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 predissemination peer review under 

applicable information quality

submitted in accordance with this 

notice when revising the document. 

DATES: The 30-day public comment 

period begins March 2, 2007, and ends 

April 2, 2007. Technical comments 

should be in writing and must 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

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 

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.
