860.21 Zone C4.
(a) Description.
Zone C4 is that part of White Clay Creek extending from RM 14.7 at the Pennsylvania-Delaware state line to its mouth on the Christina River in Delaware at RM 10.0.
(b) Water uses to be protected.
The quality of zone C4 waters shall be maintained in a safe and satisfactory condition for the following uses:
(1)
(i) public water supplies after reasonable treatment;
(ii) industrial water supplies after reasonable treatment; and
(iii) agricultural water supplies;
(2)
(i) maintenance and propagation of resident game fish and other aquatic life;
(ii) wildlife; and
(3) recreation.
(c) Stream quality objectives.
(1) Dissolved oxygen:
(i) not less than 4.0 mg/l at any time; and
(ii) minimum 24-hour average of 5.0 mg/l.
(2) Temperature.
Except in designated heat dissipation areas (see section 861.12[f][5] of this Title):
(i) not to exceed 5°F (2.8°C) rise above ambient temperature until stream temperature reaches 87°F (30.6°C); and
(ii) natural temperature will prevail above 87°F (30.6°C).
(3) pH.
Between 6.0 and 8.5
(4) Phenols.

(8) Fecal coliform.
Not to exceed 200 per 100 milliliters as a geometric average; samples shall be taken at such frequency and location as to permit valid interpretation.
(9) Total dissolved solids.
Not to exceed:
(i) 133 percent of background; or
(ii) 500 mg/l, whichever is less.
(10) Turbidity.
(i) Not to exceed:
(a) the natural background by 10 units; or
(b) a maximum of 25 units, whichever is less.
(ii) Increases not to be attributable to industrial waste discharges.
