| Description |
In September 2012, the Washington State Department of Ecology (Ecology) began formal rule-making to adopt new human health criteria in the Water Quality Standards for Surface Waters of the State of Washington, Chapter 173-201A WAC. The state's water quality standards are important because they guide how the state regulates water pollution. The human health criteria help keep Washington's waters healthy for fish and shellfish to protect people who eat them. |
