This document represents the May 2007 Progress Report for the Reach D Pilot Correction
Project (PCAP).

During the period of April 20, 2007 through May 20, 2007, the following project activities have
taken place (item numbers refer to those outlined in the attached Gantt Chart):

Regulatory Submittals/Activities
ITEM 4: The geophysical contractor completed post-processing of data for the Reach D
Project site. A summary report provided by Tetra Tech is included as Attachment A.
ITEM 6/7: Results of chemistry testing on samples collected by ATS and their subcontractors
at several locations outside the flume sheet piling and from natural soils beneath the
anthropogenic Reach D deposit are included in Table 1.
MDEQ-WMD and URS staff discussed and came to an agreement on means to collect
additional data from natural soils beneath the Reach D anthropogenic deposit in the area
between the Railroad Bridge and the Dow Dam. These samples were obtained and results
are presented in Table 2. Data from original characterization work are included for reference
in Table 3. A description of results and a summary of findings are included as Attachment B.
ITEM 16: Pore water data collected from a temporary well screened within the impacted
sediment was summarized and submitted to the MDEQ-Water Bureau on April 30, 2007.
Initial dewatering pilot testing was completed. Laboratory testing was completed and results
were summarized and provided to the MDEQ-Water Bureau on May 8, 2007, for dewatering
pilot study water quality. These data are being used by the MDEQ-Water Bureau during its
review of the NPDES Permit modification request made by Dow.
ITEM 19: Development of the Semi-Permeable Membrane Device (SPMD) Study was
completed, with a summary of the proposed study included in this submittal;
ITEM 29: Dow submitted the Permit To Install to the MDEQ-Air Quality Division on May
3, 2007.
ITEM 32: The MDEQ approved the Permit To Install Construction Waiver on May 4, 2007.
ITEM 36: The Fugitive Dust Control Plan was submitted by Dow and approved by the
MDEQ during this reporting period.
ITEM 38: The Ambient Air Monitoring Program was near completion, due for submittal to
the MDEQ on May 21st.
ITEM 41: As part of mobilization activities, a Soil Erosion Permit for the project was
received from the City of Midland on April 26, 2007.

 Pre-Construction Activities
Activities conducted during this period included the following:
ITEM 18: Receipt and acceptance of the dredging contractors Health and Safety Plan
(HASP);
ITEM 41: Initial mobilization activities included Dow contractor safety training and
orientation; and the ordering and delivery of sheet piling and HDPE pipe
ITEM 42: Some site preparation activities began under the auspices of the Permit To Install
Construction Waiver. These activities included the initiation of HDPE dredge line fusion on
May 10, 2007.
Test piles were driven on May 3rd and 4th to support the final sheet piling design. It is
noteworthy that as part of this design process, two subsurface water pipelines (30” and 36”
diameter) were identified in Reach D. This discovery has instigated a substantial amount of
unforeseen work that will be necessary to properly design the sheet piling system. This work
includes additional excavations, underwater inspections by divers, pipeline isolation
requirements, and contingency plan development.
Final design of the Geotube containment facility was complete. Final drawings are included
in this submittal for MDEQ review.
Dow received approval from the MDEQ on May 7th to begin construction of the Geotube
Containment Facility. Mobilization by the construction contractor began shortly thereafter,
with construction due to begin before the end of this reporting period.
Equipment for installation of the temporary sheet piling also began during this reporting
period, with construction also projected to begin before the end of this reporting period. Site
preparation construction activities are contingent on weather and ground conditions.

Items to Be Completed In the Next 30 Days

Dow anticipates submitting the Land and Water Management Permit Modification request.
From a construction perspective, Dow hopes to have construction completed on the HDPE
dredge line (with integrity testing), construction of the temporary sheet piling should be
complete, and construction of the Containment Facility is expected to be ongoing.
Follow-up sampling will be completed outside the 1939 flume sheet piling to confirm
preliminary findings.
In addition to the above activities, Dow is proposing a study to monitor chemical residues in the
Tittabawassee River using semi-permeable membrane devices (SPMDs). When placed in an
aquatic environment, SPMDs passively accumulate hydrophobic organic compounds, such as
polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs), polychlorinated
benzenes, and other hydrophobic chemicals. Contaminants are passively accumulated in the
SPMDs in a manner similar to their bioconcentration in fish lipid, however the SPMDs provide
significant advantages over caged fish.

2 of 3
The objective of this study is to examine the time-integrated presence of selected chlorinated
organic chemicals in the water of the Tittabawassee River as measured by uptake in SPMDs.
The specific Tittabawassee River site location targeted for this monitoring study will be
upstream and downstream of Reach D, located near the Dow Dam. A summary of the proposed
study is presented as Attachment D.

Because this monitoring project is focused on gathering background river data on selected
chemicals, and sediment dredging and removal is scheduled to begin in mid-July 2007, this study
must be initiated no later than early June, contingent on the issuance of all necessary permits.

1 Overview
The following document describes a survey which was conducted for Ann Arbor Technical
Services (ATS), Ann Arbor, MI, by Tetra Tech EC, Inc (TtEC), in April, 2007, under contract
32907. The primary survey equipment included a multibeam sonar system, sub-bottom profilers
(SBP), sidescan sonar, and associated vessel navigation and attitude measurement equipment.
These systems were used to map site bathymetry and characterize the river bottom and
subbottom conditions to support sediment studies and potential remediation actions. Table 1-1
lists the personnel and their roles in the survey.

2.2 Device Offsets

Device offsets are precisely defined for the multibeam sonar, attitude sensor and GPS antenna, so
that the Hypack/HySweep acquisition software can accurately convert the input sonar and
support sensor data into XYZ soundings on the earth.

2.2.1 Hypack/Hysweep Offsets

The following offsets, in feet, were used for the Hypack and HySweep sensors:

2.5 GPS Reference Station

At the time of the mobilization, the only pre-defined high quality survey control point in the area
was the National Geodetic Survey (NGS) FREELAND (PID OK0006) Primary Airport Control
Station located at the Tri-City International Airport. The NGS Data Sheet for this control is
provided in Appendix A.

Since no national or state agency control points were available in locations suitable for setting up
a RTK base station, the NGS Online Positioning User Service (OPUS) was used to establish
geodetic control points. Wade-Trim, a local survey company, provided two locations where they
had previously determined coordinates using RTK GPS. An RTK capable GPS was set up over
the points for a period of approximately 2 hours, throughout this period data were recorded. The
data were then transferred to NGS OPUS via the internet for processing. Based on this data NGS
OPUS provided the reports included in Appendix A, which were used for Reach D control.
Additional OPUS points were established for quality control (QC) purposes.

Table 2-5 presents the NGS control and OPUS points that were utilized and established.

All OPUS points were subsequently checked with an RTK GPS rover system receiving
corrections from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Continuously Operating
Reference Station (CORS) system. The overall system of reference stations, processing center
and communications links is referred to as the Michigan Spatial Reference Network (MSRN).
Table 2-6 shows the results of the QC checks performed on the Overlook Park OPUS point used
as the location for the base station.

3 Bathymetry Results
The results from the multibeam bathymetry survey are shown in Figure 3-1 and in Appendix B.
The sonar used for the survey was a RESON SeaBat 8125, which provides a 1 degree beam
along track and a 0.5 across track beam at nadir. This system provides extremely high resolution
data which, when used in conjunction with comparable accuracy motion, heading and position
sensors, can show very fine detail in the morphology of the bottom and in the structure of man-
made objects, such as the sheetpile walls in the reach.

Several significant features are visible in the bathymetry in Reach D.

a. There appears to be a pipeline or similar structure crossing the river at approximately

station 52+75.
b. The high energy sections of the river channel have sediment waves with heights of up to
approximately 1 foot, as shown in Figure 3-2. Lower energy areas have correspondingly
less vertical structure. This indicates that the sediment heights may change significantly
over time.
c. The water flow has induced scour (i.e. sediment erosion) of approximately 3 to 4 ft
around the center channel supports for the Dow bridges within Reach D, as shown in
Figure 3-3.
d. The intake basin shows some ripple in the bottom that is the result of data artifacts.
These ripples are on the order of 0.05 to 0.15 feet and are most likely induced by the
motion sensor. While these small effects are within the heave measurement (high
frequency vertical displacements) accuracy specifications, the visualization software and
the data resolution make them more apparent.

4 Sub-Bottom Profile Results
An Edgetech 3100-P portable sub-bottom profiler, with swept frequencies, from 4 to 24 kHz,
transducer, was run concurrently with the multibeam sonar. This system operates at a low
frequency capable of penetrating bottom sediment and returning data that provides information
related to manmade and/or geologic structures on or underlying the river bottom. The depth to
which the system will operate and provide data is a function of the sonar frequency and the
characteristics of the material in the sub-bottom.

The 3100-P system consists of a towfish with in-water transducers and hydrophone receivers and
a shipboard processing system that received digital data from the towfish. For this project the
SB-424 towfish was suspended in a fixed position just forward of the bow along the port side of
the survey vessel (Figure 2-3) to enable data collection in very shallow water, as well as provide
the best possible positional data that fixed mounting offers. This same mount was adapted and
used for the SB-216 (Figure 4-1) during data collection on May 14. A small inflatable catamaran
was used to support the larger and heavier SB-216 towfish.

An acoustic pulse was generated by the transducers and acoustic reflections from the river sub-
bottom were received by the hydrophones. Data were transmitted via cable from the towfish to
the shipboard processing system workstation running Edgetech’s Discover software. The
processing system logged the return pulse signals and processed the data into time-based cross
sections of the acoustic response of the sub-bottom. By inputting the speed of sound measured at
the site (as determined with a Seabird SBE-19, 1427 ft/sec used) the time sections were
converted into pseudo-depth sections. Data were displayed as pseudo-depth cross sections of
acoustic response with time on a computer screen and logged to computer hard drive and then
transferred and archived to external data storage for permanent storage and later post-processing.

Figure 4-2 shows the only data collected behind the sheet pile wall to show any structure
(collected April 6th). Approximately three layers are discernable to a maximum depth of about
2.5 ft below the bottom. These layers were not compared to core data, but at 2.5 feet below the
bottom, it is not believed that the data extends to the ‘native’ material below the sediment
deposited in the flume. The bottom layer appears to have a gravel component while the
overlying sediment appears to be soft, fine grained material.

Data was collected with the more powerful, and lower frequency SB-216 on May 14th within the
flume area in Reach D. The results were no better than with the SB-424. The one file that spans
the largest area within the flume is presented in Figure 4-3. The May 14th SB-216 data were
colleted at approximately the same river stage as during the April 6th SB-424 data collection.

Figure 4-4 shows a representative sample of the SBP data collected during the survey outside of
the flume area. This survey line was in the main river channel and shows a clearly defined layer
below the existing river bottom. The blue surface is the under side of the digital terrain model
created from the bathymetry (within the IVS Fledermaus software). Data from within the water
intake basin does not show this layering.

Summary of Natural Sub-Grade Soils Evaluation – Reach D Project

May 20, 2007

Background

The Reach D Project Characterization Plan was submitted to MDEQ-Waste Management

Division (WMD) on March 19, 2007. That characterization plan indicated both shore-
based and land-based sampling activities to complete characterization of the project area.
Initial Reach D shore-based characterization samples collected March 12 and 13, 2007.
These data defined the contaminated deposit beneath the rip-rap material, and described
the level of contaminants present or absent in the sub-grade soils immediately beneath the
contamination. Results were presented to MDEQ April 2, 2007. Based on discussions at
that meeting, MDEQ requested that additional data be obtained to further describe
residual levels of contamination in the natural subgrade. MDEQ-WMD and URS staff
discussed means to collect additional data from natural soils beneath the Reach D
anthropogenic deposit in locations between the two bridges and in the area between the
railroad bridge and the Dow Dam. Data obtained north of the two bridges was deemed
sufficient.

River-based sampling was completed by ATS and their sub-contractors on April 10 and
11, 2007. These samples included sub-grade samples from beneath the anthropogenic
deposit between and south of the two bridges. A total of ten samples were able to be
tested for at least a partial list of the contaminants of concern. Results are summarized in
Table 1.

Methods

Follow-up shore-based sampling was conducted by URS and their sub-contractors on

April 19 and 20, 2007. This work included three additional soil borings with the purpose
of obtaining data from natural soils beneath the anthropogenic Reach D deposit. Fifteen
soil samples were obtained from these soil borings. Results are presented in Table 2.

Samples were subjected to testing to determine total concentrations of target list

constituents (those listed in Section 3.1.1 of the Reach D Characterization Plan). In
addition, R 299.5722 and RRD Operational Memorandum No. 2 – Attachment 2 (Soil
Leaching Methods) allows that leach testing can be used if soil concentrations exceed the
applicable generic criteria (presented in R 299.5746). R 299.5722(3) specifically
indicates that methods of leaching should be similar to those expected in the field. A
conservative test method (EPA method 1311, Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Protocol)
was selected to be more conservative than this approach to determine if the natural soils
would leach, even under acidic conditions. This approach was deemed to be
conservative, as acidic conditions are not present at the site, nor are they likely to occur in

the future. Summary Tables present the results of leach testing, a full listing of leach
testing is provided as Attachment C to the May 2007 Reach D Monthly Progress Report.

Discussion

River-based Sampling
River-based sampling efforts inside of the flume were able to collect samples of the
natural clay soil layer just beneath the anthropogenic Reach D deposit. Samples RD-
51+00-IC-40, RD-51+50-IC-33, and RD-52+50-IC-20 (shown on Figure 1) are samples
of silty clay found beneath the anthropogenic deposit. Total soil concentrations from
these samples are all well below the MDEQ Generic Residential Groundwater Surface
Water Interface Criterion (GSI) for soil. Conservative leach testing showed leaching
under extreme conditions only in one sample. Detection limits for tetrachloroethene and
chlorobenzene were elevated too high in the samples to determine if the soils would leach
under these extreme conditions. Although no site-specific criterion for surface water
sediments has been specified under R 299.5730, these are soils beneath the river and
samples were well below the Generic soil GSI criterion, the data support completing the
removal action of the anthropogenic deposit, down to the elevation of the natural soils.

River-based sampling efforts were limited in the amount of information that could be
obtained. The presence of gravel and stiff clays minimized the ability to collect sufficient
samples to allow analysis in several locations. Several samples were attempted outside
the flume sheet piling, but were unable to obtain sufficient quantities of sediment for
testing. Samples from coring location RD-49+75-IC-45 (shown on Figure 1) from depths
ranging from 0.8 to 4.0 feet were not able to recover sufficient sample to allow testing for
volatile or semi-volatile compounds. A maximum estimated TEQ of 4,300 ppt was
detected from this set of samples. This coring was taken prior to results of high-resolution
bathymetry survey and it appears that this sample may have been obtained inside the
1939 flume sheet piling.

Samples from coring location RD-51+25-IC-50 were made down to a depth of 1.5 feet
using hand sampling tools from a floating platform by the River-based sampling crew.
Evidence of contamination from these samples was not identified.

Additional sampling is planned to occur at the time of this submittal in this are to confirm
the findings in samples from coring location RD-49+75-IC-45, and provide additional
data to evaluate the preliminary conclusion that contamination does not extend beyond
the 1939 flume sheet piling wall.

Shore-based Sample Results

Results from initial shore-based characterization are provided in Table 3 for comparison.

The shore-based sampling results indicate that the constituents of concern are present at
vastly lower concentrations than in the anthropogenic deposit above them. In addition,
although no site-specific criterion for surface water sediments has been specified under R

mdc Page 2
The Dow Chemical Company Reach D Project
Michigan Operations

299.5730, none of the natural soil samples (in Tables 2 and 3) contained concentrations
of the constituents of concern above MDEQ Generic Residential soil GSI criterion.
Three of the fifteen additional soil samples were able to be leached at levels above the
Generic GSI groundwater criterion using the conservative leach testing. Because these
soil samples were well below the Generic soil GSI criterion, the data support completing
the removal action of the anthropogenic deposit down to the elevation of the natural soils.

Conclusion

Removal of the natural sub-grade soils is not necessary, as the soil data are not above
MDEQ Part 201 Generic Residential Groundwater Surface Water Interface Criterion.
Leach testing, as allowed (but not specifically required) by R 299.5722 and RRD
Operational Memorandum No. 2 – Attachment 2 (Soil Leaching Methods) results
conservatively show that risk of discharge from the natural soils beneath the
anthropogenic Reach D deposit (after its removal) will be below allowable levels.

River-based sampling completed thus far has been problematic in that an insufficient
number of samples have been able to be tested for the constituents of concern. As stated
above, additional sampling is planned to occur at the time of this submittal to confirm the
findings in samples from coring location RD-49+75-IC-45, and provide additional data to
evaluate the preliminary conclusion that contamination does not extend beyond the 1939
flume sheet piling wall.

Monitoring of Chemical Residues in the Tittabawassee River Using Semi-Permeable

Membrane Devices (SPMDs)
Monitoring of Chemical Residues in the Tittabawassee River Using Semi-Permeable
Membrane Devices (SPMDs)

K.B. Woodburn, Toxicology, Environmental Research & Consulting,

1803 Building, The Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI

INTRODUCTION

Semipermeable membrane devices (SPMDs) are passive sampling devices consisting of a

tubular low-density polyethylene membrane containing a thin film of a high-molecular
weight lipid (triolein). When placed in an aquatic environment, SPMDs passively
accumulate hydrophobic organic compounds, such as polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins
and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs), polychlorinated benzenes, and other hydrophobic
chemicals. SPMDs have been proposed as an alternative or a complement to traditional
bioaccumulation studies for assessing the levels of bioavailable hydrophobic organic
contaminants in aquatic environments [1-4]. Contaminants are passively accumulated in
the SPMDs in a manner similar to their bioconcentration in fish lipid [2]. The advantages
of SPMDs over the use of fish include: (a) they do not require feeding; (b) they do not
cannibalize one another or die from disease, predation, or lack of oxygen in the water; (c)
they will not move around or escape; (d) they are incapable of the metabolism and
depuration of hydrophobic chemicals that occurs in natural organisms, including fish; and
(e) they offer a simple, reproducible matrix for accumulating organic chemicals that is
relatively insensitive to differences in water quality [5-8]. Disadvantages of SPMDs
include differential accumulation of some compounds when compared to fish [9, 10].
Gale et al. [10] compared 28-day accumulated concentrations of PCDDs/PCDFs in caged
channel catfish (Icatalurus punctatus) and SPMDs in tributaries of the Saginaw River,
Michigan. These researchers observed SPMD/whole catfish ratio concentrations of
PCDDs/PCDFs ranging from 0.5 to 15.1 in samples from the Tittabawassee River and
comparable ratios of 0.5 to 22.0 for various congeners in SPMD/fish located in the
Shiawassee River. The authors confirmed the practicality of SPMDs to assess the
bioavailability of these contaminants in water. The authors concluded that “SPMDs
demonstrated the utility of in-situ passive sampling over inference of water
concentrations from accumulation in biota or partitioning with sediment” [10].

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study is to examine the time-integrated presence of selected

chlorinated organic chemicals in the water of the Tittabawassee River, as measured by
uptake in SPMDs. Locations both upstream and downstream of the Dow Chemical
industrial site in Midland, MI will be studied. The specific Tittabawassee River site
location targeted for this monitoring study will be upstream and downstream of Reach D,
located near the Dow Dam. Sediment dredging and removal is scheduled to begin in
mid-July 2007 and this monitoring project is focused on gathering background river data
on selected chemicals.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Test Device
The test device for this study will be the SPMD, available from Environmental Sampling
Technologies (EST) of St. Joseph, MO (1717 Commercial Drive, St. Joseph, MO 64503,
phone: 816-232-8860). The compounds of interest are selected chlorinated organic
substances that may be present in Reach D sediment and potentially released into the
water column; a list of these chemicals and their respective limits of detection (LOD) are
presented in Table 1.

Deployment or protection devices may also be used, if necessary, to ensure the integrity
of the SPMDs during study conduct. Each deployment device will contain one or more
SPMD, as needed, to obtain the desired or target chemical quantitation levels detailed in
Table 1. Each individual SPMD weighs approximately 4.58 g and contains 20% lipid, or
~0.915 g (1 mL) of triolein; two SPMDs constitute approximately 9.2 g total weight and
will be used as a single SPMD sample, as this mass is roughly equivalent to the mass of
fish tissue (10 g) generally analyzed in fish studies conducted on the Tittabawassee River.
The standard SPMDs are 2.5 cm wide x 90 cm long low density polyethylene tubes (70-
95 µm wall thickness), for a total surface area of ~450 cm2 or approximately 100 cm2/g-
SPMD. High purity (>95%) triolein will be used in the SPMDs from EST. SPMD
calibration data are generally based on the weight of the standard SPMD [9].

Experimental Design and Sampling

The length of the exposure will be from 20 to 40 days, targeting near 28 days, depending
on weather conditions and the timing of dredging activities on the river. A total of 12
SPMDs will be placed at each sampling site (4 replicate SPMDs at 3 sites per location),
to allow for an examination of the variability of accumulated residues at each sampling
location.

At the termination of exposure, the SPMDs will be shipped to EST in St. Joseph, MO for
extraction. One or more background or control SPMDs will be handled and analyzed at
study initiation to identify any background chemical residues that may be present during
the handling process. We will also have one or more newly-opened SPMDs extracted by
EST at the termination of the exposure period. This allows Dow to monitor any chemical
residues introduced into SPMDs by the overall EST-extraction process. All extracts will
be returned to Dow for chemical residue analysis.

Sampling Locations/Types and Number of Samples

There will be a total of four sample locations at which groups of SPMDs will be located;
the approximate sampling locations are shown on the map in Figure 1. The first site
(Location A) will be upstream of the Reach D location on the Tittabawassee River, just
downstream of the former location of Building 47 at Dow, near the site of the new
baseball diamond in Midland. Twelve SPMDs (4 reps x 3 locations across the river) will
be present. The remaining three sites will be:
• at Reach D (Location B) – four SPMDs within the sheet pile wall and four
SPMDs just outside the wall (total of eight SPMDs);
• immediately downstream of Reach D (Location C), just downriver of the Dow
 Dam; twelve SPMDs (4 reps x 3 locations across the river) will be present;
• approximately 1-1.5 miles downstream of the Dow Dam and within the Dow
industrial site (Location D), just upstream of Dow’s wastewater 031 Outfall;
twelve SPMDs (4 reps x 3 locations across the river) will be present.

Except for Location B, where eight SPMDs will be used, twelve SPMDs will be placed at
each sampling location to help quantify the variability of accumulated residues; a total of
44 samples (with two SPMDs/sample or ~9.2 g/sample) will be needed for all sites. The
SPMDs will be placed in deployment cages for protection and attached to anchored poles
in the river to allow for a constant exposure location. The anchoring sites will be
approximately one foot (12”) or more off the bottom of the river.

At each location, on the terminal day of exposure, Tittabawassee River water samples
will be taken to analyze for constituents with water detection levels noted in Table 1;
specifically, the water samples will be analyzed for chlorobenzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene,
1,4-dichlorobenzene, 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, and hexachlorobutadiene. The water
sampling volume will be a minimum of 1-L for analytes analyzed as semi-volatile
compounds and 40-mL for analytes analyzed as volatile compounds. The sampling will
be in done in triplicate at each of the four locations for a total of 12 water samples. The
water samples will be taken in general accordance with a standard operating procedure
(SOP) regarding the collection of depth-integrated, aqueous samples from streams and
rivers not more than 15 feet in depth [11].

Chemical Analyses
SPMDs will be extracted by EST and returned to Dow for final analysis. The analytical
method for PCDD/PCDF analysis will be based on the U.S. EPA Method 1613B [12],
which involves isotope dilution methodology, purification by classical liquid
chromatography, and final analysis by high-resolution gas chromatography/high
resolution mass spectrometry (HRGC–HRMS). The remaining analytes in the SPMDs
will be determined by other methods, such as isotope dilution methodology, and some
purification prior to gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) analysis or other
appropriate analytical methods. Details of all analytical techniques will be provided in
the final study report.

River Conditions
Tittabawassee River water flow conditions, such as water flow and river gage height, will
be obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) web page, available at:
http://waterdata.usgs.gov/mi/nwis/uv/?site_no=04156000&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060 . Data on
Tittabawassee River gage height (feet) and streamflow (ft3/second or cfs) will be
collected daily over the exposure period. The USGS monitoring station on the
Tittabawassee River is located at Lat 43°35'43", Long 84°14'08", in NW1/4 NE1/4
sec.28, T.14 N., R.2 E., Midland County, Hydrologic Unit 04080201, on right bank 2,000
ft downstream from dam at Dow Chemical Co. in Midland, 0.7 mi upstream from
Bullock Creek, 1.4 mi downstream from Chippewa River, and 23 mi upstream from river
mouth.
USGS data on Tittabawassee River mean water flow per day are presented in Figure 2.
Average peak flow is generally in late March, while minimum flow is in mid-August; the
average flow for June is approximately 1,000 to 2,000 cfs. Collectively, the USGS data
may be used to characterize river conditions during the study and to allow for any follow-
up monitoring study to be evaluated against the river conditions at the time of the SPMD
exposures. Other water quality parameters, such as temperature, pH, alkalinity, etc., may
be available from the Dow Wastewater Treatment Plant and recorded in the data file for
the exposure dates.

Statistics
The stated objective of the study is to determine the time-integrated residues of certain
bioaccumulative chemicals in the Tittabawassee River over a several week timeframe.
As noted previously, the SPMD is not an accurate representation of a fish, but is a useful
tool to determine the environmental presence of aqueous hydrophobic chemicals.
Consequently, accumulated residues of compounds in SPMDs can not be compared to
accumulated fish chemical residues observed in previous Dow biouptake studies.
Individual chemical residue values, averages, standard deviations, and 95% confidence
limits will be reported for each sampling site location.
