It is the policy of the State of West Virginia that the waters of the State shall be maintained and protected as follows: 4.1.a. Tier 1 Protection. Existing water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing uses shall be maintained and protected. Existing uses are those uses actually attained in a water on or after November 28, 1975, whether or not they are included as designated uses within these water quality standards. 4.1.b. Tier 2 Protection. The existing high quality waters of the State must be maintained at their existing high quality unless it?i-s?the Secretarv determined-s, after satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination of the State?s continuing planning process as outlined in the Legislative Rule entitled ?Antidegradation Implementation Procedures?, 60CSR5, and opportunity for public comment and hearing, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located. If limited degradation is allowed, it shall not result in injury or interference with existing stream water uses or in violation of State or federal water quality criteria that describe the base levels necessary to sustain the national water quality goal uses of protection and propagation of fish, shellfish and wildlife, and recreating in and on the water. In addition, the Secretary shall assure that all new and existing point sources shall achieve the highest established statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to them and shall assure the achievement of cost-effective and reasonable best management practices (BMPs) for non-point source control. If BWs are demonstrated to be inadequate to reduce or minimize water quality impacts, the Secretary may require that more appropriate BMPs be develop ed and applied. 4. 1b. 1. High quality waters are those waters meeting the definition at section 2.8 herein. 4.1.b.2. High quality waters may include, but are not limited to, the following: 4.1.b.2.A. Streams designated by the West Virginia Legislature under the West Virginia Natural Stream Preservation Act, pursuant to W. Va. Code 22-13-5, and 4.1.b.2.B. Streams listed in West Virginia High Quality Streams, Sixth Edition, prepared by the Wildlife Resources Section of the Department Division of Natural Resources (+936 2011 J. 4.1.b.2.C. Streams or stream segments which receive annual stockings of trout but which do not support year-round trout populations. 4.1.c. Tier 3 Protection. In all cases, waters which constitute an outstanding national resource shall be maintained and protected and improved where necessary. Outstanding national resource waters include, but are not limited to, all streams and rivers within the boundaries of Wilderness Areas designated by The Wilderness Act, 16 U.S.C. 1131, et seq.; all Federally designated rivers under the ?Wild and Scenic Rivers Act?, 16 U.S.C. 1271, et seq., all streams and other bodies of water in State Parks which are high quality waters or naturally reproducing trout streams, waters in National Parks and Forests which are high quality waters or naturally reproducing trout streams, waters designated under the 4 47CSR2 ?National Parks and Recreation Act of 16 U.S.C 461, et seq; and pursuant to sobseetien?TH?ef the rule entitled ?Antidegredation Implementation Procedures,? 60CSR5, those waters whose unique character, ecological or recreational value, or pristine nature constitutes a valuable national or state resource. Additional waters may be nominated for inclusion in that category by any interested party or by the Secretary on his or her own initiative. To designate a nominated water as an outstanding national resource water, the Secretary shall follow the public notice and hearing provisions as provided in Procedural Rule Governing Site Speci?c Revisions to Water Quality Standards, 4.1.d. All applicable requirements of section 316(a) of the Federal Act shall apply to mo difications of the temperature water quality criteria provided for in these rules. ?47-2-5. N?xing Zones. 5.1. In the permit review and planning process or upon the request of a permit applicant or permittee, the Secretary may establish, on a case-by-case basis, an appropriate mixing zone. 5.2. The following guidelines and conditions are applicable to all mixing zones: 5.2.a. The Secretary will assign, on a case-by-case basis, defmable geometric limits for mixing zones for a discharge or a pollutant or pollutants within a discharge. Applicable limits shall include, but mav? not be limited to, the linear distances from the point of discharge, surface area involvement, volume of receiving water and shall take into account other nearby mixing zones. Nlixing zones shall take into account the mixing conditions in the receiving stream whether complete or incomplete mixing conditions exist). Mixing zones will not be allowed until applicable limits are assigned by the Secretary in accordance with this section. 5.2.b. Concentrations of pollutants which exceed the acute criteria for protection of aquatic life set forth in Appendix B, Table 1 shall not exist at any point within an assigned mixing zone or in the discharge itself unless a zone of initial dilution is assigned. A zone of initial dilution may be assigned on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Secretary. The zone of initial dilution is the area within the mixing zone where initial dilution of the effluent with the receiving water occurs, and where the concentration of the ef?uent will be its greatest in the water colunm. Where a zone of initial dilution is assigned by the Secretary, the size of the zone shall be determined using one of the four alternatives outlined in section 4.3.3 of US Technical Support Document for Water Quality-based Toxics Control FEM-127415, March 1991). Concentrations of pollutants shall not exceed the acute criteria at the edge of the assigned zone of initial dilution. Chronic criteria for the protection of aquatic life may be exceeded within the mixing zone but shall be met at the edge of the assigned mixing zone. 5.2.c. Concentrations of pollutants which exceed the criteria for the protection of human health set forth in Appendix E, Table 1 shall not be allowed at any point unless a mixing zone has been assigned by the Secretary after consultation with the Commissioner of the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health. Human health criteria may be exceeded within an assigned mixing zone, but shall be met at the edge of the assigned mixing zone. Mixing zones for human health criteria shall be sized to prevent significant human health risks and shall be developed using reasonable assumptions about exposure pathways. In assessing the potential human health risks of establishing a mixing zone upstream from a drinking water intake, the Secretary shall consider the cumulative effects of multiple discharges and mixing zones on the drinking water intake. No mixing zone for human health criteria shall be established on a stream which has a seven (7) day, ten (10) year return frequency of five (5) cubic feet per second (cfs) or less. 47CSR2 5.2.d. Mxing zenes, including zenes ef initial dilutien, shall net interfere with fish spawning er nursery areas er fish migratien reutes, shall net everlap public water supply intakes er bathing areas, e-au-se?l-etha?l?i-the er preclude the free passage ef ?sh er ether aquatic life, ner harm any threatened er endangered species, as listed in the Federal Endangered Species Act, 15 U.S.C. 1531, et seq. 5.2.e. The mixing zene shall net exceed ene-third ef the width ef the receiving stream, and in ne case shall the mixing zene exceed ene-half(1/ 2) ef the cress-sectienal area ef the receiving stream. 5.2.f. In lakes and ether surface impeundments, the velume ef a mixing zene shall net affect in excess ef ten percent ef the velume ef that pertien ef the receiving waters available fer mixing. 5.2. g.

Applicability of Water Quality Standards. The following shall apply at all times unless a speci?c exception is granted in this section: 7.2.a. Water Use Categories as described in section 6 herein. 7.2.a.l. Based on meeting those Section 6 de?nitions, tributaries or stream segments may be classi?ed for one or more Water Use Categories. When more than one use exists, they shall be protected by criteria for the use category requiring the most stringent protection. 7.2.a.2. Each segment extending upstream from the intake of a Water Supply, Public (Water Use Category A), for a distance of one-half mile or to the headwater, must be protected by prohibiting the discharge of any pollutants in excess of the concentrations designated for this Water Use Category in section 8 herein. In addition, within that one-half mile zone, the Secretary may establish, for any discharge, ef?uent limitations for the protection of human health that require additional removal of pollutants than would otherwise be provided by this rule. (If a watershed is not signi?cantly larger than this zone above the intake, the water supply section may include the entire upstream watershed to its headwaters.) The one-half 1/ 2) mile zone described in this section shall not apply to the Ohio River main channel (between Brownis Island and the left descending bank) between river mile points 61.0 and 63.5 and mile points 70 and 71. All mixing zone regulations found in section 5 of this rule will apply except for subdivision 5.2.h.6. Whether a mixing zone is appropriate and the proper size of such zone would need to be considered on a site-speci?c basis in accordance with the US. EPA approved West Virginia mixing zone regulations in section 5 above. 7.2.b. In the absence of any special application or contrary provision, water quality standards shall apply at all times when ?ows are equal to or greater than the minimum mean seven (7) consecutive day drought ?ow with a ten (10) year return frequency (7Q10). NOTE: With the exception of paragraph 7.2.c.5 below, exceptions do not apply to trout waters nor to the requirements of section 3 herein. 7.2.c. Exceptions: Numeric water quality standards shall not apply:; . .E . . 7.2.c.l. When the ?ow is less than 7Q 10, 7.2.c.2. In wet weather streams (or intermittent stream, when they are dry or have no measurable so long as the existing and designated uses of waters are not adversely affected; 7.2.c.3. In any assigned zone of initial dilution of any mixing zone where a zone of initial dilution is required by subdivision 5.2.b herein, or in any assigned mixing zone for human health criteria 1 See. subdivision 7.2.d below for site-speci?c revisions. l3 47CSR2 or aquatic life criteria for which a zone of initial dilution is not assigned or in zones of initial dilution and certain mixing zones, except that all requirements described in section 5 herein shall apply to all zones of initial dilution and all mixing zones, 7.2.c.4. Where, on the basis of natural conditions, the Secretary has established a site- speci?c aquatic life water quality criterion that modi?es a water quality criterion set out in Appendix E, Table of this rule. Where a natural condition of a water is demonstrated to be of lower quality than a water quality criterion for the use classes and subclasses in section 6 of this rule, the Secretary, in his or her discretion, may establish a site-speci?c water quality criterion for aquatic life. This alternate criterion may only serve as the chronic criterion established for that parameter. This alternate criterion must be met at end of pipe. Where the Secretary decides to establish a site-speci?c water quality criterion for aquatic life, the natural condition constitutes the applicable water quality criterion. A site-speci?c criterion for natural conditions may only be established through the legislative rulemaking process in accordance with W. Va. Code 29A?3-l, et seq. and must satisfy the public participation requirements set forth at 40 C.F.R. 131.20 and 40 C.F.R. Part 25. Site-specific criteria for natural conditions may be established only for aquatic life criteria. A public notice, hearing, and comment period are required before site-speci?c criteria for natural conditions are established. Upon application or on -i-t-s?his or her own initiative, the Secretary will determine whether a natural condition of a water should be approved as a site-speci?c water quality criterion. Before he or she approves a site-speci?c water quality criterion for a natural condition, the Secretary must ?nd that the natural condition will fully protect existing and designated uses and ensure the protection of aquatic life. If a natural condition of a water varies with time, the natural condition will be determined to be the actual natural condition of the water measured prior to or concurrent with discharge or operation. The Secretary will, in his or her discretion, determine a natural condition for one or more seasonal or shorter periods to re?ect variable ambient conditions and require additional or continuing monitoring of natural conditions. An application for a site-specific criterion to be established on the basis of natural conditions shall be ?led with the Secretary and shall include the following information: 7.2.c.4.A. A Unites States Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5 minute map showing the stream segment affected and showing all existing discharge points and proposed discharge point, 7.2.c.4.B.

Variances shall apply enly te the discharger te whem they are granted and shall be reviewed by the Secretary at least every three years. In granting a variance, the Secretary shall fellew the requirements fer revisien ef water quality standards 47CSR6. 8.5. Site-specific numeric criteria. The Secretary may establish numeric criteria different frem these set ferth in Appendix E, Table fer a stream er stream segment upen a demenstratien that existing numeric criteria are either ever-pretective er under-pretective ef the aquatic life residing in the stream er stream segment. A site-specific numeric criterien will be established enly where the numeric criterien will be fully pretective ef the aquatic life and the existing and designated uses in the stream er stream segment. The site-specific numeric criterien may develeped in a manner described in subdivisien 8.5.a er 8.5.b herein. 8.5.a. A site-specific numeric criterien may be established as part ef the NPDES permitting precess by use ef a Water Effect Ratie study pursuant te the precedures described in U.S. "Interim l9 47CSR2 Guidance on the Determination and Use of Water-Effect Ratios for Metals" February 1994); or a site- specific numeric criterion for copper may be established by use of a Biotic Ligand Model analysis pursuant to the procedures described in ?Aquatic Life Ambient Freshwater Quality Criteria Copper? (February 2007). 8.5.b. The permit applicant may use other methods with prior approval by the Secretary so long as the applicant follows the requirements for revision of water quality standards set forth in 47CSR6. ?47?2?9. Establishment 0f Safe Concentration Values. When a speci?c water quality standard has not been established by th-oso?ru?los?this rule and there is a discharge or proposed discharge into waters of the State: the use of which has been designated a Category B1, B2, B3 or B4, such discharge may be regulated by the Secretary where necessary to protect State waters through establishment of a safe concentration value as follows: 9.1. Establishment of a safe concentration value shall be based upon data obtained from relevant aquatic field studies, standard bioassay test data which exists in substantial available scientific literature: or data obtained from specific tests utilizing one (1) or more representative important species of aquatic life designated on a case-by-case basis by the Secretary and conducted in a water environment which is equal to or closely approximates that of the natural quality of the receiving waters. 9.2. In those cases where it has been determined that there is insufficient available data to establish a safe concentration value for a pollutant, the safe concentration value shall be determined by applying the appropriate application factor as set forth below to the 96-hour LC 50 value. Except where the Secretary determines: based upon substantial available scientific data: that an alternate application factor exists for a pollutant: the following appropriate application factors shall be used in the determination of safe concentration values: 9.2.a. Concentrations of pollutants or combinations of pollutants that are not persistent and not cumulative shall not exceed 0.10 10) of the 96-hour LC 50. 9.2.b. Concentrations of pollutants or combinations of pollutants that are persistent or cumulative shall not exceed 0.01 100) of the 96-hour LC 50. 9.3. Persons seeking issuance of a permit pursuant to those-Falos-this rule authorizing the discharge of a pollutant for which a safe concentration value is to be established using special bioassay tests pursuant to subsection 9.1 shall perform such testing as approved by the Secretary and shall submit all of the following in writing to the Secretary: 9.3.a. A plan proposing the bioassay testing to be performed. 9.3.b. Such periodic progress reports of the testing as may be required by the Secretary. 9.3.c. A report of the completed results of such testing including, but not limited to, all data obtained during the course of testing and all calculations made in the recording, collection: interpretation., and evaluation of such data. 9.4. Bioassay testing shall be conducted and test waters shall be reconstituted in accordance with methodologies test procedures outlined in 40 C.F.R. 136. as amended May 18. 2012 or other methodologies approved by the Secretary. . .--: .- - - I..- I I- ?illi L21 47CSR2 47CSRZ APPENDIX A CATEGORY B-2 - TROUT WATERS This list eentains knewn trent waters and is net intended te exelnde any waters whieh meet the definitien in Seeti an 2.19.
