Regional Board 9 - San Diego Region

Water Body Name:	Pacific Ocean Shoreline, Dana Point HSA, at Camel Point
Water Body ID:	CAC9011400020090505111518
Water Body Type:	Coastal & Bay Shoreline


DECISION ID	16806	Region 9
Pacific Ocean Shoreline, Dana Point HSA, at Camel Point

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

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Sixty of the 969 samples exceed the Basin Plan water quality objective for enterococcus. In LOE 29194, 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. The water body segment is identified as an AB411 beach and data collected during the time frame of April 1st to October 31st (dry weather) is assessed using a four percent exceedance percentage (section 3.3 of Listing Policy). There is one additional line of evidence for dry weather geometric mean calculation. Zero of 56 geometric mean calculations exceeded the recreational use geometric mean criteria. 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. Sixty of the 969 samples exceed the Basin Plan water quality objective for enterococcus and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Zero of 56 geometric mean calculations exceeded the recreational use geometric mean criteria. This does not exceed the allowable limit based on the application of a four percent exceedance percentage (AB411) to section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 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 not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.

Evaluation Guideline:

Guideline Reference:

Spatial Representation:

Samples were collected from Camel Point, station id S7, in the Dana Point HSA. Lat/Long: 33.50499/-117.74845.

Temporal Representation:

Samples were collected weekly from January 1999 through December 2007; however, rainfall data is only available from March 2002 through December 2007.

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.

Regional Board Conclusion:	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. Ten of the 984 samples exceed the Basin Plan water quality objective for fecal coliform. This water body segment is identified as an AB411 beach and data collected during the time frame of April 1st to October 31st (dry weather) is assessed using a four percent exceedance percentage (section 3.3 of Listing Policy). There is one additional line of evidence for dry weather geometric mean calculation. Zero of 56 geo-metric mean calculations exceeded the geo-metric mean criteria. In LOE 29230, 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 against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.

Zero of 56 geo-metric mean calculations exceeded the recreational use geo-metric mean criteria. This does not exceed the allowable limit in Table 3.2 (at a four percent exceedance percentage - AB411). 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Line of Evidence (LOE) for Decision ID 16801, Total Coliform	Region 9
Pacific Ocean Shoreline, Dana Point HSA, at Camel Point

LOE ID:

29245

Pollutant:

Total Coliform

LOE Subgroup:

Pollutant-Water

Matrix:

Water

Fraction:

None

Beneficial Use:

Water Contact Recreation

Number of Samples:

Number of Exceedances:

Data and Information Type:

PWS pathogen monitoring (ambient water)

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

Beach monitoring data was collected by the County of Orange from January 1999 through December 2007. There were 982 individual samples. Between March 2002 and December 2007, 51 samples were correlated with storm events. None of the 51 samples exceeded the single sample maximum water quality objective for total coliform. This information will not be used in determining a listing decision, but is of interest to the Regional Board and has been included here as additional anecdotal information.
