The scientists at Pacific EcoRisk are knowledgeable and experienced in the performance of the entire spectrum of aquatic testing, including acute and chronic toxicity tests, and have performed literally thousands of aquatic toxicity tests using freshwater, estuarine and marine species. This testing has been performed in support of client NPDES permits, ambient monitoring programs, development of water quality criteria/objectives, TMDLs, ecological...
Discharges to aquatic systems are regulated though the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Program. Toxicity testing has become and integral component of most NPDES permit compliance requirements. Through the performance of the entire suite of U.S. EPA and ASTM standardized test guidelines, Pacific EcoRisk assists a wide variety of public and private sector clients meet these compliance requirements.
Sediments and their associated benthic organisms are critically important in maintaining the overall health and productivity of aquatic ecosystems. For a number of reasons, sediments are often the primary sink for contaminants. As a result, sediments can be the most sensitive and ecologically important component of aquatic systems, and assessment of sediment toxicity and bioaccumulation has become increasingly important.
The dredging and disposal of sediments in U.S. waterways is essential to the maintenance of ongoing maritime operations. Based on the high quality of our project management, sampling and sample handling, and testing and reporting services, Pacific EcoRisk is regularly selected to provide dredge materials evaluations for a variety of major ports, large and small marinas, as well as being selected to provide evaluation services for U. S. ACOE dredging...
TIEs have become an integral forensic method for determining causes of toxicity. The success of TIEs in identifying the causes of toxicity that may be present in effluents, ambient waters and sediments is a direct function of the technical expertise of the scientists regarding the fate and effects of potential contaminants. Our staff are very experienced in the performance of both acute and chronic Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III TIEs and have...
