Version 1.2—September 2010
Book
This
revision corrects several mistakes that have been identified through use of the
report, and replaces citations to three “gray literature” preliminary reports
with citations to their final versions. The principal changes and updates are
summarized in the following three paragraphs:
1.
Two chronic toxicity values for rainbow trout had mistakenly been copied into
the table of acute values in the report (table 15, p. 97, at the10th and 11th
rows in version 1.1 of the report). These two invalid entries have been removed
from table 15. Because of the cumulative nature of the calculations that used
the Table 15 values, this correction resulted in small changes to several
derived values elsewhere in the report. For example, the hardness-toxicity
regressions for rainbow trout were revised using 35 values instead of 37 which
slightly changed the slope of the rainbow trout and pooled regression lines in
table 3 and changed the rainbow trout species mean acute value from 2.07 to
2.04 µg/L in table 3, and changed the slope term in the criterion maximum
criterion (CMC) equation on p. 29. These corrections are discernable in
intermediate calculations that are expressed to four significant figures;
however they may not discernable for calculated CMC values which have been
expressed to two significant figures. For example, both the version 1.1 CMC equation and the corrected CMC equation produce a value of
0.75 µg/L for a water hardness value of 50 mg/L as calcium carbonate.
2.
On p. 23 in table 6, 3 of 41 acute-chronic ratios (ACRs) were incorrectly
calculated. At the 10th row down from the top of table 6, a 96-hour acute value
for Ceriodaphnia dubia was
replaced with a 48-hour acute value to be consistent with table 15. At the 4th
and 6th rows up from the bottom of page 23, the wrong chronic values for brown
trout were used. The ACRs derived from these values were recalculated, which
changed the final ACR estimate for cadmium given in the last row of table 6 on
p. 24 from 3.40 to 3.42. The corrected ACR values were not used in subsequent
calculations.
3.
The results of three studies that were available only as preliminary versions
as of December 2006, have subsequently been published in refereed scientific
journals. No reported values changed from the preliminary to final published
versions, but the citations and bibliography have been updated to these more
accessible versions. Citations in the text to “Besser and others, 2006” have
been replaced by “Besser and others, 2007”; “Brinkman
and Hansen, 2004a”
have been replaced by “Brinkman and Hansen, 2007” and “C.A. Mebane, D.P.
Hennessy, and F.S. Dillon, unpub. data,
2004” have been replaced by “Mebane and others, 2008”. The references cited in
turn have been updated with:

for control mortality, which was 15%. While ASTM (1997) recommended that an
acute toxicity test should be
considered
unacceptable if >10% control mortality occurred, the test was considered
acceptable because high mortality during the early swim-up fry
stage was
considered typical for this stock (John Thorpe, IDFG Sandpoint Fish Hatchery
Manager, Sandpoint, Idaho, oral communication) and the test
the sole
data point for an apparently sensitive stock.
New
codenote 38 added: 38. Because of non-monotonic
concentration responses, the EC50 estimate for this test is more uncertain than
others in this
test series
and was estimated using the trimmed Spearman-Karber
method.

Version 1.1ľDecember 2006
Book—
This
revision includes a correction to a chronic toxicity test value for mottled
sculpin, Cottus bairdi. Because of the cumulative nature of the criteria
calculations, this single correction changed the species mean chronic value for
mottled sculpin from 1.22 µg/L to 0.84 µg/L cadmium, which changed the chronic
genus sensitivity ranking of Cottus from 3rd to 2nd,
which affected the estimate of the 5th percentile of the species
sensitivity distribution, which affected the intercept of the hardness-toxicity
equation, and which changed the cadmium final chronic value from 0.40 µg/L to
0.39 µg/L. Revision details follow.
Page 1: The eleventh sentence in paragraph 1: “The four most sensitive genera to chronic exposures were Hyalella (amphipod), Gammarus (amphipod), Cottus, and Salvelinus.” was replaced with: “The four most sensitive genera to chronic exposures were Hyalella (amphipod), Cottus, Gammarus (amphipod), and Salvelinus.”
Page
1: The last sentence in paragraph 1: “Likewise, the criterion continuous
concentration (CCC, or “chronic” criterion) was calculated as 0.38 μg/L
cadmium using the hardness-dependent equation CCC = (e(0.6247 x ln(hardness)-3.344)) x (1.101672 – ((ln
hardness) x 0.041838))).” Was replaced with: “Likewise, the criterion
continuous concentration (CCC, or “chronic” criterion) was calculated as 0.37
μg/L cadmium using the hardness-dependent equation CCC = (e(0.6247
x ln(hardness)-3.384)) x (1.101672 – ((ln
hardness) x 0.041838))).”
Page
17: The last sentence in paragraph 6: “The second most sensitive genus value
also was for an amphipod, Gammarus
fasciatus, followed by sculpin, Cottus,
and the trout Salvelinus (table 7).”
was replaced with: “The second most sensitive genus value was for a sculpin,
Cottus, followed by an amphipod, Gammarus
fasciatus, and the trout Salvelinus
(table 7).”
Page
22: The second sentence in paragraph 4: “Species mean ACRs were estimated for
17 species using 37 pairs of acute and chronic tests (table 6).” was replaced
with: “Species mean ACRs were estimated for 17 species using 38 pairs of acute
and chronic tests (table 6).”
Page
23: Table 6: Additional Cottus bairdi
data was inserted below row 24. Row 26: values for “Cottus bairdi” were revised.
Page
24: Table 6—continued, row 6: values for “Aggregate (FAV to FCV ratio)7”
were revised. “Final ACR8” value was revised.
Page
25: Table 7, Chronic ranking: Rankings 2 and 3 were reversed. The values for Cottus bairdi and Gammarus fasciatus were revised.
Page
28: Table 8, Final chronic value (FCV) section: Column headings GMAV (mg/L), ln GMAV, and (ln GMAV)2, were changed to GMCV (mg/L), ln GMCV, and (ln
GMCV)2. Rankings 2 and 3 were
reversed; values for Cottus (sculpin)
and some values for Gammarus
(amphipod) were revised. The GMCV “Sum” values were revised. The “Number of
GMCVs” values were revised. “FCV” value was revised.
Page
29: Fifth paragraph, last sentence: “CCC (mg/L
dissolved cadmium) = (e(0.6247 x
ln(hardness)-3.344)) x (1.101672 – ((ln hardness) x 0.041838)).” was
changed to “CCC (mg/L dissolved cadmium) = (e(0.6247 x ln(hardness)-3.384))
x (1.101672 – ((ln hardness) x 0.041838)).”
Page
30: Table 9, Chronic criteria derivation section: Values for “This report” in
the “Criterion value” columns were revised.
Page
55: Third paragraph, ninth and tenth sentences: “Under moderate or weak density
dependence, the computed extinction risks are lower than when density
dependence is included in the model. When available data sets are insufficient
for reconstructing reliable measurements of density dependence, conservative
estimates of extinction probabilities can be made from models that simply omit
density dependence (Ginzburg and others, 1990).” were changed to “Under
moderate or weak density dependence, the computed extinction risks are lower
when density dependence is included in the model. Therefore, when available
data sets are insufficient for reconstructing reliable measurements of density
dependence, conservative estimates of extinction probabilities can be made from
models that simply omit density dependence (Ginzburg and others, 1990).”
