This document reports the results of preliminary investigations of contaminant mobility at the Times Beach confined disposal site in Buffalo, New York. A terrestrial earthworm (Eisenia foetida) bioassay procedure was applied in the field and in a laboratory controlled-environment chamber 7 years after terminating the diposal of dredged material. Native earthworms were collected from Times Beach and a nearby reference area, and native fishes were collected from the lake within Times Beach and from the mouth of the Buffalo River. Worm and fish tissues and the dredged material used in laboratory bioassays and in the field studies were analyzed for heavy metals, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), hexachlorobenzene (HCB), and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Although fishes and soil invertebrates at Times Beach are contaminated, it is unlikely that there would be any substantial adverse impact upon migratory species temporarily feeding in the area, as the overall size of Times Beach is very small. Frequent consumption of fishes caught within the site is not recommended, however. Keywords: Fishes; Food chain; Habitats; HCB; Mercury; PCBs; Arsenic; Cadmium; Copper; Bioassay.

State of the art chemical analysis techniques were used for characterizing the contamination of dredged material, animal tissue, and water samples. This report provides tabular summaries of all analytical work carried out to date, including concentrations of heavy metals and PCA and PCB in selected contaminated sediments and earthworm populations grown in the contaminated sediments. Sediment sources include Times Beach and adjacent Buffalo River, Bridgeport FVP, and Ottawa, Ill.

Download Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
Bioremediation is a process applied to restore contaminated sites using biological tools. The success or failure of this process usually depends on an understanding of the biotechnological process as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the ecotoxicological tools used for its evaluation. This useful book offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking soil ecotoxicity tests, bioremediation and environmental risk assessment. It also, describes the inter-relationships between the laboratory and field ecotoxicologist, the biotechnology consultant and different international environmental regulatory agencies and explains how they seek to achieve a successful evaluation of contaminated site restoration.
