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.

Geologic scoping meetings generate an evaluation of the adequacy of existing geologic maps for resource management. Scoping meetings also provide an opportunity to discuss park-specific geologic management issues, distinctive geologic features and processes, and potential monitoring and research needs. If possible, scoping meetings include a site visit with local experts. The Geologic Resources Division held a GRI scoping meeting for Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area on March 19, 2012, at the headquarters building in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Participants at the meeting included NPS staff from the national recreation area, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, and the Geologic Resources Division; and cooperators from the University of West Georgia, Georgia Environmental Protection Division, and Colorado State University (see table 2, p. 21). During the scoping meeting, Georgia Hybels (NPS Geologic Resources Division, GIS specialist) facilitated the group’s assessment of map coverage and needs, and Bruce Heise (NPS Geologic Resources Division, GRI program coordinator) led the discussion of geologic features, processes, and issues. Jim Kennedy (Georgia Environmental Protection Division, state geologist) provided a geologic overview of Georgia, with specific information about the Chattahoochee River area.

  • Effects of Internal Loading on Algal Biomass in Lake Allatoona, a Southeastern Piedmont Impoundment

    Effects of Internal Loading on Algal Biomass in Lake Allatoona, a Southeastern Piedmont Impoundment

    EFFECTS OF INTERNAL LOADING ON ALGAL BIOMASS IN LAKE ALLATOONA, A SOUTHEASTERN PIEDMONT IMPOUNDMENT by Elena Louise Ceballos (Under the direction of Todd C. Rasmussen) Abstract Cultural eutrophication of lakes is the accelerated nutrient enrichment resulting in detri- mental ecological effects such as algal blooms, lake anoxia and toxic metal release from sediments. Cultural eutrophication is a common occurrence in Piedmont impoundments in Georgia, as well as lakes and impoundments throughout the world. It often results in water unsafe for agricultural use, recreation and drinking. To reduce the cultural eutrophication of local Piedmont impoundments, recent regulatory controls for nutrients were established as part of the Clean Lakes program and court-ordered total maximum daily loads (TMDLs). These regulatory efforts focus on the reduction and minimization of point-source watershed nutrient inputs, primarily phosphorus, into lake sys- tems, as P is the limiting nutrient in Piedmont impoundments. Thus, reductions in phos- phorus loading are expected to improve lake water quality. However, in the Piedmont, as well as worldwide, many lakes continue to experience algal blooms and lake anoxia after sources of external loading are discontinued. The process of nutrient desorption from sediments, known as internal loading, has been identified to be a source of algal-available P, as well as other nutrients. The conditions under which internal loading takes place are region-specific as they vary based on local physical, chemical and biological conditions. The purpose of our research was to quantify changes in algal biomass in response to internal loading in Southeast Piedmont impoundments. The results from a mesocosm exper- iment, physical and chemical sediment analysis, and algal assays were used to characterize algal-availabile phosphorus in Southeastern Piedmont impoundments.
