The standards for each classification establish designated uses, related characteristics of those uses, criteria necessary to protect the uses, and specific conditions for certain activities such as the discharge of wastewater. The Water Classification system was formalized in 1965, and has gone through periodic updates and changes to the present day.", "summary": "Case studies: Examples of Maine Rivers which have experienced significant improvements in water quality since the institution of the state water classification system in 1964.
