Contaminated Sediments Sample Clauses

Contaminated Sediments. Contaminated sediments are a major impediment to delisting Waukegan Harbor as a Great Lakes AOC and may directly impact the following beneficial use impairments: restrictions on dredging, restrictions on fish and wildlife consumption, and degradation of benthos. However, there is an immediate opportunity for U.S. EPA, Illinois EPA, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and local stakeholders to cooperate on a sediment remediation project in Waukegan Harbor. The Great Lakes Legacy Act and/or the Water Resources Development Act provide the potential opportunity to bring significant amount of federal funds to assist in remediation of Waukegan Harbor. However, to make use of these funding sources in a timely manner (Great Lakes Legacy Act funding is authorize only through FY2008) will require tight coordination between the state, federal, and local agencies on technical, policy, permitting, and funding issues. Some of these issues include: Schedule: In order to maintain a schedule that will allow for remedial implementation in FY2006 tight coordination between the agencies is required.

Funding: Sediment remediation under the Great Lakes Legacy Act will require a non-federal cost share of 35 percent. The City of Waukegan has expressed some interest in providing a portion of this funding, but given the estimated $15M-$20M price tag of sediment remediation additional funds may be required. U.S. EPA's Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) has committed $135,000 in funding to support additional sampling and analysis in the harbor, and an evaluation of disposal and treatment options for the sediments. An additional $500,000 may be needed from GLNPO and the state to complete evaluation and design work at the site. Policy/Permitting: Several policy and permitting decisions will be required at the state and local levels prior to remedy impleme...
