Use Attainability Analysis (UAAs)

Use Attainability Analysis

A use attainability analysis (UAA), by definition in the water quality standards, is a structured scientific assessment of the factors affecting the attainment of the use, which may include physical, chemical, biological and economic factors.

Anyone may perform a UAA and submit it to the department for review at any time. Performing a UAA will help determine whether or not a use designation is appropriate for a particular water body.
