BLIOCILRY The acute toxicity of rC-1015 to the daphnid, Daphnis magn&, is described in this final report. The test was conducted for 3H Company for 48 hours from April 16 to 18, 1996, at T.R. wilbury Laboratories, Inc. in Marblehead, Massachusetts. It was conducted by Jacqueline Novium, Jeanne Hagazu, Kovo,-i Stevens, Peter Kowalski, Robert Boori, and Timothy Wa-rd according to the procedures of the U.S. Envircrmental- Protection Agency (1993). FC-1015 was supplied by the sponsor. The test was performed under static conditions with five concentrations of test substance and a dilution water control at a temperature of 20.2 to 21.0*C. -,hedilution water was filtered deionized water co',Iected at Marblehead, Massachusetts aid ad)ua*,edto a hardness of 176 z@g/L as CACO,.

They were prc>duced at T.R. Wilbur-y Laboratories and acclimated under test conditions for their entire life (cultures that produced test specimens were maintained at test conditions for more than 7 days).

The objective of the study was to determine the 24 and 48 hour LC50s and EC50a of the test substance to the daphnid, Dephnia msgna, a freshwater invertebrate, under static conditions. The study was conducted following U.S. EPA (TSCA) guidelines but at the Sponsor's request it was not conducted according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) r-ules. The report contains sections that describe the methods a-ndmaterials employed in the study, and results of the investigation. The report also contains an appendix that presents water quality data collected during the test. Vi. XETRODS AND XXTERIALS TEST SUISSTA.NCE: The sample of FC-1015 (T.R. Wilbur-y Lal-oratories Sample Number 604) was delivered to T.R. Wilbur-y Laboratories on April 4, 1996. The sample was delivered in a metal can within a cardboard box at ambient temperature. -he test substance was contained in I 250-ml plastic bottle. The label attached to the bottle contained the following informat@ont -rc1015, (:.R P.624), See MSDS, Susan A. Beach, 2-3E-09, (612) 778-7452, 4/2,'48-.
