Request for Proposals
Support for the Lake Michigan
Mass Balance Study Needed
(Closed 7/15/96)
The Great Lakes National Program Office (GLNPO) of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.EPA) is issuing a
Request for
Proposals (RFP) for a project to support of the
Lake Michigan Mass
Balance Study (LMMB) of the Enhanced Monitoring Program (EMP). The
main goals of the study are listed in the RFP and are being pursued
to provide information to environmental managers concerned with the
reduciton of toxic contaminants in Lake Michigan. The data collected
during the LMMB data collection phase will support a mass balance
model of approximately the same level of complexity as that used for
the Green Bay/Fox River Mass Balance Study.
The RFP is requesting the use of LMMB atmospheric data for PCBs,
transnonachlor, mercury and atrazine to calculate atmospheric
loadings for input into the atmospheric portion of the model and for
validation purposes. Specifications for funding, and application
directions are included in the RFP.
