In this document, you will find that the performance standards have been reworded. We hope these shortened statements will give some meaning to the numbers and letters of the standards as you refer to the tables. While every attempt has been made to preserve the intent of the standards, you should always consult the original wording [Exit DNR] for clarification, reference, and further correlations.
