|
Are electronic maps available that include the AOC's geographic boundaries
and associated sources of pollution?
|
Yes

Restriction on Fish & Wildlife Consumption
|
|
Levels of contaminants such as PCBs and mercury in fish tissue shall be less
than MDPH and OMNR/MOEE action levels.
|
|
|
Fish Tumor or Other Deformities
|
|
Liver and oral/dermal tumor incidence rates shall be no greater than rates at
unimpacted control sites. Survey data shall confirm the absence of neoplastic
or preneoplastic liver tumors.
|
|
|
Degradation of Benthos
|
|
Establish and maintain benthic communities such that populations are diverse
and appropriate for the physical characteristics of the area and include
pollution tolerant organisms.
|
|
|
Restrictions on Dredging Activities
|
|
Concentrations of pollutants in sediments shall be below levels that restrict
dredging activities.
|
|
|
Restrictions on Drinking Water Consumption, or Taste & Odour
|
|
There shall be no taste or odour problems.
|
|
|
Beach Closings
|
|
All areas of the AOC shall be safe for total body contact activities. Bacteria
levels shall meet MOEE/MDEQ criteria. There shall be no beach closings in the
AOC or impacted areas in Lake Erie due to AOC contamination.
|
|
|
Degradation of Aesthetics
|
|
Elimination of discharges from CSOs and spills from point sources and nonpoint
sources (into any media) such that debris and persistent objectionable deposits
are not found in the river or along the shoreline. There shall be no visible
oil sheens on the river from any discharge.
|
|
|
Loss of Fish and Wildlife Habitat
|
|
Wetlands shall be maintained at zero loss in the AOC, and no net loss of the
productive capacity of fish habitats.
