Eighteenmile Creek Area of Concern - Phase I Habitat Restoration

This video depcits the complete Phase I Habiat Restoration of the Eighteenmile Creek Area of Concern (AOC), located in Newfane, New York. A section of Eighteenmile Creek was designated as an Area of Concern (AOC) by the International Joint Commission because of an existing fish consumption advisory, benthic population decline, a degradation of fish and wildlife populations, prevalence of bird and animal deformities or reproductive problems and restrictions on dredging. Over the years, numerous contaminants have been identified in creek sediments which have a detrimental effect to the AOC and Lake Ontario. These contaminants include but are not limited to; Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs); Mercury; Dioxins and Furans; Dieldrin; Mirex; DDT; Lead; and Copper. Sediments contaminated with these substances have directly contributed to the impairments just mentioned.
