Summary

The gist of this rule and the underlying reason for the rulemaking is to comply with the Water Quality Standards Triennial Review and includes the following updates: add, remove and/or modify certain definitions; update reasonable potential to allow the use of a fish tissues study to confirm the need for a WQBEL; update Assessment of Fish and Wildlife Propagation support to add fish tissue criteria as the preferred method for assessing waterbodies for selenium, with water column criteria being used if fish tissue is unavailable; and, adding Assessment of Secondary Body Contact Recreation support to add criteria values for assessment.
