Developing a Strategy for PAH-Contaminated Sediments in the St. Louis River Area of Concern Discussion Paper
This discussion paper was prepared through a grant from the Wisconsin Great Lakes Protection Fund to the St. Louis River Citizens Action Committee in 2002. The primary purpose of this grant was to pursue development of a coordinated strategy for the St. Louis River Area of Concern (AOC) by facilitating discussions between the Wisconsin and Minnesota state agencies and other parties concerning the issues of PAH contaminated sediments in the St. Louis River AOC. These discussions resumed the coordination between the states that occurred in the early 1990s, and which resulted in the contaminated strategy that appears in the 1995 Stage 2 Remedial Action Plan for the St. Louis River System Area of Concern. Progress for the St. Louis River AOC requires agencies and stakeholders in both states to address the issues on a consistent basis and to pursue the resources needed to rehabilitate the Area of Concern. Contaminated sediments in the AOC remain as a burden on the river ecosystem and on the economy and quality of life of the area.
