(a) For the purpose of this plan, the following beneficial uses for the waters of the YIR have been established. Water bodies within the YIR which do not have beneficial uses designated for them innately maintain beneficial uses for wildlife habitat (WLD). Many of these creeks include essential habitat for amphibians, macroinvertebrates and other aquatic and/or riparian flora and fauna. These include the many smaller creeks and drainages including but not limited to the following: China, Coon, Devil’s, Dry Gulch, Knulthkarn, Lewis Gulch, Little Surpur, Muddy, No Name, One Mile, Panther, Patrick, Pularvasar, Quetep, Saint’s Rest, Scaath, Stawein, Tarwae, and Worthia Creeks. These habitat designations in no way affect the presence or absence of other beneficial use designations in these water bodies.

(b) Table 2 below displays the beneficial uses for surface waters that are present on the YIR. An “X” indicates the beneficial use either currently exists, or has the potential to exist, or historically existed and may be restored. Protection will be afforded to these beneficial uses of surface waters of the YIR listed in Table 2 below.
