Section 117-7-002 - Application of Standards to Wetlands
Current through March 20, 2024
002.01 These standards apply to all natural wetlands and all artificial wetlands except as provided in paragraph 002.02. Numerical criteria which rely on water in order to be measured, will not be deemed applicable during periods when water is not present.
002.02 These standards do not apply to artificial wetlands constructed for the purpose of wastewater treatment, wastewater retention, or irrigation reuse. However, any discharge to surface waters from artificial wetlands constructed for these purposes is to meet the applicable standards for the receiving water.
002.03 Wastewater from domestic, municipal, or industrial sources authorized by NPDES permits to discharge to wetlands are to meet all applicable standards for the wetland. No mixing zones will be allowed within wetlands.
