Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.11 and 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

The COMM beneficial use has not been designated to this waterbody. However, data were collected in this waterbody by the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program to monitor pollutants in fish tissue for the purpose of evaluating risks to human health from consumption.

Data were collected as recent as 2018 and two of the thirteen samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

The weight of evidence of the data and information indicate water quality standards are not attained.

Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

Two of the thirteen samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the thirteen samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration (wet weight) in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the " Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

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. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

Two of the thirteen samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the thirteen samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration (wet weight) in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the " Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

4. 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.

Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.11 and 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

Under section 3.11 when all other listing factors do not result in the listing of a water segment, but information indicates non-attainment of standards, a water segment shall be evaluated to determine whether the weight of evidence demonstrates that water quality standard is not attained. If the weight of evidence indicates non-attainment, the water segment shall be placed on the CWA section 303(d) List.

The COMM beneficial use has not been designated to this waterbody. However, data were collected in this waterbody by the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program to monitor pollutants in fish tissue for the purpose of evaluating risks to human health from consumption.

Data were collected as recent as 2018 and 5 samples out of 13 exceed the allowable frequency based on table 3.1 of the Listing Policy.

The weight of evidence of the data and information indicate water quality standards are not attained.

Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

Five of the thirteen samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the thirteen samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration (wet weight) in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

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. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Five of the thirteen samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the thirteen samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration (wet weight) in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

Sample exceedance for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed, exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.1 of the Listing Policy.
4. Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are met.

Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.4 and 4.1 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

The COMM beneficial use has not been designated to this waterbody. However, OEHHA issued a Health Advisory for All-American Canal in 2018 for PCBs. The advisory includes consumption recommendations for common carp and channel catfish, which were the two fish species sampled in LOE 129920. The data were also collected by the Surface Water Ambient Monitoring Program (SWAMP) to monitor pollutants in fish tissue for the purpose of evaluating risks to human health from consumption. And as seen in LOE 129920, the data exceeds the allowable threshold according to section 3.1 of the Listing Policy.

Data were collected as recent as 2018 and 5 out of 6 samples exceed the allowable frequency based on table 3.1 of the Listing Policy.

The weight of evidence of the data and information indicate water quality standards are not attained.

Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

Five of the six samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal
for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the six samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration (wet weight) in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

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. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Five of the six samples exceed the modified OEHHA Fish Contaminant Goal
for the "Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the six samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum total concentration (wet weight) in tissue samples for protection of aquatic life from bioaccumulation of toxic substances for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

4. 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 be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.

Pollutant: Chloride
Final Listing Decision: Do Not List on 303(d) list (TMDL required list)
Last Listing Cycle's Final Listing Decision: New Decision
Revision Status Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

Two lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

Zero of the two samples exceed the Drinking Water Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the two samples exceed the criterion continuous concentration (expressed as a 4-day average) to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3.
Zero of the two samples exceed the Drinking Water Secondary Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed.

Zero of the two samples exceed the criterion continuous concentration (expressed as a 4-day average) to protect aquatic life in freshwater for the "Warm Freshwater Habitat" beneficial use assessed.

This sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 26 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.2.
4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for placement on the section 303(d) list under section 3.5 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

None of the thirteen samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum concentration for protection of aquatic life for bioaccumulation of toxic substances.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. None of the thirteen samples exceed the National Academy of Science guidelines (NAS 1972) maximum concentration for protection of aquatic life for bioaccumulation of toxic substances.
This sample size is insufficient to determine with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy if standards are not met. A minimum of 16 samples is needed for application of table 3.1.
4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Zero of the one sample(s) exceed the guideline 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.

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; OEHHA, 2005)

Region 7     
All American Canal
 
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 section 303(d) list under section 3.5 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.5 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

Nine lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. None of the samples exceed the water quality objective.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. None of three fish tissue samples exceeded the Statewide Sport Fish Water Quality Objective for the protection of the Commercial and Sport Fishing (CDFW).

None of three fish tissue samples exceeded the Statewide Sport Fish Water Quality Objective for the protection of Wildlife Habitat.

The samples do not exceed the allowable frequency of the listing Policy in 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 because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1, a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

One line of evidence is available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Zero of the three samples exceed the California Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. Zero of the three samples exceed the California Maximum Contaminant Level for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. This sample size is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating. A minimum of 16 samples is needed to determine if a beneficial use is fully supported using table 3.1.
4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Regional Board Conclusion: 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

LOEs for this waterbody-pollutant combination from previous cycles were reviewed, determined to be inaccurate, and removed.
 
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Revision Status Revised
Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution: Pollutant
 
Regional Board Conclusion: This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.

Three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Seven of the 76 samples exceed the threshold.

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. Seven of the 76 samples exceed the threshold 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.
 
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.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality: Three of 71 water quality samples collected exceeded the water quality objective (CRBRWQCB, 2006a). The All American Canal is a diversion from the Colorado River, which is meant to deliver water for the beneficial uses identified in the Colorado River Basin Plan. The narrative objective for the All American Canal is the same as in the Colorado River, so it is assumed that the numerical objectives for the river are the more appropriate way to interpret the narrative objective in the canal. This approach allows consistency with the Colorado River objective.

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.

Fifteen lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant.

One of the 72 samples exceed the Colorado River Basin Region Water Quality Control Plan water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed.

Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.

This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy.
2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy.
3. One of the 72 samples exceed the Colorado River Basin Region Water Quality Control Plan water quality objective for the "Municipal & Domestic Supply" beneficial use assessed. 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.
 
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.
