TMDL Name: Santa Monica Bay Beach Closures/Coliform/Bacteria Indicators (48)
TMDL Project Code: 392
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA: 06/19/2003
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Regional Board Conclusion: Region 4 data was not included in the 2012 Integrated Report so all decisions are carried over from the 2010 listing cycle.

This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.3 if a site-specific exceedance frequency is available, it may be used instead of the ten percent exceedance frequency as described in Table 3.2. The site-specific exceedance frequency shall be the number of water quality standard exceedance in a relatively unimpacted watershed.

One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Available data shows that standards are currently not being met. The Santa Monica Bay Bacteria Dry Weather TMDL was approved by RWQCB on January 24, 2002 and subsequently approved by USEPA. The Santa Monica Bay Bacteria Wet Weather TMDL was approved by RWQCB on December 12, 2002 and approved by USEPA on June 19, 2003.

This listing will substitute the previous listing for beach closures.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed category.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Fifty-six of 3285 samples exceed the 30-day enterococcus geomean limit and this exceeds the allowable site-specific exceedance frequency.
4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: Region 4 data was not included in the 2012 Integrated Report so all decisions are carried over from the 2010 listing cycle.
 
State Board Staff Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:
 
State Board Decision Recommendation: Region 4 data was not included in the 2012 Integrated Report so all decisions are carried over from the 2010 listing cycle.

After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.
