the executive summary of the historical 1988 Upper Great Lakes Connecting
Channels Study (UGLCCS). Initiated in late 1983 by the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the UGLCC Study was conceived to integrate
scientific information and data on the Upper Connecting Channels and to develop
recommendations for binational efforts to restore the Detroit, St. Mary, and St.
Clair Rivers. UGLCCS was a unique cooperative under- taking to
advance overall understanding of environmental conditions and identify and
assess the major pollution sources. The UGLCC Study pioneered the use of
the mass balance concept (pollutant input/output) for planning and design of a
large scale environmental study of toxic substances.
