This book was released on 1999 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Trustees have conducted an assessment of injuries to fishery resources of the Lower Fox River/Green Bay environment that results from releases of PCBs from Fox River paper company facilities. The injury assessment included determination of PCB transport pathways from paper company facilities to fishery resources of the river and bay, injury determination, and injury quantification. The injury assessment was conducted consistent with the Department's NRDA regulations at 43 CFR Part 11, and included assessment of injuries associated with state fish consumption advisories because of PCBs, exceedences of the Food and Drug Administration's PCB tolerance level, and adverse effects on fish viability.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes injuries to fishery resources resulting from the accumulation of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in fish tissue and the subsequent issuance of fish consumption advisories in the Lower Fox River/Green Bay/northern Lake Michigan system. The objective of this report is to determine and quantify these injuries and provide relevant background information. This report was prepared as part of the Lower Fox River/Green Bay Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) pursuant to the approaches outlined in the NRDA assessment plan at 61 FR 43558. The purpose of this report is to present a detailed examination of the injuries to fishery resources associated with fish consumption advisories and exceedences of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)tolerances for PCBs. This report does not present data and information related to the releases of PCBs, transport/exposure pathways, or biological/toxicological effects; that information will be presented in other NRDA injury assessment reports.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The compelling true story of a hard-fought environmental win, set in motion by a tenacious government scientist and an unrelenting journalist—resulting in the polluting companies paying for the $1 billion, 20-year cleanup. Booklist raves, Paper Valley "is a compelling human-interest tale on par with Erin Brockovich and Jonathan Harr'sA Civil Action." A 2024 selection by the Sierra Club, Wisconsin Chapter Book Club Winner, Midwest Book Award! When government scientist David Allen arrived at his new jobsite in the 1990s, the Fox River near Wisconsin's Green Bay was dominated by hulking paper mills, noxious industrial odors, and widespread ecological damage. Confronted by his lack of resources to force the politically powerful "Paper Valley" polluters to fix their mess, Allen proceeds against all bureaucratic odds in building a $1 billion case against the paper company bosses. Two small but vital players, Allen along with journalist Susan Campbell were relentless in bringing the case to the public at the time. They do so again in this book: an act of radical transparency to uncover the intrigue that nearly blocked the cleanup behind the scenes at US Fish and Wildlife, Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. In a rare and major environmental win, the Fox River became the site of the largest polychlorinated biphenyls cleanup in history, paid for by the paper companies rather than taxpayers, to the tune of $1.3 billion, and completed in 2020. This true story of struggle, perseverance, and success inspires hope for environmentalists who strive to restore natural landscapes. The detailed account given in this book is meant to inspire and offer practical knowledge and solutions for those fighting similar opponents of environmental cleanup and restoration. Allen and Campbell eloquently outline the problematic bureaucracy involved in environmental cleanup efforts and reveal tactics to compel corporate entities who would dodge accountability for decades worth of contamination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) provisions enacted under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA) and the Oil Pollution Act (OPA) empower natural resource trustees to seek compensation for environmental injury resulting from the release of oil or hazardous substances. Under NRDA regulations promulgated under CERCLA, fish avoidance behavior is recognized as an accepted injury, and may be used to support damage claims. In support of an ongoing damage assessment, tests were conducted to determine if avoidance of ambient metals concentrations may contribute to reductions in local salmonid populations. In laboratory tests, rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and brown trout (Salmo trutta) avoided mixtures of metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) at concentrations that occur in impacted river reaches at a contaminated site (Clark Fork River, MT). Avoidance of metal contamination may contribute to population reductions and preclude restoration of instream populations by prohibiting movement of fish into contaminated areas of the river from uncontaminated tributaries. Laboratory avoidance tests were performed at two testing facilities. The similar avoidance responses observed at the two laboratories demonstrated the reproducibility of avoidance measures.
