DECISION ID	145398	Region 9
Pacific Ocean Shoreline, San Clemente HA, at South Poche Beach at Capistrano Shores

Pollutant:	Indicator Bacteria
Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (being addressed by USEPA approved TMDL)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2020)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	A Source Unknown
TMDL Name:	Bacteria Impaired Waters I (creeks and beach shorelines)
TMDL Project Code:	169
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA:	06/22/2011
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 3.3 of the Listing Policy. Under this section 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 for REC-1. Three of 79 samples exceed the GM threshold for Enterococci. Zero of 23 samples exceed the GM threshold for Fecal Coliform. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant for SHELL. Seven of 108 (median) samples and 21 of 108 (10%) samples exceed the SHELL threshold for Total Coliform. 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 for impairment of REC-1. However, there is sufficient justification for placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List for impairment of SHELL. There is sufficient justification to place it in the Being Addressed portion of the CWA 303(d) List because a TMDL has been completed and approved by RWQCB and USEPA and is expected to result in attainment of the standard. 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. Three of 79 samples exceeded the Enterococci water quality threshold and zero of 23 samples exceeded the Fecal Coliform water quality threshold for the protection of REC-1, and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. However, 21 of 108 samples exceeded the SHELL 10% threshold for Total Coliform, and this does exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. The TMDL was approved by USEPA on 6/22/2011. 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. While there is justification for placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List for impairment of SHELL, the San Diego Water Board considers this waterbody-pollutant combination lowest priority for TMDL development as the water quality objective for SHELL has been determined by the State Water Board to require updating. On December 3, 2019, the State Water Board adopted the 2019 Triennial Review of the Ocean Plan and identified as a high priority a project to consider amending the Ocean Plan to review and revise the existing shellfish harvesting total coliform objective. The State Water Board recognized that the current total coliform water quality objective may be unattainable, as exceedances of the standard were found to be common in reference-quality areas. Following the update of the water quality objective, this waterbody will be reassessed and reprioritized for TMDL development, if needed. The Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters (“Ocean Plan”) contains two bacteria water quality objectives applicable to the REC-1 beneficial use: a fecal coliform water quality objective and an enterococci water quality objective. This waterbody is being considered for placement on or removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.3 or 4.3 of the Listing Policy, as applicable, using the fecal coliform and enterococci objectives. In accordance with section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy, data should be representative of the critical timing that the pollutant is expected to impact the waterbody. Indicator bacteria (total coliform, fecal coliform, E. coli, enterococci) populations may fluctuate substantially on a daily, seasonal, or yearly basis. Lacking constant inputs, they do not persist in the environment for a long period and effects are of relatively short duration. As a result, the historic levels of indicator bacteria in the waterbody may be a poor indicator of current risks to human health, particularly when more recent data are available to sufficiently assess the water quality standard. Additionally, water quality conditions in waterbodies may change as a result of management actions that have been implemented to address bacteria. Unrepresentative data may result in incorrectly placing or not placing a water body segment on the list, which could result in the unnecessary expenditure of public resources or missing a human health problem. Historic lines of evidence for data collected prior to 2010 were evaluated pursuant to these considerations and were not used to assess water quality standards attainment because they do not meet the temporal representation requirements of section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy. For enterococci data, Listing Policy sections 3.3 and 4.3 instructs to use the binomial distribution table in sections 3.2 and 4.2, as applicable. To use the binomial table that uses a four percent exceedance frequency, the data must be collected from coastal beaches from April 1 through October 31 only.

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:	The Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Waters (“Ocean Plan”) contains two bacteria water quality objectives applicable to the REC-1 beneficial use: a fecal coliform water quality objective and an enterococci water quality objective. This waterbody is being considered for placement on or removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.3 or 4.3 of the Listing Policy, as applicable, using the fecal coliform and enterococci objectives. In accordance with section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy, data should be representative of the critical timing that the pollutant is expected to impact the waterbody. Indicator bacteria (total coliform, fecal coliform, E. coli, enterococci) populations may fluctuate substantially on a daily, seasonal, or yearly basis. Lacking constant inputs, they do not persist in the environment for a long period and effects are of relatively short duration. As a result, the historic levels of indicator bacteria in the waterbody may be a poor indicator of current risks to human health, particularly when more recent data are available to sufficiently assess the water quality standard. Additionally, water quality conditions in waterbodies may change as a result of management actions that have been implemented to address bacteria. Unrepresentative data may result in incorrectly placing or not placing a water body segment on the list, which could result in the unnecessary expenditure of public resources or missing a human health problem. Historic lines of evidence for data collected prior to 2010 were evaluated pursuant to these considerations and were not used to assess water quality standards attainment because they do not meet the temporal representation requirements of section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy. For enterococci data, Listing Policy sections 3.3 and 4.3 instructs to use the binomial distribution table in sections 3.2 and 4.2, as applicable. To use the binomial table that uses a four percent exceedance frequency, the data must be collected from coastal beaches from April 1 through October 31 only.

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.

Environmental Conditions:

Comparisons were made for all data and data associated with storm events. A storm event was defined as 0.2 inches of rainfall within a 72 hour period.

Analyzing only storm water bacteria data is important because the majority of beach monitoring data covers the months of April through October. The data may not capture the full impacts of seasonal storm events and high bacteria levels due to storm water runoff because much of the wet season for Southern California occurs in November through March.
