X = Beneficial use.

a Refer to NAC 445A.122 and 445A.1332 for beneficial use terminology.

b The water must not contain nutrient concentrations from a source other than a natural source which cause the growth of algae or aquatic plants in amounts that interfere with any beneficial uses of the water.

c The ambient water quality criteria for ammonia are specified in NAC 445A.118.
