NR 102.14 NR 102.14Taste and odor criteria.
NR 102.14(1)(1)At certain concentrations, substances may not be toxic to humans, but may impart undesirable taste or odor to water or aquatic organisms ingested by humans. The taste and odor criterion is derived to prevent substances from concentrating in surface waters or accumulating in aquatic organisms to a level which results in undesirable tastes or odors to human consumers.
NR 102.14(2) (2)The taste and odor criterion is derived as follows:
NR 102.14(2)(a) (a) For substances which impart tastes and odors to waters, the taste and odor criterion shall equal that threshold concentration (TCw) below which objectionable tastes or odors to human consumers do not occur. Threshold concentrations for substances imparting tastes and odors to water are listed in Table 1. - See PDF for table PDF
NR 102.14(2)(b) (b) For substances which impart tastes or odors to aquatic organisms, the taste and odor criterion shall be calculated as follows:
TOC = TC1
BAF - See PDF for table PDF
NR 102.14(2)(c) (c) The lower of the taste and odor criteria derived as specified in pars. (a) and (b) is applicable to surface waters classified as public water supplies. The taste and odor criteria derived as specified in par. (b) are applicable to cold water and warm water sport fish communities.
NR 102.14(2)(d) (d) Threshold concentrations for substances imparting tastes or odors to water (TCw) other than those listed in Table 1 and threshold concentrations for substances imparting tastes or odors to aquatic organisms (TCf) shall be selected by the department using its best professional judgment.

NR 102.22(2) (2)“cfs" means cubic feet per second, usually pertaining to stream or effluent flow.
NR 102.22(3) (3)“Cold shock" means exposure of aquatic organisms to a rapid decrease in temperature and a sustained exposure to low temperature that induces abnormal behavioral or physiological performance and may lead to death.
NR 102.22(4) (4)“Daily maximum temperature" means the highest allowed water temperature for a calendar day, outside a mixing zone allowed in this subchapter.
NR 102.22(5) (5)“Great Lakes" means the open Wisconsin waters of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Green Bay and Chequamegon Bay, as well as adjoining open waters that exhibit characteristics of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Green Bay or Chequamegon Bay, or in other ways are determined by the department to be equivalent to these waters.
NR 102.22(6) (6)“Maximum weekly average temperature" means the highest allowed arithmetic mean of all daily maximum temperatures during a calendar week, outside mixing zone allowed in this subchapter.
NR 102.22(7) (7)“mgd" means million gallons per day.
NR 102.22(8) (8)“Sub-lethal effects" means effects resulting in inadequate gonad development, gamete production and viability, spawning or growth.
