DECISION ID	74259	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Aluminum
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2016)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	A Source Unknown
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2025
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 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Eighteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess pollutant. Twenty-two of 120 samples exceed the objective for the protection of the MUN beneficial use. 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. Twenty-two of 120 samples exceed the objective for the protection of the MUN beneficial use and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.1 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.

DECISION ID	79794	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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	Revised
Sources:	A Source Unknown
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2020
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Fecal indicator bacteria (which includes E. Coli and fecal coliform) are being considered for removal and placement from the Section 303(d) List in 3 parts: (A) CONSIDERING DELISTING- the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek, (B) CONSIDERING LISTING- Dutch Bill Creek, and (C) CONSIDER LISTING- the remainder of the Guerneville HSA. It should be noted that data from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach were incorrectly evaluated in the Russian River HU, Middle Russian River HA, Geyserville HSA water body during the 2010 Integrated Report cycle. The LOEs are now assessed in this water body for the current Integrated Report cycle. Thus, the fecal indicator bacteria listing for the mainstem Russian River from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge will be evaluated under this water body. Additionally, it should be noted that enterococcus and total coliform data were not utilized in this decision for the following reasons: (1) enterococcus is not an appropriate indicator of sewage and pathogens in freshwater as it can come from non-fecal sources, can regrow in the stream environment, and because there is a likelihood of false positive results in freshwater using current analytical methods, and (2) total coliform are widespread in nature and occur in non-fecal sources such as soil and submerged wood. CONSIDERING DELISTING: (A) For the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Mem. Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek this pollutant is being considered for removal from the Section 303(d) List under Section 4.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant in the mainstem Russian River from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge: seven for E. Coli (LOEs 34365, 34362, 46611, 46612, 46610, 34380, and 34383) and two for fecal coliform (LOEs 46613 and 46614). Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant in the mainstem Russian River from Fife Ck. to Dutch Bill Ck.: eight for E. Coli (LOEs 31932, 31967, 31998, 7115, 31860, 31918, 6076, and 31849) and one for fecal coliform (LOE 6075). In accordance with Section 4.3 of the Listing Policy, because there was no site-specific exceedance frequency utilized to list this water body in 2002 and because a 10% exceedance frequency was utilized to evaluate data in the 2010 Integrate Report cycle, waters shall be removed from the section 303(d) List if the number of measured exceedances meet the requirements of Table 4.2, utilizing a 10% exceedance frequency. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Ck. to Dutch Bill Ck. from the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for fecal Indicator Bacteria (i.e., sufficient justification to not delist). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5. (3) 56 of 116 fecal coliform samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Mem. Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge exceed the objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency from Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. (4) 29 of 103 fecal coliform samples from the mainstem Russian R. from Fife Ck. to Dutch Bill Ck. exceed the objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency from Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. (5) Pursuant to Section 4.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (B) For Dutch Bill Creek, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence for E. Coli are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters from the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". If the data collected include months outside the April 1 through October 31 date range, then the data shall be assessed according to Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, at a 10% exceedance rate. Therefore, Dutch Bill Creek is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, using a 10% exceedance rate. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing Dutch Bill Creek on the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for fecal Indicator Bacteria (i.e., sufficient justification to 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) 5 of 5 E. Coli samples from Dutch Bill Creek exceed the single sample maximum evaluation guideline and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (C) For the remainder of the Guerneville HSA, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Thirty-five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: thirty for E. Coli and five for fecal coliform. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy, a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters to the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". Accordingly, data were evaluated utilizing a 4% exceedance rate with the exception of the following E. Coli LOEs which were evaluated at a 10% exceedance rate: (1) Fife Creek LOE 6139, Hobson Creek LOE 6148, Johnsons Beach LOE 7078, and Odd Fellows LOE 7079. Data from each freshwater beach along the mainstem Russian River were evaluated independently, as were data from each tributary to the Russian River. None of the E. Coli or fecal coliform samples at any of the freshwater beaches on the mainstem Russian River or tributaries to the Russian River (both single samples and geomean values) exceed the allowable exceedance rate. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5. (3) E. Coli and fecal coliform samples do not exceed the objectives more than the allowable frequency identified in Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	This waterbody was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	(5) Pursuant to Section 4.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (B) For Dutch Bill Creek, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence for E. Coli are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters from the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". If the data collected include months outside the April 1 through October 31 date range, then the data shall be assessed according to Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, at a 10% exceedance rate. Therefore, Dutch Bill Creek is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, using a 10% exceedance rate. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing Dutch Bill Creek on the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for fecal Indicator Bacteria (i.e., sufficient justification to list).

(4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (C) For the remainder of the Guerneville HSA, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Thirty-five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: thirty for E. Coli and five for fecal coliform. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy, a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters to the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only".

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5. (3) E. Coli and fecal coliform samples do not exceed the objectives more than the allowable frequency identified in Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After reviewing public comments on the draft 2018 303(d) list for the North Coast Region and after distributing written responses and the proposed final staff report, Water Board staff identified concerns with the proposed 2018 listing decisions pertaining to bacteria in waterbodies in the Russian River watershed. Therefore, this bacteria listing decision remains substantially unchanged from the 2014-2016 California Integrated Report to afford adequate time for staff and stakeholders to review proposed changes in a future listing cycle. Therefore, listing only applies to (1) the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Highway 101 bridge, (2) the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek, and (3) the mainstem of Dutch Bill Creek.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

In the Russian River at Forestville Access Beach, e.coli samples were collected while fecal coliform samples were not collected. Since e. coli is one of the group of bacteria that comprise the fecal coliform group, it is logical that if median e.coli concentrations for any 30-day period are greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml, then the median fecal coliform concentrations for any 30-day period will also be greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml. Of the 14 e. coli samples collected, 6 median e. coli concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these 6 median values, none exceed the objective. E.coli median values range from 10 to 20 MPN / 100 ml.

The samples were collected by staff of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The data for 2007 are presented in the Russian River Pathogen Data Report of the Russian River Pathogen Project Database (ICE 2008). The data for 2008 are presented by the Regional Water Board (NCRWQCB 2008).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The Sonoma County Department of Health Services (SoCoDHS) uses data on fecal indicator bacteria concentrations to post freshwater beaches along the Russian River with public health advisories that warn against swimming and water recreation. Public health advisories for fecal indicator bacteria were issued at multiple mainstem Russian River beaches by SoCoDHS between 2013 and 2016. Sample results exceeded SoCoDHS public health advisory levels on
1 occasion at Forestville Access Beach, 2 occasions at Johnson's Beach, and 5 occasions at Monte Rio Beach in the Dutch Bill Creek-Russian River HUC-12, and these exceedances represent an impact to the recreational beneficial use (REC-1).

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

HuBac data are assessed to determine attainment of the beneficial use. Data are not assessed to determine attainment of an objective or criteria, and no objective or criteria is included here.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

HuBac (Bacteroides) are present in the human gut and do not survive long outside of the human gut. When present in the water column, measurable HuBac indicate the recent discharge of human fecal waste. There is no defined health-based threshold associated with HuBac results. The detection limit for HuBac is <60/100mL. HuBac concentrations >1000/100mL, which is two orders of magnitude greater than the detection limit, is reliable evidence of the presence of human fecal waste.

Guideline Reference:

Detection of the human specific Bacteroides genetic marker provides evidence of widespread sewage contamination of stormwater in the urban environment.

DECISION ID	78316	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Specific Conductivity
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2016)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	A Source Unknown
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2025
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section of the policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Twenty-one lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Nine of twelve samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 exceed the objective. Zero of three samples from Dutch Bill Creek (LOE 46818), one of one sample from Hobson Creek (LOE 46817), zero of four samples from Fife Creek (LOEs 46819 and 46820), and four of 26 samples from the remainder of the mainstem Russian River exceed the objective for MUN. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Highway 101 bridge from the section 303(d) list for specific conductivity 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. Nine of twelve samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 exceed the objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.1 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.

Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. One lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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 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. None samples 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 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.

DECISION ID	101179	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Aldrin
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. 22 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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 CWA 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 the samples exceeded the objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.
