Plant Bioassay of Materials from the Blue River Dredging Project.

Abstract

A plant bioassay and associated chemical analyses were performed on sediment and bank material from the Blue River and soil from a proposed disposal site. The objectives of the tests were to determine the availability and extent of plant uptake of cadmium and zinc that would occur when the dredged material was placed in an upland environment and seeded to grass. In addition, the results of the tests were used to formulate a disposal plan for the materials. (Author)
