This workbook provides guidance for those seeking to remove a designated use (such as might occur under a Use Attainability), or obtain a variance based n economic considerations, or to lower water quality in a high-quality water. In addition, it provides guidance to States and EPA regions responsible for reviewing requests for variances and modifications to designated uses, and for approval of antidegradation analyses. The guidance describes the types of information and analyses that should be considered by applicants and reviewers. The guidance, however, is not an exhaustive description of appropriate economic impact analyses. Additional information and tests may be necessary and/or in certain circumstances.
