ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[FRL–8270–2] 

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Availability of San Gabriel River Total 

Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This action announces the 

availability of EPA proposed total 

maximum daily loads (TMDLs) in San 

Gabriel River watershed to address 

water quality limited segments and 

elevated metals and selenium levels 

pursuant to Clean Water Act Section 

303(d)(1), and requests public comment. 

Section 303(d)(1) requires that states 

submit water quality planning 

documents called total maximum daily 

loads for impaired waters for which 

existing technology-based pollution 

controls are not stringent enough to 

attain or maintain state water quality 

standards. EPA must approve or 

disapprove the State’s submitted 

TMDLs. 

Today, EPA is providing the public 

the opportunity to review proposed 

TMDLs for San Gabriel River metals. 

EPA is establishing these TMDLs in lieu 

of California because of deadlines 

associated with the consent decree 

described below. EPA will prepare a 

responsiveness summary that 

demonstrates how public comments 

were considered in the final TMDL 

decisions. The responsiveness 

document will be available when the 

TMDLs are established. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted to 

EPA on or before February 15, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Comments on the proposed 

decisions should be sent to Terrence 

Fleming, Water Division (WTR–2), U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency 

Region IX, 75 Hawthorne Street, San 

Francisco, CA 94105, telephone (415) 

972–3462, facsimile (415) 947–3537, 

e-mail fleming.terrence@epa.gov. Oral 

comments will not be considered. 

Copies of the proposed TMDLs for San 

Gabriel River watershed will be 

available on EPA Region 9’s Web site at 

http://www.epa.gov/region9/water/ 

tmdl/303d.html or by writing or calling 

Mr. Fleming at the above address. 

Underlying documentation comprising 

the record for these TMDLs is available 

for public inspection at the above 

address. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Terrence Fleming at (415) 972–3462 or 

fleming.terrence@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the Clean Water Act requires 

states to identify water bodies that do 

not meet water quality standards and 

then to establish TMDLs for each water 

body for each pollutant of concern. 

TMDLs identify the maximum amount 

of pollutants that can be discharged to 

water bodies without causing violations 

of water quality standards. Several 

reaches or tributaries of the San Gabriel 

River are included on the State of 

California’s Section 303(d) list of 

polluted waters due to water quality 

impacts associated with discharges of 

metals and selenium. EPA will establish 

TMDLs for metals and selenium for 

waters in the watershed by March 26, 

2007 because of deadlines under a 

consent decree (Heal the Bay Inc., et al. 

v. Browner C 98–4825 SBA, entered 

March 24, 1999). 

The Los Angeles Regional Water 

Quality Control Board is in the process 

of developing TMDLs for metals and 

selenium for the San Gabriel River 

watershed. However, because the State 

is not expected to adopt and submit 

these metals and selenium TMDLs by 

March 26, 2007, EPA is establishing 

these metals and selenium pollutant 

TMDLs. 

Dated: January 8, 2007.
