  • Figure: 30 TAC §307.10(6)
    Figure: 30 TAC §307.10(6) Appendix F: Site-specific Nutrient Criteria for Selected Reservoirs In the following table, nutrient criteria for selected reservoirs are specified in terms of concentrations of chlorophyll a in water as a measure of the density of phytoplankton (suspended microscopic algae). Notes on the derivation of criteria are described below1. Long-term medians of chlorophyll a data will be used in the assessment. The criteria are applicable to the monitoring site(s) listed in the Site Identification (ID) column for each reservoir or to comparable monitoring sites. If sampling data are available from more than one of the listed sites, then the data are pooled to provide a single median for purposes of comparing to the criteria. Segment numbers in parentheses ( ) indicate that the water body is in close proximity to the segment listed, but the water body is not part of the segment. Criteria in the following table are adjusted to minimum levels that could generally be historically quantified by laboratory chemical analyses. When a chlorophyll a criterion is below 5.00 μg/L, then the criterion is set at the minimum default criterion of 5.00 μg/L. The calculated values are shown in parentheses ( ). Procedures to assess attainment for chlorophyll a criteria are described in §307.9(c)(2) and (e)(7) of this title (relating to Determination of Standards Attainment).
