Abstract

EPA published the final selenium criterion on July 13, 2016. In the final criterion EPA recommended that states and authorized tribes adopt into WQS one selenium criterion composed of four elements: two fish tissue elements (i.e., egg-ovary and whole-body and/or muscle) and two water column elements (i.e., 30-day average and intermittent exposure). Because this is the first fish tissue-based aquatic life criterion, EPA has developed documents to assist in the implementation of this criterion. The technical support materials cover water quality standards adoption, NPDES permitting, waterbody assessment and 303(d) listing, and fish tissue monitoring.
