INTRODUCTION
This digest  is compiled to provide general information to the public as well as  to
Federal, State, and  local  officials.   It  contains  excerpts from the individual
Federal-State water quality standards  establishing  pollutant specific  criteria for
interstate surface waters.  The water quality standards program is implemented  by
the  U.  S.  Environmental  Protection Agency  where  responsibility  for  providing
water quality recommendations,  approving State-adopted standards  for interstate
waters, evaluating adherence to the standards,  and overseeing  enforcement  of
standards compliance, has been mandated by Congress.

Standards,  a nationwide strategy for surface water quality management,  contain
three major  elements:  the use (recreation,  drinking  water,  fish  and  wildlife
propagation, industrial, or agricultural) to be made of the navigable water;  criteria
to protect  these uses; and an antidegradation statement to protect existing high
quality  waters, from degradation  by the addition of pollutants.

Water   quality  criteria (numerical  or  narrative  specifications)  for  physical,
chemical, temperature,  and biological constituents are stated in the July 1976 U.  S.
Environmental Protection  Agency  publication  Quality Criteria for Water  (QCW),
available from the Government Printing Office, Washington, D. C.  The 1976 QCW,
commonly  referred  to  as  the "Red Book," is the most current compilation  of
scientific information used by the Agency  as a basis for assessing water  quality.
This publication is  subject  to  periodic updating and revisions  in light  of new
scientific and technical  information.

This digest summarizes  fifteen pesticides which are usually incorporated into State
Water Quality Standards and for  which EPA has recommended criteria in the 1976
Quality Criteria for Water.  These pesticides  are:  Aldrin/dieldrin,  chlordane,
chlorophenoxy herbicides, DDT,  demeton, endosulfan, endrin, guthion, heptachlor,
lindane, malathion, methoxychlor,  mirex, parathion, and toxaphene.  All of these
chemicals are man-made for the control  of insects,  fungus and  other plant and
animal  diseases  or disease  vectors.  The  presence  of any of these substances  in
national waters are a result of an intrusion  from non-point sources associated with
agricultural or forestry application and point source production facility effluents.
To  control  the  presence  of aldrin/dieldrin, DDT  (ODD and  DDE),  endrin and
toxaphene  in  water,  EPA promulgated effluent  standards  for manufacturers  of
these pesticides  (40 CFR 129).

All  of these substances  exert detrimental effects  on aquatic and animal life; some
are suspected mutagens or carcinogens.  For these reasons EPA recommended the
following ambient water quality criteria for each compound:

aldrin/dieldrin     0.003 ug/1 for  freshwater and marine aquatic life.
                  The  persistence, bioaccumulation potential, and carcino-
                  genicity of  aldrin/dieldrin caution human exposure to  a
                  minimum.

Since water  quality standards experience  revisions and upgrading  from time to
time, following procedures set forth in the Clean Water Act,  individual  entries in
this digest may be superseded.  As these revisions  are accomplished and allowing
for the States to revise their standards accordingly,  this digest will be updated and
reissued.  Because this publication is not intended for use other than as  a general
information resource, to obtain the latest information and for special purposes and
applications, the reader  needs  to  refer to  the current approved  water quality
standards. These can be obtained from the State water pollution control agencies
or the EPA or Regional Offices.
