Conceptual Site Model [January 2019]: The Conceptual Site Model (CSM) is a representation of the physical, chemical, and biological processes that determine the transport of chemicals within the Newark Bay Study Area. The CSM is derived from site data and knowledge gained from other contaminated sediment sites, and addresses the full Newark Bay Remedial Investigation dataset (Phases I through III). The CSM is a valuable tool for testing assumptions about the environmental system in Newark Bay and evaluating the potential effectiveness of cleanup alternatives.
