Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: |
Pollutant |
|
Weight of Evidence: |
This pollutant is being considered for removal on the section 303(d) list under sections 2.2 of the Listing Policy. Under 2.2 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed 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 sufficient justification against removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list. There is sufficient justification to place it in the Being Addressed portion of the 303(d) list because a TMDL has been completed and adopted by the Los Angeles RWQCB and approved by USEPA, and is expected to result in attainment of the standard. |
|
RWQCB Board Decision / Staff Recommendation: |
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed category of the section 303(d) list because a TMDL has been approved by USEPA, and applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem. |

Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
A TMDL has been approved for this water segment-pollutant combination. The Calleguas Creek Nitrogen TMDL was adopted by the Los Angeles RWQCB on October 24, 2002 and subsequently approved by USEPA. The TMDL was been integrated into the Basin Plan as Basin Plan Amendment 2002-017.
Oxnard Drain No. 3 is addressed in the staff report and the Basin Plan Amendment defines load allocations for oxidized nitrogen in other agricultural drains in the lower Calleguas watershed... USEPA omitted the drain in the original approval letter and in a subsequent letter conferred approval of the TMDL for the drain. |
