| Weight of Evidence: |
This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.3 of the Listing Policy. Under section 4.3 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.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient justification in favor of removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
2. Three of 12 samples exceeded the Basin Plan water quality objectives for fecal coliform, ten of 11 samples exceeded the Basin Plan water quality objectives for indicator bacteria, and there are an insufficient number number of samples to assess the delisting capacity based on Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy.
3. Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are 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 and there is an insufficient number of samples to assess the delisting capacity. |

10 out of 11 samples exceeded the Basin Plan single sample water quality objectives for indicator bacteria in fresh water. Water quality samples were taken and analyzed for indicator bacteria by the Ventura Coastkeepers. |
| Data Reference: |
Calleguas Creek volunteer water quality monitoring data for 2006 conducted by Ventura Coastkeeper. |
| |
| Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
The Basin Plan bacteria objectives state that to protect water contact recreation in fresh waters individual samples shall not exceed the following limits: fecal coliform density shall not exceed 400/100 ml; and E. coli density shall not exceed 235/100 ml. The bacteria objectives also establish that the geometric means of individual samples shall not exceed the following limits: the fecal coliform density shall not exceed 200/100 ml; and the E. coli density shall not exceed 126/100 ml, as a geometric mean. The bacteria objectives are found in Attachment A of Regional Board Resolution No. 2001-018. |

This pollutant is being considered for removal on the section 303(d) list under sections 2.2 of the Listing Policy. Under 2.2 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status.
Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.
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 adopted by the Los Angeles RWQCB and approved by USEPA, and is expected to result in attainment of the standard. |
| |
| RWQCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: |
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed category of the section 303(d) list because a TMDL has been approved by USEPA, and applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem. |
