"In the Great Lakes Basin there are 42 degraded areas called ‘Areas of Concern' where there are significant environmental problems referred to as impaired beneficial uses. In each case there is a multi-stakeholder process in place to develop and implement a Remedial Action Plan (RAP) to restore uses. All 42 Areas of Concern have contaminated sediment based on the application of chemical guidelines. In addition, there is a consensus among government, industry, non-governmental organizations, and RAP groups that contaminated sediment is a major cause of environmental problems, as well as a key factor in restoring 11 of the 14 beneficial use impairments identified in the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement"--Abstract. gccst Sediments gccst Water pollution Canada.
