Regional Board 9 - San Diego Region

Water Body Name:	Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA, at Riviera Beach
Water Body ID:	CAC9013000020090419002355
Water Body Type:	Coastal & Bay Shoreline


DECISION ID	16591

Pollutant:	Enterococcus
Final Listing Decision:	Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
Reason for Delisting:	State determines water quality standard is being met
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Weight of Evidence:	In 2006, 'Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA' was listed for Indicator Bacteria. For 2008, the 2006 San Clemente HA segment has been split into smaller segments and each represents an area near the sampling location of the data being assessed. 'Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA, at Riviera Beach' is one of the sampling locations for Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA, and is considered to be part of the original listing. For this 2008 assessment, the Regional Board has chosen to replace the 'indicator bacteria' listing with separate assessments of the specific indicator bacteria, such as total coliform, fecal coliform, and enterococcus, for removal or non-removal from the 303(d) list. This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section 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. Two of samples exceeded the water quality objective for enterococcus. In LOE 28394, the Regional Board calculated exceedances for samples taken only during storm events. This information was not used in determining listing decisions, but is of interest to the Regional Board and has been included as additional anecdotal information. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for 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 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. Two of 548 samples exceeded the enterococcus water quality objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 4.11 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 be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are not being exceeded.

Analyzing only storm water bacteria data is important because the majority of beach monitoring data covers the months of April through October. The data may not capture the full impacts of seasonal storm events and high bacteria levels due to storm water runoff because much of the wet season for Southern California occurs in November through March.

This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Four of samples exceeded the water quality objective for Shellfish Harvesting. In LOEs 28385 and 28388, the Regional Board calculated exceedances for samples taken only during storm events. This information was not used in determining listing decisions, but is of interest to the Regional Board and has been included as additional anecdotal information. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for 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 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.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:	From the Ocean Plan the median coliform density shall not exceed 70 per 100ml, and not more than 10 percent of the samples shall exceed 230 per 100ml (SWRCB, 2005).

Spatial Representation:	Samples were collected from Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA, Riviera Beach (station id RIVERA) off of Plaza de la Playa (Latitude 33.40854N, Longitude 117.60942 W).
Temporal Representation:	Samples were collected at least once a week from January 2004 through December 2006. Rainfall data was available for the same time period.
Environmental Conditions:	Comparisons were made for all data and data associated with storm events. A storm event was defined as 0.2 inches of rainfall within a 72 hour period. Analyzing only storm water bacteria data is important because the majority of beach monitoring data covers the months of April through October. The data may not capture the full impacts of seasonal storm events and high bacteria levels due to storm water runoff because much of the wet season for Southern California occurs in November through March.
QAPP Information:	Quality control for the bacteria analysis portion of this study was conducted in accordance with the County of Orange Quality Assessment/Quality Control document.

LOE ID:	30315

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
LOE Subgroup:	Pollutant-Water
Matrix:	Water
Fraction:	Not Recorded

Beneficial Use:	Water Contact Recreation

Number of Samples:	0
Number of Exceedances:	0

Data and Information Type:	PATHOGEN MONITORING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:	Unspecified--This LOE is a placeholder to support a 303(d) listing decision made prior to 2006. For the 2008 assessment , the 2006 listed coastline 'Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA' was split into smaller segments and each represents an area near the sampling location of the data being assessed. This segment 'Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA, at Riviera Beach' is one of the sampling locations. This LOE is a copy of the 2006 listing placeholder LOE for Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA and is considered by the Regional Board to be applicable to this more specific segment formed from the split.
