Waters that fail to meet anti-degradation standards are placed on which list?

  1. F404 List

  2. 303D List

  3. 305B List

  4. 401 List

The correct answer is: 303D List

The correct choice is the 303(d) list, which is specifically designed to identify water bodies that do not meet applicable water quality standards, including anti-degradation criteria. This list is part of the Clean Water Act and requires states to develop and implement a plan to address the pollution in these impaired waters. The waters listed on the 303(d) list receive increased regulatory attention and are prioritized for restoration efforts through Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) or other corrective actions. This highlights the importance of monitoring water quality and taking steps to improve conditions in affected waters, ensuring that they meet the designated uses established by antidegradation standards. The other options pertain to different aspects of water quality assessments or regulatory frameworks, but they do not specifically include the designation of waters failing to meet anti-degradation standards.
