INTRODUCTION

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

Standards,  a nationwide strategy for surface water quality management, contain
three  major  elements:  the use (recreation, drinking water, fish and wildlife
propagation,  industrial,  or  agricultural) to be made of the navigable water;
criteria  to  protect  these  uses; and an antidegradation statement to protect
existing high quality waters, from degradation by the addition of pollutants.
Guidance  for the development of standards by individual States is contained in
two  EPA documents entitled Water Quality Standards Handbook (1983) and Quality
Criteria for Water (1986).

This  digest  summarizes  eight  elements  which  are usually incorporated into
State  Water Quality Standards.  These are: barium, beryllium, boron, chlorine,
manganese,  nickel, selenium and silver.  The presence of any of these elements
    water is not unusual because of their wide industrial application.  Many of
         Lements  also  occur  in  natural  waters  as a result of leaching from
mineral  deposits  and  various mining operations.  Toxic effects attributed to
these  elements  «ere as varied as the uses to which they are applied.  Some are
even  essential nutrients in very minute concentrations.  Nevertheless, EPA has
succeeded  in  demonstrating water associated environmental problems with these
elements.

The 1986 Quality Criteria for Water recommends the following:

Since  water  quality  standards  are  revised  from  time  to  time, following
procedures  set forth in the Clean Vater Act, individual entries in this digest
may  be  superseded.    This digest will be updated periodically.  Because this
publication  is  intended  for use only as a general information reference,  the
reader  needs  to  refer  to  the  current  approved water quality standards  to
obtain  the latest information for special purposes and applications. These  can
be  obtained  from  the  State  water  pollution  control  agencies  or the  EPA
Regional Offices.

                        Footnotes:
                        (1)   Metals   for  aquatic  life  use  are  stated  as
                        dissolved unless otherwise specified.

                        (2)  Metals  for  agriculture  and  domestic  uses  are
                        stated as total recoverable unless otherwise specified.

                        (3)  Hardness  values  to  be  used in equations are in
                        mg/1  as  calcium  carbonate.  The hardness values used
                        in  calculating  the  appropriate metal standard should
                        be  based  on the lower 95 per cent confidence limit of
                        the  mean  hardness  value  at  the  periodic  low flow
                        criteria  as  determined  from a regression analysis of
                        site-specific  data.   where insufficient site-specific
                        data  exists  to  define the mean hardness value at the
                        periodic  low  flow  criteria,  representative regional
                        data  shall be used to perform the regression analysis.
                        where  a  regression  analysis  is  not  appropriate, a
                        site-specific  method should be used.  In calculating a
                        hardness  value,  regression  analyses  should  not  be
                        extrapolated past the point that data exist.

                        (4)  Both  acute  and chronic numbers adopted as stream
                        standards  are levels not to be exceeded more than once
                        every three years on the average.
