The 303(d) list of impaired streams, published every 2 years by the WV DEP, is available for comment. The comment period began March 24 and ends May 7. The list of streams, and information on submitting comments, can be found at www.wvdep.org/wv303d.

Impaired streams are subject to a number of limitations, including more stringent NPDES permit limits. Every permitted discharger should check to see whether, and to what extent, it might be affected by the listings.
