Section 128-10.2 - System specific water quality characteristics

The system specific water quality characteristics of the reservoirs and reservoir stems, as of September 1990, are set forth in Tables 1 and 2 of this section. It is the intention of the department that the system specific characteristics be maintained at the stated levels by implementation and enforcement of these rules and regulations.
