Abstract: | Habitat valuation (here as: hab-val.) methods were put into action to support remedial decisions for aquatic and terrestrial contaminated sites at the East Tennessee Technology Park (ETTP) on the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Oak Ridge Reservation in Oak Ridge, TN, USA. Six contaminated sites were included in the hab-val. Current and potential future, no-action scenarios were evaluated primarily using existing information. There was significant variation in hab. value among the six sites, among measures for different taxa at a single site, btw. measures of use and rarity at a single site, and among measures for particular taxa at a single site as to different spatial scales. Most sites had aspects of low, medium, and high hab. value etc. |
