Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

Historical Background (Technical Report from Larry Walker Associates, April 2007):

"In 2002, USEPA added listings to Reach 4, Revolon Slough for boron, TDS, and sulfate. In the decision (USEPA, 2003), USEPA stated:
'The Los Angeles Region Basin Plan does not contain specific numeric water quality standards for boron, sulfate or TDS for Calleguas Creek Reach 4 (also known as Revolon Slough Main Channel). The State's rationale for not listing-that there are no water body specific numeric standards in the Basin Plan for these pollutants-is invalid. Federal regulations at 40 CFR 130.7(b) require States to apply narrative water quality standards. The State should have applied the Basin Plan narrative standard for chemical constituents to assess these pollutants. The Basin Plan includes numeric guidelines for these pollutants that are "necessary to protect different categories of beneficial uses", including the beneficial uses designated for Calleguas Creek Reach 4 (Basin Plan, pp. 2-8 and 3-14). EPA concludes that it is appropriate to apply these numeric guidelines to evaluate potential exceedances of the narrative water quality standard for chemical constituents.'
Basically, the USEPA determined that the numeric Basin Plan objectives did not exist for Revolon Slough, but that a narrative standard applied. An interpretation of the narrative standard was used to determine exceedances, but the letter from USEPA did not provide information on the values that were used to determine the exceedances. USEPA found that the boron guidelines were exceeded in 11 of 13 samples, the TDS guideline was exceeded in 13 of 15 samples and the sulfate guideline was exceeded in 14 of 15 samples. Additional information is not available on the concentrations of the samples used in the evaluation."

Current Listing Assessment:

Two line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. 39 salinity samples were taken at Revolon Slough at Peck Road during the 2003-2004 Calleguas Creek Watershed TMDL monitoring.
2. The mean salinity measured was 2.2 ppt and 28 out of 39 samples were greater than or equal to 2 ppt.
3. It is generally accepted that waters with a salinity less than 1 ppt are considered fresh, and waters with a salinity of greater than 10 ppt are considered saline.
4. The salinity measured in Revolon Slough at Wood Road appears to be slightly brackish, and may be a sign that some tidal influence may still be received at Wood Road.
5. Revolon Slough drains to Mugu Lagoon. Calleguas Creek also drains to Mugu Lagoon and is tidally influenced to Portrero Road where it has an elevation of approximately 29 feet. Revolon Slough at Wood Road has an elevation of approximately 25 feet. The corresponding 29 feet elevation mark in Revolon Slough falls just below Laguna Road.
6. The salinity sampling was performed by Larry Walker Associates under contract to the Calleguas Creek Watershed Management Plan Steering Committee with support from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9.
7. Attachment A of Regional Board Resolution R4-2007-016 concludes that: "The segment of Reach 4 below Laguna Road is tidally influenced and therefore not impaired for chloride, boron, sulfate, and TDS."
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: This is a decision previously approved by the State Water Resources Control Board and the USEPA. No new data were assessed by the Regional Board for the current. The decision has not changed.
 
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.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4 of the Listing Policy. Under this section of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status.

The original line of evidence supporting the listing does not identify a pollutant but rather, a condition caused by a pollutant(s) (excess algal growth).

The Calleguas Creek Nitrogen TMDL was adopted by the RWQCB in October 2002 and was subsequently approved by USEPA in June 2003 and is expected to address this water body condition.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of removing these listing from the 303(d) Water Quality Limited Segment list because the segment pollutant combinations is not a pollutant.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: This is a decision previously approved by the State Water Resources Control Board and the USEPA. No new data were assessed by the Regional Board for the current. The decision has not changed.
 
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.

Regional Board Conclusion: The decisions for Calleguas Creek Reach 4 have been revised to not use the data from the two tributary monitoring sites. The Los Angeles Water Board staff will work with the commenter, and other stakeholders, to purposely determine and document the appropriateness of assessing the tributary monitoring sitse under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. If it is determined that the tributary monitoring sites are within a waterbody which should be addressed under section 303(d), then this determination requires that a new tributary be added to the CalQWA underlying map, which is maintained by State Board. It is the intention of the Los Angeles Water Board staff to work with State Board staff to resolve mapping issues prior to the State Board approval of the 2016 303(d) list, or prior to the next Listing Cycle that includes the Los Angeles Region.
 
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for removal on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 2.2 and 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under SECTION 4.1 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status.

2 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

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. There is sufficient justification to place it in the Being Addressed portion of the CWA 303(d) List because a TMDL has been completed and approved by RWQCB and USEPA, and is expected to result in attainment of the standard.

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. 3 of 3, and 13 of 16 samples exceeded the OBJECTIVE and these exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.1 of the Listing Policy.
4. The Calleguas Creek Historic Pesticides TMDL was approved by USEPA on 11/27/2005.
5. 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: 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.

Regional Board Conclusion: The decisions for Calleguas Creek Reach 4 have been revised to not use the data from the two tributary monitoring sites. The Los Angeles Water Board staff will work with the commenter, and other stakeholders, to purposely determine and document the appropriateness of assessing the tributary monitoring sitse under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. If it is determined that the tributary monitoring sites are within a waterbody which should be addressed under section 303(d), then this determination requires that a new tributary be added to the CalQWA underlying map, which is maintained by State Board. It is the intention of the Los Angeles Water Board staff to work with State Board staff to resolve mapping issues prior to the State Board approval of the 2016 303(d) list, or prior to the next Listing Cycle that includes the Los Angeles Region.
 
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.

Regional Board Conclusion: The decisions for Calleguas Creek Reach 4 have been revised to not use the data from the two tributary monitoring sites. The Los Angeles Water Board staff will work with the commenter, and other stakeholders, to purposely determine and document the appropriateness of assessing the tributary monitoring sitse under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. If it is determined that the tributary monitoring sites are within a waterbody which should be addressed under section 303(d), then this determination requires that a new tributary be added to the CalQWA underlying map, which is maintained by State Board. It is the intention of the Los Angeles Water Board staff to work with State Board staff to resolve mapping issues prior to the State Board approval of the 2016 303(d) list, or prior to the next Listing Cycle that includes the Los Angeles Region.
 
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

If it is determined that the tributary monitoring sites are within a waterbody which should be addressed under section 303(d), then this determination requires that a new tributary be added to the CalQWA underlying map, which is maintained by State Board. It is the intention of the Los Angeles Water Board staff to work with State Board staff to resolve mapping issues prior to the State Board approval of the 2016 303(d) list, or prior to the next Listing Cycle that includes the Los Angeles Region.
 
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence are necessary to assess listing status.

1 line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.
0 of 12 samples exceeded the CRITERIA.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient justification for 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. 0 of 12 samples exceeded the CRITERIA and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1.
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion: Do Not List (Insufficient Information) ¿ 3.1 Toxicants
This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence are necessary to assess listing status.

1 line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.
0 of 6 samples exceeded the CRITERIA.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient justification for 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. 0 of 6 samples exceeded the CRITERIA and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1.
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion: The decisions for Calleguas Creek Reach 4 have been revised to not use the data from the two tributary monitoring sites. The Los Angeles Water Board staff will work with the commenter, and other stakeholders, to purposely determine and document the appropriateness of assessing the tributary monitoring sitse under section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. If it is determined that the tributary monitoring sites are within a waterbody which should be addressed under section 303(d), then this determination requires that a new tributary be added to the CalQWA underlying map, which is maintained by State Board. It is the intention of the Los Angeles Water Board staff to work with State Board staff to resolve mapping issues prior to the State Board approval of the 2016 303(d) list, or prior to the next Listing Cycle that includes the Los Angeles Region.
 
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 are necessary to assess listing status.

3 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.
0 of 18 samples exceeded the OBJECTIVE.
0 of 24 samples exceeded the OBJECTIVE.
0 of 18 samples exceeded the OBJECTIVE.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient justification for 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. 0 of 18, 0 of 24 and 0 of 18 sample exceeded the OBJECTIVE and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 26 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.2.
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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion: 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.

One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. A TMDL has been developed and is expected to result in attainment of the standard. The Calleguas Creek Historic Pesticides TMDL was approved by the RWQCB in 2005 and subsequently approved by USEPA.

Based on the readily available 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.

USEPA in its final decision for the 2006 303(d) list, has determined that a TMDL has not been approved by USEPA for this pollutant water body combination. Therefore, this water body pollutant combination is being placed back on the 303(d) list (TMDL required list) pending completion and USEPA approval of a TMDL.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: This is a decision previously approved by the State Water Resources Control Board and the USEPA. No new data were assessed by the Regional Board for the current. The decision has not changed.
