Abstract

This new report surveys the current status of integrating the watershed approach and the ecological risk assessment framework, and evaluates the potential for improving this integration under current federal regulations governing aquatic ecosystem protection. The report also evaluates examples of state program experience in implementing watershed-scale risk-based management. Included in this document are an analysis of existing programs and tools, a summary of state experience, and a review of watershed-scale ecological risk assessment case studies. Published by WERF. 236 pages. Soft cover.
