BENEFICIAL USE IMPAIRMENTS
When human activity negatively interferes with the use or enjoyment of a water use, it’s called a Beneficial Use Impairment (BUI). This may include changes to the chemical, physical, or biological integrity of the ecosystem. The International Joint Commission (IJC) selected 14 BUIs to address common issues across all Areas of Concern (AOCs). BUIs must be restored through targeted restoration efforts to improve the ecological health of an AOC.
