Utah’s Approach to New
WQ Criteria for Ammonia
Utah Division of Water Quality
Water Quality Standards Workgroup
July 21, 2014
Slide 2
Utah’s Approach
Receiving Waters with
Current UPDES permits
Evaluate whether new
ammonia criteria would be
exceeded
(informational only)
Phase I: Determine
whether sensitive
species are present
(genus level)
Present – adopt new
ammonia criteria
Not present – discuss
phase 2 research to
determine if present
historically
Historical presence or
probability of
occurrence using
spatial statistical
models; Potential
teaming with other
states
Non-Receiving
Waters
Evaluate whether new
ammonia criteria
would be exceeded
(informational only)
Adopt new
ammonia
criteria
New UPDES
permitees
could do
research in
support of site-
specific
standard
when/if
necessary
Scoping
 Recalculation scenarios for presence/absence of sensitive species
 Presence of families with sensitive species using existing data
 Potential impacts on POTWs

Sensitive mussels and snails
present and salmonids absent
per USEPA (2013)
24 48
Salmonids and snails present
and sensitive mussels absent
per USEPA (2013)
29 58.43
Salmonids and sensitive snails
present but no sensitive
mussels2
Golden Shiner, Pebblesnail,
Lost River sucker, Mountain
whitefish
30 60.23
Salmonids present but no
sensitive mussels or snails2
Shortnose sucker, Golden
Shiner, Lost River sucker,
Mountain whitefish
38 74
Snails present but no sensitive
mussels or salmonids per
USEPA (2013)
2These were recalculated by DWQ by backing out the described species to show the potential impact of sensitive
snails on the ammonia criterion. The difference observed between the values provided in the USEPA criteria document
and these recalculated values requires further evaluation. The recalculations assume 7 pH and 20o C and that all
genus mean acute values are above the 5th percentile
1Current acute standard is 24 mg/L at 7 pH for Class 3A

Gastropod families in Utah that
include sensitive species
 Hydrobidae: mud snails/spring snails
Valvatidae: valve snails Found in streams and lakes in northern Utah
 Ancylidae (tribe in family Planorbidae):
snails/limpets

Bivalve families in Utah that

Corbiculidae: Asian clamsFound in streams and lakes in northern Utah
 Pisididae: pill clams

Slide 11
Determining Presence
of Sensitive Mollusks
 Species occur at site if…
 Are usually present at the site.
 Are present at the site only seasonally due to migration.
 Are present at the site intermittently because they
periodically return to or extend their ranges into the site
 Were present at the site in the past, are not currently
present at the site due to degraded conditions, but are
expected to return to the site when conditions improve.
 Are these sensitive mollusks present today?
 Historical records
 Field surveys
 eDNA

Utah's Approach to New Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia

  • 1. Utah’s Approach to New WQ Criteria for Ammonia Utah Division of Water Quality Water Quality Standards Workgroup July 21, 2014
  • 2. Slide 2 Utah’s Approach Receiving Waters with Current UPDES permits Evaluate whether new ammonia criteria would be exceeded (informational only) Phase I: Determine whether sensitive species are present (genus level) Present – adopt new ammonia criteria Not present – discuss phase 2 research to determine if present historically Historical presence or probability of occurrence using spatial statistical models; Potential teaming with other states Non-Receiving Waters Evaluate whether new ammonia criteria would be exceeded (informational only) Adopt new ammonia criteria New UPDES permitees could do research in support of site- specific standard when/if necessary Scoping  Recalculation scenarios for presence/absence of sensitive species  Presence of families with sensitive species using existing data  Potential impacts on POTWs
  • 3. Slide 3 Recalculated Acute Ammonia Criteria Scenarios Criteria1 (mg TAN/L) Final Acute Value (mg TAN/L) Scenario Species Used for Final Acute Value 17 33.85 Sensitive mussels and snails present and salmonids absent per USEPA (2013) 24 48 Salmonids and snails present and sensitive mussels absent per USEPA (2013) 29 58.43 Salmonids and sensitive snails present but no sensitive mussels2 Golden Shiner, Pebblesnail, Lost River sucker, Mountain whitefish 30 60.23 Salmonids present but no sensitive mussels or snails2 Shortnose sucker, Golden Shiner, Lost River sucker, Mountain whitefish 38 74 Snails present but no sensitive mussels or salmonids per USEPA (2013) 2These were recalculated by DWQ by backing out the described species to show the potential impact of sensitive snails on the ammonia criterion. The difference observed between the values provided in the USEPA criteria document and these recalculated values requires further evaluation. The recalculations assume 7 pH and 20o C and that all genus mean acute values are above the 5th percentile 1Current acute standard is 24 mg/L at 7 pH for Class 3A

  • 10. Slide 11 Determining Presence of Sensitive Mollusks  Species occur at site if…  Are usually present at the site.  Are present at the site only seasonally due to migration.  Are present at the site intermittently because they periodically return to or extend their ranges into the site  Were present at the site in the past, are not currently present at the site due to degraded conditions, but are expected to return to the site when conditions improve.  Are these sensitive mollusks present today?  Historical records  Field surveys  eDNA
