DECISION ID	20643	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Temperature, water
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (being addressed with USEPA approved TMDL)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (being addressed by USEPA approved TMDL)(2010)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Agriculture-irrigation tailwater \| Flow Alteration/Regulation/Modification \| Habitat Modification \| Removal of Riparian Vegetation
TMDL Name:	Shasta River
TMDL Project Code:	110
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA:	01/26/2007
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under section 4.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Fourteen 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. 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) Twenty-two of Twenty-four annual maximum temperatures in the mainstem Shasta River exceeded the evaluation guideline and this exceeds 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 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 removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded.

State Board Staff 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.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Water Quality Control Plan, North Coast Region (NCRWQCB 2011): Natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. At no time or place shall the temperature of any COLD water be increased more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit (F) above natural receiving water temperature.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

According to the Shasta River TMDL, at River Mile (RM) 10.9 an annual maximum water temperature of 17.3 degrees C in the mainstem Shasta River is consistent with the "Water Quality Compliance Scenario", which includes 1) site potential riparian shade conditions on a river-reach scale, 2) modified temperature regime of tailwater return flows such that the return flows do not cause heating of the receiving water, 3) Big Springs Creek temperatures reduced by 4 degrees C from baseline, 4) Parks Creek temperatures reduced by 2 degrees C from baseline, and 5) 50% increase in Shasta River flows downstream of the Big Springs Creek confluence (an increase of 45 cfs). The maximum temperature value for RM 10.9 of the Shasta River is an estimate extrapolated from the Shasta River temperature TMDL model's water quality compliance scenario (Figure 6.3 in the Staff Report for the Action Plan for the Shasta River Watershed Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature TMDLs) (NCRWQCB 2006)."

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

According to the Shasta River TMDL, at River Mile (RM) 13.6 and 13.5 an annual maximum water temperature of 17.9 degrees C in the mainstem Shasta River is consistent with the "Water Quality Compliance Scenario", which includes 1) site potential riparian shade conditions on a river-reach scale, 2) modified temperature regime of tailwater return flows such that the return flows do not cause heating of the receiving water, 3) Big Springs Creek temperatures reduced by 4 degrees C from baseline, 4) Parks Creek temperatures reduced by 2 degrees C from baseline, and 5) 50% increase in Shasta River flows downstream of the Big Springs Creek confluence (an increase of 45 cfs). The maximum temperature value for RM 13.6 & 13.5 of the Shasta River is an estimate extrapolated from the Shasta River temperature TMDL model's water quality compliance scenario (Figure 6.3 in the Staff Report for the Action Plan for the Shasta River Watershed Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature TMDLs) (NCRWQCB 2006)."

Evaluation Guideline:

EVIDENCE OF ALTERATION OF NATURAL RECEIVING WATER TEMPERATURES (NON-NATURAL TEMPS): Water temperatures of the Shasta River HA do not reflect natural conditions as environmental factors that influence water temperature have been altered by human activities as discussed in the Staff Report For the Action Plan for the Shasta River Watershed Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen TMDLs (NCRWQCB 2006). EVIDENCE OF SALMONID PRESENCE & LIFE CYCLE USE: Chinook, coho and steelhead are present in the watershed below Shastina and trout are present in Shastina and tributaries to Shastina (NCRWQCB 2006; Whelan 2005). Rearing occurs year-round and spawning, incubation, and emergence occurs from September 16th to June 30 (NCRWQCB 2006). Non-core rearing occurs in the mainstem Shasta River year-round, and core rearing occurs in the tributaries to the Shasta River.

Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	These pollutants are being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Sixty-eight lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, sixty lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use, twenty-four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use, and forty lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. It should be noted that data from LOE 29849 do not have evaluation guidelines available to interpret the water quality objectives and, therefore, there is insufficient information to determine if the objective is being exceeded for the pollutants in this LOE. Additionally, data from LOE 25613 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed during this listing cycle in LOE 46910. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of 3,120 pesticide water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective, zero of 174 pesticide water samples exceeded the COLD objective, zero of 162 pesticide water samples exceeded the WARM objective, and zero of 48 pesticide water samples exceeded the COMM objective. This does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.

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 Staff 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.

DECISION ID	22816	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Arsenic \| Cadmium \| Chromium \| Chromium (total) \| Copper \| Lead \| Mercury \| Nickel \| Selenium \| Silver \| Zinc
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	These pollutants are being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Twenty-one lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use, seventeen lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, and four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use. Zero of 463 metals samples exceed the MUN water quality objective, zero of 68 metals samples exceed the COLD water quality objective, and zero of 16 metals samples exceed the COMM water quality objective. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of 463 metals samples exceed the MUN water quality objective, zero of 68 metals samples exceed the COLD water quality objective, and zero of 16 metals samples exceed the COMM water quality objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.

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 Staff 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.

DECISION ID	31669	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Boron
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of four samples exceed the objective, and this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (A) 16 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1. (4) 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 it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Staff 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.

Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
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. Three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Shasta River (LOEs 34235, 34256, and 46926), one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in Yreka Creek (LOE 46927), and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in Evans Ditch (LOE 43795). It should be noted that data from LOE 25416 from the 2010 Integrated Report cycle were re-evaluated this current cycle in LOEs 46926 and 46927. Zero of 40 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the objective. Additionally, zero of 9 samples from Yreka Creek and zero of 1 sample from Evans Ditch exceed the objective, however these sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (1) 26 samples, or (2) greater than or equal to 5 exceedances of the objective with less than 26 samples is needed for application of Table 3.2. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of 40 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the 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.

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.

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. One line of evidence is available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) The method detection limit for all 3 of the non-detect samples was greater than the criteria. Thus, per the Listing Policy the data were not used in this assessment. Therefore, there are no data available to assess against protection of the MUN beneficial use. (4) 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 it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

One DDE sample collected in Yreka Creek had a detectable level of DDE and the sample exceed the evaluation guideline. The sample concentration was reported as detected not quantifiable (DNQ), with an estimated value of .0015 ug/l (method detection limit of 0.001 ug/l, reporting limit of .002 ug/l). There were also an additional 11 samples from Yreka Creek, which were non-detect. However, these non-detect data could not be utilized in this assessment because the detection limit for DDE is above the evaluation guideline. Per the listing policy, when a sample value is less than the quantitation limit, and the quantitation limit is greater than the evaluation guideline, the result shall not be used in the analysis. The samples were collected as part of the Surface Water Ambient Water Monitoring Program (SWAMP) (NCRWQCB 2008).

DECISION ID	31389	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane)
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Shasta River (LOEs 25610 and 34521) and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of MUN in Yreka Creek (LOE 29031). One line of evidence is available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use in the mainstem Shasta River (LOE 34520). 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) One of one sample in the mainstem Shasta River and one of one sample in Yreka Creek exceeds the MUN evaluation guideline used to interpret the narrative objective. Additionally, zero of three samples exceed the COLD objective. These sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (A) 16 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1. (4) 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 it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Staff 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.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use, and three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. It should be noted that data from a fourth MUN line of evidence (LOE 25612) from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed during this listing cycle in LOE 46911. Additionally, the pollutant name for this decision was changed from Pesticides to Hexachlorobenzene/ HCB, and the DDT, DDE, and Ethion data were removed from this decision so they could be assessed in their own individual decisions. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) One of one water sample exceeds the evaluation guideline used to interpret the narrative objective for the MUN beneficial use, and this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (A) 16 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1.

DECISION ID	31670	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Manganese
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of eight samples exceed the objective, and this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (A) 16 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1. (4) 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 it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Staff Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

DECISION ID	32005	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Nitrate/Nitrite (Nitrite + Nitrate as N)
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, 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 for the mainstem Shasta River (LOEs 43051 and 43052) and one for Evans Ditch (LOE 43985). 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of one sample from Evans Ditch and zero of eight samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the water quality objective, however these sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (a) 16 samples, or (b) greater than or equal to 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1. (4) 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 it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Staff 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.

Pollutant:	Nitrogen, ammonia (Total Ammonia)
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess the Cold Freshwater Habitat (COLD) beneficial use and two lines of evidence are available to assess the Spawning, Reproduction, and/or Early Development (SPWN) beneficial use in the mainstem Shasta River. Additionally, one line of evidence is available to assess the SPWN beneficial use in Evans Ditch. It should be noted that the pollutant name was changed from "Ammonia as Nitrogen" to "Nitrogen, ammonia (Total Ammonia)". Zero of 41 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the COLD evaluation guideline. Additionally, zero of 8 samples from the mainstem Shasta River and zero of 2 samples from Evans Ditch exceed the SPWN evaluation guideline, however, these sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (A) 16 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of 41 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the COLD evaluation guideline and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.

DECISION ID	24923	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls)
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
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 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use and two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use. Zero of 1,750 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective. Additionally, zero of four water samples exceed the COLD water quality objective, however this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (a) 16 samples, or (b) greater than or equal to 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of 1,750 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.

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 Staff 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.

DECISION ID	22653	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Specific Conductivity
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
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 this section of the policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of one samples from the Evans Ditch and three of thirteen samples from Yreka Creek exceed the objective, however these sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (1) 26 samples, or (2) greater than or equal 5 exceedances of the MUN objective with less than 26 samples is needed for application of Table 3.2. 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) None of the thirty-six samples from the Shasta River exceed the 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.

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 Staff 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.

Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Sulfates
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
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. Three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Shasta River (LOEs 46943, 34239, and 34238), one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in Yreka Creek (LOE 46944), and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in Evans Ditch (LOE 44075). It should be noted that data from LOE 25524 from the 2010 Integrated Report cycle were re-evaluated this current cycle in LOEs 46943 and 46944. Zero of 40 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the objective. Additionally, zero of 9 samples from Yreka Creek and zero of one sample from Evans Ditch exceed the objective, however these sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (1) 26 samples, or (2) greater than or equal to 5 exceedances of the objective with less than 26 samples is needed for application of Table 3.2. 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 (i.e., sufficient justification to not 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) Zero of 40 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the 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.

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 Staff 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.

Klamath River HU, Shasta River HA

Pollutant:	Aluminum
Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Source Unknown
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2025
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, 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 in the mainstem Shasta River (LOEs 41339, 41316, and 47545), and one line of evidence is available to assess this pollutant in Yreka Creek (LOE 47546). It should be noted that data from two additional LOEs from the 2010 Integrated Report cycle (LOEs 25362 and 25363) were not utilized in this decision as the data were re-assessed in LOEs 47545 and 47546. Eight of 36 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceed the objective. Additionally, zero of 10 samples from Yreka Creek exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (A) 16 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1 Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing the mainstem Shasta River on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for aluminum (i.e., sufficient justification to 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) Eight of 36 samples from the mainstem Shasta River exceeded the aluminum objective and this sample size exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the mainstem Shasta River should be placed on the section 303(d) list for Aluminum because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.

State Board Staff 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.
