propriate sensitive marine organisms in the 96-hour test period, or that produces another identifiable reliable physiological indicator of toxicity in such animals within the same time period.

227.72 Mixing zone.

A mixing zone is the column of water immediately contiguous to the release zone, beginning at the surface of the water and ending at the ocean floor, the thermocline or halocline, if one exists, or 20 meters, whichever is the shortest distance. $ 227.73 Release zone.

A release zone is the area swept out by the locus of points constantly 100 meters from the perimeter of the conveyance engaged in dumping activities, beginning at the first moment in which dumping is scheduled to occur and ending at the last moment in which dumping is scheduled to occur. § 227.74 Trace concentrations.

Trace concentrations, for the purposes of these regulations, are those concentrations in a waste of materials identified in § 227.22 which do not exceed by one order of magnitude the concentra

tion of the same constituent in a sample of natural seawater at the dumping site or in an adjacent area not subject to dumping. 8 227.75 High-level radioactive wastes.

High-level radioactive waste means the aqueous waste resulting from the operation of the first cycle solvent extraction system, or equivalent, and the concentrated waste from subsequent extraction cycles, or equivalent, in a facility for reprocessing irradiated reactor fuels or irradiated fuel from nuclear power reactors. $ 227.80 Amendment of criteria.
