“Secondary Contact and Indigenous Aquatic Life Waters

Secondary Contact and Indigenous Aquatic Life Waters

are those waters not suited for general use activities

but which will be appropriate

 for all secondary contact

uses and which will be capable of supporting

 an indigenous

aquatic

 life limited only by the physical configuration

of the body of water,

 characteristics and origin of the

water and the presence of contaminants

 in amounts that

do not exceed the Rule 205 water quality standards.

The following are designated as Secondary Contact and

Indigenous Aquatic Life Waters:

(a)

 The Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal;

(b)

 The Calumet

 Sag Channel;

(c)

 The Little Calumet River from its junction with

the Grand Calumet River to the Cabumet

—

Sag

Channel;

(d)

 The Grand Cabumet River;

(e)

 The Calumet River;

(f)

 Lake Cabumet;

(g)

 The South Branch of the Chicago River;

(h)

 The North Branch of the Chicago River from its

confluence with the North Shore Channel

 to its

confluence with the South Branch;

(i)

 The DesPlaines River from its confluence with the

Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal to the Interstate

55 bridge;

and

(j)

 The North Shore Channel, except that dissolved

oxygen in said Channel

 shall be not less than

5

mg/b during 16 hours

 of any

 24 hour period, nor

less than

 4 mg/b at any time.

Additions

 or deletions

 to the above

 list are governed

by Part II of Chapter

1:

 Procedural Rules.”

 Rule 404 shall read as follows:

“Deoxygenating Wastes

Except as provided in Rule 602 of this Chapter, all

effluents containing deoxygenating wastes shall meet

the following standards:

 shall not

exceed 37 mg/b of suspended solids.

(b)
