FY1999 Great Lakes Projects
Battle Island Sediment Assessment
| Battle Island Sediment Assessment (GL975043-01-0: $118,000) |
| Recipient: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation |
| Project Period: 10/1/99 to 4/30/01 |
| Project Officer: Kathleen O’Connor |
The objective of this project is to collect data which will further delineate the spatial and temporal extent of sediment contamination in the vicinity of Battle Island, which is located just upstream of the Oswego River Area of Concern. Battle Island was chosen as the study area based on the results of a previous GLNPO-funded project. Information resulting from this study will be useful for estimating the volume or bed-load of contaminants of concern. In addition, biological monitoring results from this study will determine if the sediment deposits near the Battle Island site are a source of contaminants to the Oswego River system, which is an Area of Concern.
