		According to Eaton this failure is compounded by the lack of evidence of PCBs in the Kalamazoo River in the vicinity of Eaton's Battle Creek facility.
		Instead, for evidence of PCBs in the Kalamazoo River from Battle Creek to the Morrow Dam, Plaintiff relies on a 1971 MDNR study, the 1976 Wuycheck study, a 1988 MDNR study, and a 1999 MDEQ study.
		The information gathered from the River sediments, water, and fish is of primary relevance to the issue of allocation because it bears on such issues as quantity and frequency of PCB releases from the facility.

		To return the river and surrounding area to its original configuration, WESTON worked with USACE to develop a plan to restore pre-existing stream corridor meanders and connections between existing wetlands and floodplains.
		Portage Creek had to be diverted to excavate both sides of the creek and the creek bottom while protecting downstream water from PCB migration.
		WESTON used GPS to locate and document sampling locations along 50 x 50-foot sampling grids, and to restore the stream to its original location once remediation was complete.
