TMDL - The Integrated Report
303(d) List of Water Quality Limited Segments and 305(b) Surface Water Quality Assessment
Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires the identification of water bodies that do not meet, or are not expected to meet, water quality standards (i.e., impaired water bodies). The affected water body, and associated pollutant or stressor, is then prioritized in the 303(d) List. The Clean Water Act further requires the development of a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for each listing. In 2008, California began integrating the 303(d) List of Impaired Waters and the 305(b) Water Quality Assessment Report into a single report (Integrated Report). This Integrated Report will satisfy the requirements of both CWA Sections 303(d) and 305(b).

2018 Proposed Changes to the 303(d) List
The Central Valley Region is not scheduled to complete a full assessment of all readily available surface water quality data until the 2020 Integrated Report cycle. As part of the 2018 Integrated Report Cycle the Central Valley Water Board evaluated changes to the 303(d) listing status for impaired waters being addressed by a TMDL or another regulatory program. On June 7, 2019 the Central Valley Water Board adopted changes to the 2018 303(d) List of impaired bodies.

2012 Integrated Report – 303(d) List & 305(b) Report
On July 30, 2015, the U.S. EPA issued its final decision regarding the waterbodies and pollutants added to California's 303(d) List. This replaces the 2010 California Clean Water Act section 303(d) List as California's current 303(d) List.
2008 - 2010 303(d) List of Water Quality Limited Segments
Statewide 2008 - 2010 303(d) List
On 12 November 2010, USEPA approved California’s 2008-2010 Section 303(d) List of Impaired Waters and disapproved the omission of several water bodies and associated pollutants that meet federal listing requirements. On October 11, 2011, USEPA issued its final decision regarding the waters USEPA added to the State’s 303(d) list. USEPA provided public notice and solicited public comment on its identification of additional water bodies and associated pollutants for inclusion on California's List. The final list of water bodies that EPA is adding to California's list of water quality limited segments still requiring a TMDL includes all the water bodies and associated pollutants identified in USEPA's November 12, 2010 letter, with the exception of San Joaquin River (Mendota Pool to Bear Creek) for electrical conductivity.- USEPA's final approval letter and enclosure for California's 2010 303(d) List
