The GLWMO assumes that those water bodies not <br />classified by BDWMO will be classified and managed by the affected city. The water body <br />classification categories are defined as follows: <br />Categ®ry I <br />Water bodies in this category have the highest best water quality and generally meet the <br />following water quality criteria: a minimum summer Secchi disk measurement of at least 1.0 <br />meters and a summer average of at least 1.4 meters, total phosphorus concentrations less than <br />45 ug/L, and chlorophyll a concentrations less than 20 ug/L. The Carlson TSI index should <br />be no greater than 55 to meet this management category. <br />Waters that meet these water quality limits are the most popular water bodies to the public. <br />They are typically used for direct contact recreational activities, including swimming, scuba <br />diving, snorkeling and water skiing. This classification could also include ecologically or <br />biologically unique resources, or water bodies that directly or indirectly affect such a <br />resource. <br />Grass_lake_class_system.doc Page 2 09/27/99 <br />
