Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Biological Monitoring and Abatement Program (Bmap) Plan

Oak Ridge Y-12 Plant Biological Monitoring and Abatement Program Plan

“…However, the monitoring also detected a gradual recovery of the fish communities in EFPC, beginning with the most downstream sites and slowly progressing through time to sites closer to the Y-12 Plant. The degree of impact and the pattern of recovery are supported by changes in species richness, species abundance, and species composition (see Adams et al 1998). In the vicinity of the Y-12…”

“…Details of field sampling and analysis are given in Adams et al (1998). All field sampling is conducted according to specific quality control and standard operating procedures (Ryon 2000).…”

“…All field sampling is conducted according to specific quality control and standard operating procedures (Ryon 2000). The resulting data will be used to estimate population size (numbers and biomass per unit area), determine community structure, estimate production, and calculate Index of Biotic Integrity (IBI) values as per Adams et al (1998).…”

“…Moreover, statements about the condition of the fish community are easily understood by the general public. (Adams et al 1998). The sampling was conducted at one reference site and five EFPC sites, following the sample plan.…”
