Section 57.24. Water quality protection
Latest version.
-
Water quality must not be adversely affected by the hydrodevelopment. Water leaving the hydrodevelopment tailrace must have oxygen levels comparable to the oxygen levels in the free flowing streams just above the tailrace. This may require the developer to monitor the stream oxygen levels and provide aeration equipment to increase the tailrace oxygen level to approximate that found in the upstream waters. Other water quality parameters shall also be protected.
