Ohio Administrative Code › Title 3745 - Ohio Environmental Protection Agency › Chapter 3745-1 - Water Quality Standards › Section 3745-1-27 - Black river drainage basin

Current through all regulations passed
			 and filed through July 1, 2024
(A) The water bodies listed in table 27-1 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 the Black 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.
* Designated use based on justification other than the results
				of a biological field assessment performed by the Ohio environmental protection
				agency.
Table 27-1. Use designations for water bodies in the Black
				river drainage basin.
