Appendix 5. Comparison of median constituent concentrations and detections between Phase I and Phase II of the MMSD Corridor Study. [mg/L, milligram per liter; mg/m3, milligram per cubic meter; CFU/100ml, colony-forming unit per 100 milliliters; µg/g, microgram per gram; mg/kg, milligram per kilogram; PCB, polychlorinated biphenyl; EPT, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera; HBI, Hilsenhoff Biotic Index; µg/L, microgram per liter; --, no data; RL, concentrations were below reporting limit; *, fewer than 50 individual fish were collected, so the Wisconsin warmwater Index of Biotic Integrity should not be used (Lyons, 1992)]
1 Three of the Phase II sites sampled were in the Lower Milwaukee River Subwatershed. Comparisons could be drawn individually between each site and the Phase I subwatershed; however, for the discussion in the text, these three sites were not considered adequately representative of that subwatershed due to their location and the size and complexity of the subwatershed. Comparisons of these sites to the subwatershed were omitted when discussing overall trends between Phase I and Phase II data in the text; however, contamination of this subwatershed with synthetic organic contaminants (especially PCBs) was well documented and was discussed in general terms using the data from the Milwaukee River at Milwaukee site. 2 Values given as median concentrations. Appendix 5. Comparison of median constituent concentrations and detections between Phase I and Phase II of the MMSD Corridor Study—Continued. [mg/L, milligram per liter;
mg/m3, milligram per cubic meter; CFU/100ml, colony-forming unit per
100 milliliters; µg/g, microgram per gram; mg/kg, milligram per kilogram; PCB,
polychlorinated biphenyl; EPT, Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera; HBI,
Hilsenhoff Biotic Index; µg/L, microgram per liter; --, no data;
RL, concentrations were below reporting limit; *, fewer than 50 individual
fish were collected, so the Wisconsin warmwater Index of Biotic Integrity
should not be used (Lyons, 1992)]
