Regional Board 2 - San Francisco Bay Region

Water Body Name:	Lakeshore Park Beach (Marina Lagoon, San Mateo County)
Water Body ID:	CAC2044004020120427120721
Water Body Type:	Coastal & Bay Shoreline


DECISION ID	65997	Region 2
Lakeshore Park Beach (Marina Lagoon, San Mateo County)

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (being addressed by USEPA approved TMDL)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Source Unknown
TMDL Name:	San Francisco Bay Beaches, Pathogens
TMDL Project Code:	995
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA:	02/24/2017
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 2.2 and 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.3 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Thirty-four of eighty-seven samples exceed the enterococcus geometric mean objective. 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 from the CWA section 303(d) List. There is sufficient justification to place it in the Being Addressed portion of the CWA 303(d) List because a TMDL has been completed and approved by RWQCB and USEPA, and is expected to result in attainment of the standard. 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. Thirty-four of eighty-seven samples exceed the enterococcus geometric mean objective objective and these exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. The SF Bay Beaches Pathogen TMDL was approved by USEPA on 2/24/2017. 5. Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB 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.
