Regional Board Conclusion: | Readily available data for this water body have not been used to determine standards attainment. No decision has been made regarding beneficial use support due to a lack of clarity in the status of this water body under the Clean Water Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. A decision regarding the beneficial use support of this water body will be made during a future Integrated Report cycle if it is determined that this water body is classified as a Water of the United States under the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. |
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 of a lack of clarity in the status of this water body under the Clean Water Act and the Navigable Waters Protection Rule. |

Regional Board Conclusion: | Readily available data for this waterbody were not used to determine standards attainment as the status of the waterbody as a water of the United States is uncertain. The 303(d) list is authorized under the Clean Water Act and is therefore limited to waters of the United States. Data will be used to determine standards attainment during a future Integrated Report cycle if it is determined that this water body is classified as a water of the United States. |
Regional Board Decision Recommendation: | After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the listing status for this water body-pollutant combination should not change this cycle because of a lack of clarity in the status of this water body under the Clean Water Act. |
