020-1 Wyo. Code R. § 1-9

Current through April 27, 2019
Section 1-9 - Mixing Zones

Except for acute whole effluent toxicity (WET) values and Sections 14, 15, 16, 17, 28 and 29(b) of these regulations, compliance with water quality standards shall be determined after allowing reasonable time for mixing. Except for the zone of initial dilution, which is the initial 10% of the mixing zone, the mixing zone shall not contain pollutant concentrations that exceed the aquatic life acute values (see Appendix B). In addition, there shall be a zone of passage around the mixing zone which shall not contain pollutant concentrations that exceed the aquatic life chronic values (see Appendix B). Under no circumstance may a mixing zone be established which would allow human health criteria (see Appendix B) to be exceeded within 500 yards of a drinking water supply intake or result in acute lethality to aquatic life. The procedures used to implement this section are described in the Mixing Zones and Dilution Allowances Implementation Policy.
