Arctic Nearshore Impact Monitoring in the Development Area (ANIMIDA)

Updated 2001-02-19

1. Sediment study for heavy metals and selected organic contaminants. 2. Analysis of benthic organisms for heavy metals and selected organic contaminants. 3. Study of suspended sediment distribution, composition and sources. 4. Determination of partitioning of heavy metals between dissolved and particulate phases.

This is not a National Implementation Plan (NIP) project
Comments and additional information:

Study area focuses on Northstar and Liberty Development Projects near Prudhoe Bay in the coastal Beaufort Sea.
