Long-term Rainfall Analysis at Select DoD-relevant Sites for the Determination of Appropriate Toxicity Exposure Durations

Abstract

This document details analyses conducted on historical rainfall data at numerous locations across the United States in order to develop site-specific recommendations for exposure durations for laboratory toxicity testing specifically for assessment of stormwater discharges. If applied properly, a modification to generate more realistic exposure conditions for toxicity testing will still provide an appropriate level of protection, particularly given that the exposure at the end-of-pipe will be further reduced once it mixes in the receiving environment.
