PART 131—WATER QUALITY STANDARDS

§ 131.1       Scope.

This part describes the requirements and procedures for developing, reviewing, revising, and
approving water quality standards by the States as authorized by section 303(c) of the Clean
Water Act. Additional specific procedures for developing, reviewing, revising, and approving
water quality standards for Great Lakes States or Great Lakes Tribes (as defined in 40
CFR 132.2) to conform to section 118 of the Clean Water Act and 40 CFR part 132, are provided
in 40 CFR part 132.
§ 131.2       Purpose.

A water quality standard defines the water quality goals of a water body, or portion thereof, by
designating the use or uses to be made of the water and by setting criteria that protect the
designated uses. States adopt water quality standards to protect public health or welfare, enhance
the quality of water and serve the purposes of the Clean Water Act (the Act). "Serve the purposes
of the Act"  (as defined in sections  101(a)(2) and 303(c) of the Act) means that water quality
standards should, wherever attainable, provide water quality for the protection and propagation
offish, shellfish and wildlife and for recreation in and on the water and take into consideration
their use and value of public water supplies, propagation offish,  shellfish, and wildlife,
recreation in and on the water, and agricultural, industrial, and other purposes including
navigation.

Such standards serve the dual purposes of establishing the water  quality goals for a specific
water body  and serve as the regulatory basis for the establishment of water-quality-based
treatment controls and strategies beyond the technology-based levels of treatment required by
sections 301(b) and 306 of the Act.

                              40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

(a) The Act means the Clean Water Act (Pub. L. 92-500, as amended (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.J).

(b) Criteria are elements of State water quality standards, expressed as constituent
concentrations, levels, or narrative statements, representing a quality of water that supports a
particular use. When criteria are met, water quality will generally protect the designated use.

(c) Section 304(a) criteria are developed by EPA under authority of section 304(a) of the Act
based on the latest scientific information on the relationship that the effect of a constituent
concentration has on particular aquatic species and/or human health. This information is issued
periodically to the States as guidance for use in developing criteria.

(d) Toxic pollutants are those pollutants listed by the Administrator under section 307(a) of the
Act.

(e) Existing uses are those uses actually attained in the water body on or after November 28,
1975, whether or not they are included in the water quality standards.

(f) Designated uses are those uses specified in water quality standards for each water body or
segment whether or not they are being attained.

(g) Use attainability analysis is a structured scientific assessment of the factors affecting the
attainment of the use which may include physical, chemical, biological, and economic factors as
described in § 131.10(g).
(h) Water quality limited segment means any segment where it is known that water quality does
not meet applicable water quality standards, and/or is not expected to meet applicable water
quality standards, even after the application of the technology-based effluent limitations required
by sections 301(b) and 306 of the Act.

(i) Water quality standards are provisions of State or Federal law which consist of a designated
use or uses for the waters of the United States and water quality criteria for such waters based
upon such uses. Water quality standards are to protect the public health or welfare, enhance the
quality of water and serve the purposes of the Act.

(j) States include: The 50 States, the District of Columbia, Guam, the Commonwealth of Puerto
Rico, Virgin Islands, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and
Indian Tribes that EPA determines to be eligible for purposes of water quality standards
program.

(k) Federal Indian Reservation, Indian Reservation,  or Reservation means all land within the
limits of any Indian reservation under the jurisdiction of the United States Government,
notwithstanding the issuance of any patent, and including rights-of-way running through the
reservation."

(1) Indian Tribe or Tribe means any Indian Tribe, band, group, or community recognized by the
Secretary of the Interior and exercising governmental authority over a Federal Indian reservation.
(m) Highest attainable use is the modified aquatic life, wildlife,  or recreation use that is both
closest to the uses specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act and attainable, based on the

evaluation of the factor(s) in § 131.10(g) that preclude(s) attainment of the use and any other
information or analyses that were used to evaluate attainability. There is no required highest
attainable use where the State demonstrates the relevant use specified in section 101(a)(2) of the
Act and sub-categories of such a use are not attainable.

(n) Practicable, in the context of § 131.12(a)(2)(ii), means technologically possible, able to be
put into practice, and economically viable.

(o) A water quality standards variance (WQS variance) is a time-limited designated use and
criterion for a specific pollutant(s)  or water quality parameter(s) that reflect the highest attainable
condition during the term of the WQS variance.

(p) Pollutant Minimization Program, in the context of § 131.14, is a structured  set of activities to
improve processes and pollutant controls that will prevent and reduce pollutant loadings.

(q) Non-10 l(a)(2) use is  any use unrelated to the protection and propagation offish, shellfish,
wildlife or recreation in or on the water.
§ 131.4       State authority.

(a) States (as defined in § 131.3) are responsible for reviewing, establishing, and revising water
quality standards. As recognized by section 510 of the Clean Water Act, States may develop
water quality standards more stringent than required by this regulation. Consistent with section
101(g) and 518(a) of the Clean Water Act, water quality standards shall not be construed to
supersede or abrogate rights to quantities of water.

(b) States (as defined in § 131.3) may issue certifications pursuant to the requirements of Clean
Water Act section 401. Revisions adopted by States shall be applicable for use in issuing State
certifications consistent with the provisions of § 131.21(c).

(c) Where EPA determines  that a Tribe is eligible to the same extent as a State for purposes of
water quality standards, the Tribe likewise is eligible to the  same extent as a State for purposes of
certifications conducted under Clean Water Act section 401.
§ 131.5       EPA authority.

(a) Under section 303(c) of the Act, EPA is to review and to approve or disapprove State-
adopted water quality standards.  The review involves a determination of:

   (1) Whether the State has adopted designated water uses that are consistent with the
       requirements of the Clean Water Act;

   (2) Whether the State has adopted criteria that protect the designated water uses based on
       sound scientific rationale consistent with § 131.11;

                              40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

    (3) Whether the State has adopted an antidegradation policy that is consistent with § 131.12,
    and whether any State adopted antidegradation implementation methods are consistent with §
    131.12:

    (4) Whether any State adopted WQS variance is consistent with § 131.14;

    (5) Whether any State adopted provision authorizing the use of schedules of compliance for
    water quality-based effluent limits inNPDES permits is consistent with § 131.15;


    (6)Whether the State has followed applicable legal procedures for revising or adopting
    standards;

    (7) Whether the State standards which do not include the uses specified in section 101(a)(2)
    of the Act are based upon appropriate technical and scientific data and analyses, and

    (8) Whether the State submission meets the requirements included in § 131.6 of this part and,
    for Great Lakes States or Great Lakes Tribes (as defined in 40 CFR 132.2) to conform to
    section 118 of the Act, the requirements of 40 CFR part 132.

(b) If EPA determines that the State's or Tribe's water quality standards are consistent with the
factors listed in paragraphs (a)(l) through (a)(8) of this section, EPA approves the standards.
EPA must disapprove the State's or Tribe's water quality standards and promulgate Federal
standards under section 303(c)(4), and for Great Lakes States or Great Lakes Tribes under
section 118(c)(2)(C) of the Act, if State or Tribal adopted standards are not consistent with the
factors listed in paragraphs (a)(l) through (a)® of this section. EPA may also promulgate a new
or revised standard when necessary to meet the requirements of the Act.

(c) Section 401 of the Clean Water Act authorizes EPA to issue certifications pursuant to the
requirements of section 401 in any case where a State or interstate agency has no authority for
issuing such certifications.

§ 131.6       Minimum requirements for water quality standards submission.

The following elements must be included in each State's water quality standards submitted to
EPA for review:

that other interested individuals or groups have notice of this action. Such efforts shall include
but not be limited to the following:
   (1) Written notice to responsible Tribal and State Agencies, and other affected Federal
   agencies,

   (2) Notice to the specific individual or entity that is alleging that an unreasonable
   consequence is resulting from differing standards having been adopted on a common body of
   water,

   (3) Public notice in local newspapers, radio, and television, as appropriate,

   (4) Publication in trade journal newsletters, and

   (5) Other means as appropriate.

(e) If in accordance with applicable State and Tribal law an Indian Tribe and State have entered
into an agreement that resolves the dispute or establishes a mechanism for resolving a dispute,
EPA shall defer to this agreement where it is consistent with the Clean Water Act and where it
has been approved by EPA.

(f) EPA dispute resolution actions shall be consistent with one or a combination of the following
options:
   (1) Mediation. The Regional Administrator may appoint a mediator to mediate the dispute.
   Mediators shall be EPA employees, employees from other Federal agencies, or other individuals
   with appropriate qualifications.
       (i) Where the State and Tribe agree to participate in the dispute resolution process,
       mediation with the intent to establish Tribal-State agreements, consistent with Clean
       Water Act section 518(d), shall normally be pursued as a first effort.

       (ii) Mediators shall act as neutral facilitators whose function is to encourage
       communication and negotiation between all parties to the dispute.

       (iii) Mediators may establish advisory panels, to consist in part of representatives from

    standards program, have a basic understanding of the political and economic interests of
    Tribes and States involved, and are expected to fulfill the duties fairly and impartially.

       (i) The arbitrator or arbitration panel shall conduct one or more private or public meetings
       with the parties and actively solicit information pertaining to the effects of differing water
       quality permit requirements on upstream and downstream dischargers, comparative risks
       to public health and the environment, economic impacts, present and historical water
       uses, the quality of the waters subject to such standards, and other factors relevant to the
       dispute, such as whether proposed water quality criteria are more stringent than necessary
       to support designated uses, more stringent than natural background water quality or
       whether designated uses are reasonable given natural background water quality.

       (ii) Following consideration of relevant factors as defined in paragraph (f)(2)(i) of this
       section, the arbitrator or arbitration panel shall have the authority and responsibility to
       provide all parties and the Regional Administrator with a written recommendation for
       resolution of the dispute. Arbitration panel recommendations shall, in general, be reached
       by majority vote. However, where the parties agree to binding arbitration, or where
       required by the Regional Administrator, recommendations of such arbitration panels may
       be unanimous decisions. Where binding or non-binding arbitration panels cannot reach a
       unanimous recommendation after a reasonable period of time, the Regional
       Administrator may direct the panel to issue a non-binding decision by majority vote.

       (iii) The arbitrator or arbitration panel members may consult with EPA's Office of
       General Counsel on legal issues, but otherwise shall have no exparte communications
       pertaining to the dispute. Federal employees who are arbitrators or arbitration panel
       members shall be neutral and  shall  not be predisposed for or against the position of any
       disputing party based on any Federal Trust responsibilities which their employers may
       have with respect to the Tribe. In addition, arbitrators or arbitration panel members who
       are Federal employees shall act independently from the normal hierarchy within their
       agency.

       (iv) The parties are not obligated to abide by the arbitrator's or arbitration panel's
       recommendation unless they voluntarily entered into a binding agreement to do so.

       (v) If a party to the dispute believes that the arbitrator or arbitration panel has
       recommended an action  contrary to or inconsistent with the Clean Water Act, the party
       may appeal the arbitrator's recommendation to the Regional  Administrator. The request
       for appeal must be in writing and must include a description of the statutory basis for
       altering the arbitrator's recommendation.

       (vi) The procedure and schedule  for arbitration of individual disputes shall be determined
       by the arbitrator or arbitration panel in consultation with parties.

       (vii) If formal public hearings are held in connection with the actions taken under this
       paragraph, Agency requirements at 40 CFR 25.5 shall be followed.

    (3) Dispute resolution default procedure. Where one or more parties (as defined in
    paragraph (g) of this section) refuse to participate in either the mediation or arbitration
    dispute resolution processes, the Regional Administrator may appoint a single official or
    panel to review available information pertaining to the dispute and to issue a written
    recommendation for resolving the dispute. Review officials shall be EPA employees,
    employees from other Federal agencies, or other individuals with appropriate qualifications.
    Review panels shall include appropriate members to be selected by the Regional
    Administrator in  consultation with the participating parties.  Recommendations of such
    review officials or panels shall, to the extent possible given  the lack of participation by one
    or more parties, be reached in a manner identical to that for  arbitration of disputes specified
    in paragraphs (f)(2)(i) through (f)(2)(vii) of this section.

(g) Definitions. For the purposes of this section:

    (1) Dispute Resolution Mechanism means the EPA mechanism established pursuant to the
    requirements of Clean Water Act section 518(e) for resolving unreasonable consequences

       the Tribe will acquire additional administrative and technical  expertise. The plan must
       address how the Tribe will obtain the funds to acquire the administrative  and technical
       expertise.

    (5) Additional documentation required by the Regional Administrator which, in the judgment
    of the Regional Administrator,  is necessary to support a Tribal application.

    (6) Where the Tribe has previously qualified for eligibility or "treatment as a state" under a
    Clean Water Act or Safe Drinking Water Act program, the Tribe  need only provide the
    required information which has not been  submitted in a previous  application.

(c) Procedure for processing an Indian Tribe's application.

    (1) The Regional Administrator shall process an application of an Indian Tribe submitted
    pursuant to § 131.8(b) in a timely manner. He shall promptly notify the Indian Tribe of
    receipt of the application.

    (2) Within 30 days after receipt of the Indian Tribe's application the Regional Administrator
    shall provide appropriate notice. Notice shall:

       (i) Include information on the substance and basis of the Tribe's assertion of authority to
       regulate the quality of reservation waters; and

       (ii) Be provided to all appropriate governmental entities.

    (3) The Regional Administrator shall provide 30 days for comments to be submitted on the
    Tribal application. Comments shall be  limited to the Tribe's assertion of authority.

    (4) If a Tribe's asserted authority is subject to a competing or conflicting claim, the Regional
    Administrator, after due consideration, and in consideration of other comments received,
    shall determine whether the Tribe has adequately demonstrated that it meets the requirements
    of§131.8(a)(3).

    (5) Where the Regional Administrator  determines that a Tribe meets the requirements of this
    section, he shall promptly provide  written notification to the Indian Tribe that the Tribe is
    authorized to administer the Water Quality Standards program.

§ 131.10      Designation of uses.

(a) Each State must specify appropriate water uses to be achieved and protected. The
classification of the waters of the State must take into consideration the use and value of water
for public water supplies, protection and propagation offish, shellfish and wildlife, recreation in
and on the water, agricultural, industrial, and other purposes including navigation. If adopting
new or revised designated uses other than the uses specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act or
removing designated uses. States must submit documentation justifying how their consideration
of the use and value of water for those uses listed in this paragraph appropriately supports the
State's action. A use attainability analysis may be used to satisfy this requirement. In no case
shall a State adopt waste transport or waste assimilation as a designated use for any waters of the
United States.

(b) In designating uses of a water body and the appropriate criteria for those uses,  the State shall
take into consideration the water quality standards of downstream waters and shall ensure that its
water quality standards provide for the attainment and maintenance of the water quality
standards of downstream waters.

(c) States may adopt sub-categories of a use and set the appropriate criteria to reflect varying
needs of such sub-categories of uses, for instance, to differentiate between cold water and warm
water fisheries.

(d) At a minimum, uses are deemed attainable if they can be achieved by the imposition of
effluent limits required under sections 301(b) and 306 of the Act and cost-effective and
reasonable best management practices for nonpoint source control.

(e) [Removed and Reserved]

(f) States may adopt seasonal uses as an alternative to reclassifying a water body or segment
thereof to uses requiring less stringent water quality criteria. If seasonal uses are adopted, water
quality criteria should be adjusted to reflect the seasonal uses, however, such criteria shall not
preclude the attainment and maintenance of a more protective use in another season.

(g) States may designate a use, or remove a use that is not an existing use, if the State conducts a
use attainability analysis as specified in § 131.10(j) that demonstrates attaining the use is not
feasible because of one of the six factors in this paragraph. If a State adopts a new or revised
water quality standard based on a required use attainability analysis, the State shall also adopt the
highest attainable use, as defined in § 131.3(m).

   (1) Naturally occurring pollutant concentrations prevent the attainment of the use; or

   (2) Natural, ephemeral, intermittent or low flow conditions or water levels prevent the
   attainment of the use, unless these conditions may be compensated for by the discharge of
   sufficient volume of effluent discharges without violating State water conservation
   requirements to enable uses to be met; or

                              40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

    (3) Human caused conditions or sources of pollution prevent the attainment of the use and
    cannot be remedied or would cause more environmental damage to correct than to leave in
    place; or

    (4) Dams, diversions or other types of hydrologic modifications preclude the attainment of
    the use, and it is not feasible to restore the water body to its original condition or to operate
    such modification in a way that would result in the attainment of the use; or

    (5) Physical conditions related to the natural features of the water body, such as the lack of a
    proper substrate, cover, flow, depth, pools, riffles, and the like, unrelated to water quality,
    preclude attainment of aquatic life protection uses; or

    (6) Controls more stringent than those required by sections  301(b) and 306 of the Act would
    result in substantial and widespread economic and social impact.

(h) States may not remove designated uses if:

    (1) They are existing uses, as defined in § 131.3, unless a use requiring more stringent
    criteria is added; or

    (2) Such uses will be attained by implementing effluent limits required under sections 301(b)
    and 306 of the  Act and by implementing cost-effective and  reasonable best management
    practices for nonpoint  source control.

(i) Where existing  water quality standards specify designated uses less than those which are
presently being attained, the State shall revise its standards to reflect the uses actually being
attained.
(j) A State must conduct a use attainability analysis as described in  § 131.3(g), and § 131.10(g),
whenever:

    (1) The State designates for the first time, or has previously designated for a water body, uses
       that do not  include the uses specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act, or

    (2) The State wishes to remove a designated use that is specified in section  101(a)(2) of the
       Act, to remove a sub-category  of such a use, or to  designate a sub-category of such a use
       that requires criteria less stringent than previously  applicable.

(k) A State is not required to conduct a use attainability analysis whenever:

    (1) The State designates for the first time, or has previously designated for a water body, uses
       that include the uses  specified in  section 101(a)(2) of the Act, or

    (2) The State designates a sub-category of a use specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act that
       requires criteria at  least as stringent as previously applicable, or

                              40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

    (3) The State wishes to remove or revise a designated use that is a non-101(a)(2) use. In this
       instance, as required by § 131.10(a), the State must submit documentation justifying how
       its consideration of the use and value of water for those uses listed in § 131.10(a)
       appropriately supports the State's action, which may be satisfied through a use
       attainability analysis.


§ 131.11      Criteria.

(a) Inclusion of pollutants: (1) States must adopt those water quality criteria that protect the
designated use. Such criteria must be based on sound scientific rationale and must contain
sufficient parameters or constituents to protect the designated use. For waters with multiple use
designations, the criteria shall support the most sensitive use.


    (2) Toxic pollutants. ,5Yates must review water quality data and information on discharges to
       identify specific water bodies where toxic pollutants may be adversely affecting water
       quality or the attainment of the designated water use or where the levels of toxic
       pollutants are at a level to warrant concern and  must adopt criteria for such toxic
       pollutants applicable to the water body sufficient to protect the designated use. Where a
       State adopts narrative criteria for toxic pollutants to protect designated uses, the State
       must provide information identifying the method by which the State intends to regulate
       point source discharges of toxic pollutants on water quality limited segments based on
       such narrative criteria. Such information may be included as part of the standards or may
       be included in documents generated by the State in response to the Water Quality
       Planning and Management Regulations (40 CFR part 130).

(b) Form of criteria: In establishing criteria, States should:
    (1) Establish numerical values based on:
       (i) 304(a) Guidance; or
       (ii) 304(a) Guidance modified to reflect site-specific conditions; or
       (iii) Other scientifically defensible methods;
    (2) Establish narrative criteria or criteria based upon biomonitoring methods where numerical
    criteria cannot be established or to supplement numerical criteria.
§ 131.12      Antidegradation policy and implementation methods.

(a) The State shall develop and adopt a statewide antidegradation policy. The antidegradation
policy shall, at a minimum, be consistent with the following:

   (1) Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the
       existing uses shall be maintained and protected.

   (2) Where the quality of the waters exceeds levels necessary to support the protection and
       propagation offish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water, that quality
       shall be maintained and protected unless the State finds, after full satisfaction of the
       intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the State's

       continuing planning process, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to
       accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters
       are located. In allowing such degradation or lower water quality, the State shall assure
       water quality adequate to protect existing uses fully. Further, the State shall assure that
       there shall be achieved the highest statutory and regulatory requirements for all new and
       existing point sources and all cost-effective and reasonable best management practices
       for nonpoint source control.

       (i) The State may identify waters for the protections describe in (a)(2) of this section on a
       parameter-by-parameter basis or on a water body-by-water body basis. Where the State
       identifies waters for antidegradation protection on a water body-by-water body basis, the
       State shall provide an opportunity for public involvement in any decisions about whether
       the protections described in (a)(2) of this section will be afforded to a water body, and the
       factors considered when making those decisions. Further, the State shall not exclude a
       water body from the protections described in (a)(2) of this section solely because water
       quality does not exceed levels necessary to support all of the uses specified in section
       101(a)(2)oftheAct.

       (ii) Before allowing any lowering of high water quality, pursuant to (a)(2) of this section,
       the State shall find, after an analysis of alternatives, that such a lowering is necessary to
       accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters
       are located. The analysis of alternatives shall evaluate a range of practicable alternatives
       that would prevent or lessen the degradation associated with the proposed activity. When
       the analysis of alternatives identifies one or more practicable alternatives, the State shall
       only find that a  lowering is necessary if one such alternative is selected for
       implementation.

    (3) Where high quality waters constitute an outstanding National resource, such as waters of
    National and State parks and wildlife refuges and waters of exceptional recreational or
    ecological significance, that water quality shall be maintained and protected.

    (4) In those cases where potential water quality impairment associated with a thermal
    discharge is involved, the anti degradation policy and implementing method shall be
    consistent with section 316 of the Act.

(b) The State shall develop methods for implementing the antidegradation policy that are, at a
minimum, consistent with the State's policy and with paragraph (a) of this section. The State
shall provide an opportunity for public involvement during the development and any subsequent
revisions of the implementation methods, and shall make the methods available to the public.
§ 131.13      General policies.

States may, at their discretion, include in their State standards, policies generally affecting their
application and implementation, such as mixing zones, low flows and variances.  Such policies
are subject to EPA review and approval.

§ 131.14	Water quality standards variances.

States may adopt WQS variances, as defined in § 131.3(o). Such a WQS variance is subject to
the provisions of this section and public participation requirements at § 131.20(b). A WQS
variance is a water quality standard subject to EPA review and approval or disapproval.

(a) Applicability:

   (1) A WQS variance may be adopted for a permittee(s) or water bodv/waterbody segment(s),
       but only applies to the permittee(s) or water body/waterbody segment(s) specified in the
       WQS variance.

   (2) Where a State adopts a WQS variance, the State must retain, in its standards, the
       underlying designated use and criterion addressed by the WQS variance, unless the State
       adopts and EPA approves a revision to the underlying designated use and criterion
       consistent with § 131.10 and § 131.11. All other applicable standards not specifically
       addressed by the WQS variance remain applicable.

   (3) A WQS variance, once adopted by the State and approved by EPA, shall be the
       applicable standard for purposes of the Act under 40 CFR  131.21(d)-(e), for the
       following limited purposes. An approved WQS variance applies for the purposes of
       developing NPDES permit limits and requirements under 301(b)(l)(C), where
       appropriate, consistent with paragraph (a)(l) of this section. States and other certifying
       entities may also use an approved WQS variance when issuing certifications under
       section 401 of the Act.
   (4) A State may not adopt WQS variances if the designated use and criterion addressed by
       the WQS variance can be achieved by implementing technology-based effluent limits
       required under sections 30 Kb) and 306 of the Act.

(b) Requirements for Submission to EPA:

   (1) A WQS variance must include:

       (i) Identification of the pollutant(s) or water quality parameter(s), and the water
       body/waterbody segment(s) to which the WQS variance applies. Discharger(s)-specific
       WQS variances must also identify the permittee(s) subject to the WQS variance.

       (ii) The requirements that apply throughout the term of the WQS variance. The
       requirements shall represent the highest attainable  condition of the water body or
       waterbody segment applicable throughout the term of the WQS variance based on the
       documentation required in (b)(2) of this section. The requirements shall not result in any
       lowering of the currently attained ambient water quality, unless a WQS variance is
       necessary for restoration activities, consistent with paragraph (b)(2)(i)(A)(2) of this
       section. The State must specify the highest attainable condition of the water body or
       waterbody segment as a quantifiable expression that is one of the following:

          (A) For discharger(s)-specific WQS variances:

             (1) The highest attainable interim criterion, or

                                       Page 15 of 58

                              40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

              (2) The interim effluent condition that reflects the greatest pollutant reduction
                 achievable, or

              (3) If no additional feasible pollutant control technology can be identified, the
                 interim criterion or interim effluent condition that reflects the greatest
                 pollutant reduction achievable with the pollutant control technologies installed
                 at the time the State adopts the WQS variance, and the adoption and
                 implementation of a Pollutant Minimization Program.


          (B) For WQS variances applicable to a water body or waterbody segment:

              (1) The highest attainable interim use and interim criterion, or

              (2) If no additional feasible pollutant control technology can be identified, the
                 interim use and interim criterion that reflects the greatest pollutant reduction
                 achievable with the pollutant control technologies installed at the time the
                 State adopts the WQS variance, and the adoption and implementation of a
                 Pollutant Minimization Program.
       (iii) A statement providing that the requirements of the WQS variance are either the
       highest attainable condition identified at the time of the adoption of the WQS variance, or
       the highest attainable condition later identified during any reevaluation consistent with
       (b)(l)(v) of this section, whichever is more stringent.

       (iv) The term of the WQS variance, expressed as an interval of time from the date of EPA
       approval or a specific date. The term of the WQS variance must only be as long as
       necessary to achieve the highest attainable condition and consistent with the
       demonstration provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this section. The State may adopt a
       subsequent WQS variance consistent with this section.


       (v) For a WQS variance with a term greater than five years, a specified frequency to
       reevaluate the highest attainable condition using all existing and readily available
       information and a provision specifying how the State intends to obtain public input on the
       reevaluation.  Such reevaluations must occur no less frequently than every five years after
       EPA approval of the WQS variance and the results of such reevaluation must be
       submitted to EPA within 30 days of completion of the reevaluation.

       (vi) A provision that the WQS variance will no longer be the applicable water quality
       standard for purposes of the Act if the State does not conduct a reevaluation consistent
       with the frequency specified in the WQS variance or the results are not submitted to EPA
       as required by (b)(l)(v) of this section.


    (2) The supporting documentation must include:

       (i) Documentation demonstrating the need for a WQS variance.

          (A) For a WQS variance to a use specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act or a sub-
          category of such a use, the State must demonstrate that attaining the designated use
          and criterion is not feasible throughout the term of the WQS variance because:

             (1) One of the factors listed in § 131.10(g) is met, or

             (2) Actions necessary to facilitate lake, wetland, or stream restoration through
                 dam removal or other significant reconfiguration activities preclude
                 attainment of the designated use and criterion while the actions are being
                 implemented.


          (B) For a WQS variance to a non-101(a)(2) use, the State must submit documentation
          justifying how its consideration of the use and value of the water for those uses listed
          in § 131.10(a) appropriately supports the WQS variance and term. A demonstration
          consistent with (b)(2)(i)(A) of this section may be used to satisfy this requirement.


       (ii) Documentation demonstrating that the term of the WQS variance is only as long as
       necessary to achieve the highest attainable condition. Such documentation must justify
       the term of the WQS variance by describing the pollutant control activities to achieve the
       highest attainable condition, including those activities identified through a Pollutant
       Minimization Program, which serve as milestones for the WQS variance.


       (Hi) In addition to (i) and (ii) of this section, for a WQS variance that applies to a water
       body or waterbody segment:

          (A) Identification and documentation of any cost-effective and reasonable best
          management practices for nonpoint  source controls related to the pollutant(s) or water
          quality parameter(s) and water body or waterbody segment(s) specified in the WQS
          variance that could be implemented to make progress towards attaining the
          underlying designated use and criterion.  A State must provide public notice and
          comment for any such documentation.


          (B) Any subsequent WQS variance for a water body or waterbody segment must
          include documentation of whether and to what  extent best management practices for
          nonpoint source controls were implemented to  address the pollutant(s) or water
          quality parameter(s) subject to the WQS variance and the water quality progress
          achieved.
(c) Implementing WQS variances in NPDESpermits: A WQS variance serves as the applicable
   water quality standard for implementing NPDES permitting requirements pursuant to §
   122.44(d) for the term of the WQS variance. Any limitations and requirements necessary to
   implement the WQS variance shall be included as enforceable conditions of the NPDES
   permit for the permittee(s) subject to the WQS variance.

§ 131.15	Authorizing the use of schedules of compliance for water quality-based
effluent limits in NPDES permits.

If a State intends to authorize the use of schedules of compliance for water quality-based effluent
limits in NPDES permits, the State must adopt a permit compliance schedule authorizing
provision. Such authorizing provision is a water quality standard subject to EPA review and
approval under section 303 of the Act and must be consistent with sections 502(17) and
301(byi)(C)oftheAct.
§ 131.20      State review and revision of water quality standards.

(a) State review. The State shall from time to time, but at least once every 3 years, hold public
hearings for the purpose of reviewing applicable water quality standards adopted pursuant to §§
131.10—131.15 and Federally promulgated water quality standards and, as appropriate,
modifying and adopting standards. The State shall also re-examine any waterbody segment with
water quality standards that do not include the uses specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act
every 3  years to determine if any new information has become available. If such new information
indicates that the uses specified in section 101(a)(2) of the Act are attainable, the State shall
revise its standards accordingly. Procedures States establish for identifying and reviewing water
bodies for review should be incorporated into their Continuing Planning Process. In addition, if a
State does not adopt new or revised criteria for parameters for which EPA has published new or
updated CWA section 304(a) criteria recommendations, then the State shall provide an
explanation when it submits the results of its triennial review to the Regional Administrator
consistent with CWA section 303(c)(l) and the requirements of § 131.20(c).

(b) Public participation. The State shall hold one or more public hearings for the purpose of
reviewing water quality standards as well  as when revising water quality standards, in
accordance with provisions of State law and EPA's public participation regulation (40 CFR
part 25). The proposed water quality standards revision and supporting analyses shall be made
available to the public prior to the hearing.

(c) Submittal to EPA. The State shall submit the results of the review, any supporting analysis
for the use attainability analysis, the methodologies used for site-specific criteria development,
any general policies applicable to water quality standards and any revisions of the standards to
the Regional Administrator for review and approval, within 30 days of the final State action to
adopt and certify the revised standard, or if no revisions are made as a result of the review,
within 30 days of the completion of the review.
§ 131.21      EPA review and approval of water quality standards.

                             40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule
    (2) Notify the State within 90 days that the revisions are disapproved. Such notification of
    disapproval shall specify the changes needed to assure compliance with the requirements of
    the Act and this regulation, and shall explain why the State standard is not in compliance
    with such requirements. Any new or revised State standard must be accompanied by some
    type of supporting analysis.

(b) The Regional Administrator's approval or disapproval of a State water quality standard shall
be based on the requirements of the Act as described in §§ 131.5 and 131.6, and, with respect to
Great Lakes States or Tribes (as defined in 40 CFR 132.2), 40 CFR part 132.

(c) How do I determine which water quality standards are applicable for purposes of the
Act? You may determine which water quality standards are applicable water quality standards
for purposes of the Act from the following table:
          If—
     Then—
Unless or until—
In which case—
 (1) A State or authorized
 Tribe has adopted a
 water quality standard
 that is effective under
 State or Tribal law and
 has been submitted to
 EPA before May 30,
 2000 . .
 (2) A State or authorized
 Tribe adopts a water
 quality standard that
 goes into effect under
 State or Tribal law on
 or after May 30, 2000 .  .
    . . . the State or
      Tribe's water
 quality standard is        ... EPA has
     the applicable promulgated a more
      water quality      stringent water
       standard for  quality standard for
purposes of the Act   the State or Tribe
                     that is in effect. .
     . .  . once EPA
approves that water
 quality standard, it        ... EPA has
      becomes the promulgated a more
   applicable water      stringent water
quality standard for  quality standard for
purposes of the Act   the State or Tribe
                     that is in effect. .
                              ... the EPA-
                        promulgated water
                      quality standard is the
                    applicable water quality
                    standard for purposes of
                         the Act until EPA
                     withdraws the Federal
                     water quality standard.
                   . . . the EPA promulgated
                   water quality standard is
                       the applicable water
                        quality standard for
                   purposes of the Act until
                        EPA withdraws the
                      Federal water quality
                                 standard.
(d) When do I use the applicable water quality standards identified in paragraph (c)
above? Applicable water quality standards for purposes of the Act are the minimum standards
which must be used when the CWA and regulations implementing the CWA refer to water
quality standards, for example, in identifying impaired waters and calculating TMDLs under
section 303(d), developing NPDES permit limitations under section 301(b)(l)(C), evaluating
proposed discharges of dredged or fill material under section 404, and in issuing certifications
under section 401 of the Act.

                             40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

(e) For how long does an applicable water quality standard for purposes of the Act remain the
applicable water quality standard for purposes of the Act? A State or authorized Tribe's
applicable water quality standard for purposes of the Act remains the applicable standard until
EPA approves a change, deletion, or addition to that water quality standard, or until EPA
promulgates a more stringent water quality standard.

(f) How can I find out what the applicable standards are for purposes of the Act? In each
Regional office, EPA maintains a docket system for the States and authorized Tribes in that
Region, available to the public, identifying the applicable water quality standards for purposes of
the Act.

§ 131.22      EPA promulgation of water quality standards.

(a) If the State does not adopt the changes specified by the Regional Administrator within 90
days after notification of the Regional Administrator's disapproval, the Administrator shall
promptly propose and promulgate such standard.

(b) The Administrator may also propose and promulgate a regulation, applicable to one or more
navigable waters, setting forth a new or revised  standard upon determining such a standard is
necessary to meet the requirements of the Act. To constitute an Administrator's determination
that a new or revised standard is necessary to meet the requirements of the Act, such
determination must:

   (1) Be signed by the Administrator or his or her duly authorized delegate, and

   (2) Contain a statement that the document constitutes an Administrator's determination under
       section 303(c)(4)(B) of the Act.

(c) In promulgating water quality standards, the Administrator is subject to the same policies,
procedures, analyses, and public participation requirements established for States in these
regulations.

                             40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule

Bacteria: The fecal coliform geometric mean of a series of representative samples (at least five
samples) of the waters taken sequentially shall not exceed 200 colonies/100 ml, and not more
than 20 percent of the samples shall exceed 400 colonies/100 ml. The enterococci density in
terms of geometric mean of at least five representative samples taken sequentially shall not
exceed 35/100 ml. No single sample should exceed the upper confidence limit of 75% using 0.7
as the log standard deviation until sufficient site data exist to establish a site-specific log standard
deviation.
