309	309	F. shall assign responsibility for administering
310	310	its regulations to constituent agencies so as to assure
311	311	adequate coverage and prevent duplication of effort. To this
312	312	end, the commission may make such classification of waters and
313	313	sources of water contaminants as will facilitate the assignment
314	314	of administrative responsibilities to constituent agencies.
315	315	The commission shall also hear and decide disputes between
316	316	constituent agencies as to jurisdiction concerning any matters
317	317	within the purpose of the Water Quality Act. In assigning
318	318	responsibilities to constituent agencies, the commission shall
319	319	give priority to the primary interests of the constituent
320	320	agencies. The department of environment shall provide
321	321	technical services, including certification of permits pursuant
322	322	to the federal act, and shall maintain a repository of the
323	323	scientific data required by the Water Quality Act;
