DECISION ID
76728
Region 4     
Oxnard Beach
 
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 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.3 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.

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. 0 of 72, 2 of 291, 0 of 75, 0 of 52, 0 of 52, 0 of 75, 1 of 291, 0 of 52, 0 of 52, 0 of 72, 0 of 60, 3 of 94, 0 of 61, 3 of 93, 3 of 64, 0 of 61, 2 of 94, 2 of 94, 0 of 291, 0 of 52, 0 of 52 and 0 of 75 samples exceeded the OBJECTIVE 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.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion: The Basin Plan bacteria objectives state that to protect water contact recreation in marine waters individual samples shall not exceed the following limits: the total coliform density shall not exceed 10000/100 ml; the fecal coliform density shall not exceed 400/100 ml; the enterococcus density shall not exceed 104/100 ml; and the total coliform density shall not exceed 1,000/100 ml, if the ratio of fecal-to-total coliform exceeds 0.1 as single samples. The bacteria objectives also establish that the geometric means of individual samples shall not exceed the following limits: the total coliform density shall not exceed 1000/100 ml, the fecal coliform density shall not exceed 200/100 ml, and the enterococcus density shall not exceed 35/100 ml, as a geometric mean. The bacteria objectives are found in Attachment A of Regional Board Resolution No. 2001-018.
