    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.

  • TMDL Implementation Plans for Goat Rock Lake
    TMDL Implementation Plan for Nottely River, Downstream of Lake Nottely -- Dissolved Oxygen Introduction The portion of the Nottely River downstream of the dam for Nottely Lake, is located near Ivy Log in Union County, a few miles northwest of Blairsville, Georgia. The Nottely Lake dam is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). Reservoir water flows through the turbine generators in the dam to produce hydroelectric power. The water that for such use is taken from the lower (hypolimnion) zone of the Reservoir where the water is naturally lower in dissolved oxygen (D.O.). Plan for Implementation of the TMDL The TMDL for this and seven other low D.O. river segments below dams, was finalized in November, 2000. The designated use for the Nottely River downstream of the dam is for recreation. The applicable water quality standards there for D.O. are a concentration of 5 milligrams per liter (mg/l) as a daily average and a concentration of 4 mg/l as a minimum value. Attainment and maintenance of these two D.O. water quality standards are the goals of this Implementation Plan. The TMDL recommends that the appropriate federal and state agencies work together in developing an implementation strategy to provide higher oxygenated water from these dam releases. The TMDL adds that these strategies may include oxygenation or aeration of the water, redesigned spillways, or other measures, and that ongoing water quality monitoring is needed to monitor progress. The TVA has added compressors and blowers to add air to the water going through the turbines, when D.O.

    OVERVIEW OF RESERVOIR RELEASE IMPROVEMENTS AT 20 TVA DAMS By John M. Higgins,1 Member, ASCE, and W. Gary Brock2 ABSTRACT: In 1987, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) authorized a com- prehensive review of reservoir operating priorities that had been followed since 1933. The purpose was to ensure optimum operation of the reservoir system, rec- ognizing that needs, demands, and values change over time. The review resulted in a ®ve-year, $50 million program to improve the quantity and quality of releases from 20 dams in the Tennessee Valley. TVA worked with state and federal resource agencies to de®ne minimum ¯ow and dissolved oxygen targets for each tailwater. Facilities and operating procedures were designed and installed to meet the target conditions. This paper describes the facilities, operating procedures, and perfor- mance of the reservoir release improvements. Alternative approaches, monitoring requirements, operational problems, and costs are discussed. Results from four years of operation are presented. INTRODUCTION In 1996, the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) completed a ®ve-year, $50 million program to improve the quantity and quality of releases from 20 dams in the Tennessee Valley. Prior to the program, over 500 km of tailwaters were being adversely impacted by reservoir releases. Hydropower operations re- sulted in periods of zero ¯ow below some dams. Thermal reservoir strati®- cation resulted in the release of water low in dissolved oxygen (DO), affecting downstream water quality, aquatic habitat, recreation, and waste assimilation. To improve the releases, TVA worked with resource agencies and nongov- ernmental organizations to de®ne minimum ¯ow and dissolved oxygen tar- gets.
