Reason for Delisting: |
Delisting due to spatial change or other CalWQA administrative reason |
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: |
Pollutant |
|
Regional Board Conclusion: |
De-listing due to a mapping change. The listing for sediment Sonoma Creek originated from fine sediment impacts to spawning and rearing habitat as noted in the TMDL. The TMDL provides actions to reduce fine sediment input to the non-tidal portion of the main stem and all freshwater tributaries. When Sonoma Creek was a single water body segment, the impairment and TMDL applied to entire main stem segment. Now that we have separated Sonoma Creek into tidal and non-tidal segments for the Integrated Report purposes, we removed the listing for sediment from the tidal segment to be consistent with the impairment analyses and implementation actions required in the TMDL. |
|
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: |
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are not being exceeded. |

Regional Board Conclusion: |
303(d) listing decisions made prior to 2006 were not held in an assessment database. The Regional Boards will update this decision when new data and information become available and are assessed. A TMDL has been developed and approved by USEPA (2/29/2008) and an approved implementation plan is expected to result in attainment of the standard. This provides a sufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination in the Water Quality Limited Segments Being Addressed portion of the section 303(d) list. |
