FY1999 Great Lakes Projects
Assessment of Contaminated Sediments
| Assessment of Contaminated Sediments in Muskegon Lake, Michigan (GL005897-01-0: $107,540) |
| Recipient: Grand Valley State University |
| Project Period: 10/01/99 to 9/30/01 |
| Project Officer: Marc Tuchman (312-886-0239) |
This project will provide an assessment of the nature, extent, and ecological significance of sediment contamination in Muskegon Lake. The investigative sampling will primarily focus on regions of known sediment contamination in near shore areas and in deeper deposition zones. This project will also provide information on the fate and transport of contaminated sediments in drowned river mouth systems. Information on the distribution and significance of contaminated sediments will play an important role in the restoration process of the lake.
