Significant adverse environmental effects

Significant adverse environmental effects means injury to the environment by a chemical substance which reduces or adversely affects the productivity, utility, value, or function of biological, commercial, or agricultural resources, or which may adversely affect a threatened or endangered species. A substance will be considered to have the potential for significant adverse environmental effects if it has one of the following:
(1) An acute aquatic EC50 of 1 mg/L or less.
(2) An acute aquatic EC50 of 20 mg/L or less where the ratio of aquatic vertebrate 24-hour to 48-hour EC50 is greater than or equal to 2.0.
(3) A Maximum Acceptable Toxicant Concentration (MATC) of less than or equal to 100 parts per billion (100 ppb).
(4) An acute aquatic EC50 of 20 mg/L or less coupled with either a measured bioconcentration factor (BCF) equal to or greater than 1,000x or in the absence of bioconcentration data a log P value equal to or greater than 4.3.
