Clean-Up of Boston Harbor
Geochemist Mike Bothner has been appointed to an Interagency Advisory
Committee (IAAC), a subcommittee to the Outfall Monitoring Science Advisory
Panel for Boston Harbor and Massachusetts Bay. The panel and subcommittee
were recently formed to advise EPA and the Massachusetts Department of
Environmental Protection on the monitoring associated with the Boston Harbor
clean-up project.
The purpose of the subcommittee will be to provide regulatory
and scientific perspectives from the various state and federal agencies
concerning the harbor clean-up project. When the new outfall in Massachusetts
Bay becomes operational in mid-1999, this scientific group will also provide
advice if any potential NPDES permit and contingency-plan thresholds are
observed and exceeded.
