Sec. 230.76  Actions affecting human use.

    Minimization of adverse effects on human use potential may be 
achieved by:
    (a) Selecting discharge sites and following discharge procedures to 
prevent or minimize any potential damage to the aesthetically pleasing 
features of the aquatic site (e.g. viewscapes), particularly with 
respect to water quality;
    (b) Selecting disposal sites which are not valuable as natural 
aquatic areas;
    (c) Timing the discharge to avoid the seasons or periods when human 
recreational activity associated with the aquatic site is most 
important;
    (d) Following discharge procedures which avoid or minimize the 
disturbance of aesthetic features of an aquatic site or ecosystem;
    (e) Selecting sites that will not be detrimental or increase 
incompatible human activity, or require the need for frequent dredge or 
fill maintenance activity in remote fish and wildlife areas;
