Abstract and Poster for SHC BOSC Review December 2016
Description:
The main objective of this research effort is to provide stakeholders with biological, chemical, and physical tools, indicators and approaches to more effectively assess and manage contaminated sites, under the Great Lakes Legacy Act (GLLA), Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI), and other EPA programs. ORD with its partners at the Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO), Superfund (SF), Regions (2,4, 5 and 10), States (OH, MI, IN, NY and WA), and other federal agencies, such as USGS, USFWS, NOAA, has provided critical information and generalizable best practices derived from demonstration projects at multiple sites: 5 Areas of Concern (AOCs) and 2 Superfund. The methods and tools being developed are used for: (1) identifying and tracking contaminant sources to sediments, (2) assessing risk management and remediation strategies at contaminated sediment sites by project managers, and (3) delisting of Beneficial Use Impairments (BUIs).
