The proposed Chapter 1 revisions (1) fulfill the federal requirements at 40 CFR § 131.20; (2) restructure and align requirements with state law and federal law, regulations, and guidance; (3) revise designated uses and remove the designated use classification system; and (4) provide minor updates to specific water quality criteria. The proposed Chapter 2 revisions (1) update references to the designated use classification system to reflect proposed revisions to Chapter 1; and (2) incorporate provisions related to fish toxicants, aquatic pesticides, and short-term sediment disturbances that the Water Quality Division proposes to move from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2.
