Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-1 - Water Quality Standards › Section 3745-1-08 - Hocking river drainage basin

Current through all regulations passed
			 and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The water bodies listed in table 8-1 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
			 3745-1-05 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 Ohio outlining the water body drainage basins and listing
			 associated rule numbers in Chapter 3745-1 of the Administrative Code. Figure 2
			 of the appendix to this rule is a generalized map of the Hocking river drainage
			 basin.
(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; and
Table 8-1. Use designations for water bodies in the Hocking
				river drainage basin.
