Ohio Admin. Code 3745-1-35

Current through all regulations passed and filed through December 2, 2024
Section 3745-1-35 - Aquatic life and wildlife criteria

[Comment: For dates of non-regulatory government publications, publications of recognized organizations and associations, federal rules and federal statutory provisions referenced in this rule, see rule 3745-1-03 of the Administrative Code.]

[Comment: For definitions of the use designation, see rule 3745-1-07 of the Administrative Code. For all other definitions, see rule 3745-1-02 of the Administrative Code.]

(A) The chemical-specific criteria listed in this rule apply as "Outside Mixing Zone" or "Inside Mixing Zone Maximum." For the purpose of setting water quality based effluent limits, the criteria which apply "Outside Mixing Zone" shall be met after the effluent and the receiving water are reasonably well mixed as provided in rules 3745-1-06 and 3745-2-05 of the Administrative Code. The criteria listed as "Inside Mixing Zone Maximum" shall be applicable as end-of-pipe maximum effluent limits or as criteria to be met within a short distance of the effluent pipe except as provided in rule 3745-2-08 of the Administrative Code. Possible exceptions regarding the application of these criteria may apply as described in paragraph (C) of rule 3745-1-07 of the Administrative Code.
(B) The water quality criteria adopted in, or developed pursuant to, this rule shall apply as follows:
(1) The "Inside Mixing Zone Maximum" and "Outside Mixing Zone Maximum" water quality criteria for the protection of aquatic life, or site-specific modifications thereof, shall apply to all water bodies. Water quality criteria applicable to specific aquatic life use designations are listed where appropriate. The "Inside Mixing Zone Maximum" and "Outside Mixing Zone Maximum" water quality criteria identified for the warmwater habitat use designation apply to water bodies not assigned an aquatic life use designation.
(2) The "Outside Mixing Zone Average" water quality criteria for the protection of aquatic life, or site-specific modifications thereof, shall apply to all water bodies except those water bodies assigned the limited resource water use designation. However, the limited resource water "Outside Mixing Zone Average" water quality criteria for dissolved oxygen, pH and temperature apply to water bodies assigned the limited resource water use designation.

Water quality criteria applicable to specific aquatic life use designations are listed where appropriate. The "Outside Mixing Zone Average" water quality criteria identified for the warmwater habitat use designation apply to water bodies not assigned an aquatic life use designation.

(3) Criteria for protection of wildlife, or site-specific modifications thereof, are "Outside Mixing Zone Average" water quality criteria and shall apply to all water bodies located in the lake Erie drainage basin.
(C) For any pollutant for which it is demonstrated that a methodology or procedure cited in this chapter is not scientifically defensible, the director may apply an alternative methodology or procedure acceptable under 40 C.F.R. 131 when developing water quality criteria.
(D) Protection of aquatic life - whole-effluent approach.

Whole-effluent toxicity levels shall be applied in accordance with rules 3745-1-44 and 3745-33-07 of the Administrative Code.

1 D = dissolved; R = total residual; T = total; TR = total recoverable.

2 mg/l = milligrams per liter (parts per million); µg/l = micrograms per liter (parts per billion); s.u. = standard units; °F = degrees fahrenheit; °C = degrees celsius.

3 IMZM = inside mixing zone maximum; OMZM = outside mixing zone maximum; OMZA = outside mixing zone average.

4 This aquatic life habitat use designation is in effect only during the months of October to May.

5 For dissolved oxygen, OMZM means outside mixing zone minimum and OMZA means outside mixing zone minimum twenty-four-hour average.

6 These criteria are implemented by multiplying them by a translator approved by the director pursuant to rule 3745-2-04 of the Administrative Code.

7 These criteria apply in the absence of a translator approved by the director pursuant to rule 3745-2-04 of the Administrative Code.

8 These criteria are water hardness dependent. See table 35-9 of this rule.

9 These criteria are water pH dependent. See table 35-10 of this rule.

a This criterion is the same as that for the aquatic life use designation in effect June to September. See footnote 4.

b No chlorine is to be discharged.

c The dissolved oxygen minimum at any time criterion for modified warmwater habitats in the Huron/Erie lake plain ecoregion, as identified in rules 3745-1-08 to 3745-1-30 of the Administrative Code, is 2.5 mg/l.

d Equivalent 25°C specific conductance value is 2400 micromhos/cm.

e pH is to be 6.5 - 9.0, with no change within that range attributable to human-induced conditions.

f Acid mine drainage streams over sandstone geotype are exempt from the pH criterion.

g At no time shall the water temperature exceed the temperature which would occur if there were no temperature change attributable to human activities.

3IMZM = inside mixing zone maximum; OMZM = outside mixing zone maximum; OMZA = outside mixing zone average.

4These criteria are implemented by multiplying them by a translator approved by the director pursuant to rule 3745-2-04 of the Administrative Code.

5These criteria apply in the absence of a translator approved by the director pursuant to rule 3745-2-04 of the Administrative Code.

6Numeric criteria are presented at example water hardnesses. The equations can be used to calculate numeric criteria at any water hardness up to 400 mg/l CaCO3. "e" = the base e exponential function. "ln H" = the natural logarithm of the water hardness. The criteria at a water hardness of 400 mg/l CaCO3are used for water hardnesses above 400 mg/l CaCO3.
