Toxicity and Bioavailability of Metals in the Missouri River adjacent to a Lead Refinery
Entry ID:
cerc_toxbiomoriver
Summary
Abstract:
This study is an evaluation of the potential environmental impacts of
contaminated groundwater from the ASARCO metals refining facility adjacent to the Missouri River in Omaha, Nebraska. Surface waters, sediments, and sediment pore waters were collected from the Burt-Izard drain, which transects the facility, and from the Missouri River adjacent to the facility. Groundwater was also collected ...

Sediment was taken from one site within the Burt-Izard Drain (which is an open
ditch or creek crossing the ASARCO property at its northern end) and one at its confluence with the river. Two sites were sampled just downstream of the ASARCO property. In addition, two reference sediment samples were taken, one upstream of the ASARCO facility, and one on the opposite bank. Originally, additional sites along the waterfront of the facility had also been selected for sediment sampling. High water conditions prior to the sampling date had scoured nearly all of the sediment from this outside-bend of the river.
