Supporting Information

Regional Board 5 - Central Valley Region

Water Body Name:	Blewett Drain (Stanislaus County)
Water Body ID:	CAR5411000020101114234327
Water Body Type:	River & Stream


DECISION ID	159909	Region 5
Blewett Drain (Stanislaus County)

Pollutant:	2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid)
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:	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.

DECISION ID	169916	Region 5
Blewett Drain (Stanislaus County)

Pollutant:	DDD (Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethane)
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:	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.

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.

Pollutant:	Selenium
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:	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.

Blewett Drain (Stanislaus County)

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)(2016)
Revision Status	Original
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 five samples exceed the Department of Public Health archived advisory level 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. 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 five samples exceed the Department of Public Health archived advisory level for MUN 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.
