Less restrictive uses than those currently designated for particular waters listed in § § 93.9a—93.9z may be adopted when it is demonstrated that the designated use is more restrictive than the existing use, the use cannot be attained by implementing effluent limits required under sections 301(b) and 306 of the Federal Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C.A. § § 1311(b) and 1316) or implementing cost-effective and reasonable BMPs for nonpoint source control, and one or more of the following conditions exist:
(1) Naturally occurring pollutant concentrations (natural quality) prevent the attainment of the use.
(2) Natural, ephemeral, intermittent or low flow conditions or water levels prevent the attainment of the use, unless these conditions may be compensated for by the discharge of sufficient volume of effluent discharges without violating State water conservation requirements to enable uses to be met.
(3) Human caused conditions or sources of pollution prevent the attainment of the use and cannot be remedied or would cause more environmental damage to correct than to leave in place.
(4) Dams, diversions or other types of hydrologic modifications preclude the attainment of the use, and it is not feasible to restore the water body to its original condition or to operate the modification in a way that would result in the attainment of the use.
(5) Physical conditions related to the natural features of the water body, such as the lack of a proper substrate, cover, flow, depth, pools, riffles, and the like, unrelated to water quality, preclude attainment of aquatic life uses.

§ 93.4c. Implementation of antidegradation requirements.
(a) Existing use protection.
(1) Procedures.
(i) Existing use protection shall be provided when the Department’s evaluation of information (including data gathered at the Department’s own initiative, data contained in a petition to change a designated use submitted to the EQB under § 93.4d(a) (relating to processing of petitions, evaluations and assessments to change a designated use), or data considered in the context of a Department permit or approval action) indicates that a surface water attains or has attained an existing use.
(ii) The Department will inform persons who apply for a Department permit or approval which could impact a surface water, during the permit or approval application or review process, of the results of the evaluation of information undertaken under subparagraph (i).
(iii) Interested persons may provide the Department with additional information during the permit or approval application or review process regarding existing use protection for the surface water.
(iv) The Department will make a final determination of existing use protection for the surface water as part of the final permit or approval action.
(2) Endangered or threatened species. If the Department has confirmed the presence, critical habitat, or critical dependence of endangered or threatened Federal or Pennsylvania species in or on a surface water, the Department will ensure protection of the species and critical habitat.
(b) Protection of High Quality and Exceptional Value Waters.
(1) Point source discharges. The following applies to point source discharges to High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters.
(i) Nondischarge alternatives/use of best technologies.
(A) A person proposing a new, additional or increased discharge to High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters shall evaluate nondischarge alternatives to the proposed discharge and use an alternative that is environmentally sound and cost-effective when compared with the cost of the proposed discharge. If a nondischarge alternative is not environmentally sound and cost-effective, a new, additional or increased discharge shall use the best available combination of cost-effective treatment, land disposal, pollution prevention and wastewater reuse technologies.
(B) A person proposing a new, additional or increased discharge to High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters, who has demonstrated that no environmentally sound and cost-effective nondischarge alternative exists under clause (A), shall demonstrate that the discharge will maintain and protect the existing quality of receiving surface waters, except as provided in subparagraph (iii).
(ii) Public participation requirements for discharges to High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters. The following requirements apply to discharges to High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters, as applicable:
(A) The Department will hold a public hearing on a proposed new, additional or increased discharge to Exceptional Value Waters when requested by an interested person on or before the termination of the public comment period on the discharge.
(B) For new or increased point source discharges, in addition to the public participation requirements in § § 92a.81, 92a.82, 92a.83 and 92a.85, the applicant shall identify the antidegradation classification of the receiving water in the notice of complete application in § 92a.82 (relating to public notice of permit applications and draft permits).
(iii) Social or economic justification (SEJ) in High Quality Waters. The Department may allow a reduction of water quality in a High Quality Water if it finds, after full satisfaction of the intergovernmental coordination and public participation provisions of the Commonwealth’s continuing planning process, that allowing lower water quality is necessary to accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which the waters are located. A reduction in water quality will not be allowed under this subparagraph unless the discharger demonstrates that the High Quality Water will support applicable existing and designated water uses (other than the high quality and exceptional value uses) in § 93.3, Table 1 (relating to protected water uses).
(2) Nonpoint source control. The Department will assure that cost-effective and reasonable best management practices for nonpoint source control are achieved.
(c) Special provisions for sewage facilities in High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters.
(1) SEJ approval in sewage facilities planning and approval in High Quality Waters. A proponent of a new, additional, or increased sewage discharge in High Quality Waters shall include an SEJ impact analysis as part of the proposed revision or update to the official municipal sewage facilities plan under Chapter 71 (relating to administration of sewage facilities planning program). The Department will make a determination regarding the consistency of the SEJ impact analysis with subsection (b)(1)(iii). The determination will constitute the subsection (b)(1)(iii) analysis at the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit review stage under Chapter 92a (relating to National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permitting, monitoring and compliance), unless there is a material change in the project or law between sewage facilities planning and NPDES permitting, in which case the proponent shall recommence sewage facilities planning and perform a new social or economic justification impact analysis.
(2) SEJ for sewage facilities in High Quality Waters correcting existing public health or pollution hazards. A sewage facility, for which no environmentally sound and cost-effective nondischarge alternative is available under subsection (b)(1)(i)(A), proposed to discharge into High Quality Waters, which is designed for the purpose of correcting existing public health or pollution hazards documented by the Department, and approved as part of an official plan or official plan revision under § 71.32 (relating to Department responsibility to review and act upon official plans), satisfies the SEJ requirements in subsection (b)(1)(iii).
(3) Public participation requirements for official sewage facilities plans or revisions to official plans in High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters. A proponent of a sewage facility in High Quality or Exceptional Value Waters seeking approval of an official plan or revision shall comply with the public participation requirements in § 71.53(d)(6) (relating to municipal administration of new land development planning requirements for revisions).

Notes of Decisions The Department of Environmental Resources was not required to consider the economic consequences to a discharger in establishing water quality based effluent limitations in a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. Mathies Coal Co. v. Department of Environmental Resources, 559 A.2d 506, 511 (Pa. 1989).
The water quality criteria do not preclude the allowance of a reasonable mixing zone if there is no significant effect on the ambient temperature of the stream outside the mixing zone. Bartram v. Parrish, 74 Pa. D. & C.2d 627, 649 (1974).
WATER QUALITY CRITERIA
§ 93.6. General water quality criteria
(a) Water may not contain substances attributable to point or nonpoint source discharges in concentration or amounts sufficient to be inimical or harmful to the water uses to be protected or to human, animal, plant or aquatic life.
(b) In addition to other substances listed within or addressed by this chapter, specific substances to be controlled include, but are not limited to, floating materials, oil, grease, scum and substances that produce color, tastes, odors, turbidity or settle to form deposits.
Authority The provisions of this § 93.6 amended under sections 5(b)(1) and 402 of The Clean Streams Law (35 P.S. § § 691.5(b)(1) and 691.402); and section 1920-A of The Administrative Code of 1929 (71 P.S. § 510-20).
Source The provisions of this § 93.6 amended March 10, 1989, effective March 11, 1989, 19 Pa.B. 968; amended November 17, 2000, effective November 18, 2000, 30 Pa.B. 6059; amended February 11, 2005, effective February 12, 2005, 35 Pa.B. 1197. Immediately preceding text appears at serial page (272025).
Notes of Decisions Denial of an application for a mine drainage permit cannot be based solely on the ground that the watershed has been designated a conservation area, but must be reviewed on the basis of whether its proposed operation would discharge an effluent which would result in the degradation of the water quality of a stream in terms of its protected uses designated under this section. Doraville Enterprises v. Commonwealth, 73 Pa. D. & C.2d 635, 645, 646 (1975)
The water quality criteria do not preclude the allowance of a reasonable mixing zone if there is no significant effect on the ambient temperature of the stream outside the mixing zone. Bartram v. Parrish, 74 Pa. D. & C.2d 627, 649 (1974).

* Critical Use: The designated or existing use the criteria are designed to protect. More stringent site-specific criteria may be developed to protect other more sensitive, intervening uses.
(b) For naturally reproducing salmonids, protected early life stages include embryonic and larval stages and juvenile forms to 30 days after hatching. The DO1 standard for naturally reproducing salmonid early life stages applies October 1 through May 31. The DO1 standard for naturally reproducing salmonid early life stages applies unless it can be demonstrated to the Department’s satisfaction, that the following conditions are documented: 1) the absence of young of the year salmonids measuring less than 150 mm in the surface water; and 2) the absence of multiple age classes of salmonids in the surface water. These conditions only apply to salmonids resulting from natural reproduction occurring in the surface waters. Additional biological information may be considered by the Department which evaluates the presence or absence of early life stages.
(c) The list of specific water quality criteria does not include all possible substances that could cause pollution. For substances not listed, the general criterion that these substances may not be inimical or injurious to the existing or designated water uses applies. The Department will develop a criterion for any substance not listed in Table 3 that is determined to be inimical or injurious to existing or designated water uses using the best available scientific information, as determined by the Department.
(d) If the Department determines that natural quality of a surface water segment is of lower quality than the applicable aquatic life criteria in Table 3 or 5, the natural quality shall constitute the aquatic life criteria for that segment. All draft natural quality determinations will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin and be subject to a minimum 30-day comment period. The Department will maintain a publicly available list of surface waters and parameters where this subsection applies, and will, from time to time, submit appropriate amendments to § § 93.9a—93.9z.

Notes of Decisions The Department of Environmental Resources is not required to consider the economic consequences to a discharger in establishing water-quality based effluent limitations in a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Permit. Mathies Coal Company v. Department of Environmental Resources, 559 A.2d 506 (Pa. 1989).
The water quality standards in 25 Pa. Code § 93.7 are to be considered only as one of the major factors in developing discharge limitations, and neither these standards nor effluent limitations based on them in case-by-case DER determinations require a presumption of validity.

§ 93.8a. Toxic substances.
(a) The waters of this Commonwealth may not contain toxic substances attributable to point or nonpoint source waste discharges in concentrations or amounts that are inimical to the water uses to be protected.
(b) Water quality criteria for toxic substances shall be established as described under Chapter 16 (relating to water quality toxics management strategy—statement of policy). The Department will develop water quality criteria for toxic substances not listed in Chapter 93, Table 5 in accordance with § 93.8d (relating to development of site-specific water quality criteria) and Chapter 16. The Department will maintain a publicly available online table of site-specific human health and aquatic life criteria that have been recently developed or adopted by the Department based on approved methodologies and the best scientific information currently available. For any analytical procedures or detection limits that are not EPA approved, the approved analytical procedures and detection limits for these substances will also be listed in Chapter 16. Chapter 16, along with changes made to it, is hereby specifically incorporated by reference.
(c) Water quality criteria for toxic substances which exhibit threshold effects will be established by application of margins of safety to the results of toxicity testing to prevent the occurrence of a threshold effect.
(d) Nonthreshold carcinogenic effects of toxic substances, will be controlled to a risk management level of one excess case of cancer in a population of 1 million (1 x 10-6) over a 70-year lifetime. Other nonthreshold effects of toxic substances will be controlled at a risk management level as determined by the Department.
(e) Water quality criteria for toxics shall be applied in accordance with Chapter 96 (relating to water quality standards implementation) and any other applicable State and Federal laws and regulations. For carcinogens, the design conditions shall result in a lifetime—70 years—average exposure corresponding to the risk management level specified in subsection (d).
(f) The Department will consider both the acute and chronic toxic impacts to aquatic life and human health.
(g) The Department may consider synergistic, antagonistic and additive toxic impacts.
(h) The Department will periodically, but at least once every 3 years, review, revise as necessary, and publish new or revised water quality criteria for toxic substances, and revised procedures for criteria development in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
(i) A person challenging criteria established by the Department under this section shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that the criteria does not meet the requirements of this section. In addition, a person who proposes an alternative site-specific criterion shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that the site specific criterion meets the requirements of this section.

§ 93.8c. Human health and aquatic life criteria for toxic substances.
(a) Table 5 and the table of site-specific criteria maintained by the Department list the aquatic life and human health criteria for toxic substances which the Department uses in development of effluent limitations in NPDES Permits and for other purposes. The human health criteria, which include probable modes of exposure (such as, but not limited to ingestion from drinking water and fish consumption, inhalation and dermal absorption), are further defined as to the specific effect (that is, cancer or threshold health effects). For those aquatic life criteria which are a function of local water quality conditions and are specified as a formula, such as several of the heavy metals, the values used for the local water quality condition to derive the appropriate water quality criteria shall be determined by instream measurements or best estimates based on reference waters that are representative of the median concentrations or conditions of the receiving water for the applicable time period and design conditions. Instream measurements for the water quality condition will be gathered using Department data collection protocols. The priority pollutants are a set of specific chemical pollutants regulated by EPA. The priority pollutant numbers (PP NO) used by the EPA to identify priority pollutants are included in Table 5 for reference purposes. The toxics without a PP NO are nonpriority pollutants or State-derived criteria.
(b) Some of these criteria may be superseded for the Delaware Estuary, Ohio River Basin, Lake Erie Basin, and Genesee River Basin under interstate and international compact agreements with the Delaware River Basin Commission, Ohio River Valley Sanitation Commission and International Joint Commission, respectively. Water quality criteria for the Great Lakes System are contained in § 93.8e (relating to special criteria for the Great Lakes System) and Table 6 (relating to Great Lakes Aquatic Life and Human Health Criteria). Criteria in Table 5 may apply to the Great Lakes System for those substances not listed in Table 6. Criteria may be developed for the Great Lakes System for substances other than those listed in Tables 5 and 6, under the methodologies in § 16.61 (relating to special provisions for the Great Lakes system).

§ 93.8d. Development of site-specific water quality criteria.
(a) The Department will consider a request for site-specific criteria when one or more of the following apply:
(1) There exist site-specific biological or chemical conditions of receiving waters which differ from conditions upon which the water quality criteria were based.
(2) More stringent criteria are needed for a parameter listed in § 93.7 (relating to specific water quality criteria) to protect more sensitive, intervening uses.
(3) There exists a need for a site-specific criterion for a substance not listed in § 93.8c, Table 5 (relating to water quality criteria for toxic substances).
(b) The request for site-specific criteria must include the results of scientific studies for the purpose of:
(1) Defining the areal boundaries for application of the site-specific criteria which will include the potentially affected wastewater dischargers identified by the Department, through various means, including, but not limited to, the total maximum daily load (TMDL) process described in Chapter 96 (relating to water quality standards implementation) or biological assessments.
(2) Developing site-specific criteria which protect the surface water’s existing and designated uses.
(c) Scientific studies shall be performed in accordance with the procedures and guidance in the Water Quality Standards Handbook (EPA 1994), as amended and updated, including: ‘‘Guidance on the Determination and Use of Water-Effect Ratios for Metals’’ (February 1994); and the ‘‘Methodology for Deriving Ambient Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Human Health’’ (2000). Other guidance approved by the department, which is based on EPA-approved or scientifically defensible methodologies, may be used. The development of new or updated site-specific criteria for copper in freshwater systems shall be performed using the biotic ligand model (BLM).
(d) Prior to conducting studies specified in subsections (b) and (c), a proposed plan of study shall be submitted to the Department for review, consideration and approval.
(e) Signed copies of all reports including toxicity test data shall be submitted to the Department within 60 days of completion of the tests.
(f) If the Department determines that site-specific criteria are appropriate in accordance with subsection (a), the Department will do the following:
(1) Publish the site-specific criterion in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, along with other special conditions under § 92a.82(b)(3) (relating to public notice of permit applications and draft permits) and provide for public participation and public hearing in accordance with § § 92a.81, 92a.82, 92a.83 and 92a.85.
(2) Maintain a publicly available online table of site-specific criteria.
(3) Submit the methodologies used for site-specific criteria development to the EPA’s Regional Administrator for review and approval, within 30 days of Department’s final action.
(4) Prepare a recommendation to the EQB in the form of proposed rulemaking, incorporating that criterion for the water body segment.
(g) If the Department determines that new Statewide criteria or modifications to Statewide criteria are appropriate, the Department will prepare a recommendation to the EQB in the form of proposed rulemaking, incorporating the criteria into this chapter. The new criteria and changes to the criteria will become effective following adoption by the EQB as final rulemaking and publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
(h) A person challenging a Department action under this section shall have the burden of proof to demonstrate that the Department’s action does not meet the requirements of this section.

Notes of Decisions In General
Regulations contemplate that the Department will evaluate the degree to which phosphorus contributes to the impairment designated uses on a case-by-case basis and may impose more stringent limitations where necessary. Neshaminy Water Resources Authority v. Department of Environmental Resources, 513 A.2d 979, 981 (Pa. 1986).
Judicial Review
Petition filed under Commonwealth Court’s original jurisdiction, challenging new regulations which removed specific numeric phosphorus content limits in favor of evaluation by a general model, was premature since petitioner would ‘‘not suffer direct and immediate harm which would render the statutory administrative review, process inadequate.’’ Neshaminy Water Resources Authority v. Department of Environmental Resources, 513 A.2d 979, 981 (Pa. 1986).
Regulations removing specific numeric phosphorus content limits in favor of evaluation by a general model must be challenged on a case-by-case basis by individual phosphorus discharges; said challenges do not cause direct and immediate harm to a petitioner and are deemed more efficient than judicial speculation as to how the Department will implement amended regulations. Neshaminy Water Resources Authority v. Department of Environmental Resources, 513 A.2d 979, 981 (Pa. 1986).
Since amended regulations provided that existing point sources of phosphorus would continue to operate at current levels and since the amended regulations also provided for DER evaluation of effects of phosphorous on a case-by-case basis with the likelihood that more stringent limitations would be imposed, the impact of the new regulations on petitioner was uncertain, not direct and immediate, thereby precluding exercise of the court’s equitable jurisdiction. Neshaminy Water Resources Authority v. Department of Environmental Resources, 498 A.2d 1000, 1002 (Pa. Commw. 1985).
Although court had jurisdiction under Declaratory Judgement Act to consider a preenforcement challenge to new regulations, the court declined to do so because it remained to be seen how the Department would apply the regulations to phosphorus discharges in Petitioner’s area. Neshaminy Water Resources Authority v. Department of Environmental Resources, 498 A.2d 1000 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1985).
Quality Water
Where a body of water is designated ‘‘high quality’’ under this section, that fact together with the provisions of 25 Pa. Code § 95.1(b) demand that the permit holder developer and the Department be the parties responsible for justifying the permit after evidence has been presented showing the likelihood of environmental harm. Marcon, Inc. v. Department of Environmental Resources, 462 A.2d 969 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1983).
