel 

contained phthalates, ketones, and ether. These may be from a source of hydrocarbon 

contamination distinct from the 1993 oil spill, possibly storm water runoff. Most of these 

were found in the upper 99 cm depth of the sediment cores.

6. The FFD probe detected peaks of fluorescence in all the sediment cores, but none were 

above background levels of the native sediments found in Blind Pass. All petroleum 

hydrocarbon concentrations were below the detection limits (100 mg/Kg) of the FFD, with 

the exception of two samples with concentrations of 110.0 mg/Kg and 346.0 mg/Kg. In 

addition to these samples being at or just above the detection limits of the FFD, they were 

present in dark-colored sediments which affect the fluorescence peaks of the FFD. These 

results indicate the samples may have been below detection levels for FFD analyses.

7. The FFD responded well when fresh oil was mixed in Blind Pass sediment and analyzed. 

However, it showed little response to a sample of degraded oil from the Exxon Valdez spill. 

Therefore, the FFD may not be sensitive enough to detect areas of petroleum hydrocarbon 

contamination when the hydrocarbons have been significantly degraded, as is the case at

Blind Pass.

Discussion of Blind Pass Core Study in Relation to Sediment

Quality Guidelines and Soil Cleanup Target

Level Guidance Documents
220

Interpretation of the petroleum hydrocarbon concentration data from sediment sampled in 

the Blind Pass core study may be addressed by an examination of the applicable NOAA and 

FDEP guidelines. Overviews on this topic have been published by both NOAA’s National Status 

and Trends Program (SQuiRT, 2008) and the FDEP (MacDonald, 1994). Since no national 

criteria or widely applicable numerical tools exist, it is difficult to assess possible effects of 

particular chemical concentrations in sediments. However, several numerical sediment quality 

guidelines have been developed as informal interpretive tools.

NOAA’s sediment quality guidelines were not developed as regulatory criteria or 

standards, nor were they intended to serve as cleanup or remediation targets. They were also not 

intended for pass-fail criteria for dredged material or any other regulatory purpose. Instead, they

were developed and intended to provide informal guidelines for use in interpreting chemical data 

from analyses of sediment. These guidelines were derived using endpoints at which adverse 

effects in biota were documented. The 10th and 50th percentiles were identified for each 

chemical tested. The 10th percentile values were named “effects range-low,” indicative of 

concentrations below which adverse effects rarely occur. The 50th percentile (median) values 

were named “effects range-median,” representative of concentrations above which effects 

frequently occur.

The FDEP’s sediment quality guidelines were also derived using endpoints at which 

adverse effects were reported to biota. The threshold effective level is calculated as the 

geometric mean of the 15th percentile concentration of the toxic effects data and the median of 

the no-effect data. It represents the concentration below which adverse effects rarely occur. The 

possible effective level is calculated as the geometric mean of 50% of impacted toxic samples 

and 85% of the non-impacted samples. It represents concentrations above which effects 

frequently occur.

The FDEP’s Division of Waste Management-Bureau of Petroleum Storage Systems 

developed total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbon guidelines for soil cleanup target levels. 

These guidelines for direct exposure and leachability results were obtained using the FL-PRO 

analytical method. This method was used to measure the total recoverable petroleum 

hydrocarbons in the Blind Pass sediment cores, in addition to individual speciation studies. A

discussion of the ranges established and how they may be applied to the Blind Pass study

follows.

Table 1 compares the total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon results obtained from Blind 

Pass cores to the NOAA and FDEP sediment quality guideline values. Table 2 compares the total 

recoverable petroleum hydrocarbon results from Blind Pass sediment cores to the FDEP’s soil 

cleanup target levels for direct exposure and leachability.

The total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons listed in Table 1 refer to the sum of the 

concentrations of each of the 13 low and high molecular weight polycyclic aromatic 

hydrocarbons for which toxicity data exist. These data show that all Blind Pass sediment cores 

that contained petroleum hydrocarbons, and in which speciation of individual hydrocarbons were 

measured, contained concentrations of total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons well below the

effective range-low (NOAA) and threshold effective level (FDEP) values discussed above in 

which adverse biota effects have been reported.
221

Table 1: Blind Pass total polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon results compared to the sediment quality 

guidelines developed by NOAA and the FDEP. Note that the Blind Pass values are considerably below 

NOAA’s effects range-low and effects range-median values and the FDEP’s threshold effective and 

possible effective levels.

In this study, the threshold effective level and possible effective level values have been

depicted graphically with the concentrations of individual petroleum hydrocarbons in the Blind 

Pass sediment cores shown. All concentrations of individual petroleum hydrocarbon species 

were lower than the FDEP’s threshold effective level values at which adverse biota effects rarely 

occur.

The soil cleanup target levels for the Blind Pass total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbon 

values listed in Table 2 were calculated by the FDEP’s Bureau of Petroleum Storage Systems.

Only one value from sediment core BP-81 (312-317 cm) exhibited a value slightly higher than 

the minimum soil cleanup target level value for freshwater/marine surface waters. The FL-PRO 

method does not distinguish between aliphatics and the more toxic aromatics but, by analyzing 

these samples through the use of GC/FID, individual hydrocarbons that were present could be
222

evaluated. It was found that the C16-C35 aliphatics comprised the bulk of the petroleum 

hydrocarbons in the sample, rather than the more toxic aromatics. In general, the aromatics were 

found at low levels and in only some of the samples.

The original laboratory sampling to evaluate the presence of petroleum hydrocarbons 

routinely involved one subsample collected from each sediment core. After our initial surveys, 

additional subsamplings were undertaken to examine horizons above and below core levels in 

which petroleum hydrocarbons were detected. This was performed in an effort to better 

characterize the petroleum hydrocarbon concentrations in the sediment cores. The sediment cores 

that had zones of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination were BP-81 (250-338 cm), BP-45 (189-

272 cm), BP-39 (168-266 cm), BP-1 (239-254 cm), BP-24 (116-360 cm), and BP-31 (183-271 

cm). All exhibited sediment quality guideline values below the levels at which adverse effects 

rarely occur (Table 1). However, when examined using the FDEP’s soil cleanup target levels in 

Table 2, BP-81 (346 mg/Kg) did exhibit a value slightly higher than the soil cleanup target level 

value of 340 mg/Kg.

The sediment quality guidelines are only guidelines by which to evaluate the potential 

effects that concentrations of certain chemicals may pose to the surrounding environment. They

do not represent official NOAA policy and do not constitute criteria or clean-up levels. NOAA 

does not endorse their use for any other purpose.

In summary, all concentrations of individual petroleum hydrocarbon species were lower 

than the FDEP threshold effective level values at which adverse biota effects rarely occur. The 

BP-81 sample (312-317 cm) was not dominated by toxic aromatics.

Table 2. Blind Pass total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbon results from sediment cores compared to the 

FDEP’s soil cleanup target levels for total recoverable petroleum hydrocarbons. Note the soil cleanup target 

level value for one core, BP-81 (312-317cm), is slightly higher than the guideline for groundwater and 

freshwater/marine surface water criteria.

John’s Pass Sediment Cores

Petroleum Hydrocarbon Characterization
225

Sediment cores were collected in anticipation of future John’s Pass dredging operations. A

total of 15 cores were collected by Dr. Ping Wang (University of South Florida) from a shoal 

area outside of John’s Pass in October 2008 (Figure 1). One-half of each sediment core was 

retained by USF for grain size and sediment analyses, and the other half was transported to 

AOML in Miami, Florida for petroleum hydrocarbon characterization.

No visual evidence of petroleum hydrocarbons was observed in any of the 15 sediment 

cores collected. A total of 14 subsamples were collected for GC/FID C8-C40 petroleum

hydrocarbon analyses. The core horizons sampled for these analyses are indicated by a red circle 

within each photo (Figures 2-15).

Two of the 14 subsamples exhibited relatively low levels of total petroleum hydrocarbons, but were above detection limits using the C8-C40 concentration method (Tables 1-14). 

The sampling horizon in sediment cores JP-7 and JP-9 exhibited total petroleum hydrocarbon 

concentrations of 25.4 mg/Kg and 12.5 mg/Kg respectively.

Chromatograms corresponding to the results in Tables 1-14 are also shown for each 

subsample. The chromatograms of JP-7 and JP-9 indicate concentrations in addition to the 

calibration peaks, which indicate above-detection levels for petroleum hydrocarbons.

Figure 16 shows the instrument calibration for the GC/MS. GC/MS speciation analyses 

were conducted on the two subsample extracts from sediment cores JP-7 and JP-9 in order to 

determine which individual hydrocarbons were present (Tables 15 and 16). Volatile and semivolatile hydrocarbons present in sediment core JP-7 were methyl-tert-butyl-ether (1.76 μg/Kg), 

m&p-xylene (1.56 μg/Kg), 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene (1.28 μg/Kg), 4-chlorotoulene (0.99 μg/Kg), 

1,2,4-trimethylbenzene (1.37 μg/Kg), n-butylbenzene (1.46 μg/Kg), and n-propylbenzene 

(2.13 μg/Kg). The non-volatile hydrocarbons present were phenanthrene (1.02 μg/Kg), 

fluoranthene (2.13 μg/Kg), benzo(b)fluoranthene (9.47 μg/Kg), benzo(a)pyrene (17.5 μg/Kg), 

benzo(ghi)perylene (7.29 μg/Kg), pyrene (1.99 μg/Kg), indeno(1,2,3-cd)pyrene (5.91 μg/Kg),

and dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (7.11 μg/Kg). This sample also contained 75.6 μg/Kg C16-C21

aromatics and 25,400 μg/Kg C16-C35 aliphatics.

Sediment core JP-9 was found to contain 2.74 μg/Kg methyl-tert-butyl-ether and 

12,500 μg/Kg of C16-C35 aliphatics. About half of the individual petroleum hydrocarbons found 

in the two positive samples were found in a Bouchard 155 reference sample collected after an oil 

spill which contaminated the areas within and outside John’s Pass in 1993 (Table 17). No clear 

discrimination of the source of the low concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons was evident, 

but they may, in part, be residual from the 1993 oil spill.

The fuel fluorescence detector (FFD) was passed along the length of each sediment core 

to examine if concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons were within the detection limits of the 

instrument. The two subsamples which contained petroleum hydrocarbons were below detection 

levels of the FFD probe (100 ppm or mg/Kg). Although peaks of fluorescence are evident in 

each graph of the FFD data (Figures 17-30), no peaks reached fluorescence levels above 

background.
226

In summary, two of the 14 collected cores exhibited low, but above-detection levels of 

petroleum hydrocarbons. In addition, speciation analyses of these samples revealed the presence 

of particular hydrocarbons which exhibited some affinity to the Bouchard 155 spill sample. 

According to NOAA and FDEP informal sediment quality guidelines, the levels found in this 

study are below levels considered hazardous in sediment.
