- hexachlorobenzene (HCB)
- octachlorostyrene (OCS)
- polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
- chlordane – a pesticide

The report forms part of the Lake Superior Lakewide Management Plan (LaMP), which is part of the Binational Program to Restore and Protect the Lake Superior Basin. A binational action plan to meet the pollutant reduction targets in the report will be the next step in LaMP’s process.
