Management Option 1: Monitored Natural RecoveryDescription: No removal or capping ofsediment. Biota monitored regularly forPCB residues.Advantage: Existing condition of thewetlands and species diversity, includingsignificant species, is maintained.Disadvantage: PCB residues bioaccumulateas before; some impacts on local wildlifespecies.Anticipated Impact: Low
Management Option 2: Enhanced Natural RecoveryDescription: Natural sediments added toexisting surface materials to augmentnatural recovery.Advantage: Contaminated materials burieddeeper limiting exposure to biota.Disadvantage: Changes to available openwater will affect composition of wetlandcommunities.Anticipated Impact: Low to Medium
