DECISION ID	69408	Region 4
Ashland Avenue Drain

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
Final Listing Decision:	Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Delist from 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2016)
Revision Status	Original
Reason for Delisting:	Flaws in original listing
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list (listing was for 'high coliform count' on the 2002 list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that Ashland Avenue Drain is an enclosed storm water conveyance. Enclosed storm water conveyance drains do not have designated beneficial uses in the Basin Plan, and therefore, no criteria apply to waters within the drain itself and as such, should not be listed as impaired.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	This is a decision previously approved by the State Water Resources Control Board and the USEPA. No new data were assessed by the Regional Board for the current. The decision has not changed. .

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.
