Download or read book Developing Sediments Quality Standards: Comprehensive Sediment Management in Puget Sound written by C. C. Kruegar and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High concentrations of potentially harmful toxic chemicals have been identified in the sediments of a number of urban-industrial bays in Puget Sound. In these areas, field studies have documented an increased frequency of fish disease, sediment toxicity, altered benthic communities, and significant bioaccumulation of harmful chemicals in the edible tissue of fish and shellfish. In response to this information, and a growing public concern about the health of the estuary, the Washington State Department of Ecology has established a comprehensive strategy for sediment management in Puget Sound. As a component of this strategy, the agency is now in the process of developing a suite of sediment management standards for use in a variety of regulatory programs. General sediment quality standards are now available in draft form. Once finalized and officially adopted, the standards will be used to identify and designate sediments that have adverse effects on biological resources or pose a health risk to humans. It is anticipated that the general sediment quality standards will also be used as a basis for limiting industrial and municipal discharges, thereby preventing future sediment contamination. Separate, but related, sediment management standards are also being developed for use in establishing cleanup goals for sediment remediation and in making environmentally safe decisions concerning the disposal of contaminated dredged material. The Department of Ecology will be using the apparent effects threshold approach, supplemented by the equilibrium partitioning approach, as the technical basis for the derivation of the sediment standards.

Book Synopsis Sediment Toxicity Assessment by : G.Allen Burton
Download or read book Sediment Toxicity Assessment written by G.Allen Burton and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sediment Toxicity Assessment provides the latest information regarding how to evaluate sediment contamination and its effects on aquatic ecosystems. It presents an integrated ecosystem approach by detailing effective assessment methods, considerations, and effects to each major component of marine and freshwater systems, including the benthos, plankton, and fish communities. The approaches emphasize defining habitat conditions (physical and chemical), toxicant bioavailability, factors influencing toxicity (lab and field), biomarkers, acute and chronic toxicity, study design, collection methods, and EPA management strategies. The book also explains how to integrate the assessments. Sediment Toxicity Assessment will be useful to to all environmental managers, environmental scientists, ecotoxicologists, environmental regulators, aquatic ecologists, environmental contractors and consultants, instructors, students, conservation commissions, and environmental activist organizations.

Book Synopsis Development of Sediment Quality Values for Puget Sound by : TETRA TECH INC BELLEVUE WA.
Download or read book Development of Sediment Quality Values for Puget Sound written by TETRA TECH INC BELLEVUE WA. and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent studies have indicated that sediment contamination may be linked to adverse impacts in marine biota, and that consumption of marine organisms exposed to contaminated sediments may pose risks to human health. The goals of the sediment quality values study were to evaluate options for sediment management and to identify numerical values for concentrations of chemicals in sediments that appear to be associated with adverse biological effects in Puget Sound. It should also be noted that the sediment quality values presented in the report have been developed using Puget Sound data only. The attached report contains an evaluation of approaches and ranges of chemical values that can be applied in sediment management, but does not identify the specific values that the agencies should adopt for regulation or how these numerical values should be modified for application in specific regulatory programs. It is anticipated that the agencies involved in PSDDA will adopt sediment quality values for use in regulating the disposal of dredged material. PSEP anticipates using quality values as a tool in classifying and prioritizing areas for source control and remedial action, and in establishing discharge limits that can more effectively protect the quality of marine sediment.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is a compendium of scientifically valid and accepted methods that can be used to assess sediment quality and predict ecological impacts...the intent here is to provide the most useful overall measures or predictors of ecological impacts currently in use rather than procedures that may have limited application outside of a particular regulatory framework... parag The information provided in the compendium on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the different assessment methods can provide assistance in selecting the appropriate methods.
