| Description | Wetlands adjacent to the B&L Landfill were investigated to evaluate the impacts of arsenic contaminated groundwater discharge. Surface waters exceeded the arsenic ambient water quality standards. Soil arsenic levels were slightly higher at study locations and porewater arsenic concentrations were highest closest to the landfill. Samples of plant roots sequestered significant quantities of arsenic, but translocated little to shoots or biotransformed. Microtox bioassays found statistically significant depression of relative light output throughout the study area relative to controls. A weight of evidence evaluation concluded that overall wetland health was poor to moderate. | ||||
