    Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015

    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. July 22, 2021 Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015 Effective March 17, 2021 The federal Clean Water Act (CWA) requires states and federally recognized Indian tribes to adopt water quality standards in order to "restore and maintain the chemical, physical, and biological integrity of the Nation's Waters" (CWA, 1988). The attached WQS document is in effect for Clean Water Act purposes with the exception of the following provisions. Navajo Nation’s previously approved criteria for these provisions remain the applicable for CWA purposes. The “Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2015” (NNSWQS 2015) made changes amendments to the “Navajo Nation Surface Water Quality Standards 2007” (NNSWQS 2007). For federal Clean Water Act permitting purposes, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) must approve these changes to the NNSWQS 2007 which are found in the NNSWQS 2015. The USEPA did not approve of three specific changes which were made to the NNSWQS 2007 and are in the NNSWQS 2015. (October 15, 2020 Letter from USEPA to Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency). The three specific changes which USEPA did not accept are: 1) Aquatic and Wildlife Habitat Designated Use - Suspended Solids Changes (NNSWQS 2015 Section 207.E) The suspended soils standard for aquatic and wildlife habitat designated use was changed to only apply to flowing (lotic) surface waters and not to non-flowing (lentic) surface waters.

    March 2019 Northeast Newsletter Clark County Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick 500 South Grand Central Parkway Box 551601 Las Vegas, NV. 89155-1601 702-455-3500 Dear Residents, Thank you so much for taking the time to be engaged in your community. We are looking forward to some projects breaking ground this spring or early summer. While I know it’s frustrating that government is slow, we run into challenges because we must abide by state law. Additionally, we have to compete with the private sector in getting both engineering and architectural companies to work on County projects. We love hearing from you, so feel free to reach out anytime. Marilyn 1 Commissioner Marilyn Kirkpatrick, Vice President of Southwest Gas Operations John Hester and Mayor Al Litman Marilyn has been working on bringing natural gas to Mesquite since 2012 when she served as an Assemblywoman in the Nevada Legislature and has continued working towards this goal after becoming a Clark County Commissioner in 2016. Marilyn was able to see all the effort come to fruition on February 13, 2019 as Danielle’s Chocolates & Popcorn became the first business to use natural gas in Mesquite. Marilyn knew bringing natural gas to Mesquite would serve as a benefit to attract diverse businesses to the area and would give homeowners more options. 2 A hero can be defined in many Resident of the Month ways, this month we’re happy to recognize Luke Minogue for the bravery and selfless act of kindness he showed to a woman in distress. On June 8, 2018 Luke assisted in saving the life of a woman who was contemplating suicide while standing on a bridge over the I-15.
