lliere shall be no toxic wastes, deleterious substances, cotorcd or other wastes or healed 

 liipiids discharged to waters of this classification either singly or in combination with other 

 substances or wastes in such amounts or at such temperatures as to be injurious to edible 

 fish or shellfish or to the culture or propagation thereof, or which in any manner shall 

 adversely allect the flavor, color, odor or sanitary condition thereof; and otherwise none in 

 sulticient amounts to make the waters unsafe or unsuitable for bathing or impair the waters 

 for any other best usage as determined for the specific waters assigned to this class. There 

 shall be no waste discharge which will cause the hydrogen-ion concentration or "pH" of the 

 receiving waters to fall outside of the 6.7 to 8.S range. There shall be no dis|>osal of any 

 matter or substance that contains chemical constituents which are harmful to humans, 

 animal or aquatic life or which adversely affects any other water use in this class. No 

 radioactive matter or substance shall be permitted in these waters which would be harmful 

 to humans, animal or a>|Ualic life and there shall be no disposal of any matter or substance 

 which would result in radionuclide cimcentrations in edible fish or other aquatic life thereby 

 rendering llieiii dangerous for human consumption. Tlicse waters shall be free of any matter 

 or substance which alters the composition of bottom fauna, which adversely affects the 

 physical or chemical nature of bottom material, ur which interferes with the propagation of 

 fish or shellfish if indigenous to this area. 



Class SC, (he 4th higliest classification, shall be of such quality as to be satisfactory for 

 recreational boating, fishing and other similar uses except primary water contact. Such 

 waters may be used for the propagation of indigenous shellfish to be harvested for depura- 

 tion pur|>oses, for a fish and wildlife habitat, and for industrial cooling and process uses. The 

 dissolved oxygen content of such waters shall not be less than 5 parts per million at any 

 time. Tlie median numbers of coliform bacteria in any series of samples representative of 

 waters in (he shellfish growing area shall not be in excess of 700 per 100 milliliters, nor shall 

 more than H)7o of the samples exceed 2,300 coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters. I'he 

 median numbers of fecal coliform bacteria in any series of samples representative of waters 

 in the shellfish growing area shall not be in excess of ISO per 100 milliliters, nor shall more 

 than 10% of the samples exceed 500 fecal cohforin bacteria per 100 nulliliters. In a 

 non-shellfisli growing area the median number of coliform bacteria in a series of samples 

 representative ol (he wa(ers shall no( exceed l,S(K) per 100 milliliters nor shall more than 

 10'/. ol the samples exceed 3.000 coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters. 



In a non-shell fish growing area (he median numbers of fecal coliform bacteria in a scries 

 of .samples representative of the waters shall not exceed 300 per 100 milliliters, nor shall 

 more than 10% of the samples exceed 1,000 lecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters.
