Criteria expressed as annual means are arithmetic means and are not to be exceeded more than once in a three year period. For criteria expressed as long-term averages, the long-term average shall be based on data from the most recent seven-year period and shall not be exceeded. Criteria expressed as annual geometric means (AGM) are not be exceeded more than once in a three year period. For criteria expressed as not to be exceeded in more than 10 percent of the samples, the criteria shall be assessed over the most recent seven year period. Nutrient and nutrient response values do not apply to tidally influenced areas that fluctuate between predominantly marine and predominantly fresh waters during typical climatic and hydrologic conditions.
