The San Diego Water Board completed several other important projects in Fiscal Year 2013-14. In particular, the Board adopted a practical and measureable approach to achieve water quality in Loma Alta Slough through a non-TMDL solution that incorporates nutrient numeric endpoints. This achievement leveraged collaborations with cities, researchers and State agencies that also saw the publication of new indices of stream health based upon algae and an assessment of southern California estuaries that showed eutrophication is a major threat to beneficial uses. The San Diego Water Board also adopted an Amendment of a Master Reclamation Permit at Camp Pendleton allows the United States Marine Corps to increase their production of recycled water up to 7.5 million gallons per day, a 50 percent increase. In addition, improved regulatory oversight of many discharges were achieved through the adoption of Waivers of Waste Discharge Requirements for 12 classes of low threat discharges and the adoption of another comprehensive permit for a military base (Pt. Loma) that combines three prior permits. In addition, the lack of dedicated funding has not stopped the regulation of agricultural and nursery operations that contribute pollutants to downstream MS4s and receiving waters. This past fiscal year also saw the adoption of a revised permit for the U.S. International Boundary and Water Commission International Wastewater Treatment Facility (IWTF) Plant. This action was only possible after the successful attainment of secondary treatment standards at the IWTF and the conclusion of a lawsuit brought by the Board against the IBWC. In the dismissal hearing, presiding Judge Barry T. Moskowitz praised the San Diego Water Board and IBWC for achieving the goals expected by the public of good government service.

WHAT THE CARD IS SHOWING

Each target card provides a direct comparison of actual outputs for the fiscal year (July 1st to June 30th) to the target estimates established at the outset of the fiscal year. While budgetary and personnel information is not directly aligned with the activities being assessed, it does provide a basis for understanding the relative priority of key programs within each region and across the State. For the actual outputs presented, the Water Boards are continuing to evolve its data bases for improved accuracy. Some of the measurements reported may be different than the measurements tracked by the regions and programs. In addition, there are several targets for which outputs cannot be readily displayed without modification to the databases. This includes the number of permits revised, which should include the number of permits reviewed, revised and/or rescinded.

For the actual outputs presented, the Water Boards are continuing to evolve its data bases for improved accuracy. Some of the measurements reported may be different than the measurements tracked by the regions and programs. Notably, the data portrayed include entries completed before November 4, 2014 and may not reflect data input after that period.

WHY THIS CARD IS IMPORTANT

Beginning with FY 2009-10, performance targets were established for certain output measures. Targets are goals that establish measurable levels of performance to be achieved within a specified time period. This card demonstrates how the resources of the region are being deployed to protect water quality. In establishing the targets, the Regional Water Boards considered the unique differences and needs within their respective watersheds, their work priorities given available resources, external factors such as furloughs, and prior year outputs.
