DECISION ID	75877	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Organic Enrichment/Low Dissolved Oxygen
Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (being addressed with USEPA approved TMDL)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not Delist from 303(d) list (being addressed with USEPA approved TMDL)(2016)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	Agriculture \| Drainage/Filling Of Wetlands \| Grazing-Related Sources \| Irrigated Crop Production \| Logging Road Construction/Maintenance \| Road Construction \| Silviculture
TMDL Name:	Klamath River Nutrients, Temperature, DO, and Microcystin.
TMDL Project Code:	97
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA:	12/28/2010
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for removal from the section 303(d) list under sections 2.2 and 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 4.1 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the section 303(d) list (i.e., sufficient justification to not delist). 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) The Klamath River TMDL confirmed the dissolved oxygen impairment in the mainstem Klamath River from the Scott River to the Trinity River and that a nutrient load reduction was necessary to meet water quality standards. (4) The Klamath River TMDL has been approved by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board in March 2010 and approved by USEPA on December 28, 2010. (5) Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are 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 removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

TMDL Project Code:	97
Date TMDL Approved by USEPA:	12/28/2010
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	This pollutant is being considered for removal on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 2.2 and 4.11 of the Listing Policy. Under 4.11 of the Policy, a minimum of one line of evidence is needed to assess listing status. Thirty lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing this water segment-pollutant combination from 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) Portuguese Creek and its Tributaries (LOE 31588), Cedar Creek and its Tributaries (LOE 31584), Twin Valley Creek and its Tributaries (LOE 31590), North Fork Dillon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Vann Creek (LOE 31591), Canyon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to confluence with Seiad Creek (LOE 31583), Elk Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Bear Creek (LOEs 31586, 101039, 101040), Tenmile Creek and its Tributaries (LOE 31589), Clear Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to the confluence with Tenmile Creek (LOE 31585), and Fort Goff Creek and its Tributaries (LOE 31587) meet the criteria for reference water bodies and are not significantly altered by anthropogenic activities and therefore, temperature conditions in these water bodies reflect natural conditions, which indicates attainment of the temperature water quality objective. (3) MWMTs in Thompson Creek (LOE 7464), Grider Creek (LOE 7463), and Clear Creek (LOE 7462) exceed the evaluation guideline. (4) The Klamath River Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) Addressing Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, Nutrients, and Microcystin Impairments in California were approved by USEPA on December 28, 2010. The staff report confirmed temperature impairments in the Klamath River basin. (5) 303(d) listing determinations made prior to 2006 were not held in an assessment database. LOE 3683 is a placeholder for the 303(d) listing data and information for all streams in this water body from a previous assessment cycle that was initially utilized to make this listing determination. (6) This process is scientifically defensible and reproducible. This listing does not apply to the following streams, which lie within the Klamath River HU, Salmon River HA water body : (1) Portuguese Creek and its Tributaries, (2) Cedar Creek and its Tributaries, (3) Twin Valley Creek and its, (4) North Fork Dillon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Vann Creek, (5) Canyon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to confluence with Seiad Creek, (6) Elk Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Bear Creek, (7) Tenmile Creek and its Tributaries, (8) Clear Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to the confluence with Tenmile Creek, (9) Fort Goff Creek and its Tributaries.

Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

More than 15% of the Thompson Creek Watershed is subject to disturbance by human activities. Per the Klamath National Forest (Boland 2001, Attachment F), 75% of the watershed is managed as late successional reserves, which limits management activities to actions that promote old-growth habitat. Less than 1% of the watershed is privately owned. This leaves, at a minimum, 24% to 25% of the watershed subject to disturbance activities.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) - North Coast Region (Region 1)

Evaluation Guideline:

Human disturbance within a watershed can impact water temperature and alter natural conditions. Activities that remove or reduce shade-producing vegetation, or that result in a discharge of sediment to a stream, can increase stream temperatures. Per NOAA Fisheries (1996), the guideline for the properly functioning condition for disturbance history is for the entire watershed to be less than 15% disturbed with no concentration of disturbance in (1) unstable areas, (2) potentially unstable areas, (3) refugia, and/or (4) riparian areas. For areas under the Northwest Forest Plan (which includes the Upper South Fork Salmon River watershed), the guideline for the properly functioning condition for disturbance history is also for there to be at least 15% retention of late succession and old growth forest in the watershed.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The following process is utilized to interpret the narrative temperature objective in the Basin Plan for impairment assessments. Step 1: Determine if temperatures reflect natural conditions. If yes, then the water body is not considered impaired, if no, then go to Step 2. Step 2: Determine if temperatures adversely affect beneficial uses. If yes, then the water body is considered impaired, if no, then go to Step 3. Step 3: Determine if temperatures are increased by 5 degrees F. If yes, then water body is impaired, if no, then water body is not impaired. The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Seiad Valley HSA, Canyon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to confluence with Seiad Creek water body meets the critera for temperature reference water bodies, and thus, temperature conditions in this water body reflect natural conditions.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Water Quality Control Plan, North Coast Region (NCRWQCB 2011): Natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. At no time or place shall the temperature of any COLD water be increased more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit (F) above natural receiving water temperature.

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

EVIDENCE OF NATURAL RECEIVING WATER TEMPERATURE: The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Seiad Valley HSA, Canyon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to confluence with Seiad Creek water body has been identified as a temperature reference water body in the "Klamath National Forest Sediment and Temperature Monitoring Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan" (USFS 2010). Klamath National Forest (KNF) staff followed the State of California's Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program guidance for screening and identifying reference water bodies (Ode 2009). Regional Water Board staff at the North Coast Region reviewed and approved the criteria that were developed by the KNF to identify temperature reference water bodies. Temperature reference water bodies must meet the following criteria: 1) no evidence of human-caused reduction in stream shade is apparent in aerial photos, 2) road density must be less than 0.19 km/km squared (0.30 mi/mi squared) with no significant failures (this road density value also signifies low past timber harvest intensity), 3) less than 10% of the drainage area is grazed and there are no best management practice violations, and 4) mining activities have no significant sediment inputs. Water bodies with natural disturbance were included in the reference pool as a component of the natural variability in conditions. The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Seiad Valley HSA, Canyon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to confluence with Seiad Creek water body meets the critera for temperature reference water bodies, and thus, temperature conditions in this water body reflect natural conditions.

EVIDENCE OF NATURAL RECEIVING WATER TEMPERATURE: The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Happy Camp HSA, Cedar Creek and its Tributaries water body has been identified as a temperature reference water body in the "Klamath National Forest Sediment and Temperature Monitoring Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan" (USFS 2010). Klamath National Forest (KNF) staff followed the State of California's Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program guidance for screening and identifying reference water bodies (Ode 2009). Regional Water Board staff at the North Coast Region reviewed and approved the criteria that were developed by the KNF to identify temperature reference water bodies. Temperature reference water bodies must meet the following criteria: 1) no evidence of human-caused reduction in stream shade is apparent in aerial photos, 2) road density must be less than 0.19 km/km squared (0.30 mi/mi squared) with no significant failures (this road density value also signifies low past timber harvest intensity), 3) less than 10% of the drainage area is grazed and there are no best management practice violations, and 4) mining activities have no significant sediment inputs. Water bodies with natural disturbance were included in the reference pool as a component of the natural variability in conditions. The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Happy Camp HSA, Cedar Creek and its Tributaries water body meets the critera for temperature reference water bodies, and thus, temperature conditions in this water body reflect natural conditions.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

Per the Klamath National Forest (Boland 2001, Attachment F), 16% of the Grider Creek Watershed is a congressionally designated Wilderness Area. An additional 80% of the watershed is managed as late successional reserves, which limits management activities to actions that promote old-growth habitat. Less than 1% of the watershed is privately owned. This leaves, at a minimum, 3% to 4% of the watershed subject to disturbance activities. In order to determine if the 80% of the watershed in the late successional reserve has a concentration of disturbance in unstable areas, refugia, or riparian areas, North Coast Regional Water Board staff analyzed images from Google Earth of the Grider Creek Watershed (NCRWQCB 2008). Staff found that human disturbance has occurred in unstable areas (as evidenced by landslides and debris torrents) and in riparian areas (as evidenced by scoured channels).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The natural receiving water temperature of Clear Creek has been altered by human activities. This is demonstrated by exceedances of the evaluation guidelines in the amount of the watershed subject to human disturbance (see LOE 21160), and the estimated accelerated mass wasting and soil erosion from timber harvest, roads, and wildfire (see LOE 21161). Activities that remove or reduce shade-producing vegetation, or that result in a discharge of sediment to a stream, can increase stream temperatures. In order to determine if water temperatures adversely affect salmonids, the most sensitive beneficial use in Clear Creek, temperature data were analyzed. Of the 12 MWMT values calculated from near-continuous summertime temperature samples collected in Clear Creek, all 12 exceed the evaluation guideline. MWMT values range from 19.8 to 23.2 C. Data are summarized by the Klamath National Forest (KNF 2008).

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Per the Basin Plan (NCRWQCB 2007): The natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. At no time or place shall the temperature of any COLD water be increased by more than 5 F above natural receiving water temperature. At no time or place shall the temperature of WARM intrastate waters be increased more than 5 F above natural receiving water temperature.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) - North Coast Region (Region 1)

Evaluation Guideline:

If the natural receiving water temperature has been altered, or if alternation is unknown, the evaluation guideline to determine adverse affect on the most sensitive beneficial use (in this case, salmonids) is as follows. Per "U.S. EPA Region 10 Guidance for Pacific Northwest State and Tribal Temperature Water Quality Standards" (USEPA 2003), the U.S. EPA recommends a criterion for the protection of moderate to high density summertime salmon and trout juvenile rearing (i.e., core juvenile rearing) of a maximum weekly maximum temperature (MWMT) of 16 degrees C. The MWMT is also known as the maximum 7-day average of daily maximums (7DADM). The 16 degrees C MWMT criterion is recommended to (1) safely protect juvenile salmon and trout from lethal temperatures; (2) provide upper optimal conditions for juvenile growth under limited food during the period of summer maximum temperatures and optimal temperatures for other times of the growth season; (3) avoid temperatures where juvenile salmon and trout are at a competitive disadvantage with other fish; (4) protect against temperature induced elevated disease rates; and (5) provide temperatures that studies show juvenile salmon and trout prefer and are found in high densities.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The natural receiving water temperature of Grider Creek has been altered by human activities. This is demonstrated by exceedances of the amount of the watershed subject to human disturbance (see LOE 21166), and the estimated accelerated mass wasting and soil erosion from timber harvest, roads, and wildfire (see LOE 21167). Activities that remove or reduce shade-producing vegetation, or that result in a discharge of sediment to a stream, can increase stream temperatures. In order to determine if water temperatures adversely affect salmonids, the most sensitive beneficial use in Grider Creek, temperature data were analyzed. Of the 10 MWMT values calculated from near-continuous summertime temperature samples collected in Grider Creek, all 10 exceed the evaluation guideline. MWMT values range from 19.7 to 22.3 C. Data are summarized by the Klamath National Forest (KNF 2008).

DECISION ID	169721	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Aldicarb
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)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	LOE 103994 has been replaced by LOE 348961, LOE 103991 has been replaced by LOE 348935, LOE 103997 has been replaced by LOE 348962, and LOE 103993 has been replaced by LOE 348982 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 103988 and 103990 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	101147	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3 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. None of the samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objectives and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

DECISION ID	157103	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Alkalinity as CaCO3
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)(2018)
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. Twenty-four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. For the dissolved fraction of the COLD beneficial use, 0 of 15 samples exceed the objective; for the total fraction of the COLD beneficial use, 0 of 5 samples exceed the objective; for the none fraction of the COLD beneficial use, 1 of 13 samples exceed the objective; for the none fraction of the WARM beneficial use, 1 of 13 samples exceed the 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. For the dissolved fraction of the COLD beneficial use, 0 of 15 samples exceed the objective; for the total fraction of the COLD beneficial use, 0 of 5 samples exceed the objective; for the none fraction of the COLD beneficial use, 1 of 13 samples exceed the objective; for the none fraction of the WARM beneficial use, 1 of 13 samples exceed the objective, and this does not exceed 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. There are no LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River for the 2026 Integrated Report. The following are the following 2026 LOEs, which will be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. BEANS GULCH ABOVE BARK SHANTY has four 2026 LOEs (322892, 323014, 323082, 323093) BLUFF CREEK ABOVE HWY 96 has two 2026 LOEs (322977, 323005) CLEAR CREEK ABOVE TENMILE CR. has two 2026 LOEs (322917, 322918) COPPER CREEK ABOVE ROUGH CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (322965, 323006) O'NEIL CREEK ~ 2MI ABOVE KLAMATH RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (322902, 322903) SEIAD CREEK ~0.3MI ABOVE PANTHER GULCH has two 2026 LOEs (323123, 323132) WALKER CREEK ~0.8 ABOVE KLAMATH RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (322983, 323102) Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	There are no LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River for the 2026 Integrated Report. The following are the following 2026 LOEs, which will be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. BEANS GULCH ABOVE BARK SHANTY has four 2026 LOEs (322892, 323014, 323082, 323093) BLUFF CREEK ABOVE HWY 96 has two 2026 LOEs (322977, 323005) CLEAR CREEK ABOVE TENMILE CR. has two 2026 LOEs (322917, 322918) COPPER CREEK ABOVE ROUGH CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (322965, 323006) O'NEIL CREEK ~ 2MI ABOVE KLAMATH RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (322902, 322903) SEIAD CREEK ~0.3MI ABOVE PANTHER GULCH has two 2026 LOEs (323123, 323132) WALKER CREEK ~0.8 ABOVE KLAMATH RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (322983, 323102) Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information."

DECISION ID	168839	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Aluminum
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)(2018)
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. Sixteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Two additional LOEs are available (LOEs 47480 and 25360) however these data re-evaluated in LOEs 122921, 122922, and 122928. Two of 51 samples exceed the objective for the protection of MUN. 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 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. Two of 51 samples exceed the objective for the protection of MUN and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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. This listing only applies to the mainstem Klamath River. This listing only applies to the mainstem Klamath River.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	This listing only applies to the mainstem Klamath River.

DECISION ID	103644	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Ametryn
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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

DECISION ID	157104	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Anatoxin-A
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available All 2026 LOEs are from the mainstem Klamath River: KLAMATH RIVER AT ORLEANS (USGS) (RM 59.1; PUBLIC HEALTH) has two LOEs (323592, 323609). KLAMATH RIVER BELOW SEIAD (RM 128.5; PUBLIC HEALTH) has two LOEs (323602, 323611). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (323592, 323609, 323602, 323611) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	All 2026 LOEs are from the mainstem Klamath River: KLAMATH RIVER AT ORLEANS (USGS) (RM 59.1; PUBLIC HEALTH) has two LOEs (323592, 323609). KLAMATH RIVER BELOW SEIAD (RM 128.5; PUBLIC HEALTH) has two LOEs (323602, 323611). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (323592, 323609, 323602, 323611) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information."

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	100716	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Thirty-seven lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of 21 samples exceed the objective for protection of the WARM and COLD beneficial uses. Zero of 50 samples from the mainstem Klamath River exceed the objective for protection of the MUN beneficial use. Per the Listing Policy, samples must be temporally independent and states as follows: "If the majority of samples were collected on a single day or during a single short-term natural event (e.g., a storm, flood, or wildfire), the data shall not be used as the primary data set supporting the listing decision." Additionally, the Listing Policy states: "In general, samples should be available from two or more seasons or from two or more events when effects or water quality objective exceedances would be expected to be clearly manifested." Therefore, although 2 of 3 samples from Indian Creek exceed the objective for the protection of MUN, the samples were all collected on a single day and therefore cannot be utilized as the primary data for a listing determination. Further data collection is necessary to determine if listing is warranted. 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 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 21 samples exceed the objective for protection of the WARM and COLD beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. 4. Zero of 50 samples from the mainstem Klamath River exceed the objective for protection of the MUN beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	169716	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Atrazine
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)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	LOE 41491 has been replaced by LOE 349018 and LOE 41429 has been replaced by LOE 349025 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Azinphos-methyl (Guthion)
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	101282	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Cadmium
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. Thirty lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of 50 samples from the mainstem Klamath River exceed the objective for protection of the MUN 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 CWA 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 50 samples from the mainstem Klamath River exceed the objective for protection of the MUN beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Water Quality Control Plan, North Coast Region (NCRWQCB 2011): All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are toxic to, or that produce detrimental physiological responses in human, plant, animal, or aquatic life. California Toxics Rule (CTR) lists criterion continuous concentrations (4-day average) to protect aquatic life in freshwater. The criterion in freshwater is hardness dependent for each sample and varies based on the ambient hardness during sampling. Section (b)(1) in CTR contains the hardness dependent formula for the metals criterion.

DECISION ID	103012	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Carbaryl
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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

DECISION ID	103024	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Carbophenothion
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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

The modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for total chlordane in fish tissue is 3.9 ppb. This screening level assumes an average body weight of 70 kg and a consumption rate of 32 g/day for a 30 year exposure over a 70-year lifetime. This constituent is a carcinogen therefore the risk level is set to one in a million. A cooking reduction factor of 1 is applied for skin-off fillets. (Klasing, S., and R. Brodberg, 2008)

DECISION ID	157099	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Chloride
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)(2018)
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. Zero samples exceeded the objectives, guidelines, or criteria for beneficial uses applicable to this water segment-pollutant combination, which is less than the minimum number of exceedances needed to place the water segment on the section CWA section 303(d) List for toxicants (Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy). The data used satisfies the data quality requirements (section 6.1.4) and data quantity requirements (section 6.1.5) of the Listing Policy. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. 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. The following are the waterbodies associated with the 2026 LOEs. BEANS GULCH has four 2026 LOEs (323994, 324030, 324051, 324054) BLUFF CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (323971, 324100) COPPER CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (324070, 324086) ***KLAMATH RIVER has fourteen 2026 LOEs (328102, 328110, 328111, 328116, 328130, 328140, 328153, 328157, 328165, 328166, 328169, 328179, 328185, 328198) O'NEIL CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (324039, 324042) SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (323982, 324021) WALKER CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (324066, 324105) The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (328102, 328110, 328111, 328116, 328130, 328140, 328153, 328157, 328165, 328166, 328169, 328179, 328185, 328198) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	The following are the waterbodies associated with the 2026 LOEs. BEANS GULCH has four 2026 LOEs (323994, 324030, 324051, 324054) BLUFF CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (323971, 324100) COPPER CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (324070, 324086) ***KLAMATH RIVER has fourteen 2026 LOEs (328102, 328110, 328111, 328116, 328130, 328140, 328153, 328157, 328165, 328166, 328169, 328179, 328185, 328198) O'NEIL CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (324039, 324042) SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (323982, 324021) WALKER CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (324066, 324105) The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (328102, 328110, 328111, 328116, 328130, 328140, 328153, 328157, 328165, 328166, 328169, 328179, 328185, 328198) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report.

DECISION ID	158405	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Chlorophyll-a
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available All samples for the 2026 Integrated Report are reported in all 2026 Lines of Evidence. The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (328206, 328209, 328214, 328215, 328218, 328219, 328220, 328233) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports. KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-10782) has two LOEs (328220, 328215). KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-10802) has two LOEs (328214, 328218). KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-10932) has two LOEs (325233, 328219). KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-11364) has two LOEs (328206, 328209).

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	All samples for the 2026 Integrated Report are reported in all 2026 Lines of Evidence. The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (328206, 328209, 328214, 328215, 328218, 328219, 328220, 328233) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report.

Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports. KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-10782) has two LOEs (328220, 328215). KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-10802) has two LOEs (328214, 328218). KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-10932) has two LOEs (325233, 328219). KLAMATH RIVER (station code NARS_WQX-NRS_CA-11364) has two LOEs (328206, 328209).

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166229	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Chlorpyrifos
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	100766	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Fourteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the 56 samples from the mainstem Klamath River exceed the objective for MUN. 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 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 56 samples from the mainstem Klamath River exceed the objective for MUN and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	166231	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Cinerin
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:	LOE 107724 has been replaced by LOE 349141, LOE 107726 has been replaced by LOE 349108, LOE 107727 has been replaced by LOE 349112, and LOE 107725 has been replaced by LOE 349117 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 107722 and 107723 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	100729	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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. Thirty seven (37) lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the 62 samples exceed the 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 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 62 samples exceeded the objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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.

DECISION ID	166232	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Coumaphos
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166234	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Cyfluthrin
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:	LOE 118256 has been replaced by LOE 349196 due to a reassessment of data using chronic criterion threshold. LOE 118257 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166239	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	DDE (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene)
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166237	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Dacthal
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:	LOE 41271 has been replaced by LOE 349318 and LOE 41223 has been replaced by LOE 349331 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166241	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Deltamethrin
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:	LOEs 105880 & 107777 have been replaced by LOE 349390 and LOE 115935 has been replaced by LOE 349370 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 114046, 107776, 118040 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	103554	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Demeton
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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

DECISION ID	103747	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Dieldrin
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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Sixteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

The modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for dieldrin in fish tissue is 0.32 ppb. This screening level assumes an average body weight of 70 kg and a consumption rate of 32 g/day for a 30 year exposure over a 70-year lifetime. This constituent is a carcinogen therefore the risk level is set to one in a million. A cooking reduction factor of 1 is applied for skin-off fillets. (Klasing, S., and R. Brodberg, 2008)

DECISION ID	169720	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Dimethoate
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)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	LOE 41726 has been replaced by LOE 349458 and LOE 41788 has been replaced by LOE 349446 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Pollutant:	Disulfoton
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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	166245	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Diuron
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:	LOE 111297 has been replaced by LOE 349479, LOE 107804 has been replaced by LOE 349501, LOE 111299 has been replaced by LOE 349487, and LOE 111296 has been replaced by LOE 349490 due to a reassessment of data using the UC Davis Aquatic Life Criterion threshold. LOEs 107801 and 107803 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166248	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Endosulfan sulfate
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166249	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Endrin
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166251	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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:	LOE 111352 has been replaced by LOE 349610 and LOE 111353 has been replaced by LOE 349596 due to a reassessment of data using the chronic criterion threshold. LOEs 111350 and 111351 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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	103364	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Fenthion
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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None samples exceed the 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. None of the samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

Pollutant:	Glyphosate
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:	LOE 41853 has been replaced by LOE 349801 and LOE 41891 has been replaced by LOE 349802 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	155227	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Hardness as CaCO3
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available. The 2026 LOEs do not contain data collected from the mainstem Klamath River, so that all of the 2026 LOEs will be assessed in the 2026 Integrated Report. BEANS GULCH has one line of evidence (LOE 317854) and 0 of 4 samples exceed the MUN beneficial use objective, which is insufficient data to apply Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. BLUFF CREEK has one line of evidence (LOE 317925) and 0 of 1 sample exceeds the MUN beneficial use objective, which is insufficient data to apply Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. COPPER CREEK has one line of evidence (LOE 317963) and 1 of 1 sample exceeds the MUN beneficial use objective, which is insufficient data to apply Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. SEIAD CREEK has one line of evidence (LOE 318578) and 1 of 1 sample exceeds the MUN beneficial use objective, which is insufficient data to apply Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. WALKER CREEK has one line of evidence (LOE 318697) and 2 of 2 samples exceed the MUN beneficial use objective, which is insufficient data to apply Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	The 2026 LOEs do not contain data collected from the mainstem Klamath River, so that all of the 2026 LOEs will be assessed in the 2026 Integrated Report.

DECISION ID	166258	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Heptachlor epoxide
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

The modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for heptachlor epoxide in fish tissue is 0.93 ppb. This screening level assumes an average body weight of 70 kg and a consumption rate of 32 g/day for a 30 year exposure over a 70-year lifetime. This constituent is a carcinogen therefore the risk level is set to one in a million. A cooking reduction factor of 1 is applied for skin-off fillets. (Klasing, S., and R.

DECISION ID	166259	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Hexachlorobenzene/ HCB
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	166262	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Jasmolin
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:	LOE 111425 has been replaced by LOE 349863, LOE 111423 has been replaced by LOE 349892, LOE 111426 has been replaced by LOE 349853, and LOE 111424 has been replaced by LOE 349858 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 111421 and 111422 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	103592	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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. Thirty four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of 56 samples exceed the objective for the MUN beneficial use in the mainstem Klamath River. Data from Indian creek evaluating the COLD (LOEs 111432, 111430, and 111434) and WARM (LOEs 111435, 111431, and 111433) beneficial uses reflect two out of three samples exceed the objective, however all the exceedances occurred on the same day. Per section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy, samples must be temporally independent and if the majority of samples were collected on a single day, they shall not be used as the primary data set to support a listing. Therefore, more data is required to determine if the COLD and WARM uses are being supported. 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 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 56 samples exceed the objective for the MUN beneficial use in the mainstem Klamath River and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	166263	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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:	New Decision
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	103755	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Manganese
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. Twelve lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. One of the 25 samples exceed the MUN objective total manganese in water. 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 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. One of 25 samples exceeded the MUN objective for total manganese in water and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	100718	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Mercury
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 3.5 of the Listing Policy. Under sections 3.1 and 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status. Thirty-five lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of 56 samples exceed the objective for MUN and zero of 19 samples exceed the objective for COMM and COLD in the mainstem Klamath River. 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 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 56 samples exceed the objective for MUN and zero of 19 samples exceed the objective for COMM and COLD in the mainstem Klamath River. These sample sizes do not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	169719	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Methidathion
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)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	LOE 42743 has been replaced by LOE 350022 and LOE 42789 has been replaced by LOE 350005 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision:	Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	LOE 105372 has been replaced by LOE 350057, LOE 105369 has been replaced by LOE 350084, LOE 105371 has been replaced by LOE 350063, and LOE 105374 has been replaced by LOE 350039 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 105365 and 105368 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	LOE 42572 has been replaced by LOE 350122 and LOE 42594 has been replaced by LOE 350111 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	101096	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Nickel
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. Forty-six lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the 137 samples exceed the 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 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 25 samples exceed the objective for the COLD, zero of 21 samples exceed the objective for the WARM, zero of 27 samples exceed the objective for the COMM, zero of 64 samples exceed the objective for the MUN beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	157100	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Nitrate/Nitrite (Nitrite + Nitrate as N)
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available No 2026 LOEs contain data collected from the mainstem Klamath River, so all 2026 LOEs will be assessed in the 2026 Integrated Report. BEANS GULCH has four LOEs (325772, 325796, 325815, 325837). BLUFF CREEK has one LOE (325833). COPPER CREEK has one LOE (325835). O'NEIL CREEK has one LOE (325769). SEIAD CREEK has one LOE (325791). WALKER CREEK has one LOE (325786). Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	No 2026 LOEs contain data collected from the mainstem Klamath River, so all 2026 LOEs will be assessed in the 2026 Integrated Report. BEANS GULCH has four LOEs (325772, 325796, 325815, 325837). BLUFF CREEK has one LOE (325833). COPPER CREEK has one LOE (325835). O'NEIL CREEK has one LOE (325769). SEIAD CREEK has one LOE (325791). WALKER CREEK has one LOE (325786). Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information."

Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	161368	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available. All 2026 LOEs are for data collected from mainstem Klamath River sampling stations. The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (328699, 328700, 328701, 328735) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	All 2026 LOEs are for data collected from mainstem Klamath River sampling stations. The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (328699, 328700, 328701, 328735) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report.

DECISION ID	155224	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Oxygen, Dissolved
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 was renamed from Organic Enrichment/Low Dissolved Oxygen to Oxygen, Dissolved. 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. Fourteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Three of 91 samples exceed the guideline. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the 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. Three of 91 samples exceeded the guideline and this does not exceed 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. This listing only applies to the mainstem Klamath River. For the 2026 Lines of Evidence: BEANS GULCH has one 2026 LOE (317855). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317926). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317964). KLAMATH RIVER has seven 2026 LOEs (318184, 318206, 318214, 318698, 318853 ,318870 ,318934). SALMON CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (318541, 318983). SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (318579, 318992). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (318184, 318206, 318214, 318698, 318853 ,318870 ,318934) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports. This listing only applies to the mainstem Klamath River.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	For the 2026 Lines of Evidence: BEANS GULCH has one 2026 LOE (317855). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317926).

DECISION ID	72341	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	PCBs (Polychlorinated biphenyls)
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 CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Eight lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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. None of the six samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

DECISION ID	166280	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Propazine
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:	LOE 42979 has been replaced by LOE 350709 and LOE 43342 has been replaced by LOE 350701 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Pollutant:	Pyrethrin
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:	LOE 112243 has been replaced by LOE 350798, LOE 112241 has been replaced by LOE 350755, LOE 112242 has been replaced by LOE 350734, and LOE 112244 has been replaced by LOE 350795 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 112239 and 102917 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	103837	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Selenium
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. Forty one lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Two out of twenty five samples exceed the objective for the MUN beneficial use and one out of fifty six samples exceed the objective for the COLD 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 CWA 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. Two out of twenty five samples exceed the objective for the MUN beneficial use and one out of fifty six samples exceed the objective for the COLD beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	100753	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Silver
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 hundred and four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. One of the twenty one water samples for dissolved silver exceed the objective for WARM and for COLD. 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 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. One of the twenty one water samples for dissolved silver exceed the objective for WARM and for COLD and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	166283	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Simazine
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:	LOE 113593 has been replaced by LOE 351037, LOE 43462 has been replaced by LOE 350993, LOE 113597 has been replaced by LOE 351083, LOE 43400 has been replaced by LOE 351075, LOE 113599 has been replaced by LOE 350997, and LOE 113595 has been replaced by LOE 350991 due to a reassessment of data using the USEPA Aquatic Life Benchmark threshold. LOEs 113590 and 113592 for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed. Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

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)(2018)

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available All lines of evidence for the 2026 Integrated Report are for data collected from the mainstem Klamath River. The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (329024, 329027, 329030, 329043, 329049, 329057, 329070, 329080, 329086, 329090 ,329098 ,329106, 329116 ,329122) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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	163025	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Specific Conductivity
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)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available BEANS GULCH has one 2026 LOE (317857). BLUFF CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (317928, 318724). CLEAR LAKE has one 2026 LOE (317949). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317966). ELK CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318848). KLAMATH RIVER has five 2026 LOEs (318186, 318208, 318216, 318872, 319017). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318375). SALMON RIVER has one 2026 LOE (318543). SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (318581, 318994). THOMPSON CREEK has one 2026 LOE (319015). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318700). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (318186, 318208, 318216, 318872, 319017) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	BEANS GULCH has one 2026 LOE (317857). BLUFF CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (317928, 318724). CLEAR LAKE has one 2026 LOE (317949).

The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (318186, 318208, 318216, 318872, 319017) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report.

The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	157101	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Sulfates
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)(2018)
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. Zero samples exceeded the objectives, guidelines, or criteria for beneficial uses applicable to this water segment-pollutant combination, which is less than the minimum number of exceedances needed to place the water segment on the section CWA section 303(d) List for toxicants (Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy). The data used satisfies the data quality requirements (section 6.1.4) and data quantity requirements (section 6.1.5) of the Listing Policy. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. 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. BEANS GULCH has two 2026 LOEs (326829, 326870). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326901). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326837). KLAMATH RIVER has seven 2026 LOEs (329178, 329179, 329190, 329193, 329195, 329215, 329219). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326867). SEIAD CREEK has one 2026 LOEs (326797). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326865). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (329178, 329179, 329190, 329193, 329195, 329215, 329219) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	BEANS GULCH has two 2026 LOEs (326829, 326870). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326901). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326837). KLAMATH RIVER has seven 2026 LOEs (329178, 329179, 329190, 329193, 329195, 329215, 329219). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326867). SEIAD CREEK has one 2026 LOEs (326797). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (326865). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (329178, 329179, 329190, 329193, 329195, 329215, 329219) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report.

DECISION ID	166284	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Terbufos
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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	71177	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Total Dissolved Solids
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 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 are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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. None of the fifteen samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 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.

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.

DECISION ID	157102	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Turbidity
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. Twenty-one lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Six of the 24 samples exceed the objective; however, no single creek has five or more exceedances of the 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. Six of the 24 samples exceed the objective; however, no single creek has five or more exceedances of the objective and this does not exceed 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. BEANS GULCH has two 2026 LOEs (327275, 327283). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327307). CLEAR CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327257). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327291). KLAMATH RIVER has ten 2026 LOEs (327210, 327228, 327277, 329348, 329360, 329362, 329363, 329379, 329381, 329390, 329400). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327324). SALMON RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (327303, 329389). SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (327207, 329348). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327285). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (327210, 327228, 327277, 329348, 329360, 329362, 329363, 329379, 329381, 329390, 329400) will not be assessed during the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

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:	BEANS GULCH has two 2026 LOEs (327275, 327283). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327307). CLEAR CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327257). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327291). KLAMATH RIVER has ten 2026 LOEs (327210, 327228, 327277, 329348, 329360, 329362, 329363, 329379, 329381, 329390, 329400). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327324). SALMON RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (327303, 329389). SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (327207, 329348). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (327285). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (327210, 327228, 327277, 329348, 329360, 329362, 329363, 329379, 329381, 329390, 329400) will not be assessed during the 2026 Integrated Report.

DECISION ID	100695	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Zinc
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. 34 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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 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 21 samples for zinc dissolved in water exceeded the objective for the protection of the COLD beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Zero of 21 samples for zinc dissolved in water exceeded the objective for the protection of the WARM beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Zero of 62 samples for total zinc in water exceeded the objective for the protection of the MUN beneficial use and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

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

DECISION ID	104067	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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:	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(s) of evidence are necessary to assess listing status. Thirteen line(s) of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the 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. None samples exceeded the objective and this sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. 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.

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.

DECISION ID	166226	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

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:	Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available

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.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:

State Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, SWRCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because it cannot be determined if applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

DECISION ID	155225	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	pH
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)(2018)
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. Seventeen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Twelve of 146 samples exceed the 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. Twelve of 146 samples exceed the Objective and this does not exceed 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. For the 2026 LOEs: BEANS GULCH has one 2026 LOE (317856). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317927). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317965). KLAMATH RIVER has six 2026 LOEs (318185, 318207, 318215, 318854, 318871 ,318935). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318374). SALMON RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (318542, 318984). SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (318580, 318993). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318699). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (318185, 318207, 318215, 318854, 318871 ,318935) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

Regional Board Decision Recommendation:	After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:	For the 2026 LOEs: BEANS GULCH has one 2026 LOE (317856). BLUFF CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317927). COPPER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (317965). KLAMATH RIVER has six 2026 LOEs (318185, 318207, 318215, 318854, 318871 ,318935). O'NEIL CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318374). SALMON RIVER has two 2026 LOEs (318542, 318984). SEIAD CREEK has two 2026 LOEs (318580, 318993). WALKER CREEK has one 2026 LOE (318699). The 2026 LOEs for the mainstem Klamath River (318185, 318207, 318215, 318854, 318871 ,318935) will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Section 6.1.1 of the Listing Policy states that "Regional Water Boards shall review all readily available data and information." The data solicitation period for the 2026 Integrated Report closed on October 21, 2022. The JC Boyle dam (in Oregon), Iron Gate dam, Copco 1 dam, and Copco dam were removed from the Klamath River in 2024. Section 6.1.5.3 of the Listing Policy states that "If the implementation of a management practice(s) has resulted in a change in the water body segment, only recently collected data [since the implementation of the management measure(s)] should be considered." Because dam removal has significantly changed the Klamath River hydrology, data for Iron Gate reservoir, Copco 1 reservoir, Copco 2 reservoir, and the mainstem Klamath River will not be assessed for the 2026 Integrated Report. Data collected and submitted after the drawn-downs and dam removals will be assessed in future Integrated Reports.

DECISION ID	169293	Region 1
Klamath River HU, Middle HA and Lower HA, Scott River to Trinity River

Pollutant:	Benthic Community Effects
Final Listing Decision:	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)(2018)
Revision Status	Revised
Sources:	A Source Unknown
TMDL Priority:	Low
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:	Pollutant

Regional Board Conclusion:	Benthic Community Effects are being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 3.9 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.9, additional lines of evidence (LOEs) associating the Benthic Community Effects decision with a water or sediment concentration of pollutants other than benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment or habitat assessment LOEs are necessary to place a water body on the 303(d) List for Benthic Community Effects. Thirteen line(s) of evidence evaluating benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment data is/are available in the administrative record to assess this indicator. Six of 30 benthic-macroinvertebrate samples exceed the California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) impairment threshold. Additionally, there are associated pollutant impairments on the waterbody (including but not necessarily limited to Microcystins, Sediment, Temperature, and Nutrients). Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for placing Benthic Community Effects in this waterbody segment 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. 6 of 30 benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment samples had CSCI scores below 0.79. Therefore, this water body is exceeding the water quality threshold for the protection of the WARM and/or COLD beneficial use. 4. Pursuant to section 3.9 of the Listing Policy, the water segment has associated pollutant(s) samples that exceed water quality objectives. 5. 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 the available data and information, SWRCB 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.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The following process is utilized to interpret the narrative temperature objective in the Basin Plan for impairment assessments. Step 1: Determine if temperatures reflect natural conditions. If yes, then the water body is not considered impaired, if no, then go to Step 2. Step 2: Determine if temperatures adversely affect beneficial uses. If yes, then the water body is considered impaired, if no, then go to Step 3. Step 3: Determine if temperatures are increased by 5 degrees F. If yes, then water body is impaired, if no, then water body is not impaired. The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Happy Camp HSA, Cedar Creek and its Tributaries water body meets the critera for temperature reference water bodies, and thus, temperature conditions in this water body reflect natural conditions.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are toxic to, or that produce detrimental physiological responses in human, plant, animal, or aquatic life. Compliance with this objective will be determined by use of indicator organisms, analyses of species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, bioassays of appropriate duration, or other appropriate methods as specified by the Regional Water Board (NCRWQCB 2018).

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

The California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) is a biological scoring tool that helps aquatic resource managers translate complex data about benthic macroinvertebrates found living in a stream into an overall measure of stream health. The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rhen, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition. Sites with scores below 0.79 are considered to have exceeded the water quality objective for the aquatic life beneficial use.)

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Water Quality Control Plan, North Coast Region (NCRWQCB 2011): The suspended sediment load and suspended sediment discharge rate of surface waters shall not be altered in such a manner as to cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses; waters shall not contain substances in concentrations that result in deposition of material that causes nuisance or adversely affects beneficial uses; and waters shall not contain suspended material in concentrations that cause nusance or adversely affect beneficial uses.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

Evidence of anthropogenic alterations to sediment conditions was assessed to determine compliance with the sediment water quality objectives. Sediment reference water bodies must meet the following criteria: 1) road density must be less than 0.19 km/km squared (0.30 mi/mi squared) with no significant failures (this road density value also signifies low past timber harvest intensity), 2) less than 10% of the drainage area is grazed and there are no Best Management Practices violations, and 3) mining activities have no significant sediment inputs. Water bodies with natural disturbance were included in the reference pool as a component of the natural variability in conditions.

Sediment conditions in the Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Ukonom HSA, Elk Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Bear Creek water body meet these criteria, reflect natural conditions, and are not significantly altered by anthropogenic activities as documented in the "Klamath National Forest Sediment and Temperature Monitoring Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan" (USFS 2010). Klamath National Forest (KNF) staff followed the State of California's Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program guidance for screening and identifying reference water bodies (Ode 2009). Regional Water Board staff at the North Coast Region reviewed and approved the criteria that were developed by the KNF to identify sediment reference water bodies.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

Evidence of anthropogenic alterations to sediment conditions was assessed to determine compliance with the sediment water quality objectives. Sediment reference water bodies must meet the following criteria: 1) road density must be less than 0.19 km/km squared (0.30 mi/mi squared) with no significant failures (this road density value also signifies low past timber harvest intensity), 2) less than 10% of the drainage area is grazed and there are no Best Management Practices violations, and 3) mining activities have no significant sediment inputs. Water bodies with natural disturbance were included in the reference pool as a component of the natural variability in conditions.

Sediment conditions in the Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Ukonom HSA, North Fork Dillon Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Vann Creek water body meet these criteria, reflect natural conditions, and are not significantly altered by anthropogenic activities as documented in the "Klamath National Forest Sediment and Temperature Monitoring Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan" (USFS 2010). Klamath National Forest (KNF) staff followed the State of California's Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program guidance for screening and identifying reference water bodies (Ode 2009). Regional Water Board staff at the North Coast Region reviewed and approved the criteria that were developed by the KNF to identify sediment reference water bodies.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:

The following process is utilized to interpret the narrative temperature objective in the Basin Plan for impairment assessments. Step 1: Determine if temperatures reflect natural conditions. If yes, then the water body is not considered impaired, if no, then go to Step 2. Step 2: Determine if temperatures adversely affect beneficial uses. If yes, then the water body is considered impaired, if no, then go to Step 3. Step 3: Determine if temperatures are increased by 5 degrees F. If yes, then water body is impaired, if no, then water body is not impaired. The Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Ukonom HSA, Elk Creek and its Tributaries from the headwaters to Bear Creek water body meets the critera for temperature reference water bodies, and thus, temperature conditions in this water body reflect natural conditions.

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

Evidence of anthropogenic alterations to sediment conditions was assessed to determine compliance with the sediment water quality objectives. Sediment reference water bodies must meet the following criteria: 1) road density must be less than 0.19 km/km squared (0.30 mi/mi squared) with no significant failures (this road density value also signifies low past timber harvest intensity), 2) less than 10% of the drainage area is grazed and there are no Best Management Practices violations, and 3) mining activities have no significant sediment inputs. Water bodies with natural disturbance were included in the reference pool as a component of the natural variability in conditions.

Sediment conditions in the Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Happy Camp HSA, Twin Valley Creek and its Tributaries water body meet these criteria, reflect natural conditions, and are not significantly altered by anthropogenic activities as documented in the "Klamath National Forest Sediment and Temperature Monitoring Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan" (USFS 2010). Klamath National Forest (KNF) staff followed the State of California's Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program guidance for screening and identifying reference water bodies (Ode 2009). Regional Water Board staff at the North Coast Region reviewed and approved the criteria that were developed by the KNF to identify sediment reference water bodies.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) for the North Coast Region

Evaluation Guideline:

Evidence of anthropogenic alterations to sediment conditions was assessed to determine compliance with the sediment water quality objectives. Sediment reference water bodies must meet the following criteria: 1) road density must be less than 0.19 km/km squared (0.30 mi/mi squared) with no significant failures (this road density value also signifies low past timber harvest intensity), 2) less than 10% of the drainage area is grazed and there are no Best Management Practices violations, and 3) mining activities have no significant sediment inputs. Water bodies with natural disturbance were included in the reference pool as a component of the natural variability in conditions.

Sediment conditions in the Klamath River HU, Middle Klamath River HA, Happy Camp HSA, Cedar Creek and its Tributaries water body meet these criteria, reflect natural conditions, and are not significantly altered by anthropogenic activities as documented in the "Klamath National Forest Sediment and Temperature Monitoring Plan and Quality Assurance Project Plan" (USFS 2010). Klamath National Forest (KNF) staff followed the State of California's Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program guidance for screening and identifying reference water bodies (Ode 2009). Regional Water Board staff at the North Coast Region reviewed and approved the criteria that were developed by the KNF to identify sediment reference water bodies.

Water Quality Objective/Criterion:

Objective/Criterion Reference:

Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) - North Coast Region (Region 1)

Evaluation Guideline:

The density of roads within a watershed can impact water temperature and alter natural conditions. Near-stream roads that run parallel to a waterbody do not allow for vegetation to grow and produce shade. Roads are also a major source of erosion and sedimentation on most managed forest lands. Excess sediment in the stream channel can result in higher water temperatures as pools fill in with sediment and channels widen in response to the increased load. Per NOAA Fisheries (1996), the guideline for the properly functioning condition for road density and location is less than 2 miles of road per square mile of watershed with no valley bottom roads.

Guideline Reference:

Spatial Representation:

Road density information were assessed for the entire Thomspon Creek Watershed.

Temporal Representation:

The road density data from the Klamath National Forest is current as of 2000.

Environmental Conditions:

There are no known environmental conditions (e.g., seasonality, land use practices, fire events, storms, etc.) that are related to the temperature data.

QAPP Information:

Road density data from the Klamath National Forest were developed as part of the Equivalent Roaded Area (ERA) model conducted by staff of the Klamath National Forest in accordance with the procedures described by Elder and Reichert (2004).
