| 98-22202 | Notice of Ambient Water Quality Criteria | Notice | Pursuant to Section 304(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the publication and availability of a document 1998 Update of Ambient Water Criteria for Ammonia, and requests comment on this document. The document contains EPA's recommended ammonia criteria for the protection of freshwater aquatic life. These criteria are EPA's recommendations for States, Territories, and authorized Tribes to use as guidance in adopting water quality standards. Such standards may form the basis for establishing enforceable, water quality-based controls. These water quality criteria are not regulations, and do not impose legally-binding requirements on EPA, States, Territories, Tribes or the public. States, Territories and authorized Tribes on a case-by-case basis retain the discretion to adopt water quality standards that differ from these recommendations where appropriate. Although EPA is requesting comment on this document, these criteria constitute the Agency's current recommended Section 304(a)(1) criteria, and will continue to serve as such until EPA publishes a revision. Based on its assessment of public comments and other available information, EPA will either publish a revision to the guidance or will publish a notice indicating its decision not to revise. | 1998-08-18 | 1998 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/1998/08/18/98-22202/notice-of-ambient-water-quality-criteria | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-1998-08-18/pdf/98-22202.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | Pursuant to Section 304(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announces the publication and availability of a document 1998 Update of Ambient Water Criteria for Ammonia, and requests comment on this document.
