Current through Register Vol. 71, No. 49, December 6, 2024
Rule 21-1104 - STANDARDS
1104.1

The surface waters of the District shall be free from substances in amounts or combinations that do any one of the following:

(a) Settle to form objectionable deposits;
(b) Float as debris, scum, oil, or other matter to create a nuisance;
(c) Produce objectionable odor, color, taste, or turbidity;
(d) Cause injury to, are toxic to, or produce adverse physiological or behavioral changes in humans, plants, or animals;
(e) Produce undesirable or nuisance aquatic life or result in the dominance of nuisance species; or
(f) Impair the biological community that naturally occurs in the waters or depends upon the waters for its survival and propagation.
1104.2

For the waters of the District with multiple designated uses, the most stringent standards or criteria shall govern.

1104.3

Class A waters shall be free of discharges of untreated sewage, litter and unmarked submerged or partially submergel man-made structures that would constitute a hazard to the users of Class A waters.

1104.4

The aesthetic qualities of Class B waters shall be maintained. Construction, placement or mooring of facilities not primarily and directly water oriented is prohibited in, on, or over Class B waters unless:

(a) The facility is for the general public benefit and service, and
(b) Land based alternatives are not available.
1104.5

Class C streams shall be maintained to support aquatic life and shall not be placed in pipes.

1104.6

Within tidally influenced Class C waters, concentrations of chlorophyll a in free-floating microscopic aquatic plants (algae) shall not exceed levels that result in ecologically undesirable consequences such as reduced water clarity, low dissolved oxygen, food supply imbalances, proliferation of species deemed potentially harmful to aquatic life or humans or aesthetically objectionable conditions or otherwise render tidal waters unsuitable for designated uses.

1104.7

Class E waters shall be free of unmarked submerged or partially submerged man-made objects that pose a hazard to users of these waters.

1104.8

Unless otherwise stated, the numeric criteria that shall be met to attain and maintain designated uses are as follows in Tables 1 through 3:

Footnotes:

a Attainment of the dissolved oxygen, water clarity and chlorophyll a water quality criteria that apply to tidal influenced Class C waters will be determined following the guidelines documented in the 2003 United States Environmental Protection Agency publication: Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Dissolved Oxygen, Water Clarity and Chlorophyll a for the Chesapeake Bay and its Tidal Tributaries, EPA 903-R-03-002 (April 2003, Region III Chesapeake Bay Program Office, Annapolis, Maryland); 2004 Addendum, EPA 903-R-04-005 (October 2004); 2007 Addendum, EPA 903-R-07-003 CBP/TRS 285/07 (July 2007); 2007 Chlorophyll Criterion Addendum, EPA 903-R-07-005 CBP/TRS 288-07 (November 2007); 2008 Addendum, EPA 903-R-08-001 CBP/TRS 290-08 (September 2008); and 2010 Criterion Addendum, EPA 903-R-10-002 CBP/TRS-301-10 (May 2010).

bShall apply to only tidally influenced waters.

cShall apply to only nontidal waters.

dAt temperatures greater than 29°C in tidally influenced waters, an instantaneous minimum dissolved oxygen concentration of 4.3 mg/L shall apply.

eThe geometric mean criterion shall be used for assessing water quality trends and for permitting. The single sample value criterion shall be used for assessing water quality trends only.

aFor constituents without numerical criteria, standards have not been developed at this time. However, the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permitting authority shall address constituents without numerical standards in NPDES permit actions by using the narrative criteria for toxics contained in these water quality standards.

bThe Class D human health criteria for metals will be based on total recoverable metals.

cThe criteria is based on carcinogenicity of 10-6 risk level.

fHardness in in Tables 2a and 2b shall be measured as mg/L of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).The minimum hardness value allowed for use in these formulas shall not be less than 25 mg/L as CaCO3, even if the actual ambient hardness is less than 25 mg/L as CaCO3. The maximum hardness value allowed for use in these formulas shall not exceed 400mg/L as CaCO3, even if the actual ambient water hardness is greater than 400 mg/L as CaCO3.

gCriterion Continuous Concentration (CCC) for Total Ammonia:

(a) The CCC criterion for ammonia (in mg N/L) (i) shall be the thirty (30)-day average concentration for total ammonia computed for a design flow specified in Subsection 1105.5; and (ii) shall account for the influence of the pH and temperature as shown in Table 2b and Table 2c. The highest four (4)-day average within the thirty (30)-day period shall not exceed 2.5 times the CCC.
(b) The CCC criterion in Table 2c for the period March 1st through June 30th was calculated using the following formula, which shall be used to calculate unlisted values: CCC = [(0.0577/(1+107.688-pH)) + (2.487/(1+ 10pH-7.688))] X MIN(2.85, 1.45 X 100.028X(25-T))], where MIN indicates the lesser of the two values (2.85, 1.45 X 100.028X(25-T)) separated by a comma.
(c) The CCC criterion in Table 2d for the period July 1st through February 28/29th, was calculated using the following formula, which shall be used to calculate unlisted values: CCC = [(0.0577/(1+107.688-pH)) + (2.487/(1+ 10pH-7.688))] X [1.45 X 100.028X(25-MAX(T,7)], where MAX indicates the greater of the two values (T,7) separated by a comma.

hCriterion Maximum Concentration (CMC) for Total Ammonia:

(a) The CMC criterion for total ammonia (in mg N/L) (i) shall be the one (1)-hour average concentration for total ammonia, computed for a design flow specified in subsection 1105.5; and (ii) shall account for the influence of the pH as shown in Table 2e.
(b) The CMC criterion was calculated using the following formula, which shall be used to calculate unlisted values: CMC = [(0.411/(1+107.204-pH)] + [58.4/(1+ 10pH-7.204)].

Footnotes:

aFor constituents with blank numeric criteria, EPA has not calculated criteria at this time. However, permit authorities will address these constituents in NPDES permit actions using the narrative criteria for toxics.

bThe criteria are based on carcinogenicity of 10- risk level.

cThe formulas for calculating the concentrations of substances indicated above areas follows:

[[I] The numerical CCC for pentachlorophenol in µg/L shall be given by:

e(1.005(pH) - 5.134)

[I.A] The numerical CMC for pentachlorophenol in µg/L shall be given by:

e(1.005(pH) - 4.869)

dThe polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) criterion applies to total PCBs (e.g.,the sum of all congener, isomer, homolog or Aroclor analyses.)
