Sediment Ecosystem Assessment Protocol (SEAP): An Accurate and Integrated Weight-of-Evidence Based System

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to develop an efficient, accurate and integrated approach for the assessment of ecosystem risk and recovery at sites where contaminated sediments exist, or previously existed. The work addressed the two high priority needs identified in SERDP ERSON-07-01: (1) Develop and evaluate rapid measurement tools/ screening assays to efficiently assess the ecological risk and recovery at contaminated sites for relevant receptors, particularly for assessing natural recovery; and, (2) Assess the ecological impacts to benthic communities of remedial technologies currently in use at contaminated sediment sites.
