Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 100 years, the Coeur d' Alene River Basin has been known as "The Silver Valley" for being one of the most productive silver, lead, and zinc mining areas in the United States. Over time, high levels of metals (including lead, arsenic, cadmium, and zinc) were discovered in the local environment and elevated blood lead levels were found in children in communities near the metal-refining and smelter complex. In 1983, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed a 21-square mile mining area in northern Idaho as a Superfund site. EPA extended those boundaries in 1998 to include areas throughout the 1500-square mile area Coeur d'Alene River Basin project area. Under Superfund, EPA has developed a plan to clean up the contaminated area that will cost an estimated $359 million over 3 decades-and this effort is only the first step in the cleanup process. Superfund and Mining Megasites: Lessons from Coeur d'Alene River Basin evaluates the issues and concerns that have been raised regarding EPA's decisions about cleaning up the area. The scientific and technical practices used by EPA to make decisions about human health risks at the Coeur d'Alene River Basin Superfund site are generally sound; however, there are substantial concerns regarding environmental protection decisions, particularly dealing with the effectiveness of long-term plans.
Download or read book Contaminants and Ecological Subsidies written by Johanna M. Kraus and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-10-15 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the effects of aquatic contaminants on ecological subsidies and food web exposure at the boundary of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. It provides the first synthesis of the findings and principles governing the “dark side” of contaminant effects on ecological subsidies. Furthermore, the volume provides extensive coverage of the tools being developed to help managers and researchers better understand the implications of contaminants movement and their effects on natural resources and ecosystem processes. Aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are linked through movements of energy and nutrients which subsidize recipient food webs. As a result, contaminants that concentrate in aquatic systems because of the effects of gravity on water and organic matter have the potential to impact both aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem processes. Within the last decade, increased attention has been paid to this phenomenon, particularly the effects of aquatic contaminants on resource and contaminant export to terrestrial consumers, and the potential implications for management. This volume, curated and edited by three field leaders, incorporates empirical results, management applications and theoretical synthesis and is a key reference for academics, government researchers and consultants.

Download or read book Connectivity Conservation written by Kevin R. Crooks and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-11-02 with total page 675 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the biggest threats to the survival of many plant and animal species is the destruction or fragmentation of their natural habitats. The conservation of landscape connections, where animals, plants, and ecological processes can move freely from one habitat to another, is therefore an essential part of any new conservation or environmental protection plan. In practice, however, maintaining, creating, and protecting connectivity in our increasingly dissected world is a daunting challenge. This fascinating volume provides a synthesis on the current status and literature of connectivity conservation research and implementation. It shows the challenges involved in applying existing knowledge to real-world examples and highlights areas in need of further study. Containing contributions from leading scientists and practitioners, this topical and thought-provoking volume will be essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and practitioners working in conservation biology and natural resource management.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kootenai River supports some of the Pacific Northwest's most important cultural and recreational fishery resources. Lotic fishes have been substantially influenced by alteration to the course and function of large rivers throughout the world. Like many large river systems, the Kootenai River has been degraded by extensive water development and land use activities that have disrupted its function and integrity. As such, managers have attempted to rehabilitate degraded lotic habitats to support a variety of fish assemblages. The Kootenai River is one such large river where managers are improving habitat conditions for native fishes. I investigated spatial variation in fish assemblage structure and the influence of habitat on fish assemblages and species-specific occurrence and relative abundance within the context of an ongoing habitat rehabilitation project. In addition, I evaluated the sampling effort required to estimate various levels of species richness to guide future monitoring efforts of fishes in the Kootenai River. Fishes were collected throughout the braided reach of the Kootenai River during the summers of 2012 and 2013 to evaluate patterns in fish assemblage and population structure among rehabilitation and reference sites. In general, I found that fish assemblage structure varied among sites and that native fishes had high spatial association with one another. I identified several environmental variables associated with the occurrence and relative abundance of native species and evaluated the effect of those variables. My research also provided insight on sampling effort requirements to achieve target levels of species richness that will help fishery scientists be efficient during monitoring efforts. My results provide guidance and valuable information on the spatial occurrence of fishes in the Kootenai River and on habitat use patterns that can be used to design future rehabilitation projects to benefit native species. In addition, my evaluation of sampling effort requirements will help managers to develop realistic sampling objectives and optimize protocols for evaluating the effects of habitat rehabilitation on fish assemblages in the Kootenai River.
