The Pollution Control Board adopted amendments to 35 Ill. Code r. 303, Water Use Designations and Site-Specific Water Quality Standards. The amendments establish a 3.0 milligram per liter (mg/L) alternative boron standard to the generally applicable 1.0 mg/L boron water quality standard. The alternative standard for boron applies to certain segments of an unnamed tributary to the South Branch of the Edwards River, the South Branch of the Edwards River, and the Mud Creek Run. http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/index/register/register_volume33_issue35.pdf p. 12258-262.
