CALL TO ORDER
RULEMAKING HEARINGS
Docket 25-3101
Water Quality Division proposes revisions to Chapter 1 that (1) make the rules more clear, concise, and consistent with state and federal law, regulations, and guidance; (2) revise designated uses and remove bundled designated use classification system so that designated uses can be applied separately to Surface Waters of the State; (3) provide minor updates to a few water quality criteria to incorporate advancements in scientific understanding of the conditions necessary to protect designated uses in Wyoming; and (4) fulfill Clean Water Act requirements to review surface water quality standards at least once every three years. Water Quality Division proposes revisions to Chapter 2 to address specific changes to Chapter 1 and include: (1) removing references to the bundled classification system that is being removed from Chapter 1; and (2) incorporating provisions related to fish toxicants, aquatic pesticides, and short-term sediment disturbances (including turbidity), that were removed from Chapter 1 because they address discharges to surface waters and are not water quality standards.
