Assessed Beaches, Minnesota, 2022

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
This is a set of the beaches assessed by MPCA's surface water quality assessment process for the 2022 303(d)/305(b) integrated report to EPA. These beaches are a subset of the 1:24,000 scale National Hydrography Dataset (NHD). This dataset includes impaired beaches which may or may not yet have a TMDL plan approved by the US EPA as well as beaches that support their designated uses, and those that had insufficient information to render a support judgment.
These data are intended to be used for planning, informational, and cartographic purposes related to surface water quality in Minnesota.

These data have been audited to ensure every beach included in the 305(b) submission to EPA has a corresponding feature in this dataset, and that the use judgments are consistent between this spatial dataset and the assessment database as of the publication date.
These data contain a feature for every beach in the 305(b) inventory of assessed waters. High-resolution NHD is the primary dataset from which these features are drawn. If no feature exists in the NHD, MPCA staff will digitize a feature.

Positive real numbers that are automatically generated.
AUID: The Assessment Unit Identifier - a unique identifier for each water unit in the assessment system.
NAME: Name of the feature associated with the AUID.
LOC_DESC: The beginning and end points of the beach in NAD 83 Decimal Degrees.
USE_CLASS: Use class per MN statute 7050.0470.
WATER_SIZE: The length of the reach in miles, according to the National Hydrography Dataset.
AQR: Aquatic Recreation Assessment
FS: Fully Supporting aquatic recreation use.
IF: Insufficient Information for an assessment.
NS: Not Supporting aquatic recreation use.
None: Has not been assessed for aquatic recreation use.
AQR_CAT: The consolidated assessment and listing methodology (CALM) category for the Aquatic Recreation use.
AQR_LAST_A(Y): The most recent year the waterbody was assessed for Aquatic Recreation use.
Possible CALM category values include:
2: Waterbody’s assessed designated uses are fully supported, the designated use is fully supported, or parameter meets standards.
3: Data insufficient or inconclusive to assess.
4A: Impaired and a TMDL study has been approved by USEPA.
4B: Impaired but a TMDL study is not required because water quality standards are expected to be met in the near future.
4C: Impaired but a TMDL study is not required because the impairment is not caused by a pollutant.
4D: Impaired or threatened but does not require a TMDL because impairment is solely a result of natural
sources.
4E: Impaired but existing data strongly suggests a TMDL study is not required because impairment is not caused by a pollutant or is due to natural conditions with only insignificant anthropogenic influence; a final determination of Category 4C or 4D will be made in the next assessment cycle pending confirmation from additional information.
5: Impaired and TMDL study has not been approved by USEPA.
None: Has not been assessed for the designated use. Not a CALM category.
HUC_8: The code of the 8 digit watershed that the feature is primarily associated with.
