OVERVIEW

The Center for Coastal and Land Margin Research (CCALMR) at the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology proposes an investigation to provide the Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) with essential information about chemical processes that affect the risks posed by contaminants in the sediments of the Columbia Slough. The work products will help improve the quality of the water, sediments, and habitats in the slough by allowing a more thorough and efficient identification of risks to humans and the ecosystem. The results of this project also will help BES make better and more cost-effective decisions about clean-up strategies for contaminated sediments.
