Weight of Evidence: This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.6 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.6 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. A sufficient number of the sediment samples show toxicity.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Thirty six of 74 samples show toxicity, and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy.
4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
 
RWQCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded.
 
SWRCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.

TMDL Name: Newport Bay Watershed Fecal Coliform TMDL
TMDL Project Code: 150
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA: 02/28/2000
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Weight of Evidence: This pollutant is being considered for removal on the section 303(d) list under sections 2.2 and 4.2 of the Listing Policy. Under 4.2 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Multiple lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Each line of evidence is a station where samples had been collected. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list. There is sufficient justification to place it in the Being Addressed portion of the 303(d) list because a TMDL has been completed and approved by RWQCB and USEPA, and is expected to result in attainment of the standard.. This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 4.2 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 4.2 of the Policy. 3. [NUMBER] of [NUMBER] samples exceeded the ______ and these exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table [NUMBER] of the Listing Policy. 4. The [TMDL NAME] has been approved by the [RWQCB] in [YEAR] and approved by USEPA on [MM/DD/YEAR]. 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
The Newport Bay Watershed Fecal Coliform TMDL was completed in 2000.

This water segment-pollutant combination was moved off the section 303(d) list during the 2002 listing cycle.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination in the Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed portion of the section 303(d) list.
 
RWQCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded.

Data and Information Type: PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL MONITORING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: Of the 355 samples taken, 64 exceeded the geometric mean standard of 35 MPN. The data was obtained from a grant funded by the State Water Resources Control Board for the fecal TMDL in Newport Bay. At each station 3 samples were collected and in the data analyses, each of the 3 samples a geometric mean was calculated. Each of the spatial geometric means were used to calculate temporal geometric means which were used to compare against the standard.
Data Reference: Enterococcus, Total and E. coli data for Newport Bay and Tributaries
 
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: EPA's Bacteria Rule for Coastal and Great Lakes Recreation Waters - enterococcus geometric mean 35 MPN
Objective/Criterion Reference: The BEACH Act The Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act of 2000 requires each state and territory with coastal recreation waters to adopt into their water quality standards by April 10, 2004, bacteria criteria that are "as protective of human health as" our 1986 bacteria criteria. The BEACH Act defines coastal recreation waters as the Great Lakes and coastal waters (including coastal estuaries) that states, territories, and authorized tribes officially recognize (or "designate") for swimming, bathing, surfing, or similar activities in the water.
 
Evaluation Guideline:
Guideline Reference:
 
Spatial Representation: The samples were taken at 8 locations throughout upper and lower newport bay. The sites are identified as sites 7 through 11 and at each location three samples were obtained (one in the middle of the location in the bay, the other two at either side of the middle location).
Temporal Representation: The samples were collected twice per month beginning with January 2006 through November 2006 and again in February 2007.
Environmental Conditions: The samples were collected during the wet and dry seasons.
QAPP Information: The data's quality is deemed appropriate because it originated from a TMDL project with a state approved QAPP.
