Grand Calumet River Area of Concern Metabarcoding Data
October 7, 2024
The Grand Calumet River flows through northwestern Indiana and was designated an EPA Area of Concern (AOC) in 1987. There are multiple legacy pollutants in the river including but not limited to heavy metals and PCBs. To investigate potential causes and patterns of eutrophication in the river, water samples were collected for 16S rRNA microbial and eukaryotic 18S rRNA amplicon sequencing during April - September 2021. This data release describes the resulting sequencing data.

Eutrophication has been regularly documented in the Grand Calumet River and Indiana Harbor Canal in northwest Indiana. The area has undergone various remediation efforts since the development of a Remedial Action Plan for the area in response to a 1987 amendment to the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement of 1978 between the United States and Canada and the designation of the Grand...
