Methods- Aquatic Vegetation• Previous field efforts identified areas with emergent vegetation
• Three locations total per river reach
• One sample each for emergent and shoreline vegetation locations
• Sampled using ceramic scissors• Emergent sampled above
water-air interface
• Shipped frozen to Pace Analytical® for:- 26 metals and metalloids- % Moisture

Results- Aquatic Emergent Vegetation• All data considered “draft” • Represents ranges within each river mile• Error bars are standard error• Selenium: all non-detects or flagged as estimates

Results- Aquatic Shoreline Vegetation• All data considered “draft” • Represents ranges within each river mile• Error bars are standard error• Selenium: all non-detects Arsenic: 25% detected; 85% estimates

Periphyton (a.k.a. biofilms/aufwuchs)
“All organisms attached to submerged substrates.”
-Weitzel 1979
Includes:-Diatoms and non diatom algae-Protozoans-Bacteria-Zooplankton
All embedded in an extracellular matrix
Affected by:Light TurbidityMetals NutrientsTemperature Substrate-type

Methods-Periphyton
• Total of 3 weeks for sufficient growth • All three periphytometers scraped• One composite per 3
periphytometers
• Shipped frozen to Pace Analytical®
• Analyzed for: -26 metals and metalloids-% moisture

EF= 12,960 (water= .0003mg/L; periphyton average= 4.3 mg/kg)
Estimated at 4 orders of magnitude higher Comparable to typical selenium bioconcentration levels for primary producers Demonstrates importance in monitoring ecological receptors to estimate risk in the river system
Periphyton -> Mayfly TTF = 1.6Comparable to other studies with 1.9 – 4.7 occurring in
impacted areas or laboratory exposures(Chapman et al. 2010, Conley et al. 2009, Muscatello et al. 2009)
