What’s in it

§1251 – 1376. §1313) establishes water quality standards for states.7(b)(4)). Every two years, the department of natural resources (DNR) compiles a list of the state’s impaired waters (303(d) list) for approval by EPA.195). The bill provides that if, in compiling a 303(d) list, DNR determines that pollution is attributable to fecal bacteria, it must designate by percentage each species of animal, if any, that has contributed to the impairment.
