Executive Summary
A preliminary investigation of the nature and extent of sediment contamination in Manistee
Lake was performed. The investigation utilized the sediment quality triad approach with
integrated assessments of chemistry, toxicity, and benthic macroinvertebrates. Diverse
populations of benthic macroinvertebrates and limited evidence of anthropogenic chemical
contamination were found in the control locations near the Manistee and Little Manistee
Rivers (upper northeast and lower southeast sections of the lake). The remainder of
Manistee Lake was characterized by depauperate benthic communities and sediments
impacted by the influx of contaminated groundwater and the presence of oils and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The influx of contaminated groundwater and brines from
surface discharge were evident by the presence of chemical stratification in the lower
hypolimnion. A layer (approximately 5') of water with high specific conductance was
present at the bottom of the lake in July 1998. High levels of chloride were also found in the
sediments. Areas of intense brine intrusion were found one mile north of the Martin Marietta
facility where abandon brine wells and transmission pipelines were located across the lake
from Hardy Salt. The chloride levels in the remaining stations suggested a more diffuse
venting of contaminated groundwater and the formation of a density gradient in the
sediments. Chloride concentrations increased with sediment depth.
Sediment oil contamination and the detection of elevated levels of PAH compounds indicated
extensive hydrocarbon pollution was still present in Manistee Lake. The levels reported for
oils were similar to the amounts found in 1975. Of the 12 sites investigated in areas of
anthropogenic impact, 10 locations exceeded the Probable Effect Concentrations (PECs) for
individual PAH compounds. The highest level of PAH compounds was near Morton
Chemical (M-13: 29.4 mg/kg) and the highest level of oil was found near Manistee Drop
Forge (M-6: 26,000 mg/kg). Elevated levels of metals were found at all stations however
concentrations were below the PEC guidelines. Resin acids were found to be distributed
throughout Manistee Lake. The highest levels were found in the 20"-40" core section
downstream from the old PCA outfall. The distribution of resin acids in the surficial
sediments also supported the hypothesis of a diffuse venting of groundwater from the PCA
site. Resin acids were not detected in the fish samples collected. The diffuse nature of the
groundwater influx, the presence chemical stratification during the summer, and the high
levels of oil contamination in the sediments create conditions that limit the exposure of fish
populations to these chemicals.
Sediment toxicity to amphipods and midges was observed at M-6 and M-13. These stations
had the highest levels of hydrocarbon oils and PAH compounds. Amphipod toxicity was
measured at five additional sites, all containing levels of individual PAH compounds
exceeding PEC concentrations.
A variety of statistical techniques were employed to examine the difference between the
control population and locations impacted by the PCA groundwater plume and the salt brine
companies. The results showed a clear difference between diversity and trophic status with
respect to the controls and the impacted sites. ANOVA results confirmed that the impacted
populations were less diverse and dominated by pollution tolerant organisms. The ANOVA
1

-------
results also suggested that the brine-impacted sites as a group, have benthic
macroinvertebrate populations with a lower trophic status than benthos collected in the area
influenced by the PCA/Martin Marietta groundwater plume.

1.0 Introduction
Manistee Lake is a large drowned river mouth (929 acres) that is directly connected to Lake
Michigan by a navigation channel (Figure 1.1). The main basin of the lake is characterized
by steep banks and water contours with a maximum depth of 49 feet. An extensive wetland
complex is located in the northern part of the lake in the area where the Manistee River enters
the system. Wetlands are also located in the southern basin of the lake near the confluence of
the Little Manistee River. Water flows in a northwesterly direction in Manistee Lake up to
the channel area across from the Manistee River wetlands. At this point, the water flows
westward to Lake Michigan. The watershed has a drainage basin of over 2000 square miles
and contains an important fishery in this region of the Great Lakes. While most rivers in this
watershed are classified as relatively pristine trout streams, substantial anthropogenic
activities have adversely affected Manistee Lake. For over 125 years, industrial discharges
from lumbering, leather tanning, brine extraction, and pulp/cardboard production facilities
have impacted water quality and contaminated the sediments. Investigations conducted by
the Michigan Water Resources Commission (Surber 1953) and the Michigan Department of
Natural Resources (Grant 1975) found depauperate benthic macroinvertebrate communities
in a majority of Manistee Lake. The only locations that contained pollution intolerant
organisms were at the mouths of the Little Manistee and the Manistee River. The Packaging
Corporation of America (PCA) Superfund Site is of particular concern due to an extensive
groundwater discharge of Kraft black liquor that enters the southeastern basin of the lake.
Process water from the Kraft operations was discharged into a series of eight unlined lagoons
approximately 2500 ft from the lake. These lagoons are hydraulically connected to Manistee
Lake by a sand/gravel aquifer that ranges from 40 - 200 ft thick (FTC&H 1991). From 1951
to 1976, approximately 7 billion gallons of effluent and process wastes were discharged into
the lagoons. A detailed investigation of the groundwater discharge from the lagoons was
conducted in August 1993 (Camp, Dresser & McKee and Battelle Great Lakes
Environmental Center 1993). Sediment pore water and groundwater collected from wells
installed beneath the lake bottom (50 - 200 ft) was found to be toxic to Ceriodaphnia dubia.
Toxicity of sediments from this area and the extent of impact on the current benthic
community have not been evaluated.
Resin acids have been identified as one of the more toxic components of Kraft effluents
(Zanella 1983 and Sunito et al. 1988). This group of compounds has been shown to be toxic
to fish (Leach and Thankore 1976 and Johnsen et al. 1997) and to exhibit estrogenic activity
in trout (Mellenen et al. 1996). Nimi and Lee (1992) found certain resin acids to
bioaccumulate in caged fish studies. Burggraaf et al. (1996) found similar levels of
bioaccumulation in mussels. Since resin acids were previously reported in groundwater and
sediment samples near a Kraft mill (Wilkins et al. 1996 and Travendale et al. 1995), it is of
ecological importance to evaluate the extent of contamination of these compounds in the
sediments and biota of Manistee Lake.
In addition to the area near PCA Superfund Site, other locations in Manistee Lake are
affected by historic and current discharges from several salt brine extraction facilities and

foundry operations. Many of these facilities have initiated remediation programs to eliminate
and/or reduce the amount of contamination entering the lake. Since the last assessment of the
lake was conducted in 1975, it is important to examine the current nature and extent of
sediment contamination and the status of the health of the benthic community. This project
utilized a series of sampling stations that are in the area influenced by the groundwater
discharge plume from the PCA lagoons. In addition, a group of sediment sampling stations
that reflect deposition areas near historic industrial locations, wastewater treatment outfalls,
and Michigan 307 sites were examined. The study protocol followed the sediment quality
triad approach (McDonald 1991) and focused on sediment chemistry, sediment toxicity, and
the health of the benthic macroinvertebrate community. The information from this
investigation will be important for the determination of areas that may require further
delineation and the prioritization of remedial action and habitat restoration activities.
1.1 History Of Anthropogenic Activities In Manistee Lake
Manistee Lake has been impacted by industrial activity since 1841 when the first sawmill was
constructed on the shore (Grant 1975). The abundance of timber resources led to the
construction of many sawmills and ancillary industries such as leather tanneries and pulp
mills. The first pulp mill was built in 1917, after the depletion of the areas white pine trees
resulted in the closing of the remaining sawmills. Wet-lap processing was used for pulp
production until 1949 when the plant was converted to a neutral sulfide operation. This
change resulted in the production of Kraft black liquor that was discharged directly to
Manistee Lake. After numerous fish kills and odor complaints, the pulp mill discontinued
the direct discharge of this material and constructed a series of eight unlined lagoons on the
opposite side of the lake. Black liquor and other waste products were discharged to the
lagoons from 1951 to 1976. The lagoons were closed in 1976 due to problems associated
with groundwater discharges entering Manistee Lake. The mill is currently operated by the
Packaging Corporation of America (PCA) and the lagoons are in the process of final closure
under the Superfund Program.
In addition to the long-term impact of the pulp/box mill, industries related to the extraction
and processing of salt brine have also discharged contaminants to the lake. The first brine
extraction well was installed in 1881. Since then, Hardy Salt and Morton Salt have
constructed facilities to extract and purify salt brine on the shores of Manistee Lake.
Chemical brines containing bromide, calcium, magnesium, and potassium are also extracted
and processed. Brine discharges from abandon wells, NPDES outfalls, and seeps continue to
flow into Manistee Lake. Martin Marietta operates a production facility located on the
southeast lakeshore. The Martin Marietta facility is located down gradient from the PCA
lagoons and a combined plume of contaminated groundwater enters Manistee Lake at this
location.
Petroleum hydrocarbons have also been discharged into the lake by a number of industries.
PCA used kerosene as a pitch control agent and was forced to eliminate its discharge to
Manistee Lake in 1967 due to fish tainting. Oil spills were reported at Manistee Drop Forge
on several occasions in addition to a large release of fuel oil that was recently remediated by
soil and sediment removal. In addition to discharges from industries, petroleum releases
5

-------
from shipping may also contribute to hydrocarbon levels in the sediments. Large vessels
frequently enter Manistee Lake to transport coal for the power plant and to pick up process
chemicals from the brine facilities.
1.2 Project Objectives And Task Elements
The objective of this investigation was to conduct a Category II assessment of sediment
contamination in Manistee Lake. Specific objectives and task elements are summarized
below:
•	Develop a target list of resin acids for the PCA Superfund Site.
-	A sample of contaminated groundwater was collected from the PCA Site and
analyzed for a group of resin acids by GC/MS. Based on a review of the literature,
the following resin acid compounds were selected: abietic acid, dehydroabietic acid,
chlorodehydroabietic acid, dichlorodehydroabietic acid, neoabietic acid, pimaric acid,
and isopimeric acid.
-	Critical measurements were the resin acids.
•	Determine the nature and extent of sediment contamination in Manistee Lake.
-	A Phase II investigation was conducted to examine the nature and extent of sediment
contamination in Manistee Lake. Core samples were collected to provide an
historical perspective of sediment contamination. The investigation was directed at
known sources of contamination in the lake and provided expanded coverage in the
area of the PCA Superfund site. Arsenic, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead,
nickel, zinc, selenium, mercury, total organic carbon (TOC), semivolatile organics,
resin acids, and grain size were analyzed in all core samples.
-	Surface sediments were collected from Manistee Lake with a Ponar to provide
chemical data for the sediments used in the toxicity evaluations and for the analysis of
the benthic macroinvertebrate communities. The Ponar samples were analyzed for
the same parameters as the sediment cores.
-	Critical measurements were the concentration of arsenic, barium, cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, selenium, mercury, semivolatile organics, and
resin acids in sediment samples. Non-critical measurements were total organic
carbon, and grain size.
•	Evaluate the toxicity of sediments from sites in the lower Manistee Lake area.
-	Sediment toxicity evaluations were performed with Hyalella azteca and Chironomus
tentans.
-	Toxicity measurements in Manistee Lake sediments were evaluated and compared
with the two control locations. These measurements determined the presence and
degree of toxicity associated with sediments from Manistee Lake.
-	Critical measurements were the determination of lethality during the toxicity tests and
the monitoring of water quality indicators during exposure (ammonia, dissolved
oxygen, temperature, conductivity, pH, and alkalinity).
•	Determine the abundance and diversity of benthic invertebrates in Manistee Lake.
-	Sediment samples were collected with a Ponar in Manistee Lake.
-	The abundance and diversity of the benthic invertebrate communities were evaluated
and compared with the two control locations.
-	Critical measurements included the abundance and species composition of benthic
6

-------
macroin vertebrates.
• Determine the degree of bioaccumulation of resin acids in fish from Manistee Lake.
-	Fish samples were collected from Manistee Lake
-	Size, age, species, and sex of the fish were determined. Resin acids were analyzed in
the fish tissue. The final analyte list was determined by reviewing the results of the
sediment samples.
-	Critical measurements were the target list of resin acids.
1.3 Experimental Design
This investigation was designed to examine specific sites of possible contamination as well
as provide an overall assessment of the nature and extent of sediment contamination in
Manistee Lake. This bifurcated approach allowed the investigation to focus on specific sites
based on historical information in addition to examining the broad-scale distribution of
contamination. To address contamination at specific sites, 10 core samples were collected
from locations likely to have been impacted by significant anthropogenic activity. The
locations were selected to target current and historical point sources and downstream sites
from known industrial and municipal discharges. These sites were determined by the
analysis of historical data and industrial site locations. Analysis of lake depositional areas
was then used to select two locations that would reflect the general distribution of
contaminants.
Sediment samples were collected using the U.S. EPA Research Vessel Mudpuppy. The
sediment cores were collected with a VibraCore device with core lengths ranging from 6-8 ft.
The core samples were then sectioned in three lengths for chemical analysis. Ponar samples
were also collected at these locations to provide an assessment of the near surface zone
sediments. For each core, the analytical parameters included a general series of inorganic and
organic constituents as well as specific chemicals related to a particular source or area. The
general chemical series for each core included the following heavy metals; arsenic, cadmium,
chromium, copper, lead, mercury, nickel, and zinc. In addition, resin acids were analyzed on
all cores. The location of the study area is shown in Figure 1.2. Analytical methods were
performed according to the protocols described in SW-846 3rd edition (EPA 1994a).
Chemistry data were then supplemented by laboratory toxicity studies that utilized
standardized exposure regimes to evaluate the effects of contaminated sediment on test
organisms. Six Ponar samples were collected in areas that had elevated levels of
contaminants in the top core sections. Standard EPA methods (1994b) using Chironomus
tentans and Hyalella azteca were used to determine the acute toxicity of sediments from the
Ponar samples.

based on proximity to potential point and non-point sources of contamination and historical
data. A preliminary survey was conducted in July 1998 to determine sampling locations for
sediments and benthos. Shallow depths near shore (< 7 meters) contained considerable
woody debris and were not suitable for core or Ponar sampling. Sample depth and
conductivity profiles were also measured at this time to examine thermal and chemical
stratification. Sediment samples were collected in November 1998 from areas of fine
deposition. Samples from areas containing rubble and sand were excluded. In the southern
Manistee Lake area, nine sites were selected that included a control location, areas influenced
by the groundwater discharge plume from the PCA Superfund Site, and two other suspected
sources of contamination (Figure 2.1). Specific site locations were determined by Loran.
The differential GPS was not operational during the survey and consequently, coordinates are
approximate. The following locations were selected for southern Manistee Lake:

Core samples collected at stations M-l 1 to M-14 in northern Manistee Lake represent a broad
range of sources related to local industrial and municipal discharges and a second control
location. Site information related to these locations is provided below:

The groundwater sample used for the development of target list compounds was collected
from wells 86-2 and KMW-8D. Groundwater at these locations was found to be highly
contaminated with compounds related to the former PCA storage lagoons, (VanOtteren
1998).
A map of the sampling locations and adjacent industrial facilities is provided in Figure 2.1.
The Loran coordinates, depths, and visual descriptions are included in Table 2.1. Fish were
collected using a gill net near station M-7. A group of 12 fish was collected including seven
walleye and five common carp.

3.0 Methods
3.1 Sampling Methods
Sediment and benthos samples were collected using the U.S. EPA Research Vessel
Mudpuppy. Vibra Core methods were used to collect sediment cores for chemical analysis.
A four-inch aluminum core tube with a butyrate liner was used for collection. A new core
tube and liner was used at each location. Core samples were measured and sectioned into
three equal segments corresponding to top, middle, and bottom. Each section was then
homogenized in a polyethylene pan and split into sub-samples. The visual appearance of
each segment was recorded along with water depth and core depth.
Ponar samples were collected for toxicity testing, sediment chemistry, and benthic
macroinvertebrates. For sediment chemistry and toxicity testing, a standard Ponar sample
was deposited into a polyethylene pan and split into four sub-samples. The Ponar was
washed with water in between stations. A petite Ponar was used for the collection of benthic
macroinvertebrates. Three replicate grabs were taken at each of the sites. All material in the
grab was washed through a Nitex screen with 500 fxm openings and the residue preserved in
buffered formaldehyde containing rose bengal stain.
Loran coordinates were used to record the position of the sampling locations. The GPS
system was unavailable due to instrument related problems. The Loran system has less
accuracy with respect to the establishment of the true coordinates and consequently, the
coordinates of the sampling stations must be considered approximate. Since the core and
Ponar samples were collected on different days, some variation in the location may have
occurred.
3.1.2 Sample Containers. Preservatives. And Volume Requirements
Requirements for sample volumes, containers, and holding times are listed in Table 3.1.
All sample containers for sediment chemistry and toxicity testing were purchased precleaned
and certified as Level II by I-CHEM Inc.

3.2.1 Sample Preparation For Metals Analysis
For aluminum, arsenic, barium, calcium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium,
manganese, nickel, lead, selenium, and zinc analysis, sediment samples were digested
according to a modified version of EPA SW-846 method 3052 "Microwave Assisted Acid
Digestion of Sediments, Sludges, Soils and Oils". Samples were air-dried prior to digestion.
A Questran (Mercerville, NJ) Q-4000 microwave system was used. The system provided a
controlled temperature and pressure in each digestion vessel. Approximately 0.25 g of
sediment was weighed into a Teflon liner. 4 mL Type 1 deionized water, 3 mL of
concentrated nitric acid, 6 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid, and 4 mL of hydrofluoric
acid was added to each sample. Vessels then were capped and placed into the microwave
cavity. The program was set to raise the temperature inside the vessels to 200°C for 20.0
minutes. After completion of the run, vessels were cooled and vented. Then 15 mL of
saturated boric acid was added to each sample in place of using hydrogen peroxide. The
vessels were recapped and placed into the microwave cavity. The program was set to raise
the temperature inside the vessels to 180°C for 15.0 minutes. After completion of the second
run, the vessels were cooled and vented. The contents were transferred into 50 mL centrifuge
tubes and brought up to 50 mL with Type I deionized water. Samples were centrifuged for 5
minutes at 3000 rpm before analysis.
For every batch of 20 samples at least one set of the following quality control samples was
prepared:
Method Blank (4 mL of Type 1 deionized water, 3 mL of nitric acid and 6 mL of
hydrochloric acid);
Laboratory Control Spike (Blank Spike);
Matrix Spike;
Matrix Spike Duplicate.
For determining total mercury the samples were prepared by EPA SW-846 method 7471A,
"Mercury in Solid and Semisolid Waste". Approximately 0.2 g of wet sediment was weighed
into a 50 mL centrifuge tube. 2.5 mL of Type I deionized water and 2.5 mL of aqua regia
were then added to the tube. Samples were heated in a water bath at 95°C for 2 minutes.
After cooling, the volume of the samples was brought up to 30 mL with Type I deionized
water. Then 7.5 mL of 5% potassium permanganate solution was added to each sample,
samples were mixed, and the centrifuge tubes were returned in the water bath for a period of
30 minutes. Three mL of 12% hydroxylamine chloride solution was added to each sample
after cooling. Finally, the samples were mixed and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 3,000 rpm.
Calibration standards were digested along with the samples. Quality control samples were
prepared as stated previously for every batch of 10 samples or less.

3.2.7 Mercury
After the digestion procedure outlined in 3.2.1, sediment samples were analyzed for total
mercury by cold vapor technique according to SW-846 Method 7471. A Perkin Elmer
5100ZL atomic absorption spectrophotometer with FIAS-200 flow injection accessory was
used. Mercury was reduced to an elemental state with stannous chloride solution, and atomic
absorption was measured in a quartz cell at an ambient temperature and a wavelength of
253.7	nm. A mercury electrodeless discharge lamp was used as a light source. The
calibration curve consisted of four standards and a blank and was verified with a check
standard prepared from a secondary source.
3.2.8	Total Organic Carbon
Total Organic Carbon analysis of sediments was conducted on a Shimadzu TOC-5000 Total
Organic Carbon Analyzer equipped with Solid Sample Accessory SSM-5000A. Samples
were air dried and then reacted with phosphoric acid to remove inorganic carbonates. The
samples were allowed to air dry again prior to analysis. Calibration curves for total carbon
were constructed from three standards and a blank. Glucose was used as a standard
compound for Total Carbon Analysis (44% carbon by weight).
3.2.9	Grain Size Analysis
Grain size was performed by wet sieving the sediments. The following mesh sizes were
used: 2 mm (granule), 1 mm (very coarse sand), 0.85 mm (coarse sand), 0.25 mm (medium
sand), 0.125 mm (fine sand), 0.063 (very fine sand), and 0.031 (coarse silt).
3.2.10	Semivolatiles Analysis
Sediment samples were extracted for semivolatiles analysis using SW-846 Method 3050.
The sediment samples were dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate to form a free flowing
powder. The samples were then serially sonicated with 1:1 methylene chloride/acetone and
concentrated to a 1 mL volume.
The sample extracts were analyzed by GC/MS on a Finnigan GCQ Mass Spectrometer
according to Method 8270. Instrumental conditions are itemized below:
MS operating conditions:

A list of analytes and detection limits is given in Table 3.2.2. Surrogate standards were
utilized to monitor extraction efficiency. Acceptance criteria for surrogate standards are
given in Table 3.2.3. The GC/MS was calibrated using a 5-point curve. Instrument tuning
was performed by injecting 5 ng of decafluorotriphenylphosphine and meeting method
acceptance criteria. The MS and MSD samples were analyzed at a 5% frequency.
3.2.11	Hexane Extractable Materials
Hexane extractable Materials (HEM) was analyzed on the Ponar samples by SW-846 Method
6030. The method was modified to use a gravimetric measurement of the hydrocarbon
residue. Wet sediment samples were mixed with anhydrous sodium sulfate until the mixture
was dry and free flowing. The dried sediment was then placed in cellulose thimble and
extracted in a soxhlet apparatus for 24 hours with hexane. After extraction, the hexane was
dried with sodium sulfate and evaporated to approximately 2 mLs in a Kuderna Danish
concentrator with a three-ball Snyder column. The concentrate was then placed in a
preweighed aluminum pan and evaporated on a steam bath to remove the residual hexane.
The pan was then cooled in a dessicator for 12 hours and weighed. For quality control
purposes, a blank, blank spike, matrix spike and matrix spike duplicate were analyzed with
the sample set. Mineral oil was used as the spiking compound. Acceptance limits for
precision and accuracy were ±50%.
3.2.12	Resin Acids
Sediment samples were analyzed according the method described by Tavendale et al. (1995).
A 30-gram sample of sediment was extracted with hexane in a soxhlet extractor for 24 hrs.
After water removal, 2-propanol was added to the extractor and the extraction was continue
for 48 hrs. The extract was then concentrated to 5 mLs in a Kudema Danish (KD)
concentrator with a three-ball Snyder column and brought up to a volume of 10 mLs with
dichloromethane in a volumetric flask. The extract was partitioned into 0.1 M potassium
carbonate using 3-40 mL washes in a 250 mL separatory funnel. The aqueous phase was
then acidified with sulfuric acid and extracted with 3 -30 mL volumes of diethyl ether. The
ether was dried with sodium sulfate and concentrated to one mL as described above. The
extract was then methylated with an ethereal solution of diazomethane. A 40 mL aliquot of
dichloromethane was then added and the extract was concentrated to 1 mL with a KD. The
methyl esters of the resin acids were analyzed by GC/MS using a DB-5 capillary column.
Internal and surrogate standards were used during the analysis and are listed in Table 3.2.4.
GC/MS conditions were identical to those listed in 3.2.10.

3.4 Sediment Toxicity
The evaluation of the toxicity of the Manistee Lake sediments was conducted using the 10-
day survival test for the amphipod Hyalella azteca and the dipteran Chironomus teutons. The
procedures followed are contained in EPA/600/R-94/024, Methods for Measuring the
Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of Sediment-associated Contaminants with Fresh Water
Invertebrates. All sediments were stored at 4°C prior to analysis.
29

-------
3.4.1 Laboratory Water Supply
A moderately hard well water for H. azteca and C. tentans cultures and maintenance was
employed.
3.4.2	Test Organisms
The original stock of H. azteca was obtained from the Great Lakes Environmental Research
Laboratory in Ann Arbor Michigan. The H. azteca culture was maintained in four 20 L glass
aquaria using maple leaves as a substrate and as a food source. The food source was
supplemented with a suspension of Tetramin® fish food. The original stock of C. tentans
was obtained from the University of Michigan Department of Environmental Health in Ann
Arbor Michigan. The culture of C. tentans was maintained in 36 L glass aquaria using
shredded paper toweling as a substrate and was fed a suspension of Tetrafin® goldfish food.
3.4.3	Experimental Design
For the November testing, eight replicates per sediment were set up for both H. azteca and C.
tentans exposures, with the sediment from site G-5P designated as the control. In all tests,
moderately hard well water was utilized as the overlying water. The experimental conditions
outlined in Tables 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 were used for the toxicity evaluations.
One day prior to the start of the test (day -1), the sediment from each site was mixed
thoroughly and a 100-mL aliquot was transferred to each of the eight test chambers.
Additionally, visual observations of the sediments were made. Moderately hard well water
was also added at this time. On day 0, the overlying water was renewed once before the test
organisms were introduced into each of the glass beakers. Measurement of water quality
parameters was also initiated on this day. Ten, 7-14-day old H. azteca and 10 third-instar C.
tentans larvae were randomLy added to their respective test chambers. At this time the
organisms were fed 1.5 mL of Tetrafin®. The glass beakers were placed in a rack and
transferred to a temperature controlled room (23 + 1°C). The light cycle was 16 hours on and
8 hours off. Temperature and dissolved oxygen measurements were taken from one
randomLy selected beaker for each sediment sample every 12 hours, after which the
overlying water was renewed in all the beakers. Feeding occurred after the morning renewal.
This procedure was repeated daily through day 10, at which point the test was terminated.
On day 0, the overlying water from the beakers was composited from each sediment sample
and 250 mLs were retained for alkalinity, pH, conductance, hardness and ammonia analysis.
On the last day the same procedure was performed. On day 10, the sediments were sieved,
and surviving test organisms were removed and counted. The biological endpoint for these
sediment tests was mortality. The validity of the test was based on greater than 80% survival

in the control treatment for H. azteca and greater than 70% survival in the control treatment
for the C. tentans. In addition, it was recommended that the hardness, alkalinity, pH, and
ammonia in the overlying water within a treatment should not vary by more than 50% over
the duration the test.
3.4.4	Statistical Analysis
Survival data for the toxicity testing were analyzed first for normality and homogeneity
employing Chi Square. The data were then examined using Dunnett's Procedure to
determine whether there was a significant difference in survival between the designated
control sediment and those sediments containing pollutants. The TOXSTAT® 3.5 Computer
Program was used for the statistical evaluations.
3.4.5	Quality Assurance
Sodium chloride was used as a reference toxicant to calibrate the toxicity tests. The results
are provided in Appendix D.
3.5	Benthic Macroinvertebrate Analysis
Samples were washed with tap water to remove formaldehyde and extraneous debris through
a USGS #30 mesh screen. The retained portion was poured into a white enamel pan from
which the organisms were picked into two groups. These were oligochaetes and "other". The
worms were preserved with 4% formaldehyde and later identified to the lowest practical
level. The worms were mounted separately and examined under 100X and 400X. The "other"
group was preserved in 70% ethanol. Midges were removed from this group and a head
mount of each midge was made and examined under 100X and 400X. The number and taxa
were reported. The remainder of the organisms were identified and enumerated utilizing 60X
dissecting microscope.
3.6	Fish Tissue Analysis
Fish samples were analyzed according the method described by Nimi and Lee (1992). Whole
fish were ground using an Osterizer blender. A 5-gram sample of homogenized fish tissue
was acidified with sulfuric acid and mixed with sodium sulfate (approximately 15 grams).
The tissue mixture was then sonicated with 100 mLs of dichloromethane. The extract was
then filtered through glass wool and passed through a 3-gram column of sodium sulfate. The
extract was concentrated to 1 mL and passed through a gel permeation column (GPC) to
remove interferences. A GPC column containing 60 grams of BioBeads (S-X3) was used
with dichloromethane as the solvent at a rate of 5 mLs/min. The GPC column was calibrated
using the target resin acids and the analytes were found to elute between 100 mL and 200
mL. The dichloromethane fraction was concentrated, dried with sodium sulfate, and
methylated with diazomethane as described in 3.2.12. The methyl esters of the resin acids
were analyzed by GC/MS using a DB-5 capillary column. Internal and surrogate standards
were used during the analysis and are listed in Table 3.6.1. GC/MS conditions were identical
to those listed in 3.2.10.

4.0 Results And Discussion
The results and discussion sections are organized according to nine sections that present and
summarize the information related to the following topics:
The conductivity/depth/temperature data for Manistee Lake are presented in the limnology
section (4.1). The results of the groundwater samples are presented in Section 4.2 and the
rationale for the selection of the target list. Following this section, the general chemistry and
metals results arc presented for the core and Ponar samples (Section 4.3). A discussion is
also included related to the comparison of the data with published sediment quality
guidelines. The organic chemistry data are presented in Section 4.5 and include the
semivolatile, petroleum hydrocarbon, and resin acid results. Relevant sediment quality
guidelines are also discussed in this section. Fish tissue data are presented in Section 4.6.
Toxicity and Benthic Macroinvertebrate results are presented in Sections 4.7 and 4.8
respectively. Statistical analyses of the data and comparisons with related chemical and
biological data are also discussed. Finally, Section 4.9 provides a discussion of all the data as
related to the ecological significance of the sediment contamination in Manistee Lake.
4.1 Manistee Lake Limnology
During the preliminary survey on July 1998 and the sediment survey in November 1998,
Conductivity/Temperature/Depth profiles were measured using a SeaBird CTD system. The
results of the CTD casts are presented in Figures 4.1.1-4.1.4. During stratification in July,
a distinct chemocline was observed at M-7 and M-12 (Figures 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. respectively).
The venting groundwater from the PCA plume and the brine sources (groundwater and
surface water) were evident as a layer of cooler, more saline water at the bottom of the lake.
The area where the greatest change in conductivity was observed was in the bottom 5 ft of the
lake. Conductivity increased from 375 wS/cm at the surface to 450 uS/cm near the bottom at
Station M-7. Station M-12 showed a greater change in dissolved solids as conductivity
increased from 380 wS/cm at the surface to 650 wS/cm near the bottom. It is not know
whether the increase in hypolimnetic conductivity at M-12 was related to the localized influx
of more brine in this area or the greater depth of the station (47 ft vs 35 ft).

-------
Conductivity/Temperature/Depth profiles during November 1998 reveal isothermal
conditions with limited chemical stratification (Figs 4.1.3 and 4.1.4.). At both stations, the
water at the surface was approximately 460 uS/cm and began to increase at 25 ft. The
conductivity at the sediment/water interface of both stations approximately 475 uS/cm. This
minor increase in conductivity indicates an almost complete mixing of the water column. In
summary, the summer stratification and fall mixing suggest that venting groundwater
accumulates in a thin layer near the sediment/water interface. It is also possible that some of
the NPDES discharges may have sufficient density to sink to the bottom of the lake and
contribute to the stratified layer. The more saline layer then mixes during isothermal
conditions and is diluted with upper level lake water with less conductance. With an
estimated 30-day residence time for water in Manistee Lake, the system is probably flushed
with river water prior to ice cover. A similar cycle of chemical stratification and mixing is
likely to occur during winter ice cover and the spring thaw. While these conditions limit the
exposure of fish and planktonic organisms to the constituents found in the venting
groundwater, the benthic community in Manistee Lake has the greatest potential for adverse
impacts.

4.2 PC A Groundwater Target List
The results of the groundwater analyses conducted on the groundwater samples taken from
wells 86-2 and KMW-8D are presented in Table 4.2.1. The most recent set of analyses from
the MDEQ file are included for comparison purposes (VanOtteren 1998). The results show
good agreement between the groundwater analyses from this project and previous results. In
addition to semivolatiles, a target list of resin acid related compounds were measured and the
results are also listed in Table 4.2.1. Chlorinated resin acids were not detected in the
groundwater. The level of resin acids detected in the groundwater was below concentrations
previously reported in paper mill effluent (Wilkins 1997 and Liss et al. 1997) and at
approximately 25% of their theoretical solubility (Nyren and Black 1958). The
concentrations measured in this investigation reflect dilution with groundwater and
adsorption in the soil column. Resin acids have a high affinity for soils due to their
hydrophobic nature (Tavendale et al. 1997). The results for phenolic compounds were
similar to the July 1998 levels reported in the MDEQ database (VanOtteren 1998). Based on
these analyses, chlorinated resin acids were dropped from the target list.

4.3 Results Of Chloride Analyses In Sediment
Chloride was analyzed in core sections to provide an indication of the amount of brine
present in the pore water. The results are shown in Figure 4.3.1. A high level of chloride
was present at the M-10 and M-12 stations. The brine was concentrated near the surface at
M-10 and at the bottom of the core at M-12. M-10 was located near the abandon brine wells
and transmission pipelines that transverse the lake. M-12 was located in the deepest part of
the lake between Morton Salt and Hardy Salt. The chloride results are presented on a single
graph on Figure 4.3.2. With the exception of the controls and M-10, all stations show a trend
of increasing chloride concentration with depth. The results suggest that a salt gradient exists
in the sediments that is stratified with depth. The groundwater entering Manistee Lake in the
contaminant plumes from the PCA site and the brine facilities has sufficient density to
concentrate at lower sediment depths. This observation is consistent with results reported by
Camp, Dresser & McKee and Battelle Great Lakes Environmental Center (1993). Specific
conductance values exceeding 10,000 wmohs/cm were found at the 40 - 60 ft depths in the
lake sediment between Stations M-7 and M-4. Pore water at these deep levels was described
as black in color. The dark coloration and high specific conductance values were similar to
previous characterizations of the ground water (VanOtteren 1998). In contrast, the chloride
concentrations at M-10 indicate the intrusion of a brine seep in the 0 - 24 inch sediment
depth or the residuals from a brine release that occurred near Hardy Salt (Myers, 2001).

November 1998.
4.4 Metals And General Chemistry Results
The results of sediment grain size fractions, percent solids and TOC are presented in Table
4.4.1. With few exceptions, sediments from the core samples can be characterized as fine
grain size (> 80% of particles < 63 urn) and high in total organic carbon (TOC 4% - 16%).
The bottom core section from M-12 contained a high sand and gravel fraction that comprised
50% of the particle size. This sample was also high in chloride suggesting that it contains
brine seepage. Ponar samples generally had a slightly larger grain size fraction due to the
inclusion of more organic detritus. The Ponar samples from the control stations also
contained higher sand and silt size fractions compared to the corresponding top core sections.
These differences can be explained by sample depths (core samples collected from 0"-20"
and Ponar samples collected from 0"-6") and differences in location due to reliance on Loran
coordinates.
The results of sediment metals analyses are presented in Table 4.4.2. Figures 4.4.1, 4.4.2,
and 4.4.3 illustrate the distribution of chromium, lead, and cadmium respectively in the
Manistee Lake core samples. With the exception of Station M-2, the highest level of the
three metals is found in the top core section between 0"-20". Station M-2 had the highest
concentration of metals in the middle core section between 20"-40". This location is near the
41

-------
railroad tracks and down stream from the old PCA wastewater outfall. The presence of
elevated metals in the deeper strata may reflect historical releases from these locations.
These results are from a single core and additional samples would need to be collected from
the area to verify this pattern of heavy metal deposition.
With respect to spatial distribution, Figures 4.4.4 - 4.4.7 show that different patterns of
metals are associated with the two potential source areas. Elevated cadmium and chromium
concentrations in Figure 4.4.4 appear to be associated with the PCA source area more than
the brine companies. It is also interesting to note that the area of the combined Martin
Marietta/PCA plume has the highest concentrations of these metals. Figure 4.4.6 suggests
that higher levels of copper and zinc are associated with the locations near the brine
companies. These results can be explained by differences in trace metal composition in the
groundwater plumes from both sources. Elevated levels of chromium, arsenic, lead, and zinc
have been previously reported in the PAC groundwater (VanOtteren 1998). Venting
groundwater from beneath the lake, however, would tend to produce a reverse concentration
gradient with higher concentrations in the bottom core sections. A more lateral venting from
the sides or historical surface water discharges would tend to produce the observed patterns.
A detailed hydrogeologic study of the groundwater/sediment/water interface would need to
be performed to understand contaminant fate and transport.
The middle section core graphs show a different trend of distribution. Results for cadmium,
chromium, and lead (Figure 4.4.6) show that the 20"-40" depth at M-2 is clearly higher that
the other stations in the study. A similar pattern was noted for arsenic, copper, and zinc in
the middle core section of M-12 (Figure 4.4.7). Elevated chloride levels were found in this
core region, which indicated a direct connection with groundwater influx at M-12. Sediment
characteristics changed from silts to sand/gravel in the bottom core section, which explains
the lack of heavy metals found in the bottom core section. These results were again from
single cores and more samples from these respective locations would be necessary to confirm
these preliminary observations.
A comparison of the highest concentration of metals measured in the Ponar samples and
recent sediment quality guidelines (MacDonald et al. 2000) is given in Table 4.3.3. All
metals were below consensus based Probable Effect Concentrations (PECs). The PECs
suggest that adverse ecological impacts from metals are unlikely (< 50% probability) in
Manistee Lake.

4.5 Organic Sediment Chemistry
The organic compounds analyzed in the sediment samples from Manistee Lake included
semivolatile organics, hexane extractable materials (HEM), and resin acids. HEM includes
petroleum hydrocarbons and other non-polar organics. A complete summary of analytical
results for the core and Ponar samples is included in Appendix C.
4.5.1 Semivolatiles and Hexane Extractable Materials in Manistee Lake Sediments
HEM analyses were conducted on the top core sections and the Ponar grab samples.
Semivolatile organics were analyzed on all core and Ponar samples. Results for the
semivolatile organics and hexane extractable materials in the top core sections and Ponar
samples are shown in Table 4.5.1.1. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were detected
at significant levels only in the Ponars and the top core sections. Minor concentrations that
were slightly above the detection limit were found at M-2, M-6, M-5, M-13, and M-14 in the
middle core sections. No PAH compounds were found in the bottom core sections.
Concentrations of 4-methylphenol (4-MPH) were infrequently detected in the top core
sections and Ponar samples. The only station with positive 4-MPH levels in the middle core
sections was M-2. This compound was one of the major organic contaminants found in the
PCA groundwater (Table 4.2.1). Phenol, 2-methylphenol, and benzoic acid were not found
in the sediment samples. These compounds are very water-soluble, degrade rapidly in the
environment, and have a low affinity for adsorption on sediment particles (Howard et al.,
1990).
The results of HEM, total PAH, and 4-methyl phenol analyses are shown on Figure 4.5.1.1
(top core sections 0"-20") and on Figure 4.5.1.2 (Ponar samples 0"-6"). The Ponar results are
also displayed graphically in Figure 4.5.1.3. A comparison of the results for the Ponars and
top core sections is provided in Figure 4.5.1.4. The high levels of HEM present in the
sediments confirmed the field observations of oil droplets and sheens (Tables 2.1 and 2.2).
Stations M-6 (near Manistee Drop Forge) and M-13 (near Morton Salt) had the highest HEM
concentrations of 26,000 mg/kg and 12,400 mg/kg respectively in the Ponar samples. The
high HEM level near Manistee Drop Forge is probably the result of historic releases (Grant
1975). With the exception of this location, the highest concentrations of HEM appear to be
associated with the lower region of Manistee Lake near the salt brine facilities and
wastewater treatment plant (Figure 4.5.1.3). HEM levels at these locations could be from
historic point and nonpoint sources or releases from shipping activity. The comparison graph
of Ponar (0" - 6") and top core (0" - 24") samples (Figure 4.5.1.4) shows that the highest
HEM concentrations are found in the surface grabs at most locations. The exceptions are M-
2, M-7, and M-9 where the top core section contained higher HEM levels. This pattern
suggests that higher levels of HEM are located in the older, deeper, strata of the sediment
core. The flocculent nature of the sediments and the probable compression of particles
during Ponar and Vibra Core sampling makes it difficult to assign any age estimates to these
depths.

PAH compounds follow a similar pattern as HEM. The stations with the highest HEM
concentrations, M-6P and M-13P, also had the highest total PAH levels (17.6 mg/kg and
29.3 mg/kg respectively). The highest PAH levels were found in the lower region of the
lake near the salt brine facilities and near Manistee Drop Forge at M-6 (Figures 4.5.1.1,
4.5.1.2, and 4.5.1.3). With the exception of M-2, M-10, and M-12, the highest levels of
PAHs were found in the Ponar samples (Figure 4.5.1.4). These compounds are subject
to anaerobic degradation in the sediments and consequently older releases would show
lower levels. HEM was also higher in the top core section (0" - 24") than the Ponar
sample (0" - 6") at M-2, which suggests that an older release of oils or fuels occurred at
this location. M-2 is located near the old PCA outfall where kerosene was discharged.
Levels of PAHs that exceed Probable Effect Concentrations (PECs) (MacDonald et al.
2000) are marked with an asterisk in Table 4.5.1.3. With the exception of the control
stations and M-4, PECs for individual PAH compounds were exceeded at most of the
sample locations. Sediment concentrations that exceed PEC levels have a 75%
probability of exhibiting some type of adverse ecological effect. Correlations between
PAH data and sediment toxicity are discussed in Section 4.7.
In contrast to the HEM and PAH compounds that are found at all non-control locations,
4-methyl phenol (4-MPH) appears to occur only at several locations where the PCA
groundwater enters the lake (Figure 4.5.1.3) and is found at low levels. Concentrations
ranged from 0.47 mg/kg at M-2P to 0.65 mg/kg at M-7P. The highest levels were found
near the center of the groundwater plume (M-6, and M-7). It is interesting to note that 4-
MPH was found at station M-6, which was located on the western side of the lake. Even
though the PCA groundwater enters the lake along the eastern shore, this station is close
enough to be influenced by the plume. Elevated chloride at this location confirms the
presence of the groundwater discharge (Figure 4.3.2). The chemical stratification of
Manistee Lake as shown in Figures 4.1.1 and 4.1.2 may provide a density driven
mechanism for a persistent layer of contaminated groundwater to remain in the flocculent
surface sediments. 4-MPH was not detected at the northern edge of the groundwater
plume area (Stations M-8P and M-9P). These locations were lower in sediment chloride
concentration that may illustrate a more limited influence from contaminated
groundwater. Probable effect concentrations are not available for 4-MPH. Based on the
laboratory toxicity tests (Section 4.6) and the analysis of the macroinvertebrate
community, the presence of brine and PAH compounds appear to have a more adverse
affect on benthic organisms.
In summary, the control sites near the mouths of the Manistee River and Little Manistee
River showed no evidence of anthropogenic chemicals such as petroleum hydrocarbons,
PAH compounds, and phenols. Oil and PAH compounds were found at elevated levels
all of the sampling locations in the lake near industrial facilities. The distribution
followed a pattern that indicated a combination of point and nonpoint sources were
responsible for the sediment contamination. A previous investigation by Grant (1975)
found oil and grease levels in the sediments to range from 3000 mg/kg to 20,000 mg/kg.
These results were similar to the concentrations reported by this investigation, which
suggested that minimal changes have occurred for these contaminants over the last 25
61

-------
years. Basch (1971) investigated total phenols and hydrogen sulfide in Manistee Lake
sediments and found concentrations to range from 2 mg/kg to 27 mg/kg for total phenols
and 500 mg/kg to 4500 mg/kg for hydrogen sulfide. These contaminants were directly
related to the historic effluent discharge and the groundwater plume from the PCA
facility. While hydrogen sulfide was not measured in this investigation, field
observations revealed a slight sulfide odor in only a few samples. Camp Dresser and
McKee (1993) measured semivolatiles in sediment pore water and found no detectable
phenols (including 4-methyl phenol) at a reporting limit of 0.01 mg/1. The current
investigation measured whole sediments and found concentrations of 4-methyl phenol in
limited areas at levels ranging from 0.47 mg/kg to 0.65 mg/kg. A comparison of
historical and recent/current data for phenolic compounds suggests that sediment
contamination for this class of compounds has improved with the elimination of the direct
effluent discharge and the closure of the lagoon system.
4.5.2 Resin Acids
Resin acid analyses were conducted on all core and Ponar samples from Manistee Lake.
The compounds included in the resin acid scan are shown in Figure 4.5.2.1. Surrogate
recoveries for stearic acid exceeded 100% in most of the sediment samples due to the
natural presence of this compound in sediments (Appendix B). Surrogate recoveries for
the other surrogate, tetrachlorostearic acid were acceptable. Resin acids are produced
during the breakdown of lignin and wood resins in the Kraft process (Stevens et al. 1997)
and during natural aerobic/anaerobic degradation processes (Judd et al. 1998). Resin
acids have been detected in sediments from many areas impacted by Kraft Mill effluents
(Tavendale et al. 1997, Wilkins et al. 1996, and Brownlee et al. 1977). In addition
anthropogenic sources, Judd et al. (1998) found resin acids in the sediments in watersheds
containing conifer and hardwood forests. The results of the resin acid analyses in
Manistee Lake sediment are shown in Table 4.5.2.1 and displayed graphically in Figures
4.5.2.2 - 4.5.2.5. The highest levels of total resin acids appear to be located in the top
core sections and ranged from 3 mg/kg to 13 mg/kg (Figure 4.5.2.2). Areas influenced by
the PCA groundwater plume had slightly higher levels of resin acids when compared with
locations near the brine plumes. Two locations, M-2 and M-5, showed peaks of total
resin acid concentration (11 mg/kg and 18 mg/kg) in the middle core sections. Resin
acids were found at concentrations of < 5 mg/kg in the bottom core sections and at the
control locations. Levels in the bottom core sections showed an even concentration in the
lower strata.

-------
With respect to individual resin acid compounds, abietic and dehydroabietic acid were found
at the greatest concentrations. The distribution of these resin acids is shown in Figures
4.2.5.3 and 4.2.5.4. Dehydroabietic was almost always found at higher levels than abietic
acid, which probably reflects its resistance to anaerobic degradation (Tavendale et al 1997).
Neoabietic acid was typically found at the lowest concentration of the resin acids analyzed.
This compound undergoes an isomerization/conversition reaction to abietic acid (Leppaenen
and Oikari. 1999). The distribution of dehydroabietic acid (DEHA) and abietic acid
followed the same pattern as the total resin acids. The highest level of DEHA (7.8 mg/kg)
was found in the middle core section at M-5. The next highest concentration (6.1 mg/kg) was
found in the top core section of M-6. This station had the highest concentration of HEM
(15,000 mg/kg). The high oil content present at this location may act to trap the hydrophobic
DEHA molecules. There was little difference noted in the distribution of abietic acid
between the PC A and brine facility impacted sites. DEHA levels however were higher (two-
fold difference) in the area impacted by the PCA plume. Concentrations of the two resin
acids were considerably lower in the control locations.
A comparison of total resin acids in Ponar samples and top core sections is provided in
Figure 4.5.2.5. With the exception of M-13, the concentration of total resin acids was similar
in both the top core sections and the Ponar samples. The Ponar sample at M-13 was high in
HEM (12,400 mg/kg) and may also exhibit the phenomena of concentrating hydrophobic
resin acids. These results suggest that the concentration of resin acids is uniform in the top
24" of the sediment.
The concentrations of individual and total resin acids determined in sediment samples from
Manistee Lake were similar to those reported by Fox et al. (1976) in Nipigon Bay (Lake
Superior) and Tian et al. (1998) in New Zealand. The area in Nipigon Bay was located
downstream from a paper mill discharge. The resin acids in the study conducted in New
Zealand were from a stormwater discharge from a large log handling facility. In contrast, the
concentrations of resin acids in Manistee Lake were an order of magnitude less than those
reported by Wilkins et al. (1997) and Leppaenen and Oikari (1999). These investigations
examined sediments from the receiving waters of softwood pulp and paper mill discharges
which may produce higher levels of resin acids than the hardwood box operation at PCA.
Softwoods are known to contain higher levels of resin acids (Liss et al. 1997). The historical
operation of the PCA facility and Hie nature of the current groundwater discharge also may
have contributed to the lower levels of resin acids observed. Beginning in the early 1950s,
the direct discharge of process effluent on the southwestern side of the lake was phased out in
favor of the lagoon system. The presence of elevated levels of resin acids in the middle core
sections (24" - 48") taken downgradient from the old outfall shows the influence of the
historic point-source discharge. The stratification of the plume in a layer beneath the
sediment plus the hydrophobic nature of the compounds limits the migration of these
compounds by groundwater advection into the sediments of Manistee Lake.

4.6 Fish Tissue Results
Seven walleye (Stizostedion vitreum) and five common carp (Cyprinus carpio) were
harvested from Manistee Lake and analyzed for resin acids according to the methods outlined
in Section 3.6. Resin acids were not detected in any of the fish samples analyzed. (Table
4.6.1.) Even though resin acids were detected in the sediments of Manistee Lake, they appear
to be in a form that has limited bioavailability. The high oil content of the sediments and the
hydrophobic nature of the chemicals limits the amount that can be exchanged with the water
column. In addition, the chemical stratification of the water column near the sediment
interface (Section 4.1) will prohibit mixing until the spring or fall isothermal conditions are
achieved. Any dissolved resin acids that have accumulated in this zone would be diluted by
rapid mixing of the lake.

4.7 Toxicity Testing Results
The toxicity evaluations of the Manistee Lake sediments were completed in November 1998.
Grab sediment samples collected from 14 different sites (14 samples with one additional field
duplicate) were evaluated using the EPA (1994) solid phase testing protocol with Hyalella.
azteca and Chironomus tentans.
Conductivity, hardness, alkalinity, ammonia, and pH were determined on the culture water at
the beginning and on the tenth day of each test (Appendix D: Tables D-l, D-3). With the
exception of ammonia in most of the sediments and conductivity and hardness in M10-P,
these parameters remained relatively constant. Variations of less than 50%, from initial to
final measurements for both test species were observed. Based on the initial pH values (all <
8.00) and the fact that the overlying water was exchanged prior to adding the organisms,
toxicity related to unionized ammonia was not anticipated to be a factor in these experiments.
The change in conductivity and hardness was related to the high level of brine found in the
sediments at Station M-10. Even after the daily water exchanges, levels of dissolved ions in
the overlying water remained higher than all of the other sediments evaluated. Temperature
and dissolved oxygen measurements were recorded daily throughout the duration of the tests
(Appendix D: Tables D-2, D-4). Very little variation was noted with respect to temperature.
The dissolved oxygen occasionally dropped slightly below 40% saturation in some of the test
beakers. The lowest dissolved oxygen levels were measured in the control sediment (M-
14P) and no toxicity related impacts were noted with respect to survival of the test organisms.
4.7.1 Hyalella azteca
The evaluation of Manistee Lake's sediment began on November 3,1998 and was completed
on November 13, 1998. Survival data are presented in Table 4.7.1.1. The survival in both
control (M-1P and M-14P) treatments exceeded the required 80%. Survival in M-14P
(83.75%) was slightly lower than in M-1P (88.75%), however the difference was not
significant.
Un-transformed survival data were evaluated for normality with Anderson-Darling's Test at
a = 0.01 and the data were normally distributed. Dunnett's Test (Table 4.7.1.2) showed a
statistically significant (alpha = 0.05) difference on the survival data compared with control
site M-14P in 7 out of 13 sediments. Sediments from site M-5P, M-6P, M-7P, M-8P, M-10P,
M-11P, and M-13P had significantly reduced survival compared to M-14P. Based on
amphipod mortality, the seven sediments listed in order of increasing toxicity are M-7P, M-
1 IP and M-13P (tie), M-8P, M-10P, M-5P, and M-6P. The control sediment from M-1P had
a slightly higher survival and consequently, Dunnett's analysis of the data showed 10 of the
13 sediments to have statistically significant difference (a = 0.05) for the survival data
compared to control. The three sediments that were statistically significant with M-IP as a
reference and not with M-14P: M-2P, M-3P, and M-9Pdup all had mean survival values >
70%. Based on the high survival measured and the fact that M-1P had lower organic carbon

4.7.2 Chironomus tentans
The evaluation of Manistee Lake sediments began on November 17, 1998 and was completed
on November 27, 1998. Survival data are presented in 4.7.2.1. The survival in the control
treatments (M-1P and M-14P) exceeded the required 70% and was similar for both sites. Un-
transformed survival data were evaluated for normality with the Anderson-Darling's Test at a
= 0.01 and the data were normally distributed. Dunnett's Test (Table 4.7.2.2) showed a
statistically significant (a = 0.05) difference on the survival data compared with controls for
M-6P and M-13P.

4.7.3 Sediment Toxicity Data Discussion
Statistically significant (alpha = 0.05) acute toxicity effects were observed in the sediments
from sites M-5P, M-6P, M-7P, M-8P, M-10P, M-11P, and M-13P for the amphipod, H.
azteca. In addition, statistically significant (alpha = 0.05) mortality was seen for the midge,
C. tentans in sediment from site M-6P and M-13P. Sediments from stations M-6P and M-
13P were toxic to both organisms and had the highest levels of hexane extractable materials
(26,000 mg/kg and 12,400 mg/kg, respectively) and the highest level of total PAHs (17.6
mg/kg and 29.37 mg/kg, respectively). Stations that had PAH concentrations above PEC
guidelines (MacDonald et al. 2000) are shown in Table 4.7.3.1. Sediment samples from all
the sites that exhibited toxicity to amphipods all had levels of individual PAH compounds
that exceeded PEC levels. Overall, resin acids did not appear to be the cause of toxicity since
the samples with the highest levels (M-2, M-3, and M-9) were not toxic to amphipods and
midges. The results of toxicity tests however could not rule out the fact that resin acids may
act in consort with hydrocarbons and PAH compounds to produce a toxic response. These
materials were widely distributed in the sediments of Manistee Lake.
74

-------
The static water renewal process employed in solid phase toxicity bioassays will remove
water soluble materials from the sediments. Any toxicity present in the sediments related to
brine contamination would therefore be reduced or eliminated by the daily water renewal.
The change in specific conductance observed from Day 0 to Day 10 (Tables D-l and D-3)
illustrates the effect of the water renewal on removing dissolved materials from the
sediments. Because of the potential for water renewal to reduce the toxicity of brine
impacted sediments, the results of the solid phase bioassays need to be analyzed in
conjunction with the benthic macroinvertebrate data. The status of the benthic community at
each station reflects the presence of the organic contaminants and the elevated dissolved
solids content of the pore water.

4.8 Benthic Macroinvertebrate Results
Triplicate Ponar grab samples were used to characterize the benthic macroinvertebrate
populations at each of the investigative stations. The locations, depths, and physical
characteristics of the sediments are given in Table 2.1. The population composition and
abundance data are summarized in Table 4.8.1 by mean and standard deviation for each
station. The results for each replicate are presented in Appendix F, Table F-l. Benthic
macroinvertebrate populations were statistically analyzed in two manners. The individual
samples were first analyzed to determine general trends and differences between the controls.
The samples were also analyzed based on potential sources to determine if there were
differences between locations impacted by the PCA groundwater plume (M-2 through M-9)
75

-------
and stations influenced by brine plumes (M-10 through M-13). The results of the statistical
analyses of the individual and group sample data are presented in sections 4.8.1 and 4.8.2
respectively.
4.8.1 Benthic Macroinvertebrate Results Of Individual Samples
Control stations M-l and M-14 near the river mouths had the greatest number of taxa with 23
and 19, respectively. On the lower end, M-10, M-12, and M-13 had only five or six taxa,
reflecting some impact of contamination (Figure 4.8.1). Stations M-10 and M-12 had the highest
levels of chloride in the sediments (Figure 4.3.1.). Station M-13 had the highest reported level of
PAH compounds and petroleum hydrocarbons (HEM). The Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK)
method, utilizing studentized range statistics, was performed on the data to determine
statistically significant difference in species composition between controls and the remaining
stations (Miller, 1981). The results of this analysis revealed that M-l was significantly
different from the rest (Table 4.8.2); whereas, M-14 was similar to M-2, M-3, M-5, M-ll, M-
9R and M-9. Also according to this procedure, M-2 was similar to the remaining sampling
sites. This comparative method between sampling locations utilized total taxa and showed
that all in-Iake stations were similar with the exception of the controls (M-l and M-14).

-------
Benthic macroinvertebrate assemblages at control sites M-l and M-14 contained pollution
sensitive taxa that were not found at any other locations within the lake. This included
representatives of mayflies, dragonflies, caddisflies, and a beetle larva. The family Naididae
was also only found at these two locations. The remainder of the population was distributed
among tubificids, midges, phantom midges, pelecypods, and snails. The majority of tubificids
were immatures and were found at all locations with the exception of M-6 and M-8. Only
one of three samples at M-4 and M-5 (Table 4.8.1) contained tubificid worms. The absence
of tubificids at these sites may be related to a combination of elevated levels of oil and PAH
compounds in addition to poor substrate quality. Considerable compaction was observed in
the core samples which suggests that the sediments were very flocculent.

-------
The highest concentration of 5,509 organisms was found at M-l and the population consisted
mostly of midges (75%), oligochaetes (9%), and amphipods (9%). The other control site, M-
14, had a density of 3755 macroinvertebrates with oligochaetes making up 31%, midges
accounting for 30% and the mayfly Hexagenia comprising nearly 25%. The differences in
control site populations were attributed to substrate variations. The sediment at M-l was
sandy and would favor midges and oligochaetes while the substrate at M-14 contained more
organic detritus. This type of sediment would be more favorable to mayflies. The lowest
density of 329 individuals was noted at M-6 and the midges and mussels made up 79% and
13%, respectively. M-10 had a concentration of 373 individuals and 258 were worms, with
no mussels and 100 midge larvae. Again a shift in the major groups was observed at the
impacted sites. The overall reduction in species composition and density as was seen at
sampling sites M-6, M-7, M-8, and M-10 was attributed to toxicity.
The macroinvertebrate assemblage data in Table 4.8.1 were used to calculate the community
loss index (EPA 1990) and the quantitative similarity index (Rabeni et al. 1999). These
metrics were employed to evaluate the potential impact of contamination between controls
and other in-lake sampling locations. The community loss matrix was calculated between the
control sites (M-l, M-14) and the remaining stations (Table 4.8.3). A value of 0.6 or greater
designated a significant loss of taxa. Based upon this analysis, M-l and M-14 had a value of
0.4 and M-2 and M-5 were close in showing no taxa loss to M-14 with a 0.63 and a 0.6 value.
The remaining comparisons yielded considerably larger values. Higher community loss
values were observed when M-l was compared to the other sites, and a value of 6.0 was
obtained for M-10; whereas, M-8, M-9R, M-12 and M-13 had a value of 3.2. It should also
be noted that these locations also produced the lowest number of taxa. The same comparison
between M-14 and other sites had values greater than 1.0 and the largest number was 3.0 for
M-12.
The Quantitative Similarity Index (QSI) was also determined for each collecting site (Rabeni
et al. 1999). The calculations are presented in Appendix F (Table F-2) and summarized in
Table 4.8.4. The QSI provides calculated values for determining if an adequate number of
samples were secured. The advantage of this matrix is that the investigator can then make a
decision on the number of sample analyses to be performed in order to obtain optimum
information as to the community structure and respective concentration per species. Positive
values for the QSI indicate that the analysis improved the reliability of the benthic data. Nine
of the 15 samples had positive QSI values (Table 4.8.4). Negative QSI values indicate that
the third replicate did not significantly improve the reliability of the data and that more
samples would be required for a more accurate characterization. Six locations had negative
values: M-5, M-6, M-7, M-8, M-9R, and M-12. Highly negative values for M-5 (-22.8) and
M-7 (-64.6) indicate a larger difference between replicates and suggest that the population
may not be adequately characterized. Additional samples for benthic macroinvertebrate
analysis need to be collected in order to define the population at this location. The other
locations had QSI values that were only slightly negative and indicate the potential for only a
marginal improvement with the collection of additional samples.

In summary, the controls, M-l and M-14, had the greatest number of taxa with 23 and 19,
respectively and contained several pollution sensitive organisms. Taxa comparisons between
these two locations were different as M-l was dominated by midges and tubificids while M-
14 had a greater component of mayflies. These differences are more reflective of substrate
conditions (more sand and less organic carbon at M-l) than impacts related to pollution,
A comparison of the indigenous fauna between the controls and the remaining sampling sites
showed a significant difference in species composition and density of organisms. A drastic
reduction in taxa as was seen in M-10, M-12, and M-13 that generated only five to six
species, respectively, indicated a problem with sediment contamination. Even though other
in-lake stations had a somewhat higher diversity, none approached the number of taxa found
in M-l and M-14.
4.8.2 Benthic Macroinvertebrate Analyses Based On Location Groups
The benthic macroinvertebrate data were further analyzed to determine if statistically
significant differences existed between locations impacted by the PCA groundwater plume
(M-2 through M-9) and stations influenced by brine plumes (M-10 through M-13). The
statistical methods are summarized in Appendix F (Tables F-3 and F-4). The following
metrics were utilized:
•	Shannon-Weaver Diversity (Krebs 1989)
•	Margalefs Richness (Krebs 1989)
•	Evenness (Krebs 1989)
•	Pielou's J (Krebs 1989)
•	Oligochaete Index (Howmiller and Scott 1977)
•	Chironomid Index (*)
•	Oligochaete + Chironomid Index (*)
•	Trophic Index (*)

The organism-based indices were calculated based on the formula:
(Xn2 + 2£n3) / (Xnl + £n2 + £n3) = Index value
where: nl is the number of organisms in the low pollution tolerance group,
n2 is the number of organisms in the medium pollution tolerance group
n3 is the number of organisms in the high pollution tolerance
Tolerance rankings were based on data from Winnell and White (1985), Lauritsen et al.
(1985), Schloesser et al. (1995) and Barbour et al. (1999). The tolerance rankings are
included in Appendix F (Table F-4). For the purpose of statistical analysis, the following
groups were examined:
•	Control (M-landM-14)
•	Group 1 - PCA Ground Water Plume (M-2, M-3, M-4, M-5, M-6, M-7, M-8, M-9, M-
9R)
•	Group 2 - Brine Processing Sites (M-10, M-l 1, M-12, M-13)
Group 1 locations were in the vicinity of the PCA ground water plume and also included
potential impacts from Manistee Drop Forge (M-6) and Martin Marietta (M-7 and M-8).
Group 2 locations were in the vicinity of the Abandon Brine Storage/Transmission Area (M-
10), Manistee Wastewater Treatment Plant/Hardy Salt (M-ll), Hardy Salt (M-12) and
Morton Chemical (M-13). The calculated data for the above metrics are summarized in
Table 4.8.5.
A linear model with a nested design was used for the ANOVA and included the factors listed
below:
•	group (3 levels - control, group 1, group 2 as defined previously)
•	site nested within group - that is, sites M-l and M-14 are within the control groups,
sites M-2 to M-9R are within group 1 and sites M-10 to M-13 are within group 2;
•	replicate nested within site - there are three replicates for each site that serves as the
error term for the ANOVA.
The basic procedure used was as follows:
1.	Assess the normality assumption that underlies the theory of ANOVA for the data within
each group
2.	If the normality assumption is justified, test the significance of the model.
3.	If the model is significant, then test the group and site within group factors.
4.	Use post hoc multiple comparisons to assess which groups and/or sites were different if
the hypothesis of no difference is rejected from the ANOVA.
All analyses were done using SAS and SPSS.

Model significance and between group significance were indicated by p-values < 0.05 in both
categories. These conditions were met for the trophic index, chironomid index, Shannon-
Weaver diversity, evenness, and richness. With the exception of the chironomid index,
variation between replicates was not significant (p-values >0.1). Variation between replicates
was significant for the chironomid index.
Post hoc comparisons on the means of the above groups were then performed using the
Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test. Means for ranked data were used for the trophic index
and chironomid index since the original data did not meet the assumption of normality. The
results are presented in Table 4.8.6. Columns with the same letter indicate that the groups are
not significantly different. Conversely, columns with different letters indicate significant
differences between groups.

The benthic macroinvertebrate populations in the control were significantly different from
both the brine-impacted group and the PCA-impacted group. With the exception of the
Trophic Index, the Student-Newman-Keuls analysis showed that the PCA and brine-impacted
sites had similar species evenness, species richness, Shannon-Weaver diversity and
chironomids index values. The overall trophic index values showed that the benthic
macroinvertebrate community near the brine sources had a significantly lower ranking (more
pollution-tolerant organisms) than the locations within the PCA groundwater plume.
The actual data or ranked data for trophic index, species evenness, species richness, and
Shannon-Weaver diversity values are presented in box plot format in Figures 4.8.2 - 4.8.5
respectively. Box plots provide a tool to visualize similarities and differences between the
test groups. All box plots show a clear difference between the control location and the
impacted sites. The benthic macroinvertebrates at the Group 1 and Group 2 locations were
significantly less diverse and dominated by a few pollution tolerant taxa. With the exception
of evenness, the brine-impacted sites (Group 2) showed a greater degree of degradation than
the PCA groundwater locations.
4.8.3. Benthic Macroinvertebrate Data Summary
The benthic macroinvertebrate community of Manistee Lake is highly fragmented. The river
delta areas where the control sites were located contain a diverse assemblage of pollution
intolerant and tolerant organisms made up of mayflies, oligochaetes, and midges. The
deposition of organic detritus by the rivers in these areas results in an environment that will
support both types of organisms. The assemblage changes dramatically in the vicinity of the
PCA groundwater plume and the salt brine companies to a population of pollution tolerant
oligochaetes and midges. Total numbers are reduced from 5000+/m2 at the northern most
control (M-l) to 798-2870/ m2 at M-2, M-3, M-4, and M-5. The PCA groundwater plume
enters the lake in this area. A dramatic reduction to 329-511/ m2 occurs in the area where the
plume combines with the historical release of oil from Manistee Drop Forge (M-6) and the
Martin Marietta brine plume (M-7 and M-8). Station M-9, located south of the combined
plume, however still within the influence of the PCA groundwater, shows a recovery with
organism counts of 1763/ m2 and 1706/ m2for the two replicate stations. Organism numbers
fall to 373/ m2 at M-10 near the brine-contaminated area and then recover to 1835-3311/ m2
near the salt brine facilities (M-ll, M-12, and M-13). Organism numbers at the control
location at the southern control station rise to 3770/ m2 with 30% of the population consisting
of mayflies. The decline in organism counts is mirrored by a decrease in taxa numbers for
stations M-6, M-7, M-8, and M-10 and coincides with measurable sediment toxicity in the
solid phase experiments.
As discussed in Section 4.7.3., the effects of brine contamination in the sediments were not
measured in the solid phase toxicity tests due to dilution from the daily renewal of the
overlying water. Consequently, the data from the sediment chemistry, solid-phase toxicity,
and benthic community assessment need to be evaluated in totality. Station M-10 had the
lowest number of taxa and total organisms. Levels of HEM and PAH compounds however
were moderate and the station had the third highest mortality. The high level of chloride
86

-------
measured at this location, suggested that brine contamination had the greatest ecological
effect. The results for M-12 show an apparent conflict between ecological and toxicity data
as low taxa numbers were obtained and no solid phase toxicity was measured. This location
was also influenced by a brine seep (high chloride levels in the sediment core) and salinity
effects are probably reflected in the ecological data.
A variety of statistical techniques was employed to examine the difference between the
control population and locations impacted by the PCA groundwater plume and the salt brine
companies. The results showed a clear difference between diversity and trophic status with
respect to the controls and the impacted sites. ANOVA results confirm that the impacted
populations are less diverse and dominated by pollution-tolerant organisms. The ANOVA
results also suggest that the brine-impacted sites have benthic invertebrate populations with a
lower trophic status than the locations collected in the area influenced by the PCA
groundwater plume.

4.9 Summary And Conclusions
A preliminary investigation of the nature and extent of sediment contamination in the lower
Manistee Lake was performed. The investigation utilized the sediment quality triad approach
with integrated assessments of chemistry, toxicity, and benthic macroinvertebrates. Diverse
populations of benthic macroinvertebrates and limited evidence of anthropogenic chemical
contamination were found in the control locations near the Manistee and Little Manistee
Rivers (upper northeast and lower southeast sections of the lake). The remainder of
Manistee Lake was characterized by depauperate benthic communities and sediments
impacted by the influx of contaminated groundwater and the presence of oils and polycyclic
aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). The influx of contaminated groundwater and brines from
surface discharges were evident by the presence of chemical stratification in the lower
hypolimnion. A layer (approximately 5') of water with high specific conductance was
present at the bottom of the lake in July 1998. High levels of chloride were also found in the
sediments. Areas of intense brine intrusion in the surficial sediments were found one mile
north of the Martin Marietta facility where abandon brine wells and transmission pipelines
were located across the lake from Hardy Salt. The chloride levels in the remaining stations
suggested a more diffuse venting of contaminated groundwater and the formation of a density
gradient in the sediments. A density gradient in the sediment pore water was described in a
previous investigation (Camp, Dresser, McKee, and Battelle Great Lakes Environmental
Center. 1993) with respect to specific conductance values.
Sediment oil contamination and the detection of elevated levels of PAH compounds indicated
extensive hydrocarbon pollution was still present in Manistee Lake. The levels reported for
oils were similar to the amounts found previously (Grant, J. 1975). Of the 12 sites
investigated in areas of anthropogenic impact, 10 locations exceeded the Probable Effect
Concentrations (PECs) for individual PAH compounds. The highest level of PAH
compounds was near Morton Chemical (M-13: 29.4 mg/kg) and the highest level of oil was
found near Manistee Drop Forge (M-6: 26,000 mg/kg). Historic releases of hydrocarbons
were reported near Manistee Drop Forge. Elevated levels of metals were found at all stations
with anthropogenic influences, however concentrations were below the PEC guidelines.
Resin acids were found to be distributed throughout Manistee Lake. The highest levels were
found in the 20"-40" core section downstream from the old PCA outfall. The distribution of
resin acids in the surficial sediments also supported the hypothesis of a diffuse venting of
groundwater from the PCA site. Resin acids were not detected in the fish samples collected.
The diffuse nature of the groundwater influx, the presence chemical stratification during the
summer, and the high levels of oil contamination in the sediments create conditions that limit
the exposure of fish populations to these chemicals.
Sediment toxicity to amphipods and midges was observed at M-6 and M-13. These stations
had the highest levels of hydrocarbon oils and PAH compounds. Amphipod toxicity was
measured at five additional sites, all containing levels of individual PAH compounds
exceeding PEC concentrations. Samples with lower concentrations of oils and PAHs and
elevated resin acid levels were not toxic to amphipods.

A variety of statistical techniques was employed to examine differences in the benthic
macroinvertebrate communities between the control populations and locations impacted by
the PCA groundwater plume and the salt brine facilities. The results showed a clear
difference between diversity and trophic status with respect to the controls and the impacted
sites. ANOVA results confirmed that the impacted populations were less diverse and
dominated by pollution-tolerant organisms. The ANOVA results also suggested that the
brine-impacted sites as a group, had benthic invertebrate populations with a lower trophic
status than benthos collected in the area influenced by the PCA/Martin Marietta groundwater
plume.
The sediment quality triad approach was used to investigate Manistee Lake. Chemical
analyses found elevated levels of PAH compounds above PEC guidelines, high
concentrations of petroleum hydrocarbons, and areas of brine intrusion. Solid phase toxicity
studies (10-day) suggest that mortality was related to the presence of elevated PAH
compounds in the sediments. Since the daily water renewal in the solid phase toxicity tests
would reduce any impacts related brines, the benthic macroinvertebrate data was critical to
the evaluation of ecological effects. With respect to taxa numbers and abundance, brine
intrusion appeared to have a greater negative affect than the presence of HEM/PAH
compounds.

5.0 Recommendations
The presence of high quality benthic macroinvertebrate communities near the Manistee and
Little Manistee Rivers indicates that the remainder Manistee Lake should also support a
diverse assemblage of sediment dwelling organisms. The depauperate benthic communities
that characterize the remaining regions of the lake however show a serious environmental
impact from the extensive influx of contaminated groundwater and historical releases of
hydrocarbons. Even though the groundwater venting appears to be diffuse, the size and
number of plumes entering Manistee Lake is sufficient to induce chemical stratification
during the summer. This change in salinity creates conditions that favor the survival of
tolerant organisms and the reduction of biological diversity. While only two locations
indicated the presence of the direct influx of a brine source, the apparent density gradient
observed may be problematic because of the concentration of salts and chemicals related to
the PCA facility appear to have stratified deep within the sediments. The fate of this
stratified layer is not known with respect to its direction of movement and degree of
confinement. In consideration of these conditions, the following recommendations are
made:
•	Conduct an annual monitoring program in Manistee Lake to document the extent of
chemical and oxygen stratification. The thickness and composition of the chemically
stratified layer is important to the assessment of the significance of the venting
groundwater plumes and surface brine discharges.
•	Conduct further investigation and corrective action in the locations where the influx
of brine was directly observed (abandon brinewell transmission pipeline area and
Morton Chemical).
•	Determine the fate of the stratified chemical layer in the groundwater located in the
sediments beneath Manistee Lake. The direction of flow and the endpoint of
discharge are critical data gaps.
•	Conduct a cost benefit analysis of a comprehensive program to reduce the influx of
contaminated groundwater on a lake wide basis. Given the widespread and diffuse
influx of contaminated groundwater, it is necessary to develop a strategy for Manistee
Lake as a whole.

Appendix E. Summary Of Reference Toxicity Test For The Sediments From
Manistee Lake, November 1998

-------
1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report contains the reference toxicity methods and data interpretation for the 96hour acute
tests for Hyalella azteca and Chironomus tentans when exposed to various concentrations of
potassium chloride (KC1).
2.0	PROCEDURES AND METHODS
A 96-hour acute static renewal survival test was performed with both Hyalella azteca and
Chironomus tentans. The procedures followed are contained in EPA/600/R-94/024, Methods for
Measuring the Toxicity and Bioaccumulation of Sediment-associated Contaminants with Fresh
Water Invertebrates.
2.1	Laboratory Water Supply
A moderately hard well water is employed for H. azteca and C. tentans cultures and
maintenance. The water is obtained from R. Rediske and is checked quarterly for water quality
parameters. This moderately hard water was utilized as the culture water as well as the overlying
renewal water.
2.2	Test Organisms
H azteca and C. tentans used in these reference toxicity tests were from the same stock as those
organisms employed in the sediment toxicity tests. The original stocks were obtained from the
USEPA laboratory in Columbia, Missouri. Both are currently maintained in the Institute's
facilities. The H. azteca cultures are kept in a ~15L plastic rectangular storage boxes with lids.
Maple leaves and "coiled web material" (Aquatic Ecosystems, Inc.) are used as substrates. The
food source is a suspension of Tetrafin® goldfish food. The culture of C. tentans is maintained in
a 36L glass aquarium using shredded paper toweling as a substrate and is also fed a suspension of
Tetrafin® goldfish food. The H. azteca used were 7-14 days old and the C. tentans were third
instar larvae (12-14 days old).
2.3	Experimental Design
The purpose of these tests was to evaluate the "relative sensitivity" of both organisms to our
reference toxicant, potassium chloride. H. azteca were exposed to seven different concentrations
of potassium chloride and one control with 4 replicates, 10 organism per replicate for each
treatment. The organism were fed 2 drops of Tetrafin® (4 g/L) at the beginning of the test and
after 48 hours. The C. tentans test followed the same procedure as described above, except only
6 concentrations of KC1 were used and the concentrations were different. Routine water quality
parameters were measured at the beginning and end of the tests. In all tests, moderately hard
E-l

-------
well water was utilized as dilution water. Hyalella and Chironomus tests were run concurrently
during December 1998.
2.4 Statistical Analysis
Because survival data were not normally distributed according to Chi-square analysis, estimated
EC50 values were calculated using the Trimmed Spearman-Karber Method. TOXSTAT® 3.5 was
used in these evaluations.
3.0	RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Reference toxicity evaluations with Hyalella and Chironomus began on December 14,1998. The
results of the reference test are given in Table E-l and E-2. Statistical analyses are presented in
Tables E-3 E-4. Both tests satisfied the validity requirement of 90% or greater survival in the
control. Temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, conductivity, alkalinity and hardness varied little
over the test period; however ammonia levels increased over the test period. As expected
conductivity increased with increasing KC1 concentrations. Chemistry data are presented in
Tables E-l and E-2.
3.1	Hyalella azteca
Survival data are presented in Table E-l. The survival in the control treatment exceeded the
required 90%. The Trimmed Spearman-Karber 96-hour EC50 estimate was 432 mg/L KCL with
a 95% confidence interval ranging from 410 to 456 mg/L. Statistical analyses are presented in
Table E-3.
3.2	Chironomus tentans
Survival data are presented in Table E-2. The survival in the control treatment exceeded the
required 90%. The Trimmed Spearman-Karber 96-hour EC50 estimate was 4.14 g/L KCL with
a 95% confidence interval ranging from 3.69 to 4.64 g/L. Statistical analyses are presented in
Table E-4.
4.0 SUMMARY
Reference toxicity evaluations with Hyalella azteca and Chironomus tentans were carried out
with potassium chloride in December 1998. Both tests satisfied the validity requirement of 90%
or greater survival in the control. In addition, Hyalella azteca appears to be more sensitive to
potassium chloride than Chironomus tentans
