34 <br />Class B: Fish, wildlife and other aquatic and semiaquatic life, and <br />other uses. A surface raw water source, suitable for the growth and propa- <br />gation of fish, other aquatic and semiaquatic life (both marine and freshwater) <br />waterfowl, fur bearers, and wildlife. This water-may be used for trout <br />habitat, warm water fish habitat, wildlife habitat, and other similar uses. <br />This water is also suitable for secondary water contact recreation, such as <br />fishing,. wading, boating, or activities where ingestion of the water is not <br />probable, or as a raw water source for public water supply, agricultural, <br />industrial, and navigational uses. <br />Excepted Class: Unable to meet either of the first two classifications <br />because of naturally occurring and /or manmade causes. <br />The water quality in each stream segment within the geographic unit <br />(ASA) will be further described in terms of the following categories: <br />o Meeting water quality standards. <br />o Effluent - limited class: any segment where water quality <br />is meeting and will continue to meet applicable water quality <br />standards or where there is adequate demonstration that <br />water quality will meet applicable water quality standards <br />after the application of the effluent limitations required <br />be sections 301 (b) (1) (A) and 301 (b) (1) (B) of the WPCAA <br />of 1972 (P. L. 92 -50). <br />o Water - quality - limited class: any segment where it is known <br />that water quality does not meet applicable water quality <br />standards, and is not expected to meet water quality standards <br />even after the application of the effluent limitations required <br />by sections 301 (b) (1) (A) and 301 (b) (1) (B) of the Act. <br />The types of pollutants and /or indicators of water quality that are <br />causing each stream segment or groups thereof to be classified as indicated <br />in the following will be described. An accompanying table will list the <br />i °iver -miles for each stream segment, the location of grouping of point sources <br />of pollution (municipal and /or industrial) and the type of waste, and the <br />major non point sources of pollution and the type of waste. <br />Near -term (1980 -1990) estimates of future water quality conditions <br />will be based upon current water quality conditions, projected population <br />growth, increased economic output, and needed additional treatment <br />capacity. No middle- or far -term estimates of water quality conditions <br />will be made. <br />
