Regional Board 9 - San Diego Region

Water Body Name:	Pacific Ocean Shoreline, Mission San Diego HSA, at Newport Ave
Water Body ID:	CAC9071100020091104113503
Water Body Type:	Coastal & Bay Shoreline


DECISION ID	75646	Region 9
Pacific Ocean Shoreline, Mission San Diego HSA, at Newport Ave

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2016)
Revision Status	Original
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2 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. With the latest data, 30 of the 380 samples exceed the Water Quality Objective for total coliform of a SSM of 230 cfu/100 ml for the protection of SHELL beneficial use. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on 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. Fifteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. With the latest data, 30 of the 380 samples exceed the Water Quality Objective for total coliform of a SSM of 230 cfu/100 ml for the protection of SHELL beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 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:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not 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.

Data and Information Type:

PWS pathogen monitoring (ambient water)

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

Beach monitoring data was collected by the County of San Diego from January 2004 through December 2007. A total of 228 single samples were collected with 21 samples correlated with a storm event. Two of the storm samples exceeded the single sample water quality objective.

Data Reference:

SWAMP Data:

Non-SWAMP

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Single Sample Maximum: Enterococcus density shall not exceed 104 per 100 ml;
Geomean: Enterococcus density shall not exceed 35 per 100 ml (SWRCB, 2005).

Comparisons to water quality objectives were made for all data and data associated with storm events. A storm event was defined as 0.2 inches of rainfall within a 72 hour period.

Spatial Representation:

Samples were collected from the Mission San Diego HSA, at Ocean Beach on the north side of the pier at Newport Avenue, Station id PL-100.
Lat/ Long: 32.749160/ -117.253000.

Temporal Representation:

Samples were collected weekly from January 2004 through December 2007.

Environmental Conditions:

Comparisons were made for all data and data associated with storm events. A storm event was defined as 0.2 inches of rainfall within a 72 hour period.

Analyzing only storm water bacteria data is important because the majority of beach monitoring data covers the months of April through October. The data may not capture the full impacts of seasonal storm events and high bacteria levels due to storm water runoff because much of the wet season for Southern California occurs in November through March.

QAPP Information:

Quality control for the bacteria analysis portion was conducted in accordance with the County of San Diego, Department Public Health Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual.

For the period from January 2001 to December 2007, there were 5 beach advisory days for this location. 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 posted with an Advisory when the ocean or bay failed to meet the bacteriological standards.
