Long-term Evaluation of Plants and Animals Colonizing Contaminated Estuarine Dredged Material Placed in an Upland Environment

摘要

This technical note summarizes data collected between 1983 and 1989 that relate to plant and animal communities colonizing the upland disposal site of the US Army Corps of Engineers/Environmental Protection Agency Field Verification Program (FVP). The management of contaminated dredged material and the mobility of contaminants from the dredged material into plants and animals are also described. This site will be evaluated through September 1995 under the Long-Term Effects of Dredging (LEDO) Program.
