TAYLOR, D. L., D. NORTON, AND P KAUFMANN. FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING SUSPENDED AND BEDDED SEDIMENT (SABS) WATER QUALITY CRITERIA: STEP 4 - DEFINE POTENTIAL RANGES IN VALUE OF THE SABS AND RESPONSE INDICATORS, AND CLASSIFICATION OF WATERBODIES USING AN EMPIRICAL APPROACH. Presented at Workshop for Developing Suspended and Bedded Sediment Water Quality Criteria, Arlington, VA, November 01 - 02, 2007.
Impact/Purpose:
To develop a process that states, tribes, and regions can use to create scientifically defensible SABS criteria.
Description:
After reviewing existing water quality criteria and consulting stakeholders, EPA developed a process that states, tribes, and regions can use to develop scientifically defensible SABS criteria. The process is flexible, can be adapted to utilize existing data sets, and can be geared to individual situations.
