Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-1 - Water Quality Standards › Section 3745-1-17 - Southwest Ohio tributaries drainage basin

Current through all
			 regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The water bodies listed in table 17-1 of
			 this rule are ordered from downstream to upstream. Tributaries of a water body
			 are indented. The aquatic life habitat, water supply and recreation use
			 designations are defined in rule
			 3745-1-07
			 of the Administrative Code. The state resource water use designation is defined
			 in rule 3745-105 of the Administrative Code. The most stringent criteria
			 associated with any one of the use designations assigned to a water body will
			 apply to that water body.
(B)
			 Figure 1 of the appendix to this rule is a generalized map of the southwest
			 Ohio tributaries drainage basin. A generalized map of Ohio outlining the
			 twenty-three major drainage basins and listing associated rule numbers in this
			 chapter is in figure 1 of the appendix to rule
			 3745-1-08
			 of the Administrative Code.
(C) RM,
			 as used in this rule, stands for river mile and refers to the method used by
			 the Ohio environmental protection agency to identify locations along a water
			 body. Mileage is defined as the lineal distance from the downstream terminus
			 (i.e., mouth) and moving in an upstream direction.
(D) The following symbols are used throughout
			 this rule:
* Designated use based on the 1978 water quality
				standards.
+ Designated use based on the results of a biological field
				assessment performed by the Ohio environmental protection agency.
o Designated use based on justification other than the results
				of a biological field assessment performed by the Ohio environmental protection
				agency.

				Ohio tributaries drainage basin.
