Abstract
The suitability of a variety of biochemical, microbiological and bioassay tests to become part of a battery of test procedures to identify degraded or degrading sediments and waterbodies are evaluated in this report. Data were obtained from 40 river (Detroit and Niagara) and inshore Lake Erie sampling sites. These data indicate that the top six areas of highest concern were: (1) mouth of the Rouge R., (2) mouth of Little R., (3) mouth of Two Mile Creek at Tonawanda, N.Y., (4) offshore Port Burwell, (5) mouth of Turkey Creek, and (6) Detroit R. offshore of the Grosse Ile WTPKeywords
