SUMMARY: Criteria to quantify aquatic life standards for Classes AA, A, B and C waters are defined in this chapter. The benthic macroinvertebrate community is used as a surrogate to determine conformance with statutory aquatic life standards, related statutory definitions, and statutory provisions for the implementation of biological water quality criteria, that are provided in Maine's standards for classification of fresh surface waters. Methods described in this chapter will be used to make decisions about classification attainment.
