000202 , '\ a stream violated most, or ,,11 of the quality criteria while an B, 9, or 10 would indicate that the quality of water is npproach- inp. the standards but fails to meet them for all of the criteria.) 5. Extent to which reservoirs and/or natur"l lakes not meeting standards fail to meet standards. 6. Extent to which stream reaches meeting standards are above standards. (A rating of 0, 1 or 2 would indicate that a stream reach meets standards and to a small degree is better than required by the standards. A rating of 8, 9, or 10 would indicate that water quality is,to a high degree, better than required by standards.) 7. Extent to which reservoirs and/or natural lakes meeting standards are above standards. 8. Extent to which desired or existing uses are limited by water quality. (Consider irrigation, municipal and industrial water Aupply, recreation, etc.) (C) Human influe_nce factors: 1. Extent to which use has an adverse effect on water quality. 2. ~fuere pollution occurs, the extent to which technology is available to meet water quality standards. 3. Extent to whieh water is available for beneficial uses such as irrigation, water supply, etc. (Consider overapnropriation, water laws, water compacts, etc.) 4.4.15 Air Quality This category includes the chemical, physical and biological aspects of ail'. Of highest quality would be air that is free from chemicals or . . I materials that adversely affect man. (A) Quantity factors: l. Type, number, and quantity of each air pollution source. Identify fossil fuel powerplants, smelters, tepee burners and other sources of air pollution. Include data on plant capacities (megawatts, tons/day or year), quantities of pollutantn emitted' (oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, trace elements, etc.). 2. Approximate area in square miles where air does not meet standards. (Indicate which criteria contained in the standards are violated.) 3. Approximate area in square miles where air meets standards. 4-33
