Includes bibliographical references. "The placement of contaminated dredged sediments into confined disposal facilities (CDFs) has been practiced on the Canadian Great Lakes since the early 1970s. Depending on the management of these sites, aquatic and terrestrial habitats may develop which support diverse biotic communities. The potential exists for the reentering of contaminants from the confined sediments into plants and wildlife utilizing these habitats. A study was initiated in 1987 to determine if vegetation growing on 12 contaminated CDFs and earthworms in these sediments were bioaccumulating contaminants, and if their contaminant concentrations were hazardous to wildlife"--Abstract.
