(b) Environmental endpoints for eutrophication include, but are not limited to those indicating: excessive plant growth; hypoxia; or changes in species composition following the release of excess nutrients or substances increasing the availability of nutrients.

(c) Other relevant data include but are not limited to modeling to predict the impact of chemicals on nutrient levels and plant growth in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems.
