| Short description: |
his fact sheet is the third and final in a
series of fact sheets related to ecological revitalization on
Superfund sites. Superfund sites are being cleaned up and
restored while integrating natural features such as wetlands,
meadows, streams, and ponds to provide habitat for terrestrial
and aquatic plants and animals, and for low-impact or passive
recreation, such as hiking and bird watching. The potential
exposure of wildlife can be a concern when waste or contaminants
remain on a site following cleanup (i.e., attractive nuisance),
but it need not prevent the ecological revitalization of that
site. This fact sheet discusses how to identify, assess, and
manage potential attractive nuisance issues during ecological
revitalization of Superfund sites and presents case studies that
illustrate a variety of attractive nuisance issues and how they
were managed
