Two zip files contain paired biological (benthic macroinvertebrate genera) (Data Biological.zip)  and water quality data (Data Environmental.zip).  These were used to estimate background specific conductivity from these state data and estimate the HC05 using the field based extirpation concentration method (USEPA 2011).  \nThe zipped files (Griffith ion MG20150729) contains two csv miles with ions summaries and ion and specific conductivity data from the combined EPA survey data. \n\nThis dataset is associated with the following publication:\nCormier, S., L.
