           A COMPILATION OF WATER QUALITY STANDARDS
                        FOR MARINE WATERS
     Section 301(h)  of  the Clean Water Act (CWA) authorizes  the

Environmental Protection  Agency (EPA), with State concurrence,

to issue a National  Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(NPDES) permit which modifies the Federal secondary treatment

requirements for  publicly owned treatment works discharging

into certain marine  waters.   In order to obtain such a

modification the  applicant must demonstrate its proposed

less-than-secondary  discharge will comply with seven criteria

established by section  301(h).  One of these criteria is  that

"there is an applicable water quality standard specific to the

pollutant for which  the modification is requested, which  has

been identified under section 304(a)(6)  of this Act." The term

"water quality standard"  as  used in section 301(h) means  those

water quality standards promulgated, approved, or left in

effect under section 303  of  the CWA.  40 CFR 125.58(v).



     Section 304(a)(6)  of the CWA directs the Administrator  of

EPA for purposes  of  section  301(h), to publish and revise as

appropriate "...information  identifying each water quality

standard in effect  under  this Act or State law, the specific

pollutants associated with such water quality standard, and  the

particular waters to which such water quality standard applies."

     This compilation of marine water quality  standards  has
been prepared in compliance with section 304(a)(6)  of  the  CWA
and supersedes the previous publication  " A Compilation  of
State Water Quality Standards for Marine Waters"  dated April
1978.  This compilation should not in any way  be  construed as
expressing an Agency opinion as to whether the waters  listed
are marine waters within the meaning of section 301(h) of  the
CWAf or whether discharges to such waters are  qualified  for a
section 301(h) modification.  Users of this compilation  should
refer to 40 CFR Part 125, Subpart G, which sets forth  the
regulations governing eligibility for a section 301(h)
modification.

     Because section 303 standards typically do not  have a
separate section specifically identifying all  of  the marine
water quality standards, extensive editing was necessary to
separate the marine standards from the freshwater standards.
In all cases the marine standards are presented in as  close to
the original text as possible in order to eliminate  any
confusion which might arise from the editing process.

                        ANTIDEGRADATION POLICY




     The purpose and intent of the water quality standards is to conserve the



waters of the State of Alabama and to protect, maintain and improve the quality




thereof for public water supplies for the propagation of wildlife, fish and




aquatic life, and for domestic, agricultural, industrial, recreational and



other legitimate beneficial uses; and to provide for the prevention, abatement




and control of new or existing water pollution.  Waters of high quality located




within national and state parks and other areas which constitute an outstanding




national resource shall be maintained at such high quality.




     Waters of quality higher than that established by the standards as of the



effective date of such standards shall be maintained at that high quality water




provided that the Commission has the authority to approve a new or increased




discharge of waste to a high quality water upon demonstration that such




discharge is necessary for economic or social development.




     (1)  In no case will developments constituting a new or increased source



of pollution to high quality waters be allowed to install or operate less than




the highest and best degree of treatment available under existing technology.



This degree of treatment for industrial and municipal waste is generally



considered to be a minimum of secondary treatment as described in Alabama Water




Quality Standards.   Where necessary to protect existing and future beneficial



uses, a higher degree of treatment may be required.



     (2)  Developments constituting a new or increased source of thermal




pollution shall assure that such release will not impair the propagation of



a balanced indigenous population of fish and aquatic life.




     (3)  In applying these policies and requirements,  the State of  Alabama



will recognize and protect the interests of the federal government.   Toward




this end the Commission will consult and cooperate with the Environmental




Protection Agency on all matters affecting the federal interest.

SECTION IV - MINIMUM CONDITIONS APPLICABLE T0_ ALL' STATE WATERS




     The following minimum conditions are applicable to all State waters,  at




all places and at all times, regardless of their uses:




     1.  State waters shall be free from "substances attributable to sewage,




         industrial wastes or other wastes that will settle to form bottom




         deposits which are unsightly, putrescent or interfere directly or




         indirectly with any classified water use.




     2.  State waters shall be free from floating debris, oil, scum, and other




         floating materials attributable to sewage, industrial wastes or other




         wastes in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or interfere directly or




         indirectly with any classified water use.




     3.  State waters shall be free from substances attributable to sewage,




         industrial wastes or other wastes in concentrations or combinations




         which are toxic or- harmful to human, animal or aquatic life to the




         extent commensurate with  the designated usage of such waters.

the addition of artificial heat by a
discharger shall- not exceed 5°F  in
streams, lakes, and reservoirs in non-
coastal and non-estuarine areas.

The maximum in-stream temperature rise
above ambient water temperature due to

    In lakes and reservoirs there shall be no
    withdrawal from, nor discharge of heated
    waters to, the hypolimnion unless it can
    be shown that such discharge or withdraws-
    will be beneficial to water quality.

    In all waters the normal daily and
    seasonal temperature variations  that
    were present before the addition of
    artificial*heat  shall be maintained,
    and there  shall  be no thermal block
    to the migration of aquatic organisms.

    Thermal permit limitations in State
    discharge permits may be less stringent
    than those required by criteria a. - d.
    hereof when a showing by the discharger
    has been made pursuant to Section 316 of
    the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
    (FWPCA), 33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq. or pur-
    suant to a study of an equal or more
    stringent nature required by the  State of
    Alabama authorized by Title 22,  Section
    22-22-9(c), Code of Alabama, 1975, that
    such limitations will assure the  protec-
    tion and propagation of a balanced, indig-
    enous population of shellfish, fish and
    wildlife,  in and on the body of  water  to
    which the  discharge is made.  Any such
    demonstration shall take  into account  the
    interaction of  the thermal discharge com-
    ponent with other pollutants discharged.

    For a diversified warm water biota,  includ-
    ing game  fish,  daily  dissolved  oxygen  con-
    centrations  shall not be  less  than  5 mg/1
    at all  times; except  under  extreme  condi-
     tions due  to  natural  causes,it  may  range

parameters.  The normal seasonal and daily
fluctuations shall be maintained above these
levels.  In no event shall the dissolved
oxygen level be J.BSS than 4 mg/1 due to
discharges from existing impoundments.  All
new impoundments shall be designed so that
the discharge will contain at least 5 mg/1
dissolved oxygen where practicable and tech-
nologically possible.  The Environmental
Protection Agency in cooperation with the
State of Alabama and parties responsible
for Impoundments, shall develop a program
to improve the design of existing facilities.

In coastal waters surface dissolved oxygen
concentrations shall not be less than 5 mg/1,
except where natural phenomena cause  the
value  to be depressed.

In estuaries and tidal tributaries,dissolved
oxygen concentrations shall not be less than
5 mg/1, except in dystrophic waters or where
natural conditions  cause the value to be
depressed.

    producing substances;
    odor producing substances;
    or other deleterious sub-
    stances attributable to
    sewage, industrial wastes,
    or other wastes.
6.   Bacteria
In the application of dissolved oxygen
criteria referred to above, dissolved
oxygen shall be measured at a depth of
5 feet in waters 10 feet or greater in
depth; and for those waters less  than
10 feet in depth, dissolved oxygen cri-
teria will be applied at mid-depth.

Only such amounts, whether alone  or in
combination with other substances or wastes,
as will not render the water unsafe or
unsuitable for swimming and water-contact
sports; be injurious to fish, wildlife,
and aquatic life or, where applicable,
shrimp and crabs; impair the palatability
of fish, or, where applicable, shrimp and
crabs; impair the waters for any  other
usage established for this classification
or unreasonably affect the aesthetic value
of waters for any use under this  classifi-
cation.

Waters in the immediate vicinity  of
discharges of sewage or other wastes
likely to contain bacteria harmful to
humans, regardless of the degree  of
treatment afforded these wastes*, are
not acceptable for swimming or other
whole body water-contact sports.

In all other areas,  the bacterial quality
of water is acceptable when a sanitary
survey reveals no source of dangerous
pollution and when the geometric mean
fecal coliform organism density does not
exceed 100/100 ml in coastal waters and
200/100 ml in other waters.  When the
geometric mean fecal coliform organism
density exceeds these levels, the bacterial
water quality shall be considered acceptable
only if a second detailed sanitary survey
and evaluation discloses no significant
public health risk in the use of the waters.

The policy of nondegradation of high quality
waters shall be stringently applied to
bacterial quality of recreational waters.

The concentrations of radioactive materi?1s
present shall not exceed the requirement.
of the State Department of Public Health.
     8.  Turbidity
There shall be no turbidity of other
than natural origin that will cause
substantial visible contrast with the
natural appearance of waters or inter-
fere with any beneficial uses which
they serve.  Furthermore, in no case
shall turbidity exceed 50 Nephelometric units
above background.  Background will be
interpreted as the natural condition of
the receiving waters, without the influ-
ence of man-made or man-induced causes.
Turbidity levels caused by natural runoff
will be included in establishing back-
ground levels.
*NOTE:  In assigning this classification to  waters intended  for swimming and water-
        contact sports,  the Commission will  take into consideration the relative
        proximity of discharges of wastes and will recognize the potential hazards
        involved in locating swimming areas  close to waste discharges.   The Commission
        will not assign this classification  to waters, the bacterial quality of which
        is dependent upon adequate disinfection of waste and where the interruption
        of such treatment would render the water unsafe for  bathing.

 the interaction of the thermal discharge
 component with  other pollutants  discharged.

 For a diversified  warm water biota,  includ-
 ing game fish,  daily dissolved oxygen con-
 centrations shall  not  be  less  than 5 mg/1
 at all times; except under extreme con-
 ditions due to  natural causes, it may range

    shall not cause the pH to deviate more
    than one unit from the normal or natural
    pH, nor be less than 6.0, nor greater
    than 8.5.  For salt waters and estuarine
    waters to which this classification is

    In all waters the normal daily and sea-
    sonal temperature variations that were
    present before the addition of artificial
    heat shall be maintained, and there shal1
    be no thermal block to the migration of
    aquatic organisms.

    Thermal permit limitations in State dis-
    charge permits may be less stringent than
    those required by criteria a. - d. hereof
    when a showing by the discharger has been
    made pursuant to Section 316 of the Federal
    Water Pollution Control Act  (FWPCA), 33 U.S.C.

    equal or more stringent nature required by
    the State of Alabama authorized by title 22,
    Section 22-22-9(c),' Code of Alabama, 1975,
    that such limitations will assure the pro-
    tection and propagation of a balanced, indig-
    enous population of shellfish, fish and
    wildlife, in and on the body of water to
    which the discharge is made.  Any such demon-
    stration  shall  take into account  the inter-
    action of the  thermal discharge component
    with other  pollutants discharged.

    For a diversified warm water biota,  including
    game  fish,  daily dissolved  oxygen concen-
     trations  shall  not be less  than 5 mg/1 at
    all  times;  except under  extreme conditions
    due  to natural  causes,it may range  between
    5 mg/1 and  4 mg/1,provided  that  the water
     quality  is  favorable  in  all other parameters.
    The  normal  seasonal  and  daily  fluctuations
     shall be maintained  above  these  levels.   In
     no event shall the  dissolved oxygen level  be
     less than 4 mg/1  due to  discharges  from
     existing impoundments.   All new impoundments

where practicable and technologically
possible.  The Environmental Protection
Agency in cooperation with the State of
Alabama and parties responsible for
impoundments, shall develop a program to
improve the design of existing facilities.

In coastal waters, surface dissolved
oxygen concentrations shall not be less
than -5 mg/1, except where natural pheno-
mena cause the value to be depressed.

In estuaries and tidal tributaries, dis-
solved oxygen concentrations shall not be
liss than 5 mg/1, except in dystrophic
waters or where natural conditions cause
the value to be depressed.

In the application of dissolved oxygen
criteria referred to above, dissolved
oxygen shall be measured at a depth of
5 feet in waters 10 feet or greater in
depth; and for those waters less than
10 feet in depth,, dissolved oxygen cri-
teria will be applied at mid-depth.

     E.  AGRICULTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLY

     Best Usage of Waters;  Agricultural irrigation,  livestock watering,  indus-

trial cooling and process water supplies, and any other usage, except fishing,

bathing, recreational activities, including water-contact sports, or as a source

of water supply for drinking or food-processing purposes.

     Conditions Related to Best Usage;  The waters, except for natural impurities

which may be present therein, will be suitable for agricultural irrigation, live-

stock watering, industrial cooling waters, and fish survival.  The waters will be

usable after special treatment, as may be needed under each particular circumstance,

for industrial process water supplies.  The waters will also be suitable for other

uses for which waters of lower quality will be satisfactory.

     This category includes watercourses in which natural flow is intermittent

and non-existent during droughts and which may, of necessity, receive treated

wastes  from existing municipalities and  industries, both now and in  the future.

In such instances, recognition must be given to the lack of opportunity for

mixture of the treated wastes with the receiving stream for purposes of com-

pliance.  It is also understood in considering waters for this classification

that urban runoff or natural conditions may impact any waters so classified.

shall turbidity exceed 50 Nephelometric units
above background.  Background will be
interpreted as the natural condition of
the receiving waters without che influence
of man-made or man-induced causes.  Tur-
bidity levels caused by natural runoff
will be included in establishing back-

                          USE CLASSIFICATIONS






     Us* classifications apply water quality criteria adopted for particular



uses based on existing utilization, uses reasonably expected in the future,



and those uses not now possible because of correctable pollution but which



could be made if the effects of pollution were controlled or eliminated.  Of



necessity, the assignment of use classifications must take into consideration




the physical capability of waters to meet certain uses.



     Those use classifications presently included in the standards are reviewed



informally by the Commission's staff as the need arises, and the entire stan-



dards package, to include the use classifications, receive a formal review at



least once each three years.  Efforts currently underway through local 201



planning projects, designated 208 agency programs, and Statewide 208 planning



will provide additional technical data on certain streams in the State, infor-



mation on treatment alternatives, and applicability of various management



techniques, which, when available, will hopefully lead Co new decisions regarding




use classifications.  Of particular interest are those segments which are



currently classified for any usage which has an associated degree of quality



criteria considered to be less Chan that applicable to a classification of "Fish



and Wildlife."  As rapidly  as it can be demonstrated  that new classifications



are feasible on these segments from an economic and technological viewpoint,



based on  the information being generated pursuant to  staff studies  and  the



planning  efforts previously outlined, such  improvement will  be sought.



     Although  it  is not explicitly stated in  the classifications,  it should  be



understood  chat the use classification of "Shellfish  Harvesting"  is only  appli-



cable in  the coastal area and, therefore, is  included only in  the  Mobile  River



Basin and the  Ferdldo-Escambia River Basin.   Ic should also  be noted  that with

        the exception  of  those  segments  la Che "Public  Water  Supply"  classification,

        every  segment,  in addition to  being considered  acceptable for its designated

        use, is  also considered acceptable for any other  use  with a less  stringent

        associated  criteria.

            Not all waters are Included by name In the use classifications since it

        would  be a  tremendous administrative burden to  list all stream segments In the

        State.   In  addition,  in virtually every Instance  where a segment  is not included

        by name, the Commission has no Information or stream  data upon which to base  a

        decision relative to  the assignment of a particular classification.  An effort

        has been made,  however, to include all major stream segments  and  all segments

        which  to the Commission's knowledge, are currently recipients of  point source

        discharges.  Those segments which are not included by name will be considered

        to be  acceptable  for  a  "Fish and Wildlife" classification unless  it can be

        demonstrated that such  a generalization is inappropriate in specific instances.

         18 MC 70.010.   GENERAL,  (a)  No person may conduct an operation
    which causes or contributes to a violation of the water quality standards
    established by this  chapter.

         (b)  The water  quality standards established in this chapter apply
    to manmade alterations to waters of the state. The water quality standards
    established by this  chapter constitute the degree of degradation which
    may not be exceeded  in a water body.


         (c)  Waters having natural characteristics which are of a higher
    quality than the water quality criteria for protected uses established
    in sec. 20 of this chapter must be maintained at the existing quality,
    except where: (1) under sec. 15 or sec. 55 of this chapter,  it is demon-
    strated to the satisfaction of the department that limited degradation
    of the water body may be allowed; (2) it has been demonstrated to the
    department that a reduction of water quality is justifiable as a result
    of necessary economic or social development; (3) the reduction of water
    quality will not injure present or potential uses of the waters; and (4)
    all washes and other materials and substances proposed for discharge
    into  the waters are  provided with all taiown available and feasible
    methods of treatment as determined by the department before discharge.
    (In effect before 7/28/59; am 5/24/70, Reg. 34; am 8/28/71,  Reg. 39; am

      18 AAC 70.015.  SHORT-TERM  VARIANCE,   (a)  A  short-term variance from
 the criteria established in sec.  20 of this chapter will, in the department's
 discretion, be  allowed for nonpoint sources,  and for  temporary activities
 associated with the placement of dredged or fill material,  affecting a specific water
 body when necessary to accommodate essential activities, respond to
 emergencies, or to protect  the public  interest.   Short-term
 variances must  be authorized in writing by the  commissioner or his
 dL'siynee under  conditions  the commissioner, in  his  discretion, will
 prescribe, even  though the  activities  may result in a  temporary
 exceeding of the water quality criteria for the water involved.  A
 short-term variance will  be granted only after  the  applicant has
 demonstrated to the satisfaction of  the commissioner that the
 wastes, materials, or substances which will exceed  the water
 criteria limits are provided with all  known available and feasible
 methods of treatment  before entering  state waters,  and if the
 activity for which the variance  is  sought

           (1)   will have  no actual or  potential  adverse impact on a
 procected use  of the  waters involved  beyond the term of the variance
 granted;

           (2)   will be kept to a minimum impact and time  frame,
 utilizing oil  known available and feasible methods  of mitigation;

           (3)   when completed, will  not  result  in a continuing or
 recurring reduction of water quality;  and

           (4)   when completed the water quality will return within
 the  shortest feasible time  to that  existing before  the activity  for
 which the short-term  variance was requested unless, as
 provided  for  in  sec.   1C of this chapter,  it  is found that a
 Iimi ted degradation of the water  in_questi_onjs justifj able.
-------
     (b)   A  variance unJer  this  section way  be  authorized on  cither
en area  or project basis or for  specific individual  events, as
determined by  the commissioner.
                                                                               Alaska
     (c)   A  person seeking  a short-term variance of  the water
quality  criteria shall submit a  written request to the commissioner.
The request  must contain the location, time,  duration, and  type  of
activity  requiring the variance; reasons why  the activity is
required;  the  geographical  extent and quantified degree of  variance
from the  applicable criteria required; detailed plans of
construction or operational  techniques proposed, and an estimate of
the impact of  the activity  on the uses of  the waters involved,
including  recreational use  and use for habitat, food chain, rearing,
growth,  or migration by fish, shellfish, other  aquatic life,
mammals,  and wildlife 'including  seabirds,  waterfowl  and furbearers.
The commissioner will, in his discretion,  treat an application  for a
U.S. Army  Corps of Engineer's permit as an application for  a

short-term variance for temporary activities associated with  the
placement  of dredged or fill material when the commissioner
determines that  a" variance  is needed for  certification of  the
activity.   Upon the commissioner's request, the applicant  shall
submit additional information required for processing of  an
application for a short-term variance.

      (d)   If the commissioner determines that the application  may
 generate substantial controversy,  he will issue public notice  of the
 application under  (e) of this section.  If public notice is not  issued,
 the commissioner will obtain the staff recommendation on the application
 within 20  days of receipt of the application, and will issue the depart-
 ments decision within 10 days after receipt of the staff recommendation.

      (e)   If the commissioner determines to issue public notice  under
 (d) of this section, he will, within 10 days of receipt  of the application,
 publish  notice of  the application  in two editions of a newspaper in
 general  circulation within  the area which will be most significantly
 affected by  the decision, and in other media  the commissioner  deems
 appropriate.  The notice will summarize the substance of'the request,
 and will identify  the office of the department where copies of the
 request  and  supporting documents may be obtained.  Public comment  will
 be considered timely if it  is submitted within 30 days of the  second
 publication  of notice.  A mailing  list of interested persons  and organi-
 zations  wishing to receive  copies  of the public notice will be maintained
 by the department  for mailing at the time notice is given.

      (f)  Within  10 days of the close of the  public notice period,,a
 staff person designated by  the commissioner will issue a recommendation.
 The recommendation will include the basis for recommending approval or
 disapproval  of the variance request.  Where public  comment adverse to
 the request  has been received by the department, and where the staff
 recommendation is  to approve the request, it will state the staff  rationale
 for the  recommentation.  The rationale 'for a  recommended denial  will
 also.be  provided.   The staff recommendation  will be forwarded to  the
 commissioner for  his review.   Tne recommendation will be served on me
 applicant, and on all persons who  submitted  timely written comments.


      (g)  Within 10 days of  service of the staff's recommendation, the
 applicant, or any other person who submitted timely written comments on
 the application,  may serve upon the commissioner comments on  the recom-
 mendation.  All comments served, and all supplemental matters submitted
 by the staff,  will be placed  in a record file.   The record file will be
 closed 10 days after the deadline for serving comments  under  this sub-
 section.

      (h)  Within 10 days of closing the record file,  the  commissioner,
 or his designee,  based upon  the matters contained  in  the  record file,
 will affirm, modify or reverse the staff's recommendation.  The commis-
 sioner or his designee will,  in his discretion,  adopt the findings and
 conclusions in the staff recommendation by reference.   The decision will   — <-
 be served on the applicant and all persons who submitted  timely written  comments
-------
   (i)  The  commissioner or  his  designee will,  in his discretion,  include
conditions  in the short-term variance necessary to insure that  disturbance to       .,  .
water quality and protected  uses,  including  recreational use  and  use for habitat,        a
food chain,  rearing, growth,  or  migration by fish, shellfish, other aquatic  life,
mammals,  and wildlife, including seabirds, waterfowl  and furbearers, is minimized.

applying the appropriate water quality criteria for any waters or portion
of waters, the department will use the following procedure

          (1)  if a water is classified for more than one use,
the most stringent water quality criteria of all the included uses will
apply;

          (2)  at the boundary between waters of different water
use classifications, the water quality standard for the more stringent
water use classification will apply; and

          (3)  in brackish water of estuaries, where the fresh and
marine water quality standards differ within the same classification,
the standard will be determined on the basis of salinity; except that
the marine water quality criteria will apply for dissolved oxygen when
the salinity is one part per thousand or greater and for fecal coliform
organisms when the salinity is ten parts per thousand or greater.   (In

     18 AAC  70.032.   MIXING ZONES,   (a)   In applying the water
quality criteria of  sec. 20 of this  chapter to waters of the  state
the department will,  in its discretion,  prescribe in its permits  or
certifications a volume of dilution  for  the effluent or material
within the receiving  water.  Water quality standards may be exceeded
within this  mixing zone; however, the  standards must  be met  at
every point  outside  its boundaries.  The department will disallow
mixing zones in instances where  the  substance discharged is bioaccumulative
in food chains, concentrates in  sediments, is persistent, carcinogenic,
mutagenic  or teratogenic, or if  the  potential ecological or human
health effects are so potentially adverse that a mixing zone  is not
appropriate.  A mixing zone may  be granted only after the applicant
has demonstrated to  the satisfaction of  the department that the
wastes, materials, or substances which may exceed the water criteria
limits are provided with all known available and feasible methods of
treatment  before entering state  waters.
       (b)  The department will, in its discretion, establish effluent
  limitation requirements in its wastewater disposal permits in lieu of or
  in addition to a defined mixing zone.

       (c)  No individual mixing zone or combination of mixing zones will
  be permitted to form a barrier to the migratory routes of aquatic species.


       (d)   In  determining the  size of mixing zones, the department
 will  consider the following:

            (1)  the physical,  biological and chemical  characteristics
 of  the  receiving water;

            (2)  the effects  of  the discharge on the  present  and
 anticipated  protected water uses  and quality of the  receiving water;

            (3)  the mixing characteristics of the  receiving  water;
 and

            (4)  the characteristics of the effluent,  including  flov;
 rate  and  composition.

        (e)  Unless it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the  department,
   in accordance with (£) of this section, that  the size limitations can be
   increased, mixing zones will be as small as practicable and will comply
   with the following size limitations

            (1)  the cumulative linear width of the mixing zone(s)
   intersected on any given cross section of a river or stream will not
   exceed one third of the total width of that cross section;

            (2)  the total horizontal area allocated to all mixing zones
   on a lake will not exceed 10 percent of the lake's surface area;

            (3)  the cumulative linear length of the mixing zone(s)
   intersected on any given cross section of an  estuary, inlet, cove,
   channel, or other marine water measured at mean lower low water may not
   exceed 10 percent of the total length of that cross section, nor may the
   total horizontal area allocated to mixing zones in these waters exceed
   10 percent of the surface area measured at mean lower low water.

      (T)  A person conducting an  operation for which  a  mixing zone
 is sought or  required by the department shall submit  to the
 department all  information necessary  for assignment  of  a mixing zone,
 including

           (1)   the type of operation  being conducted;

           (?)   the characteristics  of the effluent,  or  material
 including flow  rate and composition;

           (3)   the cnaracteristics  or the receiving  water at the
 location of the proposed discharge  or activity including but not
 limited to, where appropriate, water  quality, flow rate, current
 patterns, depth and width, and seasonal  changes;
     18 AAC  70.034.  THERMAL DISCHARGES.  As provided for in sec. 316(a)
of the Clean Water Act of 1977, whenever the owner or operator of a
source of thermal discharge, after opportunity for public hearing, can
demonstrate  to the satisfaction of the department that the application
of the temperature criterion in sec. 20 of this chapter is more stringent
than necessary to assure the protection and propagation of a balanced
indigenous and anadromous population in the waters to which the discharge
is to be  made, the department will, in its discretion, apply a new
temperature  criterion to the water body affected.  The new criterion
will assure  the protection and propagation of a balanced indigenous and
anadromous population of aquatic  life, and other wildlife in and on that
body of water, according to the classification of the water.  (Eff.

                       GENERAL PROVISIONS

A.  Effective Date

     This Plan is in effect as of the date of adoption by the
State Water Resources Control Board.

B.  Waste Discharge Recruiraments

     The Regional Boards may establish more restrictive water
quality objectives and effluent quality requirements than those
set forth in this Plan as necessary for the protection of bene-
ficial uses of the ocean.

Regional Boards may impose alternative less
restrictive provisions to those contained within
Table 3 of the Plan, provided an applicant can
demonstrate that:

     Reasonable control technologies (including
     source control, material substitution,
     treatment and dispersion) will not provide for
     complete compliance or;

     Any less stringent provisions would
     encourage water reclamation;

Provided further than;

     a}  Any alternative water quality objectives
         shall be below the conservative estimate
         of chronic toxicity, cpcn. which this Plan
         is based, and sx:ch alternative will provide
         for adequate proreetion of the marine environment;

         is not: exceeded; and

     c)  The State Board and the Environmental Protection
         Agency concur in the Regional Board findings and
         alternative limits.

C.  Revision of Waste Discharge Recuirements

     The Regional Board shall revise the waste discharge require-
ments for existing discharges as necessary to achieve compliance
with this Plan and shall also establish a time schedule for
compliance in accordance with State Board Resolution 74-5.

D.  State _Bcard Review of _ Time Schedules

     The State Board shall review proposed tine schedules for all
municipal discharges throughout the State and shall recommend
to the Regional Boards specific schedules, to assure the maximum
benefit from, and equitable distribution of, available state
and federal grant funds.

E.  Monitoring Prccrsm

     The Regional Board, shall require dischargers to conduct
self-monitoring programs and submit reports necessary to deter-
mine compliance with the waste discharge requirements, and may
require dischargers to contract with agencies or persons accept-
able to the Regicnal Board to provide monitoring reports.  Such
monitoring programs shall comply with Guidelines for Monitoring
the Effects of Waste Discharges on the Ocean which shall be issued
by the Executive Director of the  State Board.

F.  Areas of Special Biological Si'cnificance

     Areas of special biological  significance shall be designated
by the State Board after a public hearing by the Regional Board
and review of its recommendations.

    froviaiona regulating the thermal aspects of waste discharged
    to the ocean are set forth In the Water Quality Control Plan
    for the Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate
    Waters and Enclosed Bays and Estuaries or California dated
    JUy 18, 1972.

    Ocean waters ara waters of the Pacific Ocean adjacent to the
    California coast outside of enclosed bays, estuaries, and
    coastal lagoons.

    Enclosed bays are indentations along the coast which enclose
    an area of oceanic water within distinct headlands or harbor
    works.  Enclosed bays include all bays where the narrowest
    distance between headlands or outermost harbor works is less
    than 75 percent of the greatest dimension G- the enclosed
    portion of the bay.  This definition includes but Ls not
    limited to:  Humboldt Bay, Bodega Harbor, Toraales Bay, Drakes
    Eatero, S«n Francisco Bay, Morro Bay, Los Angeles Harbor,
    Upper and Lower Newport 3ay, Mission Bay, and San Diego Bay.

    Z«tuaries and coastal lagoons are waters at the mouths of
    streams which serve as mixing zones for fresh and ocean waters
    during a major portion of the year.  Mouths of streams
    which are temporarily separated from the ocean by sandbars
    •hall be considered as estuaries.  Estuarine waters will
    generally be considered to extend from a bay or the open ocean
    to the upstream limit of tidal action but may be considered
    to extend seaward if significant mixing of fresh and salt
    water occurs in the open coastal waters.  The waters described
    by this definition include but are not limited to the
    ••cramento-San Joaquin Delta as defined by Section 12220 of
    the California Water Coda, Suisun Bay, Carquinez Strait
    downstream to Carquinez Bridge, and appropriate areas of the
    faith, Xlcvath, Mad, Eel, Koyo, and Russian Rivers.

3/  The Water Quality Objectives and Effluent Quality Require-
~~   ments are defined by a statistical distribution when appro-
    priate.  This method recognizes the normally occurring
    variations in treatment efficiency and sampling and analytical
    techniques and does not condone poor operating practices-.

4/  Body-contact sports areas outside the shoreline zone set forth
    in Chapter U.A.I, and all shellfishing areas shall be
    determined by the Regional Board on an individual basis.

S/  R significant difference is defined as a statistically sign-
    ificant difference in the means of tvo distributions of
    sampling results at the 95 percent confidence level.

6/  Initial dilution is the process which results in the rapid and
    irreversible turbulent mixing of wastewater with ocean water
    around the point of discharge.

    For a submerged buoyant discharge, characteristic of most
    municipal and industrial wastes that are released from the
    submarine outfalls, the momentum of the discharge and its
    initial buoyancy act together to produce turbulent mixing.
    Initial dilution in this case is completed when rhe diluting
    wastewater ceases to rise in the water column and first: begins
    to spread hori.zon-cally.

    For shallow water submerged discharges, surface discharges,
    and nonbucyant discharges, characteristic of cooling water
    wastes  and some individual discharges, turbulent mixing
    results primarily from the momentum of discharge.  Initial
    dilution, in these cases, is considered to be completed when
    the momentum induced velocity of the discharge ceases to
    produce significant mixing of the waste, or the diluting plume
    reaches a fixed distance from the discharge to be specified by
    the Regional Board, whichever results in the lower estimate
    for initial dilution.

    For the purpose of this Plan, minimum initial dilution is the
    lowest average initial dilution within, any single month of
    the year.  Dilution estimates shall be based en observed waste
    flow characteristics, observed receiving water density structure,
    and the assumption that no currents, of sufficient strength to
    influence the initial dilution process, flow across the dis-
    charge structure.

    The Executive Director shall issue guidelines to be used bv
    the State and Regional Boards for determining the initial
    dilution achieved by each ocean discharge.

     Degradation shall be determined by analysis of- the effects
     of  waste discharge  on species diversity, population density,
     contamination, growth anomalies, debility, or supplanting of
     normal species by undersirable plant and animal species.

 8/  Compliance with  the water quality objectives of Chapter II
     shall  be determined front samples collected at stations repre-
     sentative of  the area within the waste field where initial
     dilution is completed-

 3/  Waste  that contains pathogenic organisms or viruses should
     be  discharged a  sufficient "distance from shellfishing and
     body-contact  sports areas to maintain applicable bacteriological.
     standards without disinfection.  Where conditions are such,  that
     an  adequate distance cannot be attained, reliable disinfection
     in  conjunction with a reasonable separation of the discharge
     point  from the area of  use must be provided.  Consideration
     should be given  to  disinfection procedures that do not
     increase  effluent toxicity and that constitute the least
     environmental and human hazard in their production, transport,
     and utilization*

10/  Effluent  limitations for substances identified in Chapter IV,
     Table  B, with the exceptions of Radioactivity and Total
     Identifiable  Chlorinated Hydrocarbons, shall be determined
     through the use  of  the  following equation:

              Ce - Co -t- Dm  (Co - Cs)      (1)

     where:

              Ce  » the  effluent concentration  Limit,
              Co  • the  concentration to be met  at the completion
                     of initial dilution,
              Cs  » background seawater  concentration, and
              Dm  - minimum  probable initial dilution expressed
                     as parts seawater per part wastewater.

     The-State Board  shall  assist the Regional  Boards in the
     evaluation  of Dia,  the  minimum initial dilution for  a
     specific  waste discharge.  Discharging  agencies will  be
     informed  of  the  basis  for the determination of minimum
     initial dilution.

     the limiting effluent concentration.  The State or Regional
     Board  may,  at their discretion,  specify test methods which
     are more sensitive than  those  specified in 40 CFR 136.  Total
     chlorine residual  is likely to be  a  "limit of det-ection"
     effluent requirement in  many cases.   The limit of detection
     of  total chlorine  residual in  standard test methods is less
     than,  or equal to,  Q.02  mg/1.

     Due to the large total, volume  of powerplant and other heat
     exchange discharges, special procedures must be applied for
     determining compliance with Table  B  limitations on a routine
     basis. Effluent concentration values (Ce) shall be determined
     through the use of Equation 1  considering the minimal probable
     initial dilution of the  combined effluent (in-plant waste
     streams plus cooling wat^r flow).  These concentration values
     shall  then be converted  to mass  emission limitations as indi-
     cated  in Equation  2.  The mass emission limits will then serve
     as  requirements applied  to all in-plant waste streams taken
     together which discharge into  the  cooling water flow.  The
     procedure  described above shall  apply to all Table 3 materials
     except limitations on total chlorine residual and radioactivity
     which  shall apoly  to, and be measured in, the combined final
     effluent.

ll/  Water quality objectives for total chlorine residual applying
     to  intermittent discharges not exceeding t*wo hours, and
     24  hours and instantaneous  (1  minute) maximum, objectives  acalying
     to  continuous sources, shall be  determined through the use""
     of  the following equation:

          log y = -0.328 log  x -0.905

         where:  y _ the water quality  objective to  apply when
                       chlorine is  being  discharged;
                 x s the duration of  uninterrupted chlorine
                       discharge in minutes.

12/  This parameter shall be  used to  measure the acceptability
     of  waters  for supporting a healthy marine biota until
     improved methods are developed to  evaluate biological
     response.

                The TLa shall be  determined by  static  or
                continuous  flow bioassay techniques using
                standard test species.  If specific
                identifiable substances in wastewater  can be
                demonstrated by the discharger  as being
                rapidly rendered  harmless upon  discharge to
                the marine  environment, the TLa nay be
                determined  after  the test samples are  adjusted
                to remove the influence of those substances.

     summing the individual concentrations  cf  DDT, DDD,  DDS,
     aldrin,  BEC,  chlordane,  endrin,  heptachlor, lindsne,  dieldrin,
     and polychlorinated biphenyls.

     The Executive Director shall  undertake a  preliminary  inves-

     halogenated hydrocarbons which may be  present in wastewater
     discharges.  Such review shall lead  to a  recommendation
     regarding the necessity for regulation, gathering  of
     necessary data,  or other appropriate actions which should
     be taken by the State Board.

     As part of the preliminary  investigation,  the Executive
     Director may impose additional monitoring requirements  on
     discharging agencies to assess the occurrence of halogenated

                WATER QUALITY CONTROL POLICY
                     FOR THE ENCLOSED        ,,
              BAYS AND ESTUARIES OF  CALIFORNIA—
 INTRODUCTION

 The purpose  of  this policy  is  to provide  water  quality  principles

 and guidelines  to prevent water quality degradation  and to

 protect  the  beneficial uses of waters  of  enclosed bays  and

 estuaries.   Decisions on water quality control  plans, waste

 discharge requirements, construction grant projects, water

 rights permits,  and other specific water  quality  control imple-

 menting  actions of the State and Regional Boards  shall  be

 consistent with the provisions of this policy.



'The Board declares its intent  to determine from time to time

 the need for revising this  policy.



 This policy  does not apply  to  wastes from vessels or land

 runoff except as specifically  indicated for siltation

 (Chapter III  4.) and combined  sewer flows (Chapter III  7.).

                                                          California
                 PRINCIPLES FOR MANAGEMENT OP

         WATER QUALITY IN ENCLOSED BAYS AND ESTUARIES
A.  It is the policy of the State Board that the discharge of


    municipal wastewaters and industrial process watersi=A


    (exclusive of cooling water discharges) ro enclosed bays and


    estuaries, other than the San Francisco Bay-Delta system, shall be


    phased out at the earliest practicable date.  Exceptions to


    this provision may be granted by a Regional Board only when


    the Regional Board finds that the wastewater in question


    would consistently be treated and discharged in such a


    manner that it would enhance the quality of receiving waters


    above that which would occur in the absence of the discharge. —






B.  With regard to the waters of the San Francisco Bay-Delta


    system, the State Board finds and directs as follows:


         la.  There is a considerable body of scientific


              evidence and opinion which suggests the


              existence of biological degradation due


              to long-term exposure to toxicants which


              have been discharged to the San Francisco


              Bay-Delta system.  Therefore, implementation


              of a program which controls toxic effects


              through a combination of source control for


              toxic materials, upgraded wastewater treatment,


              and improved dilution of wastewaters, shall


              proceed as rapidly as is practicable with the


              objective of providing full protection to the


              biota and the beneficial uses of Bay-Delta waters


              in a cost-effective manner.

                                                   California









Ib.  A comprehensive understanding of the biological



     effects of wastewater discharge on San Francisco



     Bay, as a whole, must await the results of



     further scientific study.  There is, however,



     sufficient evidence at this time to indicate



     that the continuation of wastewater discharges



     to the southern reach of San Francisco Bay,



     south of the Dumbarton Bridge, is an unacceptable con-



     dition.  The State Board and the San Francisco Regional



     Board shall take such action as is necessary to assure



     the elimination of wastewater discharges to waters



     of the San Francisco Bay, south of Dumbarton



     Bridge, at the earliest practicable date.








Ic.  In order to prevent excessive investment which



     would unduly impact the limited funds available



     to California for construction of publicly owned



     treatment works, construction of such works shall



     proceed in a staged fashion,  and each stage shall



     be fully evaluated by the State and Regional Boards



     to determine the necessity for additional expen-



     ditures.   Monitoring requirements shall be estab-



     lished to evaluate any effects on water quality,



     particularly changes  in  species  diversity



     and  abundance,  which  may  result  from  the



     operation  of  each  stage of  planned  facilities

                                                   California
     and source control programs.  Such a staged

     construction program,  in combination with an

     increased monitoring effort, will result in

     the most cost-effective and rapid progress ,

     toward a goal of maintaining and enhancing

     water quality in the San Francisco Bay-Delta

     system.


2.   Where a waste discharger has an alternative of

     in-bay or ocean disposal and where both alter-

     natives offer a similar degree of environmental

     and public health protection, prime consideration

     shall be given to the alternative which offers

     the greater degree of flexibility for the

     implementation of economically feasible waste-

     water reclamation options.

C.  The following policies apply to all of California's enclosed


    bays and estuaries:



          1.  Persistent or cumulative toxic substances shall


              be removed from the waste to the maximum extent


              practicable through source control or adequate


              treatment prior to discharge.


          2.  Bay or estuarine outfall and diffuser systems


              shall be designed to achieve the most rapid

                              4 /
              initial dilution—'  practicable to minimize con-


              centrations of substances not removed by source


              control or treatment.


          3.  Wastes shall not be discharged into or adjacent


              to areas where the protection of beneficial


              uses requires spatial separation from waste


              fields.


          4.  Waste discharges shall not cause a blockage of


              zones of passage required for the migration of


              anadromous fish.


          5.  Nonpoint sources of pollutants shall be controlled


              to the maximum practicable extent.

                   QaALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR
                       WASTE DISCHARGES
1.  In addition to any requirements of this policy, effluent
    limitations shall be> as specified pursuant to Chapter 5.5
    of the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, and Regional
    Boards shall limit the mass emissions of substances as
    necessary to meet such limitations.  Regional Boards may set
    more restrictive mass emission rates and concentration
    standards than those which are referenced in this policy to
    reflect dissimilar tolerances to wastewater constituents
    among different receiving water bodies.
2.  All dischargers of thermal wastes or elevated temperature
    wastes to enclosed bays and estuaries which are permitted pur-
    suant to this policy shall comply with the "Water Quality
    Control Plan for Control of Temperature in the Coastal and
    Interstate Waters and Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of Califonia",
    State Water Resources Control Board, 1972, and with amend-
    ments and supplements thereto.
3.  Radiological limits for waste discharges  (for which regulatory
    responsibility is not preempted by the Federal Government)
    shall be at least as restrictive as limitations indicated in
    Section 30269, and Section 30355, Appendix A, Table II, of
    the California Administrative Code.
4.  Dredge spoils to be disposed of in bay and estuarine waters
    must comply with federal criteria for determining the accept-
    ability of dredged spoils to marine waters, and must be
    certified by the State Board or Regional  Boards as in compliance
    with State Plans and Policies.

C.  Administration of Clean Water Grants Program
    The Clean Water Grants Program shall require that the
    environmental impact report for any existing or proposed
    wastewater discharge to enclosed bays and estuaries,
    other than the San Francisco Bay-Delta system, shall
    evaluate whether or not the discharge would enhance
    the quality of receiving waters above that which would
    occur in the absence of the discharge.

    The Clean Water Grants Program shall require that each
    study plan and project report  (beginning with F. Y. 1974-75
    projects) for a proposed wastewater treatment or conveyance
    facility within the San Francisco Bay-Delta system shall
    contain an evaluation of the degree to which the proposed
    project represents a necessary and cost-effective stage in
    a program leading to compliance with an objective of  full
    protection of the biota and beneficial uses of Bay-Delta
    waters.

D.  Administration of Water Rights
    Any applicant for a  permit  to  appropriate  from a water-
    course which is  tributary  to an enclosed bay or estuary
    may be required  to present  to  the State Board  an analysis
    of  the anticipated effects  of  the proposed appropriation
    on  water  quality and beneficial uses  of the effected bay
    or  estuary.

E.  Monitoring Program



    The Regional Board shall require dischargers to conduct



    self-monitoring programs and submit reports as- necessary



    to determine compliance with waste discharge requirements



    and to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater control



    programs.  Such monitoring programs shall comply with



    applicable sections of the State Board's Administrative



    Procedures, and any additional guidelines which may be



    issued by the Executive Officer of the State Board.

                            FOOTNOTES


I/  Enclosed bays are indentations along the coast which
    enclose an area of oceanic -water within distinct headlands
    or harbor works.  Enclosed bays include all bays where the
    narrowest distance between headlands or outer .most harbor
    works is less than 75 percent of the greatest dimension
    of the enclosed portion of the bay.   This definition
    includes, but is not limited to:  Humboldt Bay, Bodega
    Harbor, Tomales Bay, Drakes Estero,  San Francisco Bay,
    Morro Bay, Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, Upper and Lower
    Newport Bay, Mission Bay, and San Diego Bay.

    Estuaries, including coastal lagoons, are waters at the
    mouths of streams which serve as mixing zones for fresh
    and ocean waters.
    Mouths of streams which are temporarily separated from the
    ocean by sandbars shall be considered as estuaries.
    Estuarine waters will generally be considered to extend
    from a bay or the open ocean to a point upstream where
    there is no significant mixing of fresh water and seawater.
    Estuarine waters shall be considered to extend seaward if
    significant mixing of fresh and saltwater occurs in the open
    coastal waters.  Estuarine waters include, but are not
    limited to, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, as defined
    by Section 12220 of the California Water Code, Suisun Bay,
    Carquinez Strait downstream to Carquinez Bridge, and
    appropriate areas of the Smith, Klamath, Mad, Eel, Noyo,
    and Russian Eivers.


2/  For the purpose of this policy, treated ballast waters and
~"   innocuous nonmunicipal wastewater such as clear brines, wash-
    water, and pool drains are not necessarily considered industrial
    process wastes, and may be allowed by Regional Boards under dis-
    charge requirements that provide protection to the beneficial
    uses of the receiving water.

    Undiluted wastewaters covered under this exception provision
    shall not produce less than 90 percent survival, 50 percent of
    the time, and not less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of
    the time of a standard test species  in a 96-hour static or
    continuous flow bioassay test using undiluted waste.  Maintenance
    of these levels of survival shall not by themselves constitute
    sufficient evidence that the discharge satisfies the criteria
    of enhancing the quality of the receiving water above that
    which occur in the absence of the discharge.  Full and
    uninterrupted protection for the beneficial uses of the
    receiving water must be maintained.   A Regional Board may
    require physical, chemical, bioassay, and bacteriological
    assessment of treated wastewater quality prior to authorizing
    release to the bay or estuary of concern.

4/  Initial dilution zone is defined as the volume of water near
    the point of discharge within which the waste immediately
    mixes with the bay or estuarine water due to the momentum of
    the waste discharge and the difference in density between the
    waste and receiving water.

5/  A new discharge is a discharge for which a Regional Board has
    not received a report of waste discharge prior to the date
    of adoption of this policy, and which was not in existence
    prior to the date of adoption of this policy.

6/  Rubbish and refuse include any cans, bottles, paper, plastic,
    vegetable matter, or dead animals or dead fish deposited or
    caused to be deposited by man.

               WATER QUALITY CONTROL POLICY FOR THE
             ENCLOSED BAYS AND ESTUARIES OF CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS:
1.  The Board finds it necessary to promulgate water quality
    principles, guidelines, effluent quality requirements, and
    prohibitions to govern the disposal of waste into the
    enclosed bays and estuaries of California;

2.  The Board, after review and analysis of testimony received
    at public hearings, has determined that it is both feasible
    and desirable to require that the discharge of municipal
    wastewaters and industrial process waters to enclosed bays
    and estuaries (other than the San Francisco Bay-Delta system)
    should only be allowed when a discharge enhances the quality
    of the receiving water above that which would occur in the
    absence of the discharge-

3.  The Board has previously promulgated requirements for the
    discharge of thermal and elevated temperature wastes to
    enclosed bays and estuaries (Water Quality Control Plan for
    Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate Waters
    and Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of California - SWRCB, 1972);

4.  The Board, after review and analysis of testimony received
    at public hearings, has determined that implementation of a
    program which controls toxic effects through a combination
    of source control for toxic materials, upgraded waste treat-
    ment,  and improved dilution of wastewaters, will result in
    timely and cost-effective progress toward an objective of
    providing full protection to the biota and beneficial uses
    of San Francisco Bay-Delta waters;

5.  The Board intends to implement monitoring programs to determine
    the effects of source control programs, upgraded treatment,
    and improved dispersion of wastewaters on the condi tion of
    the biota and beneficial uses of San Francisco Bay-Delta
    waters.


THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that

1.  The Board hereby adopts the "Water Quality Control Policy
    for the Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of California".

2.  The Board hereby directs all affected California Regional
    Water Quality Control Boards to implement the provisions of
    the policy.

              GENERAL WATER QUALITY PROVISIONS

1.  Additional limitations shall be imposed in individual cases
    if necessary for the protection of specific beneficial uses
    and areas of special biological significance.   When additional
    limitations are established, the extent of surface heat
    dispersion will be delineated by a calculated  1-1/2°F
    isotherm which encloses an appropriate dispersion area.  The
    extent of the dispersion area shall be:

    A.  Minimized to achieve dispersion through the vertical
        water column rather than at the surface or  in shallow
        water.

    B.  Defined by the Regional Board for each existing and
        proposed discharge after receipt of a report prepared
        in accordance with the implementation section of this
        plan.

2.  The cumulative effects of elevated temperature waste
    discharges shall not cause temperatures to be  increased
    except as provided in specific water quality objectives
    contained herein.

3.  Areas of special biological significance shall be designated
    by the State Board after public hearing by the Regional
    Board and review of its recommendations.

4.  Regional Boards may, in accordance with Section 316(a) of
    the Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, and
    subsequent federal regulations including 40 CFR 122,  grant
    an exception to Specific Water Quality Objectives in this
    Plan.  Prior to becoming effective, such exceptions and
    alternative less stringent requirements must receive the
    concurrence of the State Board.

5.  Natural water temperature will be compared with waste
    discharge temperature by near-simultaneous measurements
    accurate to within 1°F.  In lieu of near-simultaneous
    measurements, measurements may be made under calculated
    conditions of constant waste discharge and receiving water
    characteristics.

                       IMPLEMENTATION
1.  The State Water Resources Control Board and the California
    Regional Water Quality Control Boards will administer this
    plan by establishing waste discharge requirements for dis-
    charges of elevated temperature wastes.

2.  This plan is effective as of the date of adoption by the
    State Water Resources Control Board and the sections
    pertaining to temperature control in each of the policies
    and plans for the individual interstate and coastal waters
    shall be void and superseded by all applicable provisions
    of this plan.

3.  Existing and future dischargers of thermal waste shall
    conduct a study to define the effect of the discharge on
    beneficial uses and, for existing discharges,  determine
    design and operating changes which would be necessary to
    achieve compliance with the provisions of this plan.

4.  Waste discharge requirements for existing elevated tempera-
    ture wastes shall be reviewed to determine the need for
    studies of the effect of the discharge on beneficial uses,
    changes in monitoring programs and revision of waste
    discharge requirements.

5.  All waste discharge requirements shall include a time
    schedule which assures compliance with water quality
    objectives by July 1, 1977, unless the discharger can
    demonstrate that a longer time schedule is required to
    complete construction of necessary facilities; or, in
    accordance with any time schedule contained in guidelines
    promulgated pursuant to Section 304(b) of the Federal
    Water Pollution Control Act.

6.  Proposed dischargers of elevated, temperature wastes may be
    required by the Regional Board to submit such studies prior
    to the establishment of waste discharge requirements.  The
    Regional Board shall include in its requirements appropriate
    postdischarge studies by the discharger.

7.  The scope of any necessary studies shall be as outlined by
    the Regional Board and shall he designed to include the
    following as applicable to an individual discharge:

    A.  Existing conditions in the aquatic environment.

    B.  Effects of the existing discharge on beneficial uses.

    C.  Predicted conditions in the aquatic environment with
        waste discharge facilities designed and operated in
        compliance with the provisions of this plan.

                                                           California

    D.  Predicted effects of the proposed discharge on
        beneficial uses.

    E.  An analysis of costs and benefits of various design
        alternatives.

    F.  The extent to  which intake and outfall structures, are
        located and designed so that the intake of planktonic
        organisms is at a minimum, waste plumes are prevented
        from touching  the ocean substrate or shorelines,  and
        the waste is dispersed into an area of pronounced
        along-shore or offshore currents.

8.  All waste discharge requirements adopted for discharges
    of elevated temperature wastes shall be monitored in
    order to determine compliance  with effluent or receiving
    water temperature  (or heat) requirements.

    Furthermore,  for significant thermal discharges as
    determined by the  Regional Board or State, Regional
    Boards shall require expanded monitoring programs, to
    be carried out either on a continuous or periodic basis,
    designed to assess whether the source continues to provide
    adequate protection to beneficial uses (including the
    protection and propagation of  a balanced indigenous
    community of fish, shellfish,  and wildlife, in and on
    the body of water  into which the discharge is made).
    When periodic expanded monitoring programs are specified,
    the frequency cf the program shall reflect the probable
    impact of the discharge.

9.  The State Board or Regional Board may require a discharger(s)
    to pay a public agency or other appropriate person an amount
    sufficient to carry out the expanded monitoring program
    required pursuant  to paragraph 8 above if:

    A.  The discharger has previously failed to carry
        out monitoring programs in a manner satisfactory
        to the State Board or Regional Board, or;

    B.  More than a single facility, under separate
        ownerships, may significantly affect the thermal
        characteristics of the body of water, and the
        owners of such facilities are unable to reach
        agreement on a cooperative program within a
        reasonable time period specified by the State
        Board or Regional Board.

  WHEREAS the  California Legislature has declared that  it  is  the
  policy of the  State that the granting cf  permits and  licenses
  for unappropriated water ar.d the disposal cf wastes Into the
  waters of the  Sta-e shall be so regulated as to achieve  highest
  water quality  consistent with maximum benefit to the  people of
  the State and  shall be controlled so as to  prcsote the peace,
  health, safety ana welfare cf the people  of the State; and

  WHEREAS water  quality control policies have been and  are being
  adopted for  waters of the State; and

  WHEREAS the  ctfality~of some waters of the State is higher than
  that established by the adcp-ed poliri.es  and it is the intent
  and purpose  of this Board that such higher  quality shall be
  maintained to  the maximum extent possible consistent  with the
  declaration  of the Legislature;
€
  »W, THEREFORE, 3E IT RESOLVED:
    Whenever the existing quality of water is  better than the
    quality established in policies as of the  date on which
    such policies become effective, such existing high quality
    will "be maintained until it has been demonstrated to the
    State that any charge will be consistent with maximum bene-
    fit to the people of the State, will not unreasonably affect
    present and anticipated beneficial use of  such water and
    will not result in water quality less than that prescribed
    in the policies,

2.  Any activity which produces or may produce a waste or in-
    creased volume or concentration of waste and which dis-
    charges or proposes to discharge to existing high quality
    waters will be required to meet waste discharge requirements
    which will result in the best practicable  treatment or con-
    trol of the discharge necessary to assure  that (a) a pollu-
    tion or nuisance will not occur and (b) the highest water
    quality consistent with maximum benefit to the peoole of
    the State will be maintained.

3.  In implementing this policy, the Secretary of the Interior
    will be kept advised and will be provided  with such infor-
    mation as he will need to discharge his responsibilities
    under the Federal V/ater Pollution Control  Act.

Antidecradation




          Waters with existing quality better than




established standards as of the date such standards




become effective will be maintained at their existing




high quality.  These waters of the state will not be




lowered in such unless and until it has been affirma-




tively demonstrated to the Commissioner that such




change is justifiable as a result of necessary econ-




omic or social development and unless it will not




interfere with or become injurious to any assigned




uses made of, or presently possible in, such waters.






Criteria Applicable to All Waters of the Stats




          The waters shall be free from chemical




constituents in concentrations or combinations which




would be harmful to human, animal, or aquatic life




for the most sensitive and governing water use class.




          The discharge of radioactive materials in




concentrations or combinations which would be harmful




to human, animal, or aquatic life shall not be allowed.




In no case shall the Alpha emitters in a surface water




exceed a concentration of 100 picocuries per liter.

     4.  The waters shall be free from chemical constituents in concentration, or
combinations which would be harmful to human, animal or aquatic life for the most
sensitive and governing water use class.  Criteria for chemical constituents
contained in the "Quality Criteria for Water" published by the Environmental
Protection Agency shall be considered and used as guidance.  In areas where fisheries
are the governing considerations and approved limits have not been established,
bioassays are necessary to establish limits on toxic substances, the recommendations
for bioassay procedures contained in "Standard Methods for  'the Examination of
Water shall be considered.  For public drinking water supplies, the raw water sources
 must be of such a quality that U.S. Environmental Protection Agency limits as
defined by the Safe Drinking Water Act (Public Law 93-523), or state limits if more
stringent, for finished water can be met after conventional treatment.

     6.  Reasonable controls may be defined by the Commissioner on a case by
case basis or the Commissioner may require that it be affirmatively demonstrated
by any person or municipality engaged in such activities that all reasonable controls
will be or are being used.

     8.  Except within designated dredged material disposal areas, waters shall be
substantially free of pollutants that:  a)  unduly affect the composition of
bottom fauna;  b)  unduly affect the physical or chemical nature of the bottom;
and  c)  interfere with the propagation and habitats of shellfish, finfish, and
wildlife.  Dredged materials dumped at approved disposal areas shall not pollute the
waters of the State and shall not result in; a)  floating residues of any sort;
b)  release of any substance, biological or chemical constituents which may result
in long-term or permanent degradadaion of Water Quality Standards overlying or
adjacent to the dumping grounds; c)  unintentional dispersal of sediments outside
a mixing zone enclosing the designated dump points;  and d)  biological mobilization
and subsequent transport of toxic substances to food chains.

data evaluation and are related to the probability of contamination by  undisinfected
sewaye.  High results may be due to soil bacteria or bacteria from the  feccs of
warm  blooded animals which are not of sanitary significance.  High results should
therefore be investigated by sanitary survey or other appropriate means to con (in..
the cause.  Fecal coliform (i.e. coliform organisms from the feces of warm blooded
animals), may be useful as a secondary indicator.  Although the reliability of

           DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL

                      WATER QUALITY STANDARDS FOR STREAMS
Section 1 - Uses
     1.   It is the policy of the State to maintain within its jurisdiction a
         reasonable quality of water consistent with public health and public
         recreation purposes, the propagation and protection of fish and wildlife,
         including birds, mammals and all other terrestrial and aquatic life, as
         well as the industrial development of the State.

     2.   Where conflicts develop between stated water uses, stream criteria or
         discharge criteria, water uses designated for each segment shall be
         paramount yi determining the required stream criteria, which, in turn,
         shall be the basis of specific discharge limits.

Section  2 - Antidegradation Statement

     1.   Delaware stream water quality shall be maintained so that existing
         beneficial uses are protected.  Any actions that would interfere with
         or become injurious to existing uses shall be prohibited.

     2.   High quality waters shall be maintained at their designated high quality
         unless it is shown by the discharger to the satisfaction of the Department
         that limited degradation is economically and environmentally justifiable.

     3.   Degradation in violation of any water quality criteria or standards con-
         tained herein shall be prohibited.

     4.   Upon receipt for an application for a permit to discharge into a stream
         segment or subsegment designated as high quality waters, whether an
         intermittent stream or not, a public hearing may be held in accordance
         with the provisions of 7 Del. C. s6004 and 6006.  It shall be the
         responsibility of the applicant to demonstrate that the proposed discharge
         will not cause degradation of such high quality waters, or that limited
         degradation is economically and environmentally justifiable.  This shall
         include, inter alia, an evaluation of alternative discharge sites and
         waste disposal methods.

     5.   The hearing requirement imposed by s2.4 above shall not be construed
         to impose a requirement for an additional public hearing where such a
         hearing is otherwise held pursuant to law, provided the requirements of
         this section are thereby met.

     6.   In implementing this policy, the Department of Natural Resources and
         Environmental Control shall keep the Administrator of the Environmental
         Protection Agency or his designee advised and shall provide him with any
         information he may need to discharge his responsibilities under the
         Federal Clean Water Act of 1977 as amended.

Section  3 - General Stream Criteria

     1.   The following minimum conditions shall be applicable to all waters,
         including intermittent streams, at all times.
-------
                                                              Delaware
(«)   The water shall not contain substances attributable to municipal,
     industrial,  agricultural or other discharges in concentrations or
     amounts sufficient to be harmful or adverse to water uses to be
     protected,  or to humans, fish, aquatic life and wildlife;

(b)   Water quality shall not disturb ecological food webs nor exceed
     standards for reproduction and growth of fish normally present;

(c)   Water shall be free of floating solids, sludge deposits, debris,
     oil and scum.

     The District of Columbia designates the-^cll owing uses to be
protected in various interstate waters.   The alphabetical designations
are keyed to the table of Stream Sections and Their Water Uses (Table I).
The water use categorizations are not necessarily reflective of relative
water quality.

  Category          Water Use
     A         Primary Water Contact Recreation:  any activities that
               require prolonged intimate water contact and involve
               risks of ingestion.   Included are swimming, wading and
               any water contact sports.
     B         Secondary Water Contact Recreation:  any activities on or
               near the water.  Included are recreational boating,
               fishing and recreation along the shores.

     C         Propagation of Aquatic Life and Wildlife.
     D         Public Water Supply.
     E         Industrial Water Supply.

     F         Navigation.

                                                     District of Columbia

4.   Temperature
          For all existing thermal  pollution sources -  rlo increase in
     natural water temperature caused by artifical  heat inputs shall
     exceed 5°F after reasonable allowance far-Mixing.   Maximum water
     temperature shall not exceed 90°F.  There shall be no sudden or
     localized temperature changes  that may adversely affect aquatic
     life.

          For all new or expanded sources - The allowable thermal
     loading* will be based on "site specific thermal requirements"
     The two upper limiting temperature values, necessary for the
     protection of important aquatic species, (temperature sensitive
     species found in the vicinity of discharge, at that time) shall
     be determined as follows:

     A.   The first limiting value is a maximum temperature for short
          exposures that is time dependent and is given by the species
          specific equation:
          Temperature (°C) = (1/b) (log-jQ time (min)-a) -2°C
     where:  log-|Q = logarithm to base  10  (common logarithm)
          a. =  intercept on the  "y" or  logarithmic axis of the line
                fitted to experimental data and which is available
                from Appendix II-C, National Academy of Sciences, 1974
                for some species.
          b. =  slope of the line fitted to experimental data  and
                available from Appendix  II-C, National Academy of
                Sciences, 1974 for some  species.
                                     - 2  -
-------
                                            District of Columbia
B.   The second value is a limit on the weekly average temperature
     that:
     (1)  in the cooler months (mid-October to mid-April) will
          •protect against mortality of important aquatic species if
          the elevated plume temperature is suddenly dropped to the
          ambient temperature, with the limit being the acclimation
          temperature minus 2°C when the lower lethal  threshold
          temperature equals the ambient water temperature.

     (2)  In the warmer months (April through October) is determined
          by adding to the physiological optimum temperature (usually
          for growth).a factor calculated as one-third of the
          difference between the ultimate upper incipient lethal
          temperature and the optimum temperature for the most
          sensitive important aquatic species.
or
     (3)  During reproductive seasons (generally April through June
          and September through October) the limit is that temperature
          that meets site-specific requirements for successful
          migration, spawning, egg incubation,  fry rearing, and
          other reproductive functions of important aquatic species.
          These local requirements should supersede all other
          requirements when they are applicable.

                                                  D-fstrict of Columbia
          (4)  There is a site-specific limit that is  found necessary  to
              preserve normal species diversity or prevent appearance
              of nuisance organisms.

5.    Suspended Solids
          For all interstate waters - Not more than 80 mg/1 (seasonal
     average concentration).

Stream Categories (Water-Use Classifications)
   Streams and stream reaches not listed below for specific water-use
classification will fit into the following categorical classifications:
   a)  All stream reaches immediately downstream from point wastewater
       sources will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis as NPDES permits
       are issued for those sources.  If it is determined, based on
       information from the U.S. Geological Survey, that a stream would
       be intermittent, ephemeral, or a combination thereof if the flow
       were not sustained by treated wastewaters, such streams are
       classified as fishing and will be regulated  under mixing zone re-
       quirements, with mixing zone length and/or duration to be set
       on a case-by-case basis.
   b)  Streams and stream reaches not specifically classified below and not
       covered by a^ above are classified as fishing.

Standards.*


   (1) Purpose. The establishment of water quality standards.

   (2) Water Quality Enhancement:

   (a) The purposes and intent of the State in establishing Water
 Quality Standards are to provide enhancement of water quality ami
 prevention of pollution; to  protect the public  health or welfare in
 accordance  with the public interest  for drinking water  supplies,
 conservation of fish, game  and other beneficial  aquatic  life, and
 agricultural, industrial, recreational,  and other beneficial uses.

   (b) Those waters in the State whose existing quality  is better
 than the minimum levels  established  in  standards  on  the date-
 standards become effective will be maintained at high quality; with
 the State having the power to authorize new developments, when
 *Applicable to Intrastate and Interstate Waters of Georgia
 it has been affirmatively demonstrated to  the State that  a change
 is justifiable to provide necessary social or economic development;
 and provided further that the level  of treatment required is  the
 highest  and best practicable under existing  technology to protect
 existing beneficial water uses.

   (c) In applying these policies and requirements,  the  State of
 Georgia will recognize  and  protect  the interest of the Federal
 Government in interstate (including  coastal and estuarine) waters.
 Toward  this end the State  will consult, and cooperate  with  the
 Environmental  Protection  Agency  on  all matters  affecting  the
 Federal interest.

   (3) Definitions. All terms used in this Paragraph shall be inter-
 preted in accordance with definitions as set forth  in the Act and as
 otherwise herein defined:

   (b) "Shellfish" refers to  clams, oysters,  scallops, mussels,  and
 other mollusks.
   (d) "Coastal waters" are those  littoral recreational waters on
 the ocean  side of the Georgia coast.

   (5) General Criteria for All  Waters. The  following criteria  are
 deemed to be necessary and applicable to all waters of the State:

   (a) All  waters  shall  be  free from  materials associated with
 municipal  or domestic sewage, industrial waste or any other waste
 which will settle  to form sludge deposits that become putrescent,
 unsightly  or otherwise objectionable.

   (b) All waters shall be free from  oil, scum and floating debris
 associated with municipal or domestic sewage, industrial  waste or
 other discharges in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or to interfere
 with legitimate water uses.

   (c) All  waters shall be free from  material related to municipal,
 industrial  or other discharges which  produce turbidity, color, odor
 or other objectionable conditions which interfere with legitimate
 •water uses.

   (d) All waters shall be  free from toxic, corrosive, acidic  and
 caustic  substances discharged  from municipalities,  industries or
 other sources in amounts, concentrations or combinations which are
 harmful to humans, animals or aquatic life.
-------
  (e) Applicable State and Federal requirements and regulations
for the discharge of radioactive substances shall be met at all times.

  (f) No man-made physical or other alteration of stream beds
that may violate established water quality  standards, or reduce
the waste assimilative capacity  of  the streams, will be permitted
without the expressed approval of the Environmental  Protection
Division.

  (6) Specific Criteria for Classified Water  Usage. The following
criteria are deemed necessary and shall be required for the specific
water usage as shown:

   (b)  Recreation:
  1. General recreational activities such as water skiing, boating,
and swimming,  or for any  other use requiring water of a  lower
quality. These criteria are not to be interpreted as condoning water
contact sports  in proximity  to  sewage or industrial waste dis-
charges regardless of treatment requirements:

  (i) Bacteria:   Fecal coliform not to exceed a geometric mean of:

  (I)  Coastal Waters                       - 100 per 100 ml

  (II)  All other recreational waters         - 200 per 100 ml

  (III)  Should water quality and sanitary studies show natural
fecal coliform levels exceed 200/100 ml (geometric mean) occasion-
ally in high quality recreational waters, then the allowable geometric
mean fecal coliform level shall not exceed 300 per 100 ml in lakes
and reservoirs  and 500  per 100 ml  in free flowing fresh water
streams.

  I, The  geometric  mean will be used as the method of criteria
expression. This technique  will  be applied to no  less than  four
samples collected from a given sampling site over a 30-day period
at intervals not less than 24 hours.

  (ii)  Dissolved Oxygen: A daily average of 6.0 mg/1 and no less
than 5.0 mg/1 at all times for waters designated as trout streams
by the State Game and Fish Division. A daily average of 5.0  mg/1
and no less than 4.0 mg/'l at all times for waters  supporting warm
water species of fish.

  (iii) pH: Within the  range of 6.0 - 8.5.

  (iv)  Toxic Wastes, Other Deleterious Materials: None in  con-
centrations that would harm man, fish and game or other beneficial
aquatic life.

  (v) Temperature: Not to exceed 90°F. At no time is the tempera-
ture of the receiving waters to be increased more than 53F above
intake  temperature except that  in estuarine waters the  increase
will not be more than  1.5'F. In streams designated  as  trout  or
smallmouth bass waters by the State Game  and  Fish  Division,
there shall be no elevation or depression of natural stream tempera-
tures.

    than 5.0 mg 1  at all times for waters designated as trout streams
    by the State Game and Fish Division. A daily average of 5.0 mg/1
    and no less than 4.0 mg/1 at all times for waters supporting warm
    water  species of fish.

       2. pH: Within  the range of 6.0 - 8.5.

       3. Bacteria:  Fecal coliform not to exceed a geometric mean of
    1,000 per 100 ml based on at least four  samples taken over a 30-
    day period and not exceed a maximum of 4,000 per 100 ml.

       4. Bacteria:  (Applicable only to waters designated as approved
    shellfish harvesting waters by the appropriate State agencies)  The
    requirements will be consistent with those established by the State
    and Federal agencies responsible for the National Shellfish Sanita-
    tion Program.
^^wi
•s
  5. Temperature: Not to exceed 90 F. At no time is the tempera-
ture of the receiving waters to be increased more than 5  F above
intake temperature except  that  in  cstuarine  waters the  increase
will not be more than 1.5 F. In streams designated as trout or small-
  outh bass waters by the State Game and Fish  Division, there
shall be  no elevation or depression of natural stream temperatures.
      6. Toxic  Wastes, Other  Deleterious Materials:  None  in  con-

3.   CLASSIFICATION OF WATER USES

    3.1 The following use categories classify inland and marine waters for purposes
       of applying the standards set forth in this Chapter and for the selection or
       definition of appropriate quality parameters and uses to be protected in
       these waters.

    3.2 Inland Waters
       (A) CLASS 1
           (1) General - It is the objective of this class that these waters remain in
              their natural state as nearly as possible with an absolute minimum
              of pollution  from any human-caused source. To the extent possible,
              the wilderness character of such areas shall  be protected. Waste
              discharge into these waters is prohibited.
           (2) CLASS  l.a - The uses to be protected in this class of waters are
              scientific and educational purposes, protection of breeding stock
              and baseline references from which human-caused changes can be
              measured,  compatible recreation, aesthetic enjoyment, and other
              non-degrading uses which are compatible with the protection of the
              ecosystems  associated with waters of this class.
           (3) CLASS l.b  - The uses to be protected in this class of waters are for
              domestic water supplies, food processing, the support and propaga-
              tion of aquatic life, compatible recreation, and aesthetic enjoyment.
              Public access to waters in  this class may be  restricted to protect
              water quality.
       (B) CLASS 2 - It is the objective of this class of waters that their use for
           recreational purposes, propagation of fish and other aquatic life, and
           agricultural and industrial water supply be protected.
              The uses to  be protected in  this class of waters are all uses compat-
           ible with the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife,
           and with recreation in and on these waters. Such waters shall not act as
           receiving waters for any discharge which has not received the best
           degree of treatment or control compatible with the criteria established
           for this class. No new industrial or sewage discharges will be permitted
            within estuaries.

    3.3 Marine Waters
       (A) CLASS AA - It is the objective of this class that these waters remain in
            their natural  pristine state as nearly as possible with an absolute
            minimum of pollution or alteration of water quality from any human-
-------
                                                                                 Hawaii
       caused source or actions. To the extent practicable,  the wilderness
       character of such areas shall be protected. No zones of mixing shall be
       permitted in this class within a defined reef area, in waters of a depth
       less than ten fathoms or in waters up to a distance of 1,000 feet offshore
       if there is no defined reef area and if the depth  is greater  than  ten
       fathoms.
          The uses to be protected in this class of waters are oceanographic
       research, the support and propagation of shellfish and other marine
       life,  conservation of coral reefs  and  wilderness  areas, compatible
       recreation, and aesthetic enjoyment.
          The classification of any water area as Class AA shall not preclude
       other uses of such waters compatible with these objectives and in con-
       formance with the criteria applicable to them.
          The classification of any water area as Class AA shall not preclude
       other uses of such waters compatible with these objectives and in con-
       formance with the criteria applicable to them.
   (B) CLASS A - It is the objective of this class of waters that their use for
       recreational purposes and aesthetic enjoyment be protected.
           Any other use shall be permitted as long as it is compatible with the
       protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife, and with
       recreation in and on these waters. Such waters shall not act as receiving
       waters for any discharge which has  not received the best degree of
       treatment or control compatible with the criteria established for this
       class. No new industrial or sewage discharges will be permitted within
       embayments.

3.4 Marine  Bottom Ecosystems
   (A) CLASS I - It is the objective of this  class of marine bottom ecosystems
       that they remain as nearly as possible in their natural  pristine state
       with an  absolute  minimum of pollution from any  human-induced
       source.
           Uses of marine bottom ecosystems in this class are passive human
       uses without intervention or alteration, allowing the perpetuation  and
       preservation of the marine bottoms  in a most natural state, such as for
       nonconsumptive scientific research  (demonstration,  observation or
       monitoring only),  nonconsumptive education, aesthetic  enjoyment,
       passive activities, and preservation.
    (B) CLASS II - It is the objective of this class of marine bottom ecosystems
       that their use for protection and/or propagation of fish, shellfish,  and
        wildlife, and for recreational purposes not  be limited  in any way.
            The uses to be  protected in this class of marine bottom ecosystems
        are all uses compatible with the protection and propagation of fish,
        shellfish, and wildlife,  and with recreation. Any action  which may
        permanently or completely modify, alter, consume, or degrade marine
        bottoms, such as structural flood control (channelization, dams); land-
        fill  and reclamation; navigational structures (harbors, ramps); struc-
        tural shore protection (seawalls, revetments); and wastewater effluent
        outfall structures may be allowed  upon securing approval in writing

           from the Director of Health, considering the environmental impact
           and the public interest pursuant to HRS 342-6, 342-32 and -33 and in
           accordance  with the applicable provisions of  the Administrative
           Procedures Act, Chapter 91, H.R.S.
4.   BASIC WATER QUALITY CRITERIA APPLICABLE
    TO ALL WATERS

       AH waters shall be free of substances attributable to domestic, industrial,
    or other controllable sources of pollutants and subject to verification by monitor-
    ing: as may be prescribed by the Director of Health, as follows:
       (A) Materials  that  will  settle  to form objectionable sludge or bottom
           deposits.
       (B) Floating debris, oil, grease, scum, or other floating materials.
       (C) Substances in amounts sufficient to produce taste or odor in the water
           or detectable off flavor in the flesh of fish, or in amounts sufficient to
           produce objectionable color, turbidity, or other conditions in the receiv-
           ing waters.
       (D) High temperatures; biocides; pathogenic organisms; toxic, radioactive,
           corrosive, or other deleterious substances at levels or in combinations
           sufficient to be toxic or harmful to human, animal, plant, or aquatic life,
           or in amounts sufficient to interfere with any beneficial use of the water.
           To identify the actual or potential effects of a discharge, as a minimum,
           a phytoplankton bioassay test or a 96-hour bioassay or both shall be
           required. The methods and test parameters shall be specified by the
           Director according  to established  procedures  in Section 10 of this
           Chapter, provided that modifications may be prescribed to meet con-
           ditions specific to the  disposal situation. Survival of test organisms
           shall not be less than that in controls which utilize appropriate experi-
           mental  water.  Field monitoring  may  be further required to insure
           conformance with this  standard as long as a discharge or a suspected
           discharge is occurring.
       (E) Substances or  conditions or  combinations thereof in concentrations
           which produce undesirable aquatic  life.
       (F) Soil particles resulting from erosion on land involved  in earthwork,
           such as the  construction of public works; highways; subdivisions;
           recreational, commercial, or  industrial developments; or the cultiva-
           tion and management of agricultural  lands.  This standard shall be
           deemed met upon a showing that the land on which the erosion occurred
           or is occurring is being managed in accordance with soil conservation
            practices  acceptable to the applicable soil and  water conservation
           district and the Director of Health, and that a comprehensive conser-
           vation program is being actively pursued, or that the  discharge has
            received the best degree of treatment or control, and that the severity
           of impact of the residual soil reaching the receiving body of water is
           deemed to be acceptable.

USES AND SPECIFIC CRITERIA APPLICABLE
TO INLAND WATERS

5.1 Definitions
    (A) "Streams" means seasonal or continuous water flowing in all or part of
       natural channels as a result of either .surface water runoff or ground
       water influx, or both. Streams may be either  "perennial"  or "inter-
       mittent."
       (1) "Perennial streams" means fresh waters flowing down altitudinal
           gradients in definite natural channels, portions of which may be
           modified. In such streams, flowing water is present all year though
           volume may vary. Such streams may be continuous, with water
           flowing to the ocean all year, or interrupted, having flow and/or
           ecologically significant bodies of water only in parts of the channel,
           with seasonal discharge to the ocean.
       (2) "Intermittent streams" means fresh  waters  flowing down  alti-
           tudinal gradients in definite natural channels only during part of
           the year.
    (B) "Deep" means greater than 6.6 feet or 2 meters.
    (C) "Shallow means less than 6.6 feet or 2 meters.
    (D) "Springs and seeps" means small, perennial, relatively constant fresh
       water flows not in distinct channels, such as wet films or trickles over
       rock  surfaces, in which the water emanates from elevated aquifers.
       Springs and seeps  may be either stream associated,  occurring in
       deeply cut valleys and contributing to stream flow; or coastal, occur-
       ring on coastal cliffs and usually flowing into the ocean.
    (E) "Natural lakes" means  deep standing water that is always fresh, in
       well-defined natural basins.
    F) "Reservoirs" means  deep standing water that is always fresh, in well-
       defined artificially created impoundments.
    (G) "Elevated wetlands"  means shallow standing water that  is always
       fresh, in more or less indistinct basins such as natural bogs, ponds, and
       marshes. Such wetlands are found in undisturbed areas, mainly remote
       uplands and forest reserves.
    (H) "Low wetlands" means shallow standing water that is always fresh,
        ponds or marshes. Such wetlands are found in lowland areas near coasts
       or in valley termini modified by man. Their origin may be  natural or
        man  made.
    (I) "Coastal wetlands" means natural or man-made ponds and marshes
        having variable salinity, basin limits, and permanence. Such wetlands
        usually adjoin the coastline but are not surface connected to the ocean
        except  in rare circumstances. They are usually without tidal fluctua-
        tions. Most are characterized by introduced biota, especially fishes.
    (J)  "Anchialine pools"  means standing waters that vary in salinity and
        basin limits and are not surface connected to the ocean except in rare
        circumstances. Such pools are natural brackish water exposures which
        are near coastlines in recent lavas (rarely, in fossil reefs) and which
        have tidal fluctuations. They are usually  small,  shallow pools of low

             salinity (1,000 to 10,000 ppm) with distinctive biota but usually no
             fishes.
         (K) "Estuaries" means deep characteristically brackish coastal waters in
             well-defined basins with a continuous or seasonal surface connection to
             the ocean that allows entry of marine fauna. Estuaries may be either
             natural, occurring mainly  at stream or river mouths; or developed,
             artificial or strongly modified from the natural state, such as dredged
             and revetted stream  termini.

     5.2 Water Areas to be Protected

          criteria for bottom biological communities which may be affected
          by proposed actions. Permanent benchmark  stations  may  be
          required where necessary for monitoring purposes. The  water
          quality standards for this subsection shall be deemed to be  met if
          time series surveys of benchmark stations  indicate no relative
          changes in the relevant biological communities, as noted by biolo-
          gical community indicators or by indicator organisms which may
          be applicable to the specific site.

7.3  Marine Pools and Protected Coves
    (A) Definitions
       (1) "Marine pools" means waters which collect in depressions  on sea
          level lava rock outcrops and solution benches and also behind large
          boulders  fronting the sea.  Pools farthest from the ocean have
          harsher environments and  less  frequent  renewal of water and
          support fewer animals. Those closest to the ocean are frequently
          renewed with  water, are essentially marine, and support more
          diverse fauna.
       (2) "Protected coves" means small  inlets  which are removed from
          heavy wave action or surge.
    (B) Water Areas to be Protected

7.5 Reef Flats and Reef Communities
   (A) Definitions
       (1) "Nearshore reef flats" means shallow platforms of reef rock, rubble,
          and sand  extending from the shoreline. Smaller, younger flats
          projected out as semicircular aprons while older, larger flats form
          wide continuous platforms.  Associated animals are mollusks,
          echinoderms, worms, crustaceans (many living beneath the sur-
          face), and reef-building corals.
       (2) "Offshore reef flats" means shallow, submerged platforms of reef
          rock and sand between depths of 0 to 3 meters (0 to 10 feet) which
          are separated from the shoreline of high volcanic islands by lagoons
          or ocean expanses. Dominant organisms are bottom-dwelling algae.
          Biological composition is extremely variable. There are three types:
-------
                                                                           Hawaii
       patch, barrier, and atoll reef flats; quite different from one another
       structurally. The presence of heavier wave action, water more
       oceanic  in  character, and the  relative absence of  terrigenous
       influences distinguish offshore reef flats.
    (3) "Wave exposed reef communities" means aggregations,, including
       scattered sand channels and  patches, dominated by corals. They%
       may be found at depths up to 40 meters (approximately 130 feet)
       along coasts subjected to continuous or heavy wave action and surge.
       Wave exposed reef communities are dominated biologically by
       benthic algae, reef-building corals, and echinoderms.
    (4) "Protected  reef communities" means hard bottom aggregations,
       including scattered sand channels and patches, dominated by living
       coral thickets, mounds, or platforms. They are found  at depths of
       10 to 30 meters (32 to 96 feet) along protected leeward coasts or in
       shallow water (up to  sea level) in sheltered lagoons behind atoll or
       barrier reefs and in the calm reaches of bays or coves.
(B) Water Areas to be Protected
    (1) CLASS I
       (a)  All reef flats and  reef communities in preserves,  reserves,

   (C) Specific criteria to be applied to all reef flats and reef communities:
       No action shall be undertaken which would substantially risk damage,
       impairment, or alteration of the biological characteristics of the areas
       named herein. When a determination of substantial risk is  made by the
       Director, the action shall be declared to be contrary to the  public
       interest and no other permits shall be issued pursuant to HRS Chapter
       342.
       (1) Oxidation-reduction  potential (En) in the uppermost 10 cm. (4
          inches) of sand patches shall not be less than +100 mv.
       (2) No more than 50%of the grain size distribution of sand patches shall
          be smaller than 0.125 mm. in diameter.
       (3) Episodic deposits of flood-borne soil sediment shall not occur in
          quantities  exceeding equivalent thicknesses  for longer than 24
          hours after a heavy rainstorm as follows:
          (a) No thicker than  an equivalent of 2 mm. (0.08 inch) on living
              coral surfaces.
          (b) No thicker than an equivalent of 5 mm. (0.2 inch) on other hard
              bottoms.
          (c) No thicker than an equivalent of 10 mm. (0.4 inch) on  soft
              bottoms.
          (d) The Director of Health shall determine parameters, measures,
              and criteria for bottom biological communities which may be
              affected by proposed actions. Permanent benchmark stations
              may be required where necessary for monitoring purposes.
              The water quality standards for this subsection shall be deemed
              to be met if time series surveys of benchmark stations indicate
              no relative changes in the relevant biological communities, as
              noted  by biological community indicators  or by indicator
              organisms which may be applicable to the specific site.

7.6 Soft Bottom Communities
    (A) Definition - "Soft bottom communities" means poorly described  and
       "patchy" communities,  mostly  of  burrowing  organism, living in
       deposits at depths between 2 to 40 meters (approximately 6 to 130 feet).
       The particle size of sediment, depth below sea level, and degree of water
       movement and associated sediment turnover dictate the composition
       of animals which rework  the bottom with burrows, trails, ripples,
       hummocks, and depressions.
    (B) Water Areas to be Protected - CLASS II - All soft bottom communities.
    (C) Specific Criteria to be Applied - Oxidation-reduction potential (En) in
       the uppermost 10 cm. (4 inches) of  sediment should not  be less than
       -100 mv.

8.  SPECIFIC CRITERIA FOR RECREATIONAL AREAS

       In inland recreational waters and marine recreational waters within 1,000
   feet of the shoreline, including1 natural public bathing areas:
       (A)  Fecal coliform content shall not exceed a geometric mean of 200 per
           100 ml. in ten or more samples collected during any 30-day period and
           not more than 10% of the samples shall exceed 400 per 100 ml. in the
           same period.
       (B)  Raw or inadequately treated sewage or other pollutants of public health
           significance, as determined  by  the  Director of Health, shall not be
           present in a natural public bathing or wading area.

9.  ZONES OF MIXING

   9.1 Definition - "Zones of mixing" means limited areas around outfalls and
       other facilities to allow for the initial dilution of waste discharges.

   9.2 Purpose - Zones of mixing for the assimilation of municipal, agricultural,
       and industrial discharges which have received the best degree of treatment
       or control are recognized as being  necessary. It is the objective of this
       limited zone to provide  for a current realistic means of control over the
       placement and  manner  of discharges or emissions so as to  achieve the
       highest attainable level of water quality or otherwise to achieve the mini-
       mum environmental impact considering initial dilution, dispersion, and
       reactions from substances which may be considered to be pollutants.

   9.3 Establishment, Renewal, and Termination
       (A) Application for  establishment of the zone of mixing shall be made
           concurrently with any discharge permits whenever applicable and the
           conditions of  the zone of mixing may be incorporated as conditions of
           such discharge permits. Every application for a zone of mixing shall
           be made on forms furnished by the Director of Health and shall be
           accompanied by a complete and detailed description of present con-
           ditions, how present conditions do not conform to standards, and such
           other information as the Director of Health may prescribe.
       (B)  Each application for a zone of mixing shall be reviewed in light of the
           descriptions,  statements, plans, histories, and other supporting infor-
            mation as may be submitted upon the request of the Director of Health,
           and in light  of the  effect or probable effect upon the water quality
            standards established pursuant to this Chapter.
       (C)  Whenever  an application is approved, the Director of Health shall
            establish the  zone of mixing, taking into account the environmental
            impact, including but not limited to such factors as the protected uses
            of the body of water, existing natural conditions of the receiving water,
            character of  the effluent, and the adequacy of the design of the outfall
            and diffuser  system to achieve maximum dispersion and assimilation
            of the treated or controlled  waste with a minimum of undesirable or
            noticeable  effect on the  receiving water.
       (D)  Approval of a zone of mixing shall be made either after a public hearing
                                    24

                                                                           Hawaii
    is held by the Director of Health in the county where the source is sit-
    uated, in accordance with the Hawaii Administrative Procedure Act
    and the Rules and Practice and Procedure of the Department of Health
    or after the public notification and comment process duly established
    for a discharge permit in the case when the zone of mixing is being
    considered concurrently with the discharge permit.
(E) No zone of mixing shall be granted by the Director of Health unless the
    application and the supporting information clearly show that:
    (1) The continuation of the function or operation involved in the dis-
       charge by the granting of the zone of mixing is in the public interest;
       and
    (2) The discharge occurring or proposed to occur does not substantially
       endanger human health or safety; and
    (3) Compliance with the existing water quality standards from which
       a zone of mixing is sought would produce serious hardships without
       equal or greater benefits to the public; and
    (4) The discharge occurring or proposed to occur does not violate the
       basic standards applicable  to all waters, will not unreasonably
       interfere with any actual or probable use of the water areas for
       which it is classified, and has received (or in the case of a proposed
       discharge will receive) the best degree of treatment or control.
(F) Any zone of mixing or renewal thereof shall be granted within the
    requirements of this section and for time periods and under conditions
    consistent with the reasons therefore and within the following limi-
    tations:
    (1) If the zone of mixing is granted on the ground that there is no prac-
       ticable means known or available  for the adequate prevention,
       control, or abatement of the discharge involved, it shall be only until
       the necessary means for prevention, control, or abatement become
       practicable, and subject to the taking of any substitute or alternate
       measures that the Director of Health may prescribe. No renewal
       of a zone of mixing granted  under this subsection shall be allowed
       without a thorough review of known and  available means of pre-
       venting, controlling, or abating the discharge involved.
    (2)  The Director of Health may  issue a zone of mixing for a period not
       exceeding five years.
    (3)  Every zone of mixing granted under this section shall include, but
        not be limited  to,  conditions requiring the grantee  to perform
        appropriate effluent  and  receiving  water sampling including
        monitoring of bottom biological communities and report the results
        of each sampling to the Director of Health. A program of research
        to develop practicable alternatives to the methods of treatment or
        control in use by the grantee  may be required if such research  is
        deemed prudent by the Director of Health.
 (G) Any zone of mixing granted pursuant to this  section may be renewed
    from time to time on terms and conditions and for periods not exceeding
    five years which would be appropriate on initial granting of a zone of
    mixing, provided that the applicant for  renewal had met all  of the
                             25

            conditions specified in the immediately preceding zone of mixing, and
            provided further that the renewal and the zone of mixing established
            in pursuance thereof shall provide for discharge notgrea'ter in quantity
            of mass emissions than that attained pursuant to the terms of the
            immediately preceding zone of mixing at its expiration. No renewal
            shall be granted except on application therefor. Any such application
            shall be made at least sixty days prior to the expiration of the zone of
            mixing.
        (H) No zone of mixing granted pursuant to this part shall be construed to
            prevent or limit the application of any emergency provisions and pro-
            cedures provided by law.
        (I)  The establishment of any zone of mixing shall be subject to the concur-
            rence of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
        (J)  The Director of Health, on his own motion or upon the application of
            any person, shall terminate a zone  of mixing if, after a hearing, he
            determines that the water area does not meet the basic criteria appli-
            cable to all water areas, or that the zone of mixing granted will unrea-
            sonably interfere with any actual or probable use of the water area,
            or that the discharge does not receive  (in the case of a new discharge
            will not receive)  the best treatment  or control.  Such termination
            shall be made only after a hearing held by the Director of Health on
            the  island where the area is  situated in accordance with the Hawaii
            Administrative  Procedure Act and  the Rules of  Practice and Proce-
            dure of the Department of Health. Upon such termination, the stan-
            dards of water  quality applicable thereto shall be those established
            for the water as otherwise classified.
        (K) Upon  expiration of the period stated  in  the designation, the zone of
            mixing shall  automatically  terminate  and no rights shall become
            vested in  the designee.

        These water quality criteria are based upon the best currently available
     data. Studies made in connection  with the implementation program may
     suggest improvements to  this Chapter.  For  this reason, the Chapter will be
     subject to periodic review and, where necessary, to change. Any change will
     be made only after public hearing, held in compliance with  the  Hawaii
     Administrative  Procedure Act and the Rules of Practice and Procedure of the
     Department of Health.

 12.  SEVERABILITY
        If any provision of this Chapter, or the application thereof to any person or
     circumstance, is held invalid, the invalidity does not affect other provisions or
     application of this Chapter which can be given effect without the invalid pro-
     vision or application, and to this end the provisions of this Chapter are severable.

 Antidegradation Statement
     It is  the policy of the Louisiana Stream Control
 Commission that all interstate waters and intrastate waters,
 portions thereof,  and coastal waters whose existing quality
 exceed the approved water quality standards will  be maintained
 at  their existing  high quality unless the state chooses  after
 full satisfaction  of the intergovernmental coordination  and
 public participation provisions of the State Continuing
 Planning Process to allow lower water quality as  a result of
 necessary  and justifiable economic and/or social  development,
 and further that such changes will not interfere  with or
 become injurious to the existing instrearn water uses.  The
'Louisiana  Stream Control Commission will disapprove any  waste
 discharge  that will cause water quality degradation of inter-
 state waters and intrastate waters, portions thereof,  and
 the coastal waters of Louisiana below the standards adopted
 by  the State of Louisiana and approved by the United States
 Environmental Protection Agency without complying with the
 Federal and State  of Louisiana laws applicable to the
 attainment of water quality standards.

Any industrial, public or private project or development
that would constitute a new source of pollution
or an increased source of pollution to any of the waters
in Louisiana will be required, as part of the initial prqject
design, to provide the highest and best degree of waste treat-
ment available under existing technology consistent with the
best practice in the area affected under the condition applicable
to the project or development.  Further, there shall be achieved
the highest statutory and regulatory requirements for all
existing point sources and feasible management or regulatory
programs pursuant to Section 208 of Public Law 92-500 for
nonpoint sources, both existing and proposed.  Additionally,
no degradation shall be allowed in high quality waters which
constitute an outstanding national resource  such as waters
of national and state parks and wildlife refuges, waters in
the state scenic rivers system and waters of exceptional
recreational or ecological significance.  This policy and
implementation method shall be consistent with Section 316
of 92-500 (Re: thermal discharges).  Consistent with the
provision of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act as
amended (1972) the Louisiana Stream Control Commission will
keep the United States Environmental Protection Agency
informed of its activities and will furnish the United
States Environmental Protection Agency informational
reports, in such form as the Administrator of the United
States Environmental Protection Agency may, from time to
time, reasonably require to carry out his function under
-------

the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
The Louisiana Stream Control Commission will consult and
cooperate with the United States Environmental Protection
Agency on matters that are proper consideration of the
Federal Agency; the United States Environmental Protection
Agency will reciprocate in matters that are a proper con-
sideration of the Louisiana Stream Control Commission.

General Criteria
    The following general criteria are applicable to the
surface waters of the State of Louisiana and specifically
apply with respect to substances attributed to waste dis-
charges or the activities of man as opposed to natural
phenomena.
    Natural waters may, on occasion, have characteristics
outside the limits established by these criteria; in which
case, these criteria do not apply.  The criteria adopted
herein relate to the condition of water as affected by
waste discharges or man's activities.
    These general criteria do not supercede specific ex-
ceptions to any one or more of the following if the exception
is specifically stated in a specific water quality standard.
All waters of the state shall be capable of supporting
desirable diversified aquatic life consisting of ^Ligenous
species of fish, shell fish and wildlife.

Classification of Surface Waters
                                                      t
        The surface waters of the state will be divided


into the following categories for ease of classification.


Where the geographical coverage of a particular identi-

fied water or segment is subject to interpretation, e.g.,


East Cote Blanche Bay, the segment limits shall be


defined by the maps included in the standards.



     1. River Basin Waters - those surface inland waters

        comprising the lakes, reservoirs, major rivers

        and their tributaries and including the tidal

        portion of the river to the extent that it is

        confined in a channel.  (This definition speci-


        fically does not apply to impoundments con-

        structed solely for waste treatment purposes.



     2. Coastal Basin Waters - those surface inland

        waters exclusive of number one (River Basin

        Waters) discharging or flowing or otherwise

        communicating with bays or the gulf including

        the tidal portion of streams to the extent that

        they are confined in channels.

-------
                                                   Louisiana



3.  Bay Waters - all tidal waters exclusive of




    those included in river basin waters,  coastal




    basin waters* and gulf waters.






4.  Gulf Waters - those waters which are not




    included in or form a part of any bay or




    estuary but which are a part of the open



    waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the limit of



    Louisiana's jurisdiction.

                                                                       Louisiana
WATER USE CLASSIFICATION:
Policy:
     It is the policy of the State of Louisiana that all  state waters
should be protected for recreational uses in and/or on the water and
for the preservation and propagation of desirable species of aquatic
biota such as indigeneous species of fish,-shellfish and  wildlife.
Use and value of water for public water supplies, agricultural, industrial,
and other purposes as well as navigation, shall also be considered  in
setting standards, but in no case, except as provided below, shall
the criteria supporting these uses be permitted to interfere with
recreational uses and the preservation of indigenous species of fish, shell-
fish, wildlife and desirable species of other aquatic biota.
     Recreational uses will be specified as either "primary contact" or
"secondary contact."  Desirable species of fish, shellfish, wildlife and
other aquatic biota will be specified as "fresh warm water," or "marine
waters."  All future designations of stream uses and their associated
criteria must, at a minimum, adhere to these classifications except as
provided below.

Exceptions:
     Some waters, because of naturally occurring poor quality, man-made
pollution or technological limitations may qualify for an excepted  classi-
fication.  This  determination, however, will be made on a case-by-case
basis following  the analysis of each such area.  In all cases where
exceptions are proposed the concurrence of the Regional Administrator of
the United States Environmental-Protection Agency will  first be obtained.
-------
                                                                           Louisian
 In any case where the exception is based on technological  limitations,  the
 exception will  be temporary, i.e., the exception will  be reviewed at least
 every three years as required by Section 303 (c) of Public Law 92-500 to
 determine the possibility of upgrading.
      In applying this policy, the terms  "recreational  uses" and "desirable
 species of aquatic biota" will  be given  common sense application.  The
 existence of man-made pollution will  be  reviewed as a  problem to be
 solved, not as  an impediment against  assigning this use classification.
"Desirable Species of Aquatic Biota" refers to a diverse and naturally
 occurring range of aquatic biota and  not to species that exist in the area
 in question in  disproportionate numbers  as a result of man's waste dis-
 charges.
      The most stringent criteria specified for each parameter shall- be
 applicable where waters are classified for multiple uses.

 CLASS A: WATER  CONTACT RECREATION AND OTHER USES (PRIMARY  CONTACT)
      A surface  raw water source intended for uses where the human body may
 come in direct contact with the raw water to the point of complete body
 submergence.  The raw water may be ingested accidentally and certain sen-
 sitive body organs such as eyes, ears, -nose,, etc., may be exposed to the
 water.  Although the water may be ingested accidentally it is not intended
 to be used as a potable supply unless acceptable treatment is applied.   Water
 may be used for swimming, water skiing,  skin diving, other similar
 activities, or as a raw water source for public water supply, support and
 propagation of aquatic fish and wildlife, agricultural, industrial and
 navigational uses.
-------
                                                                       Louisiana
CLASS B.:  FISH, WILDLIFE AND OTHER AQUATIC AND SEMI-AQUATIC LIFE. SECONDARY
OTTACT.RECREATION AND OTHER USES
     A surface raw water source, suitable for the growth and propagation of
fish, other aquatic and semi-aquatic life both marine and fresh water;
waterfowl, fur bearers; and wildlife.  This water may be used for warm
water fish habitat, wildlife habitat, and other similar uses.  This
water is also suitable for secondary water contact recreation such as
fishing, wading, boating, or activities where ingestion of the water is
not probable or as a raw water source public water supply, agricultural,
industrial and navigational uses.
     Criteria for Class A and B are equal to or more stringent than those
applicable for public water supply use as stated in the report of the
National  Technical Advisory Committee to the Secretary of the Interior on
the Water Quality Criteria.  However, when a water body is used as a.public
water supply it shall be identified as such in the standards for the
stream and/or segment where the use occurs.

NUMERICAL CRITERIA
     These numerical criteria apply to the specific waters of Louisiana
identified in the tables, their navigable tributaries, distributaries and
ancillary streams and waterbodies (unless such tributaries, distributaries
and ancillary streams or waterbodies are specifically identified and have
numerical standards listed in this book) and specifically apply with respect
to substances or conditions attributed to waste discharges or activities
of man as opposed to natural phenomena.

pH-  The pH range represents minimum and maximum conditions throughout the
     segment with reasonable gradients applying towards segment boundaries.
-------
                                                                       Louisiana

     In all cases the pH shall fall within the range of 6.0 to-9.0 unless
     otherwise specified in the tables.   No discharge of wastes shall  cause
     the pH of the water body to vary by more than one (1) pH unit within
     the specified pH range for that segment where the discharge occurs.
     (This does not apply in the Mixing Zone.)

CHLORIDES, SULFATES & DISSOLVED SOLIDS-

     Values for these parameters apply to the approximate midpoint of the
     stream segment with reasonable gradients applying towards segment
     boundaries.  Values listed in the standards in general represent the
     arithmetic mean of existing data plus one standard deviation.

DISSOLVED OXYGEN-

     The following Dissolved Oxygen values represent minimum values for the type
     of water specified.  These values shall apply at all times except in
     naturally dystrophic waters or where natural conditions cause the
     Dissolved Oxygen to be depressed.  For short periods of time,
     diurnal variations below the standard specified may occur.  However,
     no waste discharge or activity of man shall lower the Dissolved Oxygen
     concentration to the point where the diurnal variation falls below
     the specified minimum.

     FRESH WATER-

     For a diversified warm water biota including game fish, the daily D.O.
     concentration shall be above 5 mg/1 assuming normal seasonal and daily
     variations are above this concentration.  However, they may range
     between 5 and 4 mg/1 for short periods of time during a 24-hour period,
     provided the water quality is favorable in all other.respects.

     ESTUARINF WATER-

     Dissolved oxygen concentrations in estuaries and tidal tributaries shall
     not be less than 4mg/l at any time or place except in naturally
     dystrophic waters, or where natural conditions cause D.O. to be
     depressed.

     COASTAL WATER-

     Dissolved Oxygen concentration in surface coastal waters shall be
     greater than 5mg/l except when the upwellings and other natural
     phenomena may cause this value to be depressed.

TEMPERATURE-

     The temperature standards enumerated in the tables, in most cases,
     represent maximum values obtained from existing data.  However, in a
     few cases a limited number of unusually high temperatures in the range
     of 35"-36° have been deleted as it is felt that these values were
     recorded during conditions of unseasonably high temperatures and/or
     unusually low flows or water  levels, and, therefore, do not represent
     normal maximum temperatures.

                                                                              Louisiana
          In order to protect a diversified warm water biota including game
          fish, the following temperature criteria shall apply (except
          when natural conditions cause the temperature to be raised above
          these limits).
          The standard shall consist" of two parts, a temperature differential
          and a maximum temperature.  The temperature differential represents
          the maximum permissable rise above ambient conditions.   There
          shall be no addition of artificial heat once the ambient
          temperature reaches the maximum temperature specified in the
          standards.
     FRESH WATER- Temperature differential
          1}  Maximum of 5°F (2.8°C) rise above ambient for streams and
              rivers.
          2)  Maximum of 3°F (1.7°C) rise above ambient for lakes and
              reservoirs.
          MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE-  90°C (32.2°C) except where otherwise
          listed in the tables or due to natural conditions.
     ESTUARIHE AND COASTAL WATERS - Temperature differential
          1)  Maximum of 4°F (2.2°C) rise above ambient during the period
              October through May.
          2)  Maximum 1.5°F (0.83°C) during the period June through
              September.
          MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE - 9S°F (35°C) except when natural conditions
          elevate temperature above this level.
     These temperature criteria shall  not apply to privately owned
reservoirs, or reservoirs  constructed solely for industrial cooling purposes.

Bacterial Standards
     The bacterial standard applicable to a particular stream segment depends
upon the use classification of that individual  stream segment.   Limitations
-------
                                                                         Louisiana
are placed on either fecal coliform content, MP?! total coliform content,

or a combination of both in order to achieve the stream sanitary quality

required for the most restrictive stream water usage.

     The tables in this document listing applicable criteria for each

Individual Louisiana stream segment designate one of the following four

standards as applicable according to present and anticipated usage of the

segment waters:

Standard #1     PRIMARY -CONTACT RECREATION- Based on a minimum of not less
                than 5 samples taken over not more than a 30-day period,
                the fecal coliform content shall not exceed a log mean of
                200/100 ml. nor shall more than 10 percent of the total
                samples during any 30-day period exceed 400/100 ml.

Standard #2     SECONDARY CONTACT RECREATION-  Based on a minimum of not
                less than 5 samples taken over not more than a 30-day
                period, the fecal coliform content shall not exceed a log
                mean of 1,000/lOOml. nor shall more than 10 percent of the
                total samples during any 30-day period equal or exceed
                2,000/100ml.

Standard £3     PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY-  The monthly arithmetic average of
                total coliform MPN (most probable number) shall not exceed
                10,000/lOOml. nor shall the monthly arithmetic average of
                fecal coliforms exceed 2,000/100ml.

Standard #4     SHELLFISH PROPAGATION-  The monthly total coliform median
                MPN (most probable number) shall not exceed 70 per 100ml
                and not more than 10 percent of the samples ordinarily
                exceed an MPN of 230/100ml.

                                                                               Louisiana

APPLICATION OF STANDARDS
Flow Conditions:                   Except where indicated below the water
quality standards specified herein shall apply during all flow-conditions.

Chemical Parameters:               The chemical parameters (except Dissolved
Oxygen) represent maximum values for the segment specified in the tables.
These standards shall apply at all times except when natural conditions
cause them to be exceeded.
Dissolved Oxygeji:                  The Dissolved Oxygen values represent minimum
values for the type of water specified.  These values shall apply at all times
except in naturally dystrophic waters or where natural conditions cause the
Dissolved Oxygen to be depressed; for short periods of time diurnal variations
 elow the standard specified may occur.  However, no waste discharge or activity
of man shall lower the Dissolved Oxygen concentration to the point where
diurnal variation falls below the specified minimum.
Temperature:                       The temperature standards represent maximum
values and shall apply in all cases except when unusual natural conditions
of extremely low flow and unseasonably high temperatures may cause the established
temperature standard to be exceeded.  There shall be no addition of artificial
heat once the ambient temperature reaches the maximum specified in the standards.

General Criteria and Other
Parameters:	          The general criteria and other criteria not
specifically discussed above shall apply at all times except when natural
conditions may cause the standard to be exceeded.
-------
                                                                           Louisiana
Mixing Zones:                      The total area and/or volume of a stream
assigned to mixing zones will be limited to that which will: (1) not interfere
with biological communities or populations of important species to a degree
which is damaging to the ecosystem; (2) not diminish other beneficial uses
disproportionately.

Zones of Passage:                  In river streams, reservoirs, lakes, estuaries
and coastal waters, zones of passage are continuous water routes of the volume,
area and quality necessary to allow passage of free-swimming and drifting
organisms with no significant effects, produced on their populations.  These zones
must be provided wherever mixing zones are allowed.
                                   Because of varying local physical and chemical
conditions and biological phenomena no single value can be given on the percentage
of river (or stream) width necessary to allow passage of criticial free-swimming
and drifting organisms so that negligible or no effects are produced on their
populations.  As a guideline and except when otherwise specified by the'touisiana
Stream Control Commission in a valid waste discharge permit the Mixing Zone will
be limited to no more than 1/4 of the cross sectional area and/or volume of flow
of stream or estuary, leaving at least 3/4 free as a zone of passage.

EXCEPTIONS:
The water quality standards will not apply to:
     (1) Effluents
     (2) With the exception of•the general criteria the water quality criteria
         will not apply to water in mixing zones as defined above or in a valid
         waste d-ischarge permit from the Louisiana Stream Control Commission and/or
         a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit.

Antidegradation




          Waters whose existing quality exceeds the




established classification standards will be main-




tained at such high- quality unless it has been demon-




strated to the Department that the change will not




preclude uses presently possible in such waters and




is justifiable as a result of necessary social or




economic development.  Any project or development




which would constitute a new or an increased source




of pollution to high quality waters will be required




to provide the necessary degree of waste treatment to




maintain such high water quality.




             Tidal or Marine Waters




          Class SA shall be suitable for all clean




water usages, including water contact recreation and

.02 Receiving Water Quality Standards.

   A.    Introduction.

         (1)  The receiving water  quality standards consist of
two parts:  the designated  uses  of the  waters involved, and the
water quality criteria  for  the waters based upon these uses.
Water quality criteria  are  numerical and "o'e'scriptive limits for
water constituents which  are designed to protect designated uses
of a body of water (for example, "dissolved oxygen may not be
less than 4.0 mg/liter",  or "no  floating scum or debris").

         (2)  Sections  B  -  H of  this regulation define specific
water use classes for Maryland surface  (or  receiving)  waters and
designate water quality criteria for each class.  The  sections
also contain the State's  anti-degradation policy required by U.S.
Environmental Protection  Agency  regulation  40 CFR $ 130.17 (1978)
and other policies which  apply to  water quality standards.
Section I, {Classification of the Surface Waters of the State,
assigns all Maryland receiving waters to a  water use class.

   **.    Water uses and Classes.

         (1)  Beneficial  Water Uses.

              (a)  The  Department* will manage and regulate the
waters of the State* to protect  the following beneficial water
uses :

                   (i)  Water contact recreation;

                  (ii)  Fish*, other aquatic life*, and wildlife;

                 (iii)  Shellfish  harvesting;

                  (iv)  Public water supply;

                   (v)  Agricultural water  supply; and

                   (vi)   Industrial water supply.

              (*>)  The  actual uses of water are not limited to
those designated in this  regulation.  Any lawful and reasonable
un<» l<» permitted provided that the receiving water quality
standards are not adversely affected by it.

         (2)  Basic Water Use.   All waters  of the  State shall be
protected for the basic uses of  water contact recreation, fish,
other aquatic life, and wildlife.   These uses compose  Class I.
Criteria for Class I Waters shall  apply to  all waters  of the
State unless contravened by more restrictive criteria  for other
specific classes.  Criteria to protect  Class I waters  are
sufficiently stringent  to afford protection also for- public water
supply in fresh water areas (with  treatment by filtration and
-------
disinfection), agricultural water  supply,  and  Industrial  w«t««-
supply.  More restrictive criteria are  established  to  protect
shellfish harvesting waters*, natural  trout  waters*, and
recreational trout waters*.

         (3)  Specific Receiving Water  Use Classes.  The
following water use classes are established  for the waters  of the
state. The concepts of suitability and  capability for  a water use
as expressed in these classes are not base^-solely  on  existing
conditions but include water uses to be made possible  by
anticipated improvements in water quality.
              (a)  Class I:  Water Contact Recreation  and  Aquatic
Life.  waters which are suitable for:

                   (i)  Water contact  sports;

                  (ii)  Play and leisure time  activities where
the human body may come in direct contact  with the  surface  water;
and
            *>
                 (iii)  The growth and  propagation  of  fish  (other
than trout), other aquatic life, and wildlife.

              (b)  Class II:  Shellfish Harvesting  Waters.
Waters where shellfish are propagated,  stored, or gathered  for
marketing purposes, including actual or potential areas for the
harvesting of oysters, softshell clams, hardshell clams, and
brackish water clams.

              (c)  Class III:  Natural  Trout Waters.   Waters
which have the potential for or are:

                   (i)  Suitable for the growth and propagation
of trout; and
                  (ii)  Capable of supporting  nautral  trout
populations and their associated food  organisms.

              (d)  Class TV:  Recreational Trout  Waters.   Cold  or
warm waters which have the potential for or  are:

                   (i)  Capable of holding or  supporting  adult
trout for put-and-take fishing; and

                  (ii)  Managed as a special fishery by periodic
stocking and seasonal catching.

         (4)  Actual Water Use Not Limited.  The  actual use of
water is not limit'ed to the water use  classes  established  by this
regulation.  Any lawful and reasonable use is  permitted if the
receiving water qualitv standards are  not  adversely affected.

   C.    General Water Quality Criteria.   The  waters of the State
*t all. times shall be free from:
-------
                                                           Maryiana


          (1)   Substances attributable to  sewage*,  industrial
waste*, or  other  waste* that will settle  to  form  sludge deposits
fhat are  unsightly,  putrescent, or odorous to  a  degree as to
create a  nuisance,  or  that interfere directly  or  indirectly with
water uses;

          (2)   Floating debris, oil*, grease, scum,  and other
floating  materials,  attributable to sewage,  industrial waste,  or
other waste  in amounts sufficient to be unsightly  to  a degree  as
to create a  nuisance,  or that interfere directly or indirectly
with water  uses;

          (3)   Materials attributable to sewage, industrial waste,
or other  waste  which produce taste, odor, or change the  existing
color or  other  physical and chemical conditions in  the receiving
waters* to  a degree  as to create a nuisance, or that  interfere
directly  or  indirectly with water uses;  and

          (4)v  High-temperature, toxic*,  corrosive  or  other
deleterious  substances attributable to sewage, industrial wast1?,
or other  waste  in concentrations or combinations which interfere
directly  or  indirectly with water uses,  or which are  harmfal to
human, animal,  plant,  or aguatic life.

   D.     Specific Water Quality Criteria.

          (1)   Applicability.  The following  receiving water
quality criteria  are established for the classes indicated.
These criteria  shall apply during periods of flow  greater than or
ftqvial to  the 7-day,  10-year low flow.  Where the waters  of the
State are or may be  affected by discharges*  from point sources*,
these standards shall  apply outside of any mixing  zones  which  may
be designated  by the Department.  It is recognized  that  in some
cases the natural*  water quality of a stream segment  may not be
consistent  with the  criteria established for the stream.   In
these cases, it is  not intended that these natural  conditions
constitute  a violation of the water quality  standards,  or that
the water quality to be maintained and achieved be  substantially
different from  that  which would occur naturally.

          (2)   Criteria for Class I Waters:   Water  Contact
Recreation  and  Aquatic Life.

               (a)   Bacteriological.  There may not  be any sources
of pathogenic  or harmful organisms in sufficient quantities to
constitute  a public  health hazard.  A public health hazard will
be presumed  if  the  fecal coliform density exceeds  a log  mean of
200 per 100  ml, based  on a minimum of not less than five samples
taken over  any  30-day  period, or if 10 percent of  the total
number of samples taken during any 30-day period exceed  400 per
100 ml,  unless  a sanitary survey approved by the Department of
Health and  Mental Hygiene discloses no significant  health hazard.

               (b)   Dissolved Oxygen.  The dissolved oxygen

                                - 3 -

                                                              Maryland
concentration  shall he not less than  5.0  mg/litsr at anv time.

               (c)   Temperature.  For  all  disc harass  of h»at, th<*
maximum temperature outside the mixing  zone  determined in
accordance with  $  P of this regulation  or with  Regulation .13 may
not exceed 90°F  (32°C) or ambient temperature of  the receiving
waters, whichever  is greater.  In addition,  a discharge of heat
may not create thermal barriers that  adversely  affect aquatic
life.

               (d)   pH.  Normal pH values  may not  be  less than 6.5
or greater than  8.5.

               (e)   Turbidity.  Turbidity  may not  exceed levels
detrimental to aquatic life.   Turbidity in the  receiving water*
resulting from any discharge  may not  exceed  150 NTU  (Nepbelometer
Turbidity Units) at anv time  or 50 NTU  as a  monthly  average.
Note that NTtTs are equivalent measures  to FTUs  (Formazin
Turbidity Units) and JTUs (Jackson Turbidity Units).
            *
               (f)   Toxic Materials.   The  toxic  materials listed
here may not exceed these designated  limits  at  any time:

                    (i)  Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB's) -.001
micrograms/liter;

                    (ii)  Endrin -.004 micrograms/liter;

                    (iii)  Toxaphene -.005 micrograms/liter;

                    (iv)  DDT  -.001 micrograms/liter;

                    (v)  Benzidine -.1 micrograms/liter;

                    (vi)  Aldrin-Dieldrin  -.003  micrograms/liter;

          (3)   Criteria for Class IT Waters:  Shellfish
Harvest]ng.

               (a)   Bacteriological.   There may  not be any sources
of pathogenic  or harmful organisms in sufficient  quantities to
constitute a public health hazard in  the  use of waters for
shellfish harvesting.  A public health  hazard will be presumed
whenever  the most  probable number (MPN) of fecal  coliform*
organisms exceeds  a median concentration  of  14  MPN per 100 ml or
whenever  more  than 10 percent of samples  taken  exceed 43 MPN per
100 ml for a ^-tube decimal dilution  test or 49 per  100 ml for a
3-tube decimal dilution test, unless  a  sanitary survev approved
by the Department  of Health and Mental  Hygiene  discloses no
significant health hazard.

               (b)   Dissolved  oxygen same  as  Class I  waters.

               (c)   Temperature -same  as Class  I waters.

                                                           Maryland
               (g)   Toxic  Materials-same as Class I waters.

   "•:.    Anti-Degradation Policy.

         (1)   It  is  recognized that certain waters of the State
possess an existing  auality  which  is better than the water"
quality standards  established for  them.  T4htf quality of these
waters shall be maintained unless  and until it has been
demonstrated to the  satisfaction of the Department that a change
is justifiable as  a  result of necessary economic or social
development and will not  diminish  uses made of or presently
possible in these  waters. To accomplish this objective, all
proposed new or increased sources* of pollution* are required  to
provide the degree  of  waste  treatment necessary to maintain these
waters at this higher  quality.

         (2)   The  Department will  discourage downgrading any
stream from a>  water  use class with more stringent criteria to  one
with less stringent  criteria.  Downgrading may only be considered
if -.
               (a)   The designated  use is not attainable because
of natural causes;
               (b)   The designated  use is not attainable because
of irretrievable man-induced conditions; or
               (c)   Substantial and widespread adverse social and
economic impacts will  result from  maintaining the designated
use.  Before downgrading  any stream,  the Department will pr-ovi-de-
puhlic notice  and  opportunity for  a public hearing on the
proposed change.

         (3)   water  which does not meet the standards established
for  it shall be improved  to  meet the standards.

   F.    Mixing Zone Policy.

         (1)   Mixing zones are areas which are allowed for mixing
of effluent waters  with the  receiving water.  They are not
considered to  be areas where effluents are treated.  The waters
outside of the zones shall meet the standards for that particular
body of water.

         (2)   The  Department may designate mixing zones by
regulation or  in individual  permits,  or allow for mixing zones in
the  determination  of effluent limitations in individual permits,
subject to the following  requirements:

               (a)  There  shall he  no interference with biological
communities or populations of indigenous species to a deqree
which is damaging  to the  aquatic life or ecosystem;

               (b)  There  shall  be  no diminishing of other
legitimate beneficial  uses;
-------
                                                           Maryland
               (c)   Mixing zones may not form barriers  to the
migratory routes of  aquatic life;

               (d)   Mixing zones shall he des lornated  *n«1  located
to protect surface  waters and  shallow-water shoreline  «re*«u

               (e)   The  criteria of 5 C apply within  mixing zones.

         (3)   A mixing  zone is not permitted for toxic materials
identified in  $ D(2)(f)  of this regulation.

         (4)   Mixing zones which are not determined  in accordance
with Regulation .13  shall be subject to jthe following  size
restrictions.  These restrictions  are not intended to  define
individual effluent  mixing zones,  but will set maximum limi'ts
within which most biological and physical considerations will be
satisfied in designating a particular mixing zone.

               (a)   In freshwater streams and rivers, a mixing
zone width may not  exceed one-third of the width of  the  receiving
water body.

               (b)   In lakes, the combined area of all  mixing
zones may not  exceed 10  percent of the lake surface  area.

               (c)   In estuarine areas, the maximum cross-
sectional area of the mixing zone  may not exceed 10  percent of
the cross-sectional  area of the receiving water body.

   G.    Intermittent Stream Policy.

         (1)   Discharges to intermittent streams are not
P«rmitted when feasible  alternatives are available.

         (2)   Effluent limitations* for discharges to  specific
intermittent streams may be determined by the Department on a
c^se-hy-case basis.   The effluent limitations may not  he less
stringent than:

               (a)   The minimum national effluent guidelines
established pursuant to the Federal Water Pollution  Control Act,
a s ame nded;

               (b)   Those levels necessary to maintain  the water
quality standards of downstream segments; or

               (c)   Those levels necessary to protect the
biological community of  the intermittent stream.

   H.    Review and Revision.

quality standards as  appropriate and transmit changes  to the U.S
Knvironmental  Protection Agency.

          (2)   Hearing Transcripts.   Transcripts of public
hearings  on  proposed  standards revisions shall be available for
public inspection in  the main office of the Department  and.shall
be furnished to  the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency upon
request.

   T.     Classification  of  the Surface Waters of the State.

          (1)   Ml surface waters of the State shall be  protected
for use in water contact recreation, for fish, other aquactic
life, and wildlife  (Class 1).

          (2)   Tor interstate waters those classifications apply
only to those  waters  within the State.

          (3)   A  stream segment is a distinct portion of a sub-
basin.

          (4)   If the  stream segment limits are specified as
beginning at a  specific  point, streams terminating downstream  of
this point are  not  included in the  same segment.  For  example
"Deer Creek  and  all tributaries above Eden Mill Dam" does not
include Little  Deer Creek.-

          (5)   Listed  below, in tabular form by sub-basin, are
those stream segments which shall be given the additional
protection required for  the uses of shellfish harvesting (Class
II), natural trout  (Class III), and recreational trout  (Class
IV).  For each  sub-basin, information is arranged under the
following headings:

State of  Massachusetts   Marine Water Quality  Standards

PART 2  APPLICATION OF STANDARDS                                          Massachusetts

        Regulation 2.1  Establishment of Effluent Limitations.  In regulating
   charges of pollutants to waters of the Commonwealth, the Division will limit
   prohibit such discharges to insure that the water quality standards of the
receiving waters will be maintained or attained.  The determination by the
Division of the applicable level of treatment for an individual discharger will
be made in the establishment of effluent limitations in the individual discharge
permits.  In establishing such effluent limitations, the Division must consider
natural background conditions, protect existing downstream uses, and not interfere
with the maintenance and attainment of beneficial uses in downstream waters.
Toward this end, the Division may provide a reasonable margin of safety to
account for any lack of knowledge concerning the relationship between the
pollutants being discharged and their impact on the quality of the receiving
waters.

        Municipal discharges to inland waters and industrial discharges to all
waters must provide minimum of secondary treatment or its industrial waste
equivalent.  In masfal and marine waters, municipal dischargers must provide
a minimum of primary treatment plus disintection.  The above minimum treatment
requirements will be increased where necessary to satisfy other state and
federal laws and regulations or to achieve the water quality assigned in
these regulations, whichever is the most stringent.

        As used in this section, "secondary treatment" is that process or group
of processes capable of removing from untreated wastewater a minimum of 85% of
the 5 day biochemical oxygen demand and suspended solids, and virtually all
floating and settleable solids, followed by disinfection.  The "equivalent"
  eatment for industrial waste may generally be defined as that process or group
   processes achieving maximum practicable removal of solids, oils, grease, acids,
alkalis, toxic materials, bacteria, taste and odor causing materials, color and
other objectionable constituents contained in untreated waste to produce an
effluent equivalent to that obtained from secondary treatment of sewage or the
effluent from the most efficient treatment facilities in current use for any
specific category of industrial waste.  Disinfection of treated effluent may be
discontinued between October 15 and April 1 at the discretion of the Division.
At the discretion of the Division, nitrification and/or phosphorus removal
processes at municipal sewage treatment facilities may be seasonally discontinued.

        Regulation 2.2  Mixing Zones.   In applying these standards, the Division
may recognize, where appropriate,  a limited mixing zone or zone of initial
dilution on a case-by-case basis.   The location, size and shape of these zones
shall provide for the maximum protection aquatic resources.   At a minimum,
mixing zones must:

        a)  Meet the criteria for  aesthetics;
        b)  Be limited to an area  or volume that will minimize interference
            with the designated uses or established community of aquatic life
            in the segment:

        c)  Allow an appropriate zone  of passage for migrating  fish
           and other organisms; and

        d)  Not result in substances accumulating in sediments,
           aquatic life or food chains to exceed known or predicted
           safe exposure levels for the health of humans or aquatic
           life.

        Regulation 2.3  Hydrologic Conditions.  The Division will determine
the most severe hydrologic condition at which water quality standards must
be met.  In classifying the inland waters of the Commonwealth and in applying
these standards to such waters, the critical low flow condition at and above
which these standards must be met is the average minimum consecutive seven
day flow to be expected once in ten years, unless otherwise stated by the
Division in these standards.  In artificially regulated waters, the critical
low flow will be established by the Division through agreement with the
Federal, state or private interest controlling the flow.  The minimum flow
established in such agreement will become the critical low flow under this
section for those waters covered by the agreement.

        Regulation 2.4  Procedures for Sampling and Analysis.  For the
purpose of collecting, preserving and analyzing samples in connection with
these water quality standards, the fourteenth edition of Standard Methods
for the Examination of Water and Wastewater published by the American Public
Health Association, or Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes
published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency should be used.  Where
a method is not given in these publications, the latest procedures of the
American Society for Testing Materials (ASTM) shall be used, or any other
equivalent method approved by the Director.

PART 3  MINIMUM WATER QUALITY CRITERIA AND ASSOCIATED USES

        Regulation 3.1  Description of Contents.  This part sets forth the
Classes to be used by the Division in classifying the waters of the Common-
wealth according to the uses for which the waters shall be enhanced, maintained
and protected.  For each class, the most sensitive beneficial uses are identified
and minimum criteria for water quality in the water column are established.  The
minimum criteria in Reg. 3.4 have been developed by applying the criteria
contained in the EPA publication Quality Criteria for Water (EPA-440/9-76-023)
to account for local conditions including, but not limited to:

        a)  The characteristics of the biological community

        b)  Temperature, weather and flow characteristics, and

        c)  Synergistic and antagonistic effects of combinations
            of pollutants.

        Regulation 3.2  Coordination with Federal Criteria.  The Division
will use the EPA publication entitled Quality Criteria for Water, EPA-440/9-
76-023 as guidance in establishing case-by-case discharge limits for pollutants
not specifically listed in these standards but Included under the heading "Other
Constituents" in Regulation 3.4, for identifying bioassay application factors
and for interpretations of narrative criteria.  Where the minimum criteria
specifically listed by the Division in this part differ from those contained in
the federal criteria, the provisions of the specifically listed criteria In
these standards shall apply.


              Regulation 3.3  Classes and Designated Uses.   The waters  of the
      Commonwealth will be assigned to one of the classes  listed below.   Each
      class is defined by the most sensitive, and therefore governing,  uses
      which it is intended to protect.   The classes are:
-------
                   Classes for Coastal and Marine Waters
                                                                    Massachusetts
 Class SA - Waters assigned to this class are designated for the uses of
   «ote>_..j.on and propagation of fish, other aquatic life and wildlife; for
   imary and secondary contact recreation; and for shellfish harvesting
   thout depuration in approved areas.

  Class SB - Waters assigned to this class are designated for the uses of
 protection and propagation of fish, other aquatic life and wildlife; for
 primary and secondary contact recreation; and for shellfish harvesting
 with depuration (Restricted Shellfish Areas).

  Class SC— Waters assigned to this class are designated for the protection
 and propagation of fish, other aquatic life and wildlife; and for secondary
 contact recreation.

         Regulation 3.4  Minimum Criteria.  The following minimum criteria
 are adopted and shall be applicable to all waters of the Commonwealth.

PART 4  ANTIDEGRADATION PROVISIONS

        Regulation 4.1  Protection of Existing Uses.  In all cases, from
and after the date these regulations become effective, the quality of the
waters of the Commonwealth shall be maintained and protected to sustain
existing beneficial uses.

        Regulation 4.2  Protection of High Quality Waters.  From and after
the date these regulations become effective, waters designated by the Division
in Regulation 5.5 whose quality is or becomes consistantly higher than that
quality necessary to sustain the national goal uses shall be maintained at
that higher level of quality unless limited degradation is authorized by the
Division.  Limited degradation may be allowed by the Division as a variance
from this regulation as provided in Section 4.6.

        Regulation 4.3  Protection of Low Flow Waters.  Certain waters will
be designated by the Division in Regulation 5.5 of these standards for
protection under this section due to their inability to accept pollutant
discharges.   New or increased discharges of pollutants to waters so designated
are prohibited unless a variance is granted by the Division as provided in
Regulation 4.6.

        Regulation 4.4  National Resource Waters.  Waters which constitute an
outstanding national resource as determined by their outstanding recreational,
ecological and/or aesthetic values shall be preserved.  These waters shall be
designated for preservation by the Division in Regulation 5.5 of these standards.
Waters so designated may not be degraded and are not subject to a variance
procedure.  New discharges of pollutants to such waters are prohibited.   Existing
discharges shall be eliminated unless the discharger is able to demonstrate that:

        a)  Alternative means of disposal are not reasonably available or
            feasible;  and

        b)  The discharge will not affect the quality of the water as a
            national resource.
-------
    primarily phosphorus or nitrogen,  to  waters  of  the  Commonwealth will be limited
    or prohibited by the Division as necessary to prevent excessive eutrophication
    of such waters.   There shall be no new or increased discharges of nutrients
    into lakes and ponds, or tributaries  thereto.   Existing discharges containing
    nutrients which encourage eutrophication or  growth  of weeds or algae shall be
    treated.  Activities which may result in non-point  discharges of nutrients
    shall be conducted in accordance with the best  management  practices reasonably
    determined by the Division to be necessary to preclude or  minimuze such
    discharges of nutrients.

            Regulation 4.6  Variances. A variance  to authorize a discharge in
    water designated for protection under regulation 4.2 may be allowed by the
    Division where the applicant demonstrates that:

            1)  The proposed degradation  will not result in water quality
                less than specified for the class;  and

            2)  The adverse economic and  social  impacts specifically resulting
                from imposition of controls more stringent than secondary
                treatment to maintain  the higher water  quality are substantial
                and widespred in comparision to  other economic factors and are
                not warranted by a comparison of the economic,  social and other
                benefits to the public resulting from maintenance of the higher
                quality water.

            In addition to the above,  the applicant for a variance to authorize a
    discharge into waters designated for  protection under Regulation 4.3 must
    demonstrate that:

            3)  Alternative means of disposal are not reasonably available
                or feasible.

    In any proceeding where such variance is at  issue,  the Division shall circulate
    a public notice in accordance with the procedures set forth in G.L. c30A, §3.
    Said notice shall state that a variance is under consideration by the Division,
    and indicate the Director's tentative determination relative thereto.  To the
    extent feasible, the variance proceeding shall  be conducted as part of any
    pending discharge permit proceedings  pursuant to G.L. c.21, §43.  In any
    variance procedure, the burden of proof relative to justifying the variance
    shall be on the party requesting the variance.   Any variance granted pursuant
    to this regulation shall not extend beyond the  expiration  date of the permit.

PART 5  BASIN CLASSIFICATIONS AND MAPS

   Bureau of Pollution Control



   P.O. Box 10385

                                                                        Mississippi
                WATER QUALITY CRITERIA FOR INTRASTATE,
                     INTERSTATE AND COASTAL WATERS
                         STATE OF MISSISSIPPI
SECTION I.    GENERAL CONDITIONS;

     1.   The policy inherent in the standards shall be to protect water
quality existing at the time these water quality standards were adopted
and to upgrade or enhance water quality within the State of Mississippi.
Waters whose existing quality is better than the established standards
will be maintained at high quality, unless the Commission decides to
allow limited degradation where economically and socially justified.  In
no event, however, may degradation of water quality interfere with or
become injurious to existing instream water uses.  Further, in no case
will water quality be degraded below (or above) the base levels set
forth in these standards for the protection of the beneficial uses
described herein.  In receiving waters which the Commission determines to
be of exceptionally high quality, the policy shall be to maintain that
existing high quality.

     2.   The limiting values of water quality herein described shall be
measured by the Commission in waters under consideration as determined
by good sanitary engineering practice and after consultation with affected
parties.  Samples shall be taken from points so distributed over the
area and depth of the waters being studied as to permit a realistic
appraisal of such actual or potential damage to water use or aquatic
life as may exist.  Samples shall be analyzed in accordance with the latest
edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater"
or other methods acceptable to the Commission.

     3.   Certain waters of the State may not fall within desired or
prescribed limitations as outlined.  In such instances the Commission
may authorize exceptions to these limits, under the following conditions:

     a.   The existing designated use is not attainable because of natural
background conditions; or

     b.   the existing designated use is not attainable because of
irretrievable man-induced conditions; or
-------
                                                                         Mississippi
     c.   the application of effluent limitations for existing sources
more stringent than those required pursuant to Section 301(b) (2)  (A)
and (B) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972,
in order to attain the existing designated use, would result in substantial
and widespread adverse economic and social impact.

     In no case shall it be permissible to deposit or introduce materials
into waters of the State which will cause impairment of the reasonable
or legitimate use of said waters.

     4.   In view of the fact that industry is continuing to produce new
materials whose characteristics and effects are unknown at this time,
such materials shall be evaluated on their merits as information becomes
available to the Commission.  Sources of information shall include, but
not be limited to, the latest edition of Quality Criteria for Water,
prepared by the Environmental Protection Agency pursuant to Section
304(a) of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972.
The use of such information should be limited to that part applicable to
the indigenous aquatic community found in the State of Mississippi.

     5.   All criteria contained herein shall apply to all stages  of
streamflow greater than or equal to the 7-day, 10-year minimum flow in
unregulated, natural streams, and the legally guaranteed minimum flow in
regulated streams.  This requirement shall not be interpreted to permit
any unusual waste discharges during periods of lower flow.

     6.   In open ocean waters there shall be no oxygen demanding  substances
added which will depress the dissolved oxygen content below 5.0 mg/1.

     7.   The Mississippi River is classified for Fish and Wildlife use,
but with the following additions to the criteria stated herein:

     Mineral Constituents;  Not to exceed the following concen-
     trations at any time:

          From Mississippi-Tennessee border to Vicksburg

          Chlorides                60 mg/1
          Sulfates                150 mg/1
          T.D.S.                  425 mg/1

          From Vicksburg south to the Mississippi-Louisiana border

          Chlorides                75 mg/1
          Sulfates                120 mg/1
          T.D.S.                  400 mg/1
-------
                                                                                      Mississippi
                 8.   It is recognized that limited areas of mixing are unavoidable;
            however, mixing zones shall not be used for waste treatment nor considered
            as a substitute for waste treatment.  Mixing zone limits shall be defined
            by the Commission on a case-by-case basis.  In all cases mixing zones
            shall be restricted to as small an area as feasible.  Adequate zones of
            passage for the migration and free movement of fish and other aquatic
            biota shall be maintained.  Where the*re are several mixing zones close
            together, they shall all be on the same side so that the passageway is
            continuous.

                 Also, mixing zones shall not interfere with the established com-
            munity of aquatic organisms nor adversely affect recreational uses of an
            area.  Any mixing zone shall be free -from materials in concentrations
            that exceed the 96-hour LC   for biota significant to the indigenous
            aquatic community and shall comply with the general provisions of Section
            I and II of these standards.

SECTION II.   MINIMUM CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL WATERS:

     1.   Waters shall be free from substances attributable to municipal,
industrial, agricultural or other discharges that will  settle to  form
putrescent or otherwise objectionable sludge deposits.

     2.   Waters shall be free from floating debris, oil, scum, and
other floating materials attributable to municipal, industrial, agricultural
or other discharges in amounts sufficient to be unsightly or deleterious.

     3.   Waters shall be free from materials attributable to municipal,
industrial, agricultural or other discharges producing  color, odor,  or
other conditions in such degree as to create a nuisance.

     4.   Waters shall be free from substances attributable to municipal,
industrial, agricultural or other discharges in concentrations or combinations
which are toxic or harmful to humans, animal or other aquatic life.

     5.   Municipal wastes, industrial wastes, or other wastes shall
receive effective treatment or control in accordance with Sections 301,
306 and 307 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act  Amendments of
1972.  A degree of treatment greater than defined in these sections  may
be required when necessary to protect legitimate water  uses.

     6.   Dissolved Oxygen;   For diversified warm water biota, including
[game fish, the daily dissolved oxygen concentration shall be maintained
lat a minimum of not less than 4.0 mg/1 during the low 7-day, once-in-
ten-years flow.  However, at all greater flows dissolved oxygen shall be
maintained at not less than 5.0 mg/1, assuming there are normal seasonal
and daily variations above this level; except that under extreme  conditions,
with the same stipulations as to seasonal and daily variations, the
dissolved oxygen level may range between 5.0 mg/1 and 4.0 mg/1 for short
periods of time, provided that the water quality is maintained in favorable
conditions in all other respects.
-------
     7.   Toxic Substances, Color, Taste and Odor Producing Substances;
There shall be no substances added, whether alone or in combination with
other substances, that will impair the use of waters from that which it
is classified.  The concentration of toxic pollutants shall not exceed
one-tenth (I/10th) of the 96-hour median tolerance limit b'ased on available
data.  The concentration of toxic pollutants that are cumulative and/or
persistent may be further limited on a. case-by-case basis.

     Available references to be used in determining toxicity limitations
shall include, but not be limited to Quality Criteria for Water [Section
304(a)], Federal Regulations under Section 307, and Federal Regulations
under Section 1412 of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the
Safe Drinking Water Act (Pub. L. 93-523).  The use of such information
should be limited to that part applicable to the indigenous aquatic
community found in the State of Mississippi;

     8.   pH;  The normal pH of the waters shall be 6.0 to 8.5 and shall
not be caused to vary more than 1.0 unit; however, should the background
pH be outside the 6.0 to 8.5 limits, it shall not be changed more than
1.0 unit unless after the change the pH will fall within the 6.0
to 8.5 limits, and the Commission determines that there will be no
detrimental effect on stream usage as a result of the greater pH change.

     9.   Temperature;  The maximum temperature rise above natural
temperatures shall not exceed 5°F in streams, lakes and reservoirs nor
shall the maximum water temperature exceed 90°F, except that in the
Tennessee River the temperature shall not exceed 86°F.  In lakes and
reservoirs there shall be no withdrawals from or discharge of heated
waters to the hypolimnion unless it can be shown that such discharge
will be beneficial to water quality.  In all waters the normal daily and
seasonal temperature variations that were present before the addition of
artificial heat shall be maintained.  The discharge of any heated waste
irto any coastal or estuarine waters shall not raise temperatures more
than 4°F above natural during the period October through May nor more
than 1.5°F above natural for the months June through September.  There
shall be no thermal block to the migration of aquatic organisms.  Requirements
for zones of passage as referenced in Section I (8) shall apply.  In
addition to the general requirements of Section I (2), the temperature
shall be measured at a depth of 5 feet in waters 10 feet or greater in
depth; and for those waters less than 10 feet in depth, temperature
criteria will be applied at mid-depth.

     In those specific cases where natural conditions elevate the temperatures
in excess of the limits expressed herein, Section I (3) shall apply on a
case-by-case basis.

  GTION III.  SPECIFIC-WATER QUALITY CRITERIA;


     1.   PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY;

     Water in this classification is for use as a source of raw
water supply for drinking and food processing purposes.  The water
treatment process shall be approved by the Mississippi State Board of
Health.  The raw water supply shall be such that after the approved
treatment process, it will satisfy the regulations established pursuant
to Section 1412 of the Public Health Service Act as amended by the Safe
Drinking Water Act (Pub. L. 93-523).

     In considering the acceptability of a proposed site for disposal
of bacterially-related wastewater in or near waters with this classifi-
cation, the Permit Board shall consider the relative proximity of the
discharge to water supply intakes.

     a.   Bacteria;  Fecal coliform shall not exceed 2000/100 ml as a
geometric mean (either MPN or MF count) based on at least 5 samples
taken over a 30-day period nor exceed a maximum of 4000/100 ml in any
one sample.

     b.   Chlorides (Cl);  There shall be no substances added which will
 ause the chloride content to exceed 250 mg/1 in freshwater streams.

     c.   Specific Conductance;  There shall be no substances added to
increase the conductivity above 500 micromhos/cm for freshwater streams.

     d.   Dissolved Solids;  There shall be no substances added to the
waters which will cause the dissolved solids to exceed 500 mg/1 for
freshwater streams.

     e.   Threshold Odor;  There shall be no substances added which will
cause the threshold odor number to exceed 24 (at 60°C) as a daily average,

     f.   Phenolic Compounds;  There shall be no substances added which
will cause the phenolic content to be greater than 0.001 mg/1 (phenol).

     g.   Radioactive Substances;  There shall be no radioactive sub-
stances added to the waters which will cause the gross beta activity (in
the known absence of Strontium-90 and alpha emitters) to exceed 1000
picocuries per liter at any time.

     2.   SHELLFISH HARVESTING AREAS;

     Waters classified for this use are for propagation and harvesting
shellfish for sale or use as a food product.  These waters shall meet the
requirements set forth in the latest edition of the National Shellfish
Sanitation Program, Manual of Operations, Part I, Sanitation of Shellfish
Growing Areas, as published by the U. S. Public Health Service.

     In considering the acceptability of a proposed site for disposal of
bacterially-related wastewater in or near waters with this classification,
the Permit Board shall consider the relative proximity of the discharge
to shellfish harvesting beds.

     a.   Bacteria;  The median fecal colifonn MPN (Most Probable Number)
of the water shall not exceed  14 per 100 ml, and not more than ten percent
(10%) of the samples shall ordinarily exceed an MPN of 43 per 100 ml in
those portions or areas most probably exposed to fecal contamination
during most unfavorable hydrographic and pollutional conditions.

     3.   RECREATION;

     The quality of waters in  this classification are to be suitable
for recreational purposes, including such water contact activities as
swimming and water skiing.  The .waters shall also be suitable for use
for which waters of lower quality will be satisfactory.

     In considering the acceptability of a proposed site for disposal of
bacterially-related wastewater in or near waters with this classification,
the Permit Board shall consider the relative proximity of the discharge
to areas of actual water contact activity.

 increase the conductivity above  1000-.micromhos/cm for freshwater  streams.

      c.    Dissolved  Solids;  There shall be no substances  added to the
 water to cause the dissolved solids to exceed  750 mg/1  as  a  monthly
 average  value, nor exceed 1500 mg/1 at any time for freshwater streams.

      4.    FISH AND WILDLIFE;

      Waters in this  classification are intended for fishing  and for
 propagation of fish, aquatic life, and wildlife.

      a.    Bacteria;   Fecal  coliform shall  not  exceed  a  geometric  mean  of
 2000/100 ml, nor shall more than  ten percent  (10%)  of the  samples examined
 during any month exceed 4000/100  ml.

      b.    Specific Conductance;   There shall be no  substances  added  to
 increase the conductivity above  1000 micromhos/cm for freshwater  streams.

      c.    Dissolved  Solids;  There shall be no substances  added to the
 waters to cause the  dissolved  solids to exceed 750  mg/1 as a monthly
 average  value, nor exceed 1500 mg/1 at any time for freshwater streams.

      d.    Phenolic Compounds;  There shall be  no  substances  added which
 will cause the phenolic content  to exceed  0.05 mg/1 (phenol).
SECTION IV.  WATER USES IN STREAMS;

     All of the streams not specifically listed below shall be classified
as Fish and Wildlife with the exception of Ephemeral Streams which
are designated on a case-by-case basis and noted on specific discharge
permits.  Streams carrying other Classifications are:

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

                  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

     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.

                                                              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-

                        •

maintain, protect, and enhance water quality within the State   of
North  Carolina.   ^ursuant  to  this  policy,   th« Environmental
*anaqemert CoTinissi on will not approve any oro-ject or development
which would result in the significant degradation of waters  whose
*»risMnq quality  is  better  than  the  assigned  water  nuality
standards,  unless such degradation is found by  the commission  to
h*>  -iustifiahle  to  provide  necessary   economic   and   social
development.   In  such  cases,  those pollution control measures
recessarv to maintain high water Duality will he  required   where
ohysically  vnd  economically feasible.  Prior to approval of any
project or development  which  will  result  in  the  significant
degradation  of  water  quality,  the  coaraission  will  solicit,
through public notice or public hearing or  both,  comments  from
the Dublin and i nt ergovernne r.ta 1 agencies relative to the project
or development and anticipated  water  quality   degradation.    In
cases  where  tho pro-joct or development requires a NPDES permit,
th«*  Environmental  flnnagement  Commission   shall   publish    in
con-junction  with  the  nuSlic  notices  required  bv  15 VCAC  2H

.0213  REVISIONS TO DISSOLVED OXYGEN STANDARDS
  For  class  "C"  and  "SC"  waters,  the commission, on its own
initiative or  pursuant  to  a  request  unl^r  n.S.  150A-16  by
affected dischargers, nay grant revisions to the dissolved oxvgen
standard for certain stream segments, where the commission  finds
that:
  (1)  fatunl   background  conditions  in  tho  stream  segment
       preclude the  attainment  of  a  daily  average  dissolved
       oxygen concentration of 5.0 mg/1: or
  (2)  Irretrievable  and  uncontrollable  man-induced conditions
       preclude the  attainment  of  a  daily  average  dissolved
       orvg*»n concentration of 5.0 n»q/l; or
  (1)  Application  of  effluent limitations for existing sources
       in the stream segnent more stringent  than  prasent  waste
       treatment  technology  in  order  to attain and maintain a
       daily average dissolved oxygen concentration of  5.0   ng/1
       would  result  in  substantial adverse economic and social
       imoact.
Any  such  revisions shall be established in accordance with  3.S.
143-211.1  and  shall   be   indicated   in   the   schedule   of
claspifications.   The revised dissolved oxygen standard shall be
established at the  highest  level  economically  attairable  but
shall  be no lower than the level attainable with the aoplication
of present waste  treatment  technology  by  dischargers  to  the
stream   sequent.   Dischargers  to  such  waters  shall  provide

Preface
    340-41-001 The rules  which  follow,  together with the
applicable laws  of the State of Oregon and the applicable
regulations of the Environmental Quality Commission,  set
forth Oregon's plans for management of the quality of public
waters within the State oPOregon.
    Under this plan, the Department of Environmental Quality
will  continue  to manage  water  quality by  evaluating each
discharge and activity, whether existing or a new proposal, on
a case-by-case basis, based  on best information currently
available  and within  the  limiting framework of minimum
standards, treatment criteria, and policies which are set forth
in the plan.
    The EQC recognizes that the deadlines for adoption of this
plan prevented thorough involvement by local government in
the development and review of the plan. Accordingly, the
Department will  review the contents of this plan with affected
     governments and will  use their comments and suggestions
   preparing amendments  for consideration by the EQC not
     than December, 1977. At a minimum, the processes of
coordination  with local  governments will  consist  of  the
following elements:
    (1) Work with county  coordinators to set up meetings to
explain the plan to groups of local governments and solicit their
comments.
    (2) Provide copies of the plan and supporting documents to
any affected local governments who have not already received
them.
    (3) Seek input from councils of governments.
    (4) Upon request, visit local level governments to discuss
the plan.
    (3) Work with statewide associations of local governments
and others to inform local governments of the plan.

Water Quality Standards Not to be Exceeded (To be adopted
pursuant to ORS 468.735 and enforceable pursuant to ORS
468.720,468.990, and 468.992.)
    340-41-245 (1) Notwithstanding the water quality standards
contained below, the  highest and best practicable  treatment
and/or control of wastes, activities, and flows shall in every
case be  provided  so  as to maintain dissolved oxygen and
overall water quality at  the highest, possible levels and water
temperatures,  coliform   bacteria  concentrations,  dissolved
       chemical substances, toxic materials, radioactivity, turbidities.
       color, odor, and other deleterious factors at the lowest possible
       level's.
           (2) No wastes shall be discharged and no activities shall be
       conducted which  either alone  or  in combination with  other
       wastes  or activities will cause violation "of  the following
       standards in the waters of the Mid Coast Basin:
           (a) Dissolved oxygen (DO):
           (A) Fresh waters: DO concentrations shall not be less than
       90 percent of saturation at the seasonal low, or less than 95
       percent of  saturation in spawning areas during spawning,
       incubation, hatching, and fry stages of salmonid fishes.
           (B) Marine and estuarine waters (outside of zones of
       upwelled  marine  waters naturally deficient  in DO): DO
       concentrations shall not  be less  than 6  mg/1 for estuarine
       waters, or  less  than saturation  concentrations for marine
       waters.
           (b) Temperature:
           (A) Fresh  waters:  No measurable  increases  shall  be
       allowed outside of  the assigned  mixing  zone, as measured
       relative to  a control point immediately upstream from a
       discharge when stream temperatures are 64" F. or greater: or
       more than 0.5°  F. increase  due to a single-source discharge
       when receiving water temperatures are 63.5* F. or less; or more
       than 2* F. increase due to all sources combined when stream
       temperatures are 67 F. or less, except for specifically limited
       duration activities which may  be  authorized  by  DEQ under
       such conditions as  DEQ and  the Department of Fish and
       Wildlife may prescribe and which  are necessary to accommo-
       date legitimate uses  or activities where temperatures in excess
       of this standard are unavoidable and ail practical preventive
       techniques have been applied to minimize temperature  rises.
       The Director shall hold a public hearing when a request for an
       exception to the temperature standard for a planned activity or
       discharge will in all  probability adversely affect the beneficial
       uses.
           (B) Marine and  estuarine waters: No  significant increase
       above natural background temperatures shall be allowed, and
       water temperatures  shall not  be  altered  to  a degree  which
       creates or can reasonably be expected to create  an adverse
       effect on fish or other aquatic life.
           (c) Turbidity  (Jackson Turbidity Units,  JTU): No  more
       than a 10  percent  cumulative increase  in  natural stream
       turbidities shall  be allowed,  as  measured relative to a control
       point immediately upstream  of the turbidity causing activity.
       However, limited duration activities necessary to address an
       emergency or to accommodate essential dredging, construction
       or other legitimate activities  and which cause the standard to
       be  exceeded  may  be authorized provided  all  practicable
       turbidity control techniques  have been applied and one of  the
       following has been granted:
           (A) Emergency  activities: Approval coordinated by  DEQ
       with the  Department  of Fish  and Wildlife  under conditions
       they may prescribe  to accommodate response to emergencies
       or to protect public health and welfare.
           (B) Dredging. Construction or other Legitimate Activities:
       Permit or certification authorized  under terms of Section  401
       or 404 (Permits and Licenses, Federal Water Pollution Control
       Act) or OAR 141-85-100  et  seq. (Removal and Fill Permits,
       Division  of  State  Lands),   with  limitations  and conditions
       governing the activity set forth in the permit or certificate.
           (d) pH (hydrogen ion concentration):  pH values shall  not
       fall  outside the following ranges:
           (A) Marine waters: 7.0 — 8.5.
           (B) Estuarine and fresh waters: 6.5 —8.5.
           (e) Organisms of the coliform group where associated with
       fecal sources (MPN or equivalent MF using a representative
       number of samples):

    (A) Marine waters and estuarine shellfish growing waters:
A fecal coliform median concentration of 14 organisms per 100
(niUfliten,  with not more  than  10  percent of the samples
exceeding 43 organisms per 100 ml.
    (B) Estuarine waters other than shellfish growing waters:
A log mean of 200 fecal coliform per 100 milliliters based on a
minimum of 5 samples in a 30-day period with no more than 10
percent of the samples in the 30-day period exceeding 400 per
100ml.
    (f) Bacterial pollution or other conditions deleterious to
waters  used  for domestic  purposes,  livestock  watering, '
irrigation,  bathing, or  shellfish  propagation,  or  otherwise
injurious to public health shall not be allowed.
    (g)  The liberation of dissolved gases, such as carbon
dioxide, hydrogen sulfide,  or  other  gases,   in  sufficient
quantities to cause objectionable odors or to be deleterious to
fish or other aquatic life,  navigation, recreation,  or  other
reasonable uses made of such waters shall not be allowed.
    (h) The development of fungi or other growths haying a
deleterious effect on stream bottoms, fish or other aquatic life,
or which are injurious to health, recreation, or industry shall
not be allowed.
    (i)  The creation  of tastes  or odors or toxic  or other
conditions  that are deleterious to fish or other aquatic life or
affect the potability of drinking water or the palatability of fish
or shellfish shall not be allowed.
    (j) The formation of appreciable bottom or sludge deposits
or the formation of any organic or inorganic deposits deleteri-
ous to fish or other aquatic life or injurious to public health,
recreation,  or industry shall not be allowed.
    (k) Objectionable discoloration, scum, oily  sleek, or
floating solids, or coating of aquatic life with oil films shall not
   allowed.
    0) Aesthetic conditions offensive to the human  senses of
 ight, taste, smell, or touch shall not be allowed.
    (m) Radioisotope concentrations  shall  not  exceed maxi-
mum permissible concentrations (MFC's) in drinking water,
edible fishes or shellfishes, wildlife, irrigated crops, livestock
and dairy products, or pose an external radiation hazard.
    (n) The concentration of  total dissolved gas relative to
atmospheric pressure at the point of sample collection shall not
exceed one hundred  and ten percent (110%) of saturation,
except when stream flow exceeds the 10-year,  7-day average
flood. However, for Hatchery receiving waters  and  waters of
less than 2 feet  in depth, the concentration of total dissolved
gas relative to atmospheric pressure at the point of sample
collection  shall  not exceed  one  hundred and  five percent
(105%) of saturation.
    (o) Dissolved chemical substances:  Guide concentrations
listed below shall not be exceeded unless otherwise specifically
authorized  by  DEQ upon  such  conditions as  it may  deem
necessary to carry out the  general intent of this plan and  to

 EPA publication "Quality Criteria for Water". These criteria
 shall  apply unless supporting data  show conclusively that
 beneficial uses will not be adversely  affected by exceeding a
 criterion by a specific amount or that a more stringent criterion
 is warranted to protect beneficial uses.
     (3) Where the natural quality parameters of waters of the
 Mid Coast Basin are outside the numerical limits of the above
 assigned water quality  standards,  the  natural water quality

     (4) Mixing zones:
     (a) The Department may suspend  the applicability of all or
 part of the water quality standards set forth in this rule, except
 those  standards  relating  to aesthetic  conditions, within  a
 defined immediate mixing zone of specified and appropriately
 limited size adjacent to or surrounding the point of waste water
 discharge.
     (b) The sole method of establishing such mixing zone shall
 be  by the Department defining  same  in a  waste discharge
 permit.
     (c) In establishing a  mixing zone  in a  waste discharge
 permit, the Department:
     (A) May define the limits of the  mixing zone  in terms of
 distance from the point of the waste water discharge or the
 area or volume of the receiving water or any combination
 thereof;
     (B) May set other less restrictive water quality standards
 to be applicable in the mixing zone in  lieu of the suspended
 standards; and
     (C) Shall limit the mixing zone  to that which in all proba-
 bility, will:
     (i) Not  interfere with  any  biological  community  or
 population of any important  species to a degree which is
 damaging to the ecosystem: and
     (ii) Not adversely affect any other beneficial  use dispro-
 portionately.
     (5) Testing methods:  The analytical testing methods for
 determining  compliance  with  the water  quality standards
 contained in this rule shall be in accordance with the most
 recent edition of  Standard  Methods  for the  Examination of
 Water and Waste Water  published jointly by the American
 Public Health Association,  American Water Works Association,
 and Water Pollution Control Federation, unless the Department
 has published an applicable superseding method, in which case
 testing shall be in accordance with the superseding "method;
 provided, however, that testing in accordance  with art alterna-
 tive method shall comply with this rule  if the Department has
 published the method or has approved  the method in writing.

Standards for combinations of toxic

materials -  When two or more toxic

materials are or may be present at the

same time in a body of water, the

applicable water quality standard for

each material shall be determined by means

of bioassay or any "other applicable method

approved by the Board so as to account for

the chronic effect of such combinations of

toxic materials.
-------
(1)   When  the  allowable  concentration




     for combination  of  toxic materials




     is determined  by bioassay  and  the




     presence  of  toxic substances is caused




     by only one  discharge,  the applicable




     water quality  standard  in  the  boundary




     of the Initial Mixing Zone for. any




     of the toxic substances will .be 1/z




     of the concentration of that sub-




     stance multiplied by the dilution




     factor resulting from bioassay with




     the said  discharge, i.e.:




      Cc  = l/z x Cd  x  (Tim  96  hours or more)




     where:




     Cc =  applicable  water quality




     standard  in  the  body of water  for any




     of the toxic substances present in




     the discharge.




     Cd =  concentration  of the  toxic




     substance in the discharge.




     z = will  equal 10 for non-persistent




     toxicants, and will equal  100  for
-------
                                               Puerto Rico
     persistent toxicants or substances



     which tend to accumulate in the




     biological food chain.




(2)   When the presence of toxic substances



     is  caused by more than  one discharge,




     and to these 'discharges cannot be




     assigned a single Initial Mixing Zone




     nor separate Initial Mixing Zones




     without overlapping,  the allowable




     concentration for any toxic substance




     in  that body of water shall be deter-




     mined by the Board on a case-by-case




     basis*  in accordance with the  intent




     expressed in this subsection and upon




     request of the persons  responsible




     for the discharges.

emitters, the gross beta concentrations shall


not exceed 1,000, picocuries per liter.



Temperature


A.  No heat may be added to the waters of


    Puerto Rico which would cause the .monthly


    arithmetic mean of the maximum daily


    temperature at any. site, prior to the


    addition of any heat, to be exceeded by


    more than 1.5°F, or which would cause the


    temperature at any site to exceed 94°F.



B.  No discharge or combination of discharges


    into the waters of Puerto Rico shall be


    injurious to fish or shellfish or" the


    culture or propagation of a balanced


    indigenous population thereof  (nor in any


    way affect desired use).

NOTES:  SEA WATER

S.I  Sea waters are those waters subject to the rise
     and fall of the tide.

S.2  All sewage treatment plant effluents shall
     receive disinfection before discharge to sea
     waters.

S.3  The water quality-standards do not apply to
     conditions brought about by natural causes.

S.4  The waters shall be substantially free of
     pollutants that will:

     a.  Unduly affect the composition of bottom fauna,
     b.  Unduly affect the physical or chemical nature
         of the bottom,
     c.  Interfere with the propagation of fish and
         shellfish,
     d.  Undesirably alter the qualitative and quan-
         titative character of the biota,
     e_.  The latest edition of Environmental Protection
         Agency Water Quality Criteria for Water, the
         latest edition of Water Quality Criteria State
         of California, and other scientifically
         acceptable criteria will be used as guidelines
         in_ assessing impacts of chemical constituents
         in_ the issuance o_f permits and implementing
         other water quality improvement programs.

S.5  Bacteriological surveys of sea waters should
     include sampling during periods when the most
     unfavorable hydrographic and pollution conditions
     prevail.

S.6  Any water falling  below the standards of quality
     for a given Class shall be considered unsuitable
     for the uses indicated for that Class.  Waters
     falling below the standards of quality for Class
     SD shall be Class SE and considered to be in a
     nuisance condition.

NOTES:  SEA WATER (Continued)
S.7  The level of radioactive materials in all waters
     shall not be in concentrations or combinations
     which would be harmful to human, animal-or aquatic
     life, or result in concentration in organisms pro-
     ducing undesirable conditions.

S.8  In the case of thermal discharges into tidal
     rivers or estuaries/  where mixing zones are
     allowed/ the mixing zone will be limited to no
     more than 1/4 of the cross sectional area and/or
     volume of flow of stream or estuary, leaving at
     least 3/4 free as a zone of passage.  In wide
     estuaries and oceans,  the limits of mixing zones
     will be established by the Director.

S.9  As a guide/ pending further research, for Class
     SA waters a fecal coliform criteria of a median
     value of 15 per 100 ml not more than 10% of the
     samples exceeding 50 per 100 ml and for Class S3
     waters and a fecal coliform criteria of a median
     value of 50 per 100 ml and not more than 500 per
     100 ml in 10% of the samples collected, will be
     used.

S.10 Temperature increase:  None except where the
     increase will not exceed the recommended limit
     on the most sensitive receiving water use and
     in no case exceed 83°F or in any case raise the
     normal temperature more than 1.5°F, 15 June
     through September and not more than 4"F from
     October through 15 June.  All me a s u r e me n t s shall
     be made at the boundary of such mixing zones^ as
     is found t£ be_ reasonable by_ the Director.

S.ll The latest edition of the federal publication
     Water Quality Criteria will be considered in
     the interpretation and application of bioassay
     results.  Bioassays will be performed according
     to the latest edition or_ Standard Methods for the
     Examination of Water and Wastewater (APHA).

 Promulgated  pursuant  to  Section  48-1-40  of the  1976 Code,
 as  amended.
 Superseding    previous   Regulation    68,    filed   with   the

A.   DEFINITIONS


    (17)  Tidal salt waters  means  those waters  whose elevation is  sub-
ject to changes due to oceanic tides and which have chloride  ion content
in  excess  of  250  milligrams per  liter (mg/1)  (salinity  =  0.48 o/oo).

B.   PROTECTION OF EXISTING QUALITY

      (1) Existing  water uses  shall  be  maintained  and  protected.   No
lowering of  quality  which would interfere with or hurt existing uses  is
allowable.

      (2) Existing  high  quality ground waters  and  surface waters  whose
quality  exceeds  levels necessary  to  support  recreation and  propagation
of  fish,  shellfish and wildlife shall  not  be lowered in quality unless
and until  it has  been affirmatively demonstrated to  the Department  that
such change  is consistent with the Act, the Clean Water Act (P.L.92-500,
95-217) and  related  regulations  and that such change will not interfere
with or hurt any existing water uses.  Any industrial, public or private
project or development which could constitute a new  source of pollution
or  an  increased  source of pollution into such high quality waters  shall
be  required  by the Department as  part  of  the initial project design  to
insure  a  treatment level  consistent with the Act,  the Clean Water Act
(P.L. 92-500, 95-217) and related regulations.

      (3) No  degradation  shall  be allowed  in high  quality waters  which
constitute an outstanding recreational  or ecological  resource.    These
surface  waters  shall   be  classified  using  the  Class AA  or Class SAA
described in Section D. of this regulation.

C.   RULES APPLICABLE TO ALL CLASSES AND STANDARDS'

     The General Assembly  of South Carolina  in the Act has declared the
following policy:

     "It  is  declared  to  be  the  public policy of the State to maintain
     reasonable standards of purity of the water resources of the State,
     consistent with  the  public  health, safety and welfare of its  citi-
     zens, maximum employment,  the industrial development of the State,
     the propagation and  protection  of terrestrial  and marine flora and
     fauna, and the protection of physical  property and other resources.
     It  is  further declared  that  to secure  these purposes  and  the en-
     forcement of  the  provisions  of this Act, the Department of Health
     and  Environmental  Control  shall  have  authority  to  abate,  control
     and prevent pollution."

     The  classes  and   standards   described   in  Section  D.  of  this
regulation implement the  above  State policy by protecting the waters of
South  Carolina.  Also consistent with  the  above  policy,  the Department
does adopt  general rules  for  all  waters of  South Carolina  as  follows:
                             -1-
-------
                                                               South Carolina
(1)  Any  discharge   into  State  waters must  be  permitted  by  the
     Department and  receive  a degree  of  treatment-  and/or  control
     which shall produce  an  effluent which is consistent wjth  the
     Act,  the  Clean  Water Act (P.L. 92-500, 95-217),  this  regula-
     tion  and related regulations.   No permit  issued  by the  Depart-
     ment  shall be interpreted as  creating any vested right in  any
     person.    Additionally,  any  discharge  into  State waters con-
     taining  sanitary  wastes shall  be effectively  disinfected  as
     necessary to meet  the  appropriate standards in  Section D.  of
     this  regulation.

(2)  All ground waters and surface waters  of the State shall at  all
     times,  regardless of flow,  be free from:

     (a)  Substances   attributable  to  sewage,  industrial waste  or
          other waste that will  settle to  form sludge deposits  that
          are unsightly, putrescent or odorous to such degree as to
          create a   nuisance  or  that  interfere  with water  uses;

     (b)  Floating  debris,  oil,  grease,  scum  and  other  floating
          material   attributable  to  sewage,   industrial  waste  or
          other waste in amounts sufficient to be unsightly to such
          a degree as  to  create  a nuisance or  that  interfere  with
          water uses;

     (c)  Material   attributable  to  sewage,   industrial  or  other
          waste which  produce taste or odor or change the existing
          color or  physical, chemical or  biological  conditions in
          the  receiving  waters  to  such  a degree  as to create a
          nuisance or interfere with water uses; and,

     (d)  High temperature,  toxic, corrosive  or other deleterious
          substances  attributable  to  sewage, industrial waste or
          other  waste  in  concentrations  or  combinations  which
          interfere with  water uses, or which are harmful to human,
          animal, plant or aquatic life.

(3)  It may  be inappropriate for all water bodies to be classified
     within  one  of  the classes  described  in  Section D.   In  some
     waters,  treatment  requirements,  after  consideration  of  all
     alternatives,  may be  so stringent  as to  be environmentally
     or technologically impractical,  the  treatment costs may cause
     adverse  social   or  economic   effects  or  may  not  result  in
     corresponding environmental benefits.  Water quality standards
     may  also be  unattainable   because  of  established  conditions
     that cannot be  feasibly changed.

     In  situations   such  as  above,  reclassification  of individual
     waters  may  be  warranted and a  classified  use different from
     those  in Section  D.  along with different numeric standards
     for  one  or  more  constituents designated.   Where it can be
     justified  based  on  environmental,  technological,  beneficial
     impact,  or  economic restraints,  individual  waters  may be  re-
     classified  for  protection   of  an  attainable use and standards
-------
                                                              South Carolina
     designated for that use.  This could have the effect of desig-
     nation of  less sensitive uses which  require  less restrictive
     water quality standards.  However, this shall not allow lower-
     ing existing use  and  standards in areas where  they  are being
     attained as required in Section B. of this regulation.

     In  waters  which  are  individually  reclassified through  the
     above  process,  consideration  will   be  given   to  placing  a
     mandatory review  date  on  the classification action to period-
     ically  ensure   that the  classified  use  is  still  valid  and
     justifiable.

(4)  Because  of natural conditions some waters  of   the State  may
     have  characteristics  outside  the limits  established  by  the
     numeric  standards  in  Section  D.  The  standards will  not be
     considered violated when values  outside  those  standards  are
     caused  by natural  conditions.   Based  upon  these  facts  the
     Department shall  take  a  two  fold  approach  in  dealing  with
     these type waters  where necessary:

     (a)  Waters which  due  to natural  conditions have  lower  dis-
          solved oxygen  or  pH  values  shall be recognized separate-
          ly.   Waters  in Class A,  Class B,  Class  SA, and  Class SB
          to  which   naturalstandards  applyshall   be  designated
          in  the   listing   of  stream  classifications  (Regulation
          61-69) using  the  labels  (4 mg/1  D.O.)  (5-8 pH)  and/or
          (5-8.5 pH).   These designations will  be  applied  by  the
          Department based  on technical analyses.

     (b)  Separate  numeric  standards  may be established for other
          waters which  have  natural   conditions  outside  existing
          numeric  standards.  This  action  shall  be based  on scien-
          tific evidence for those specific waters.  The protection
          and propagation  of a  balanced  indigenous   population  of
          fauna and  flora  and  the  existing uses shall   be  main-
          tained.   Designation of such  waters  shall  be made by  the
          Department and shall  be  subject to  public participation
          and  administrative  procedures  for establishing  regula-
          tions.

(5)  It is  recognized  that waters  will  vary  in their ability  to
     successfully  assimilate  nutrient loadings.   Due to  the many
     factors which  have  a bearing on  the  effects of  nutrients  upon
     waters, careful consideration  must be  given relative  to  the
     control of nutrients reaching  these  waters.  Therefore,  load-
     ings  of nutrients into  waters  and specific  nutrient  standards
     for specific waters  will  be  addressed on a case-by-case basis.
     Conditions  to  be  considered  shall  include,  but  not  be limited
     to, such  factors as  the hydrology and morphometry of  the body,
     the existing  and  projected  trophic  state,  the characteristics
     of  the  loadings   and   existing   and  classified  water  uses.

  (6)   Intermittent  streams  shall be considered  waters  of the State
       and  those  streams  shall  meet the  quality standards  and  use
       restrictions  specified for waters to which they are tributary.

 (7)    (a)  All  fresh  waters of the State, other than those classi-
           fied  AA  and A-TROUT or referred to  in  (7Hc), shall  not
           exceed a maximum temperature of 90°F  (32.2 C) at any time
           nor  shall  a maximum  temperature  rise abo^e temperatures
           existing under natural conditions exceed 5 F (2.8°C) as a
           result  of  the  discharge   of  heated  liquids  unless  an
           appropriate  temperature  criteria a or  mixing  zone,  as
           provided below,  has been established.  The water tempera-
           ture  at  the inside boundary of the mixing zone shall not
           be  more  than  18°F  (10°C)  greater  than  that  of water
           unaffected  by   the   heated  discharge.  The  appropriate
           temperature criteria  or the size of the mixing zone shall
           be determined on an individual project basis and shall be
           based on biological,  chemical,  engineering and physical
           considerations.  Any  such  determination shall assure the
           protection  and  propagation  of  a  balanced,  indigenous
           population  of shellfish, fish  and wildlife  in  and on a
           body  of  water to which the  heated  discharge is made and
           shall  allow passage of aquatic organisms.

       (b)  The  temperature of  tidal  salt waters,  other than those
           waters  classified SAA  and  those  waters  inside approved
           mixing zones, shall  not exceed  a  weekly average  temper-
           ature of  4  F  (2.2°C) above  temperatures  existing under
           natural  conditions  during the fall, winter or  spring, nor
           a  weekly  average  of  1.5  F (0.8°C)  above  temperatures
           existing under natural conditions  during the  summer.  The
           size  of  the mixing zone shall  be  determined on an indi-
           vidual  project  basis  and  shall be  based  on  biological,
           chemical,  engineering and  physical  considerations.  Any
           such  determination  shall assure the  protection and  propa-
           gation of  a  balanced,  indigenous population  of shellfish,
           fish  and wildlife  in and  on a body  of water to which  a
           heated discharge is made.   Further,  the mixing zone shall
           be  kept  at a  minimum and shall  allow  the  passage of
           aquatic  organisms.
(8)  The standards  of  Section  C. (7)(a)-(c) and Section  D.  of this
     regulation  are applicable  to any waters when  the  flow rate  is
     equal  to  or greater  than  the minimum  seven day  average flow
     rate  that   occurs  with an  average  frequency of  once  in  ten
     years  (7Q10).  The  general  standards of Section C.(2)  of this
     regulation  are applicable  to  all waters  regardless  of flow.

(9)  It  is recognized  that  the  ability of the  land above the water
     table to  assimilate and  treat  wastes  will vary  depending  on
     the soil  type,  depth  to water table, waste volume and charac-
     ter,  and  expected  life  of the  facility.   Due  to  the  many
     factors   which   have  bearing on  the effects of  wastes  upon
     aquifer  quality,  careful  consideration must  be  given  relative
     to  waste  disposal on  or in the  land and  acceptable  loadings
     shall  be  determined only  after   all  factors  of a  project  are
     considered.

 }0)  Tests or analytical  determinations to determine  compliance  or
      non-compliance with standards shall be made  in accordance  with
      methods and procedures approved by the Department and  the  U.S»
      Environmental  Protection Agency (EPA).

(11)  In making  any tests or analytical determination  on waters  to
      determine  compliance  or  non-compliance  with  water  quality
      standards,   representative  samples shall  be  collected as ap-
      proved   by  the   Department  and   EPA.    Consideration   of
      representative samples will include the following:

      (a)   Samples shall  be  so distributed over  time  and flow, and
           from points over  the  area and depth  of the  waters being
           studied as to permit a realistic appraisal of  such actual
           or potential damage to  water use or  aquatic life as may
           exist.
      (b)   Bioassay  and  biological  assessment methods may  be  em-
            ployed  in appropriate  situations  to  determine  abnormal
            nutrient  enrichment,  median   tolerance  limits   (TLm),
            concentration  of toxic  substances,  acceptable  instream
            concentrations  or  acceptable  effluent  concentrations.

      (c)   Temporal  distribution of  samples  in waters under a tidal
            influence  shall  be such  as  to cover  the full  range of
            tidal conditions.

      Criteria  published  by the  EPA pursuant  to  Section 304(a) of
      the  Clean  Water Act  (P.L. 92-500, 95-217)  or other documents
      approved by the Department shall  be used as  a guide to deter-
      mine  levels, which  protect water use, of parameters other  than
      those given in  Section  C. (7)(a)-(c) and  Section D.  of  this
      regulation.

 (5)  CLASS  SAA  -  tidal  salt  waters  which  constitute  an  outstanding
 recreational or  ecological resource and/or waters  suitable for uses that
 require  the absence of  pollution.   Suitable  also for  uses  listed in
 Class SA, Class  SB,  and Class SC.

     WATS3. QUALITY STANDARDS FQ3. AMERICAS SAMOA

                         ADOPTED
                       May 21, 1S81
 i.
     These standards of water quality and the
     classification of the waters of the Terri-
     tory of American Samoa, according to their
     present and future beneficial uses, have
     been prepared as required by the federal
     Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as
     amended, and in accordance with the Terri-
     torial Environmental Quality Act, 24.0101 -
     24.0169 ASCA.
II.  POLICIES
     A.  Waters whose existing quality is better
         than the established standards will be
         maintained at their existing high quality.
         These and other waters of the Territory
         will not be lowered in quality unless it
         has been affirmatively demonstrated to the
         Environmental Quality Commission and the
         Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that .
         such change is justifiable as a result of
         necessary economic or social development,
         and will not interfere with or become in-
         jurious to any assigned u.= es made of, or
         presently possible in such waters.   Any
         public or private development, which would
         constitute a new source of pollution to high
         quality waters, is required, as a part of the
         initial project design, to provide the degree
         of waste treatment necessary to preserve this
         high quality.


     3.  Village septic tanks and cesspool construction
         and operation shall .be governed by public heal-
         th regulations, water quality standards, build-
         ing codes, and sewer system use regulations.


     C.  Tbe American- Samoa. Government may review these
         standards or develop additional water quality
         standards based upon measurements of selected
         physical, biological and chemical indicators
         for the waters of the Territory.
-------
                                             American Samoa
     i.   The Environmental Quality Commission (EQC) will
          review existing standards at least once%eyery
          three years.

     2,   The Department of Health^ Public Health Office,
          in cooperation with the Environmental Quality
          Commission, will develop and carry out an
          ongoing water quality monitoring program for
          fresh-water impoundments and streams, embayments,
          and the nearshore and off-shore open coascal
          waters of American Samoa.

     3.   The Department of Health, Public Health Office
          and the EQC will anualiy (a) analyze all available
          water quality data; (b) assess the natural
          statistical variation of selected water quality
          indicators for fresh-water impoundments and
          streams, embayments, nearshore and offshore
          coastal waters, and oceanic waters of American
          Samoa; and (c) recommend to the Environmental
          Quality Commission any necessary revisions to
          existing water quality criteria, standards, or
          policies for fresh-water impoundments and streams,
          embayments, nearshora aad. off-saore open coastal
          waters and oceanic waters of American Samoa.

                  waters (except coastal wetlands)
                  and ground waters are designated
                  for public or domestic water supply
                  and shall be protected and preserved
                  so'that they will meet the National
                  Interim Primary Drinking Water Regula-

                  the Public Health Service Drinking
                  Water Standards which are not super-
                  seded by the NIPDWR.  Consequently,
                  there shall be no discharges of treated
                  or untreated sewage, industrial wastes,
                  or other material attributable to the

B.   Smbaystents

     1.  Description:

         An embayment is a body of water subject to tidal
         action and bounded by headlands which restrict the
         exchange of water with the open ocean.  A bay or
         lagoon is an ambayment if the ratio of the volume
         of water in the bay (in cu.  ft.) to the cross-section-
         al area (sq. ft.) of the bay at the entrance is more
         than 700 determined at mean lower low water.  Consequent-
         ly, the residence time of water in etabayaents, as opposed
         to open coastal areas, allows for the accumulation of land
         drainage materials which influence water quality and marine
         ecosystems.

         Examples of embayments are Pago Pago Harbor beginning at
         a line drawn from Blunt's Point to Breaker's Point and
         Pala Lagoon inside of a line drawn from the eastern most
         point of the airport to the nearest part of Coconut Point.

     2.  Objective;

         All embayaents are to remain in as nearly their natural
         state as possible.

3.  Pago Pago Harbor;

    A large, deep and aajestically beautiful seaport,  Pago
    Pago Harbor has been designated by the American Sanoa
    Government to be developed into a. transshipment center
    for the South Pacific.  -In addition,  the fishing and"
    canning industry, which is. important  to the economic
    development of the territory,  is located in. Pago Pago
    Harbor.  The surrounding area is the  population center
    of Tutuila.
    The SQC realizes that Industrial development will stress
    the water quality in the harbor. aAt  the same time, the
    harbor is widely used as a source of  recreation and food
    by many of the island's residents.  Recognizing its unique
    position as an embayment where water  quality has been de-
    graded from the natural condition,  che EQC  has established
    a separate set of water quality standards for Pago Pago
    Harbor.

    a*  Protected Uses;

        1.  Recreation and subsistence fishing;

        2.  Boat launching ramps and designated mooring areas;

        3.  Subsistence food gathering, e.g. shellfish harvesting;

        4.  Aesthetic enjoyment;

        5.  Whole and limited body contact recreation, e.g.
            bathing, swisaing, snorkeling and SCUBA diving;

        6.  Support and propagation of marine life;


        7.  Industrial water supply^ and

        8.  Mari-cuiture development.
-------
                                              American Samoa


    b.   Prohibited Uses (Izcluda But Are Not Limited To) :.


        1.  Dumping ar discharge of solid waste;

        2.  Animal pens over or adjacent to any shore-
            line (25.1604 ASCA) ;

        3.  Dredging and filling activities, except
            when permitted to provide compliance with
            water quality standards;


        4.  Hazardous and radioactive waste discharges;
            and


        5.  Discharge of oil sludge, oil refuse, fuel
            oil, or bilge water from any vessel or shore-
            side facility  (20.1714 ASCA).

    c.   Zones of mixing will be allowed in Pago Pago
        Harbor by EQC permit only.  No zones of mixing
        will be allowed within 500 ft. of Goat Island
        Point or beneath this surface area to the bottom
        of the, harbor.  This under water area contains a
        reef that has been designated by the Office of
        Marine Resources to be preserved for recreational
        diving and reef observation.  The area is accessi-
        ble to locals and hotel residents.

4.   Special Smbayaeats;


    Fagatele Bay is unique because of its pristine water
    quality, remote location and rich under water resources.
    The Office of Marina Resources has proposed to designate
    Fagatele Bay as an under water reserve.  Therefore the
    EQC has assigned specific water quality standards to
    prohibit any reduction in water quality in the bay.

    Pala Lagoon is a shallow embayinent that is important
    as  a breeding ground to the marine life of the terri-
    tory.  It has been designated by the Coastal Zone
    Management Plan as a special area.  Therefore, the EQC
    has also classified the Pala Lagoon as a special em-
    baymeat.

     133 mater) depth contour from mean lower low
      water.  This cate-gpiry  includes stsa.ll bays
     with good water movement, which do not qualify
     as embayments.  This classification is divided
     into two divisions which are determined by
     distance from shore and water depth.


     Nearshore open coastal waters are those waters
     within 1,000 feet of the shore. If the water
     depth at. the 1,000 feet distance frost the .shore
     is less than 20 fathoms (120 feet) the nearshore
     waters extend to the. 20 fathom (120 feet) [depth
     contour from mean lower low water.


2.  Obj ectives;

    a.  All nearshore open coastal waters are to
        remain in or as nearly in their natural state
        as possible.

    b.  All offshore open coastal waters are pre-
        sently close to their natural state.  It is
        the intent- of these standards to sustain
        this high quality.

V.  ZONES OF MIXING

    The activities of man will result in the production
    of a variety of effluents that must be 'discharged
    into che waters of the territory for disposal.  Al- •
    Chough che policy of the EQC is to maximize the
    quality of all waters in American Samoa, the EQC
    realizes that for a variety of reasons it will not
    always be feasible to generate effluents whose
    quality equals or exceed-s that required of the re-
    ceiving water.  Therefore, effluents discharged into
    waters of certain water quality categories will be
    allowed an area, of initial dilution called a zone of
    mixing.  In the zone of mixing some water quality
    parameters will be assigned maximum concentrations
    that are less stringent than permitted in the waters
    surrounding the zone of mixing.  Areas where zones
    of mixing will not be allowed and the water quality
    parameters that can be chang&f in a zone of mixing are
    listed in the following criteria and procedures.  The
    criteria and procedures must be complied with to
    establish a zone of mixing.

    A. Criteria;

       A zone of mixing can only be granted by the
       Environmental Quality Commission if the application
       and the supporting information clearly shows that a.'.
       of the following conditions have been met:
                           12
-------
                                                    Amerfcan Samoa
     1.  The b<  inning or continuation of•  je function
         or operation involved in a discharge by the
         granting of the zone of mixing is  in the public
         interest; and

     2.  The proposed discharge does not substantially
         endanger huinan health or safety; and

     3.  Compliance with the existing water quality
         standards at the point of discharge would
         produce serious economic hardships without
         equal or greater benefit to the public; and

     4.  Alterations generated by a proposed discharge
         do not disrupt the marine ecology of the re-
         ceiving waters outside the zone of mixing; and

     5.  A zone of mixing shall not be granted for fresh
         surface waters, Pala Lagoon, Fagatele Bay, that
         portion of Pago Pago Harbor described in section
          IV.B.3.C. ,  or in those waters in Manu'a described
         in section  IV.C.5 .  Those water quality para-
         meters which are subject to zones of mixing are
         chlorophylla,  light penetration depth,  nutrients, pH,
         temperature,  turbidity,  and fecal coliform.  Further-
         more,  those water quality parameters which are subject
         to zones of mixing must conform to alternative within-
         zone limits determined by the EQC.  The zone of mixing
         is defined in section  V.B,-'4.g .  Determinations of
         effluent limits for toxic substances must comply with
         section  VT .A.8,9  ; and

     6.  The proposed discharges shall be substantially free fror
         visible floating materials, grease, oil, scum, foam
         and other floating matter attributable to sewage, in-
         dustrial wastes,  or other activities; and

     7.  The proposed discharge will not result in a lowering
         of water quality outside the zone of mixing so as to
         violate the standards of Section VI as they may be
         applicable.

B.  Procedures  To Apply For Zone Of Mixing;

    1.   Every application for a zone of mixing shall be
        accompanied by  a complete and detailed description
        of present conditions, how present conditions com-
        pare to standards,  and such other information as the
        Commission may  prescribe.

    2.   Application for a zone of mixing for an existing
        discharge must  be filed within six months of the
        effective date  of  these standards.  The EQC will
        certify a proposed  NPDES  permit (initial issuance
                             13

                                                    American Samoa
    or reissuanc-ej  only if conformance with- the
    standards is demonstrated or a zone of mixing approved.

3.  Each application for a zone of mixing shall be reviewed
    in light of the descriptions, statements, olans, histories,
    and other supporting information as may be submitted upon
    the request of the EQC and the effect or probable effect
    on the water quality standards established in Section VI
    of these standards.

4.  A zone of mixing, or a renewal, shall be granted within
    the requirements of this section for the following time
    periods and conditions:

    a.  If a zone of mixing is granted on the grounds that
        there is no technically and/or financially efficient
        means known, or available, for the adequate preven-
        tion, control, or abatement of the discharge involved,
        it shall be only until the necessary means of preven-
        tion, control, or abatement becomes practicable and
        it shall be subject to the taking of any—substitute or
        alternative measures that the EQC may prescribe.

        No renewal  of a zone of mixing granted under this
        section shall be allowed without a thorough review
        of known and available means of preventing, controll-
        ing or abating the discharge involved.

    b.  The Environmental Quality Commission may permit a
        zone of mixing for a period not exceeding five years.
        Any zone of mixing approval is subject to EPA con-
        currence.

    c.  Every zone  of mixing granted under this section
        shall include, but not be limited to, grantee
        requirements to perform effluent and receiving
        water sampling and testing and to report the results
        of each test to the Environmental Quality Commission.
        A program of research to develop practicable alter-
        natives to  the methods of treatment or control in use
        by the grantee may be required as a condition of the
        zone of mixing.

    d.  Any zone of mixing granted pursuant to this section
        may be renewed periodically on terms and conditions
        (for periods not exceeding five years) which would be
        appropriate for the initial granting of a zone of mix-
        ing, provided that:

       (1)   the appli^ctnt for renewal has met  all of  ~.e  conditions
            specified in the previously prescribed  zone of mixing; and

       (2)   no renewal shall be granted except on application therefore.
            Any such application shall be aia.de at least 120 days prior
            to the expiration of the current zone of mixing permit.

e.     The Environmental Quality Commission.on its  own motion, or upon
       the application of any person, shall terminate a zone of mixing
       if, after a hearing, it is determined that:

       (1)  the water area outside the zone of mixing does not meet
            the standards applicable to that water  as given in section
            VI; or

       (2)  the zone of mixing granted will unreasonable interfere with
            any actual or probable use of the water area; or

       (3)  if any NPDES permit condition is not being met and the
            discharger has failed to take action to bring the effluent
            into compliance.

            Such termination shall be made only after a hearing held by
            the Environmental Quality Commission in accordance with the
            Administrative Procedures Act of the American Samoa Code.
            Upon such termination,  the standards of water quality
            applicable thereto shall be those established for the water
            as otherwise classified.

f.     Upon expiration of the period stated in the zone of mixing, the
       zone of mixing shall automatically terminate and no rights shall
       be vested to the grantee.   If a renewal of. a zone of mixing has
       been applied for as specified in Section V.B.4.d the zone of mixing
       shall continue until the renewal is approved or denied by the EQC.

       Whenever an application is  approved,  the zone of mixing shall be
       defined as  the initial dilution volume and shall be determined
       by PLUME or some other EQC  approved model.  The initial dilution
       volume  is to be the  only  dispersion zone that will be  considered
       as a zone of mixing.   Water  quality standards will be  strictly
       enforced in the waters adjacent to the zone of mixing.   Requirements
       for discharge permits  shall  be  determined to assure compliance with
       the zone of mixing at  zero current and worst case receiving water
       conditions  and to assure protection of adjacent waters  under other
       current conditions.

       Further, the following will be considered by the E'v-'in determining
       whether to grant or deny a zone of mixing:
       (1)   Protected uses of the body of water;

       (2)   Existing natural conditions of the receiving water;

       (3)   Character of the effluent;

       (4)   Adequacy of the design of the outfall and diffuser system
            to achieve the desired dispersion and assimilation in the
            receiving water; and

       (5)   Other pertinent policies or plans of  Territorial agencies.

h.     No part of a shoreline, reef or bottom substrate shall be included
       in any zone of mixing.

i.     No zone of mixing granted pursuant to this section shall be
       construed to prevent or limit the application of any emergency
       provisions or procedures provided by law.

VI.    STANDARDS OR WATER QUALITY

       A.   The following standards apply to all  fresh surface water,
            embayments,  open coastal water and oceanic waters of the
            Territory,..(2,4,7,8,9,10,11,12 and 13 shall apply as a
            minimum within the zone of mixing.)

            1.  They shall be substantially!free  from materials
                attributable to sewage, industrial wastes, or other
                activities of man that will produce color, odor, or
                taste, either of itself or in combinations, or in the
                biota.

            2.  They shall be substantially free  from visible floating
                materials, grease, oil, scum, foam, and other floating
                matter attributable to sewage, industrial wastes, or
                other activities of man.
                                   16
-------
3.  They shall be substantially free from materials  Amer1can Samoa
    attributable to sewage, industrial wastes, or
    other activities of man that will produce visi-
    ble turbidity or settle to form deposits.

4.  They shall be free from substances and con-
    ditions or combinations thereof attributable
    to sewage, industrial wastes, or other activi-
    ties of man which may be toxic to humans, other
    animals, plants, and aquatic life.

5.  The number of fecal coliform bacterial shall
    not exceed a geometric mean of 100 per 100
    milliliters nor exceed 200/100 milliliters
    in more than 10% of samples.  In areas where
    shellfish are collected, coliform concentra-
    tions shall comply with U.S. Public Health
    Service Shellfish Standards, in its latest re-
    vision.

6.  The temperature shall not deviate more than
    1.5°F from conditions which would occur na-
    turally and shall not hourly fluctuate more than
    1.0 degree Farenheit nor exceed 85 degrees Fahren-
    heit due to the influence of other than natural
    causes.

7.  Radioactivity:

    a.  Since human exposure to any ionizing
        radiation is undesirable, the concen-
        tration of radioactivity in natural
        waters will be maintained at the lowest
        practicable level.

    b.  No radioactive materials shall be pre-
        sent in natural waters as a consequence
        of the failure of an installation to exercise
        appropriate controls to eliminate releases.

    c.  The concentration of radioactivity shall not:

        1.   Result in accumulations of radioactivity
            in edible plants and animals that present
            a hazard to consumers or are harmful to
            aquatic life, as recommended by the Federal
            Radiation Council in the Radiation Protect-
            ion Guides;

                                             American Samoa

   2.  Exceed 1/30 of the MFC values given for
       continuous occupational exposures in the
       National Bureau of Standards Handbook
       No.  68, as revised; or

   3.  Exceed the current National Interim Primary
       Drinking Water regulations for waters used
       for  public or domestic supplies.

8.   Substances of Unknown Toxicity;

    a.  All effluents containing materials attributable
        to  the activities of man shall be considered
        harmful and not permissible until acceptable bio-
        assay tests have shown otherwise. It is the obli-
        gation of the persons producing the effluent to
        demonstrate that it is harmless, at the request
        of  the Environmental Quality Commission.

    b.  Compliance with Section VI, A-4 of these standards
        will be determined by use of indicator organisms,
        analysis of species diversity, population density,
        growth anomalies, bioassays of appropriate duration
        or  other appropriate methods as specified by the
        Environmental Quality Commission.

    c.  The survival of aquatic life in any waters shall
        not be less than that for the, same water body in
        areas unaffected by sewage, industrial wastes or
        other activities of man, or, when necessary, for
        other control water that is consistent with the
        requirements for "Experimental Water" as described
        in  Standard Methods for the Examination of Water'and
        Wastewater (latest available edition).  As a minimum,
        compliance with the objective as stated in the pre-
        vious sentence shall be evaluated with a 96 hour
        bioassay.

    d.  In  addition, effluent limits based upon acute
        bioassays of effluents will be prescribed where
        appropriate, additional numerical receiving water
        limits including the water quality criteria used
        to  support toxic effluent standards identified under
        Section 307 (a)  of the Federal Water Pollution Con-
        trol Act of 1972, as amended, will apply; further,
        numerical receiving water limits for specific toxi-
        cants will be established as sufficient data becomes
        available; and source control of toxic substances
             be encouraged.

 9.  ::u.:;ir.un a^-owable pesticides concentrations
     shall conform to national guidelines as alu.Lud
     in the Quality Criteria for Water.

10.  Currents are important for transporting
     nutrients, larvae, and sedimentary materials,
     for flushing and purifying wastes, and for
     maintaining patterns of scour and fill.  To
     protect these functions, there shall be no changes
     in basin geometry or fresh water inflow that will
     alter current patterns in such a way as to adver-
     sely affect existing biological populations or
     sediment distribution, except where significant
     public benefits shall accrue^ from the proposed
     action and all other permits, territorial and
     federal, have been approved.

11.  Soil particles resulting from erosion on land
     involved in earthwork, such as the construction
     of public works; highways, subdivisions; rec-
      reational, commercial, or industrial developments;
     or the cultivation and management of agricultural
     lands shall not enter any water of the territory.
     This standard  shall be deemed met upon a showing
     that the land on which the erosion occurred or is
     occurring is being managed in accordance with soil
     conservation practices acceptable to the Director
     of Agriculture, the EQC and the Director of Health,
     and that a comprehensive conservation program is

     received the best degree of treatment or control,
    . and that the severity of impact of the residual
     soil reaching the receiving body of water is deemed
     to be acceptable.

12.  To protect estuarine organisms, no change in chan-
     nels.', basin geometry, or fresh water influx shall
     be made which would cause permanent changes in
     isohaline patterns of more than 10% of existing,
     except where significant benefits accrue from the
     project and other permits, Territorial and Federal,
     have been approved.

13.  Total residual chlorine shall not exceed 20 ug/1.

-------
                                                    Territory of Guam
                     STATEMENT OF POLICY
•It shall be the public policy of Guam to:

     1.   conserve, protect, maintain, and improve the quality
          of the waters for drinking water supply and food
          .processing, for the growth and propagation of aquatic
          life, for marine research and for the conservation of
          coral reefs and wilderness areas, and for domestic,
          agricultural, commercial, industrial, recreational
          and other legitimate uses;

     2.   provide that no pollutant discharge into any water
          be allowed, unless (a) the discharge first receives
          processing which will assure the pollutant removal
          or provide the control technology necessary to protect
          the designated beneficial uses of the waters, and (b)
          the discharge meets the effluent limitations esta-
          blished for that discharge; and

     3.   provide for the prevention, abatement and control of
          new and existing water pollution.

Further, under the terms of U.S. Public Law 95-217:

     1.   it is the national goal that the discharge of pollu-
          tants into navigable waters be eliminated by 1985;

     2.   it is the national goal that wherever attainable,
          an interm goal of water quality, which provides  .
          for the protection and propagation of fish, shell-
          fish and wildlife, and provides  for recreation in
          and on the water, be achieved by July 1, 1983; and

     3.   it is the national 'policy that the discharge of
          toxic pollutants in toxic amounts be prohibited.

To assist in obtaining this goal all discharges will be
controlled  (permitted) either through the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) or through the Guam
Environmental Protection Agency's local permit program.

Therefore,  pursuant to the authority contained in the Water
Pollution Control Act (Sections 57043(d) and 57047 of Chapter
III, Title  LXI of th« Government Code of Guam), which autho-
rized  tlie formulation of standards of water purity and classi-
fication of water according to the most beneficial uses of
*acn waters, the Guam Environmental Protection Agency hereby
adopts the  .following standards of water quality for Guam.

                                                    Territory of Guam
Waters whose existing quality was better than the established
standards as of April 1968, will be maintained at the same
high quality existing at that time.

Waters whose existing quality is less than the established
standards for their use due to the presence of substances, con-
ditions, or combinations thereof attributable to domestic, com-
mercial and industrial discharges or agricultural, construc-
tion and other land-use practices, shall be improved to comply
with the established standards.  However, in such cases where
the natural conditions are of lower quality than criteria
assigned, the natural conditions shall constitute the water
quality criteria.  Water quality criteria in boundary areas
shall be established so that the most stringent standard applies.

Waters will not be lowered in quality unless and until it has
been affirmatively demonstrated to the Administrator of the Guam
Environmental Protection Agency that such a change is justifi-
able as a result of necessary social, environmental, or eco-
nomic development, and that such development will not interfere
with or become injurious to any uses made of, or potentially
possible in, such waters.  Any industrial, public or private
project or development will require, as part of the initial
project design, provision for the pollutant removal or control
technology necessary to protect the designated use of receiving
waters or maintain the existing high quality of the receiving
waters.

The purpose of these Water Quality Standards is to prevent
degradation of water resources resulting from pollution sources.
It is not the intent of these standards to restrict activities
which may cause pollution but rather to regulate such activities
or practices that may cause a water resource to be degraded.

                          SECTION I

                    CATEGORIES OF WATERS
The following categories of waters relate to the different
liquid components of the hydrologic cycle.  All categories of
water, Marine, Surface and Groundwater are referenced on the
Water Classification Map.  Scaled down copies of these maps
are included in these standards enabling readers to understand
their relative position, application and use.

A.   MARINE WATER

     This major type of water includes all coastal waters off-
     shore from the mean high tide level, estuarine waters,
     lagoons and bays, as well as brackish and other inland
     waters that are subject to the ebb and flow of the tides.
     Refer to Water Classification Map.

     Category M-l   EXCELLENT

          The uses to be protected in this category of waters
are conservation of wilderness areas including protection of
aquatic life, marine scientific research, aesthetic enjoyment
and recreation activities which are compatible with the
intended use.  This category of water shall remain free from
pollution attributable to domestic, commercial and industrial
discharges, shipping and intensive boating, or agricultural,
construction and other practices which may impair their intended
use.  Furthermore, there shall be no zones of mixing within this
category water.

     Category M-2   GOOD

          The uses attributed to this category of waters are
intended to protect the propagation and survival of a balanced
and indigenous population of marine organisms particularly
shellfish and coral reefs.  Other important and intended uses
include mariculture activities, aesthetic enjoyment and compat-
ible recreation inclusive of whole body contact and related
activities.

     Category 11-3   FAIR

          General use, commercial and industrial uses are
intended for this category of marine water.  Specific intended
uses include the following:  -shipping and navigation, marinas,
protection of aquatic life, industrial cooling, water supply,
aesthetic enjoyment and compatible recreation of a limited body
contact nature.

                                                    Territory of Guam
B.   GROUNDWATER

     This major type of water encompasses all subsurface waters
     and includes basal and parabasal water,  perched water,  all
     water below the groundwater table,  water percolating through
     the unsaturated zone (Vadose Water), all saline waters below
     and along the perimeter of the basal fresh-water body
     (freshwater lens), and water on the surface that has been
     collected with the specific intent  of rechanging or dispos-
     ing of that water to the subsurface by means of injection,
     infiltration, percolation or other  mean's.  Refer to Water
     Classification Map.

     Category G-l  RESOURCE ZONE

          The primary use of groundwater within this zone is
for drinking (human consumption) and this use must be protected.
Virtually all water of the saturated zone of Guam is included.
Specifically it includes all water occurring in the saturated
zone below the groundwater table, all vadose water occurring in
an unsaturated zone interval extending 100 feet (30.5 m) above
any water table, all water of the basal  and parabasal
freshwater bodies (the freshwater lens), and all water of and
below the freshwater/salt-water transition zone beneath the
basal water body.

Because any water discharges within this zone will (by defini-
tion) be tributary to groundwater bodies which are actual or
potential sources of fresh, potable water supply, no pollutant
discharges to the groundwater within this zone will be allowed.

     Category G-2  RECHARGE ZONE

          Water within this zone is tributary to, replenishes
and recharges the Category G-l groundwater and must be of drink-
ing water quality before it enters the Resource Zone.  All water
discharges within the Recharge Zone must receive treatment to
the degree necessary to protect the underlying Category G-l
$*oundwater from any contamination.

Category G-2 includes all waters which are collected and re-
charged or disposed of within a zone which is bounded above
by 
-------
                                                      Territory of Guam
due to the need to protect G-l waters and considering the dif-
ficulty in tracing pollutants reaching the G-l zone to a partic-
ular source, discharge limitations have been established to reg-
ulate discharges to•the G-2 zone.  All discharges must meet the
discharge limitations established in Table III of Section III.

All discharges within this zone which are not required to have
construction and/or discharge operating permits under existing
regulations may be required by the Agency to obtain such permits
under these regulations.  It is not the intent of these standards
to require a. discharge to have more than one permit.

     Category G-3  BUFFER ZONE

          Category G-3 includes all waters which are collected
and disposed of or recharged at or near the existing ground
surface.  Vertically, the zone for this category extends from
the surface to 20 ft (6 m) below the surface.  Disposal methods
which may result in discharges to groundwater within this zone
include, but are not limited to, ponding basins, rapid infil-
tration, slow rate land treatment (surface or spray distribution)
and all subsurface discharges (seepage, leaching).

For reasons similar to those discussed for Category G-2, dis-
charge limitations for G-3 are also established in Table III
Section III.  Discharges of less than 10,000 gallons per day
Cgpd) within the G-3 zone .are designated by G-3a.  Water quality
criteria for all discharges within zone G-3 which are greater
than 10,000 gpd are designated G-3b.  This differentiation in
criteria addresses the fact that minor discharges typified by
smajl scattered individual dwelling units probably have less
adverse impact on underlying groundwater than major point source
discharges and thus are allowed less restrictive water quality
limits (i.e. equivalent to primary treatment).

All discharges within this zone which are not required to have
construction and/or discharge permits under existing regulations
»ay be required by the Agency to obtain such permits under these
regulations (refer to the Underground Injection Control Regula-
tions).

C.   SURFACE WATERS

     This major type of water encompasses the majority of
     surface fresh-water and includes, (1) waters that flow
     continuously over land surfaces in a defined channel or
     bed, sach as streams .and rivers, (2) standing water in
     basins such as lakes, marshes, swamps, ponds and
     reservoirs, either natural or man-made and (3) all waters
     flowing over tae land either as unconfined sheet runoff,
     or as runoff confined to channels with intermittent flow.
     Refer to Water Classification Map.  Waters not included
     under the Surface Water Category are those waters which
-------
                                                     Territory of Guam
     are collected with the specific intent of disposal by
     recharging them into the ground-(i.e., ponding basins).

     Category S-l  HIGH

          Surface waters within this zone are used for drink-
ing water resources, conservation of wilderness areas, and
propagation and preservation of aquatic life and aesthetic
enjoyment.  It is the objective-that these waters-shall be
kept free of substances or conditions attributable to domestic,
commercial and industrial discharges, or agricultural, con-
struction or other land-use practices that impair their uses.
No pollutant discharges will be permitted into S-l waters via
discharge or as a result of land uses adjacent to S-l waters.
Mixing zones will not be allowed within the boundaries of
Category S-l.

     Category S-2  MEDIUM

          Surface waters within this zone are used for recrea-
tional purposes including water contact recreation, for use as
potable water supply after adequate treatment is provided, and
for propagation and preservation of aquatic wildlife and
aesthetic enjoyment.

     Category S-3  LOW

          Surface waters within this zone are primarily used
for commercial, agricultural and industrial water supply.
Aesthetic enjoyment and compatible recreation are acceptable
in this zone, as well as maintenance of aquatic life.  Com-
patible recreation may include limited body contact activities.
All discharges within this zone which are not required to have
construction and/or discharge permits under existing  regula-
tions may be required by the Agency to obtain such permits
under these regulations.

                          SECTION II

                   WATER QUALITY CRITERIA


A.   GENERAL CRITERIA APPLICABLE TO ALL TERRITORIAL WATERS

     All waters shall meet generally  accepted aesthetic quali-
     fications, shall be capable of supporting desirable aquatic
     life,  and shall be free from substances, conditions or com-
     binations thereof attributable to domestic,  commercial and
     industrial, discharges or agricultural,  construction and
     land-use practices or other human activities that:

     1.   cause visible floating materials,  debris, oils,
          grease,  scum, foam or other floating matter;

     2.   produce  visible turbidity,  settle  to form deposits
          or otherwise adversely affect desirable aquatic life;

     3.   produce  objectionable color, odor, or taste,  directly
          or by chemical or biological action;

     4.   are toxic or harmful to humans, animals, plants or
          desirable aquatic life; and

     5.   induce the growth of undersirable  aquatic life.

     Analytical testing methods for these criteria shall be in
     accordance with the most recent editions of Standard Methods
     for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (APHA, AWVfA,
     WPCF), Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes
     (U. S. Environmental Protection Agency), and other methods
     accptable to  GEPA and possessing adequate procedural
     precision and accuracy.

     Effects of high temperature, biocides,  pathogenic organisms,
     toxic, corrosive, or other deleterious  substances at levels
     or combinations sufficient to be toxic  or harmful to human,
     animal, plant or aquatic life or in amounts sufficient to
     interfere with any beneficial use of the water, shall be
     evaluated as  a minimum, by use of a 96-hour bioassay as
     described in  the most recent addition of Standard Methods
     for the Examination of Water and ffastewater.  Survival of
     test organisms shall not be less than that of controls
     which utilize appropriate water.  Failure to determine
     presence of toxic substances by this method shall not pre-
     clude determination of excessive levels of toxic sub-
     stances on the basis of other criteria or methods.

B.   SPECIFIC NUMERICAL WATER QUALITY CRITERIA

     1.   Microbiological Requirements

          Concentrations of total coliform
             bacteria at any point shall not
             be increased from natural con-
             ditions at any time.
                               ?»
          The total coliform bacteria count
             shall not exceed an arithmetic
             mean of 70 per 100 ml during any
             30-day period nor shall any
             sample exceed 400 per 100 ml at
             any time.

          The total coliform bacteria count
             shall not exceed an arithmetic
             mean of 200 per 100 ml during
             any 30-day period nor shall any
             sample exceed 400 per 100 ml at
             any time.

          To determine compliance with the
             above microbiological require-
             ments where a "30-day period" is
             specified, a minimum of four
             samples shall be collected at
             approximately equal intervals

          NOTE:  Where shellfish are collected
             for human consumption, the micro-
             biological standard for M-l waters
             shall apply.

     Phosphorus:

        Orthophosphate (P04-P) shall not       M-l
           exceed 0.025 mg/1

        Orthophosphate (P04-P) shall not       M-2        S-l
           exceed 0.05 mg/1

        Orthophosphate (P04-P) shall not       M-3        S-2
           exceed 0.10 mg/1                               S-3

     Nitrogen:

        Nitrate-nitrogen (N03-N) shall not     M-l
           exceed 0.20 mg/1

        Nitrate-nitrogen (N03-N) shall not     M-2        S-l
           exceed 0.20 mg/1

        Nitrate-nitrogen (N03-N) shall not     M-3        S-2
           exceed 0.50 mg/1                               S-3

     Guam has a unique situation, in that its groundwater is
     high in nitrate-nitrogen (up to 10 mg/1).  Wastewater
     discharges which contain groundwater, such as sewage
     treatment plant effluent or irrigation return flow,
     will violate the above criteria unless extraordinary
     treatment measures are used.

     It is not the intent of these standards to require
     treatment in excess of advanced secondary for any dis-
     charge.  Point source discharges will be regulated
     by permit specifying effluent standards and opera-
     tional requirements.  Activities which may result in
     non-point discharges of nutrients shall be conducted
     in accordance with the best management practices
     reasonably determined by the Agency to be necessary
     to preclude or minimize such discharges of nutrients.

     In all cases, discharges containing nutrients, pri-
     marily nitrogen and/or phosphorus shall be treated
     to the extent necessary to prevent the growth of
     aquatic species which create a public nuisance or
     interfere with beneficial uses as defined in Section I.

*•   Dissolved Oxygen

     Concentrations of dissolved oxygen shall not
     be decreased below 75 per cent saturation at      All Wate
     any time, as influenced by salinity or natu-        of the
     ra.lly occurring temperature variations.  Where    Territor
     natural conditions cause lower dissolved oxygen
     levels, controllable water quality factors shall
     not cause further reductions.

      NOTE:

      The setting or publishing of maximum concentrations
      (limits) for specific pesticides and other- toxics
      should in no way be construed as official  approval
      or authorization for their use where such  use is
      contrary to U. S. Environmental Protection Agency

12.  ' Toxic Substances

      In order to provide maximum protection for the
      propagation of fish and wildlife, concentrations
      of toxic.substances (persistent or non-persistent,
      cumulative or non-cumulative); (a) shall not exceed
      0.05 of the 96-hour LC50 at any time or place, nor
      should the 24-hour average concentration exceed
      0.01 of the 96-hour LCso or, (b) shall not exceed
      levels calculated by multiplying the appropriate
      application factor by the 96-hour LCgQ values
      determined by using the most sensitive.species of
      aquatic organism affected.  Whichever value (a or
      b) is less shall be the maximum allowable  concentra-
      tion, unless this, value exceeds the Maximum Numerical
      Limit, then the numerical limit shall constitute
      the maximum allowable concentration.

      Criteria for the 65 toxic pollutants listed by EPA
      tinder authority of Section 307 (a) (1) will be as

                        SECTION III

                   EFFLUENT LIMITATIONS

A. •  GENERAL CRITERIA

     The Agency reserves the right to amend or extend the follow-
     ing criteria as improved standard methods are developed or
     revisions consistent with the enhancement of water quality
     are justified:

     1.   All'sewage shall be treated to the degree required
          by the Agency to achieve standards of water quality
          prior to being discharged to the waters of the
          Territory.  Industrial waters and other wastes shall
          also be treated to the degree required by the Agency.

     2.   Dilution of the effluent from any wastewater source is
          not acceptable as a method of treatment of wastes in
          order to meet the standards set forth in this Section.
          Rather, it shall be the obligation of any person dis-
          charging pollutants of any kind to the waters of the
          Territory to provide the best pollutant removal or
          control consistent with technological feasibility,
          economic reasonableness, and sound engineering judg-•
          ment.  In making a determination as to what degree of
          treatment is the best pollutant removal or control
          within the meaning of this paragraph, any person shall
          consider the following:

          a)   the degree of waste reduction that can be
               achieved by process change, improved house-
               keeping and recovery of individual waste
               components for reuse; and

          b)   whether individual process wastewater streams
               should be segregated or combined.

     3.   Measurement of pollutant concentrations to determine
          compliance with the effluent limitations shall be
          made by the discharger at the point immediately
          following the final treatment process and before
          mixing with other waters.  Points of measurement
          shall be designated by the Agency in an individual
          permit, after consideration of the elements contained
          in this section.  If necessary, the concentrations
          so measured shall be recomputed to exclude the effect
          of any dilution that is improper under this standard.

     4.-   Every person discharging effluent to the waters of
          the Territory shall submit operating reports to the
          Agency at a frequency to be determined by the Agency.
          Such reports shall contain information regarding the
                            - 14 -
-------
                                                 Territory of Guam
          volume of effluent discharged,  and the concentrations
          of those physical, chemical and bacteriological
          parameters which shall be specified by the Agency;
          and any additional information  the Agency may "
          reasonably require.

     5.   In addition to other requirements no effluent shall,
          alone, or in combination with other sources,  cause
          a violation of any applicable Water Quality Standard.
          If the Agency finds that a discharge which, complies
          with treatment requirements under the Authority of
          Section III-A would cause or is causing a violation
          of Water Quality Standards, the Administrator shall
          take appropriate action under Section 57048 of  the
          Water Pollution Control Act to  require the discharge
          to meet whatever effluent limits are necessary  to
          ensure compliance with the Water Quality Standards.
          When such a violation is caused by the cumulative
          effect of more than one source, several sources may
          be joined in a schedule of compliance.  Measures
          necessary for effluent reductions will be determined
          on -the basis of technical feasibility, economic
          reasonableness, and fairness to all dischargers.

B.   MIXING ZONES IN RECEIVING WATERS

     Whenever a Water Quality Standard is more restrictive than
     the corresponding effluent standard  then an opportunity
     may be allowed by the Agency for the mixture of an effluent
     with its receiving water provided that the zone in which
     mixing occurs will not adversely affect the designated
     uses of the receiving waters.  If mixing zones are used,
     Water Quality Standards for a receiving water must be met
     at every point outside of the boundaries of the designated
     mixing zone.  The following criteria apply to all mixing
     zones:

     1.   Whenever mixing zones are allowed, zones of
          passage, i.e., continuous water routes of the
          volume, area, and quality necessary to allow
          passage of free-swimming and drifting organisms
          with no significant effects produced on their
          populations, shall be provided.

     2.   Where two or more mixing zones  are in close
          proximity, they shall be so defined that a
          continuous zone of passage for aquatic life
          is available.

     3.   Biologically important areas, including spawning
          and nursery areas, shall be protected.

     4.   No criteria shall be set aside in the mixing zone
          which shall cause conditions in the mixing zone to
          be lethal to aquatic life and wildlife which may
          enter the zone or injurious to human health in the
          event of a temporary exposure.

     5.   The area or volume of an individual mixing zone
          shall be limited to an area or volume that will
          minimize impacts on uses.

     6.   The discharge shall not violate the basic standards
          applicable to all waters (Section II A and Section
          III E) nor shall it unreasonably interfere with
          any actual or probable use of the water within the
          mixing zone.

     7.   Appropriate water quality criteria will be established
          for a zone of mixing to ensure that receiving water
          standards are met outside the zone.

C.   BOUNDARIES OF NON-THERMAL MIXING ZONES

     Non-thermal discharges shall be permitted by the National
     Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit
     process or through the Guam Environmental Protection
     Agency's local permit program only after careful analysis
     Of the nature of the effluent and a thorough study to
     assess the consequences of the effluent upon the environ-
     ment.  Mixing zones for non-thermal discharges shall be
     based on the following models, taking into consideration
     the criteria in Section III B above.

     1.   Mixing zones for Non-Thermal Discharges into Surface
          Waters .

          For non-thermal discharges into streams and rivers
          the mixing zone will be limited to no more than 1/4
          of the cross sectional area and/or volume of flow of
          tb* *tr**a, leaving at least 3/4 free as a Zone of
          Passage.  The mixing zone shall not extend more than
          5 stream widths downstream from the point of dis-
          charge.  44ixiag zones will not be allowed in stand-
              bodies of water.
     2.   Xlxific «on«s for Hon-Thermal Discharges into Coastal
          Vafcers .
              aon -the raal discharges to coastal waters the mix-
          tax «on* shall be equal in depth to the depth of the
          «*tar WWKT the dllluser, in width to twice the depth
          of tlte water plus the width of the diffuser, and in
          l*agth to twice tbe depth of the water plus the
          length of the diffuser, with the diffuser geographi-
          cally centered within the mixing zone.

          All 'discharges to marine waters  will  comply  with
          the Ocean Discharge Criteria promulgated under
          Section 403 (c) of the federal Clean  Water Act.

D.   MIXING ZONES FOR THERMAL DISCHARGES

     Thermal discharges pertain to effluent  water with a  temp-
     erature component either above or below ambient conditions
     of the receiving body of water.  All  thermal discharges,-
     existing or proposed, into receiving  bodies of water shall
     be subject to criteria established in Section 316 (a) of
     the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA),  Public
     Law 95-217.  Thermal discharges shall be permitted by the
     National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
     permit process or through the Guam Environmental  Protection
     Agency's local permit program only after careful  analysis
     of the nature of the effluent and a thorough study to
     assess the consequences of the effluent upon the  environ-
     ment.

     1.   All Above-Ambient Discharges:

          a)   Shall conform to a zone of  mixing defined  for
               that particular discharge on  a case-by-case
               basis.  This zone of mixing shall be defined
               by the following references or other references
               depicting appropriate thermal mixing zone
               models.

                  -  Water Quality Criteria, March 1973.   EPA.
                  -  Quality Criteria for  Water, July  1976.  EPA.
                  -  Biological Methods for  the Assessment of
                     Water Quality.  American Society  of  Test-
                     ing and Materials, July 1976.

               And take into consideration the  following  criteria:

                  -  Time of exposure
                  -  Concentration of effluent
                  -  Depth of discharge
                  -  Type of environment
                  -  Volume of discharge
                  -  Mass emission rate of critical materials
                  -  Aesthetics and the assessment of  damage
                     to biota on the population basis

               Although final authority in defining a zone of
               aixing rests with the GEPA, it is intended that
               cooperation between the discharger aod the Agency
               will result in the most appropriate zone.

          b)   Shall not increase the temperature of the receiv-
               ing body of water to cause  substantial damage or
                            - 17 -

     harm to the flora and fauna or interfere with
     the beneficial uses assigned therein.

c)   Shall comply with all other water quality
     criteria as defined in these standards,
     unless specific criteria are established
     in the discharge permit.

d)   These zones of mixing shall be monitored by
     the discharger on a regular schedule established
     by the NPDES Permit and/or GEPA Discharge Permit,
     to ensure compliance with established criteria.

e)   If the Agency, pursuant to notice and opportunity
     for public hearings, finds evidence that a dis-
     charge has caused substantial damage, it may
     require conversion.of such discharge to an
     approved alternative method.  In making such a  .
     determination, the Agency may consider:

        1.  The nature and extent of damage to th-e
            environment.
        2.  Projected lifetime of discharge.

        3.  Adverse economic and environmental
            impacts, marine and terrestrial,
            resulting from such conversion.

        4.  All available data, reports, surveys
            and projects related to the discharge.

        5.  Such other factors which may prove to
            be appropriate.

Above-Ambient Discharges in Existence Prior to
Approval of These Standards.

a)   Shall be given special attention when defining
     a zone of mixing.  All criteria, established
     for part D-l above, shall apply with special
     emphasis on specific criteria listed in part
     D-la.

b)   It ia the intent of this section to establish
     a reasonable zone of mixing for discharges
     not ia compliance with existing laws, codes
     and pract ices.

                  1.  Tangussion Power Plant Zone of Mixing

                      The zone of mixing for the Tanguisson
                  Power Plant is defined as a rectangle of
                  approximately 10,000 m2 with the following
                  reference points.

                      Northern boundary - North side of intake
                         channel

                      Southern boundary - 1969 ft (600 m)

                         shore- or a depth of approximately
                        - 23 ft (7 m)

                  2.  Piti/Cabras Zone of Mixing

                      The zone of mixing for the Piti/Cabras
                  Power Plants combined is inclusive of all
                  water in the Commercial Port and Piti
                  Channel area bordered by a line from the
                  GORCO Tanker mooring and the Navy Fuel
                  Pier on Dry Dock Island.  Because of the
                  topography of this area, no zone of
                  passage can be designated.

     3.   Below-Ambient Discharges.

          All below-ambient discharges shall follow the same
          guidelines set down for thermal discharges and be
          evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

E.   PROHIBITED DISCHARGES

     No person shall cause or permit:

     1.   the.discharge of any wastes or wastewaters regardless
          of volume, unless authorized by the Administrator
          under Section 57045 of the Water Pollution Control
          Act or unless subject to control or modification
          required by a schedule of compliance established by
          the GEPA Board of Directors;

     2.   the discharge of any pollutant in toxic amounts, in-
          cluding substances which accumulate to toxic amounts
          during the expected life of organisms in the receiv-
          ing water, or which produce deleterious genetic,
          physiological, or behavioral effects on the organisms;

     3.    the discharge of any radiological,  chemical,  or  bio-
          logical warfare agent or radioactive wastes;

     4.    any discharge which would substantially  impair -
          anchorage and navigation, including any  discharge
          which the Secretary of the Army,  acting  through  the
          Chief of Engineers, finds would result in  this-
          damage;

     5.   'any discharge to which the Administrator of  the
          United States Environmental Protection Agency has
          objected in writing pursuant to any right  to object
          provided by the Federal Water Pollution  Control  Act,
         < as amended;

     6.    any discharge which is in conflict  with  an approved
          Territorial plan;

     7.    the discharge of sewage from vessels while moored,
          berthed or docked,  or underway in waters of the
          Territory except through a Coast Guard approved
          Marine Sanitation Device; and

     8.    any pollutant discharge into M-l, S-l, or  G-l
          waters as defined in Section I of these  Standards.

F.'   LAND TREATMENT AND/OR DISPOSAL OF WASTEWATER (S )

     1.    Approval of land treatment and/or disposal of liquid
          waste material(s) requires that:

          a)   wastewaters shall be restricted  to  the premises
               of the disposal site unless otherwise authorized
               by the Board;

          b)   provision shall be made by the discharger for
               monitoring the quality of the  effluent with
               the exception of single family dwelling units
               unless there are more than five  (5) units
               connected to a single system,  or the  Agency
               requires it after identifying  a  potential
               hazard.

          c)   all data and reports resulting from the ground-
               water monitoring program shall be submitted to
               the Agency.

          .d)   land treatment and/or disposal shall not create
               a public health hazard, a nuisance  condition,
               or an air pollution problem;

          e)   these standards cannot be applied to water/waste-
               water to be reused to produce products which may
                            - 20 -

          end up in the human food chain, such as crops,
          animal feed -or animal products.  The Agency
          will consider such reuse on a case-by-case
          basis using available guidelines.

2.   The evaluation for a permit for land treatment and/or
     disposal of wastewater(s) should include, but not
     necessarily be limited to, consideration of the
     following items:

     a)   The type of wastewater(s) proposed for disposal.
          (In general, the wastewater(s) should be bio-
          logically degradable but other wastewater(s)
          will be considered provided it can be shown
          that disposal'of said wastewater(s) will not
          adversely affect the designated use of the
          receiving waters.)

     b)   The nature of the earth material(s) underlying
          the disposal site.  (The applicant must provide
          reasonable assurance that the earth material(s)
          underlying the proposed disposal site will not
          allow direct rapid movement of pollutants into
          underlying groundwaters.)

     c)   The vegetative cover of.the disposal site.  (The
          selection of a vegetativie cover should reflect
          the disposal season(s), the duration and fre-
          quency of disposal and the response of the
          vegetative cover to the wastewater.  If the
          wastewater proves too strong for plant growth,
          a higher degree of treatment and/or disposal
          over a larger area may be required.)

3.   Improperly and/or inadequately treated sewage shall
     not be allowed to accumulate on the ground surface
     in such a manner that it may create a health hazard
     and/or a nuisance condition.

4.   It shall be a violation of these standards to store,
     dispose of, or allow to accumulate any deleterious
     material adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of
     any streams, rivers, or marine waters in a manner
     that such material will directly or indirectly enter
     such waters.  Such material shall include, but not
     be limited to sewage sludge, trash, rubbish, garbage,
     oil, gasoline, chemicals, sawdust, accumulations of
     manure, and stockpiles of soil.

5.   In case of accidental spills of deleterious materials,
     responsible persons in charge shall immediately
     notify the Administrator of any such spills and make
     every reasonable effort to contain spilled material
                       - 21 -

          in such,a manner that it will not pollute waters
          of the Territory.

     fc>.   Wastewater discharged to disposal wells for under-
          ground disposal shall receive, prior to discharge,
          treatment necessary to protect potable water
          resources and any adjacent marine waters or fresh
          surface waters.  See Table III.

G.   EFFLUENT DISCHARGE LIMITATIONS FOR GROUNDWATER CATEGORIES
     G-2 and G-3

     Any water percolating to the groundwater table is in a
     state of transition from being a discharge to becoming
     part of a useable body of water.  Because of the diffi-
     culty involved in tracing the source and eliminating
     pollutants after they have reached the groundwater table,
     limitations for discharges to G-2 and G-3 waters are
     established in Table III.  This Table provides criteria
     for some common water quality parameters.  The Agency will
     set limits for other parameters as necessary on case-by-
     case basis.

     The Agency will allow the application of G-3a discharge
     limitations to flows greater than 10,000 gallons per day
     if it can be shown by an engineering feasibility study
     that there will be no significant adverse effect on the
     waters of the Territory.

     The Agency also reserves the right to set more stringent
     standards than those shown in Table III if there is
     reason to believe that significant environmental damage
     will result from any discharge.  Effluent limitations
     have not been set for G-l waters because the Agency does
     not anticipate such discharges.  However, should such
     discharges be contemplated into G-l waters, they must be
     of drinking water quality and meet drinking water
     Standards.

        MARINE AND FRESH WATER QUALITY STANDARD REGULATIONS
PART 1    AUTHORITY
     Under and by virtue of the provisions of Public Law 4C-78 (63 TTC 501  at seq)
of the Trust Territory Code, and the Federal Water Pollution Control  Act Amendments
of 1972 and 1977, 33 USC 466 at seq, these Regulations and any further amendments,
and any other applicable laws, the following Marine and Fresh Water Quality
Standard Regulations are hereby promulgated.

PART 2    INTRODUCTION
     It is the purpose of the rules and regulations to identify the uses for
which the various waters of the Trust Territory shall be maintained and pro-
tected, to specify the water quality standards required to maintain the de-
signated uses, and to prescribe regulations necessary for implementing, ach-
ieving and maintaining the specified water quality. These regulations were
developed in close cooperation with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
in order that, consistent with T.T. P.L.  4C-78, they may also serve the
purposes of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended.

     Pursuant to the authority contained "in the T.T. P.L. 4C-7S,  which auth-
orized the issuance of regulations to maintain and upgrade the quality of
the waters of the Trust Territory in order to protect health, welfare, and
property, and to assure that no pollutants are discharged into the waters
without being given the degree of treatment or control necessary  to prevent
pollution, and to adopt water quality standards, the Trust Territory Environ-
mental 3rotaction Soard adopts the following rules and regulations.

PART 3    POLICY
     It is the policy of the Trust "erritory of the Pacific Islands that:

                                                                  the  Pacific
of aquatic life and for recreation in and on the water is  an  historic and
legitimate right of the people of the Trust Territory of the  Pacific  Islands.

(B)  The achievement of the water quality goals of the Trust  Territory  is  in
the public interest and that achievement of these goals should  not  represent
an unreasonable barrier to economic or social  development.

(C)  Waters whose existing quality is better than the quality specified by
these standards shall be maintained at that high quality.

(0)  Waters whose existing quality is less than the quality specified by
these standards shall be improved to comply with these standards.

(E)  No waters of the Territory shall be lowered in overall quality unless
it has been affirmatively demonstrated to the Trust Territory Environmental
Protection Board or its authorized agent that such a change .is  a necessary
result of economic or social development, is in the best  interest of the
people of the Trust Territory and will not permanently impair any beneficial
use assigned to the waters in question. "DETERMINATIONS MACE UNDER  THIS
POLICY SHALL BE MADE AFTER FULL OPPORTUNITY FOR 7USLIC PARTICIPATION AND
INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION. "

(F)  To the extent practicable, all new point sources of pollution  shall not
be to near-shore or fresh surface waters.

(G)  There shall be no direct or indirect discharge of sewage or other  waste
into any planned or intended ground or surface source of drinking water.

(H)  All sewage and waste will receive a degree of treatment necessary  to
protect the beneficial uses of the waters of t,u,e Trust Territory before
discharge.

PART 4    DEFINITIONS
     As used herein, unless the context otherwise requires, the term:
                   THTS PAGE CONTAINS AA'.EVDMEVTS
-------
                                                          Trust  Territories  of
                                                                the Pacific
authorized agent.

(B)  Coastal Waters includes "near-shore waters",  "off-shore  waters",  and
those brackish, fresh and salt waters that are subject to ebb and  flow of  the  tide.

(C)  Dilution Ratio as used in Part 7(B)(2) is the dilution ratio .a.t  the plume
centerline after initial dilution.

(D)  Initial Dilution means the dilution that the  wastewater  has achieved  with
the receiving water at the centerline of the mixing zone "(SEE PEFINITTflN  (El)"
where the mixture surfaces or the density of the raisture becomes equal  to  the
density of the surrounding receiving water. The "Initial dilution" will be
calculated by using the procedure "Users Guide and Documentation for  Outfall
Plume Model". ("Users Guide and Documentation for  Outfall Plume Model", D.J.
Baumgartner, D.S. Trent, and K.V. Syram. Working Paper #80, EPA, Pacific
Northwest Water Laboratory, May 1971. Available by writing National Technical
Information Service, 5285 Port Royal Road, Springfield,  Virginia 22151.
Order Number NTISPB 204-557, $3.00).

(E)  Mixing Zone means a defined area around a point source in which  specific
water quality criteria may be revised in accordance with Part 7(8)0)  of these
Standards. A zone of mixing is the volume of water near  the point  of  discharge
wfithin which the waste immediately mixes with ocean water due to  the  momentum
of the waste discharge and the difference in density between  the waste and the
receiving water "(SEE DEFINITION (V})."

(F)  Natural means free of substances or conditions, or  a combination  of both,
attributable to the activities of man.

(G)  Natural Conditions or Natural  Occurring means that  state of water quality
that would exist, at a specific time and place, in the absence of  the  activities
of man.

(H)  Near-Shore Waters means (a) all coastal  waters lying within a defined
reef area; and (b) all coastal waters up to 1,000  faet off-shore where there
is no defined reef area.

PART 5    WATER USE CLASSIFICATION

(A)  Classification of Coastal Water Usas

     Coastal waters are classified  in accordance with uses to be protected
in each class as follows:

     (1)  Class AA Waters
          The uses to be protected  in this class of  waters are oceanographic
research,  the support and propagation of shell -ish  and ether marine life,
conservation of coral reefs  and wilderness areas, compatible recreation,
-------
                                                               Trust  Territories  of
                                                                    the  Pacific
          It is the objective of this class of waters  that they remain  in  as
nearly their natural, pristine state as possible with  an absolute  minimum  of
pollution from any source. To the extent possible,  the wilderness  character
of such areas shall be protected. No zone of mixing will be permitted  in  these
waters.

          The classification of any water area as Class AA shall not preclude
other uses of such waters compatible with these objectives and  in  conformance
with the standards applicable to them.

     (2)  Class A Waters
          The uses to be protected in this class of waters are  recreational
(including fishing, swimming, bathing, and other water-contact  sports), aesthetic
enjoyment, and the support and propagation of aquatic  life.

          It is the objective for this class of waters that their  use  for
recreational purposes and aesthetic enjoyment not be limited in any way.
Such waters shall be kept clean of any trash, solid materials or oil,  and  shall
not act as receiving waters for any effluent which  has not received the best
degree of treatment or control practicable under existing technological and
economic conditions and compatible with the standards  established  for  this class.

     (3)  Class 3 Waters
          The uses to be protected in this class of waters are  small boat
harbors, ccmnercial and industrial shipping, bait fishing, compatible  re-
creation, the support and propagation of aquatic life, and aesthetic enjoyment.

          It is the objective for this class of waters that discharge  of  any
pollutant he controlled to the maximum degree possible and that sewage  and
industrial effluents receive the best degree of treatment control  practicable
under sxisting technological and economic conditions and compatible with  the
standards established for this class.

          The Class B designation shall  apply only  to  a limited area next  to
boat cocking facilities in bays  and narbors.  The rest  of the  watsr area in sucn
bay or harbor shall be Class A unless given some other specific designation.

(B)  Classification of Fresh Water Uses

     Fresh waters are classified in accordance  with  the uses  to be protected
as follows:

     (1)  Class 1 Waters
          The uses to be protected in this  class  of  waters are drinking water
supply, food processing, the support and  propagation of aquatic life,'and
compatible recreation.

          It is the objective of this class of  waters  that they remain in as
nearly their natural state as possible with an  absolute minimum of pollution
from any source. To the extent possible,  the wilderness character of  such
areas shall be protected. Waste discharges  into these  waters  are prohibited.

     (2)  Class 2 Waters
          The uses to be protected in this  class  of  waters arj oathing, swimming,
the support and propagation of aquatic life, compatible recreation, and agricultural
water supply.

          It is the objective of this class of  waters  that their use  for recreational
purposes, propagation of fish and other  aquatic life and  agricultural and industrial
water supply not be limited in any way.  Such watars  shall be  kept clean of trash,
solid materials and oils, and shall not  act as  receiving  waters for any effluent
which has not received the best degree of treatment  or control practical under
technologic and economic conditions and  compatible with the  standards estaolished
for this class.

"GENERAL TOXIC
     No substance or combination of substances"I.VCU/PING OIL MV PETROLEUM
PRODUCTS," shall  be present in surface  waters  in  amounts that exceed 0.01 times
the 96 LC50 concentration unless it can be  demonstrated to the Board that a
higher concentration has no adverse effect,  chronic or acute, on the intended
uses of the wat=r body in question.

     In the absence of a specific standard,  the general standards shall apply.

(C)  General  Considerations

          (1) All  methods of sample collection, preservation, and analysis
:;sad to determine  compliance with these standards shall be in accordance *ith
those specified in the current edition  of Standard Methods for the Examination
of. '.•later and  Wastewater.  Samples should be  collected at approximately equal
intervals  and under those conditions  of tide,  rainfall, and time of day when
pollution  is  most  likely to be maximum.

          (2) Whenever natural  conditions are  of  lower quality than an assigned
                                12

                                                                 the  Pacific
water quality criteria, the natural  conditions shall  constitute  the  water
quality criteria.

          (3) Whenever two (2) numeric criteria are in conflict,  the more
stringent criteria shall constitute  the water quality criteria.

          (4) Pollutant discharges to either surface or ground waters shall
be controlled so as to protect not only the receiving water but  also those
waters into which the initial receiving waters may flow.

PART 7    IMPLEMENTATION MEASURES

(A)  General Measures

     (1)  It shall be in violation of these standards for any person to initiate
any project which may represent a new or increased source of pollution, either
point source or non-point source, without first obtaining written approval
of the Board. It will be incumbent upon the person initiating the project
to demonstrate to the Board that the project will  not directly or indirectly
impair any beneficial uses of the affected waters. The Board may place condi-
tions on the construction and/or operation of the  project as necessary to
mitigate or eliminate any adverse water quality impacts associated with the
project. The Board may withhold approval  for any project until the project
has received all  necessary local and federal permits and clearances  or has
demonstrated that such clearances will be obtained at the appropriate time.

     (2)  Any point source of discharge will be in violation of  these standards
unless it has received a discharge permit under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) from the  U.S.  Environmental Protection Agency or  its
authorized agent.

     (3)  It shall be in violation of these standards for any person to store,
sispose of or allow to accumulate any hazardous substances in such a manner
that the substances may anter the sxrface or graound waters of the Trust
Territory without first obtaining written approval of the Board,  Such substances
                                13

                                                           Trust Territories of
                                                                 the Pacific
include, but are not limited to, petroleum products,  pesticides,  radioactive
substances and toxic chemicals.  The Board may require persons  handling  hazardous
materials to implement measures  to reduce the possibility  of contaminating  the
surface or ground waters of the  Trust Territory.  In the  event  of  an accidental
spill or discharge of hazardous  materials, the responsible person shall  im-
mediately notify the Board and take all  reasonable measures to contain  the
material so that it will not contaminate the surface or  ground waters of the
Trust Territory. Failure to notify the Board within twenty-four (24) hours  and
take reasonable mitigation measures shall constitute a violation  of these
standards.

(B)  Mixing Zones

     (1) General
     The water quality criteria  in Part 6(8) shall apply within a mixing zone
unless specific alternative criteria have been approved  by the Board and con-
curred upon by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Mixing zones will  not
be granted in lieu of reasonable control measures to reduce point source pollutant
discharges but will be granted to compliment the application of reasonable  controls.

     (2)  New Discharges
     All new point source discharges beginning after the effective date of  these
regulations shall apply to the Board for a zone of mixing on forms supplied by
the Board, unless it can be demonstrated that the discharge will  meet the applicable
water quality standards at the point of discharge. It shall be a  violation  of
these standards for any person to commence discharging from a new point source
without either obtaining a valid mixing zone from the 3oard or demonstrating
to the Board's satisfaction that a mixing zone is not required.

     Any application for a zone of mixing must contain the following:

          (a) Evidence that a NPDES permit has been applied for and will be obtained.

          (b) A description of the waste to be discharged  including flow rate and
pollutant types and quantities.

          (c) The location  of the  discharge and a description of the disposal
method (e.g., outfall  size, number and  type of diffusers, etc.).

          (d) Evidence that the  concentration of toxic substances persent in
the discharge will  not violate water quality standards for toxic substances.

          (e) Identification of  those substances for which the mixing zone is
required.

          (f) Either:
               1. A certification  for each substance identified in (e) above,
that after initial  mixing,  the concentration of the substance will not exceed
the applicable water quality standard.  The following equation shall be used to
calculate concentration after initial dilution:
                  c  »c*c  (D)
                  Cf 3 Concentration after mixing

                  0, * Dilution ratio;  or,

               ii. A description of the shape, size,  volume and other physical
characteristics of the mixing zone required for  each  pollutant in the discharge
so that the applicable water quality standsrds will be achieved at the boundary
of the zone. The mixing zone shall be defined  under those ccnditions of tide,
wind, runoff, density stratification and discharge that would require the
largest zone of mixing.

               iii.  Method (i)  above should be used over method (ii) whenever
possible.

          (g) Evidence that the basic water quality standarcs [Part 6(A)] will
not be violated within the mixing zone.

     (3)  Existing Discharges
          All existing point source discharges  rajst  apply  to  the  Board. f.or a
mixing zone or demonstrate that one is not required  within, eighteen  (18)  months
of the effective date of these standards.  The application  procedure  is  identical
to the one for new sources.

     (4) It shall be in violation of these standards for any  person  to  knowingly
present false or misleading information to the  Board in  an application  for a
mixing zone.

     (5)  Determination by the Board

          (a)  Review of Application
               In reviewing a mixing zone  application, the Board  will consider:
               (i) Present and anticipated usss of the water  body.
               (ii) Whether an adequate zone of passage  will  exist for  the movement
of aquatic life.
               (iii) The proximity of other mixing zones.
               (iv) Whether the granting of a .•nixing zone  is  in  the  public interest.

               The Board may request additional information from  the applicant
that is deemed relevant to the Board's detara-.nation.

          (b) Issuance of Mixing Zone
               The Board may either approve, conditionally approve or disapprove
a mixing zone application after conducting a :uolic  hearing on the application.

                     GENERAL STATEMENT
  I.   Authority

      Pursuant to the authority contained in Section 26.023
      of the Texas Water Code,  as Amended,  the Texas Water
      Development Board on behalf of the Texas Department of
      Water Resources adopts the following stream standards.


 II.   Policy Statement

      It is the policy of this  State and the ourpose of this
      chapter to maintain the quality of water in the State
      consistent with the public health and enjoyment,  the
      propagation and protection of terrestrial and aquatic
      life, the operation of existing industries, and the
      economic development of the State; to encourage and
      promote the development and use of regional and area-
      wide waste collection, treatment, and disposal systems
      to serve the waste disposal needs of the citizens of the
      State;  and to require the use of all reasonable methods
      to implement this policy  (Section 26.003, Texas Water
      Code, as amended).
III.   Antidegradation Statement

      In implementing the legislative policy expressed in
      Section 26.003, it is the policy of the Texas Department
      of Water Resources that:

      1.  The waters in the State whose existing quality
          is better than the applicable water quality
          standards described herein as of the date
          when these standards  become effective will
          as provided hereafter be maintained at their
          high quality, and no  waste discharges may be
          made which will result in the lowering of the
          quality of these waters unless and until it
          has been demonstrated to the Texas Department
          of Water Resources that the change is justifiable
          as a result of necessary economic or social develop-
          ment.
-------
                                                       Texas
2.   Water uses identified in the numerical criteria
    of these standards, will be maintained...  Identified
    uses will be reviewed when appropriate and changes,
    if necessary,  will be proposed and justified in
    accordance with 40 CFR~, 35.1550 (c) (2) (3)  and (4).
    Additionally,  no degradation shall be allowed in
    high quality waters within or adjacent to National
    Parks and Wildlife refuges or wild and scenic rivers
    designated by law if such degradation would signifi-
    cantly impact the use of an area for its designated
    purposes.  Existing instream water uses shall be
    protected consistent with provisions of Chapter 11
    of the Texas Water Code and in accordance with
    Section 101 (g)  of the Federal Clean Water Act.

3.   The Department will not authorize or aporove any
    waste discharge which will result in the quality
    of any of the waters in the State being reduced
    below the water quality standards without complying
    with the Federal and State laws applicable to the
    amendment of water quality standards.

4.   Anyone making a waste discharge from any industrial,
    public or private project of development which would
    constitute a new source of pollution or an in-
    creased source of pollution to any of the waters
    in the State will be required, as part of the
    initial project design to provide the highest and
    best degree of waste treatment available under
    existing technology consistent with the best
    practice in the particular field affected under
    the conditions applicable to the project or
    development.

The Executive Director will keep the Environmental
Protection Agency informed of its activities and will
furnish to the agency such reoorts in such form, and
containing such information as the Administrator of
the Environmental Protection Agency may from time to
time reasonably require to carry out his functions
under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, 33 U.S.C.,
1251, et sec;;.  Additionally, the Executive Director
will consult and cooperate with the Environmental
Protection Agency on all matters affecting the
federal interest.

V.  Classification of Surface Waters

    The surface waters of the State have been divided into
    the following categories for ease of classification.

    1.  River Basin Waters - those surface inland waters
        comprising the major rivers and their tributaries,
        including listed impounded waters, and including
        the tidal portion of the river to the extent that
        it is confined in a channel.

    2.  Coastal Basin Waters - those surface inland
        waters, including listed impounded waters,
        exclusive of (1)  above/discharging or flowing
        or otherwise communicating with bays or the
        gulf including the tidal portion of streams
        to the extent that they are confined in
        channels.

    3.  Bay Waters - all tidal waters exclusive of
        those included in river basin waters, coastal
        basin waters, and gulf waters.

    4.  Gulf Waters - those waters which are not
        included in or form a part of any bay or
        estuary but which are a part of the open
        waters of the Gulf of Mexico to the limit
        of Texas' -jurisdiction.


V.  Description of Standards

    The General Statement is an integral part of the Standards
    and the Standards shall be interpreted in accord with the
    General Statement.

    The Standards consist of three parts:

    1.  General Criteria applicable to all surface waters
        of the State except as otherwise provided herein.

    2.  Numerical Criteria applicable to specific surface
        •waters designated in the standards.

    3.  Water Uses deemed desirable for specific surface
        waters designated in the Standards.

        The designation of a segment as desirable for a
        particular water usage reflects the objective of
        the Texas Department of Water Resources to attain
        and maintain a quality of water appropriate to a
        specific water usage for a stream segment.

                                                             Texas
VI.  General Criteria

     The general criteria enumerated below are applicable
     to all surface waters of the State at-all times and
     specifically apply with respect to substances* attrib-
     uted to waste discharges or the activities of man as
     opposed to natural phenomena.  Natural waters may, on
     occasion, have characteristics outside the limits
     established by these criteria; in which these criteria
     do not apply.  The criteria adopted herein relate to
     the condition of waters as affected by waste discharges
     or man's activities.  The following criteria do not
     override a specific exception to any one or more of
     the following if the exception is specifically stated
     in a water quality standard.

     1.  Taste and odor producing substances shall be
         limited to concentrations in the waters of the
         State that will not interfere with the production
         of potable water by reasonable water treatment
         methods, or impart unpalatable flavor to food
         fish, including shellfish, or result in offensive
         odors arising from the waters, or otherwise inter-
         fere with the reasonable use of the waters.

     2.  The surface waters of the State shall be main-
         tained so as to be essentially free of floating
         debris and suspended solids conducive to the
         production of putrescible sludge deposits or
         sediment layers which would adversely affect
         benthic biota or any lawful uses.

     3.  The surface waters of the State shall be main-
         tained so as to be essentially free of settleable
         suspended solids conducive to changes in the flow
         characteristics of stream channels, to the untimely
         filling of reservoirs, lakes, and bays.

     4.  The surface waters of the State shall be main-
         tained in an aesthetically attractive condition.

     5.  There shall be no substantial change in turbidity
         from ambient conditions due to waste discharges.

     6.  There shall be no foaming or frothing of a
         persistent nature.

     7.  There shall be no discharge of radioactive
         materials in excess of that amount regulated
         by the Texas Radiation Control Act, Article
         4590 (f), Revised Civil Statutes, State of
         Texas and Texas Regulation for Control of
         Radiation.

                                                       Texas
    Radioactivity levels  in the surface waters of
    Texas,  including the  radioactivity levels in
    both suspended and dissolved solids for the
    years 1958  through 1960,  were measured and
    evaluated by the Environmental Sanitation
    Services Section of the Texas Department "of
    Health in a report prepared for and at the
    direction of the Health Department by the
    Sanitary Engineering  Research Laboratory
    at the University of  Texas.  The document
    is entitled, "Report  on Radioactivity—Levels
    in Surface Waters—1958-1960" pursuant to
    contract No. 4413-407 and is dated June 30,
    1960.  This document  comprises an authorita-
    tive report on background radioactivity levels
    in the surface waters in the State and quite
    importantly sets out  the locations where natural
    radioactive deposits  have influenced surface
    water radioactivity.   The impact of radio-
    active discharges that may be made into the
    surface waters of Texas will be evaluated
    and judgments made on the basis of the
    information in the report which was at the
    ime made, and may still be the only compre-
    hensive report of its kind in the nation.

    Radioactivity in fresh waters associated with
    the dissolved minerals (measurements made on
    filtered samples) shall not exceed those
    enumerated in the Interim Primary Drinking
    Water Regulations, December 1977, or latest
    revision, unless such conditions are of
    natural origin.

8.   The surface waters of the State shall be
    maintained so that they will not be toxic to
    man, fish and wildlife, and other terrestrial
    and aquatic life.

    With specific reference to public drinking
    water supplies, toxic materials not removable
    by ordinary water treatment techniques shall
    not exceed those enumerated in the Interim
    Primary Drinking Water Regulations, December,
    1977, or latest revision.

    For a general guide,  with respect to fish
    toxicity, receiving waters outside mixing
    zones should not have a concentration of
    nonpersistent toxic materials exceeding
    1/10 of the 96-hour LC50, where the bio-
    assay is made using fish indigenous to the
-------
                                                           Texas
     receiving waters.   Similarly,  for persistent
     toxicants, the concentrations  should not exceed
     1/20 of the 96-hour LC50.

     For evaluations of toxicity,  bioassay techniques
     will be selected as suited to  the purpose at hand.
     As a general guideline,  bioassays will be conducted
     using fish indigenous to the  receiving waters,  and
     water quality conditions (temperature, hardness,
     pH, salinity, dissolved  oxygen,  etc.)  which apnrox-
     imate those of the receiving  waters.

 9.   At the present time sufficient information is not
     available concerning (1) cause-effect relation-
     ships between nutrient concentrations and water
     quality, and (2) nutrient cycling mechanisms in
     Texas waters, to establish appropriate water
     quality standards for nutrients.  As such infor-
     mation becomes available standards for nutrients
     will be established, if  appropriate.  Decisions
     regarding the establishment of nutrient standards
     will be made on a case-by-case basis by the Depart-
     ment after proper hearing and public participation.
     The establishment of a schedule for decisions as
     to the need for the nutrient  standards which should
     be adopted is not feasible at this time.

10.   The surface waters of the State shall be main-
     tained so that no oil, grease, or related residue
     will produce a visible film of oil or globules of
     grease on the surface, or coat the banks and bottoms
     of the watercourse.

11.   A dissolved oxygen concentration of at least
     2.0 mg/L shall be maintained  in all waters of
     the State, with the exception of intermittent
     streams and inland effluent dominated streams,
     for all flow conditions  for which a dissolved
     oxygen limit is not enumerated elsewhere in
     these Standards (note also Section IX.4).

12.   The quality of surface waters of the State, other
     than intermittent streams and those segments with
     specifically identified desired uses and numerical
     criteria, will be protected so that certain minimal
     uses such as navigation, agricultural water supply,
     or industrial water supply will be maintained.   The
     foregoing statement is not to be construed to mean
     that the criteria enumerated in Quality Criteria for
     Water shall be applied in determining suitable water
     quality for the uses identified.
-------
                                                                  Texas
      13.  Consistent with its water resource management
           responsibilities, the State has determined that
           in most areas of the State the use of man-made
           impoundments for industrial cooling accomplishes
           both water conservation and water quality manage-
           ment objectives.  While numerical criteria for
           temperature are not established for all such'
           reservoirs, temperatures in these reservoirs and
           all other surface waters of the State shall be
           maintained so as not to interfere with the reasonable
           use of such waters for beneficial purposes consistent
           with the Policy Statement and in accordance with
           water rights permits.


VII.  Numerical Criteria

      The numerical  criteria apply to the specific waters
      identified.  A detailed description of the inland seg-
      ment boundaries is contained in Appendix B - Segment
      Descriptions.  Boundaries of coastal and estuarine seg-
      ments have not yet been precisely defined; however,
      approximations are illustrated in the Segment Identifica-
      tion Maps, Texas River and Coastal Basins, Texas Depart-
      ment of Water Resources,  LP-132,  October 1980.   Stream
      standards are established and specifically apply with
      respect to substances attributed to waste discharges or
      the activities of man as  opposed to natural phenomena.
      Other surface waters are  covered by the criteria in
      the General Statement and Section IX, 4.

      Chemical concentration parameters,  with the exception of
      dissolved oxygen and pH,  apply to the approximate midpoint
      of the segment.  The numerical values shown represent
      arithmetic average conditions over a period of  one year.
      Compliance is determined  from at least four measurements
      per segment by averaging  measurements from all  monitoring
      stations within the segment to allow for reasonable
      gradients within the segment.  Whenever an unusual
      chemical concentration is found,  an investigation of
      its origin will be made and such action as is warranted
      initiated.  These chemical parameters,  as identified in
      the numerical criteria will be maintained through the
      permit review process.  Salinity levels in estuarine
      areas are discussed in Section XI,  (2)  Estuarine Salinity.

      The dissolved oxvgen values are minimum values  which
      .irv applicable except, as  qualified in Section IX.
      For short periods of time,  diurnal  variations of
      1.0 mc/L below the standard specified in the  table
      uhall be allowed for no more  than 8 hours during
      any 24-hour period.
-------
                                                                 Texas
The pH range represents maximum and minimum conditions
throughout the segment except as qualified in Section IX.

The temperature limitations are intended to be applied
with judgment and are applicable to the waters specif-
ically identified herein with the qualifications'enumerated
in Section IX.  Temperature standards are composed of two
parts, a maximum temperature and a maximum temperature
differential attributable to heated effluents.


    Tidal River Reaches, Bay and Gulf Waters:

                                              Summer
                                «_, -,          (June, July
                            „.      „  •       August)
                            Winter, Spring    —	

       Maximum Temp. Diff.        4°F         1.5°F

       Maximum Temperature       95°F          95°F

The specific temperature differentials shall not apply
where the temperature increase is due to the discharge
of a treated domestic (sanitary) sewage effluent.

The maximum temperature differential applies only to
temperatures below the maximum criteria.   If a recorded
temperature exceeds the maximum criteria for a specific
segment it will be considered a violation of the Water
Quality Standards.

Bacteriological water quality standards consist of two
parts:   (1) a measure of general quality, and  (2) a
limit on variations from the general quality.
-------
                                                                    Texas
       For all waters except gulf and bay waters, the measure
       of general quality is the logarithmic mean (geometric
       mean)  of fecal coliform determinations.  The number
       specified in the tables applies to the logarithmic
       mean of data from a representative sampling of not
       less than 5 samples collected over not more than 3*0
       days.   All aspects of the sampling shall be such that
       a truly representative result is obtained.  For routine
       observation and evaluation of water quality, lesser
       numbers of samples collected over longer periods will
       be used.  In bay waters (exclusive of bay waters in the
       buffer zone),  the number specified in the tables applies
       to the median total coliform density as specified in
       the "National Shellfish Sanitation Program Manual or
       Operations, Part 1, Sanitation Shellfish Growing Areas",
       1965 Revision, or latest revision.

       The limit on variations from the general bacteriological
       quality on all waters except gulf and bay waters is a
       fecal coliform density which shall not be equaled or
       exceeded in more than 10% of the samples.  This density
       is twice the numerical criteria specified in the table.
       In the instance of gulf and bay waters (exclusive of
       the buffer zone), the criteria for shellfish growing
       water shall apply.
VIII.  Water uses

       1.  Contact recreation waters

           Surface waters suitable for contact recreation
           shall not exceed a logarithmic mean (geometric
           mean) fecal coliform content of 200 organisms
           per 100 ml from a representative sampling of
           not less than 5 samples collected over not more
           than 30 days, as determined by either multiple-
           tube fermentation or membrane filter techniques.
           No more than 10 percent of the total samples
           taken during any 30-day period shall exceed a
           logarithmic mean fecal coliform content of 400
           organisms per 100 ml.

           Simple compliance with bacteriological standards
           does not insure that waters are safe for primary
           contact recreation, such as swimming.   Long-
           standing public health principles mandate that
           a watershed sanitary survey be conducted in order
           to adequately evaluate the sanitary hazards poten-
           tially present on any natural watercourse.

2.   Noncontact recreation

    Surface waters for general or noncontact
    recreation should, with specific and. limited
    exceptions,  be suitable for human use in    ,
    recreation activities not involving signifi-
    cant risks of ingestion.   These waters shall
    not exceed a logarithmic  mean (geometric mean)
    fecal coliform content of 2,000/100 ml,  nor
    equal or exceed 4,000/100 ml in more than 10
    percent of the samples, except in specified
    mixing zones adjacent to  outfalls.

3.   Domestic raw water supply

    It is the goal that the chemical auality of all
    surface waters used for domestic raw water supply
    conform to the Interim Drinking Water Regulations.
    However, it must be realized that some surface
    waters are being used that cannot meet these
    standards.  Since in these cases it is the only
    source available, these surface waters may be
    deemed suitable for use as a domestic raw water
    supply, where the chemical constituents do not
    pose a potential health hazard.

    The evaluation of raw water for domestic use cannot
    be reduced to simply counting bacteria of any kind
    and the foregoing must be used with judgment and
    discretion.   This paragraph is not intended to
    limit the responsibilities and authorities of
    responsible local governments or local health
    agencies.

4.   Propagation of fish and wildlife

    The water quality requirements necessary to
    support the propagation of fish and wildlife
    are too diverse to be defined by a single set
    of numerical criteria.  Different, but equally
    desirable, biological communities may have
    substantially different water quality reauire-
    ments.  Also, the impact of a given chemical
    or physical component on a biological community
    can be assessed only when the other components
    of the system are known since synergistic and
    antagonistic interactions are common.  Deter-
    mination of the suitability of a stream for
    the propagation of fish and wildlife is most
    effectively accomplished by an assessment which
    considers both the physical-chemical parameters
    of the stream and the biological community present
    in the stream.

         Specific criteria do exist with respect to
         shellfish waters.  In shellfish areas in the
         bays and outside the buffer zones,  the total
         coliform criteria shall be limited  and guided
         by the latest revision of the U. S. Public
         Health Service Manual, "Sanitation  of Shellfish
         Growing Areas".


IX.   Application of Standards

     1.  Flow Criteria

         The flow criteria as defined below  and listed
         specifically for each segment at the referenced
         stations (See Appendix A) apply only to river
         and coastal basin waters.  They do  not apply
         to reservoir, estuarine,  or gulf waters.  Flow
         conditions were computed from historic USGS
         daily streamflow records where available.   In
         cases where there was not a USGS flow station
         at the TDWR monitoring station, the base flow
         condition was interpolated/extrapolated from
         the nearest comparable USGS stations.  The
         seven-day,  two-year low flows shown in Appendix
         A were calculated using USGS data.   When the
         calculated seven-day, two-year low  flow was less
         than 0.1 cfs the base flow was set  at 0.1 cfs.

         The flows will be recomputed periodically to
         reflect any alterations in the hydrologic
         characteristics of a segment which  may result
         from upstream activities in the basin, including
         construction of new reservoirs, climatological
         trends or other phenomena.

         a.  Chemical Parameters:   The water quality
             standards exclusive of temperature, dis-
             solved oxygen, and pH, but including chlorides,
             sulfates, and total dissolved solids represent
             annual arithmetic mean concentrations which
             shall not be exceeded for any year.  The
             measurements that shall be used to compute
             the annual arithmetic mean will be only
             those taken when the flow at the time of
             sampling equals or exceeds the  specified
             flow criterion.  At least four  (4) measure-
             ments per year are required to  determine
             compliance with standards.
                             11
-------
                                                         Texas
    b.   The dissolved oxygen and pH standards represent
        minimum and minimum/maximum values,  respectively,
        and shall apply at all times that the daily
        flow equals or exceeds the specified flow
        criterion.

    c.   Temperature:  The temperature standard
        represents  a maximum value that shall apply
        at all times that the daily flow exceeds the
        specified flow criterion.

    d.   Other Parameters and General Criteria:  The
        general criteria and the nuraberical  criteria
        not specifically discussed above shall apply
        at all times regardless of flow unless specif-
        ically excepted under Section IX, 4.

    e.   The flow criteria identified in Appendix A
        are solely for the purpose of defining the
        conditions  under which the numerical water
        quality standards apply to a given water
        body.  The Appendix A flow criteria  are not
        for the purpose of regulating flows  in water
        bodies in any manner or requiring that minimun
        flows be maintained in the referenced water
        bodies.

2.   Mixing Zones

    Where mixing zones are specifically defined in a
    valid waste discharge permit issued by the Texas
    Department of Water Resources or a National Pollutant
    Discharge Elimination System Permit, the defined
    zone shall apply.

    Where the mixing zone is not so defined, a reasonable
    zone shall be allowed.  Because of varying local
    physical, chemical and biological conditions, no
    single criterion is applicable in all cases.  In
    no case, however, where fishery resources are con-
    sidered significant, shall the mixing zone allowed
    preclude the passage of free-swimming and drifting
    aquatic organisms to the extent of significantly
    affecting their populations.  Normally mixing zones
    should be limited to no more than 25 percent of the
    cross-sectional area and/or volume of flow of the
    stream or estuary, leaving at least 75 percent free
    as a zone of passage unless otherwise defined bv
    specific Board Order or Permit.  Where specific
    mixing zones are defined consideration will be given
    to the guidance in Chapter 5, Guidelines for State
    and Areawide Water Quality Management Program Develop-
    ment,  (1976) in establishing the mixing  zone.

                        12

                                                              Texas
    3.  Buffer Zones in Bay and Gulf Waters

        For all bay and gulf waters, exclusive of those
        contained in river or coastal basins as defined
        in Section IV, a buffer zone of 1, CKX) feet
        measured from the shorelines at ordinary high
        tide is hereby established.  In this zone, the
        bacteriological requirements enumerated in other
        sections of these standards shall  not apply.  In
        these zones, the logarithmic mean  (geometric mean)
        density of fecal coliform organisms shall not
        exceed 200/100 ml nor shall more than 10% of the
        total samples exceed 400/100 ml.   The foregoing
        percentages are applicable when examining data
        from not less than 5 samples collected over not
        more than 30 days.  For routine observation and
        evaluation of water quality, lesser numbers of
        samples collected over longer periods will be used.

    4.  Exceptions

        The Water Quality Standards will not apply to
        treated effluents and, except General Criteria,
        will not apply to:

        a.  water in mixing zones as defined in this
            section or in a waste discharge operating
            under a valid permit issued by the Texas
            Department of Water Resources  or the National
            Pollutant Discharge Elimination System,  or

        b.  dead-end barge and dead-end ship channels
            constructed for navigation purposes unless
            specifically designated in the tables.   This
            does not include finger canals to marinas or
            other developments.

        In dead-end barge canals and dead-end ship channels,
        intermittent streams,  and inland effluent dominated
        streams,  a minimum goal  shall be to maintain a
        concentration of 2.0 mg/L dissolved oxvgen except
        in areas where it is not feasible or justifiable.
        Nothing in this statement precludes requiring waste
        treatment over and above that required to meet a
        2.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen standard.


X.  Determination of Compliance

    In making any tests or analytical determination  on
    classified surface waters to determine compliance
                           13
-------
                                                               Texas
    or noncompliance with water quality standards,
    representative samples shall be collected.at loca-
    tions approved by the Texas Department of Water
    Resources.

1.   Collection and Preservation of Samples


    In tidal river reaches,  the temperature standards
    apply to the fresh water layer in stratified
    situations similar to impoundments.
2.  Estuarine Salinity

    It is recognized that the maintenance of proper
    salinity gradients during various periods of the
    year within estuarine waters is very important
    to the continuation of balanced and desirable
    populations of estuarine dependent marine life.
    The dominant force in determining salinity gra-
    dients is weather — although gradients can be
    affected by waste discharges; modifications in
    the flow regime of in-flbw rivers and streams,
    by the construction of impoundments, water diver-
    sions, etc.; and by physical alterations of gulf
    passes and other interconnections between
    estuarine and gulf waters.  Since the dominant
    force controlling salinity gradients is beyond
    control, meaningful salinity standards cannot
    be enforced.  Careful consideration, however,
    will always be given to all activities of any
    nature which can or might detrimentally affect
    salinity gradients in estuarine waters.

    Ail phases  of  the natural  mineral composition
    of estuarine and marine  waters  commonly known
    as salinity or salinity  gradient are outside
    the scope of these standards,  but are not
    outside the scope of  the interest,  respon-
    sibility, and  authority  of the  several State
    agencies concerned with  water quality,  quantity,
    development, regulations,  and administration.
    For the State's purposes,  using both existing
    data and data  yet to  be  collected,  the State
    proposes to adopt carefully considered estuarine
    salinity criteria upon which future State evalua-
    tions and regulatory  actions might be based.
    Such evaluations and  regulatory actions shall not
    be precluded because  of  the absence of established
    salinity standards.

                     VIRGINIA





1.01  General Standard



          All State waters shall be maintained at such



quality as will permit all reasonable, beneficial uses




and will support the propagation and growth of all



aquatic life, including game fish, which might




reasonably be expected to inhabit them.



          All State waters shall be free from substances




attributable to sewage, industrial waste, ot other waste




in concentrations, amounts, or combination which contra-



vene established standards or interfere directly or



indirectly with reasonable, beneficial uses of such



water or which are inimical or harmful to human, animal,




plant, or aquatic life.  Specific substances to be



controlled include, but are not limited to: floating



debris, oil, scum, and other floating materials; toxic




substances, substances that produce color, tastes,



turbidity, odors, or settle to form sludge deposits,




and heated substances.






1.06  Antidegradation Policy  (Existing)




          Waters whose existing quality is better than




the established standards as of the date on which such
-------
                                                         Virginia
standards become effective will be maintained at high

quality; provided that the Board has the power to

authorize any project or development, which would con-

stitute a new or an increased discharge of effluent

to high quality water, when it has been affirmatively

demonstrated that a change is justifiable to provide

necessary economic or social development; and provided/

further, that the necessary degree of waste treatment

to maintain high water quality will be required where

physically and economically feasible.  Present and

anticipated use of such waters will be preserved and

protected.


2.05  Coliform Bacteria - Shellfish Water

          In open ocean or estuarine waters in specific

areas where leased private or public shellfish beds are

present, the following standard  for  fecal coliform

bacteria will apply:

          The median  fecal coliform  value for a
          sampling station shall not exceed an
          MPN of 14 per 100 ml of  sample and not
          more than 10% of samples shall exceed
          43 for a 5  tube, 3 dilution test or
          49 for a 3  tube, 3 dilution test.

other beneficial uses.

        Coliforro Organisms - Fecal colifonns (multiple-

tube fermentation or MF count) not to exceed a log

mean of 1000/100 ml.  Not to equal or exceed 2000/100

ml in more than 10% of samples.

        Monthly average value not more than 5000/100

ml  (MPN or MF count) .  Not more than 5000 MPN/100 ml

in more than 20% of samples in any month.  Not more

than 20,000/100 ml in more than 5% of  such samples.*


                       SUBCLASS B

        Waters generally satisfactory  for  use  as  public

or municipal water supply, primary contact recreation

 (prolonged intimate  contact;  considerable  risk of

ingestion), propagation of fish and other  aquatic life,

and other beneficial  uses.

              KEY TO SPECIAL STANDARDS

a.   In those sections of Class IA, IB, IIA and IIB waters
    within this State where leased private, or public
    shellfish beds are present, the following bacterial
    standards shall be established in addition to other
    bacterial standards adopted for the protection of
    primary or secondary recreation:

    Coliform organisms - The median MPN shall not exceed
    70/100 ml, and not more than 10% of the samples
    ordinarily shall exceed an MPN of 230/100 ml for a
    5-tube decimal dilution test  tor 330/100 ml, where
    a 3-tube decimal dilution is used) in those portions
    of the area most probably exposed to fecal contam-
    ination during the most unfavorable conditions.

    In addition, the shellfish area is not to be so
    contaminated by radionuclides, pesticides, herbi-
    cides, or fecal material so that consumption of the
    shellfish might be hazardous.*
   Based on National Shellfish Sanitation Program Manual
   of Operations.

General Water Quality Criteria

          All surface waters shall meet generally

accepted aesthetic qualifications and shall be capable

of supporting diversified aquatic life.  These waters

shall -be free of substances attributable to municipal,

industrial/ or other discharges or wastes as follows:

           (a)  Materials that will settle to form

               objectionable deposits.

           (b)  Floating debris, oil, scum, and other

               matter.

           (c)  Substances producing objectionable


               color, odor, taste, or turbidity.

           (d)  Materials, including radionuclides, in

               concentrations or combinations which

               are toxic or which produce undesirable

               physiological responses in human, fish,

               and other animal life, and plants.

           (e)  Substances and conditions or combinations

               thereof in concentrations which produce

               undesirable aquatic life.

                                                    Virgin Islands
          (c)   No heat may be added except in designated




mixing zones which would cause temperatures to exceed




90 "F, or which would cause the monthly mean of the   »




maximum daily temperature at any site, prior to the




addition of any heat, to be exceeded by more than 1.5°F.




          (d)   No discharge or combination of discharges




shall be injurious to fish or shellfish or the culture




or propagation of a balanced indigenous population




thereof.




          (e)   Rate of temperature change outside the




mixing zone shall- not be more than 1°F per hour, nor




to exceed 5°F in any 24-hour period except when natural




phenomena cause these limits to be exceeded.




          (f)   Unless specific conditions, such as




spawning ground, migratory routes, or other sections




of conditions from these regulations are applicable,




the mixing zone should be defined by a sphere with




a specified point as the center (not necessarily the




outfall but limited to one point for each installation)




and a radius equal to the square root of the volume




of discharge  (A) expressed as millions of gallons per




day, times 200 feet; and in no case exceed 3/4 mile.

Mixing Zones


          The need, location, size and depth of the


mixing zones -in surface waters and estuaries shall


established according to the following mixing zone


criteria and boundaries.


          (a)  Mixing Zone Criteria


               (1J  Mixing zones shall be provided


          solely for mixing.  Mixing must be accomp-


          lished as quickly as possible through the


          use of devices which insure that the waste


          is mixed with the allocated dilution water


          in the smallest practicable area.


               (2)  For the protection of aquatic life


          resources, the mixing.zones must not be


          used for or be considered as a substitute


          fox* waste treatment facilities.


               (3)  At the boundary of the mixing zone


          the water should comply with all the water


          quality standards set forth for its classifi-
                         -7-
-------
                                        Virgin  Islands
cation.  If, after complete mixing with
the available dilution water, these require-
ments are not met, the effluent must be
adequately pretreated until the standards
are met.
     (4)  No conditions shall be permitted
to exist within the mixing zone,  (.A) that are
rapidly lethal (i.e., exceed the 96-hour
median tolerance- limit) to locally important
and desirable indigenous aquatic life,  (B)
that prohibit planktonic organisms from
being carried through the mixing zone.  These
organisms will be exposed to its conditions
only for the period of time required to drift
through the mixing zone and will survive
without undue damage or stress while they
are passing through.
     (5)  Maximum vertical dispersion of
wastewater discharge flow shall be provided
for in the mixing zone.
     (6)  Mixing zones shall not intersect
spawning or nursery areas, migratory routes,
water intake, nor mouths of rivers.
                 -B-
-------
      (7)  Suspended solids in wastewacers
                                          Virgin Islands
being discharged shall not settle in measur-

able amounts in the mixing zones.

(b)  Mixing Zone Boundaries

      (1)  The mixing zone must be located'

in such a mann'er as to allow at  all times

passageways for the movement or  drift of the

biota (pelagic or invertebrate organisms).

The width of the mixing zone and the volume

of flow in it shall depend on and will be

determined by the nature of the water current

and/or the estuary.  The area, depth, and

volume of the flow must be sufficient to

provide a usable and desirable passageway

for fish and other aquatic organisms.

      (2)  The passageway must contain at

least 75 percent of the cross sectional area

and/or volume of flow' of the estuary, and

should extend to at least 50% of the width.

      (3)  A mixing zone shall not overlap

with an adjacent mixing zone.

Antidegradation
          Waters whose existing quality is better than
the established standards as of the date on which such
standards become effective will be maintained at their
existing high quality.  These and other waters of the
Virgin Islands will not be lowered in quality unless
and until it has been affirmatively demonstrated to the
'. erritory's water pollution control agency and the
Environmental Protection Agency that such change is
justifiable as a result of necessary economic or social
development and will not interfere with or become
injurious to any assigned uses made of, or presently
possible in, such waters.  Any industrial, public or
private project or development which would constitute
a new source of pollution or an increased source of
pollution to high quality waters will be required, as
part of the initial project design, to provide the highest
and best practicable degree of waste treatment available
under existina technology, and since these are also
Federal standards, these waste treatment requirements
will be developed cooperatively.

Analytical Procedures                          Virg1n Islands




          The analytical procedures used as methods of




analysis to determine the chemical, bacteriological,




biological, and radiological quality of waters




sampled shall be in accordance with, the latest edition




of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and




Waste Water"'or other methods aooroved by the Virgin




Islands Department of Health and the Environmental




Protection Agency.






Applicability of Standards




          The proceeding criteria will be applicable




to all Virgin Islands Coastal Waters at all places




and at all times.

     WAG  173-201-010   PURPOSE.   The  purpose  of  this  chapter is to
     establish water  quality  standards  for surface waters of the
     state  of  Washington  pursuant to the provisions  of chapter
     90.48  RCW and  the policies  and  purposes ^hereof.

     WAG  173-201-020   WATER USE  AND  QUALITY  CRITERIA.   The water
     use  and quality  criteria set forth in WAC  173-201-035
     through 173-201-050  are  established in  conformance with
     present and  potential  water uses of said surface  waters and
     in consideration of  the  natural water quality potential and
     •limitations  of the same.  Nonetheless,  the dynamic nature of
     the  process  is also  recognized.  Hence, frequent  review of
     these  uses and criteria  is  anticipated; and revisions will
     be undertaken  as additional information is developed.

     WAC  173-201-025   DEFINITIONS.

(1)   Background Conditions:   The biological, chemical, and physical
     conditions of  a  water  body, upstream from  the point
     or nonpoint  source of  any discharge under  consideration.
     Background sampling  location in an enforcement  action would
     be upstream  from the point  of discharge, but not  upstream
     from other inflows.  If  several discharges to any water body
     exist,, and enforcement action is being  taken for  possible
     violations to  the standards,  background sampling  would be
     undertaken immediately upstream from each  discharge.

(2)   Fecal  Coliform:   That  portion of the coliform group
     which  is  present in  the  intestinal tracts  and feces of
     warmblooded  animals  as detected by the  product  of acid
     or gas from  lactose  in a suitable  culture  medium  within
     24 hours  at  44.5 degrees plus or minus  0.2 degrees Celsius.

(3)   Mean Detention Time: The time obtained  by  dividing .a^reser-
     voir's mean  annual minimum  total storage by the 30-tda_y "ten-
     year low-flow  from the reservoir.

(4)   Median Value:  That  value of a  group of measurements that
     falls  in  the middle  when the measurements  are arranged in
     order  of  magnitude.  If  the number of measurements is even,
     the  median value would be the value halfway between the two
     middle measurements.

(5)   Permit:   A document  issued  pursuant to  RCW 90.48.160 et seq.
     or RCW 90.48.260 or  both, specifying the waste  treatment
     and  control  requirements and waste discharge conditions.

(6)   pH:  The  negative logarithm of  the hydrogen ion concentration.
                             -1-
-------
                                                            Washington
(7)   Surface  Waters  of  the  State:   Include lakes,  rivers,
     ponds, streams,  inland waters,  saltwaters,  and all other
     surface  waters  and water  courses  within th.e jurisdiction of
     the  state  of Washington.

(8)   Temperature:  Temperature expressed  in degrees Celsius.

(9)   Turbidity:   The clarity of water  expressed  as nephelometric
     turbidity  units (NTU)-and measured with a calibrated
     turbidimeter.

(10)  Upwelling:   Upwelling  is  a direct result of wind stress  on
     the  sea  surface.   As winds blow parallel to a coast,  the net
     flow of  water is at an angle  of about 45° toward the  sea.
     This flow  causes cold  bottom  water to move  upward to  replace
     the  warmer surface water  moving offshore.  The cold water is
     rich «in  dissolved  nutrients and has  a low dissolved oxygen
     content.

     WAC  173-201-035 GENERAL  CONSIDERATIONS. The following
     general  guidelines shall  apply to the water quality criteria
     and  classifications set forth in  WAC 173-201-020 through WAC
     173-201-085 hereof:

(1)   At the boundary between waters of different classifications,
     the  water  quality  criteria for the higher classification
     shall prevail.

(2)   In brackish waters of  estuaries,  where the  fresh and  marine
     water quality criteria differ within the same classification,
     the  criteria shall be  interpolated on the basis of salinity;
     except  that the marine water  quality criteria shall apply
     for  dissolved oxygen when the salinity is one part per
     thousand or greater and for fecal coliform  organisms  when
     the salinity is ten parts per thousand or greater.

(3)   The water quality  criteria herein established shall not apply
     within  an authorized dilution zone adjacent to or surrounding
     a wastewater discharge.

(4)   Generally, waste discharge permits,  whether issued pursuant
     to the  National Pollutant Discharge  Elimination System or
     otherwise, shall be conditioned in such manner as to author-
     ize discharges  which meet the water  quality standards.

      (a)   However, persons  discharging wastes in compliance with
          the terms  and conditions of permits shall not be subject
          to civil and  criminal penalties on the basis that
          discharge  violates receiving water  standards.
                             -2-
-------
                                                           Washington
     (b)   Permits  shall  be  subject  to modification  by the
          department  of  ecology whenever  it  appears to the
          department  the discharge  violates  receiving water
          standards.   Modification  of permits,  as provided
          herein/  shall  be  subject  to review in the same
          manner as originally issued permits.

(5)   Nonpoint  Sources and Water Quality Standards.

     (a)   It  is recognized  that many activities not subject
          to a waste  discharge permit system are now being
          performed in the  state, which result  in conflicts
          with the receiving water  quality standards of this
          chapter.  Further, the department  has not devel-
          oped a program which, in  a reasonable or  fully
          satisfactory manner, provides methods or  means
          for  meeting such  standards.  Persons  conducting
          such activities shall not be subject  to civil or
          criminal sanctions for violation of water quality
          standards if the  activities are either:

          (i)  Conducted in accordance with  management prac-
              tices  set forth by rules of the  department.

              For example, promulgation  of  regulations by
              the department which set forth approved
              management practices or other effluent limits
              shall  be  accomplished so that activities
              conducted within such regulations,  (i.e.,
              Forest Practices Rules and Regulations
              chapter 173-202 WAG  and Title 222 WAG)  will
              achieve compliance with water pollution
              control laws.  When  the regulations  are
              violated,  the water  quality standard can
              be  enforced  as described in WAG  173-201-
              045; or,

          (ii) Subject to a regulatory order issued by the
              department relating  to specific  activities as
              provided  for in WAG  173-201-100(2).

     (b)   Management  practices or regulatory orders described
          in WAG 173-201-035(5) hereof, shall be subject to
          modification by the department  of  ecology whenever
          it appears  to  the department that  the discharge
          violates receiving water  standards.  Modification
          of management  practices or regulatory orders, as
          provided herein,  shall be subject  to  review in the
          same manner as the originally issued  management
          practices or regulatory orders.

(7)   The  total  area  and/or volume  of  a  receiving water  assigned
     to a dilution  zone  shall  be as described  in a valid  dis-
     charge permit  as needed and be limited  to that which will:
                                            • •
     (a)   not cause  acute mortalities of  sport, food, or
          commercial fish and  shellfish species of established
          biological communities within populations or  impor-
          tant  species to a degree which  damages the ecosystem.

     (b)   not diminish'aesthetic'values'or other beneficial
          uses  disproportionately.

(8)   The  antidegradation policy of the  state of Washington,
     as generally guided by chapter 90.48 RCW, Water Pollution
     Control Act, and chapter  90.54 RCW,  Water Resources  Act
     of 1971, is stated as follows:

     (a)   It shall  be the intent of this  policy that existing
          beneficial uses shall be maintained  and  protected
          and no further degradation  which would interfere
          with  or. become injurious to existing beneficial
          uses  will be allowed.

     (b)   No degradation will  be allowed  of  waters lying  in
          national  parks, national recreation  areas, national
          wildlife  refuges, national  scenic  rivers, and other
          areas of  national ecological  importance.

     (c)   Whenever  receiving waters of  a  classified area  are
          of a  higher quality  than the  criteria assigned  for
          said  area, the existing  water quality shall be
          protected and waste  and  other materials  and
          substances shall not be  allowed to enter such
          waters which will reduce the existing quality
          thereof,  except,  in  those  instances  where:

           (i)  It is clear that overriding considerations
               of the public  interest will be  served, and

          (ii)  All  wastes and  other materials  and  substances
               proposed for discharge into the said waters
               shall be provided with all known,  available,
               and  reasonable  methods of treatment before
               discharge.

     (d)   Whenever  the natural conditions of said  waters are
          of a lower quality  than the criteria assigned,  the
          natural conditions  shall constitute the  water
          quality criteria.

          The criteria established in WAC 173-201-045 may be
          modified for a specific  water body on a short-term
          basis when necessary to accommodate essential
          activities, respond to emergencies,  or to otherwise
                            -4-

          shall  be issued in  writing  by the director or his
          designee subject to such terms and conditions as
          he  may prescribe.

     (£)   In  no  case/  will any degradation  of water quality
          be  allowed if  this  degradation interferes with or
          becomes injurious to existing water uses  and
          causes long-term and irreparable  harm to  the
          environment.

     (g)   It  shall be  the policy  of the state of Washington
          that no waste  discharge permit be issued  which
          will violate established water quality criteria
          for the said waters,  except,  as provided  for under
          WAG 173-201-035(8) (e) .

(9)   Due  consideration will be given  to the precision and
     accuracy of the sampling and analytical methods used/
     as well  as  existing conditions at  the  time/ in the
     application of the  criteria.

(10)  The  analytical testing methods for these criteria shall
     be in accordance  with the most recent  editions of
     "Standard'Methods for the Examination  of Water and
     Wastewater," published by the American Public  Health
     Association, American Water  Works  Association/ and the
     Water Pollution Control  Federation/ and "Methods for
     Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes," published by
     EPA/ and other or superseding methods  published and/or
     approved by the department following consultation with
     adjacent states and concurrence  of the Environmental
     Protection  Agency.

(11)  Deleterious concentrations of radioactive materials for
     all  classes shall be as  determined by  the lowest
     practicable concentration attainable and in no case
     shall exceed:

     (a)   1/100  of the values listed  in WAC 402-24-220
          (Column 2, Table II, Appendix A/  Rules and Regu-
          lations for  Radiation Protection); or,

     (b)   The United States Environmental Protection Agency
          Drinking Water Regulations  for radionuclides, as
          published in the Federal Register of July 9, 1976,
          or  subsequent  revisions thereto.

(12)  Deleterious concentrations of toxic, or other  nonradio-
     active materials, shall  be determined  by the department
     in consideration  of the'Quality  Criteria for Water,"
     published by EPA  1976, and as revised, as the  authori-
     tative source for criteria and/or  other relevant infor-
     mation,  if  justified.

     (i)  Fecal Coliform Organisms:   (Marine water)  shall not
         exceed a median value  of  200  organisms/100 ml,
         with  not more  than  10  percent of samples exceeding
         400 organisms/100 ml.

    (ii)* Dissolved  Oxygen.

         Marine water - Dissolved  oxygen shall exceed 4.0
         mg/1  or 50 percent  saturation, whichever is greater,
         except when the natural phenomenon of upwelling
         occurs, natural dissolved oxygen levels can be
         degraded by up to 0.2  mg/1 by man-caused activities.

   (iii)  Total'dissolved gas -  the concentration of total
         dissolved  gas  shall not exceed 110 percent satura-
         tion  at any point of sample collection.

    (iv)  Temperature -  water temperatures shall not exceed
         24.0° Celsius  (freshwater) or 22.0° Celsius (marine
         water) due to  human activities.  Temperature
         increases  shall not, at any time, exceed t * 39/(T+ll)
          (freshwater) or t » 20/(T+2)   (marine water).

         When  natural conditions exceed 24.0° Celsius
          (freshwater) and 22.0° Celsius  (marine water), no
          temperature increase will be allowed which will
         raise the  receiving water temperature by greater
         than  0.3°  Celsius.

         For purposes  hereof, "t"  represents the permissive
          temperature change  across the dilution zone; and "T"
          represents the highest existing temperature in this
         water classification outside of any dilution zone.

     (v)   pH shall be within  the range of 6.5 to  9.0 (fresh-
          water) or 6.5  to 9.0  (marine water) with a man-
          caused variation within a range of less than 0.5
          units.

              in  turbidity when the  background turbidity  is
              more  than  50 NTU.

        (vii)  Toxic,  radioactive,  or deleterious 'material con-
              centrations  shall be below  those which  adversely
              affect  public health during characteristic  uses,
              or  which may cause acute  or chronic  toxic con-
              ditions to the aquatic biota,  or which  may
              adversely  affect characteristic  water uses.

       (viii)  Aesthetic  values shall not  be  interfered with by
              the presence of  obnoxious wastes,  slimes, aquatic
              growths, or  materials  which will taint  the  flesh
            . of  edible  species.
