and negatives where society was concerned; one of the most detrimental aspects was the manner by which man began to spoil the environment around him in exchange for social, political,
economic and technological advancement. Archaeologically speaking, information on hazardous waste facilities in the United States is found in the improper and/or inadequate operation of solid waste facilities. As one
of the countrys "most thoroughly studied natural systems" (FICUS, 1999), the Apalachicola Bay has provided researchers with a great deal of information regarding what occurs when sewage treatment projects are
inadequate at removing bodily waste and toxic chemical product from the environment. Not only does the Apalachicola Bay sustain a broad economic market with its shrimp, fish, crab and
oyster supply, but it is also home to myriad species of plants and wildlife that are also becoming affected by the sewage problem. Inasmuch as the bay is a
major component of the states biodiversity, that aspect is being significantly threatened by the inadequacy of sewage treatment. A significant part of the problem stems from the fact that polluted
water flows directly into the Apalachicola Bay from other sources, rendering the bay defenseless from the start. The Chattahoochee is one such contaminate source that brings with it waters
rife with heavy metals from industrial waste, fecal coliform bacteria from chicken farm waste and a variety of other pollutants. Scientists claim that the muddy sediment on the bottom
of the bay is particularly contaminated from toxic substances that will remain in the soil for many future decades. Current EPA findings indicate that even the most sophisticated of
