§ 93.2. Scope.
(a) This chapter sets forth water quality standards for surface waters of this
Commonwealth, including wetlands. These standards are based upon water uses
which are to be protected and will be considered by the Department in implementing its authority under The Clean Streams Law and other statutes that authorize protection of surface water quality. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed
to diminish or expand the authority of the Department to regulate surface water
quality as authorized by statute.
(b) When an interstate or international agency under an interstate compact or
international agreement establishes water quality standards regulations applicable
to surface waters of this Commonwealth, including wetlands, more stringent than
those in this title, the more stringent standards apply.

(b) Less restrictive uses. 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.

(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

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

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

* 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.

WATER QUALITY STANDARDS
25 § 93.8
(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. Lucas v. Department
of Environmental Resources, 420 A.2d 1 (Pa. Cmwlth. 1980).

§ 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. Appendix A, Table 1A in Chapter 16 lists 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. 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 × 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.
(j) The requirements for discharges to and antidegradation requirements for
the Great Lakes System are as follows:
(1) Definitions. The following words and terms, when used in this section,
have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
BAF—Bioaccumulation Factor—The ratio in liters per kilogram of a substance’s concentration in tissues of an aquatic organism to its concentration in
the ambient water, when both the organism and its food are exposed and the
ratio does not change substantially over time.
BCC—Bioaccumulative Chemical of Concern—A chemical that has the
potential to cause adverse effects which, upon entering the surface waters, by
itself or its toxic transformation product, accumulates in aquatic organisms by
a human health BAF greater than 1,000, after considering metabolism and
other physiochemical properties that might enhance or inhibit bioaccumulation,
under the methodology in 40 CFR Part 132 Appendix B (relating to Great
Lakes Water Quality Initiative). Current BCCs are listed in 40 CFR 132.6,
Table 6.A (relating to pollutants of initial focus in the Great Lakes Water Quality Initiative).
Great Lakes System—The streams, rivers, lakes and other bodies of surface
water within the drainage basin of the Great Lakes in this Commonwealth.
Open Waters of the Great Lakes—The waters within the Great Lakes in this
Commonwealth lakeward from a line drawn across the mouth of the tributaries
to the lakes, including the waters enclosed by constructed breakwaters, but not
including the connecting channels.
(2) Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs). TMDLs for Open Waters of the
Great Lakes shall be derived following the procedures in 40 CFR Part 132,
Appendix F, Procedure 3.D (relating to Great Lakes Water Quality Initiative
implementation procedures).
(3) Statewide antidegradation requirements in this chapter and Chapter 96
(relating to water quality standards implementation) and in the Federal regulation in 40 CFR 131.32(a) (relating to Pennsylvania) as applicable, apply to all
surface waters of the Great Lakes System.
(4) If, for any BCC, the quality of the surface water exceeds the levels
necessary to support the propagation of fish, shellfish and wildlife and recreation in and on the waters, that quality shall be maintained and protected,
unless the Department finds that allowing lower water quality is necessary to
accommodate important economic or social development in the area in which
the surface water is located.

§ 93.8c. Human health and aquatic life criteria for toxic substances.
(a) Table 5 and Chapter 16, Appendix A, Table 1A (relating to site-specific
water quality criteria for toxic substances) 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 hardness related and
specified as a formula, such as several of the heavy metals, the Department will
use the specific hardness of the receiving stream after mixing with the waste discharge in calculating criteria on a case-by-case basis. 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. The criteria in Table 5 do not apply to the Great Lakes System.
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 may be developed for
the Great Lakes System for substances other than those listed in § 93.8e under
the methodologies in § 16.61 (relating to special provisions for the Great Lakes
system).

Acronyms and Footnotes to Table 5
* Indicates dissolved metal criterion; others are total recoverable metals. Each
listed dissolved criterion in Table 5 is equal to the corresponding total recoverable criterion before rounding (from the EPA National Ambient Water Quality
Criteria Documents) multiplied by the conversion factor (from the Conversion
Factors Table); a criterion that is expressed as a hardness (H)-based equation is
shown in Table 5 as the conversion factor (listed) multiplied by the hardness criterion equation; an example criterion at hardness=100mg/L is included.
CAS—Chemical Abstract Service number
CRL—Cancer risk level at 1 × 10-6
H—Threshold effect human health criterion; incorporates additional uncertainty factor for some Group C carcinogens.
ln [H]—Natural Logarithm of the Hardness of stream as mg/l CaCO3
ug/L—Micrograms per liter
N/A—Criterion not developed
PP NO—Priority Pollutant Number

§ 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 other EPA-approved or
scientifically defensible methodologies, may be used.
(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 publicly available lists 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.

25 § 93.9
DESIGNATED WATER USES AND WATER QUALITY CRITERIA
§ 93.9. Designated water uses and water quality criteria.
(a) The tables in §§ 93.9a—93.9z display designated water uses and water
quality criteria in addition to the water uses and criteria specified in Tables 2 and
3. Designated uses shall be protected in accordance with Chapters 95 and 96
(relating to wastewater treatment requirements; and water quality standards
implementation) and any other applicable State and Federal laws and regulations.
The tables also indicate specific exceptions to Tables 2 and 3 on a stream-bystream or segment-by-segment basis by the words ‘‘add’’ or ‘‘delete’’ followed by
the appropriate symbols described elsewhere in this chapter. The county column
in §§ 93.9a—93.9z indicates the county in which the mouth of the stream or the
downstream limit of the zone described for that entry is located. Abbreviations
used in the Stream and the ‘‘Zone’’ columns are as follows:
FAS—Federal Aid Secondary Highway
I—Interstate Highway
LR—Pennsylvania Legislative Route
RM—River Mile; river miles are used to indicate the distance from a point on
the waterbody to its mouth and are based on the DEP’s River Mile Index
SR—Pennsylvania State Route
T—Township Road
UNT—Unnamed Tributaries
US—United States Federal Route
(b) When appropriate, ‘‘Exceptions to Specific Criteria’’ provide reference to
the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) water quality regulations,
Orsanco (Ohio River Valley Water Sanitation Commission) pollution control standards and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) which specify the
criteria that apply if a water quality standard is more stringent than those in this
title. The applicable criteria can be obtained from the following:

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

Pt. I
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).
