On page 88326, in the table titled “Table 7: Alternative 1: Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Expressed as Concentration (mg/L)”, the table is corrected to appear as set forth below:
End PreambleTable 7—Alternative 1: Dissolved Oxygen Criteria Expressed as Concentration
[mg/L]
Season Water temperature (°C) Magnitude (mg/L) Duration Exceedance frequency Spawning and Larval Development (March 1–June 30) * 23.3 (14.7) * 5.6 (6.7) Daily Average 10% (12 Days Cumulative). Juvenile Development (July 1–October 31) + N/A 5.4 Daily Average 10% (12 Days Cumulative). + N/A 6.1 Daily Average 50% (61 Days Cumulative). Overwintering (November 1–February 28/29) * 12.4 (5.6) * 7.0 (8.3) Daily Average 10% (12 Days Cumulative). * The 90th percentile of seasonal water temperature and corresponding criterion is used for the main estimate, while the average water temperature and corresponding criterion is shown in parentheses. + Water temperature is not applicable during the Juvenile Development season because the criteria magnitudes are derived from the EPA's Atlantic Sturgeon cohort model, described in section IV.C.1 of this preamble.
