INTRODUCTION
This study was conducted by W ildlife International Ltd. for 3M Corporation at the Wildlife International Ltd. aquatic toxicology facility in Easton, Maryland. The in-life phase o f the test was conducted from July 12,1999 to August 2,1999. Raw data generated by Wildlife International Ltd. and a copy o f the final report are filed under ProjectNumber 454A-109 in archives located on the Wildlife International Ltd. site.
OBJECTIVE
The objective o f this study was to determine the effects o f Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid Potassium Salt (PFOS) on the survival, growth and reproduction o f the cladoceran (Daphnia magna) during a 21-day exposure period under semi static test conditions.
EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN
Daphnids were exposed to a geometric series o f six test concentrations and a negative (dilution water) control. Ten replicate test chambers were maintained in each treatment and control group with one daphnid in each test chamber. Nominal test concentrations were selected in consultation with the Sponsor, and were based upon the results o f an exploratory range finding toxicity test. Nominal test concentrations were 1.4,2.9, 5 .7 ,1 1 ,2 3 and 46 mg a.i./L. Mean measured concentrations were determined from new and corresponding old solutions during each week o fthe test Daphnids were transferred to new solutions every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the test.
First-generation daphnids were observed daily for survival, the onset o f reproduction, and clinical signs o f toxicity. With the onset o f reproduction, the number o f second-generation neonates were counted (number o f live neonates, number o f dead or immobile neonates and number o f aborted eggs) every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the test. If available, twenty second-generation neonates from each treatment and the control were exposed under static test conditions for 48 hours. A t test termination, the length and dry weight of each first-generation daphnid was determined. The no observed-effect-concentration (NOEC) and lowest-observed-effect-concentration (LOEC) were determined by examination o f the mortality, growth and reproduction data. The maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC)was calculated as the geometric mean o f the NOEC and LOEC.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
The study was conducted based on the procedures outlined in the protocol, "PFOS: A Semi-Static Life-Cycle Toxicity Test with the Cladoceran (Daphnia magna)". The protocol was based on procedures outlined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS Number 850.1300 (1); OECD Guideline 211: Daphnia magna Reproduction Test (2); StandardEvaluation Procedure, Daphnia magna Life-Cycle (21-DayRenewal) Chronic Toxicity Test (3); and ASTM Standard E 1193-87, Standard Guidefo r ConductingRenewalLife-Cycle Toxicity Tests with Daphnia magna (4).
Test Substance The test substance was received from 3M Corporation on October 29,1998 and was assigned Wildlife International
Ltd. identification number 4675. The test substance was described as a white powder. It was identified as FC-95 from lot number 217 (T-6295). Information provided by the Sponsor indicated a purity o f 98.9%, and an expiration date o f2008. The test substance was reanalyzed by the Sponsor and the Certificate ofAnalysis dated March 9,2000 indicated a purity of 90.49%. The test substance was stored at ambient room temperature.
Preparation o f Test Concentrations A primary stock solution was prepared by adding the test substance to UV sterilized dilution water at a concentration
o f 46 mg a.i./L. The test solution was stirred with an electric stainless steel top-down mixer until all the test substance was dissolved. The primary stock solution was proportionally diluted with UV sterilized dilution water to prepare the other five test concentrations. New solutions were prepared for each renewal day. After mixing, all test solutions appeared clear and colorless. All reported test concentrations were adjusted for the purity o f the active ingredient in the test substance (90.49%).
Test Organism
The cladoceran, Daphnia magna, was selected as the test species for this study. Daphnids are representative of an
important group o f aquatic invertebrates and were selected for use in the test based upon past history of use and ease of
culturing in the laboratory. Daphnid neonates used in the test were less than 24-hours old and were obtained from cultures
maintained by W ildlife International Ltd., Easton, Maryland.

Adult daphnids were cultured at approximately the same temperature as used during the test in Wildlife TntRmatinnai Ltd. well water. Daphnids in the cultures were held for at least 27 days prior to collection o f the juveniles for testing The adults showed no signs o f disease or stress during the holding period. During the 14-day holding period preceding the test, water temperatures ranged from 20.0 to 20.3C. The pH o f the water ranged from 8.3 to 8.5 and dissolved oxygen ranged from 8.2 to 8.8 mg/L. Instrumentation and methods used for water measurements are described in the Environmental Conditions section of this report.
x/ Neonate daphnids (<24 hours old) were obtained for testing from six individual adult daphnids. At test initiation, the juvenile daphnids were collected from the cultures and placed in glass beakers one to two at a time until each beaker contained 10 daphnids. The beakers were then impartially assigned to treatment groups. One daphnid was then transferred to each test chamber using a wide-bore pipet underneath the air/water interface. Daphnids in the cultures and those used in the test were fed a mixture o f yeast, Cerophyll, and trout chow (YCT, 1800 mg TSS/L), as well as a suspension of the freshwater green alga, Selenastrum capricomutum (3.5 x 107cells/mL). During the test, each test chamberwas fed 0.3 mL of YCT and 0.60 mL of Selenastrum once daily.
Test Apparatus Test chambers were 250-mL plastic (Nalgene) beakers containing approximately200 mL oftest solution. The depth
of test solution in a representative test chamber was approximately 5 cm. Test chambers were randomly positioned by treatment group in an environmental chamber set to maintain a temperature of 20 1C. The water bath was enclosed in a plexiglass hood to minimize the potential for cross-contamination. The test chambers were labelled with the projectnumber, test concentration and replicate.
Dilution Water The water used for culturing and testing was freshwater obtained from a well approximately 40 meters deep located
on the Wildlife International Ltd. site. The well water is characterized as moderately-hard water. The specific conductance, hardness, alkalinity, and pH o f the well water during the four-week period immediately preceding the test are presented in Appendix I.
The well water was passed through a sand filter to remove particles greater than approximately 25 ^m , and pumped into a 37,800-L storage tank where the water was aerated with spray nozzles. Prior to use, the water again was filtered to

0.45 urn and passed through a UV sterilizer to remove microorganisms and fine particles. The results o fperiodic analyses performed to measure the concentrations o f selected contaminants in well water used by Wildlife International Ltd. are presented in Appendix II.
Environmental Conditions Lighting used to illuminate the cultures and test chambers during culturing and testing was provided by fluorescent
tubes that emitted wavelengths similar to natural sunlight (Colortone 50). A photoperiod o f 16 hours o f light and 8 hours o f darkness was controlled with an automatic timer. A 30-minute transition period o f low light intensity was provided when lights went on and off to avoid sudden changes in lighting. Light intensity was measured at test initiation and at weekly intervals thereafter with a SPER Scientific Ltd. light meter. Light intensity ranged from 329 to 383 lux at the surface ofthe water.
Temperature was measured in alternating replicates of each treatment and the control group at test initiation, in old and new test solutions on renewal days, and at test termination using a liquid-in-glass thermometer. Temperature was also measured continuously in one negative control replicate using a Fulscope ER/C Recorder. The target test temperature during the test was 20 1C. Dissolved oxygen was measured daily in alternating replicates during the first seven days of the test, in old and new solutions on renewal days, and at test termination. Measurements of pH were made in alternating replicates at test initiation, in old and new solutions on renewal days and at test termination. Hardness, alkalinity and specific conductance were measured in the negative control and the highest test concentration with surviving daphnids at test initiation and at approximately weekly intervals thereafter.
Measurements o fpH were made using a Fisher Accumet Model 915 pH meter, and dissolved oxygen was measured using a Yellow Springs Instrument Model 5 IB dissolved oxygen meter. Specific conductance was measured using a Yellow Springs Instrument Model 33 Salinity-Conductivity-Temperature meter. Hardness and alkalinity measurements were made by titration based on procedures in Standard Methodsfo r the Examination o f Water and Wastewater (5).
Biological Observations and Measurements The first generation daphnids were observed daily during the test for survival, the onset o f reproduction, and clinical
signs o f toxicity. The criteria for death included white opaque coloration, lack o f movement o f appendages, absence of heartbeat and lack o f response to gentle prodding. Immobilization was defined as lack o f movement except for minor

spontaneous random movement o f the appendages. The presence o f eggs in the brood pouch, aborted eggs, males or ephippia were also recorded.
With the onset of reproduction, the number o f second-generation neonates were counted (number o f live neonates, number o f dead or immobile neonates and number o f aborted eggs) and recorded every Monday, Wednesday and Friday during the test. A t each observation period, the live first-generation daphnids were retained and the second-generation daphnids were discarded. On Day 14, the second-generation neonates were collected and used for the second-generation acute exposure. A t test termination, the length (measured from the apex o f the head to the base o f the spine) and dry weight were determined for each surviving first-generation daphnid. The individual daphnids were removed from the test chambers and placed into tared aluminum drying pans. The length o f each daphnid was determined using a caliper. The pans were then placed in a drying oven at approximately 60C for approximately 43 hours. The pans were removed from the drying oven and placed in a desiccator to cool. When cool, the pans were weighed using a M ettler AE-240 analytical balance.
Statistical Analyses Statistical analyses were performed on survival o f first-generation daphnids, the number o f live young and die length
and dry weight o f the surviving first-generation daphnids. Survival data were analyzed using Fisher's exact test. Reproduction and growth (length and dry weight) data were evaluated for normality and homogeneity o fvariance using the Shapiro-Wilk's test and Bartlett's test, respectively. Dunnett's test was then used to identify treatment groups that were statistically significant in comparison to the negative control (p <. 0.05).
All statistical tests were performed on a personal computer using TOXSTAT Version 3.5 (6) statistical software.
Analytical Chemistry Water samples were collected from new and old solutions each week during the test. Duplicate samples of new
solutions were collected from the freshly prepared solutions. Duplicate samples o f the old solutions were collected from a composite o f the remaining replicate test chambers. Samples were collected in plastic (Nalgene) bottles and were analyzed as soon as possible without storage. Analytical procedures used in the analysis o f the samples are provided in Appendix m.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Verification of Test Concentrations Results o f analyses to measure concentrations o f PFOS in water samples collected during the test are presented in
Table 1 and the analytical chemistry report (Appendix IQ). Nominal concentrations used in the study were 1.4,2.9,5.7,11, 23 and 46 mg a.i./L. Measured values o fnew samples ranged from 94 to 121% o fnominal values, whereas measured values from the old solutions ranged from 90 to 108% o f nominal values. Consequently, PFOS was stable throughoutthe renewal periods. When measured concentrations o f samples collected during each week o f the test were averaged, the mean measured concentrations were 1 .5 ,2 .9 ,5 .6 ,1 2 ,2 4 and 48 mg a.i./L, which represented 107,100,98,109,104 and 104% of nominal, respectively. The results o f the studjy were based on mean measured concentrations.
Physical and Chemical Measurements o f W ater Measurements o f temperature, dissolved oxygen and pH are presented in Tables 2, 3 and 4, respectively. Water
temperature measurements were within the range o f 20 1C established for the test. Dissolved oxygen concentrations remained * 8.3 mg/L (91% o f saturation) throughout the test. Measurements o f pH ranged from 8.1 to 8.5.
Measurements o f specific conductance, hardness and alkalinity in the negative control and the highesttreatment group are presented in Table 5. No apparent differences were observed for any o f these parameters throughout the exposure period.
Survival and Biological Observations A summary o f the results o fthe observations o f mortality and sublethal signs o ftoxicity for first-generation daphnids
are shown in Table 6. Daily observations are provided in Appendix V. After 21 days o f exposure, survival in the negative control group was 100%. Survival in the 1 .5 ,2 .9 ,5 .6 ,1 2 ,2 4 and 48 mg a.i./L treatment groups was 9 0 ,9 0 ,9 0 ,9 0 ,0 and 0%, respectively. A t test termination, all surviving daphnids exposed to PFOS appeared normal. Fisher's exact test showed that survival in the 24 and 48 mg a.i./L treatment groups was statistically different when compared to the negative control {p <; 0.05).

Reproduction A summary of the mean number o f live young produced by the first-generation daphnids is presented in Table 7. A
complete listing o f the number of neonates produced is provided in Appendix V. Daphnids in the control and PFOS treatment groups s 12 mg a.i./L started producing neonates on Day 9. There were no observations o f aborted eggs in any treatment group. Reproduction averaged 122 young per adult in the negative control. Reproduction in the 1.5,2.9,5.6 and 12 mg a.i./L treatment groups averaged 142,136,132 and 119 young per adult, respectively. The Bonferroni t-test showed that reproduction was not significantly reduced in any treatment group s 12 mg a.i./L (p > 0.05). The 24 and 48 mg a.i./L treatment groups were not included in the statistical analysis o f reproduction due to a statistically significant effect on survival.
Growth A summary o f the mean lengths and mean diy weights of the surviving first-generation daphnids are presented in
Table 8. Individual measurements are provided in Appendix VI. The mean length and dry weight o f first-generation daphnids in the negative control was 4.65 mm and 0.695 mg, respectively. The Bonferroni t-test showed that mean length and dry weight in the PFOS treatment groups s 12 mg a.i./L were not significantly reduced in comparison to the negative control {p > 0.05).
Second-Generation Acute Exposure The results of the second-generation acute exposure are presented in Table 9. After 48-hours o fexposure, survival in
the negative control was 95%. Survival in the 1.5,2.9,5.6,12 and 24 mg a.i./L treatment groups was 100,100,100,90 and 0%, respectively. Fisher's exact test showed that survival in the 24 mg a.i./L treatment group was significantly different from the negative control (p z 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS
There were no adverse effects on survival, reproduction or growth of Daphnia magna exposed to PFOS at concentrations s 12 mg a.i./L for 21 days. Daphnia magna exposed to 24 and 48 mg a.i./L had significantly reduced survival. Consequently, the LOEC for this study, based on survival was 24 mg a.i./L. The NOEC was 12 mg a.i./L and the MATC was calculated to be 17 mg a.i./L. The results o fthe second-generation acute exposure also indicated aNOEC of 12 mg a.i./L.

PROJECT NO.: 454A-109
Introduction Freshwater samples were collected from a semi-static life-cycle toxicity study designed to determine the
effects o f PFOS (Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid Potassium Salt) to the cladoceran (Daphnia magna). This study was conducted by Wildlife International Ltd. and identified as Project No.: 454A-109. The analyses o f these water samples were performed at W ildlife International Ltd. using high performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection (HPLC/MS). Samples were received for analysis between July 12,1999 and August 2, 1999 and were analyzed on each sample receipt day.
Test Substance and Internal Standard The test substance used for this study was W ildlife International Ltd. identification number 467S. The
test substance was used to prepare calibration and m atrix fortification samples.
The internal standard was received from 3M Corporation on July 2, 1998 and was assigned. W ildlife International Ltd. identification number 4526 upon receipt. The internal standard, a granular m aterial, was identified as: 1H, 1H, 2H, 2H Perfluorooctane Sulfonic A dd, Chemical Abstract Number: 27619-97-2. The standard was stored under ambient conditions.
Analytical Method The method used for the analysis o f the freshwater samples was developed at W ildlife International
Ltd. and entitled "Analytical Method for the Determination o f PFOS in Freshwater, Saltwater, and Algal Medium". This methodology was included as Appendix II o f W ildlife International Ltd. protocol number 454/011299/MVAL/SUB454. It was based upon methodology provided by 3M Corporation.
Samples were diluted in a 50% methanol : 50% NANOpure water solution containing 0.100 mg 4H PFOS (internal standard)/L and 0.05% formic acid (v/v) so that they fell within the calibration range o f the PFOS methodology.
Concentrations o f the PFOS in the standards and samples were determined by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography using a Hewlett-Packard Model 1100 High Performance Liquid Chromatograph (HPLC) with a Perkin-Elmer API 100LC Mass Spectrometer equipped with a Perkin-

Elmer TurboIonSpray ion source. HPLC separations were achieved using a Keystone Betasil Ci8 analytical column (50 mm x 2 mm I.D ., 3 pm particle size). The instrument parameters are summarized in Table 1. A method flowchart is provided in Figure 1.
Calibration Curve and Limit o f Quantitation Calibration standards o f PFOS prepared in a 50% methanol : 50% NANOpure w ater solution
containing 0.100 mg 4H PFOS (internal standard)/L and 0.05% formic acid (v/v), ranging in concentration from 0.00915 to 0.0915 mg a.i./L, were analyzed w ith the samples. The same and most prominent peak response for PFOS was utilized to monitor PFOS in all calibration, quality control, and study samples. No attempt was made to quantify PFOS on the basis o f individual isomeric components. Linear regression equations were generated using peak area response ratios (PFOS : internal standard) versus the respective concentration ratios (PFOS : internal standard) o f the calibration standards. A typical calibration curve is presented in Figure 2. The concentration o f PFOS in the samples was determined by substituting the peak area response ratios into the applicable linear regression equation. Representative ion chromatograms o f low and high calibration standards are presented in Figures 3 and 4, respectively.
The method limit o f quantitation (LOQ) for these analyses was set a t 0.458 mg a.i./L calculated as the product o f the lowest calibration standard analyzed (0.00915 mg a.i./L) and the dilution factor o f the matrix blank samples (50).
Matrix Blank and Fortification Samples Six matrix blank samples were analyzed to determine possible interference. No interferences were
observed at or above the LOQ during samples analyses (Table 2). A representative ion chromatogram o f a matrix blank is presented in Figure 5.
Freshwater was fortified at 0.915, 9.15 and 54.9 mg a.i./L and analyzed concurrently with the samples to determine the mean procedural recovery (Table 3). Sample concentrations were not corrected for the mean procedural recovery o f 104%. A representative ion chromatogram o f a m atrix fortification is presented in Figure 6.

(Daphnia magna) at test initiation, July 12, 1999 (Day 0), on July 14,1999 (Day 2 old solutions), on July 23, 1999 (Day 11 - new solutions), on July 26,1999 (Day 14 - old solutions), on July 30, 1999 (Day 18 - new solutions) and at test termination on August 2,1999 (Day 21 old solutions). The measured concentrations o f PFOS in the samples collected at initiation o f exposure o f the test organisms (Hour 0) ranged from 96.5 to 121% o f the nominal concentrations (Table 4). Samples collected at Day 2, Day 11, Day 14, and Day 18 had measured concentration ranges o f 97.8 to 108%, 94.3 to 101%, 89.8 to 103% and 94.5 to 109% o f nominal values, respectively. Samples collected at test termination (Day 21) had a measured concentration range o f 91.0 to 102% o f nominal values. A representative ion chromatogram o f a test sample is shown in Figure 7.

METHOD OUTLINE FOR THE ANALYSIS OF PFOS IN FRESHWATER
Prepare m atrix fortification samples by spiking the requisite volume o f PFOS stock solutions directly into filtered freshwater using gas-tight syringes and Class A volumetric flasks.
Dilute matrix fortification and test samples into the range o f the calibration standards by partially filling Class A volumetric flasks w ith 50% methanol : 50% NANOpure water solution containing 0.100 mg 4H PFOS (internal standard)/L and 0.05% formic acid (v/v). Add the Appropriate volume o f sample and bring the flask to volume with the dilution solvent. Process the m atrix blank san ale using foe same dilution and aliquot volume as for the lowest fortification level. M ix well by several repeat inversions.
i
Ampulate samples and submit for LCMS analysis.

IN T R O D U C T IO N W ildlife International, Ltd. w ill conduct a semi-static life-cycle toxicity test w ith the cladoceran, Daphnia magna, for the Sponsor at the W ildlife International, Ltd. aquatic toxicology facility in Easton, M aryland. The study w ill be performed based on procedures outlined in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Series 850 - Ecological Effects Test Guidelines OPPTS Number 850.1300 (1); OECD Guideline 211: Daphnia magna Reproduction Test (2); Standard Evaluation Procedure, Daphnia Magna Life-Cycle (21-Day Renewal) Chronic Toxicity Test (3); and ASTM E 1193-87 Standard Guide fo r Conducting Renewal Life-Cycle Toxicity Tests with Daphnia magna (4). Raw data for all work perform ed at W ildlife International, Ltd. and a copy o f the final report w ill be filed by project number in archives located on the W ildlife International, Ltd. site, or at an alternative location to be specified in the final report.
PURPOSE The purpose o f this study is to determine the effects o f the test substance on the survival, growth, and reproduction o f the cladoceran, Daphnia magna, under semi-static test conditions, for a period o f 21 days.
EX PERIM ENTAL DESIGN Daphnids w ill be exposed to a geom etric series o f six test concentrations, and a negative (dilution w ater) control for 21 days. Individual neonate daphnids w ill be placed in ten replicate test chambers im partially assigned to each test concentration and control. Individually exposed daphnids w ill be observed for survival, reproduction and growth.
Nom inal test concentrations w ill be selected in consultation w ith the Sponsor, and w ill be based upon inform ation such as the results o f exploratory range-finding toxicity data, known toxicity data, physical/chem ical properties o f the test substance or other relevant information. Each test substance concentration w ill be 50% o f the next higher one. W ater samples w ill be collected at specified intervals for analysis o f the test substance. Results o f the analyses w ill be used to calculate mean m easured test concentrations. New test solutions w ill be prepared three times per week (e.g., M onday, W ednesday, Friday), and the test organisms w ill be transferred from the old to the new solutions.
To control bias, neonate daphnids w ill be im partially assigned to exposure cham bers at test initiation. No other potential sources o f bias are expected to affect the results o f the study. Observations o f the survival o f the first-generation daphnids w ill be made daily. The presence o f eggs in the brood patch, males

or winter eggs also will be recorded daily. W ith the onset o f reproduction, the number o f young present in each test chamber will be counted every M onday, W ednesday and Friday during the test and at test term ination. An acute exposure w ill also be performed for any treatm ent groups w hich produce young. Twenty neonates from each treatment group and the control will be exposed under static test conditions for 48 hours. The results o f the test will be used to calculate the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and the lowest observed effect concentration (LOEC). The NOEC is defined as the highest concentration that produces no statistically-significant effect on survival, reproduction, or growth. The LOEC is defined as the lowest concentration that produces a statistically significant effect oh survival, reproduction, or growth. The maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC) will be calculated as the geom etric m ean o f the NOEC and LOEC.
M ATERIALS AND METHODS Test Substance
Information on the characterization o f test, control or reference substances is required by OECD Principles o f Good Laboratory Practice. The Sponsor is responsible for providing W ildlife International, Ltd. written verification that the test substance has been characterized according to GLPs. I f w ritten verification o f GLP test substance characterization is not provided to W ildlife International, Ltd., it w ill be noted in the compliance statement o f the final report. The attached form ID EN TIFIC A TIO N O F T E ST SUBSTANCE BY SPONSOR (Appendix I) is to be used to provide inform ation necessary for GLP com pliance.
The Sponsor is responsible for all information related to the test substance and agrees to accept any unused test substance and/or test substance containers remaining at the end o f the study.
Preparation o f Test Concentrations The test substance w ill be mixed directly into dilution water. The solutions w ill be m ixed until the
test material is dissolved. Once dissolved, the solution w ill be distributed into test chambers or diluted w ith dilution water to achieve the desired test concentrations.

Test Organism The cladoceran, Daphnia magna, has been selected as the test species for this study. Daphnids are
representative o f an im portant group o f aquatic invertebrates, and have been selected for use in the test based upon past use history and ease o f culturing in the laboratory. Daphnid neonates to be used in the test w ill be less than 24 hours old and w ill be obtained from cultures maintained at W ildlife International, Ltd., Easton, M aryland. The identity o f the species w ill be verified using appropriate taxonomic keys such as Pennak (5).
Daphnids w ill be cultured in w ater from the same source .and at approximately the same tem perature as w ill be used during the test. Daphnids in the cultures producing neonates for the test w ill be held for at least 10 days prior to collection o f the neonates for testing. Neonates from daphnids that show signs o f disease or stress w ill not be used as test organisms. Daphnids in holding that produce ephippia also, w ill not be used to supply neonates for testing.
Daphnids in the cultures w ill be fed once daily. The diet will be a mixture o f yeast, Cerophyll, and trout chow (YCT), supplemented w ith a suspension o f the freshwater green alga Selenastrum capricomutum. Specifications for acceptable levels o f contaminants in daphnid diets have not beenestablished. However, there are no known levels o f contaminants reasonably expected to be present in the diet that are considered to interfere w ith the purpose or conduct o f the test.
N eonates w ill be obtained for testing from at least three individual adults. Prior to test initiation, the neonates w ill be collected from cultures and transferred to glass beakers. The daphnids w ill be released into the test compartments below the w ater surface using a wide-bore pipette. Daphnids will be fed daily during the test using the same diet as used in the cultures. Daphnids w ill be fed 0.3 mL o f YCT and 0.6 mL o f Selenastrum once daily. The frequency o f feeding w ill be documented in the raw data and the final report.
D ilution W ater W ater used for the culturing and testing o f daphnids will be obtained from a well approximately 40
m eters deep located on the W ildlife International, Ltd. site. The water will be passed through a sand filter and pumped into a 37,800-L storage tank where the w ater w ill be aerated with spray nozzles. Prior to use the w ater w ill be filtered to 0.45 pm and passed through an ultraviolet sterilizer in order to remove

microorganisms and fine particles. W ater used for culturing and testing is characterized as m oderately hard. Typical values for hardness, alkalinity, pH and specific conductance are approxim ately:
Hardness, mg/L as C aC 03 Alkalinity, mg/L as C aC 03 pH Specific Conductance, pmhos/cm
145 190
8.1 330
Hardness, alkalinity, pH and specific conductance w ill be measured w eekly to m onitor the consistency o f the well water. Means and ranges o f the measured param eters for the four-week period preceding the test will be provided in the final report. Analyses w ill be performed at least once annually to determine the concentrations of selected organic and inorganic constituents o f the w ell w ater and results o f the most recent GLP compliant analyses will be summarized in the final report.
Test Apparatus Test chambers will consist o f 250-mL Nalgene beakers containing 200 mL o f test solution. Test
chambers will be randomly positioned by treatm ent group in a tem perature-controlled w ater bath or an environmental chamber. Test chambers will be labeled with the project number, test concentration and replicate.
Environmental Conditions Lighting used to illuminate the cultures and test chambers during culturing and testing w ill be
provided by fluorescent tubes that emit wavelengths similar to natural sunlight (e.g., Colortone 50). A photoperiod o f 16 hours o f light and 8 hours o f dark will be controlled with an autom atic tim er. A 30minute transition o f low light intensity will be provided when lights go on and o ff to avoid sudden changes in light intensity. Light intensity w ill be measured ju st prior to test initiation and a t approxim ately w eekly intervals thereafter with a SPER Scientific Ltd. light meter or equivalent.
The target test temperature will be 20 1 C. Temperature w ill be m easured in one alternating
replicate o f each treatm ent and the control group at test initiation, in the old and new solutions on renewal
days, and at test termination using a liquid-in-glass thermometer. Temperature also w ill be m easured with a
continuous recorder in one negative control replicate. Recorder measurements w ill be verified w ith a
liquid-in-glass thermometer prior to test initiation and at least weekly thereafter.

Dissolved oxygen w ill be measured in one alternating replicate o f each treatm ent and the control group daily during the first week o f the test, in the old and new solutions on renewal days, and a t test term ination using a Yellow Springs Instruments Model 5 IB dissolved oxygen meter, or equivalent. In the event that dissolved oxygen levels fall below 60% saturation, dissolved oxygen w ill be measured in every test cham ber and appropriate actions w ill be taken after consultation with the Sponsor. M easurements o f pH w ill be made in one alternating replicate o f each treatm ent and the control group at test initiation, in the old and new solutions on renewal days, and at test term ination using a Fisher Accumet M odel 915 pH m eter, or equivalent. I f a treatm ent level reaches 100% mortality, dissolved oxygen, pH and tem perature measurements w ill be taken at that tim e, then discontinued.
H ardness, alkalinity, and specific conductance w ill be measured in the negative (dilution water) control and the highest test concentration at test initiation and at approximately weekly intervals thereafter. H ardness and alkalinity measurements w ill be made by titration using procedures based on methods in Standard Methods fo r the Examination o f Water and Wastewater (6). Specific conductance will be measured using a Yellow Springs Instruments Model 33 Salinity-Conductivity-Tem perature meter, or equivalent.
Biological Observations The first generation daphnids w ill be observed daily during the test for survival, the onset o f
reproduction, and clinical signs o f toxicity. The criteria for death include absence o f heartbeat, white opaque coloration, lack o f movement o f appendages and lack o f response to gentle prodding. Im m obilization is defined as a lack o f m ovement except for m inor spontaneous random movement o f die appendages. Examples o f clinical signs o f toxicity include inability to maintain position in the water column, uncoordinated swimming and cessation o f feeding. The presence o f eggs in the brood pouch, aborted eggs, m ales, or ephippia also w ill be recorded. A fter the onset o f reproduction, tw enty neonates from each treatm ent group and the control will be exposed for 48-hours under static test conditions. The neonates w ill be observed at 24 and 48 hours for mortality/immobility and clinical signs o f toxicity.
W ith the onset o f reproduction, the number o f second-generation daphnids w ill be counted and recorded approxim ately three tim es per week. Second generation neonates will be observed for clinical signs o f toxicity. Second-generation daphnids not used for the acute exposure w ill be discarded. The

length and dry weight o f the surviving first-generation daphnids will be measured at the end o f the test. The test w ill not be considered acceptable if control survival is <80% or if the number o f young produced by each surviving daphnid living the full 21 days is less than an average o f 60.
Sampling for Analytical Measurements W ater samples will be collected from the new and old solutions during each week o f the test to
determine concentrations o f thd test substance. Duplicate samples for the new solutions w ill be collected from the freshly prepared solutions, whereas samples from the old solutions w ill be obtained from a composite o f all replicate test chambers for each control and treatm ent level.

A nalvtical Chemistry Chem ical analysis o f the samples w ill be performed by W ildlife International, Ltd. The analytical
m ethod used w ill be based upon methodology provided by the Sponsor and identified in Appendix EL M odifications made to the analytical method w ill be documented in the raw data and described in the final report.
Data Analyses Statistical analyses w ill be performed on the survival o f first-generation daphnids, the number o f live
young produced by each individually-exposed daphnid, and the length and dry w eight o f the individuallyexposed first-generation daphnids.
To evaluate whether or not survival is affected by the treatm ents, 2 X 2 contingency tables and the chi-square test w ill be used on survival data (i.e., numbers o f alive and dead daphnids). Analyses o f reproduction and growth (weight and length) data will be evaluated for normality and homogeneity o f variances. I f the data are deemed normal w ith homogeneous variances, hypothesis testing using analysis o f variance (ANOVA) and m ultiple means tests (e.g., Dunnett's, Bonferroni, Schefife) w ill be used. I f the data foil the tests for norm ality or homogeneity, then data transformations w ill be tried in an attem pt to correct the condition. W hen the data transformations fail to correct for non-normality or heterogeneity o f variances, nonparam etric procedures w ill be used to identify statistically significant differences among the experimental groups.
The statistical analyses o f survival, growth and reproduction data w ill aid but may not be exclusively used in the determ ination o f the no observed effect concentration (NOEC) and low est observed effect concentration (LOEC). The maximum acceptable toxicant concentration (MATC) w ill be calculated as the geom etric mean o f the NOEC and LOEC.
