Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. No further surface water quality degradation which would interfere with or become injurious to these existing uses is allowable. B. Surface waters whose existing quality exceeds levuls necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water shall be maintained and protected unless and until the Council finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions contained in the document 'Revised Contiuing Planning Process for Hater Quality Management', dated June 1981, that allowing lower quality is necessary to accommodate important economic and social development in the area in which the waters are located. In no event, however, may degradation of surface water quality interfere with or become injurious to existing uses. The document (cited above) is hereby adopted and incorporated by reference and is on file with the Arizona Department of Health Services and the Office of the Seer, of State. C. No further degradation shall be allowed in high quality waters which constitute an outstanding public resource or in waters of exceptional recreational or ecological significance. Streams and lakes which receive their protection shall be classified as unique waters by the Council and included in R9-21-303. D. No further degradation shall be allowed in any stream or lake which would destroy the critical habitat for a threatened or endangered species which is historically or presently known to be associated with such waters Streass and lakes which receive this protection shall be classified unique waters by the Council and included in R9-21-303. .

State Narrative Language Fors Toxics All surface waters shall be fret from toxic, corrosive, or other deleterious substances attributable to domestic or industrial waste or other controllable sources at levels or in combinations sufficient to be toxic to human, animal, plant, or aquatic life. Hith respect to fish toxicity, receiving waters outside mixing zones shall not have a concentration of toxic materials exceeding 1/10 of the 96-hour LC50, where the bioassay is conducted using fish inhabiting the receiving waters and where water quality conditions approximate those of the stream or lake as closely as practical. Compliance shall be indicated when survival of test group organisms is not less than that of the control group organisms exposed to an appropriate water sample. a. No person shall cause toxic substances to be present at concentrations whichinterfere with designated protected uses. b. Compliance with a. (above) shall be determined on a site-specific basis for each discharge. c. To detrmine compliance with this-Section and other water quality standards, and to determine whether toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, teratogenic, corrosive or otherwise deleterious substances attributable to pollutants, effluent, sewage or waste in concentrations or combinations which interfere directly or • indirectly with protected uses are being discharged, the Department may require chemical, physical, biological, radiological or other testing by dischargers.
