The toxicity threshold benchmark is the geometric mean of the Draft Freshwater Sediment Benchmarks by USEPA Region (USEPA
compilation; February 12, 2004 draft; received from Marc Greenberg on September 16, 2004). Benchmarks that were expressed on
an organic carbon (OC) normalized basis were converted to a dry weight basis at 1% OC before calculating the geometric mean.

The toxicity threshold benchmark is the geometric mean of the Draft Marine Sediment Benchmarks by USEPA Region (USEPA com-
pilation; July 9, 2003 draft; received from Marc Greenberg on September 16, 2004). Benchmarks that were expressed on an OC
normalized basis were converted to a dry weight basis at 1% OC before calculating the geometric mean.
