Water Body Type:	Saline Lake


DECISION ID	19372	Region 6
Honey Lake Wildfowl Management Ponds

Pollutant:	Flow alterations
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)(2010)
Revision Status	Original
Reason for Delisting:	Impairment due to non-pollutant (4C)
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollution

Regional Board Staff Conclusion:	Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant was considered for removal from the section 303(d) list in a previous assessment cycle. No new information was reviewed for this current assessment cycle. Therefore, the previous conclusion remains unchanged, and is as follows 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 lack of data and the fact that the listing was not for a pollutant.

Regional Board Staff Decision Recommendation:	No new data were assessed for this assessment cycle. The conclusion reached in the previous cycle remains in same. The Regional Board will update this decision when new data and information become available in a future assessment cycle.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The original basis for the listing of this water body was best professional judgment based on concerns over low water levels during 1980s drought.

Therefore, the listing basis was faulty due to lack of data. Additionally, the listing is not for a pollutant. However, this water body is also listed for pollutants that may be related to the flow alteration (metals, salinity/TDS/chlorides, trace elements), and will remain on the list for those pollutants.
