NR 102.12(1)(1) The Great Lakes system includes all the surface waters within the drainage basin of the Great Lakes. NR 102.12(2)(2) For the purpose of administering ch. NR 207 and consistent with chs. NR 105 and 106, the waters identified in sub. (1) are to be protected from the impacts of persistent, bioaccumulating toxic substances by avoiding or limiting to the maximum extent practicable increases in these substances. NR 102.12(3)(3) The waters of the Lake Superior basin shall be managed to prevent any new or increased discharges of the following pollutants: DDT, DDE and metabolites, chlordane, toxaphene, hexachlorobenzene, 2,3,7,8 TCDD, octachlorostyrene, mercury and PCB’s. For purposes of administering ch. NR 207, new or increased discharges of these pollutants shall be prohibited unless the applicant certifies at time of application, that the new or increased discharge is necessary after utilization of best technology in process or control using waste minimization, pollution prevention, municipal pretreatment programs, material substitution or other means of commercially available technologies which have demonstrated capability for similar applications.

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. 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
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.
