This document is written to aid in making decisions regarding the use of standardized aquatic and terrestrial acute bioassays at hazardous-chemical waste sites. Other types of bioassays, including those for use with receiving waters and in-situ testing, are not discussed. The use of acute bioassays at hazardous-chemical sites is explained and illustrated for use in the remedial-action process. Step-by-step guidelines are presented whereby decisions can be made concerning the design of site-specific bioassay studies.
