Results of Phase I

• Technical Memorandum
• Restoration Alternatives Development and
  Evaluation
• West Branch Grand Calumet River
• January 2002

Whats Next

• Do we Proceed with Phase 2?
• Do we do all proposed sampling or reduce number?
• Are all parameters identified?
• Should we do additional Toxicity Sampling?
• Do we obtain New Aerial Photos to develop
  topographic base maps or can we use some flown in
  1994 or 1995?
