Kalamazoo River, Michigan
(This section includes Stage of RAP development, Beneficial Use Impairments and
their delisting targets, and information on whether the AOC has been accurately mapped.)
| Stage of RAP Development: |
2 |
|
Are electronic maps available that include the AOC's geographic boundaries
and associated sources of pollution?
|
No |
Beneficial Use Impairments (BUI):
(The BUI will appear underlined if a delisting target has
been determined.
If underlined, click on the BUI to display the delisting target.)

|
Restrictions on Fish and Wildlife Consumption
|
|
Reduce PCB availability to the biota within the watershed so that humans and wildlife can have unrestricted consumption without health effects. Protect human health related to PCB contamination. Protect human health related to PCB contamination and mercury contamination in fish by reducing exposure through educational efforts |
|
|
Degraded Fish and Wildlife Populations
|
|
Remediate contaminated sediments, restore habitat for fish and wildlife, and control nonpoint source pollution to meet fish and wildlife management goals in the Kalamazoo River watershed.
Reduce populations of undesirable exotic species and prevent introductions of new ones into the Kalamazoo River to restore and protect desirable native species |
|
|
Bird or Animal Deformities or Reproductive Problems
|
|
Remediate contaminated sediments so that there are no reproductive or other negative health effects on wildlife or benthos |
|
|
Degradation of Benthos
|
|
Reduce erosion and nonpoint source pollution to the river and its tributaries so that sedimentation is not impacting benthis life. Reduce nutrient input to prevent euthrophication of impoundments within the watershed |
|
|
Restrictions on Dredging Activities
|
|
Reduce levels of PCBs in sediments to eliminate restrictions on disposal of dredged material |
|
|
Beach Closings
|
|
Remediate contaminated sediments so that there are no restrictions on body contact with the river. Continue regulatory and nonregulatory pollution prevention, and spill prevention/control activites so that pollutants that could cause concern for body contact do not enter the river in storm water. Proper manure management. Proper septic system siting and management |
|
|
Degradation of Aesthetics
|
|
Continue regulatory and nonregulatory pollution prevention, land use, and spill prevention/control activities so that pollutants within the watershed that could cause degradation of aesthetics will not enter the ecosystem |
|
|
Loss of Fish and Wildlife Habitat
|
|
Remediate contaminated sediments, restore habitat for fish and wildlife, and control nonpoint source pollution to meet fish and wildlife habitat management goals in the Kalamazoo River watershed |
|
|
|
|
|
CONTAMINATED SEDIMENT
|
Estimated remaining volume of contaminated sediment within the AOC:
|
13,387,719 cu. yds. (350,000 lbs. of PCBs) |
