8.6 Animal Bioaccumulation Management Actions

2. Management actions should be considered. A decision to implement

management actions for animal bioaccumulation by interrupting complete

exposure routes to ROC populations outside the CDF may require more

detailed information prior to design of such actions.

8.6 Animal Bioaccumulation Management Actions

When there is concern about the potential for effects related to animal

bioaccumulation, management actions related to the design, operation, and

management of the CDF may be considered. In general, anything that interrupts a

complete exposure route to ROC populations outside the CDF may act as an

effective control of animal bioaccumulation. Therefore, the evaluation that

identifies complete exposure routes will often also provide ideas for management

actions that interrupt them. Additional information on management actions and

references for detailed guidance on such actions are found in Chapter 10 of this

manual.
