Evaluation of Contact Water Recreation (REC-1) Water Quality Objectives and Methods for Quantifying Exceedances
Introduction
The goal of the project will be to determine whether and to what extent data supports amending the objectives, implementation provisions for applicable TMDLs, or the TMDLs themselves. This is a timely project because in 2012 the USEPA released revised guidance for recreational water criteria, and several local and/or regional studies are in progress that can inform the selection of pathogen indicators and objectives. Additionally, the Bacteria TMDL specifies that the San Diego Water Board will initiate a Basin Plan amendment project to revise the requirements and/or provisions for implementing the TMDLs by April 2016, provided sufficient data exist to support the initiation of a Basin Plan amendmentPublic Documents

Bacteria Workgroup Meetings
The San Diego Water Board staff actively participates in monthly stakeholder work group meetings to examine issues related to the bacteria water quality objectives for surface waters. This Bacteria Workgroup meets to discuss various technical studies that are currently underway. The results of these studies may inform the selection of pathogen indicators, objectives, and/or policy decisions. The stakeholder group includes representatives from the City of San Diego, County of Orange, and the County of San Diego.

Bacteria TMDL Cost Benefit Analysis Meetings
This work group is a subset of the larger Bacteria Workgroup established to discuss development of an analysis of the costs and benefits of complying with the San Diego Water Board's REC-1 water quality objectives. The specific focus is on the feasibility of meeting wet weather TMDL water quality objectives for bacterial indicators. The stakeholder work group includes representatives from the City of San Diego, County of Orange, County of San Diego, and their consultants.
