  • Appendix L - List of Tier 3, Tier 2, and Tier 2.5 Waters
    Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP) L-1 Appendix L - List of Tier 3, Tier 2, and Tier 2.5 Waters EPA’s MSGP has special requirements for discharges to waters designated by a state or tribe as Tier 2/2.5 or Tier 3 for antidegradation purposes under 40 CFR 131.12(a). See Parts 1.1.4.8 and 1.1.4.10 The list below is provided as a resource for operators who must determine whether they discharge to a Tier 2/2.5 or Tier 3 water. Only Tier 2/2.5 or Tier 3 waters specifically identified by a water quality standard authority (e.g., a state, territory, or tribe) are identified in the table below. Many authorities evaluate the existing and protected quality of the receiving water on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis and determine whether water quality is better than the applicable criteria that would be affected by a new discharger or a new source or an increase in an existing discharge of the pollutant. In instances where water quality is better, the authority may choose to allow lower water quality, where lower water quality is determined to be necessary to support important social and economic development. Permittees are not required to identify those waters which are evaluated on an individual basis. Permit Areas of Coverage/Where EPA Is Permitting Authority Number MAR050000 Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except Indian Country lands Tier 2, Tier 2.5, and 3 waters are identified and listed in the Massachusetts Water Quality Standards 314 CMR 4.00. Surface water qualifiers that correspond with Tier classifications are defined at 314 CMR 4.06(1)(d)m and listed in tables and figures at the end of 314 CMR 4.06.

  • WEB GYMOAZ-07-20 Giants Among Us
    THE GIANTS AMONG US A Journey through the White Mountains BY ANNE GROEBNER When the Spanish and Hispanic explorers reached the southern section of Apache County, it is said that they “christened the expanse of snow-covered mountains before them ‘Sierra Blanca’ — White Mountains.” In his book, “A Sand County Almanac,” Aldo Leopold, one of Apache- Sitgreaves National Forest’s first forest assistants and a nationally, well regarded conservationist, refers to Mount Baldy as “White Mountain.” Possibly derived from a translation of the Apache’s name for it “Dził Łigai Sí’án" (“white mountain”). I write about this because there has always been the resounding question of whether it’s “White Mountains” or “White Mountain.” “Is there a White Mountain?” I am asked on many occasions…Regardless of its humble but wild beginnings, the stretch of landscape -- in an area we now affectionately call “The White Mountains” -- along Arizona Route 260, harbors some pretty amazing and gigantic hidden wonders. If you head south on AZ Route 260 toward Greer, the first town you come to after passing Hon- Dah Resort Casino is McNary. This town was once one of the largest logging towns in this area. It was named after James G. McNary, a banker from El Paso, who moved his logging business to the northeastern mountains of Arizona. The town of McNary, leased from the White Mountain Apache Tribe, was the center of everything in the White Mountains. Everyone came there for doctor visits because there wasn’t a hospital back then. They came there to bowl, to watch movies at Art Crozier’s movie theatre and to buy groceries.
