  • Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards
    Presented below are water quality standards that are in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. EPA is posting these standards as a convenience to users and has made a reasonable effort to assure their accuracy. Additionally, EPA has made a reasonable effort to identify parts of the standards that are not approved, disapproved, or are otherwise not in effect for Clean Water Act purposes. Rule 391-3-6-.03. Water Use Classifications and Water Quality Standards ( 1) Purpose. The establishment of water quality standards. (2) W ate r Quality Enhancement: (a) The purposes and intent of the State in establishing Water Quality Standards are to provide enhancement of water quality and prevention of pollution; to protect the public health or welfare in accordance with the public interest for drinking water supplies, conservation of fish, wildlife and other beneficial aquatic life, and agricultural, industrial, recreational, and other reasonable and necessary uses and to maintain and improve the biological integrity of the waters of the State. ( b) The following paragraphs describe the three tiers of the State's waters. (i) Tier 1 - Existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. (ii) Tier 2 - Where the quality of the waters exceed levels necessary to support propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife and recreation in and on the water, that quality shall be maintained and protected unless the division finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the division'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.

    Common Name: RIVER REDHORSE Scientific Name: Moxostoma carinatum (Cope) Other Commonly Used Names: none Previously Used Scientific Names: Placopharynx carinatus Family: Catostomidae Rarity Ranks: G4/S2 State Legal Status: Rare Federal Legal Status: none Description: The river redhorse is a large, heavy-bodied sucker that can attain total lengths approaching 750 mm (30 in). The margin of the dorsal fin is straight to slightly concave and the upper lobe of the dorsal fin is pointed. The lips have deep longitudinal grooves (i.e., plicae). There are 12-14 dorsal fin rays, a complete lateral line with 42-44 scales (usually), and 6-9 large molariform teeth on the lower half of the pharyngeal arch. Body coloration of adults is brassy olive and the belly is white. The dorsal and caudal fins, particularly the distal margins of these fins, are bright red in adult males and females. Juveniles have a silvery body and a blotch saddle pattern across the back; juveniles may have red caudal fins, but not as intensely red as in adults. Breeding males develop medium to large tubercles on the snout, cheeks, head, anal rays and caudal rays, and may develop smaller tubercles elsewhere. During spawning, males develop a prominent dark lateral stripe, bordered above by a tan stripe, another dark stripe and a tan or pale dorsum; there is often a dark mask on the head. These spawning colors are ephemeral and will quickly vanish, especially if the fish is disturbed. Similar Species: The undescribed sicklefin redhorse (syntopic with the river redhorse only in Brasstown Creek, Towns Co.) also has brilliant red dorsal and caudal fins, but is easily distinguished by having a sickle-shaped (vs.
