IMPAIRED FOR THE DRINKING WATER SUPPLY USE. STANDARD THAT APPLIES FOR WHITE ROCK CREEK SULFATE TMDL DOCUMENT: 250 MILLIGRAMS PER LITER FOR DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY. IN STREAM SEGMENTS WHERE BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS OF NATURALLY OCCURRING SUBSTANCES, INCLUDING CHLORIDES, SULFATES AND SELENIUM, EXCEED THE WATER QUALITY CRITERIA LISTED IN TABLE 1A OF KAR 28-16-28E(D), AT AMBIENT FLOW, THE EXISTING WATER QUALITY SHALL BE MAINTAINED, AND THE NEWLY ESTABLISHED NUMERIC CRITERIA SHALL BE THE BACKGROUND CONCENTRATION, AS DEFINED IN KAR 28-16-28B(E). BACKGROUND CONCENTRATIONS SHALL BE ESTABLISHED USING THE METHODS OUTLINED IN THE ¿KANSAS IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES: SURFACE WATER,¿ DATED JUNE 1, 1999... (KAR 28-16-28E(B)(9)). THE LOADING CAPACITY HAS BEEN CALCULATED AT VARIOUS FLOW CONDITIONS AND IS LOCATED IN TABLE 8 WITHIN THE TMDL DOCUMENT. AS AN EXAMPLE, AT THE MEAN FLOW OF 29.3 CUBIC FEET PER SECOND, THE LC IS 39,555 POUNDS PER DAY OF SULFATE. NUMERIC TARGET(S): DESIGNATED USES FOR THE WHITE ROCK CREEK WATERSHED INCLUDE: FOR WHITE ROCK CREEK (45) AND KORB CREEK (72): PRIMARY CONTACT RECREATION ¿C¿ (STREAM SEGMENT IS NOT OPEN TO AND ACCESSIBLE BY THE PUBLIC UNDER KANSAS LAW); EXPECTED AQUATIC LIFE SUPPORT; DOMESTIC WATER SUPPLY; FOOD PROCUREMENT; GROUND WATER RECHARGE; INDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLY; IRRIGATION USE AND LIVESTOCK WATERING.
