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 listing under section 2.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section 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.

A TMDL has been developed and approved by USEPA and an approved implementation plan is expected to result in attainment of the standard. Data on total coliform show that there were 104 out of 458 samples exceeding the Basin Plan objective for total coliform. This listing will substitute for the previous listing of beach closures for this water body.

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 in the Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed portion of the section 303(d) list.

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. Out of 458 samples, 104 exceeded the basin plan objective. However, a TMDL is in place to address this pollutant in this water body. 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.
4. Pursuant to section 4.11 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.
