The Kansas Department of Health and Environment will hold a public hearing on proposed revisions to K.A.R. 28-16-28g, Kansas Surface Water Quality Standards. The proposed revisions identify the designated use changes for 731 stream segments and 71 lakes as a result of "use attainability analysis" findings. Four stream segments are proposed for deletion from the Kansas Surface Water Register; one stream segment has been rerouted and combined to form one segment; 19 stream segments are proposed for secondary contact recreation; 18 stream segments are proposed for primary contact recreation; and 726 stream segments added or changed designated use assignments for aquatic life support use, food procurement, domestic water supply, industrial water supply, livestock watering irrigation, and groundwater recharge. The hearing will be May 7, 2009. http://www.kssos.org/pubs/register%5C2009%5CVol_28_No_10_March_5_2009_p_225-256.pdf p. 235.
