Description:
This document has the following purposes: 1) to discuss the scientific basis for assessing adverse ecological effects at hazardous waste sites (HWSs), and 2) to present methods for evaluating the on-site and off-site ecological effects of HWSs. The methods are intended for implementation in the early phases of the HWS evaluation process and should be used as integral parts of HWS evaluations. This document is intended for use by administrative and scientific personnel with a strong background in the environmental sciences, including laboratory and field procedures, and environmental assessment strategies.
