Group 1 = Lowest level of contaminants.
Group 2 = Moderate levels of contamination; children, pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, and nursing mothers should not eat Group 2 fish; all others should limit their consumption of these fish to one meal per week.
Group 3 = High levels of contamination; no one should eat Group 3 fish.
(3) possible dioxin formation during remediation by the high temperature extraction process proposed for removing PCBs from the most contaminated sediments and soils, (4) the lack of incentives to more efficiently dispose of the wastes in the future, (5) the off-site transportation of wastes, and (6) Slip 2 (nature of concern unknown).
