Jensen Slu |

| Pollutant: | Indicator Bacteria |
| Final Listing Decision: | List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list) |
| Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision: | New Decision |
| Revision Status | Revised |
| Sources: | A Source Unknown |
| Expected TMDL Completion Date: | 2031 |
| 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.
Four lines of evidence, two which evaluate E. coli data for the REC-1 beneficial use and two which evaluate fecal coliform data for the MUN beneficial use, are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. 0 of 4 E. coli geometric mean samples and 0 of 7 E. coli Statistical Threshold Value (STV) samples exceed the objectives for the REC-1 beneficial use; 7 of 13 fecal coliform log-mean samples and 2 of 4 fecal coliform STV samples exceed the water quality objectives for the MUN beneficial use. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for 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 does not satisfy the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. 7 of 13 fecal coliform log-mean samples exceeded the objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to SECTION 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. |
| Regional Board Decision Recommendation: | After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem. |
| State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation: | |
| State Board Decision Recommendation: | After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board. |
