a Calabazas Creek (Santa Clara County) is being listed because the data originally had been incorrectly assigned to establish the listing for Calabazas Creek in Sonoma County.

b Six listings based on total coliforms will be reanalyzed for Integrated Report purposes if State Board adopts new objectives which remove total coliform as an indicator.

c These data were collected as part of the Bay Regional Monitoring Program. Similar or the same listings already apply to most SF Bay segments.

d This is a sediment toxic hot spot and there are multiple listings from 2002. Toxicity is now being added explicitly as a listing where it was implicit in the past based on listings for a variety of other toxic pollutants in sediment.  We are already working on a TMDL for this listed water body.
