FY1999 Great Lakes Projects
Sediment Assessment of Fond du Lac Reservation Lakes - FY99
| Sediment Assessment of Fond du Lac Reservation Lakes (GL97504801-01-0: $45,000) |
| Recipient: Fond du Lac Reservation Business Committee |
| Project Period: 10/01/99 to 9/30/01 |
| Project Officer: Scott Cieniawski (312-353-9184) |
This grant will support the collection of sediment samples in nine (9) designated fisheries lakes on the Fond du Lac Reservation. These lakes are part of the watershed for the St. Louis Area of Concern, and the sediment assessment will provide valuable information regarding the levels of sediment contamination in these lakes. Sediment samples will be analyzed for mercury, PCBs, and lead. Additionally, biological toxicity tests will be performed on a subset (four to six) of the study lakes.
