"† = Toxic: Microtox EC50 <0.5 if silt-clay < 20% , <0.2 if silt-clay > 20% (Ringwood et al., 1997, criterion #6); Seed Clam Assay < 80% of mean ",,,,,,,,,,,,
      sediment control growth and less than 95% Lower Confidence Limit (LCL),,,,,,,,,,,,
"Asterisk represents number of analytes that exceed Effects Range Low (ER-L) guidelines (Long et al., 1995).",,,,,,,,,,,,
** = No data due to low clam growth in controls,,,,,,,,,,,,
"      =  Values exceed threshold representing moderate risk of benthic impacts (Hyland et al., 1999).",,,,,,,,,,,,
