SRP Makes Available Guidance For Sediment Quality Evaluations

By: Nancy Hamill
Division of Publicly Funded Site Remediation
Bureau of Environmental Evaluation and Risk Assessment

The Bureau of Environmental Evaluation and Risk Assessment, Environmental Toxicology and Risk Assessment Unit (BEERA/ETRA), is pleased to announce the November 1998 publication of Guidance for Sediment Quality Evaluations. This document updates and expands previous SRP guidance, giving clearer and more detailed direction on the “triad” approach to evaluating sediment quality: chemical analyses, toxicity and bioavailability measurements, and assessment of resident benthic communities. Use of this guidance will facilitate performance of the Baseline Ecological Evaluation and Ecological Risk Assessments, required pursuant to N.J.A.C. 7:26E-3.11 and 4.7, respectively.

Copies of the document are available for $5.00 from:
