Document Description
The Lead Agency (the United States Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA]) determined that there was a risk to ecological receptors from the contaminated sediments in Mormon Slough. As described in the "Record of Decision, McCormick and Baxter Superfund Site, Stockton, California" dated March 31, 1999, the USEPA evaluated various remedial alternatives to address the contaminated sediments in Old Mormon Slough. Capping with clean sand was selected as the most effective remedy. Clean sand will be used to construct an underwater cap over the contaminated sediments as the Old Mormon Slough. This sediment cap will isolate the contaminated sediments from both aquatic benthic organisms and the overlying water column, minimizing further contact between the contaminated sediments and these organisms.
