	Fox River Facts
		The river and bay bottom sediments are badly contaminated with thousands of pounds of toxic chemicals called PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), which continue to flow downstream and spread throughout Green Bay and Lake Michigan.
		The State of Wisconsin and local governments have had 30 years to address the problem, without success, so we have welcomed the federal push for action, and the tens of millions the EPA has provided for local research and the $4 million in clean-up planning funds provided by the federal government.
		In an active, eroding river system it would be only a matter of time before the capping material (of sand or rock) wore away, especially in major storms and flooding.

	SMIG -- PCB Transport Modeling in the Fox River (article: Sept. 1998)
		The report "A Deterministic PCB Transport Model for the Lower Fox River between Lake Winnebago and DePere, Wisconsin" (Steuer and others, 1995) indicates that contaminated bottom sediments are the primary source of PCBs to the water column (figure 2).
		The Lower Fox River study was an examination of factors that control PCB transport and fate (see the "Simulated PCB Transport" box).
		From the Lower Fox River Study, significant factors affecting PCB transport appeared to be: the concentration and composition of suspended particulate matter (controlled by settling and resuspension velocities), the initial concentration of PCB in bed sediments, and the river flow.
