Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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. One hundred and two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use, thirty-six lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use, and fifty-eight lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. It should be noted that data from LOE 30063 do not have evaluation guidelines available to interpret the water quality objectives and, therefore, there is insufficient information to determine if the objective is being exceeded for the pollutants in this LOE. 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 4,171 pesticide water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective, zero of 261 pesticide water samples exceed the COLD objective, and zero of 72 pesticide water samples exceed the COMM objective. These sample sizes do 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	41715	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	Aluminum
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against 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 70 samples exceeded the aluminum objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

Pollutant:	Arsenic \| Cadmium \| Chromium \| Chromium (total) \| Copper \| Lead \| Mercury \| Nickel \| Selenium \| Silver \| Zinc
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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. Nineteen lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Smith River and ten lines of evidence are available to assess MUN in the South Fork Smith River. Two lines of evidence are available to assess the protection of the commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use in the mainstem Smith River and one line of evidence is available to assess COMM in the South Fork Smith River. Fifteen lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the cold freshwater habitat (COLD) beneficial use in the mainstem Smith River and eight LOEs are available to assess COLD in the South Fork Smith River. It should be noted that data from LOE 21530 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed during this listing cycle in LOEs 46874, 46875, 46876, and 46877. Zero of 390 metals water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective in the mainstem Smith River and zero of 234 exceed the MUN objective in the South Fork Smith River. Zero of 60 metals water samples exceed the COLD water quality objective in the mainstem Smith River and zero of 32 exceed the MUN objective in the South Fork Smith River. Additionally, zero of eight metals water samples exceed the COMM water quality objective in the mainstem Smith River and zero of four metals water samples exceed the COMM objective in the South Fork Smith River, 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 390 water samples exceed the MUN water quality objective in the mainstem Smith River and zero of 234 exceed the MUN objective in the South Fork Smith River. Zero of 60 water samples exceed the COLD water quality objective in the mainstem Smith River and zero of 32 exceed the MUN objective in the South Fork Smith River. These samples do not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

DECISION ID	46101	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	Boron
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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 in the mainstem Smith River (LOEs 34100 and 34101) and one line of evidence is available to assess the COLD beneficial use in the South Fork Smith River (LOE 34121). 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 the mainstem Smith River and zero of two samples from the South Fork Smith River 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) 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2012)

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. It should be noted that data from LOE 25632 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed in LOE 46914 during the current listing cycle in order to reflect that, per the Listing Policy, non-detect and detect not quantified (DNQ) data could not be used in this assessment. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category (i.e., sufficient justification to not list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4 of the Policy. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5 of the Policy. (3) The data in LOEs 46914, 34478, 34275, and 34498 evaluating the MUN beneficial use were all non-detect or DNQ and the method detection limit was above the criteria. Thus, per the Listing Policy the data were not used in this assessment. Therefore, there are no data available to assess against protection of the MUN beneficial use. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

One DDD sample collected in the South Fork Smith River HA had a detectable level of DDD and the sample exceeds the evaluation guideline. The sample concentration was reported as detected not quantifiable (DNQ), with estimated value of .001 ug/l (method detection limit of 0.001 ug/l, reporting limit of .002 ug/l). There were also an additional 17 samples from the South Fork Smith River HA, which were non-detect. However, these non-detect data could not be utilized in this assessment because the detection limit for DDD is above the evaluation guideline. Per the listing policy, when a sample value is less than the quantitation limit, and the quantitation limit is greater than the evaluation guideline, the result shall not be used in the analysis. The samples were collected as part of the Surface Water Ambient Water Monitoring Program (SWAMP) (NCRWQCB 2008).

DECISION ID	45450	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	DDE (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene)
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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 municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. It should be noted that data from LOEs 29041, 29040, and 25630 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed in LOEs 46915, 46916, and 46917 respectively during the current listing cycle in order to reflect that, per the Listing Policy, non-detect and detect not quantified (DNQ) data could not be used in this assessment. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category (i.e., sufficient justification to not list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4 of the Policy. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5 of the Policy. (3) The data in LOEs 34479, 34276, 34499, 46915, 46916, and 46917 evaluating the MUN beneficial use were all non-detect or DNQ and the method detection limit was above the criteria. Thus, per the Listing Policy the data were not used in this assessment. Therefore, there are no data available to assess against protection of the MUN beneficial use. (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

It should be noted that data from LOE 25629 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed in LOE 46918 during the current listing cycle in order to reflect that, per the Listing Policy, non-detect and detect not quantified (DNQ) data could not be used in this assessment. Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 34477, 34481, 34274, and 46918 could not be used in this decision as the method detection limit for the non-detect and detect not quantifiable (DNQ) 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 nine water samples exceed 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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

One DDT sample collected in the Middle Fork Smith River HA had a detectable level of DDT and the sample exceeds the evaluation guideline. The sample concentration was reported as detected not quantifiable (DNQ), with estimated value of .003 ug/l (method detection limit of 0.002 ug/l, reporting limit of .005 ug/l). There were also an additional 17 samples from the Middle Fork Smith River HA, which were non-detect. However, these non-detect data could not be utilized in this assessment because the detection limit for DDT is above the evaluation guideline. Per the listing policy, when a sample value is less than the quantitation limit, and the quantitation limit is greater than the evaluation guideline, the result shall not be used in the analysis. The samples were collected as part of the Surface Water Ambient Water Monitoring Program (SWAMP) (NCRWQCB 2008).

DECISION ID	46492	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	Hexachlorobenzene/ HCB
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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 commercial and sport fishing (COMM) beneficial use and four lines of evidence are 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 ?Hexachlorobenzene/ HCB? and the other pollutants from the original decision (DDD [Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane], DDE [Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene], and DDT [Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane]) are now assessed in their own individual decisions. Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 42257, 42256, and 42255 evaluating the COMM beneficial use, and LOEs 42229, 42230, and 42231 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 objective. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category (i.e., sufficient justification to not list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4 of the Policy. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5 of the Policy. (3) One of 42 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	46102	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	Manganese
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Smith River (LOEs 42792 and 42651) and one line of evidence is available to assess the MUN beneficial use in the South Fork Smith River (LOE 42652). 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 from the mainstem Smith River and zero of four samples from the South Fork Smith River exceed the evaluation guideline used to interpret the narrative 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) 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	46192	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

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:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: two for the mainstem Smith River (LOE 43095 and 43093) and one for the South Fork Smith River (LOE 43094). 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).

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 three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use. Zero of 2,698 water samples exceed the MUN criteria. Per the Listing Policy, data from LOEs 33368, 33388, and 33389 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. Additionally zero of six water samples exceed the criteria for COLD, however this sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met, as a minimum of either (a) 16 samples, or (b) greater than or equal to 2 exceedances of the objective with less than 16 samples is needed for application of Table 3.1. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category (i.e., sufficient justification to not list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4 of the Policy. (2) The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5 of the Policy. (3) Zero of 2,698 water samples exceed the MUN criteria and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy (4) Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

DECISION ID	45481	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	Phenol
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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. 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 nine water samples exceed 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

None of the 5 calendar years of data from the mainstem Smith River in the Smith River Plain HSA exceeded the specific conductivity objective. 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 and LOEs 46826 and 46828 re-assesses the data from LOE 21303 from the 2010 Integrated Report cycle, which 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.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Water Quality Control Plan, North Coast Region (NCRWQCB 2011): The site specific objective for the mainstem Smith River in the Smith River Plain HSA is a 90% upper limit of 200 uS. 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 150 uS 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	38910	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the Section 303(d) List under Section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under Section 3.2, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the municipal and domestic supply (MUN) beneficial use in the mainstem Smith River (LOEs 34212, 46953, and 34211), and two lines of evidence are available to assess protection of the MUN beneficial use in the South Fork Smith River (LOEs 34213 and 46952). It should be noted that data from LOE 25543 from the 2010 Integrated Report were re-assessed during the current listing cycle in LOEs 46952 and 46953. 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 54 samples from the mainstem Smith River and zero of 27 samples from the South Fork Smith 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	45177	Region 1
Smith River HU, Smith River watershed

Pollutant:	pH
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)(2012)
Revision Status	Original
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 minimum of one line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against 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 four samples from the South Fork Smith River (LOE 34154) and one of eight samples from the mainstem Smith River (LOEs 34152 and 34153) 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 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:	This region was not assessed this cycle. All decisions have been carried over from the previous cycle and remain the same.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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