| Pollutant: | Indicator Bacteria |
| Final Listing Decision: | Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list) |
| Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision: | Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2016) |
| Revision Status | Original |
| Sources: | A Source Unknown |
| Expected TMDL Completion Date: | 2021 |
| Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: | Pollutant |
| Regional Board Conclusion: | This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 4.3 of the Listing Policy. Under section 4.3 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. Fifty-two of 428 samples exceed the contact recreation single sample maximum water quality objective for enterococcus. Twelve out of 62 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for enterococcus. 14 out of 396 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample maximum for Fecal Coliform. Zero out of 72 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for Fecal Coliform. Three out of 72 samples exceeded the shellfish harvesting objective for Total Coliform. Sixty-Five out of 352 samples exceeded the shellfish harvesting single sample maximum objective for Total Coliform. Two out of 262 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample maximum objective for Total Coliform. Zero out of 80 samples exceeded the contact recreation monthly objective for Total Coliform. 2 out of 271 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample objective for Total Coliform. The water body segment is identified as an AB411 beach and data collected during the time frame of April 1st to October 31st (dry weather) is assessed using a four percent exceedance percentage (sections 3.3 and 4.3 of Listing Policy). There are two additional lines of evidence for dry weather single sample and geometric mean calculations. Twenty-eight of 262 dry weather single samples and 12 of 54 geometric mean calculations exceeded the criteria for the single sample and geometric mean criteria for enterococcus, respectively. Seven out of 218 samples exceeded the contact recreation dry weather single sample objective and zero out of 118 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for Fecal Coliform. Zero out of 126 samples exceeded the contact recreation dry weather geomean objective for Total Coliform. The single sample and geometric mean results exceed the allowable limit in Section 4.3 of the listing Policy (at the applicable four percent exceedance percentage ¿ AB411). 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 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-two of 428 samples exceed the contact recreation single sample maximum water quality objective for enterococcus. Twelve out of 62 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for enterococcus. 14 out of 396 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample maximum for Fecal Coliform. Zero out of 72 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for Fecal Coliform. Three out of 72 samples exceeded the shellfish harvesting objective for Total Coliform. Sixty-Five out of 352 samples exceeded the shellfish harvesting single sample maximum objective for Total Coliform. Two out of 262 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample maximum objective for Total Coliform. Zero out of 80 samples exceeded the contact recreation monthly objective for Total Coliform. 2 out of 271 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample objective for Total Coliform and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Twenty-eight of 262 dry weather single samples and 12 of 54 geometric mean calculations exceeded the criteria for the single sample and geometric mean criteria for enterococcus, respectively. Seven out of 218 samples exceeded the contact recreation dry weather single sample objective and zero out of 118 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for Fecal Coliform. Zero out of 126 samples exceeded the contact recreation dry weather geomean objective for Total Coliform. The single sample and geometric mean results exceed the allowable limit in Section 4.3 of the listing Policy (at the applicable four percent exceedance percentage ¿ AB411). 5. 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: | 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: | 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-two of 428 samples exceed the contact recreation single sample maximum water quality objective for enterococcus. Twelve out of 62 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for enterococcus. 14 out of 396 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample maximum for Fecal Coliform. Zero out of 72 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for Fecal Coliform. Three out of 72 samples exceeded the shellfish harvesting objective for Total Coliform. Sixty-Five out of 352 samples exceeded the shellfish harvesting single sample maximum objective for Total Coliform. Two out of 262 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample maximum objective for Total Coliform. Zero out of 80 samples exceeded the contact recreation monthly objective for Total Coliform. 2 out of 271 samples exceeded the contact recreation single sample objective for Total Coliform and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Twenty-eight of 262 dry weather single samples and 12 of 54 geometric mean calculations exceeded the criteria for the single sample and geometric mean criteria for enterococcus, respectively. Seven out of 218 samples exceeded the contact recreation dry weather single sample objective and zero out of 118 samples exceeded the contact recreation geomean objective for Fecal Coliform. Zero out of 126 samples exceeded the contact recreation dry weather geomean objective for Total Coliform. The single sample and geometric mean results exceed the allowable limit in Section 4.3 of the listing Policy (at the applicable four percent exceedance percentage ¿ AB411). 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. |
| 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 at ocean and bay locations in San Diego County. When a bacteriological sample exceeds water quality standards, signs are posted indicating that an advisory for 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 - December 2007. Data used was the number of days the beach was advisories were issued when the ocean or bay failed to meet the bacteriological standards. |
