Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: | Pollutant |
Regional Board Conclusion: | This pollutant is being considered for removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 4.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
Fifteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Including the latest data, 125 of the 676 samples exceed the water quality objective for total coliform of a SSM of 230/100ml for the protection of SHELL. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the CWA 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. Including the latest data, 125 of the 676 samples exceed the water quality objective for total coliform of a SSM of 230/100ml for the protection of SHELL and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are met. . |
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: | After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded. |
State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation: | . |
State Board Decision Recommendation: | After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board. |

Bacteriological samples are collected on a weekly basis from April through October. When a bacteriological sample exceeds water quality standards, signs are posted indicating that waters have exceeded public health standards.
Data and information on the number of beach posting were summarized by the County of San Diego in their annual San Diego County Beach Closure and Advisory Reports. The reporting period was from January 2001 to December 2007. Data used was the number of days the beach was postedb with an Advisory when the ocean or bay failed to meet the bacteriological standards. |

Data and Information Type: | PATHOGEN MONITORING | ||||
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: | A total of 180 analyses were performed from 1999 through 2003. Of these, there was only one exceedance of the bacterial standards for all three indicators: The Enterococcus standard of 104 MPN/100mL was exceeded in 10/2002 (City of San Diego, 2004). | ||||
Data Reference: | Placeholder reference 2006 303(d) | ||||
SWAMP Data: | Non-SWAMP | ||||
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: | The objective is numeric. | ||||
Objective/Criterion Reference: | Placeholder reference 2006 303(d) | ||||
Evaluation Guideline: | From AB411: Enterococcus: 35"per 100 ml for 30-day average", single sample: 104 per 100 ml. Fecal coliform: 30-day average- 200 colonies/100 mL. Single sample- 400 colonies/100mL. Total coliform: 30-day average: 1,000 colonies/100 mL, single sample: If FC/TC ratio is < 0.1, 10,000 colonies/100 mL, if FC/TC ratio is > 0.1, 1,000 colonies/100mL. | ||||
Guideline Reference: | Placeholder reference 2006 303(d) | ||||
Spatial Representation: | Two stations were monitored at Anderson Canyon during this time: one at the sampling site and one 75 feet to the left of the site. | ||||
Temporal Representation: | Data were available for this assessment from 01/2002 through 10/2004. The majority of samples were taken during the dry season, but samples were also taken during the wet season. | ||||
Environmental Conditions: | The report notes that "there was one sewage spill that impacted Anderson Canyon. It did not appear to have an impact on bacterial indicator levels."
Southern California has three distinct weather/hydrological conditions: summer dry weather, winter dry weather, and storm events. The data set used in this analysis includes summer and winter season data. Whether or not storm event samples are included in the data set are not known. For future water quality assessments, the RWQCB may classify bacteria samples as summer dry, winter dry, or storm event samples to ensure adequate representation of all three weather/hydrological conditions. |
