Part IX. River Basin Section Tables
9VAC25-260-360. Section number and description columns.
A. Basin descriptions. The tables that follow divide the state's surface waters into 10 river basins, some with subbasins: Potomac River Basin (Potomac and Shenandoah Subbasins), James River Basin (Appomattox River Subbasin), Rappahannock River Basin, Roanoke River Basin, Yadkin River Basin, Chowan and Dismal Swamp Basin (Chowan and Albemarle Sound Subbasins), Tennessee and Big Sandy Basins (Big Sandy, Clinch and Holston Subbasins), Chesapeake Bay, Atlantic Ocean and Small Coastal Basin, York River Basin and New River Basin. (See Figure 2.)
Figure 2.
Each basin is further divided into sections. Each section is assigned a class, represented by Roman Numerals I through VII, based on its geographic location or, in the case of trout waters, on its use. Descriptions of these classes are found in 9VAC25-260-50.
B. Potomac water supplies (raw water intakes). The Leesburg and County of Fairfax intakes in the Potomac are in Maryland waters and the board cannot adopt the public water supply criteria in 9VAC25-260-140 B to apply at the raw water intake points. However, applications to discharge into, or otherwise alter the physical, chemical, or biological properties of Virginia waters within an area five miles upstream of the intake will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis to ensure that they will protect the water supply. Basin sections where this would be applicable are shown with an asterisk (*) in the basin and section description columns.

9VAC25-260-370. Classification column.
A. DO, pH and temperature criteria. The classification column defines the class of waters to which the basin section belongs in accordance with the class descriptions given in 9VAC25-260-50. 9VAC25-260-50 defines the state's seven classes (I through VII) and the dissolved oxygen (DO), pH and maximum temperature that apply to each class. By finding the class of waters for a basin section in the classification column and referring to 9VAC25-260-50, the DO, pH and maximum temperature criteria can be found for each basin section.
B. DGIF trout waters. The Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) has established a classification system for trout waters based on aesthetics, productivity, resident fish population and stream structure. Classes i through iv rate wild trout habitat; Classes v through viii rate cold water habitat not suitable for wild trout but adequate for year-round hold-over of stocked trout. The DGIF classification system is included in this publication with the board's trout water classes (Class V—Stockable trout waters and Class VI—Natural trout waters) in the class column of the River Basin Section Tables 9VAC25-260-390 et seq.
DGIF trout water classifications which are not consistent with board classifications for stockable trout waters or natural trout waters are shown with a double asterisk (**) in the class column of the River Basin Section Tables 9VAC25-260-390 et seq. These trout waters have been identified for reevaluation by the DGIF. Those trout waters which have no DGIF classification are shown with a triple asterisk (***). The DGIF classes are described below. Inclusion of these DGIF classes provides additional information about specific streams for permit writers and other interested persons. Trout waters classified as classes i or ii by the DGIF are also recognized in 9VAC25-260-110.
DGIF STREAM CLASS DESCRIPTIONS.
Wild natural trout streams.
Class i. Stream of outstanding natural beauty possessing wilderness or at least remote characteristics, an abundance of large deep pools, and excellent fish cover. Substrate is variable with an abundance of coarse gravel and rubble. Stream contains a good population of wild trout or has the potential for such. Would be considered an exceptional wild trout stream.
Class ii. Stream contains a good wild trout population or the potential for one but is lacking in aesthetic quality, productivity, and/or in some structural characteristic. Stream maintains good water quality and temperature, maintains at least a fair summer flow, and adjacent land is not extensively developed. Stream would be considered a good wild trout stream and would represent a major portion of Virginia's wild trout waters.
Class iii. Stream which contains a fair population of wild trout with carrying capacity depressed by natural factors or more commonly man-related landuse practices. Land use activities may result in heavy siltation of the stream, destruction of banks and fish cover, water quality degradation, increased water temperature, etc. Most streams would be considered to be in the active state of degradation or recovery from degradation. Alteration in landuse practices would generally improve carrying capacity of the stream.
Class iv. Stream which contains an adequately reproducing wild trout population but has severely reduced summer flow characteristics. Fish are trapped in isolated pools where they are highly susceptible to predators and fishermen. Such streams could quickly be over-exploited and, therefore, provide difficult management problems.
Stockable trout streams.
Class v. Stream does not contain an adequately reproducing wild trout population nor does it have the potential for such. However, water quality is adequate, water temperature is good, and invertebrate productivity is exceptional. Pools are abundant with good size and depth and fish cover is excellent. Stream would be good for stocked trout but may offer more potential for a fingerling stocking program.
Class vi. Stream does not contain a significant number of trout nor a significant population of warmwater gamefish. Water quality is adequate and water temperature good for summer carryover of stocked trout. Summer flow remains fair and adjacent land is not extensively developed. All streams in this class would be considered good trout stocking water.
Class vii. Stream does not contain a significant number of trout nor a significant population of warmwater gamefish. Water quality and temperature are adequate for trout survival but productivity is marginal as are structural characteristics. Streams in this class could be included in a stocking program but they would be considered marginal and generally would not be recommended for stocking.
Class viii. Stream does not contain a significant number of trout nor a significant population of warmwater gamefish. Water quality and temperature are adequate for trout but summer flows are very poor (less than 30% of channel). Streams in this class can provide good trout fishing during spring and early summer but would not be recommended for summer or fall stocking.
Other. Remaining streams would be considered unsuitable for any type of trout fishery. Streams would be considered unsuitable under any of the following conditions:
(a) summer temperatures unsuitable for trout survival;
(b) stream contains a significant population of warmwater gamefish;
(c) insufficient flow; or
(d) intolerable water quality.

9VAC25-260-380. Special standards column.
A. Bacteria criteria. All surface waters have criteria for fecal coliform bacteria. The bacteria criteria for shellfish waters are set forth in 9VAC25-260-160; the criteria applying to recreational waters are found in 9VAC25-260-170. The letter "a" in the special standards column next to a river basin section indicates that there are shellfish waters somewhere within that section and the bacteria criteria for shellfish waters applies to those shellfish waters. (It should be noted that even though the column contains the letter "a" the entire section may not be shellfish waters.)
B. Natural variation. In some cases natural water quality does not fall within the criteria set by these standards. (For example streams in some areas of the state may naturally exceed the usual pH range of 6.0 to 9.0.) In these instances the board may have set more appropriate criteria that reflect natural quality, and this special limit is shown in the special standards column.
C. Additional requirements. In other cases the basic water quality parameters of DO, pH, temperature, and bacteria have not been sufficient to protect water quality in certain areas, and effluent limits or treatment requirements have been established for these areas. This fact is also indicated in the special standards column. If the applicable standard was too long to print in its entirety in that column, the column contains only a lower case letter, and the standard itself will be found in the special standards 9VAC25-260-310 under that letter.
D. Other special standards or designations.
1. Public water supplies (PWS). Sections that are public water supplies are indicated in the special standards column with a PWS. This designation indicates that additional criteria are applicable in this section. See 9VAC25-260-140 B for applicable criteria. Taste and odor criteria to maintain acceptable taste, odor or aesthetic quality of drinking water apply at the drinking water intake.
2. Nutrient enriched waters (NEW). If a section contains a waterbody that has been designated as nutrient enriched in 9VAC25-260-350, the special standards column indicates this with the letters "NEW-" followed by a number. The appropriate waterway can be found listed in 9VAC25-260-350. The entire section is not necessarily nutrient enriched, only that portion specifically listed in 9VAC25-260-350.
3. Exceptional state waters (ESW). If a section contains a waterbody that has been designated as exceptional state waters in 9VAC25-260-30 A 3 the special standard column indicates this with ESW followed by a number. The appropriate waterway can be found listed in 9VAC25-260-30 A 3 c. The entire section within the basin table is not necessarily designated as exceptional state waters, only that portion specifically listed in 9VAC25-260-30 A 3 c.
4. If a section contains a waterbody that has been assigned a special standard (indicated by lower case letters in the special standards column), the appropriate waterway can be found listed in 9VAC25-260-310. The special standard does not necessarily apply to the entire section, only that portion specifically listed in 9VAC25-260-310.
