Nebraska NDEQ Water Quality Standards Approved

EPA has approved new and revised Nebraska water quality standards to support recreational activities and protect aquatic life. Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality (NDEQ) established limits for toxic algae to protect human health and limits for certain organic compounds to protect aquatic life.

NDEQ submitted new and revised water quality standards to EPA for review and approval, as required by the Clean Water Act (CWA). The state reviewed scientific data and performed field studies to determine sufficient levels of protection for Nebraska’s waters.

All states are required to conduct a review of their water quality standards every three years and submit new or revised standards to EPA.
