Abstract: The Palos Verdes Shelf Superfund site (PV Shelf) is a large sediment deposit off the coast of the Palos Verdes Peninsula, Los Angeles County, California, that contains approximately 110 tons of DDT and 10 tons of PCBs. The contaminants are in sediment too deep for direct human contact; however, fish in the PV Shelf area bioaccumulate the contaminants, exposing people and wildlife who consume fish to these hazardous substances. EPA has no recent data on seafood consumption by fishermen in the PV Shelf area, generally defined as the area north of PV Shelf to Santa Monica Pier (in Santa Monica Bay) to south of PV Shelf to Seal Beach Pier (in San Pedro Basin). The goals and objectives of this survey are to provide current data on seafood consumption by PV Shelf anglers that can be used in EPA's Internal Controls program and future risk assessments.
