This project (ER-2427) is supported by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program.  The objectives of the proposed research are to 1) evaluate the effectiveness of in situ remediation technologies (including single amendment active caps, multiple amendment active caps, and passive caps) subjected to continued low concentration metal influx as a result of recontamination (of metals) from uncontrolled sources and 2) improve our understanding of the relationships among surface sediment recontamination, remediated contaminated sediments, and biological receptors.
