Resumen

The Department of Natural and Environmental Resources recognizes that water pollution is detrimental to public health and welfare, creates public nuisances, is harmful to wildlife, fish and other aquatic life, and impairs domestic, agricultural, industrial, recreational and other beneficial uses of the waters. It is the goal of this Department, and these rules, to preserve, maintain and enhance the quality of the waters of Puerto Rico in such manner that they are compatible with the social and economic needs of Puerto Rico. The purpose of this Regulation is to: (1) designate the uses for which the quality of the water bodies of Puerto Rico shall be maintained and protected; (2) promulgate the water quality standards required to sustain the designated uses; (3) identify other rules and regulations applicable to sources of pollution that may affect the quality of the waters subject to this Regulation and (4) establish other measures necessary for achieving and maintaining the quality of the waters of Puerto Rico.
