It is common to use the results of various solid-phase and aqueous-fraction toxicity tests as part of the decision-making
process for selecting disposal options for dredged sediments. The mere presence of toxicity, however, does not provide a logical
basis for selecting economical, environmentally protective disposal techniques. To achieve this, it is necessary to be able
to identify specific compounds responsible for sediment toxicity. Toxicity identification evaluation (TIE) procedures, originally
developed for complex effluents, represent a useful approach for identifying acutely toxic compounds in dredged materials.
Herein we present a conceptual overview for TIE use in part of the decision-making framework for selecting dredged material
disposal options; included are discussions concerning appropriate test fractions and species for TIE analyses, and specific
TIE manipulations useful for ascertaining whether toxicity is due to any of a number of common sediment contaminants including
ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, metals, or nonpolar organics. 相似文献

Risk Management of Sediment Stress: A Framework for Sediment Risk Management Research 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Research related to the ecological risk management of sediment stress in watersheds is placed under a common conceptual framework in order to help promote the timely advance of decision support methods for aquatic resource managers and watershed-level planning. The proposed risk management research program relies heavily on model development and verification, and should be applied under an adaptive management approach. The framework is centered on using best management practices (BMPs), including eco-restoration. It is designed to encourage the development of numerical representations of the performance of these management options, the integration of this information into sediment transport simulation models that account for uncertainty in both input and output, and would use strategic environmental monitoring to guide sediment-related risk management decisions for mixed land use watersheds. The goal of this project was to provide a sound scientific framework based on recent state of the practice in sediment-related risk assessment and management for research and regulatory activities. As a result, shortcomings in the extant data and measurement and modeling tools were identified that can help determine future research direction. The compilation of information is beneficial to the coordination of related work being conducted within and across entities responsible for managing watershed-scale risks to aquatic ecosystems. 相似文献
