This briefing paper (Briefing Paper #5) reports laboratory mesocosm studies assessing mercury (THg) availability, mobility, and methylation in South River sediments from RRM 3.5 and 11.8. It describes baseline methods, addition of Tubifex tubifex, porewater DGT measurements, redox profiling, and preliminary 2013 results showing relatively uniform porewater THg (~800–1000 ng/L) and differing redox behavior across sediment types.

Review Notes :
Document date set to 2013-09-18 based on the table labeled 'Updated: 9/18/2013' inside the PDF. Chose 'Progress Report' because the text describes ongoing baseline experiments and preliminary results rather than a final report. No formal publication date or report number beyond 'Briefing Paper #5' was explicitly provided.
