After each cycle, the sediment was remixed with DDI water, shaken for 24 hr, and then processed as previously described. Three replicates were taken through four leach cycles in anaerobic sediment testing. For aerobic sediment, five replicates were taken through a single leach cycle. Interstitial water extraction 16. Interstitial water samples for metal and organic contaminant analy­ sia were obtained by centrifugation of the New Bedford sediment. To obtain samples for metals from anaerobic New Bedford sediment, triplicate 250-ml polycarbonate centrifuge tubes fitted with a leakproof, airtight top ware loaded with sediment in a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere. The tubes were then centrifuged at 13,000 x g for 30 min, and the supernatant was fil­ tered under a nitrogen atmosphere through a 0.45-µm pore size membrane
