Water Body Name:	Cahuilla, Lake
Water Body ID:	CAL7194700020091211042746
Water Body Type:	Lake & Reservoir


DECISION ID	101957	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	2-Methylnaphthalene
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of the two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	75597	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Aldrin
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water) and 3.5 (for tissue) of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, four for water and two for tissue. Zero of two samples exceed the objective for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Warm Freshwater Habitat beneficial uses assessed for water samples. Zero of zero samples exceed the objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed for water samples. For each beneficial use, all two of the samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the objective for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Warm Freshwater Habitat beneficial uses assessed for tissue samples. 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 two samples exceed the objective for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Warm Freshwater Habitat beneficial uses assessed for water samples. Zero of zero samples exceed the objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed for water samples. For each beneficial use, all two of the samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the objective for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Warm Freshwater Habitat beneficial uses assessed for tissue samples. The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Zero of two sample(s) exceed the criteria for the protection of freshwater aquatic life (National Recommended Water Quality Criteria, 2009) for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of two sample(s) exceed the criteria for the protection of freshwater aquatic life (National Recommended Water Quality Criteria, 2009) for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. 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 26 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 two samples exceed the USEPA Health Advisory for lifetime exposure as a drinking water level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" assessed. 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the USEPA Health Advisory for lifetime exposure as a drinking water level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" assessed. 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence each for water samples and sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat."

Pollutant:	Arsenic
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply," "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." Zero of one sediment sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply," "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." Zero of one sediment sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	101985	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Azoxystrobin
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed. 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	101987	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Benzo(a)anthracene
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for a beneficial use assessed: "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" Zero of zero water samples exceed the water quality objective for a beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms." All two of the samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) were above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for a beneficial use assessed: "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" Zero of zero water samples exceed the water quality objective for a beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms."

The sample sizes are 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.

All two of the samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for the beneficial use assessed: "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for the beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply." All two of the samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Pollutant:	Bifenthrin
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence each for water samples and sediment samples. Zero of one water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of one water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	68762	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Chlordane
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples), 3.5 (for tissue samples), and 3.6 (for sediment samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants in sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, one for water, three for tissue and two for sediment. Water: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using sediment sample(s). 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 two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed using sediment sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	101997	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Chloride
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the two samples exceed the guideline for each of the three beneficial uses assessed: "Cold Freshwater Habitat," "Warm Freshwater Habitat " and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." 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 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. Zero of the two samples exceed the guideline for each of the three beneficial uses assessed: "Cold Freshwater Habitat," "Warm Freshwater Habitat " and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." 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 26 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA 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. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for two of the beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The 1 sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. 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 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.

DECISION ID	101999	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Chlorpyrifos, methyl
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Warm Freshwater Habitat" 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 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. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Warm Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Chromium
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply."

DECISION ID	102003	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Copper
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102007	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Cypermethrin
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Four lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of zero water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The one sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms." Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms." Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 3.1 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the three beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply" . 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the three beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Diazinon
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of one water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat," and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of one water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat," and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102019	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Dibenz[a,h]anthracene
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed. Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial uses assessed. The 2 samples collected were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed. Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial uses assessed. The 2 samples collected were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	72858	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Dieldrin
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (water), 3.5 (tissue), and 3.6 (sediment) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants in sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, four for water, three for tissue and two for sediment. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). For each beneficial use assessed, all two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial uses assessed using tissue sample(s). Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed using sediment sample(s). The one sample was not used in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy. 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. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). For each beneficial use assessed, all two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5.

Sediment: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed using sediment sample(s). The one sample was not used in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy. The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102020	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Endosulfan
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.5 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.5, 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 two samples exceed the water quality objectives for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed. The 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	79385	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Endrin
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (water), 3.5 (tissue), and 3.6 (sediment) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants in sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, four for water, three for tissue and two for sediment. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for beneficial uses assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for beneficial uses assessed using sediment sample(s). 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. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for beneficial uses assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for beneficial uses assessed using sediment sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102022	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Endrin aldehyde
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms." 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Pollutant:	Esfenvalerate/Fenvalerate
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of one water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of one water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat."

Pollutant:	Ethion
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial uses assessed. Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the following two beneficial uses assessed:"Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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. Zero of one sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial uses assessed. Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the following two beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The one sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102044	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Fenpropathrin
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of one water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of one water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA 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 two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of the two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	72903	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Heptachlor epoxide
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.5 (for tissue samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, four for water and three for tissue. Water: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). For each beneficial use, the two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). The two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. 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. Water: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). For each beneficial use, the two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). The two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	72921	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

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)(2016)
Revision Status	Revised
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 (for water samples) and 3.5 (for tissue samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 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 water and one for tissue. Water: Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). For each beneficial use assessed, all two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed using tissue sample(s). 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. Water: Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" and "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). For each beneficial use assessed, all two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed using tissue sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed. 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 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.Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Under section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the three beneficial uses assessed. 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the three beneficial uses assessed. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objective for each type of Jasmolin assessed: Jasmolin -1 and Jasmolin -2, for each beneficial assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objective for each type of Jasmolin assessed: Jasmolin -1 and Jasmolin -2, for each beneficial assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." This sample sizes are 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 3.2. 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Pollutant:	Lead
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat," and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat," and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	79278	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Lindane/gamma Hexachlorocyclohexane (gamma-HCH)
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples), 3.5 (for tissue samples), and 3.6 (for sediment samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants in sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, four for water, three for tissue and two for sediment. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using sediment sample(s). 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. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial uses assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using sediment sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102057	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Malathion
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The one sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. 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 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. Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The one sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA 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 two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of the two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under sections 3.1, 3.5 and 3.6 of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment, and pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Thirteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the water quality objective. LOE 46580 was re-assessed using the new objective and was not included in the final use rating. 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. None of one fish tissue samples exceeded the Statewide Sport Fish Water Quality Objective for the protection of the Commercial and Sport Fishing. None of two sediment sample exceeded the sediment quality guideline. None of two water sample exceeded the CTR Criteria. This sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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.

DECISION ID	102059	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Methyl Parathion
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 3.1 and 3.6 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment, and pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero samples exceed the water quality objectives. 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 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. Zero of one water sample(s) exceeded the USEPA Health Advisory. Zero of two sediment sample(s) exceeded the median lethal concentration (LC50). The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Pollutant:	Mirex
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.5 (for tissue samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 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 water and one for tissue. Water: Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). The two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). The one sample was not used in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy. 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. Water: Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). The two samples were not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Tissue: Zero of zero sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). The one sample was not used in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy. The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the three beneficial uses assessed. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat," and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of two water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat," and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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.

DECISION ID	102064	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Nitrogen, Nitrate
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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 two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of the two samples exceed the water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples), 3.5 (for tissue samples), and 3.6 (for sediment samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants in sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, two for water, three for tissue and two for sediment. Water: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using sediment sample(s). 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. Water: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using sediment sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102070	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Parathion
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of zero water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The one sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.Zero of zero water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The one sample collected was not included in the assessment because the laboratory data reporting limit(s) was above the objective and therefore the results could not be quantified with the level of certainty required by the Listing Policy Section 6.1.5.5. Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102073	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Phenanthrene
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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. Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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.

DECISION ID	102079	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Pyrene
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Two lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each of the two beneficial use assessed. Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed. 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 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. Zero of two water sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for each of the two beneficial use assessed. Zero of two sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	79297	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Selenium
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.5 (for tissue samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 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, three for water and one for tissue. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). 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. Water: Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102087	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Temperature, water
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. One line(s) of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Two of the two samples exceed the evaluation guideline for Inland Fishes of California (Moyle 1976) which states that for rainbow trout the optimum range for growth and completion of most life stages is 13-21 degrees C (page 129). 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 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 the two samples exceed the evaluation guideline for Inland Fishes of California (Moyle 1976) which states that for rainbow trout the optimum range for growth and completion of most life stages is 13-21 degrees C (page 129). 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 26 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using 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:	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.

Pollutant:	Total DDT (sum of 4,4'- and 2,4'- isomers of DDT, DDE, and DDD)
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.5 (for tissue samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples) of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants in sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, three for tissue and four for sediment. Tissue: One of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed for tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed for sediment sample(s). 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. Tissue: One of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed for tissue sample(s). Sediment: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed for sediment sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102092	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	Total Dissolved Solids
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 two sample(s) exceed the water quality 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 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 the two sample(s) exceed the water quality objective. 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 26 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA 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 in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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. Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

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 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.6 (for sediment samples), of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line(s) of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment. Pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List. Five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant: Three lines of evidence for water samples and two lines of evidence for sediment samples. Zero of two water samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat," "Cold Freshwater Habitat" and "Municipal & Domestic Supply." Zero of one sediment samples exceed the water quality objective for each beneficial use assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat." 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 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.

DECISION ID	79344	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	alpha-Endosulfan (Endosulfan 1)
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:	This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.1 (for water samples) and 3.5 (for tissue samples) of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant, four for water and three for tissue. Water: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). 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. Water: Zero of two of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using water sample(s). Tissue: Zero of one of the sample(s) exceed the water quality objective for the beneficial use(s) assessed using tissue sample(s). The sample sizes are insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 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:	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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

DECISION ID	102250	Region 7
Cahuilla, Lake

Pollutant:	beta-Endosulfan (Endosulfan 2)
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
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 3.1 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. Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for each of the beneficial uses assessed. 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 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. Zero of two sample(s) exceed the water quality objectives for each of the beneficial uses assessed. The sample sizes are 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. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.
