Water Quality Standards (WQS) Workgroup
The WQS Workgroup is comprised of 16 members representing various interests. The purpose of this workgroup is to assist the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) in developing a formal protocol for the triennial review process and to provide input during the development of changes to the water quality standards as part of this review process. The DWQ expects to initiate the rule-making process for revising water quality standards in early 2008. For additional information, please contact:
