Regional Board 7 - Colorado River Basin Region

Water Body Name:	Taylor Lake
Water Body ID:	CAL7155000020171213043753
Water Body Type:	Lake & Reservoir


DECISION ID	101861	Region 7
Taylor Lake

Pollutant:	Aldrin
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. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances, in tissue, 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 the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances, in tissue, for each of the two beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" 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	101865	Region 7
Taylor Lake

Pollutant:	Chlordane
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. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the two samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances 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 the two samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" 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.

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 samples exceed the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark an invertebrate (chronic) for each type of Cinerin assessed: Cinerin-1 and Cinerin-2, 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 samples exceed the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark an invertebrate (chronic) for each pollutant: Cinerin-1 and Cinerin-2, for each beneficial use 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.

DECISION ID	101867	Region 7
Taylor 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 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 the one samples exceed the California Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater 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 the one samples exceed the California Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" 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.

Under section 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. Zero of the zero samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed. All 2 sample(s) had to be thrown out due to quantitation issues. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines 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 the zero samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed. All 2 sample(s) had to be thrown out due to quantitation issues. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the two samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" 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.

Zero of two samples exceed the water quality objectives for the beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat" Zero of zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for the beneficial use assessed: "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms." All 2 sample(s) had to be thrown out due to quantitation issues. 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 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. None of the two fish tissue sample exceeded the modified OEHHA fish contaminant goal for the beneficial use. 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 the two fish tissue sample exceeded the modified OEHHA fish contaminant goal for the beneficial use 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.

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 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 the one samples exceed the California Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater 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 the one samples exceed the California Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed. Zero of the one samples exceed the California Toxics Rule criterion continuous concentration to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Cold Freshwater Habitat" 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.

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. Three line 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 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 beneficial uses 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	102263	Region 7
Taylor Lake

Pollutant:	Mirex
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 zero samples exceed the water quality objectives for the beneficial use assessed. All two sample(s) had to be thrown out due to quantitation issues. 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 the beneficial use assessed. All two sample(s) had to be thrown out due to quantitation issues. 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.

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 samples exceed the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark an invertebrate (chronic) for each type of Pyrethrin assessed: Pyrethrin-1 and Pyrethrin -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 USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark an invertebrate (chronic) for each type of Pyrethrin assessed: Pyrethrin-1 and Pyrethrin -2, for each beneficial 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 3.2. 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.

DECISION ID	101875	Region 7
Taylor Lake

Pollutant:	Pyrethroids
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 of the Listing Policy. 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. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the two samples exceed the Toxic Unit Equivalent (Department of Fish and Game Aquatic Life Criteria for Pyrethroid Insecticides, 2000) for each of the 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 the two samples exceed the Toxic Unit Equivalent (Department of Fish and Game Aquatic Life Criteria for Pyrethroid Insecticides, 2000) for each of the beneficial uses assessed: "Warm Freshwater Habitat" and "Cold Freshwater Habitat.". This sample size is insufficient to determine beneficial use support, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

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 3.2 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 California Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level 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. One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Two of the two sample(s) exceed the California Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level 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 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.

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. Seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of two sample(s) exceed the objective for each of the seven 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 objective for each of the seven beneficial uses 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.
