Ecological Benchmarks File (EBF)
The Ecological Benchmarks File output can be found within the GID file. The GID file section contains chemical benchmarks for aquatic organisms. Each EBF producing database module must format its output to match the specifications of the GID file. One and only one EBF database specification can exist per site within the GID file. There are two parts within the specification, one contains the database owners specific parameters and the other contains the specification parameters below.
