Cover Page Updated November 7, 2016 2016 Oklahoma Water Quality Standards Oklahoma’s Water Quality Standards (WQS) are found in the Oklahoma Administrative Code, Title 785, Chapter 45 (OAC 785:45). Note that EPA has not approved the Oklahoma WQS for those waters or portions of waters located in Indian Country, as defined in 18 U.S.C. § 1151. EPA has approved the following sections: These sections are effective for Clean Water Act (CWA) purposes. Introduction §1-1. Purpose §1-3. Adoption and enforceability of the standards §1-4. Testing procedures §1-5. Revision procedures §1-6. Errors and separability §3-1. Purpose; antidegradation policy statement §3-2. Applications of antidegradation policy §5-1. Declaration of policy; authority of Board §5-2. Beneficial uses: existing and designated §5-3. Beneficial uses: default designations §5-4. Applicability of narrative and numerical criteria §5-9. General narrative criteria §5-10. Public and private water supplies §5-11. Emergency public and private water supplies §5-16. Primary Body Contact Recreation §5-17.

Designated Beneficial Uses for Surface Waters Appendix B. Areas with Waters of Recreational and/or Ecological Significance EPA has partially approved the following sections: EPA has approved the following sections, with the exception of those provisions identified under the “disapproved,”“no action,” or “under review” headings below. The approved provisions are effective for CWA purposes. §1-2. Definitions §5-12. Fish and wildlife propagation §5-13. Agriculture: livestock and irrigation §5-25. Implementation Policies for the Antidegradation Policy Statement Appendix E. Requirements for Development of Site-specific Criteria for Certain Parameters Appendix F. Statistical Values of the Historical Data for Mineral Constituents of Water Quality Appendix G. Numerical Criteria to Protect Beneficial Uses Page 1 EPA has disapproved the following provisions: Under 40 CFR §131.21(c), new and revised standards do not go into effect for CWA purposes until approved by EPA; therefore, these disapproved provisions are not effective for CWA purposes. Appendix E. Section F. Site-specific aquatic life criteria for cadmium, silver, and lead for the City of Poteau’s discharge to the Poteau River. o The currently approved statewide aquatic life criteria for cadmium, silver, and lead remain effective for CWA purposes. §5-13(h). Criteria to protect Livestock Agriculture subcategory. o Since no water bodies in Oklahoma have been designated with the Livestock Agriculture subcategory use, the Irrigation Agriculture subcategory use applies by default to those waters designated as having the Agriculture use. Therefore, the currently approved chloride, sulfate, and total dissolved solids criteria associated with the Irrigation Agriculture subcategory use remain effective for CWA purposes. EPA has taken “no action” on the following WQS provisions because the submittal of these provisions did not meet the minimum requirements described at 40 CFR §131.6: Under 40 CFR §131.21(c), new and revised standards do not go into effect for CWA purposes until approved by EPA; therefore, these provisions are not effective for CWA purposes. §5-12(f)(1)(B)(iv). Dissolved Oxygen. (Site-specific regulatory low flow provision.) o EPA has taken no action on this provision. Appendix F. Statistical Values of the Historical Data for Mineral Constituents of Water Quality. o EPA has taken no action on the yearly mean and sample standards for chloride, sulfate, and total dissolved solids for the eight-digit sub-watershed segments (i.e., those segments where footnote “(4)” applies). Appendix G. Table 2. Numerical Criteria to Protect Beneficial Uses and All Subcategories Thereof. o EPA has taken no action on the “fish consumption and water” human health criterion of 9 µg/L for perchlorate. EPA has taken “no action” on the following provisions because they are not considered WQS under CWA §303(c): The status of these provisions would be determined under the applicable requirements of the other CWA programs the provisions are intended to implement. §5-12(f)(1)(D)(viii). Dissolved Oxygen. Additional application/exercise when support undetermined. §5-25(c)(4)(B). Implementation Policies for the Antidegradation Policy Statement. Sensitive Public and Private Water Supplies (SWS). o EPA has taken no action on the following language: “New point source discharges of any pollutant after June 11, 1989, and increased load of any specified pollutant from any point source discharge existing as of June 11, 1989, shall be prohibited in any waterbody or watershed designated in Appendix A of this Chapter with the limitation "SWS". Any discharge of any pollutant to a waterbody designated "SWS" which would, if it occurred, lower existing water quality shall be prohibited,” §5-25(d). Implementation Policies for the Antidegradation Policy Statement. (Provision pertaining to the Scenic Rivers total phosphorus criterion.)

Definitions. Fresh groundwater. §1-2. Definitions. PQL. Note that Oklahoma’s WQS use the term “PQL” solely for regulating groundwater, so EPA does not consider this term to be applicable to the WQS program as it relates to surface waters, including wetlands. §7.

Completed in 1940, the Project’s Pensacola Dam is the longest multi-arched dam in the world. The Pensacola Dam impounds the waters of the Grand River to form the Grand Lake O’ The Cherokees (Grand Lake). Grand Lake encompasses approximately 46,500 surface acres of water and 1,300 miles of shoreline. The Project boundary is located in close proximity to the shoreline and privately owned land is generally found mere feet from the water’s edge. Since its creation, Grand Lake has been a popular recreational and residential destination. During its history, Grand Lake has hosted the National Governor’s Conference and several nationally recognized fishing tournaments. It is the home of the nation’s oldest long distance regatta on an inland lake and the oldest yacht club in Oklahoma. Current uses of the shoreline include residential and commercial development, agriculture, and wildlife management areas. Grand Lake also has considerable value as an environmental resource. It contains significant aquatic and terrestrial habitat for a host of species. Additionally, the shoreline serves an important function in the local ecology.

  • Appendix B Revision Staff Report
    PROPOSED CHAPTER 45-APPENDIX B “AREAS WITH WATERS OF RECREATIONAL AND/OR ECOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE” October 27, 2015 1 | Page Proposed Updates to Chapter 45-Appendix B, “Areas With Waters of Recreational and/or Ecological Significance” Introduction Oklahoma’s Water Quality Standards (OWQS) are comprised of three basic components: 1) beneficial uses that describe the purposes of a waterbody, 2) narrative and numeric criteria to protect those uses, and 3) an antidegradation policy to protect provide additional protection when water quality is higher than that prescribed by the use. To ensure protection, the antidegradation policy creates a tiered system, with each waterbody fitting appropriately within that protection scheme (OAC 785:45-5-25 & 46- 13). All waterbodies are given Tier 1 protection, which ensures “attainment or maintenance of an existing or designated beneficial use”. While Tier 1 is considered the “baseline” of protection, some waters receive higher levels of protection, and are classified as Tier 2 or 3 waters. Given Tier 3 protection, outstanding resource waters (ORW), such as scenic rivers, are protected from any degradation of water quality. Other water bodies are given one of four Tier 2 classifications—high quality waters (HQW), sensitive water supplies (SWS), culturally significant waters (CSW), or Appendix B waters. The reasons for Tier 2 protection and its implementation vary across these classifications, but generally either prohibit or limit new discharges or loading. Appendix B Revisions By rule, Appendix B waters are defined as “those waters of the state which are located within the boundaries of areas listed in Appendix B of this Chapter, including but not limited to the National and State parks, forests, wilderness areas, wildlife management areas, and wildlife refuges” and “may include those areas which are inhabited by federally listed, threatened or endangered species, and other appropriate areas” [OAC 785:45-5-25(c)(2)(A)].
