    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.

(1) Use classifications utilized by the State of Alabama are as follows: Outstanding Alabama Water ................... OAW Public Water Supply ......................... PWS Swimming and Other Whole Body Shellfish Harvesting ........................ SH Fish and Wildlife ........................... F&W Limited Warmwater Fishery ................... LWF Agricultural and Industrial Water Supply ................................ A&I (2) Use classifications apply water quality criteria adopted for particular uses based on existing utilization, uses reasonably expected in the future, and those uses not now possible because of correctable pollution but which could be made if the effects of pollution were controlled or eliminated. Of necessity, the assignment of use classifications must take into consideration the physical capability of waters to meet certain uses. (3) Those use classifications presently included in the standards are reviewed informally by the Department's staff as the need arises, and the entire standards package, to include the use classifications, receives a formal review at least once every three years. Efforts currently underway through local 201 planning projects will provide additional technical data on certain waterbodies in the State, information on treatment alternatives, and applicability of various management techniques, which, when available, will hopefully lead to new decisions regarding use classifications.

  • Rights of Way Endangered Species Survey for the Northeast Region of Georgia
    RIGHTS OF WAY ENDANGERED SPECIES SURVEY FOR THE NORTHEAST REGION OF GEORGIA. The Northeast Region ofGeorgia includes 24 counties: Banks, Barrows, Clarke, Dawson, Elbert, Fannin, Forsyth, Franklin, Greene, Habersham, Hart, Hall, Jackson, Lumpkin, Madison, Morgan, Oconee, Oglethorpe, Rabun, Stephens, Towns, Union, Walton and White. Based on The Georgia Natural Heritage Inventory records, the following plants and plant community locations were searched for on Georgia Power Company rights ofways: Georgia aster - Aster georgianus Dwarfstonecrop - Sedum pusillum Indian olive - Nestronia umbellulua Silky bindweed - Calystegia catesbiana ssp. sericata Smooth purple coneflower - Echinacea laevigata (Federal Endangered) Ginseng - Panax quinquefolius Pipewort - Eriocaulon koemickianum American Milkwort - Pilularia Americana Granite outcrop (shrub, bare rock, lichen) communities There are three maintenance concerns. Two are minor concerns in Walton county with granite outcrops communities. (See Walton county summary) and one in Stephens county with smooth purnle coneflower (See Stephens county summary). Discussion and recommendations: A few ofthe Northeast Region counties are located in the mountains and foothill region ofGeorgia, but most are in the Piedmont. Much of the Georgia mountain region is owned and managed by the United States Forest Service. Georgia Power has large holdings in this area as well and has been involved with protected species (persistent trillium Trillium persistents and the green salamander aneides aeneus) on company lands at Tallulah Gorge, but these species locations are not close to Georgia Power rights ofways so there are no concerns for right ofway maintenance. The majority oflocations in this region, are within the Piedmont province. Due to a long history ofearly European use (and misuse) for settlement, agriculture and logging, the original Piedmont plant communities ofGeorgia have been altered drastically over the past 2 centuries.
