An Ecological Assessment of Metal Contaminated Sediments in the Upper Clark Fork River
Entry ID: BRD_CLARKFORK

[ Update this Record ]

Summary
Abstract: A comprehensive field and laboratory approach to the ecological risk assessment
for the Milltown Reservoir-Clark Fork River Sediments site, a Superfund site in
the Rocky Mountains of Montana, was conducted previously. The risk assessment
addressed concerns over the ecological impacts of upstream releases of mining
wastes to fisheries of the upper Clark Fork River and the benthic and
terrestrial ... View entire text
