West Squaw Creek, Shasta County
Use Attainability Analysis was conducted to demonstrate the current beneficial uses assigned to West Squaw Creek, a stream heavily impacted by acid mine drainage, are not achievable. Specifically, the stream cannot support fish and other pH or metal sensitive aquatic species and spawning of selected fish species defined in the Basin Plan. A Staff Report including the proposed amendments and CEQA functional equivalent document was presented to the Regional Board on 9 July 2004. The Regional Board adopted Resolution R5-2004-0090 which included the UAA, Staff Report, Functional Equivalent Document and proposed amendments. The amendments do not become effective until accepted by the State Board, Office of Administrative Law, and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. For additional information, contact Philip V. Woodward, Senior Engineering Geologist at (530) 224-4853 or email at: pwoodward@waterboards.ca.gov.
