One purpose of this chapter is to specify how the department will calculate water quality based effluent limitations under s. 283.13 (5), Stats., for toxic and organoleptic substances and whole effluent toxicity. The other purpose of this chapter is to specify how the department will decide if and how these limitations will be included in Wisconsin pollution discharge elimination system (WPDES) permits. Water quality based effluent limitations for toxic and organoleptic substances are needed to assure attainment and maintenance of surface water quality standards as established in accordance with s. 281.15 (1), Stats., and as set forth in chs. NR 102 to 105. NR 106.01 HistoryHistory: Cr. Register, February, 1989, No. 398, eff. 3-1-89; correction made under s. 13.93 (2m) (b) 7., Stats., Register October 2002 No. 562.
