Northeast Region, FWQA.
SUBJECT: Massachusetts Water Quality Standards
The Secretary of the Interior approved the antidegradation statement of
Massachusetts on November 25, 1970. This statement reads as follows:
Antidegradatioa Statement
"Waters vhose existing quality is better than the estab-
lished standards as of the date on which such standards
become effective will be maintained at such high quality
unless it has been affirmatively demonstrated to the
State that a change is justifiable as a result of nec-
essary economic or social development and will not pre-
clude uses 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
vill be required to provide the highest and best prac-
ticable means of waste treatment to maintain high water
quality. In implementing this policy, the Secretary of
the Interior will be kept advised and will be provided
with such information as he will need to discharge his
responsibilities under the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act, as amended."
This should be added to the enforceable standards of the Commonwealth.
It is probable that other items will be submitted to the Administrator
for his action at an early date.

Dear Governor Sargent:
KOV 2 5 1970
I am pleased to inform you that I am now approving
Massachusetts' antidegradation statement as submitted
on September 18, 1970, by the Director, Division of
Water Pollution Control, Massachusetts Department of
Natural Resources, to the Regional Director, North-
east Region, Federal Water Quality Administration. The
antidegradation statement as approved is applicable ' .
under the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended,
to the interstate waters of Massachusetts.
On November 14, 1969, the Commissioner, Federal Water
Quality Administration, wrote to the Director requesting
reconsideration of certain of the Federally-approved
water quality standards of Massachusetts. You may be
assured that s-taff of the FWQA Regional Office will be
happy to continue cooperating with the Division of
Water Pollution Control in the development of these
necessary revisions for the protection and enhancement
of the water resources of Massachusetts.
Sincerely yours,
(sgd) Walter J. Hickel
Secretary of the Interior
Honorable Francis W. Sargent
Governor of Massachusetts

WATER QUALITY STANDARDS
Adopted by the Massachusetts Division of Water Pollution
Control on March 3, 1967, in accordance with the
Provisions of Section 27 CO of Chapter 21 of the General
Laws, and in accordance with the procedure required by
Chapter 30A of the General Laws, and after a public hearing

Standards of Water Quality
1. General - To achieve the objectives of the Massachusetts
Clean Water Act and to assure best use of the waters of the
Commonwealth, the following standards are adopted and shall be
applicable to all waters of the Commonwealth or to different segments
of the same waters. The Classes shall be assigned by the Division of
Water Pollution Control.
In the classification of waters due consideration
will be given to all factors involved including public health, public
enjoyment, propagation and protection of fish and wildlife, and
economic and social development. Classifications are not intended to
permit indiscriminate waste disposal or to allow minimum efforts of
waste treatment under any circumstance.
When an effluent is permitted to be discharged
to the receiving waters, cognizance shall be given both in time and
distance to allow for mixing of effluent and stream. Such distances
required for complete mixing shall not affect the water usage Class
adopted.
Recommendations on other waste parameters will
constitute a portion of the continuing effort of the Division as
improved standard methods are developed or revisions consistent with
the enhancement of the waters of the Commonwealth are justified.
Water quality parameters not specifically denoted
shall not exceed the recommended limits on the most sensitive and
governing water class use. In areas where fisheries are the governing
consideration and approved limits have not been established,
bio-assays shall be performed as required by the appropriate agencies.
