Water Body ID:	CAE5440000020110406223035
Water Body Type:	Estuary


DECISION ID	97300	Region 5
Village West Marina (part of Delta Waterways (eastern portion)

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)(2016)
Revision Status	Original
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA 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. One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Two of the three daily minimum dissolved oxygen measurements do not meet the the water quality objective of 5.0 mg/L. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA 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. Two of three daily minimum dissolved oxygen measurements samples do not meet the water quality objective, and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. According to the Listing policy and Table 3.2, a minimum of five samples is required to list a water body for conventional pollutants, including dissolved oxygen. 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 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 following stations: Village West Marina 1.1 Village West Marina 1.2 Village West Marina 1.3 Village West Marina 2.1 Village West Marina 2.2 Village West Marina 2.3 Village West Marina 3.1 Village West Marina 3.2 Village West Marina 3.3 Village West Marina 4.1 Village West Marina 4.2 Village West Marina 4.3. "Village West Marina" denotes the study region, the first number denotes the station number, and the second number denotes the sampling event number.
The four sampling stations are close enough to be considered the same location per section 6.1.5.2 of the Listing Policy. Further, the California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) report that describes the monitoring design states, ¿The four samples taken inside each marina and the four samples taken for each LRS area during each sampling event represented sub-samples for that particular marina and LRS area.¿ (DPR, 2009, page 15) This provides additional justification for considering the four Village West Marina stations to be considered the same location. As a result, staff assessed the Village West Marina data collected during each sampling event as one location.

Temporal Representation:

Samples were collected once a month from July 2006 to September 2006 at Village West Marina (part of Delta Waterways (eastern portion)).

Environmental Conditions:

QAPP Information:

Samples were collected and analyzed in accordance with a Quality Assurance Project Plan that was prepared per State Water Resources Control Board Agreement No. 05-218-250 California Department of Pesticide Regulation, Sacramento, CA.

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. One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the three samples exceed the evaluation guideline. 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 exceed the evaluation guideline and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using 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.
