(a) Limits. The ground waters of the basin shall not contain substances or properties attributable to the activities of man in concentrations or amounts sufficient to endanger or preclude the water uses to be protected.
(1) Within this
requirement, the ground waters shall be free from substances or properties in
concentrations or combinations which are toxic or harmful to human, animal,
plant, or aquatic life, or that produce color, taste or odor of the
waters.
(2) Concentrations at any
point shall not be degraded by the activities of man to exceed values specified
by current U.S. Public Health Service Drinking Water Standards.
(b) Nondegradation of ground waters. It is the policy of the commission to prevent degradation of ground water quality. In implementing this policy, the commission will require the best water management determined to be practicable. No quality change will be considered which, in the judgment of the commission, may be injurious to any designated present or future ground or surface water use.
