| Pollutant: |
Sedimentation/Siltation |
| Final Listing Decision: |
Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list) |
| Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision: |
Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2006) |
| Revision Status |
Original |
| Reason for Delisting: |
Flaws in original listing |
| Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: |
Pollutant |
| |
| Weight of Evidence: |
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category. This conclusion is based on the staff findings that the original listing basis is faulty due to a lack of data to support the listing. |

| RWQCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: |
This is a decision made by the State Water Resources Control Board and approved by the USEPA in 2006 . No new data were assessed by the Regional Board for 2008. The decision has not changed. |

| Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
These listings were based on best professional judgment after staff observed turbid water in an irrigation channel that diverts water from the mainstem West Walker River into Topaz Lake. No data or other information was provided. The irrigation channel was mistakenly identified as the West Walker River, resulting in its listing (in error) for sedimentation as well. The West Walker River remained on the list following the extreme flood event of 1997, due to concerns over potential impacts from flooding.
The basis of this listing is faulty due to lack of data. Regional Board staff is not aware of evidence to indicate current water quality standards exceedances or beneficial use impacts related to this listing. |
