These comments present the forest products industry perspective on the National Research Council (NRC) report "Contaminated Marine Sediments in Ports and Waterways: Cleanup Strategies and Technologies" (March 1997). Most of the contaminated sediment sites associated with the forest products industry are located in nonnavigational waters, making the primary objective risk reduction. Several questions are raised on reducing risk and remedial actions, and suggestions are made on how the NRC report could be extended to address these issues.
