Region 5 Case Studies
These are Superfund Sites in Region 5 where Ecological Technical Center
ecologists have had a role in developing the ecological risk assessment
study. They may or may not fit directly into the 8-Step
Ecological Risk Assessment Guidance. Please note that the site descriptions,
especially concerning contaminants present at the site, may not represent
the current situation. This is particularly the case if remedial or removal
actions have taken place since the Ecological Risk Assessment (ERA) was
performed. These case-studies are provided to give examples of how these
sites were evaluated for ecological risk.
