DECISION ID	72737	Region 1
Goat Rock State Park Beach

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
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)(2016)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Fecal indicator bacteria (which includes enterococcus, fecal coliform and total coliform) are 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 is necessary to assess listing status. Five LOEs are available in the administrative record to assess indicator bacteria and contact recreation (REC-1). In addition, one LOE is available for the assessment of total coliform as it applies to the shellfish harvesting beneficial use (SHELL). Data from LOE 32718 were re-evaluated with LOE 133647. Data from LOE 44734 were re-evaluated with LOE 133595. Data from LOE 25272 were re-evaluated with LOEs 133647 and 133595. Data from LOEs 47627 and 47628 were re-evaluated with LOE 133617. The data assessed in this decision are ocean beach bacteria data collected in accordance with AB411 (Chapter 765, Statutes of 1997) requirements. 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". However, the data assessed in this decision include data collected during months outside the April - October range. Therefore, this pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.3 of the Listing Policy, using a 10% exceedance rate. LOEs 133687 and 133689 were not used in this assessment as they were evaluated at a 4% exceedance rate. The following summary presents the total number of exceedances and total sample count: 1) 2 of 109 samples exceed the Statistical Threshold Value (STV) objective for enterococcus for REC-1; 2) 0 of 354 samples exceed the geometric mean objective for enterococcus for REC-1; 3) 0 of 188 samples exceed the singles sample maximum objective for fecal coliform for REC-1; 4) 0 of 115 samples exceed the geometric mean objective for fecal coliform for REC-1; and 5) 19 of 437 samples exceed the median concentration objective for total coliform for SHELL. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against adding this water segment-pollutant combination to the Section 303(d) list (i.e., sufficient justification to not list). This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: (1) The data used satisfy the data quality requirements of Section 6.1.4 of the Policy. (2) The data used satisfy the data quantity requirements of Section 6.1.5 of the Policy. (3) Enterococcus, fecal coliform, and total coliform samples do not exceed the objectives more than 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. All beneficial uses are fully supported in this waterbody.

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.
