Studies of the sediment deposits and transport within the Milwaukee River system from 1993 to 2003 identified significant deposits of PCBs within the Estabrook Impoundment. Based on the studies, WDNR determined 3 priority areas for addressing the sediments within the impoundment. The priority areas are listed below.

• Blatz Pavilion
• Lincoln Park/Milwaukee River Channels (Phase I)
• Lincoln Park/Milwaukee River Channels (Phase II)

The Blatz Pavilion clean up was completed in 2008. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Milwaukee County have been working with US EPA´s Great Lakes National Program Office Legacy Act Program to move forward with design and remediation work in the Lincoln Park Phase I area (in blue). The phase II area (green) is currently under study by the Legacy Act program.
