Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 426 - Connecticut Water Quality Standards › Section 22a-426-2 - Short title and description

Current through July 10, 2024
Sections
				22a-426-1 through
				22a-426-9, inclusive, and the
				Classification Maps adopted pursuant to Section
				22a-426
				of the Connecticut General Statutes, shall be known as the Connecticut Water
				Quality Standards. The Connecticut Water Quality Standards include three
				elements: the Standards, Criteria and a series of Classification Maps. The
				Standards designate use goals and set the overall policy for management of
				surface water and ground water quality which are necessary to protect and
				restore water quality. The Criteria include narrative and numeric criteria that
				prescribe the allowable parameters and conditions for various water quality
				classifications required to sustain the designated uses. The Classification
				Maps have been adopted and are amended from time to time pursuant to the
				statutory process described in section
				22a-426
				of the Connecticut General Statutes. The Classification Maps show the water
				quality class assigned to each surface water and ground water resource
				throughout the state. The maps are used to relate designated uses and the
				applicable Standards and Criteria for each class of surface and ground water
				resource to a specific location.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 426 - Connecticut Water Quality Standards › Section 22a-426-3 - Purpose, goals and applicability

Current through July 10, 2024
(a)
Purpose
			 and Goals
The purpose of the Connecticut Water Quality Standards in
				addition to the statutory purposes is to:
(1) provide clear and objective statements
			 for existing and projected water quality and the general program to improve
			 Connecticut's water resources;
(2)
			 provide water quality for the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish,
			 and wildlife and for recreation in and on the water taking into consideration
			 their use and value for public water supplies, propagation of fish, shellfish
			 and wildlife, recreation in and on the water and agricultural, industrial and
			 other purposes including navigation, wherever attainable;
(3) recognize that surface and ground water
			 are interrelated and address the issue of competing use of ground waters for
			 drinking and for wastewater assimilation;
(4) ensure Connecticut's compliance with
			 requirements of federal law requiring the promulgation of water quality
			 standards and qualify the state and its municipalities for available federal
			 grants for water pollution control;
(5) establish designated uses for surface and
			 ground waters and identify the criteria necessary to support those
			 uses;
(6) focus the department's
			 water quality management activities, including establishment of water quality
			 based treatment controls and strategies required by 33 USC, Chapter
			 26;
(7) protect the public health
			 and welfare and promote the economic development of the state; and
(8) be consistent with health standards as
			 established by the Department of Public Health.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 426 - Connecticut Water Quality Standards › Section 22a-426-4 - Surface waters

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) General
			 Standards of Surface Water Quality
(1) It is
			 the state's goal to restore or maintain the chemical, physical and biological
			 integrity of surface waters. Where attainable, the level of water quality that
			 provides for the protection and propagation of fish, shellfish, and wildlife
			 and recreation in and on the water shall be achieved. This standard shall be
			 met, unless:
(A) a use attainability analysis
			 prepared pursuant to subsections (g) and (j) of
			 40 CFR 131.10
			 demonstrates that the surface water has been irreparably altered to the extent
			 that certain designated uses have been permanently lost; and
(B) quality criteria necessary to protect all
			 other existing and designated uses of the surface water have been adopted by
			 the Commissioner as a revision to the Connecticut Water Quality Standards in
			 accordance with section
			 22a-426
			 of the Connecticut General Statutes.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 426 - Connecticut Water Quality Standards › Section 22a-426-5 - Biological condition gradient model

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) The Biological
			 Condition Gradient Model is a model that describes how ecological attributes
			 change in response to increasing levels of stressors. In accordance with the
			 Biological Condition Gradient Model, as the level of stress gets progressively
			 greater, the biological communities, which start out in a natural condition,
			 begin to change as they respond to the stress.
CONNECTICUT BIOLOGICAL CONDITION GRADIENT
				MODEL

(b) The
			 ecological attribute changes are categorized into tiers, as follows:
(1) Tier 1 - Native condition is such that
			 the native structural, functional and taxonomic integrity is preserved;
			 ecosystem function is preserved within the range of natural
			 variability.
(2) Tier 2 - Minimal
			 changes in the structure of the biotic community and minimal changes in
			 ecosystem function are such that virtually all native taxa are maintained with
			 some changes in biomass or abundance; ecosystem functions are fully maintained
			 within the range of natural variability.
(3) Tier 3 - Evident changes in structure of
			 the biotic community and minimal changes in ecosystem function due to loss of
			 some sensitive-rare taxa; shifts in relative abundance of taxa but
			 sensitive-ubiquitous taxa are common and abundant; ecosystem functions are
			 fully maintained through redundant attributes of the system.
(4) Tier 4 - Moderate changes in structure of
			 the biotic community with minimal changes in ecosystem function due to
			 replacement of some sensitive-ubiquitous taxa by more tolerant taxa, but
			 reproducing populations of some sensitive taxa are maintained; overall balanced
			 distribution of all expected major groups; ecosystem functions largely
			 maintained through redundant attributes.
(5) Tier 5 - Major changes in structure of
			 the biotic community and moderate changes in ecosystem function are such that
			 the sensitive taxa are markedly diminished; conspicuously unbalanced
			 distribution of major groups from that expected; organism condition shows signs
			 of physiological stress; ecosystem function shows reduced complexity and
			 redundancy; increased build-up or export of unused materials.
(6) Tier 6 - Severe changes in structure of
			 the biotic community and major loss of ecosystem function are such that there
			 are extreme changes in structure; wholesale changes in taxonomic composition;
			 extreme alterations from normal densities and distributions; organism condition
			 is often poor; ecosystem functions are severely altered.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 426 - Connecticut Water Quality Standards › Section 22a-426-6 - Lake trophic categories

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) The ranges of
			 Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen, Chlorophyll-a, and Secchi Disk Transparency
			 appearing in the table in this section titled "Parameters and Defining Ranges
			 for Trophic State of Lakes in Connecticut" shall be assessed collectively to
			 determine the trophic state of a lake. In addition to water column data, the
			 trophic state of a lake shall be determined by the percentage of the surface
			 area covered by macrophytes in accordance with subsection (b) of this section.
			 For the purpose of determining consistency with the Connecticut Water Quality
			 Standards, the natural trophic state of a lake shall be compared with the
			 current trophic state to determine if the trophic state of the lake has been
			 altered due to excessive anthropogenic inputs. Lakes in advanced trophic states
			 which exceed their natural trophic state due to anthropogenic sources shall be
			 considered to be inconsistent with the Connecticut Water Quality Standards.

Aquatic Macrophytes
(1)
			 Macrophytes are aquatic plants large enough to be seen without magnification.
			 Macrophyte distribution and abundance data shall be reviewed in conjunction
			 with the water column data to determine the trophic states of lakes and
			 ponds.
(2) If macrophyte growth is
			 very extensive (75 - 100% of water body area) and dense, the trophic state of a
			 lake or pond shall be considered "highly eutrophic" regardless of the water
			 column data.
(3) If macrophyte
			 growth is extensive (30 - 75% of water body area) and dense, the trophic state
			 shall be considered "mesotrophic" when the water column indication is
			 oligotrophic, and the trophic state shall be considered "eutrophic" when the
			 water column indication is mesotrophic or eutrophic.
Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 22a - Environmental Protection › 426 - Connecticut Water Quality Standards › Section 22a-426-8 - Antidegradation standards and antidegradation implementation olicies

Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Antidegradation Standards
(1) Existing and designated uses such as
			 propagation of fish, shellfish and wildlife, recreation, public water supply,
			 and agriculture, industrial use and navigation, and the water quality necessary
			 for their protection are to be maintained and protected.
(2) Surface waters with an existing quality
			 better than the criteria established in the Connecticut Water Quality Standards
			 shall be maintained at their existing high quality, unless the Commissioner
			 finds, after adequate opportunity for intergovernmental review and public
			 participation, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate
			 overriding economic or social benefits to the state and to the area in which
			 the surface water is located that are determined by the Commissioner to exist
			 after an analysis of the factors listed in subdivision (1) of subsection (g) of
			 this section, and that existing and designated uses will be fully protected.
			 Factors that may be given consideration when identifying High Quality Waters
			 include but are not limited to the current biological condition, fisheries
			 resources and recreational uses.
(3) For all new and existing discharges to
			 high quality surface waters the Commissioner shall, at a minimum, require
			 applicants to meet the highest applicable standards of performance promulgated
			 pursuant to the 33 USC, Chapter 26 and the Connecticut General Statutes, and
			 may require additional treatment measures if deemed necessary to prevent
			 pollution and maintain high water quality. The Commissioner shall also require
			 the use of appropriate Best Management Practices for control of discharges and
			 activities to high quality surface waters.
(4) If the Commissioner designates a high
			 quality surface water as an Outstanding National Resource Water pursuant to
			 40 CFR
			 131.12(a) the high water
			 quality shall be maintained and protected. The lowering of water quality is
			 prohibited for such surface waters except where activities limited in time and
			 scope will result in only temporary and insignificant changes in water quality
			 as determined by the Commissioner and the activities will not result in water
			 quality less than necessary to protect existing and designated uses.
