Designated Use and Class Data by State Waterbody Report
|
|
Under the guidance and approval of the EPA, states must establish and define water quality standards in support of The Clean Water Act. Through this process, states develop water quality standards that consist of designated uses, beneficial uses, or classifications for all surface waters within their respective jurisdiction. Some states have mapped their respective water quality uses or classes to specific waterbodies within their jurisdiction. This report is a summary of designated use and class data that have been mapped to the National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) at a scale OF 1:100k. The user may select data for a particular state based on designated use(s) and search by waterbody Name(s).
