Section 117-5-001

Beneficial uses are assigned to each designated segment in the basin tables. The water quality criteria in Chapter 4 associated with the assigned uses are applicable to each segment. These criteria are also applicable to segment tributaries, as necessary, to protect a segment's assigned uses if the tributary is not a designated segment. Assigned uses also apply to lakes and impounded waters located on designated segments unless those lakes or impounded waters are identified in Chapter 6. Lakes and impounded waters referenced in this Chapter are protected for beneficial uses as listed in Chapter 6.
