    3.  Statute prescribing the procedure in accordance with the agency is required to adopt the rule: 119.03

    4.  Statute(s) authorizing agency to adopt the rule: 6111.041

    5.  Statute(s) the rule, as filed, amplifies or implements: 6111.041

    6.  State the reason(s) for proposing (i.e., why are you filing,) this rule:

    Page 2                                                                                         Rule Number: 3745-1-23

    The rule amendments update beneficial use designations for water bodies in the Portage River drainage basin based on the latest scientific information the Agency has gathered through water quality, biological, habitat, and other surveys. Specific water quality criteria are associated with each use designation and are the specific target conditions to be maintained in the water bodies. Together the use designations and criteria may be the basis for permit limits in wastewater discharge permits.

    Amendments to this rule are listed in Attachments A and B.

    8.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference and the agency claims the incorporation by reference is exempt from compliance with sections

    121.71 to 121.74 of the Revised Code because the text or other material is generally available to persons who reasonably can be expected to be affected by the rule, provide an explanation of how the text or other material is generally available to those persons:

    This rule contains references to the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC). While copies of these rules are generally available to the public through libraries and on-line sources, including the Ohio EPA website, Ohio Revised Code (ORC) section 121.76(A) exempts such references from the provisions of ORC sections

    121.71 through 121.75.

    9.  If the rule incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material electronically, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material electronically was infeasible:

    Not Applicable.

    10.  If the rule is being rescinded and incorporates a text or other material by reference, and it was infeasible for the agency to file the text or other material, provide an explanation of why filing the text or other material was infeasible:

    Not Applicable.

    11.  If revising or refiling this rule, identify changes made from the previously filed version of this rule; if none, please state so. If applicable, indicate each specific paragraph of the rule that has been modified:

    Not Applicable.

    12.  Five Year Review (FYR) Date: 7/13/2016

    Page 3                                                                                         Rule Number: 3745-1-23

    (If the rule is not exempt and you answered NO to question No. 1, provide the scheduled review date. If you answered YES to No. 1, the review date for this rule is the filing date.)

    NOTE: If the rule is not exempt at the time of final filing, two dates are required: the current review date plus a date not to exceed 5 years from the effective date for Amended rules or a date not to exceed 5 years from the review date for No Change rules.

    FISCAL ANALYSIS

    13.  Estimate the total amount by which this proposed rule would increase / decrease either revenues / expenditures for the agency during the current biennium (in dollars): Explain the net impact of the proposed changes to the budget of your agency/department.

    This will have no impact on revenues or expenditures.

    $0

    The rule amendments will neither increase nor decrease Ohio EPA revenues or expenditures during the current biennium.

    14.  Identify the appropriation (by line item etc.) that authorizes each expenditure necessitated by the proposed rule:

    Not Applicable.

    15.  Provide a summary of the estimated cost of compliance with the rule to all directly affected persons. When appropriate, please include the source for your information/estimated costs, e.g. industry, CFR, internal/agency:

    The rule amendments are not expected to have any impact on the cost of compliance. Costs of compliance with the currently effective rule vary among wastewater dischargers, based upon factors such as the type and quantity of pollutants discharged, the amount of dilution water available to mix with the discharge, and the amounts of pollutants in the dilution water. Rule 3745-33-07 of the Administrative Code allows the director to grant temporary variance from compliance with water quality criteria if attainment of the criteria is not feasible.

    16.  Does this rule have a fiscal effect on school districts, counties, townships, or municipal corporations? Yes

    You must complete Part B of the Rule Summary and Fiscal Analysis in order to comply

    Page 4                                                                                         Rule Number: 3745-1-23

    with Am. Sub. S.B. 33 of the 120th General Assembly.

    17.  Does this rule deal with environmental protection or contain a component dealing with environmental protection as defined in R. C. 121.39? Yes

    You must complete the Environmental rule Adoption/Amendment Form in order to comply with Am. Sub. 106 of the 121st General Assembly.

    S.B. 2 (129th General Assembly) Questions

    18.  Has this rule been filed with the Common Sense Initiative Office pursuant to

    R.C. 121.82? Yes

    19.  Specific to this rule, answer the following:

    A.) Does this rule require a license, permit, or any other prior authorization to engage in or operate a line of business? No

    B.) Does this rule impose a criminal penalty, a civil penalty, or another sanction, or create a cause of action, for failure to comply with its terms? No

    C.) Does this rule require specific expenditures or the report of information as a condition of compliance? No

    Ohio EPA Verified Water Body Use Designations June 10, 2016

    Most of the water bodies listed in the Ohio Administrative Code Chapter 3745-1 rules were designated Warmwater Habitat, Agricultural Water Supply, Industrial Water Supply and Primary Contact Recreation in 1978 as defaults because little real data were available.  Biological and water quality surveys conducted since then have enabled Ohio EPA to either verify those use designations or assign more accurate use designations. This document summarizes existing use designations already in rule that were verified through the results of biological and water quality surveys.

    Use designations assigned in 1978 are indicated with asterisks in the rules.  Use designations assigned based on the results of biological and water quality surveys are indicated with plus signs in the rules.  The symbols for the water bodies and use designations listed below are changed from asterisks to plus signs in the proposed rules.  These changes to the symbols do not have any effect on the applicable water quality standards for these water bodies.

    The page numbers listed below refer to page numbers in the amended rules.

    The use designations in this document are defined in paragraph (B) of rule 3745-1-07. The following acronyms are used within this document:

    AWS  = Agricultural Water Supply CWH Coldwater Habitat

    EWH  =  Exceptional Warmwater Habitat IWS  = Industrial Water Supply

    PCR = Primary Contact Recreation WWH  =  Warmwater Habitat
