DECISION ID	76089	Region 8
Mill Creek (Prado Area)

Pollutant:	Alachlor \| Atrazine \| Azinphos-methyl (Guthion) \| Carbaryl \| Carbofuran \| Chlorpyrifos \| DDE (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) \| Diazinon \| Dieldrin \| Disulfoton \| Malathion \| Methyl Parathion \| Molinate \| Simazine \| Thiobencarb/Bolero
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:	There was no new data considered in the 2014 Listing Cycle, this previously made decision will carryover. The following description applies to an earlier Listing Cycle. This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. One lines of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the water quality objective. 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 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. None of one sample exceeded the USEPA National Recommended Ambient Water Quality Criteria and this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 16 samples are needed for application of 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:	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:	No new data were assessed this cycle. The decision has not changed, and is presented in "Decision Relationships Continued". From 2010 Listing Cycle: Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for listing under section 2.2 of the Listing Policy.

The Prado Area Streams Pathogen TMDL was approved by the RWQCB in 2007 and subsequently approved by USEPA on 5/16/07. 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. State Board Review and Conclusion: This Santa Ana Regional Board staff recommended to continue listing this previously listed water body for Pathogens in the centralized database for the assessment. However, the centralized database was not used to generate the final Staff Report for Region 8 and this decision did not get included for Regional Water Board approval. Based on the review of the data and information in the centralized database, State Water Board staff recommends to continue to List this water body-pollutant combination.
