DECISION ID	25533	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Source Unknown
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2016
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Fecal indicator bacteria (which includes E. Coli and fecal coliform) are being considered for removal and placement from the Section 303(d) List in 3 parts: (A) CONSIDERING DELISTING- the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek, (B) CONSIDERING LISTING- Dutch Bill Creek, and (C) CONSIDER LISTING- the remainder of the Guerneville HSA. It should be noted that data from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach were incorrectly evaluated in the Russian River HU, Middle Russian River HA, Geyserville HSA water body during the 2010 Integrated Report cycle. The LOEs are now assessed in this water body for the current Integrated Report cycle. Thus, the fecal indicator bacteria listing for the mainstem Russian River from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge will be evaluated under this water body. Additionally, it should be noted that enterococcus and total coliform data were not utilized in this decision for the following reasons: (1) enterococcus is not an appropriate indicator of sewage and pathogens in freshwater as it can come from non-fecal sources, can regrow in the stream environment, and because there is a likelihood of false positive results in freshwater using current analytical methods, and (2) total coliform are widespread in nature and occur in non-fecal sources such as soil and submerged wood. CONSIDERING DELISTING: (A) For the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Mem. Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek 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 (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant in the mainstem Russian River from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge: seven for E. Coli (LOEs 34365, 34362, 46611, 46612, 46610, 34380, and 34383) and two for fecal coliform (LOEs 46613 and 46614). Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant in the mainstem Russian River from Fife Ck. to Dutch Bill Ck.: eight for E. Coli (LOEs 31932, 31967, 31998, 7115, 31860, 31918, 6076, and 31849) and one for fecal coliform (LOE 6075). In accordance with Section 4.3 of the Listing Policy, because there was no site-specific exceedance frequency utilized to list this water body in 2002 and because a 10% exceedance frequency was utilized to evaluate data in the 2010 Integrate Report cycle, waters shall be removed from the section 303(d) List if the number of measured exceedances meet the requirements of Table 4.2, utilizing a 10% exceedance frequency. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Ck. to Dutch Bill Ck. from the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for fecal Indicator Bacteria (i.e., sufficient justification to not delist). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5. (3) 56 of 116 fecal coliform samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Mem. Beach from the railroad bridge to the Hwy. 101 bridge exceed the objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency from Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. (4) 29 of 103 fecal coliform samples from the mainstem Russian R. from Fife Ck. to Dutch Bill Ck. exceed the objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency from Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. (5) Pursuant to Section 4.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (B) For Dutch Bill Creek, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence for E. Coli are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters from the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". If the data collected include months outside the April 1 through October 31 date range, then the data shall be assessed according to Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, at a 10% exceedance rate. Therefore, Dutch Bill Creek is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, using a 10% exceedance rate. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing Dutch Bill Creek on the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for fecal Indicator Bacteria (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) 5 of 5 E. Coli samples from Dutch Bill Creek exceed the single sample maximum evaluation guideline and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (C) For the remainder of the Guerneville HSA, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Thirty-five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: thirty for E. Coli and five for fecal coliform. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy, a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters to the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". Accordingly, data were evaluated utilizing a 4% exceedance rate with the exception of the following E. Coli LOEs which were evaluated at a 10% exceedance rate: (1) Fife Creek LOE 6139, Hobson Creek LOE 6148, Johnsons Beach LOE 7078, and Odd Fellows LOE 7079. Data from each freshwater beach along the mainstem Russian River were evaluated independently, as were data from each tributary to the Russian River. None of the E. Coli or fecal coliform samples at any of the freshwater beaches on the mainstem Russian River or tributaries to the Russian River (both single samples and geomean values) exceed the allowable exceedance rate. 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. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5. (3) E. Coli and fecal coliform samples do not exceed the objectives more than the allowable frequency identified in Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, 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, North Coast Regional Water Board staff concludes that: (A) For the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Highway 101 bridge and the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to DutchBill Creek, 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. (B) For Dutch Bill Creek, 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. (C) For the remainder of the Guerneville HSA, 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:	(5) Pursuant to Section 4.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (B) For Dutch Bill Creek, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence for E. Coli are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters from the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". If the data collected include months outside the April 1 through October 31 date range, then the data shall be assessed according to Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, at a 10% exceedance rate. Therefore, Dutch Bill Creek is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy, using a 10% exceedance rate. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing Dutch Bill Creek on the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category for fecal Indicator Bacteria (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) 5 of 5 E. Coli samples from Dutch Bill Creek exceed the single sample maximum evaluation guideline and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. CONSIDERING LISTING: (C) For the remainder of the Guerneville HSA, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence (LOE) is necessary to assess listing status. Thirty-five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: thirty for E. Coli and five for fecal coliform. In accordance with Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy, a 4% exceedance rate shall be used to add waters to the List "if water quality monitoring was conducted April 1 through October 31 only". Accordingly, data were evaluated utilizing a 4% exceedance rate with the exception of the following E. Coli LOEs which were evaluated at a 10% exceedance rate: (1) Fife Creek LOE 6139, Hobson Creek LOE 6148, Johnsons Beach LOE 7078, and Odd Fellows LOE 7079. Data from each freshwater beach along the mainstem Russian River were evaluated independently, as were data from each tributary to the Russian River. None of the E. Coli or fecal coliform samples at any of the freshwater beaches on the mainstem Russian River or tributaries to the Russian River (both single samples and geomean values) exceed the allowable exceedance rate. 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. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5. (3) E. Coli and fecal coliform samples do not exceed the objectives more than the allowable frequency identified in Section 3.3 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

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

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

In the Russian River at Steelhead Beach, e.coli samples were collected while fecal coliform samples were not collected. Since e. coli is one of the group of bacteria that comprise the fecal coliform group, it is logical that if median e.coli concentrations for any 30-day period are greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml, then the median fecal coliform concentrations for any 30-day period will also be greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml. Of the 72 e. coli samples collected, 48 median e. coli concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these48 median values, none exceed the objective. E.coli median values range from 10 to 30 MPN / 100 ml.

The samples were collected by staff of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The data for 2002 to 2007 are presented in the Russian River Pathogen Data Report of the Russian River Pathogen Project Database (ICE 2008). The data for 2008 are presented by the Regional Water Board (NCRWQCB 2008).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

In total between 1992 and 2007, of the 80 median fecal coliform or median e. coli samples collected from the Russian River at Odd Fellows Beach, 3 exceed the objective.

Fecal coliform samples were collected from 1992 to 2001. Of the 68 fecal coliform samples collected, 45 median fecal coliform concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these 45 median values, 3 exceed the objective. The median fecal coliform values range from 11 to 70 MPN / 100 ml.

From 2002 to 2007, e.coli samples were collected while fecal coliform samples were not collected. Since e. coli is one of the group of bacteria that comprise the fecal coliform group, it is logical that if median e.coli concentrations for any 30-day period are greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml, then the median fecal coliform concentrations for any 30-day period will also be greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml. Of the 51 e. coli samples collected,
35 median e. coli concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these 35 median values, none exceed the objective. E.coli median values range from 10 to 31 MPN / 100 ml.

The samples were collected by staff of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The data for 1992 to 2007 are presented in the Russian River Pathogen Data Report of the Russian River Pathogen Project Database (ICE 2008). The data for 2008 are presented by the Regional Water Board (NCRWQCB 2008).

The samples were collected from the mainstem Russian River at Monte Rio Beach in Monte Rio. The sampling site is downstream of the children's swim area. Samples were collected as far into the main river flow as possible while wading.

Temporal Representation:

Samples were generally collected once a week during the summer months between Memorial Day and Labor Day in 1997 - 2003 and 2005 - 2007. For 2008, samples were collected from May 27, 2008 to July 15, 2008. The samples were often collected on the same day of the week and at the same time of day.

Environmental Conditions:

There are no known environmental conditions (e.g., seasonality, land use practices, fire events, storms, etc.) that are related to these data.

QAPP Information:

The samples were collected in accordance with the "Protocol for Conducting Russian River Bacteriological Sampling at Summer Recreational Beaches" (Goodwin 2007).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

In total between 1992 and 2008, of the 103 median fecal coliform or median e. coli samples collected from the Russian River at Johnsons Beach, 4 exceed the objective.

Fecal coliform samples were collected from 1997 to 2001. Of the 70 fecal coliform samples collected, 48 median fecal coliform concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these 48 median values, 2 exceed the objective. The median values range from 13 to 70 MPN / 100 ml.

From 2002 to 2008, e.coli samples were collected while fecal coliform samples were not collected. Since e. coli is one of the group of bacteria that comprise the fecal coliform group, it is logical that if median e.coli concentrations for any 30-day period are greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml, then the median fecal coliform concentrations for any 30-day period will also be greater than 50 MPN / 100 ml. Of the 78 e. coli samples collected,
55 median e. coli concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these 55 median values, 2 exceed the objective. E.coli median values range from 10 to 51 MPN / 100 ml.

The samples were collected by staff of the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board. The data for 1992 to 2007 are presented in the Russian River Pathogen Data Report of the Russian River Pathogen Project Database (ICE 2008). The data for 2008 are presented by the Regional Water Board (NCRWQCB 2008).

The data for 1997 - 2007 are presented in the Russian River Pathogen Data Report of the Russian River Pathogen Project Database (ICE 2008). The data for 2008 are presented by the Regional Water Board (NCRWQCB 2008). This LOE is an exact duplicate of LOE 5935 from the Russian River HU, Middle Russian River HA, Geyserville HSA water body. The data from the Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach was incorrectly assessed in the Geyserville HSA water body, and this LOE represents the transfer of that data to the correct water body. No changes were made to the original LOE aside from placing it in the correct water body. LOE 5935 will not be used in the Indicator Bacteria Decision in the Geyserville HSA, and will be retired after the change has been reflected and this listing cycle has been completed.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

Of the 19 fecal coliform samples collected from the Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach, 12 median fecal coliform concentration values were calculated based on a minimum of not less than 5 samples for any 30-day period. Of these 12 median values, 7 exceed the objective. Median value concentrations range from 30 to 130 MPN / 100 ml. Samples were collected by Regional Water Board staff as part of a targeted sampling event on the Russian River around Fitch Mountain. Data are summarized by Goodwin (1997). This LOE is an duplicate of LOE 6118 from the Russian River HU, Middle Russian River HA, Geyserville HSA water body, with a minor edit to reflect that there were 19 samples collected (not 20). The data from the Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach was incorrectly assessed in the Geyserville HSA water body, and this LOE represents the transfer of that data to the correct water body.

DECISION ID	26767	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Sedimentation/Siltation
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2010)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Flow Alteration/Regulation/Modification \| Removal of Riparian Vegetation \| Streambank Modification/Destabilization
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2025
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant water body combination is being considered in two parts: (1) the re-listing of Pocket Canyon Creek, as the justification for delisting was inappropriate, and (2) the removal the entire water body from the section 303(d) list under section 4.2 of the Listing Policy. RE-LIST POCKET CANYON CREEK DUE TO FLAWS IN ORIGINAL DELISTING: The entire Russian River Hydrologic Unit, including Pocket Canyon Creek, was first listed for sediment in 1998. During the 2010 Integrated Report cycle, Pocket Canyon Creek was incorrectly removed from the 303(d) List for sedimentation/siltation impairment. Based upon State Water Resources Control Board staff discussions with California Department of Fish and Wildlife staff, the evaluation guideline used in LOE 1714 to interpret the narrative objective was inappropriate to use for listing and delisting purposes. At the present time, natural background turbidity levels have not been determined for this watershed, and exceedence probabilities (the turbidity levels, associated with flow, that are exceeded X% of the time) have not been calculated. Thus, there is currently no appropriate evaluation guideline for turbidity in this water body, and no way to determine whether the turbidity objective is being exceeded. Additionally, the listing is for sedimentation/siltation and not turbidity. Therefore, additional types of sediment data would be needed in order to assess if delisting is appropriate. DO NOT DELIST: 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. Seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. It should be noted that data from four additional LOEs (1714, 1707, 1706, and 1710) are re-evaluated in LOEs 31546, 31548, 31549, and 31547 respectively. 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) 303(d) listing determinations made prior to 2006 were not held in an assessment database. LOE 4759 is a placeholder for the 303(d) listing data and information from a previous assessment cycle that was initially utilized to make this listing determination. (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.

Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Flow Alteration/Regulation/Modification \| Removal of Riparian Vegetation
Expected TMDL Completion Date:	2019
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 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. It should be noted that data LOE 6084 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed during this listing cycle in LOEs 46805; and LOEs 32991 and 33217 from the current Integrated Report cycle was not used in this decision as the data are provisional and have not gone through any quality assurance check. Zero of three grab samples from Fife Creek (LOE 46805) and one of 10 grab samples from the mainstem Russian River (LOEs 43267, 43266, and 32060) exceed the objective and these sample sizes are not sufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use is being protected, as a minimum of 26 samples is needed for application of Table 4.2. 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) 303(d) listing determinations made prior to 2006 were not held in an assessment database. LOE 4757 is a placeholder for the 303(d) listing data and information from a previous assessment cycle that was initially utilized to make this listing determination. (4) 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 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:

Per the Basin Plan (NCRWQCB 2011): The 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 by more than 5°F above natural receiving water temperature. At no time or place shall the temperature of WARM intrastate waters be increased more than 5°F above natural receiving water temperature.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

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

Evaluation Guideline:

If the natural receiving water temperature has not been altered, or if alternation is unknown, the evaluation guideline to determine adverse affect on the mostsensitive beneficial use (in this case, salmonids) is as follows. Per the "Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids" (Carter 2008), the lethal temperature evaluation guidelines for the most sensitive salmonid species (in this case, steelhead trout) are 20°C during spawning, egg incubation, and fry emergence and 24°C during adult migration, adult holding, and juvenile growth and rearing. These guidelines are for chronic exposure and require data that is collected for at least 7 consecutive days as salmonids may survive brief periods at these temperatures. Acute lethal temperature thresholds were selected by Carter (2008) based upon best professional judgment of the literature.

Evaluation Guideline:

EVIDENCE OF ALTERATION OF NATURAL RECEIVING WATER TEMPERATURES (NON-NATURAL TEMPS): Water temperatures of the Russian River HA, including the Guerneville HSA, do not reflect natural conditions as environmental factors that influence water temperature have been altered by human activities. Examples of human alteration to the Russian River include flow changes resulting from the Potter Valley Project and dam construction, as well as landuse practices, such as logging and agriculture, which have resulted in alterations to streambanks, channel morphology, and stream temperatures (FERC 2002). EVIDENCE OF SALMONID PRESENCE & LIFE CYCLE USE: Coho, steelhead, and Chinook are all present in the Russian River watershed (CDFG 2002). Spawning, incubation, and emergence for these three salmonid species cumulatively occurs November through the end of May. Steelhead juveniles rear year-round in the Russian River (Steiner Environmental Consulting 1996).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The natural receiving water temperature of Fife Creek has been altered due to the removal of riparian vegetation and the subsequent loss of shade, human landscaping along channel banks downstream of Armstrong Woods, changes in the channel substrate and geometry from excess sediment loads, and other human activities. In order to determine if temperature adversely affects beneficial uses, Regional Water Board staff attempted to compare the samples to the 20°C and 24°C lethal temperature evaluation guidelines. It is unknown if any of the 3 samples exceed the evaluation guideline as the samples were not collected over 7 consecutive days and were therefore incomparable. The samples were collected as part of a targeted sampling event on Fife Creek. Data are summarized in Goodwin (1999).

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. Seventy-seven lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, sixty-nine 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 LOEs 29886 and 46605 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 these LOEs. Zero of 3,395 pesticide water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective, zero of 156 pesticide water samples exceeded the COLD objective, zero of 150 pesticide water samples exceeded the WARM objective, and zero of 48 pesticide water samples exceeded the COMM objective. Additionally, zero of one sediment sample for each of the pesticides assessed in this decision exceed the COLD and WARM water quality toxicity 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. 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 3,395 pesticide water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective, zero of 156 pesticide water samples exceeded the COLD objective, zero of 150 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	22910	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Arsenic \| Cadmium \| Chromium (total) \| Copper \| Lead \| Mercury \| Nickel \| Selenium \| Silver \| Toxicity \| 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. Seventeen lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use, twenty-three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, six lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use, and two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use. It should be noted that data from LOE 21545 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed during this listing cycle in LOEs 46863, 46864, and 46865. Zero of 372 metals water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective and zero of 64 metals water samples exceeded the COLD water quality objective. Additionally, zero of eight water samples exceed the COMM objective and zero of one sediment sample for each of the metals assessed in this decision exceed the COLD and WARM water quality objective (although the sample did not reflect sediment toxicity), 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. 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 372 metals water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective and zero of 64 metals water samples exceeded the COLD 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.

SWAMP

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Per the Basin Plan (NCRWQCB 2011): All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are toxic to, or that produce detrimental physiological responses in human, plant, animal, or aquatic life. Compliance with this objective will be determined by use of indicator organisms, analyses of species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, bioassays of appropriate duration, or other appropriate methods as specified by the Regional Water Board.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Evaluation Guideline:

Toxicity is defined as a statistically significant effect in the sample exposure compared to the control using EPA-recommended hypothesis testing. For SWAMP data exceedances are counted with the significant effect code SL. SL is defined as the result being significant compared to the negative control based on a statistical test, less than stated the alpha level, AND less than the evaluation threshold.

DECISION ID	31723	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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 agricultural supply (AGR) 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 evaluation guideline used to interpret the narrative 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.

Evaluation Guideline:

Water Quality for Agriculture, published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1985, contains criteria protective of various agricultural uses of water, including irrigation of various types of crops and stock watering. At or below the limits presented in the Water Quality Goals tables, agricultural uses of water should not be limited. These criteria were used to translate narrative water quality objectives for chemical constituents that prohibit chemicals in concentrations that would impair agricultural uses of water. The criteria for boron is 700 ug/L (0.7 mg/L).

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. Four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Russian River (LOEs 25450, 46518, 33853, and 33854), and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in Fife Creek (LOE 6088). Zero of 61 samples from the mainstem Russian River exceed the objective. Additionally, zero of 3 samples from Fife Creek exceed the 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 (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 61 samples from the mainstem Russian 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.

DECISION ID	31294	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Chromium
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. Four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use, one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use, and two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use. Zero of 50 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective. Additionally, one of one sediment sample exceed both the COLD and WARM objective (although the sample did not reflect sediment toxicity), 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. 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 50 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	31405	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	DDD (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane)
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 and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use. Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 34604 and 34583 evaluating the MUN beneficial use could not be used in this decision as the method detection limit for the non-detect samples was greater than the 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 (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 water sample exceeds the COLD criteria, 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.

Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 46526, 34586, and 34582 evaluating the MUN beneficial use could not be used in this decision as the method detection limit for the non-detect samples was greater than the 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 (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 six water samples and zero of two sediment samples exceed their respective COLD criteria. One of one water sample exceeds the MUN criteria. 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.

DECISION ID	25206	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Diazinon
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. Six lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use, and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. Zero of 52 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective. Additionally zero of one sediment sample and one of eleven water samples exceed the evaluation guideline for COLD and zero of one sediment sample and zero of six water samples exceed the WARM criteria, 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. 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 52 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.

Spatial Representation:

Samples were collected from the mainstem Russian River at 2 locations: (1) at Midway Beach, which is located approximately 1 mile upstream of the Highway 116 Bridge in Guerneville; and (2) at Hacienda Bridge.

Temporal Representation:

Weekly samples were collected from the Midway Beach site from August 8, 1994 to January 5, 1995, and again from May 8 to August 8, 1995. Weekly samples were collected from Hacienda Bridge from January 17 to May 1, 1995.

Environmental Conditions:

At the Midway Beach site, the Russian River was impounded for recreation during the summer months. During this period, there is a chance that the river was not mixed adequately. Pesticides that tend to adhere to sediment have the potential to settle and pesticides within the impounded area may not be completely mixed across the cross section. Otherwise, there are no known environmental conditions (e.g., seasonality, fire events, storms, etc.) that are related to these data.

Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Dimethoate
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. Two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use, and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. It should be noted that the pollutant name for this decision was changed from Pesticides to Dimethoate and each of the pollutants from the original decision (dimethoate, disulfoton, and Hexachlorobenzene/ HCB) are now assessed in their own individual decisions. Zero of 52 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective. Additionally zero of six water samples exceed the evaluation guideline for both COLD and WARM, 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. 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 52 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	31403	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Disulfoton
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) One of thirty-six samples exceed the criteria for the MUN beneficial use 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.

Pollutant:	Hexachlorobenzene/ HCB
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. Four 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 commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use. Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 42240 and 42241 evaluating the COMM beneficial use, and LOEs 42215, 46601, and 42214 evaluating the MUN beneficial use could not be used in this decision as the method detection limit for the non-detect samples was greater than the 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 (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 seventeen samples exceeds the criteria for the MUN beneficial use 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.

Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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:

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

DECISION ID	31295	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Nickel
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. Four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use, one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use, five lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, and two lines of evidence are available to assess the protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use. Zero of 50 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective. Additionally, zero of eight water samples exceed both the COLD and COMM water quality objectives, and one of one sediment sample exceed both the COLD and WARM toxicity objectives (although the sample did not reflect sediment toxicity), 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. 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 50 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.

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. Fourteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: seven for the mainstem Russian river (LOEs 32892, 32910, 32893, 46968, 32891, 32912, and 32418) two for Dutch Bill Creek (LOEs 46967 and 46972), and one for each of Hobson Creek (LOE 46970), Fife Creek (LOE 46969), Jenner Gulch (LOE 46966), Lancel Creek (LOE 46971), and Pocket Canyon Creek (LOE 46965). It should be noted that LOEs 6138, 6147, 8990, 8995, 8984, 8906, 8918, and 6130 from the 2010 Integrated Report were not used in this decision, and the data are re-evaluated in LOEs 46969, 46970, 46965, 46968, 46971, 46972, 46966, and 46967 respectively. Zero of 210 nitrate samples from the mainstem Russian River, zero of 81 samples from Pocket Canyon Creek, zero of 134 samples from Dutch Bill Creek, zero of 27 samples from Lancel Creek, and zero of 21 samples from Jenner Creek exceed the water quality objective. Additionally, zero of one nitrate sample from both Hobson Creek and Fife Creek 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. 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 210 nitrate samples from the mainstem Russian River, zero of 81 samples from Pocket Canyon Creek, zero of 134 samples from Dutch Bill Creek, zero of 27 samples from Lancel Creek, and zero of 21 samples from Jenner Creek exceed the 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	32011	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: one for the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach (LOE 43072) and one for the mainstem Russian River at Johnsons Beach (LOE 43073). 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 from both the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach and the mainstem Russian River at Johnsons Beach 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.

DECISION ID	31402	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Nonylphenol
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 warm freshwater habitat (WARM) beneficial use and 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 six water samples exceed the criteria used to interpret the narrative objective for both WARM and COLD, 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.

DECISION ID	18513	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Oxygen, Dissolved
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. Twelve lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. It should be noted that data from an additional three LOEs from the 2006 Integrated Report cycle (LOE 1709, 1705, and 1711) are re-assessed in LOEs 46841, 46840, and 46842 respectively; and LOE 32638 from the current Integrated Report cycle was not used in this decision as the data are provisional and have not gone through any quality assurance check. One of four samples from Fife Creek (LOE 6083) and one of 24 samples from Jenner Gulch (LOE 8915) 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 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) Nine of 162 samples from the mainstem Russian River (LOEs 34130, 34131, 8994, and 32829), three of 32 samples from Lancel Creek (LOEs 8985 and 46841), 21 of 158 samples from Dutch Bill Creek (LOEs 8907 and 46840), and 15 of 118 samples from Pocket Canyon Creek (LOEs 8991 and 46842) 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.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

One of the 24 samples collected in Jenner Gulch exceeded the minimum DO water quality objective. Data were divided into two categories, 1) no spawning, incubation, and emergence occurring and 2) spawning, incubation, and emergence occurring. Presence and absence of salmonid species was determined by utilizing CDFG map (Brooks 2002). Timing of spawning, incubation, and emergence was determined utilizing Steiner Environmental Consulting (1996).

The DO values when no spawning, incubation, and emergence were occurring ranged from 8.8 mg/L to 12.9 mg/L (0 exceedences of the objective). DO values during times of spawning, incubation, and emergence ranged from 8.5 mg/L to 14.3 mg/L (1 exceedences of the objective).

These samples were collected by the Community Clean Water Institutes Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program (CCWI 2005, CCWI 2006, and CCWI 2007).

DECISION ID	24500	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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 cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use and Four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. Zero of 1,110 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective. Additionally zero of four water samples and zero of one sediment sample exceed the COLD 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. Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 33337, 33336, and 46520 could not be used in this decision as the method detection limit for the non-detect samples was greater than the 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 (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 1,110 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	25645	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

Pollutant:	Phosphorus
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. Thirteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. It is unknown if any of the phosphorus samples exceed the water quality objective as there is insufficient information available to determine exceedance. Specifically, the samples cannot be compared to the objective because diel samples for dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and/or chlorophyll-a are not available. Nutrients such as phosphorus do not impair beneficial uses by themselves, or cause non-attainment of the objective. Rather, they cause indirect impacts through algal growth and extreme diel patterns for DO and pH, which then impair uses. Waterbody-specific factors such as riparian cover, flow conditions, and stream channel configuration also affect how nutrients are processed within the stream and play a large role in determining whether or not nuisance algal conditions will prevail. For these reasons, comparing a single nutrient value to the biostimulatory objective is not recommended. Instead, nutrient-related indicator parameters, such as diel measurements of DO, pH, and/or chlorophyll-a, should be evaluated to determine attainment of the objective and protection of beneficial uses. When nutrient-related indicator parameters exceed targets, nutrient concentrations will then be analyzed to determine whether phosphorus should be added to a possible listing under the 303(d) List. Therefore, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient information available to determine if it is appropriate to place this water segment-pollutant combination on the Section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category. This conclusion is also 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) Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. Note: Lines of evidence for both orthophosphate and total dissolved phosphorus data support this Decision. Total dissolved phosphorus includes orthophosphate. Phosphorus is used as the pollutant for this Decision because it includes both fractions and is easier to understand its relationship to other nutrients and the water quality objective.

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.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

It is unknown whether the 1 phosphorus sample collected in Hobson Creek exceeds the objective as there is insufficient information available to determine exceedance. Specifically, the sample cannot be compared to the objective because diel samples for dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and/or chlorophyll-a are not available. Nutrients, such as phosphorus, alone do not impair beneficial uses or cause non-attainment of the objective. Rather, they cause indirect impacts through algal growth and extreme diel patterns for DO and pH, which then impair uses. Waterbody-specific factors such as riparian cover, flow conditions, and stream channel configuration also affect how nutrients are processed within the stream and play a large role in determining whether or not nuisance algal conditions will prevail. For these reasons, comparing a single nutrient value to the biostimulatory objective is not recommended. Instead, nutrient-related indicator parameters, such as diel measurements of DO, pH, and/or chlorophyll-a, should be evaluated to determine attainment of the objective and protection of beneficial uses. When nutrient-related indicator parameters exceed targets, nutrient concentrations will then be analyzed to determine whether phosphorus should be added to a possible listing under the 303(d) List. The sample concentration is 0.32 mg/l. The sample was collected as part of the Russian River First Flush sampling event. Data are summarized by Katznelson et al. (2003).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

It is unknown whether any of the 27 phosphorus samples collected in Lancel Creek exceed the objective as there is insufficient information available to determine exceedance. Specifically, the samples cannot be compared to the objective because diel samples for dissolved oxygen (DO), pH, and/or chlorophyll-a are not available. Nutrients, such as phosphorus, alone do not impair beneficial uses or cause non-attainment of the objective. Rather, they cause indirect impacts through algal growth and extreme diel patterns for DO and pH, which then impair uses. Waterbody-specific factors such as riparian cover, flow conditions, and stream channel configuration also affect how nutrients are processed within the stream and play a large role in determining whether or not nuisance algal conditions will prevail. For these reasons, comparing a single nutrient value to the biostimulatory objective is not recommended. Instead, nutrient-related indicator parameters, such as diel measurements of DO, pH, and/or chlorophyll-a, should be evaluated to determine attainment of the objective and protection of beneficial uses. When nutrient-related indicator parameters exceed targets, nutrient concentrations will then be analyzed to determine whether phosphorus should be added to a possible listing under the 303(d) List. The sample concentrations range from non-detect (reporting limits of 0.03 mg/L and 0.1 mg/L) to 0.31 mg/L. These samples were collected by the Community Clean Water Institutes Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring Program (CCWI 2005, CCWI 2006, and CCWI 2007).

DECISION ID	24453	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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. Four lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Russian River (LOEs 33862, 25562, 46523, and 33863) and one line of evidence is available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in Fife Creek (LOE 6089). Zero of 61 samples from the mainstem Russian River exceed the objective. Additionally, zero of 3 samples from Fife Creek exceed the 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 (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 61 samples from the mainstem Russian 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.

Pollutant:	Total Dissolved Solids
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. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. It should be noted that data from a fourth LOE from the 2010 Integrated Report (LOE 6090) was re-assessed during this listing cycle in LOE 46835. 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) Zero of three samples from Fife Creek (LOE 46835), zero of two samples from the mainstem Russian River downstream of the Laguna de Santa Rosa (LOEs 34902), and zero of two samples from the mainstem Russian River upstream of the Laguna de Santa Rosa (LOE 34901) exceed the objective, and 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) 26 samples, or (B) greater than or equal 5 exceedances of the MUN objective with less than 26 samples is needed for application of Table 3.2. (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:

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Water Quality Control Plan, North Coast Region (NCRWQCB 2011): The site specific objective for the mainstem Russian River downstream of the Laguna de Santa Rosa is a 90% upper limit of 200 mg/L. Therefore, 90% of the values in a calendar year must be lower than this limit. In addition the site specific objective of 50% upper limit of 170 mg/L which represents the 50 percentile values of the monthly means for a calendar year applies to this water body. Therefore, 50% or more of the monthly means in a calendar year must be less than or equal to an upper limit.

DECISION ID	24647	Region 1
Russian River HU, Lower Russian River HA, Guerneville HSA

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. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant in the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 (LOEs 41359 and 46517) and two lines of evidence are available to assess this pollutant in the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek near Guerneville to Dutchbill Creek near Monte Rio (LOEs 46956 and 41378). It should be noted that data from LOE 25386 from the 2010 Integrated Report cycle were re-assessed this current listing cycle in LOE 46956. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing the mainstem Russian River: (A) at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 and (B) from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek, on the section 303(d) list for aluminum in the Water Quality Limited Segments category (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) Seven of 26 samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 and 13 of 32 samples from the reach of the mainstem Russian River from Fife Creek to Dutchbill Creek exceeded the aluminum objective. These sample sizes 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 mainstem Russian River: (1) at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 and (2) from Fife Creek to Dutch Bill Creek, should be placed on the section 303(d) list for aluminum impairment 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.

Pollutant:	Specific Conductivity
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 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section of the policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. It should be noted that data from six additional LOEs from the 2010 Integrated Report are re-assessed in new LOEs this Integrated Report cycle, as follows: (1) data from LOE 6126 is re-assessed in LOE 46818; (2) data from LOE 6142 are re-assessed in LOE 46817; (3) data from LOEs 6134 and 6085 are re-assessed in LOEs 46819 and 46820 respectively, (4) data from LOE 21494 are re-assessed in LOE 46814; and (5) data from LOE 21496 are re-assessed in LOE 46815. Six of the eight samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 exceed the objective. Zero of three samples from Dutch Bill Creek (LOE 46818), one of one sample from Hobson Creek (LOE 46817), zero of twelve samples from the mainstem Russian River from the Wohler Bridge to Monte Rio (LOEs 46814, 46815, and 34201), and zero of four samples from Fife Creek (LOEs 46819 and 46820) 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 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 in favor of placing the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to the Highway 101 bridge on the section 303(d) list for specific conductivity 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) Six of the eight samples from the mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial Beach from the railroad bridge to highway 101 exceed the objective, and this exceeds 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 mainstem Russian River at Healdsburg Memorial beach from the railroad bridge to the Highway 101 bridge should be placed on the section 303(d) list for specific conductivity because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

Zero of the 1 specific conductivity sample collected in Hobson Creek exceeds the specific conductivity water quality objective. The sample concentration is 433 uS. The sample was collected as part of the Russian River First Flush sampling event. Data are summarized by Katznelson et al. (2003). This LOE re-assesses data from LOE 6142 from the 2010 Integrated Report cycle, which incorrectly compared the data against the site-specific specific conductivity objective for the mainstem Russian River. The data are now compared to the secondary MCL as is appropriate.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

None of the calendar years data for the sites on the mainstem Russian River downstream of the Laguna de Santa Rosa exceeded the specific conductivity objective. There were 0 of 6 exceedances for the 6 years calendar years of data for Johnsons Beach, and 0 of 1 exceedances for the single calendar year of data from each of the following sites: Odd Fellows Crossing, Monte Rio, and Vacation Beach. The samples were collected as part of the Surface Water Ambient Water Monitoring Program (SWAMP). The data are found in the SWAMP Summary Report for the North Coast Region for Years 2000-2006 (NCRWQCB 2008). This LOE replaces LOE 21496 from the 2010 Integrated Report. LOE 21496 incorrectly assessed each individual sample against the objective, instead of evaluating the calendar years worth of data for each site against the objective as is appropriate.
