(a) Battelle developed reference threshold concentrations for PCBs in San
th
Francisco Bay as part of the validation study (Battelle, 2003). The 90
percentile value for total PCBs was approximately 69 µg/kg dry wt. This
value represents a “background” concentration for PCBs in invertebrate
tissues in the bay. This value is converted to wet weight using the conversion
factor of 80% moisture for clam tissue and used as the benchmark for the
ESTCP DP.
