{"abstract":"EPA is proposing to establish a designated use for a segment of Five Mile Creek in Alabama. If this proposal is promulgated as final, the Federal designated use will supersede the State's designated use that EPA disapproved in 1986 and 1991. EPA disapproved the State's designated use because it is inconsistent with the Clean Water Act and EPA's implementing regulations. Specifically, EPA is proposing a designated use for the protection of fish and wildlife.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY","name":"Environmental Protection Agency","id":145,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/environmental-protection-agency","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/145","parent_id":null,"slug":"environmental-protection-agency"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2002/10/23/02-26845.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":131,"title":40}],"citation":"67 FR 65256","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2002-12-23","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"EPA will accept public comments on this proposed rule until December 23, 2002.
