INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Group Proposes Ecosystem Objectives for Lake Erie
Ecosystem objectives were proposed for inclusion in the Lake Erie Lakewide
Management Plan (LaMP) at the meeting of the Lake Erie LaMP Technical Work
-^ Group in Dunkirk, New York on December 6th and 7th, 2001. The process for
developing the objectives has been protracted because it included the development
and running of a "fuzzy cognitive map" model to evaluate alternative, stable
ecosystem conditions that could exist for Lake Erie. The LaMP Work Group
selected a "preferred alternative," and objectives were developed in support of that
alternative. The proposed objectives and sub-objectives are oriented toward
management interventions needed, particularly in the areas of creating or restoring natural
landscapes in the Lake Erie watersheds and nutrient loading reductions. (Paul Bertram, 312-353-
0153, bertram.paul(a),epa.gov; Dan O 'Riordan, 312- 312-886-7981, oriordan.damel(a),epa.gov)
Lake Erie Scientists Discuss Disturbing Lake Erie Trend
Scientists currently active in studying the Lake Erie basin met in
Chicago, Illinois, on December 13th, 2001 to present information
on the lake and its processes. The meeting was hosted by
USEPA's Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO).
Monitoring data from the GLNPO open lake monitoring program
and from the Canadian government (Murray Charlton) indicate a
trend in the 1990's and beyond of increasing total phosphorus, and
decreasing dissolved oxygen in Lake Erie's central basin. These
changes raise concern about the state of the Lake Erie ecosystem
within the Great Lakes community and USEPA. Approximately twenty researchers and USEPA
scientists attended the meeting, and exchanged information on their research, as well as on the
current state of Lake Erie. GLNPO will follow this meeting with support of research and
monitoring relevant to phosphorus and dissolved oxygen issues, including additional time
available on the Great Lakes National Program Office's 180-foot research vessel, the R/VLake
Guardian, to support this research. GLNPO has issued a request for proposals (RFP) to support
additional research into the mechanisms behind this disturbing trend. The RFP can be viewed at:

Global Atmospheric Transport of Mercury Pollution Assessed
On December 13th and 14th, 2001, the North American Commission for
Environmental Cooperation (CEC), the International Air Quality Advisory
Board of the International Joint Commission (IJC), and Environment
Canada sponsored a workshop on atmospheric mercury held in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina. Approximately 60 representatives from
Canada, Mexico and the United States participated in the meeting. The purpose of the workshop
was to review current developments in source and ambient monitoring and mercury transport and
deposition and their implications for policy development. Some of the key mercury issues
identified and discussed at the workshop includes dry deposition, the storage and transfer of
mercury in watersheds, global and natural sources of mercury, the impact of climate change on
•Great Lakes National Program Office Significant Activities Report

mercury fate and cycling in the environment, mercury depletion at polar sunrise, and the adequacy
of mercury transport and deposition models. A record of discussions and findings along with the
presentation materials is being prepared by the IJC and CEC. (ToddNettesheim, 312-353-9153,

Task Force Charts North American Regional Action Plan for Toxics
In conjunction with the international workshop on
atmospheric transport of mercury (see previous article), a
Task Force for development of the North American
• Regional Action Plan (NARAP) on Environmental
^^^gt I Monitoring and Assessment met in Research Triangle
^H Park, North Carolina on December 12th, 2001.
Representatives from Environment Canada, USEPA, Mexico's Institute Nacional de Ecologia,
NOAA, the North American Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), and the
International Joint Commission (IJC), discussed progress in drafting and implementing the
NARAP. Leads from the USEPA's Persistent Bioaccumulative Toxics (PBT) Program participated
to ensure that the two efforts complemented each other.
The group stressed that expectations of the monitoring group by the CEC's substance-specific task
forces are high and may not be reasonable given current resource levels. This led to a discussion
on how to increase awareness of CEC's function and goals at higher levels in government,
including Congress and heads of environmental agencies. Such outreach will be pursued by CEC
staff. The Environmental Monitoring and Assessment's NARAP should be treated and promoted as
a structure through which long-term accountability to such agreements as the U.S.-Canada Great
Lakes Binational Toxics Strategy and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)
Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Treaty can be tracked. Also discussed was the importance of
capacity building with regards to developing capabilities for the analysis of POPs and mercury in
Mexico rather than shipping samples from monitoring sites in Mexico back to the U.S. or Canada.
The Mexican representatives were enthusiastic about developing such a capacity. This would
require an exchange of experts and reciprocal laboratory visits among the three countries.
Short-term actions for implementation of the Environmental Monitoring and Assessment NARAP
include:
1. Compiling baseline information on POPs and mercury already available in the U.S. and
Canada, and possibly collecting a small amount of initial data points to supplement
available information for Mexico;
2. Extending the Mercury Deposition Network (wet deposition) into Mexico; and
3. Extending the USEPA's National Dioxin Monitoring Network into Mexico. GLNPO's
future role will be to suggest how monitoring like that used in the U.S.-Canada Integrated
Atmospheric Deposition Network could be implemented in Mexico at one or two sites,
which could also involve capacity building with regards to POPs measurement.
It was noted that CEC has the lead for submitting information on POPs in North America to UNEP
for a global assessment on the status of persistent toxic substances. (Melissa Hulling, 312-886-

Indicators of Biological Integrity Sought
Approximately 40 invited experts gathered along with State of the Lakes
Ecosystem Conference (SOLEC) organizers in Windsor, Ontario, on
December 4th and 5th, 2001, to evaluate Great Lakes indicators for
biological integrity. Separate working sessions were held for open and
nearshore waters, coastal wetlands, and nearshore terrestrial
environments. Case study papers were prepared prior to the workshop
emphasizing the impacts on non-native, invasive species, and they included
some suggestions for relevant indicators. The workshop participants debated appropriate
indicators to be proposed, and they reviewed and integrated the new suggestions with existing
SOLEC indicators. A summary of the workshop and its products is being prepared by the contract
staff who facilitated the sessions. More information about SOLEC and the U.S. - Canada effort to
develop a system of environmental indicators is available at: http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/solec/.

Areas of Concern On-Line Updated
G r&out: L ouke& ^ an e^ort to clean UP me most polluted areas in the Great Lakes, the
Areas of Concern United States and Canada, in Annex 2 of the Great Lakes Water Quality
Agreement, committed to cooperate with State and Provincial
Governments to ensure that Remedial Action Plans (RAPs) are developed and implemented for all
designated Areas of Concern (AOCs) in the Great Lakes basin.
Forty-three AOCs have been identified: 26 located entirely within the United States; 12 located
wholly within Canada; and five that are shared by both countries. RAPs are being developed for
each of these AOCs to address impairments to any one of 14 beneficial uses (e.g., restrictions on
fish and wildlife consumption, dredging activities, or drinking water consumption) associated with
these areas. Updated information on the AOCs and RAPs is now available online for each of the
31 Great Lakes Areas of Concern that are located within the United States or shared with Canada

SEDIMENTS
Chequamegon Bay Pollution Probed
On December 6th, 2001 Scott Cieniawski from the USEPA's Great Lakes
National Program Office attended a public meeting to discuss the progress
of cleanup and Superfund listing for the Ashland/Northern States Power
j Lakefront Site in Ashland, Wisconsin. The meeting was facilitated by the
I Ashland/Bayfield County League of Women Voters and the Sigurd Olson
j Environmental Institute. Representatives from the City of Ashland, the
Wisconsin Department of Public Health, the Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources, USEPA, Northern States Power, and concerned
citizens attended the meeting. The meeting provided a comprehensive
update on the site that was proposed for addition to the Superfund National
Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites due to a number of
hazardous chemicals and volatile organic compounds that have
contaminated soils and ground water and migrated to Chequamegon Bay.
Sediments in the bay are heavily contaminated with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).
As part of a GLNPO grant, Chris Marwood of Miami University provided a critical review of two
conflicting ecological risk assessments for the sediment portion of the site and concluded that the
site presented "likely impacts to the benthic community." Results of additional sediment sampling,
and a final decision on NPL listing are anticipated in early 2002. (Scott Cieniawski,
312-353-9184, Cieniawski.scott(a),epa.gov)
Sediment Contamination in Manistee Lake, Michigan Assessed
A grant was awarded in 1998 to Grand Valley State
University, and a report titled "Preliminary Investigation of
the Extent of Sediment Contamination in Manistee Lake" was
produced as a final deliverable for this grant. The report
outlines the preliminary extent of contamination in Manistee
Lake, taking into account the triad approach with integrated
assessments of chemistry, toxicity, and benthic
macroinvertebrates. Sediment oil contamination and the
detection of elevated levels of polynuclear aromatic
hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds indicated extensive
hydrocarbon pollution in the lake. Additionally, an influx of
contaminated groundwater and brines was evident by the presence of chemical stratification in the
lower hypolimnion. The report was published by GLNPO in October 2001 and assigned report
number EPA-905-R-01-004. For a copy of the report, please contact Lawrence Brail at 312-
886-7474 or brail.lawrence@epa.gov. (Demaree Collier, 312-886-0214,

ECOSYSTEM PROTECTION AND RESTORATION
Grand Calumet Area of Concern Biodiversity Education Project Wraps Up
The Grand Calumet Area of Concern (AOC) is in the heavily industrialized area of Northwest
Indiana. It has endured decades of environmental abuse, yet still contains some of the best
remaining examples of the dune-and-swale ecosystem in the Great Lakes basin. GLNPO funded the
•Great Lakes National Program Office Significant Activities Report
-------
Grand Calumet Task Force for an environmental education project. This project helped educate
local government officials, school children, and the public about the meaning and value of
biodiversity in this AOC. A number of education and outreach activities were undertaken: the Gary
Region Environmental Action Team (GREAT), an environmental club comprised of students of all
ages throughout the Gary public school system, was sponsored as a model for testing various
environmental education programs; native vegetation was planted by a Gary middle school in a
small degraded dune-and-swale on the school's property; a group of high school seniors from the
Gifted and Talented Program were guided through the trails of the Ivanhoe Nature Preserve in
Gary; a mural of a local high school art teacher's drawing of river wildlife was painted on the side
of a park building facing the river; semi-monthly work days were organized at Clark and Pine East
Nature Preserve in Gary; a winter bird identification workshop was held at Gibson Woods Nature
Preserve in Gary; and 77 presentations were given on the biodiversity of the region. A
presentation was given at the first meeting of the East Chicago open-space planning project, which
was initiated in partnership with Chicago's Open Lands Project. A similar project is being started
in Hammond. These open-space projects will be the focus of additional education efforts over the
next year, along with discussions with the City of Gary regarding protecting critical
dune-and-swale habitat. (Duane Heaton, 312-886-6399, heaton.duane(a),epa.gov)
Landscaping With Native Plants Featured
USEPA Great Lakes National Program Office's Natural Landscaping
expert, Danielle Green participated in planning and attended the
"Landscaping with Native Plants Symposium: Professional Designs
for Sustainable Development" at the Chicago Botanical Garden in
Chicago, Illinois. The November 7th, 2001 symposium challenged
professional designers to create beautiful landscapes while working
with nature (and native plants) to control stormwater and pollutant
runoff. Speakers included John Rogner of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, who addressed how using native plants in landscapes helps
Chicago Wilderness fulfill its biodiversity goal, and representatives
from landscape design firms, corporations, and native plant nurseries.
This project is part of the Metropolitan Natural Landscaping
Initiative (MNLI) funded by Chicago Wilderness. Other parts of the
MNLI initiative include a lecture at the Nature Museum targeting home owners, and a workshop by
the Northeastern Illinois Planning Commission, scheduled for June 2002, which will target local
governments. (Danielle Green 312-886-7594, green.danielle@epa.gov)
Livestock Impacts on Streams Curtailed
Under a grant from USEPA's Great Lakes National Program Office
to the Penn Soil Resource Conservation and Development
Charitable Trust, approximately 70 acres of riparian corridors
were re-established and protected from livestock along nine
streams and tributaries in the Pennsylvania part of the Lake Erie
basin. Program activities included seeding and planting indigenous
grasses and trees, fencing, establishing stream crossings and
developing water supplies in pastures away from the streams. The
cost of the project was $687 per acre. In-kind services by landowners included time and

equipment for the preparation and installation of best management practices. Newsletters and
media capitalized on the restorations and published articles regarding the riparian buffer activities.
Several of the landowners are part of the Environmental Quality Incentive Program. (Karen
Rodriguez, 312-353-2690, rodriguez.karen(q),epa.gov)
INVASIVE SPECIES
Panel Addresses Great Lakes Aquatic Nuisance Species
On November 29th and 30th, 2001, the Great Lakes Panel on
Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) held its biannual meeting
in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Agenda items addressed by the
Panel included: an update on Non-Indigenous Species Act
(NISA) reauthorization; coordination of Regional ANS
Panels; and a report from the Michigan Department of
Environmental Quality on the status of their ballast water
treatment technology project scheduled for 2002. USEPA
GLNPO's Marc Tuchman gave a presentation to the Panel
summarizing the findings of USEPA's draft ballast water
report. Significant discussion was generated on a new project being undertaken by the Panel: the
development of a rapid response plan for aquatic invasions. It is believed that such a plan, once
adopted and implemented, could make it feasible to address and potentially eradicate a newly
discovered aquatic invader while it is still relatively confined. This project is the result of a grant
from GLNPO to the Great Lakes Commission and will be undertaken with Panel support. The
tentative plan is to conduct a workshop this Spring to discuss what such a rapid response plan
should entail and who should be involved in its development, with the development of the final
plan scheduled for the Summer of 2003. (Marc Tuchman, 312-353-1369,

Midwest Resource Managers Tackle Invasive Species
A special session on "Aquatic Invasive Species versus Native Species" was held as part of the
Environmental Round Table meeting on November 7th to 9th, 2001 in Delevan, Wisconsin. The
Environmental Round Table is an annual forum for senior managers of the Midwest Natural
Resources Group and their staffs to discuss natural resource and environmental issues of mutual
interest. The session focused on the issues associated with the transfer of invasive species
between the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi River basins. Over 100 federal agency staff and
managers heard GLNPO's Karen Rodriguez and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Pam Thiel
address the invasive species issues in the Great Lakes and Mississippi River basins, respectively.
Based upon a request from the City of Chicago to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the group
brainstormed on how the Midwest Natural Resources Group could work with the City and other
local groups to stop the inter-basin transfer of this biological pollution via the Chicago Sanitary
and Ship Canal, which connects to the DesPlaines River, the Illinois River and eventually, the
Mississippi River. GLNPO has the lead to work with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the City
of Chicago and other entities. (John Perrecone, 312/353-1149, perrecone.john(a),epa.gov)

ENVIRONMENTAL INDICATORS
Progress on Estuarine and Great Lakes Indicators
USEPA's Office of Research and Development (ORD) has funded projects on all of the U.S.
coasts, including the Great Lakes, to develop indicators that will be used to assess coastal
ecosystem and watershed function, integrity, and water and habitat quality and change. This
research has been funded by ORD's Science To Achieve Results (STAR) program. GLNPO's John
Schneider attended the first annual meeting of all Estuarine and Great Lakes Indicators (EaGLe)
funding recipients on December 3rd to 5th, 2001 in Morehead City, North Carolina. The particular
focus of the meeting was the sharing of common methodologies and the integration of approaches
for all coastal areas. Some of the awardees presented preliminary results from data collected
during the Summer 2001 field season. The Great Lakes project is making excellent progress and
has been integrated, since its inception, with the State of the Lakes Ecosystem Conference
(SOLEC) proposed indicators, the Great Lakes Coastal Wetland Consortium monitoring plan
development, and the monitoring program of the Great Lakes National Program Office. (John
Schneider, 312-886-0880, Schneider.john(q),epa.gov)
Exploring Indicators for Forest Ecosystems
USEPA's Great Lakes National Program Office hosted
the U.S. Forest Service on December 12th, 2001 to
discuss the utility of the Forest Inventory and Analysis
(FIA) as a potential source of terrestrial indicators for
the assessment of forest ecosystems in the Great Lakes
basin. The FIA data may be useful for the addition of
forest indicators to the State of the Lakes Ecosystem
Conference (SOLEC) list. The U.S. Forest Service and
GLNPO's Paul Bertram will be collaborating on this
potential "new" source of data that could help describe
the condition of the Great Lakes basin. (Paul Bertram,

OUTREACH
Golden Treasure: Lake Michigan Sand Dunes
The dunes on Lake Michigan's eastern coast are the largest assemblage of freshwater dunes in the
world. To increase public knowledge of the value of the dunes, with funding from USEPA's Great
Lakes National Program Office, the Lake Michigan Federation created a comprehensive sand dune
education packet, including fact sheets, web resources, dune ecology brochure, and a "tools
booklet" including case studies for use by local coastal governments interested in increasing
protection for dune ecosystems. The Federation worked with a Muskegon, Michigan area school
district and shoreline schools in West Michigan to create a classroom unit to teach sand dune
ecology and stewardship. A spiral-bound daily journal was printed, which included some of the
180 pieces of student artwork and poetry about sand dunes. Seventeen artworks were framed for a
traveling exhibit, with 200 people attending the exhibit's opening reception at the Muskegon
Museum of Art, before it moved on for display in nine shoreline communities. The traveling
exhibit also created front-page stories in many of these shoreline communities. State legislators
from West Michigan held a reception for the students, and recognized the individual artists for

their contributions on the floor of the House and Senate. The Federation also contracted with a
college theater group to develop and perform a skit related to sand dune protection. (Duane
Heaton, 312-886-6399, heaton.diiane(a),epa.gov)
Here are three examples of poetry from the students' daily journal:
I walked up the dunes.
The branches of the beech trees blew in the blustery
breeze.
The wind whispered as I walked through the soft sand.
Birds talked to their friends in the distant trees of the
forest.
I walked even further.
The snow crunched under my shoes.
A squirrel crossed the path
And ran up the brambly tree bark.
I walked towards the lake.
The unwrought wind whipped by face.
I looked back at the camel humps of sand in the
distance
Remembering the peaceful sounds I had passed.
The waves crashed up on the beach like cymbals in a
band
Bringing small stones and sand to the shore.
- Katie, Grade 10
The dunes are so wonderful like a beautiful dove.
Dunes calm us like newborn kittens.
The sand is smooth like a soft puppy.
The wind is calm like a sleeping bear.
Grass grows like a beautiful flower.
People swim in the water like nice fish.
I like to climb the dunes because it reminds me of
finding treasures.
We sometimes get suntans like a black bear.
The sun gets us hot like bread that just got out of
the toaster.
Air is just as fresh as fresh water.
Sometimes we find clam shells when we dive
into the water.
The breeze is nice and cool like ice cream.
- Quayshaun and Samantha, Grade 3

The dune is made of sand and plants,
With creatures such as little ants.
Mounds of dune grass and sand,
Where the sun made the sand tanned.
The dunes here are o' so pretty,
Even when you just go for sitting,
I love the dunes,
AND SO SHOULD YOU!

GRANTS
GLNPO Solicits Proposals for Grants
On December 20th, 2001, GLNPO announced its Funding Guidance for projects to be awarded
from Fiscal Year 2002 funding. The " FY2001-2002 USEPA Great Lakes National Program Office
Request for Proposals/Funding Guidance " (Funding Guidance) requests that Proposals be
developed in the areas of:
Contaminated Sediments,
• Pollution Prevention and Reduction (Great Lakes Binational Toxics Strategy),
• Ecological (Habitat) Protection and Restoration,
Invasive Species,
Habitat Indicator Development, and
• Strategic or Emerging Issues.
A total of $2.9 million is targeted for awards in the Summer and Fall of 2002. The deadline for
Proposals is February 15, 2002. Funding categories are similar to those in previous years,
although some funding targets have been reduced so that GLNPO could fund an initiative
addressing unexplained changes in Lake Erie (see related story above). Specific amounts have
again been targeted for projects supporting the Lakewide Management Plans.
Proposals will once again be submitted electronically. The Request for Proposals (RFP) is
available on the Internet at http://www.epa.gov/glnpo/fund/2002guid. To publicize the RFP, more
than 1,500 postcards were mailed, an announcement was made to the GLIN-Announce and
NACD listservs, and notice was published in the Federal Register. Information describing the
Funding Guidance, its history, 2001 results, and changes is also available on the Web Site. (Mike
