"Background: The Alligator Rivers Region Technical Committee (ARRTC) is an independent scientific advisory panel with the primary aim of ensuring that the quality of the science used in the research into, and assessment of, the protection of the environment from the impact of uranium mining in the Alligator Rivers Region, Northern Territory, Australia, is of an appropriately high standard. At its 10th meeting (September 2002), ARRTC requested information on the future of the ecotoxicology laboratory and associated resource implications for the Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist (eriss) (ARRTC 2002). Although eriss has committed to maintaining the ecotoxicology laboratory for pre-release toxicity testing of retention pond waters (ARRTC 2002), other ecotoxicological research on uranium (U) and magnesium (Mg) in relation to Ranger uranium mine (Ranger) is thought to be in its later stages."--P. 1
"A review of the status and future strategic directions of the Environmental Research Institute of the Supervising Scientist (eriss) Ecotoxicology Program was undertaken between September 2003 and March 2004. The review encompassed all aspects of the uranium mining and nonuranium mining activities of the Ecotoxicology Program and considered both research and commercial opportunities."--P. vi
