    General Standards
    The General Standards listed below will protect the State’s
    water for aquatic life, agricultural use, primary and secon-
    dary contact use, and most industrial uses, and ensure the
    aesthetic quality of the State’s aquatic environment.
    Ex-
    cept as otherwise provided in this Chapter,
    all waters of
    the State shall meet the following standards:
    (a)
    Freedom from unnatural sludge or bottom deposits,
    floating debris, visible oil, odor,
    unnatural plant
    or algal growth, unnatural color or turbidity,
    or
    matter
    in concentrations or combinations toxic or
    harmful to human, animal,
    plant or aquatic life of
    other than natural origin.
    (b)
    pH
    (STORET number
    -
    00400)

    mg/l in any reservoir or lake with a surface area
    of 20 acres or more,
    or
    in any stream at the point
    where it enters any such reservoir or lake.
    For
    the purposes of this Rule 203(c)
    the term “reser-
    voir or lake” shall not include low level pools
    constructed
    in free flowing streams or any body
    of water which is an integral part of an operation
    which includes the application of sludge on land.
    Point source discharges which comply with Rule 407
    of this Chapter shall be in compliance with this
    Rule 203(c).
    (d)
    Dissolved oxygen
    (STORET number
    -
    00300)
    shall
    not be less than 6.0 mg/i during at least 16 hours
    of any 24 hour period, nor less than 5.0 mg/l at
    any time.
    (e)
    Radioactivity:
    (1)
    Gross beta (STORET number

    The owner or operator of a source of heated
    effluent which discharges
    0.5 billion British
    Thermal Units per hour
    (BTU/HR.)
    or more
    shall demonstrate in a hearing before this
    Board not less than five nor more than six

    (D)
    Backfitting of alternative cooling facilities

    affected by any heated effluent.
    (B)
    No heated effluent shall affect spawning
    grounds or fish migration routes.
    (C)
    Discharge structures shall
    be so designed
    as to maximize short—term mixing and thus to
    reduce the area significantly raised in
    temperature.
    (D)
    No discharge shall exceed ambient temperatures
    by more than 20°F.
    (E)
    Heated effluents from more than one source

    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 app~ea~eRule 205 water quality standards.
    The following are designated as Secondary Contact and
