Ecological benefits of contaminated sediment remediation in the Great Lakes basin / prepared by: Michael A. Zarull, John H. Hartig and Lisa Maynard, Sediment Priority Action Committee, Great Lakes Water... : En13-5/99-237E-PDF
"In most Areas of Concern, the documentation of the sediment problem has not been quantitatively coupled to the ecological beneficial use impairments. Therefore, stipulating how much needs to be cleaned up, why, and what improvements can be expected to the beneficial use impairment(s) over time has not been possible. A clear understanding of these relationships and some level of quantification is critical for the development of a complete sediment management strategy. This understanding should provide adequate justification for an active cleanup program, and also represents a principle consideration in the adoption of non-intervention alternative strategies. In developing this understanding, it is important not only to know the existing degree of ecological impairment associated with sediment contaminants, but also the circumstances under which those relationships and impacts might change (i.e., contaminants become more available or more detrimental)"--Abstract.
