^.Abstract
  Instream toxicity tests used the larval fathead minnow
  Pimephales promelas and the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia in
  Prickly Pear Creek and Spring Creek, Montana, waters to
  examine toxicity persistence in a stream receiving metal
  inputs. The toxicity source was Spring Creek, a tributary of
  Prickly Pear Creek. Tailing and settling ponds, related to
  gold mining in the Spring Creek drainage, release zinc,
  copper, and cadmium to Prickly Pear Creek. Stream surveys
  characterized flow regimes, water quality,  and biotic
  conditions  in conjunction with toxicity testing. The study
  objectives were to: (1) develop a data base for validation of a
  toxicity persistence model; (2) assess the applicability of
  data from the Prickly Pear Creek study relative to model
  assumptions; and (3) assess field techniques for acquiring
  model input data.

  Toxicity to  test organisms was primarily due  to zinc and
  copper in Spring Creek waters. Changes in Prickly Pear
  Creek toxicity downstream from the Spring Creek conflu-
  ence  were primarily  due to dilution  and hence  were
  consistent with model assumptions. However, Spring Creek
  was not the sole source of toxicity  in Prickly Pear Creek
  waters as  unidentified toxicants were present in  other
  tributaries. Ceriodaphnia was highly sensitive to toxicity in
  Spring Creek waters and provided useful model input data.
  P. promelas had a higher tolerance, and bioassay data from
  these organisms could not be used for model input. In the
  field,  nutritional  problems were encountered with test
  organisms  using procedures described in bioassay proto-
  cols for each, suggesting either a quantitative food regime
  should be developed or a nonfeeding test be  used in the
  future.

                                                       Support Division (MDSD), is examining persistence and
                                                       degradation rates of toxic wastes in streams. MDSD is
                                                       seeking to identify methods most suitable for assessing

                                                       waters. Specifically, methods are required for site-specific
                                                       assessment of effluent toxicities, both acute and chronic,
                                                       prior  to discharge, at the discharge point, and at  points
                                                       downstream where dilution, degradation, and partitioning
                                                       to other compartments result in reduced toxicant concen-
                                                       trations. Particular interest centers on validation of toxicity
                                                       models designed to predict instream toxicity persistence
                                                       and validation of methods for acquiring input data for these
                                                       models.

                                                       Instream toxicity testing has recently been conducted at
                                                       several sites by EPA's Environmental Monitoring Systems
                                                       Laboratory in Las Vegas, Nevada (EMSL-LV), and  by the
                                                       Environmental Research Laboratory in Duluth, Minnesota
                                                       (ERL-D). Validation of a stream dilution model will be based
                                                       on results from these investigations. Assumptions for the
                                                       model presently being assessed are: (1) toxic chemicals and

                                                       degraded) mixing behavior;  (2)  physical,  chemical, and
                                                       biological interactions do not substantially alter toxicity at
                                                       the point of complete mixing; and (3) variations in effluent
                                                       toxicity are reflected in the varying toxicity of receiving
                                                       waters and can be described by mass balance relationships.

                                                       To provide  instream toxicity persistence data to MDSD,
                                                       EMSL-LV conducted a stream toxicity study in the fall of
                                                       1983 at Prickly Pear Creek, Montana. The objectives of this
                                                       study were to: (1) develop a data base to be used for model
                                                       validation; (2) assess the applicability of data from  Prickly
                                                       Pear  Creek relative to model assumptions; and (3)  assess

-------
field techniques for acquiring model input data. The study
consisted of short-term acute and chronic toxicity tests
using two test organisms and stream survey characteriza-
tion of flow regimes, water quality, and biotic conditions.

Prickly Pear Creek flows north from its headwaters in the
ElkhornMountainsfor approximately 64 km before entering
Lake Helena andthe Missouri River(Figure 1). Gold mining
in the Corbin and Spring Creek drainage basin (draining into
Prickly Pear Creek) began in the early 1860's. Tailing and
settling ponds remain as prominent features within these
drainages and release high concentrations of zinc, copper,
and cadmium which are carried into Prickly Pear Creek via
Spring Creek. Areas along Prickly  Pear Creek  were also
subjected  to extensive  mining operations in  the early
1900's. Over 75 percent of Prickly Pear Creek was subjected
to stream bed modifications and dredging during the mining
process.

Procedures

Spring Creek toxicity and instream toxicity persistence in
Prickly Pear Creek were determined using static renewal
bioassays designed to  measure  both acute  and chronic
toxicity. Test organisms were the cladoceran Ceriodaphnia*
and the larval  fathead  minnow  Pimephales  promelas.
Toxicity tests were  conducted with  24-hour  composite
stream  and effluent water collected from September 30
through October 9, 1 983. Ceriodaphnia toxicity testing
actually began on  October  1.  Sampling  stations are
described in Table 1

Water  quality and  hydrological  parameters were  also
measured  as part of the study. For toxicity tests, grab
samples of control waters were collected each day from the
upstream Prickly Pear Creek station 011. These waters
were diluted with Spring Creek water (the toxicity source) to
obtain dilution test volumes with varying metals concen-
trationsfor comparison to ambient Prickly Pear Creek water
toxicity.

Results

Metal Concentrations

Spring Creek metal contributions caused  significant in-
creases in metals in Prickly Pear Creek water. However,
approximately  a two-fold decrease occurred  between
stations 013 and 018, due primarily to tributary dilution
(Table 2).  Dissolved metal concentrations were generally
well below acute criteria in all downstream tributaries.

Total recoverable cadmium, zinc, and copper concentrations
in Spring Creek and Prickly Pear Creek samples consistently
exceeded  U.S. EPA acute criteria for aquatic life during the
toxicity testing period (Table 2). Concentrations of arsenic
and lead were below the aquatic life criteria at all stations.
Silver exceeded the acute criterion on October 6 at station
013, but was well below the acute criterion for all other
dates and stations. Although cadmium exceeded the acute
criterion,  concentrations were below reported toxic levels
for Ceriodaphnia and larval fathead minnows. Toxicity in
test organisms was attributed to zinc and/or copper, but
Ceriodaphnia bioassays indicated that another unidentified
toxicant was present. Zinc and  copper concentrations in
Spring Creek were variable over the 9-day testing period
with peak total recoverable concentrations on test days 1
and 5 (test numbers 1 through 9 refer to dates, October 1 -9)
(Figure 2).

*Significantly different from control treatment, based on 95 percent confidence limits, indicating chronic effect level.
relationship  between  toxicity and metal concentrations
was poor, due primarily to the occurrence of the unidentified
toxicant.

Control water toxicity was evident in tests 1 through 3 with
significantly  lower neonate production in the control tests
relative to the culture water tests  (Table 3).  Bioassays
conducted on water collected from the tributary streams on
October 16 revealed a potential source of control water
toxicity due to Copper Creek inflow, located 100m upstream
from control  station 011. Significant difference in neonate
production (control vs. culture water) was also found in test
5, but this was probably due to nutritional differences in the
two waters. The culture water supported high concentra-
tions of algae  (Closterium)  and bacteria, and provided a
greater food  supply for Ceriodaphnia than was available in
stream waters.

Instream and Dilution Test Comparisons

Toxicity in Spring Creek dilution tests and instream Prickly
Pear Creek tests  was compared to determine if instream
changes in toxicity were due strictly to inflow of Spring
Creek water (Figures 4-7). Dilution volumes of Spring Creek
water at instream stations 013,  014, and 018 were 17.3,
7.2, and 2.4  percent,  respectively,  and approximated
dilution  volumes  of Spring Creek  water  used in  the
Ceriodaphnia dilution tests (20,  10, and  2.5  percent).
Mortality in dilution and instream tests having comparable
Spring Creek dilution  volumes showed a high degree of

tests suggested an additional instream toxicant similar in
nature to the unidentified toxicant in Spring Creek. Neonate
production in dilution and instream test comparisons also
showed no significant difference in a  majority of the tests
(Table 4).

            Ceriodaphnia tests.
Larval fathead minnows were less sensitive to Spring Creek
toxicity  than were Ceriodaphnia.  Estimated LC-50s  for
fathead minnows were at dilution volumes greater than
25-percent Spring Creek water, which was greater than
dilution volumes found for  instream Prickly Pear Creek
stations (Figure 8). This lower sensitivity was also reflected
in the instream station tests which showed little or no
mortality.

Toxicity was highly variable for fathead minnows. Minimal
mortality occurred in tests 2, 8, and 9. A significant decline
in toxicity in tests 6 and 7 indicated that the unidentified
substance toxic to Ceriodaphnia was  not toxic to fathead
minnows. Higher toxicity in tests 1  and 5 corresponded to
elevated total  recoverable  concentrations of  zinc  and
copper (Figures 2 and 7); however, a strong relationship for
these metal concentrations and toxicity was not clearly
evident in fathead minnow data.

High control mortality occurred after the third or fourth day
and  at  test termination mortality was greater  than  30
percent in six of the 10 tests (0, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 8). High
control  mortalities are usually indicative  of procedural
problems. However, mortality declined in the lower dilution
treatments with little or no mortality at  either 12.5 or 25
percent suggesting that Spring Creek water was amelio-
rating conditions in the control water. This mortality decline
may have been due either to  dilution  of  control water
toxicity or to the addition of some factor enhancing survival.

Demonstration of chronic effects in fathead minnows was
impossible due to highly variable growth rates. Growth was
significantly increased with increased feeding in a separate
feeding experiment, indicating test fish  were  probably
underfed and that a quantitative food regime should be
developed for future tests. Nevertheless, fathead minnows
raised at EMSL-LV  from  identical egg batches .showed
variations in length approaching 400 percent after 30 days.
This kind of growth variability highly influences test results
and a nonfeeding lethality test may  be more appropriate for
field testing.

Stream Survey

Water Quality

Nonmetal stream water  quality parameters revealed no
additional sources of toxicity as ammonia, cyanide, and
chlorine were  below detection. All  other  water quality
parameters were typical of fall conditions for good quality
streams of the region.

Hydrology

Stream  flow in Prickly Pear Creek increased from 11 cfs at
station 011 to 37 cfs at station 018, with tributary inflows
accounting for 62 percent of the increase. Flows increased
between stations 013,014, and 018 by approximately 5 and
8 cfs, respectively, as a result of ground water.

013, 014,  and  018  was  17.3,  7.2,  and 2.4  percent,
respectively, based on concentrations of Rhodamine WT
injected into Spring Creek on September 23. Dye retention
time from the Spring Creek confluence to station 018 was
just over 11 hours.

Biota

Salmonid fishes were abundant at all Prickly Pear Creek
stations  but there was a  downstream shift in species
abu ndance from brook trout (Salvelinus fontinalis), to brook
and rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri) to brook, rainbow, and
brown trout (Salmo trutta). The species shift in salmondis
was probably due to increased pool habitats downstream.

Previous investigations conducted during summer have
shown major  reductions in  both macroinvertebrate and
periphyton numbers and diversity in the Prickly Pear Creek
impact zone  (station 013)  and a gradual  downstream
recovery between stations  014 and  018. A superficial
examination of macroinvertebrate communities indicated
no  evident reduction in either  species types or species
number in the impact zone. This lack of reduction may have
been a physiological response to cooler water temperatures.
Water temperatures during this investigation were approx-
imately 7°C compared to summer temperatures of 16 to
20°C.

Metals in Sediment and Tissue

Sediment metal concentrations in Spring Creek and at
station 013 were approximately an  order of magnitude
higher than those found at the control station 011 (Table 5).

Concentrations decreased downstream but at station 018
were still substantially higher than concentrations found at
the control station.

Tissue metal concentrations were highest in periphyton
followed by macroinvertebrates and fish (Table  6).  Peri-
phyton and macroinvertebrate tissue concentrations  were
highest at station 013 and decreased downstream. Fish
tissue  metal concentrations were not exceptionally high
and there was no substantial difference in tissue concen-
trations between stations. Previous investigations  have
found significantly higher tissue metal concentrations in
most organs (kidneys, gills, brains, heart, and gonads) from
fish collected  in the impact areas of Prickly Pear Creek.
However, muscle  tissue  did  not  have  elevated  metal
concentrations. In this investigation, whole fish were used
for tissue analyses  and the inclusion of muscle tissue
probably masked metal concentrations in the organs.
 Conclusions

 Metal concentrations in Prickly Pear Creek were signif-
 icantly increased downstream from Spring Creek, which
 contributed elevated levels due to gold mine tailing and
 settling ponds  in the drainage basin.  Concentrations  of
 cadmium, zinc, and copper measured over a 10-day period
 exceeded U.S. EPA acute criteria for aquatic life at one  or
 more of the downstream sampling stations in Prickly Pear
 Creek. Elevated metal concentrations were the only identi-
fiable water quality problems observed in Prickly Pear Creek
during this investigation.

Spring Creek toxicity to test organisms (Ceriodaphnia and P.
promelas) was primarily due to zinc  and copper. Other
unidentified toxicants were present and Spring Creek was
not the only source of toxicity for Prickly Pear Creek waters;
however, changes in  toxicity (persistence) in Prickly Pear
Creek were primarily due to downstream dilution of Spring
Creek water. Spring Creek toxicity exhibited a conservative
behavior in its downstream  distribution  in Prickly Pear
Creek and was consistent with toxicity model assumptions.

Sensitivity of the two test organisms to toxicity in Spring
Creek  and  Prickly Pear Creek was very different. Cerio-
daphnia was highly sensitive, and bioassay results were
applicable in assessing toxicity persistence in  Prickly Pear
Creek. P. promelas had a higher tolerance and could not be
used in assessing toxicity persistence. Although sensitivity
of the two animals was different, both appeared to be highly
representative of toxic effects in Prickly Pear Creek native
fish and macroinvertebrate communities found in previous
studies.

Problems were encountered  in the field bioassay proce-
dures  used for  both organisms. These problems  were
related to the food regimen used in each bioassay. Cerophyl
proved to be a better food source than yeast in Ceriodaphnia
tests. Chronic toxicity was not  measured  in P. promelas,
apparently because of underfeeding, and either a quanti-
tative food regime should be developed for this test or a
nonfeeding test should be  used in future field testing.
