Weight of Evidence: |
This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.3 of the Listing Policy. Under section 4.3 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
Two 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 insufficient justification in favor of removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
2. Three of 12 samples exceeded the Basin Plan water quality objectives for fecal coliform, ten of 11 samples exceeded the Basin Plan water quality objectives for indicator bacteria, and there are an insufficient number number of samples to assess the delisting capacity based on Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy.
3. Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are met. |
|
RWQCB Board Decision / Staff 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 and there is an insufficient number of samples to assess the delisting capacity. |

Data Reference: |
Calleguas Creek volunteer water quality monitoring data for 2006 conducted by Ventura Coastkeeper. |
|
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
The Basin Plan bacteria objectives state that to protect water contact recreation in fresh waters individual samples shall not exceed the following limits: fecal coliform density shall not exceed 400/100 ml; and E. coli density shall not exceed 235/100 ml. The bacteria objectives also establish that the geometric means of individual samples shall not exceed the following limits: the fecal coliform density shall not exceed 200/100 ml; and the E. coli density shall not exceed 126/100 ml, as a geometric mean. The bacteria objectives are found in Attachment A of Regional Board Resolution No. 2001-018. |

Weight of Evidence: |
This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.7 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.7 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
One 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 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. Seven of 11 samples exceeded the narrative objectives for trash listed in the Basin Plan, and evaluated using numeric targets derived in Los Angeles River Trash TMDL and this exceeds 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 met. |
|
RWQCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: |
After review of the available data and information, RWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem. |
