(a) In all cold
water fisheries and/or drinking water supplies (Classes 1, 2AB, 2A and 2B), the
discharge of substances attributable to or influenced by the activities of man
shall not be present in quantities which would result in a turbidity increase
of more than ten (10) nephelometric turbidity units (NTUs).
(b) In all warm water or nongame fisheries
(Classes 1, 2AB, 2B and 2C), the discharge of substances attributable to or
influenced by the activities of man shall not be present in quantities which
would result in a turbidity increase of more than 15 NTUs.
(c) An exception to paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this section shall apply to:
(i) The North
Platte River from Guernsey Dam to the Nebraska line during the annual "silt
run" from Guernsey Dam; and
(ii)
Short-term increases of turbidity that have been determined by the
administrator to have only a minimal effect on water uses. Such determinations
shall be made on a case-by-case basis and shall be subject to whatever
controls, monitoring and best management practices are necessary to fully
maintain and protect all water uses. The procedures used to implement this
section are described in the Turbidity Implementation
Policy.
