020-1 Wyo. Code R. § 1-27
(a) Primary Contact Recreation. In all waters designated for primary contact recreation, during the summer recreation season (May 1 through September 30), concentrations of E. coli bacteria shall not exceed a geometric mean of 126 organisms per 100 milliliters during any consecutive 60-day period. Primary contact waters are identified in the Wyoming Surface Water Classification List.
(b) Secondary Contact Recreation. In all waters designated for secondary contact recreation and in waters designated for primary contact recreation during the winter recreation season (October 1 through April 30), concentrations of E. coli bacteria shall not exceed a geometric mean of 630 organisms per 100 milliliters during any consecutive 60-day period. Waters will be designated for secondary contact recreation through the reclassification and use attainability analysis process outlined in Sections 33 and 34 of these regulations. Secondary contact waters are identified in the Wyoming Surface Water Classification List.
(c) Single-sample Maximum Concentrations. During the summer recreation season, on all waters designated for primary contact recreation, the following single-sample maximum concentrations of E. coli bacteria shall apply: Single-sample maximum values may be used to post recreational use advisories in public recreation areas and to derive single-sample maximum effluent limitations on point source discharges. An exceedance of the single-sample maxima shall not be cause for listing a water body on the State 303(d) list or development of a TMDL or watershed plan. The appropriate recreational use category (i through iv, above) shall be determined by the administrator as needed, on a case by case basis. In making such a determination, the administrator may consider such site-specific circumstances as type and frequency of use, time of year, public access, proximity to populated areas and local interests.
