Two <br />full suite samples have been taken but only one set of laboratory results are available <br />at this time. A demonstration of acute WET occurred during the routine fourth quarter <br />1997 test sampled on December 16"'. Bear conducted accelerated testing using the <br />single species found to be more sensitive (Ceriodaphnia dubia). Two accelerated tests <br />were performed on C. dubia. The first test was completed on January 5"' and the <br />second test was completed on January 11, 1998. Neither test indicated the effluent <br />was toxic to C. dubia. Since two consecutive tests passed, no pattern of toxicity is <br />found and the toxicity episode is considered to be ended. <br />Please call if you have any questions. <br />Consulting Engineer <br />Sincere~ly~j~~ <br />~C ad' w~~ <br />J.
