Ilicrc shall be no loxjc wastes, delctcriutis substani;cs, colored or odicr waslcs or he.ilcd 

 liquids discharged to waters of this elassilicalion cillicr singly or in combinations with other 

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

 fish or shelirish or to the culture or propagation Ihereur, or which in any manner shall 

 adversely affect the llavui, color, oi odor thereof or impair the waters lor any other 

 discharge ascribed to waters of this classiricalion. There shall be no waste discharge which 

 will cause the hydrogen-ion concentration or "pH" of tlic receiving' waters to fall outside the 

 6.7 to 8.5 range. Tliere shall be no disposal of any matter or substance that contains 

 chemical constituents which are harmful to humans, animal or aquatic life or whicf 

 adversely affects any other water use in this class. No radioactive matter or sul>stance sl< 

 be permitted in these waters which would be harmful to humans, aninuls or aquatic life aiiU 

 there shall be no disposal of any matter or substance which would result in radionuclide 

 concentrations in edible fish or other aquatic life thereby rendering them dangerous lor 

 human consumption. 



Class SD waters shall be assigned only where a higlier water classification cannot be 

 attained after utilizing the best practicable treatment or control of sewage or other wastes. 

 Waters of this class may be used for power generation, navigation, industrial process waters 

 or cooling waters, and for migration of fish. Dissolved oxygen of these waters shall not be 

 less than 3.0 parts per milUon at any time. Tlie numbers of culilonn bacteria allowed in 

 these waters shall be only those amounts which will not, in the determination ol the board, 

 indicate a condition harmful to the public health or impair any usages ascribed to this 

 classiflcation. 



1972. c. 618. 



Iliese waters shall be free from sludge deposits, solid refuse and tloating solids such as 

 oils, grease or scum. Tlicre shall be no disposal of any matter or substance in these waters 

 which imparts color, turbidity, taste or odor which would impair the usages ascribed to this 

 classiHcation. nor shall such matter or substance alter the temperature or hydrogen-ion 

 concentration of the waters so as to impair the usages of this classification. There shall be no 

 disposal of any matter or substance that contains chemical constituents which are harmful to 

 humans or which adversely affect any other water use in this class. No radioactive nutter or 

 substance shall be permitted in these waters which would be harmful to humans, animal or 

 aquatic life and there shall be no disposal of any matter or substance which would result in 

 radio-nuclide concentrations in edible t'lsh or other aquatic life thereby rendering them 

 dangerous for human consumption. 



Tliere shall be no disposal of sewage, industrial wastes or other wastes in such waters, 

 except those which have received treatment for the adequate removal of waste constituents 

 including, but not limited to. solids, color, turbidity, taste, odor or toxic material, such that 

 these treated wastes will not lower the standards or altar the usages of this classification. 

 Treated wastes discharged to these waters shall not create a public nuisance as defined in 

 Title 17, Section 2802, by the creation of odor-producing sludge banks and deposits or other 

 nuisance conditions. 



With respect to all classiHcations hereinbefore set forth, the Uoard may take such actions 

 as may be appropriate for the best interests of the public, when it finds that any such 

 classification is temporarily lowered due to abnormal conditions of temperature or stream 

 flow.
