Data Used to Assess Water Quality: | Below is a copy of the 2006 LOE information for the data used to support the listing of Mission Bay Shoreline:
Available data indicate sufficient exceedances of bacterial indicator objectives. There were 576 out of 3662 samples exceeding the single sample maximum for enterococci, 959 out of 2933 exceedances of the geomean enterococci, and 333 out samples exceeding the single sample maximum for fecal coliform (USEPA, 2007). |
Data Reference: | Placeholder reference 2006 303(d) |
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: | Title 17 C.C.R. Section 7958 states: Based on a single sample, the density of bacteria in water from each sampling station at a public beach or public water contact sports area shall not exceed:
(A) 1,000 total coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters, if the ratio of fecal/total coliform bacteria exceeds 0.1; or (B) 10,000 total coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (C) 400 fecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (D) 104 enterococcus bacteria per 100 milliliters. Based on the mean of the logarithms of the results of at least five weekly samples during any 30-day sampling period, the density of bacteria in water from any sampling station at a public beach or public water contact sports area, shall not exceed: (A) 1,000 total coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (B) 200 fecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (C) 35 enterococcus bacteria per 100 milliliters (DHS, 1999). |

Analyzing only storm water bacteria data is important because the majority of beach monitoring data covers the months of April through October. The data may not capture the full impacts of seasonal storm events and high bacteria levels due to storm water runoff because much of the wet season for Southern California occurs in November through March. |

(A) 1,000 total coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters, if the ratio of fecal/total coliform bacteria exceeds 0.1; or (B) 10,000 total coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (C) 400 fecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (D) 104 enterococcus bacteria per 100 milliliters. Based on the mean of the logarithms of the results of at least five weekly samples during any 30-day sampling period, the density of bacteria in water from any sampling station at a public beach or public water contact sports area, shall not exceed: (A) 1,000 total coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (B) 200 fecal coliform bacteria per 100 milliliters; or (C) 35 enterococcus bacteria per 100 milliliters (DHS, 1999). |

Spatial Representation: | In 2006, data from sampling sites along the Mission Bay shoreline were aggregated for the assessment. For 2008, the 2006 Mission Bay Shoreline segment has been split into smaller segments and each represents an area near the sampling location of the data being assessed. 'Mission Bay Shoreline, at Tecolote Shores' is one of the sampling locations for Mission Bay Shoreline and is considered to be part of the original listing |

Data Used to Assess Water Quality: | Beach monitoring data was collected by the County of San Diego from January 1999 through October 2007. A total of 374 single samples were collected with 18 samples correlated with a storm event. Twelve of the 18 samples exceeded the single sample water quality objective. This information will not be used in determining a listing decision, but is of interest to the Regional Board and has been included here as additional anecdotal information. |

Spatial Representation: | Samples were collected at Tecolote Shores near storm drain, San Diego, California. Station identification number is MB-040. |
Temporal Representation: | Samples were collected from January 1999 through October 2007. |
Environmental Conditions: | Comparisons were made for all data and data associated with storm events. A storm event was defined as 0.2 inches of rainfall within a 72 hour period.
Analyzing only storm water bacteria data is important because the majority of beach monitoring data covers the months of April through October. The data may not capture the full impacts of seasonal storm events and high bacteria levels due to storm water runoff because much of the wet season for Southern California occurs in November through March. |
QAPP Information: | Quality control for the bacteria analysis portion was conducted in accordance with the County of San Diego, Department Public Health Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual. |
