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 eight elements which are usually incorporated into State
Water Quality Standards. These are: barium, beryllium, boron, chlorine, manga-
nese, nickel, selenium and silver. The presence of any of these elements in water
is not unusual because of their wide industrial application. Many of these elements
also occur in natural waters as a result of leaching from mineral deposits and
various mining operation. Toxic effects attributed to these elements are as varied
as the uses to which they are applied. Some are even essential nutrients in very
minute concentrations. Nevertheless, EPA has succeeded in demonstrating water
associated environmental problems with these elements and has recommended the
following ambient water quality criteria to protect aquatic life and human health:
Barium 1 mg/1 for domestic water supply (health)
Beryllium 11 ug/1 for the protection of aquatic life in soft fresh water.*
1,100 ug/1 for the protection of aquatic life in hard fresh water.*
100 ug/1 for continuous irrigation on all soils: except
500 ug/1 for irrigation on neutral to alkaline fine-textured soils.
* See Hardness (p.75, QCW, 1976). The beryllium concentration that will be
protective of a given aquatic ecosystem can be obtained by conducting flow-
through bioassays using ambient water and native species of fish and
invertebrates.
-------
Boron 750 ug/1 for long term irrigation on sensitive crops.
Chlorine Total residual chlorine:
2.0 ug/1 for salmonid fish
10.0 ug/1 for other freshwater and marine organisms.
Manganese 50 ug/1 for domestic water supplies (welfare).
100 ug/1 for protection of consumers of marine molluste.
Nickel 0.01 of the 96-hour LC for freshwater and marine aquatic life.
Selenium 10 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health).
For marine and freshwater aquatic life, 0.01 of the 96-hour LC
as determined through bioassay using a sensitive resident species.
Silver 50 ug/1 for domestic water supply (health).
For marine and freshwater aquatic life, 0.01 of the 96-hour LC
as determined through bioassay using a sensitive resident species.
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.
Individual State-adopted criteria follow:
