 | KRC recommended also that Individual ORSANCO member states should likewise be required to evaluate the excess nutrient loadings into the Ohio River from their rivers, and to develop plans to implement appropriate instream standards and effluent limits on phosphorus and other nutrients to achieve lower loadings in the Ohio River and its tributaries. |
 | KRC appreciates ORSANCOs commitment to development of numerical biological criteria for the Ohio, and for the methodology for using that criteria to determine attainment of the narrative biological standard. |
 | ORSANCO must assume that many more people would choose to recreate in the Ohio River were it cleaner, rather than lowering the threshold for compliance and in so doing, perpetuating the current unhealthy conditions after rainfall events that hamper such use. |
