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.
§ 131.3 Definitions.

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
Page 2 of 58
-------
July 2015 EPA-820-Z-15-002
40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule
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;

(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.

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

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

40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule
(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
that arise as a result of differing water quality standards that may be set by States and Indian
Tribes located on common bodies of water.
(2) Parties to a State-Tribal dispute include the State and the Tribe and may, at the discretion

40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule
§ 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
Page 11 of 58
-------
July 2015 EPA-820-Z-15-002
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
Page 12 of 58
-------
July 2015 EPA-820-Z-15-002
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
Page 13 of 58
-------
July 2015 EPA-820-Z-15-002
40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule
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
-------
July 2015 EPA-820-Z-15-002
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.
Page 16 of 58
-------
July 2015 EPA-820-Z-15-002
40 CFR Part 131 Showing Final Rule
(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.
(a) After the State submits its officially adopted revisions, the Regional Administrator shall
either:
(1) Notify the State within 60 days that the revisions are approved, or
Page 18 of 58
-------
July 2015
EPA-820-Z-15-002
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.
