Cancer subsistence-level doses were calculated using the following formula:
dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.065 kg/day×365 days/year×30 years)/(70 kg×(365 days/year×70 years))
Cancer recreational-level doses were calculated using the following formula:
dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.008 kg/day×365 days/year×30 years)/(70 kg×(365 days/year×70 years))
The second-tier screening concentrations are rounded.
conc. = concentration
ND = not detected
EFPC = East Fork Poplar Creek
ppm = parts per million
mg/kg/day = milligram per kilogram per day
Unknown aquatic = "unknown aquatic animal"

Noncancer subsistence-level doses were calculated using the following formulas:
child dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.02 kg/day×365 days/year×6 years)/(13 kg×(365 days/year×6 years))
adult dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.065 kg/day×365 days/year×30 years)/(70 kg×(365 days/year×30 years))
Noncancer recreational-level doses were calculated using the following formulas:
child dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.003 kg/day×365 days/year×6 years)/(13 kg×(365 days/year×6 years))
adult dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.008 kg/day×365 days/year×30 years)/(70 kg×(365 days/year×30 years))
The second-tier screening concentrations are rounded.
CMRL = chronic minimal risk level (ATSDR)
conc. = concentration
IMRL = intermediate minimal risk level (ATSDR)
mg/kg/day = milligram per kilogram per day
ND = not detected
ppm = parts per million
RfD = reference dose (EPA)

Noncancer subsistence-level doses were calculated using the following formulas:
child dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.02 kg/day×365 days/year×6 years)/(13 kg×(365 days/year×6 years))
adult dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.065 kg/day×365 days/year×30 years)/(70 kg×(365 days/year×30 years))
Noncancer recreational-level doses were calculated using the following formulas:
child dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.003 kg/day×365 days/year×6 years)/(13 kg×(365 days/year×6 years))
adult dose = (second-tier screening concentration×0.008 kg/day×365 days/year×30 years)/(70 kg×(365 days/year×30 years))
The second-tier screening concentrations are rounded.
CMRL = chronic minimal risk level (ATSDR)
conc. = concentration
IMRL = intermediate minimal risk level (ATSDR)
mg/kg/day = milligram per kilogram per day
ND = not detected
ppm = parts per million
RfD = reference dose (EPA)
spp = species
WBR = Watts Bar Reservoir
Unknown = "unknown aquatic animal"
