Water Body Name:	Pacific Ocean Shoreline, Torrey Pines State Beach, Anderson Canyon
Water Body ID:	CAX9063000020020805132658
Water Body Type:	Coastal & Bay Shoreline


DECISION ID	16513

Pollutant:	Enterococcus
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

Weight of Evidence:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the 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. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. One of the samples exceed the water quality objective for enterococcus. 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. 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. One of 71 samples exceeded the enterococcus water quality 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.

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 placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Data and Information Type:	PWS pathogen monitoring (ambient water)
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:	For the period from January 2001 to December 2007, there were 35 beach advisory days for two locations in Del Mar. Bacteriological samples are collected on a weekly basis from April through October. When a bacteriological sample exceeds water quality standards, signs are posted indicating that waters have exceeded public health standards. Data and information on the number of beach posting were summarized by the County of San Diego in their annual San Diego County Beach Closure and Advisory Reports. The reporting period was from January 2001 to December 2007. Data used was the number of days the beach was postedb with an Advisory when the ocean or bay failed to meet the bacteriological standards.
