The study plan outlines work elements and methodology for conducting both field experiments and aquatic toxicity testing using a natural-gas-produced water disposed via stream discharge. The goal of the study is to examine relationships between laboratory toxicity testing and actual instream exposure experiments and develop a procedure for analyzing environmental effects from and control options for discharge of produced waters. Produced waters originating from coalbed methane development were selected for examination because of their relatively low dissolved solids content and the permitted disposal practices of stream discharge and land application.
