Samples were collected as part of the Rotating Integrated Basin Studies (RIBS) Program (RIBS QAPP 2017 pg.36-37). Toxicity evaluations are derived from Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-Day Chronic Screening Test for Toxicity of Ambient Water Samples or Effluents and Microtox® Acute Toxicity Test for Sediments, Porewaters and Effluents (RIBS SOP #403-16).
