External Review Draft, Evaluating
Ecological Risk to Invertebrate
Receptors From PAHs in Sediments at
Hazardous Waste Sites
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of public comment
period.
SUMMARY: EPA is announcing a 30-day
public comment period for the draft
document titled, ‘‘Evaluating Ecological
Risk to Invertebrate Receptors from
PAHs in Sediments at Hazardous Waste
Sites’’ (EPA/600/R–06/162). The
document was prepared by the
Ecological Risk Assessment Support
Center managed by the National Center
for Environmental Assessment within
EPA’s Office of Research and
Development.
EPA is releasing this draft document
solely for the purpose of pre-
dissemination peer review under
applicable information quality
guidelines. This document has not been
formally disseminated by EPA. It does
not represent and should not be

received by EPA by April 2, 2007.
ADDRESSES: The draft document,
‘‘Evaluating Ecological Risk to
Invertebrate Receptors from PAHs in
Sediments at Hazardous Waste Sites,’’ is
available primarily via the Internet on
the National Center for Environmental
Assessment’s home page under the
‘‘Recent Additions’’ and ‘‘Publications’’
menus at http://www.epa.gov/ncea. A
limited number of paper copies are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Information About the Project/
Document
U.S. EPA’s Ecological Risk
Assessment Support Center (ERASC) is
a knowledge center that provides
technical information and addresses
scientific questions on topics relevant to
ecological risk assessment at hazardous
waste sites for EPA’s Office of Solid
Waste and Emergency Response
(OSWER) and Regional Superfund/
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA) staff. Topics are submitted
to ERASC by users in EPA program
offices and regions. The ERASC is
managed by the Office of Research and
Development’s (ORD’s) National Center
for Environmental Assessment and is
located in Cincinnati, Ohio.
The ERASC recently completed an
external review draft document titled,
‘‘Evaluating Ecological Risk to
Invertebrate Receptors from PAHs in
Sediments at Hazardous Waste Sites.’’ It
provides an overview of an approach for
assessing risk to invertebrate receptors
PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\02MRN1.SGM
resulting from exposure to PAHs in
contaminated sediments. The approach,
based on procedures described in the
EPA document, Procedures for the
Derivation of Equilibrium Partitioning
Sediment Benchmarks (ESBs) for the
Protection of Benthic Organisms: PAH
Mixtures (EPA/600/R–02/013), involves
the use of equilibrium partitioning
techniques to determine exposure/
bioavailability and narcosis theory to
estimate sublethal toxicity of PAHs.
Examples of how to use this approach
with analytical data resulting from the
analysis of contaminated sediments are
provided. The approach offers risk
assessors a useful tool for assessing the
risk of PAHs to benthic invertebrates at
hazardous waste sites, particularly
when used with other contaminated
sediment assessment methods. The
External Review Draft only addresses
risks to benthic invertebrates because
reaching a consensus scientific position
on vertebrate risk issues is a longer-term
prospect.
