WQCC 24-46 (R) Outstanding National Resource Waters, 20.6.4.9.D NMAC

An Outstanding National Resource Water (ONRW) is a stream, lake, or wetland that receives special protection against future degradation under New Mexico’s Standards for Interstate and Intrastate Surface Waters (Surface Water Quality Standards or WQS), codified at 20.6.4 New Mexico Administrative Code (NMAC). This designation affords the highest protection of water quality under the State’s antidegradation policy and mirrors the protections established under federal regulations at 40 C.F.R. § 131 and the federal Clean Water Act (CWA). For more information about the list of nominated waters and rulemaking process please visit the 2024 ONRW or WQCC Docketed Matters webpage. The WQCC will hold a public hearing on December 10, 2024 to consider the list of waters proposed by the New Mexico Environment Department for ONRW designations.
