Anti degradati on
In all cases, existing instream beneficial
water uses will be maintained and protected. Any
actions that would become injurious to existing uses
cannot be undertaken. Waste assimilation and trans-
port are not recognized beneficial uses..
Existing high quality waters will be main-
tained at their existing high quality unless the New
Hampshire Water Supply and Pollution Control Commis-
sion decides to allow limited degradation where
economically or socially justified. If limited degrad-
ation is allowed, it cannot result in violation of
water quality criteria that describe the base levels
necessary to sustain the State and National Water
Quality goal uses of protection and propagation of
fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on
the water.
In all cases, high quality water which con-
stitutes an outstanding State or National resource
will be maintained and protected.

New Hampshire
Any determinations concerning thermal dis-
charge limitations under Section 316Ca) of Public Law
92-500 will be considered in compliance with the anti-
degradation policy.

APPENDIX I
New Hampshire
CHAPTERW
149:3 Standards for Classification of Surface
Waters of the State. For purposes of classification
there shall be four classes or grades of surface waters
as follows:
I. Class A waters shall be of the highest quality and
shall contain not mere than fifty coliform bacteria per
one hundred milliliters. There shall be no discharge of
any sewage or wastes into waters of this classification.
The waters of this classification shall be considered as
being potentially acceptable for water supply uses
after disinfection.
II. Class B* waters shall be of the second highest
quality and shall have no objectionable physical
charactericts, shall be near saturation for dissolved
oxygen, and shall contain not more than two hundred
forty coliform bacteria per one hundred milliliters.
There shall be no disposal of sewage or waste into said
waters except those which have received adequate
treatment to prevent the lowering of the physical,
chemical or bacteriological characteristics below
those given above, nor shall such disposal of sewage or
waste be inimical to fish life or to the maintenance of
fish life in said receiving waters. The pH range for said
waters shall be 6.5 to 8.0 except when due to natural
causes. Any stream temperature increase associated
with the discharge of treated sewage, waste or cooling
water shall not be such as to appreciably interfere with
the uses assigned to this class. The waters of this
classification shall be considered as being acceptable
for bathing and other recreational purposes and, after
adequate treatment, for use as water supplies. 1963,
26:2. 1967, 147:4
III. Class C waters shall be of the th.rd highest
quality and shall be free from slick, odors, turbidity,
and surface-floating solids of unreasonable kind or
quantity, shall contain not less than five parts per
million of dissolved oxygen; shall have a hydrogen ion
concentration within the range of pH 6.0 to 8.5 except
when due to natural causes; and shall be free from
chemicals and other materials and conditions inimical
to fish life or the maintenance of fish life. Any stream
temperature increase associated with the discharge of
treated sewage, waste or cooling water shall not be
such as to appreciably interfere with the uses assigned
to this class. The waters of this classification shall be
considered as being acceptable for recreational
boating, fishing, or for industrial water supply uses
either with or without treatment depending upon in-
dividual requirements. 1967, 147:5
IV. Class D waters shall be the lowest classification
and shall be free from slick, sludge deposits, odors, and
surface-floating materials of unreasonable kind,
quantity or duration, taking into consideration the
necessities of the industries involved, and shall contain
not less than two parts per million of dissolved oxygen
at all times. Any stream temperature increase
associated with the discharge of treated sewage, waste
or cooling water shall result in a receiving water
temperature not in excess of 90°F The waters of this
classification shall be aesthetically acceptable. Such
water shall also be suitable for certain industrial
purposes, power and navigation. 1967, 147:6
•Chapter 147:15, Laws of 1967, provides that: All
surface waters of the state heretofore or hereafter
classified as Class B-l or Class B-2 waters are hereby
reclassified as Class B waters.
IV-a. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Chapter to the contrary, the commission in submitting
Classifications relating to interstate waters to the New
England Interstate Water Pollution Control Com
mission for review and approval, as provided for under
the terms of Article V of the compact whereby the
interstate commission was created by RSA 488, shall
submit such classifications in accordance with the
standards of water quality .as currently adopted by
said interstate water pollution control commission
provided, however, that the standards for arty
classification thus submitted for review and approval
shall not be less than, nor exceed the standards of the
classification duly adopted by the General Court as
orovidedforin RSA 149:6 or 7. 1969,337:2
IV-b. Tidal waters utilized for swimming ourooses
shall satisfy all conditions contained in oaraaraoh II
above. Those tidal waters used for growing or taking of
shellfish for human consumption shall, in addition to
the foregoing requirements not contain a coliform
bacteria count greater than seventy on an AAPN basis.
1969, 337:2
IV-c. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
chapter to the contrary, the commission shall have the
authority to adopt such stream classification criteria
as may be issued from time to time by the Federal
Environmental Protection Agency or its successor
agency insofar as said criteria may relate to the water
uses specified in RSA 149 3, I, II, and III. Provided,
however, that the criteria thus issued shall not result in
standards that are less than nor exceed the standards
of the classification duly enacted by the general court
as provided for in RSA 149. 6 or 7. 1973,590.3
V All tests and sampling for the purpose of
examination of waters shall be performed and carried
out in a reasonable manner and whenever practicable,
in accordance with the current edition of the Standard
Methods for Examination of Water and Sewage as
published jointly by the American Public Health
Association and the American Water Works
Association. Near saturation for dissolved oxygen shall
mean a dissolved oxygen content at least seventy-five
percentum of saturation. The waters in each
classification shall satisfy all the provisions of all
lower classifications. The minimum treatment for the
lowest classification shall be as follows-
(a) For sewage, primary treatment and disin-
fection resulting in substantially complete disinfection
and removal of all settleable and floatable materials.
1963, 47.1. 1967, 147:7
(b) For industrial wastes. Such treatment, not to
exceed primary treatment or its equivalent, as the
commission shall determine after due consideration of
the provisions of paragraph IV above. Appeal from any
such determination shall be in the manner provided for
in section 14 thereof. 1963, 47-1. 1967, 147.7
V-a. In prescribing minimum treatment provisions
for thermal wastes discharged to interstate waters, the
commission shall adhere to the water quality
requirements and recommendations of the New
Hampshire fish and game department, the New
England Interstate Water Pollution Control Com-
mission, or the National Technical Advisory Com-
mittee of the Department of the Interior, whichever
requirements and recommendations provide the most
effective level of thermal pollution control 1969, 337 3
VI. Subiect to the provisions of RSA 149 8, III, the
fish and game department may use rotenone or similar
compounds in the conduct of its program to reclaim the
public waters of the state for game fishing 1955, 82' 1

,ntidegradation Statements
New Jersey
NEW JERSEY
1. Existing instream water uses shall be maintained and
protected. No further water quality degradation* which would
interfere with or become injurious to existing water use's is
allowable. Existing high quality waters which are better than
those levels necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish
and wildlife and recreation in and on the water shall be maintained
and protected unless the State chooses, after full satisfaction
of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation
provisions of the State's continuing planning process, to allow
lower water quality as a result of necessary and justifiable
economic or social development. In no event, however, may' degrada-
tion of water quality interfere with or become injurious to
existing instream water uses. Additionally, no degradation shall
be allowed in high quality waters which constitute an outstanding
National or'State resource. This antidegradation policy shall be
applied as follows:
ii. High Quality Waters-Category One are waters having
biological, chemical, or physical characteristics which are
better than quality standards. The uses of these high
quality waters are so sensitive to any change in chemical or
physical characteristics that it is presumed that any measurable
or calculable- degradation of the instream characteristics
will lead to eventual change or harm to the uses in these
surface wafers. The existing biological, chemical, or
physical characteristics of High Quality Waters-Category One
which are critical to the maintenance of existing instream
uses will be protected from any measurable or calculable
changes. Surface waters identified as High Quality Waters-
Category One are:
(3) Shellfish waters classified as approved
in chapter 12 of this title; or
(4) Other high quality surface waters and
their tributaries which flow through, or
border, State and National Parks, Forests,
and Fish and wildlife lands.
iii. High Quality Waters-Category Two are waters having
biological, chemical or physical characteristics which are
better than water quality standards. The uses of these high
ouality waters are sensitive to changes in chemical or
p'hysical characteristics. However, these uses may be capable
of being maintained within some range of change to the
instream chemical or physical characteristics as may be
determined by studies relating biological and other use
characteristics to chemical and physical characteristics of
aquatic ecosystems. The High Quality Waters-Category_Two
are those waters having biological, chemical, or physical
characteristics better than water quality standards and not
identified as Nondegradaticn Waters or High Quality
Waters-Category One.
-V
-------
New Jersey
iv. Category Three waters are those waters in which ambient
water quality is consistenty worse than or equal to applicable
water quality standards. Existing and intended uses of
these waters shall be attained or maintained.
2. In all situations where a lower classification of water
may impinge upon a higher classification of water, the department,
in implementing these standards, shall ensure the quality" and
uses of the higher classification are protected.
General Criteria
The concentration of a nonperststent or noncumulattve or hazardous
substance in the State''s waters shall not exceed one-twentieth ("0.05) of the
LCj-g value at 96 hours, as determined by appropriate bioassays.
The concentration of a persistent or cumulative toxic or hazardous
substance in the State's waters shall not exceed one one-hundredth of the
LCe0 value at 96 hours, as determined by appropriate bioassays. A persistent
substance is defined as a substance that is relatively resistant to degrad-
ation, having a one-half-life of 96 hours or more.

Definitions
The several, terns, words or phrases herein-
after mentioned shall be construed as follows:
(a) %rtars indes number as appearing in
table I shall mean that number or abbreviation assigned
to any designated waters or portion thereof for the
purpose of identification.
(1) The numbering or index system used
to identify specific waters of New York State
was adapted from that used by the New York
State Conservation Department in its biologi-
cal survey series of reports on watersheds of-
the State. The primary waters of a drainage
area, such as a river, large lake, bay or
sound, is usually referred to by name or an
abbreviation. Tributaries of primary river
waters are consecutively numbered progressing
upstream from the mouth. Tributaries of pri-
mary lake, bay or sound waters are consecu-
tively numbered in a clockwise order from a
defined point usually the outlet of the pri-
mary waters. Subtributaries are numbered as
-------
New York
encountered along the tributary proceeding
from its mouth to the source, and in like
manner all of, its other stream courses are
/
so numbered. Ponds and lakes are numbered
in the order they are encountered within the-
system. Tributaries of such lakes and ponds
are numbered, consecutively as they enter,
progressing clockwise around the lake or pond
from its outlet or mouth- The numbers
assigned to such lakes and ponds are prefixed
by the letter P. When isolated lakes and
ponds are referenced by a waters index number,
it is merely for convenience of their identifi-
cation and location within a subdrainage basin,
and it is not necessarily indicative of their
being, tributary to any waters to which no
surface connection is shown on the reference
maps.
(b) The abbreviations fnb and trws indicating
tributary and tributaries, and the terms svbtri'butcr'j and
siatyibutariss shall mean any stream, pond, or other body
of surface water; where no tributary, tributaries, sub-
-------
tributary or subtributaries are mentioned, the specifi- New y .
cally designated waters shall include only the stream,
pond, or other body of water referenced by such waters
index number; where tributary, tributaries, subtributary
or sufatributaries are mentioned after the waters index
number, the specifically designated waters shall
include the stream, pond, or other body of water refer-
•
enced by such waters index number and ail tributaries
and subtributaries thereof, which are shown on the
reference maps, excluding numbered ponds, unless
exceptions are expressly stated.
(c) a
contains designations of segments or sections of waters
under consideration to which a particular assignment of
a class and standards shall apply. Also included in
-------
New York
in this column is any useful information pertinent to
the classification or standards.
(e; Mas ref* no, as appearing in table I,
means map reference number and indicates one or more of
the followina numbered maps reproduced herein completely,
or in part, on which maps the specifically designated
j.
waters and their index numbers are shown within the
*
topographical limit line of the described drainage
basins or areas.
