Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Regional Water Board Resolution No. 98-66, adopted by the
					 North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board on May 28, 1998 and
					 subsequently revised on December 10, 1998, modified the regulatory provisions
					 in Section
					 4, Implementation Plans, Nonpoint
					 Source Measures of the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region by
					 establishing a phased total maximum daily load (TMDL), an implementation plan,
					 and a monitoring plan for sediment in the Garcia River watershed in
					 southwestern Mendocino County. This resolution was revised and readopted by the
					 North Coast Regional Water Board as Resolution No. R1-2001-72 on June 28, 2001,
					 which modified the Garcia River Water Quality Attainment Action Plan for
					 Sediment which includes the TMDL, Implementation Plan, and Monitoring
					 Plan.
(a) The TMDL establishes the
				  goal of attaining specified targets by the year 2049 for migration barriers,
				  embeddedness, fines, primary pool frequency, proportion of fine sediment in a
				  pool, median particle sizes, large woody debris, width-to-depth ratio, thalweg
				  profile, and stream channel opening.
(b) The TMDL identifies the loading capacity
				  of the Garcia River watershed as 552 tons/sq.mi./year, a 60 percent reduction
				  of the average annual sediment load, and allocates the load to all dischargers
				  as "zero controllable discharges." The loading capacity will be measured over
				  40 years.
(c) The implementation
				  plan requires landowners to identify and control all existing and future
				  controllable discharges of sediment in accordance with specified schedules
				  using one of three options:
(1) comply with
				  waste discharge prohibitions that prohibit the controllable discharge of any
				  organic or earthen material into the waters of the Garcia River or to any
				  location where it could pass into the waters of the Garcia River; or
(2) comply with an approved erosion control
				  plan and an approved site-specific management plan; or
(3) comply with an approved erosion control
				  plan and the Garcia River Management Plan. The amendment specifies that it will
				  not impose administrative civil liabilities for violations of the prohibitions
				  if the discharging landowner is implementing an approved erosion control plan
				  and management plan, but will consider the need to revise the plans or to issue
				  a cleanup and abatement order.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Regional Board Resolution No. R1 2003-0052, adopted on June
					 26, 2003 by the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board, modifies the
					 Beneficial Uses Chapter (Chapter 2) of the
North Coast Regional Water
					 Quality Control Plan
(Basin Plan) by (1) updating the Beneficial Use
					 Table 2-1 to include the Calwater classification system and a more refined
					 level of beneficial use designation; (2) recognizing four existing beneficial
					 uses of waters in the region (WET, WQE, FLD, and CUL); (3) recognizing two
					 existing water body categories in the region (groundwater and wetlands); (4)
					 modifying the existing beneficial use definition (COMM) for clarity; and (5) a
					 beneficial use recognizing the existing "Subsistence Fishing" (FISH) use in the
					 region.
This update meets the requirements of the Federal Clean
					 Water Act (CWA), which requires that States designate beneficial uses for
					 surface waters at a minimum, for the protection and propagation of fish,
					 shellfish and wildlife, recreation in and on the water, use of water for public
					 water supplies, and agricultural, industrial, and navigational purposes (CWA
					 §
										101 and §
										303). Beneficial uses must be
					 designated and periodically updated for all waters of the State. Flexibility
					 inherent in the State process allows for the refinement and clarification of
					 specific uses, which has been realized with this Basin Plan update. The
					 amendment also brings the beneficial use designations up to date, to reflect
					 the current state of knowledge of the existing and potential uses of the waters
					 in the region, and makes the general previous designations more
					 specific.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
On March 24, 2004, the North Coast Regional Water Quality
					 Control Board (North Coast Water Board) adopted Resolution No. R1-2004-0011,
					 thereby amending Chapters 3 and 4 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the
					 North Coast Region (Basin Plan). The amendment authorizes the inclusion of
					 compliance schedules in National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
					 permits under the following circumstances:
1. Where the NPDES limitations are
				  implementing water quality objectives, criteria, or prohibitions that are
				  adopted, revised, or newly interpreted after the effective date of this
				  amendment. Compliance schedules shall not exceed ten years after adoption,
				  revision, or reinterpretation of the objectives, criteria, or
				  prohibitions;
2. Where a
				  discharger, currently operating under a non-NPDES permit, under new
				  interpretation of the law is required to comply with NPDES permitting
				  limitations that implements water quality objectives, criteria, or prohibitions
				  that are adopted, revised, or newly interpreted after July 1, 1977 and that are
				  not included in the permit. Compliance schedules shall not exceed ten years
				  after the effective date of the initial NPDES permit; and
3. Where a discharger is required to comply
				  with a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) adopted as a single permitting action
				  that implements water quality objectives, criteria, or prohibitions that are
				  adopted, revised, or newly interpreted after the effective date of this
				  amendment. Compliance may extend beyond ten years from the date of permit
				  issuance.
Schedules of compliance shall contain interim limits and
					 shall in all cases be as short as feasible. An existing discharger must submit
					 a written request and prove to the North Coast Water Board's satisfaction that
					 it is infeasible to immediately comply with NPDES effluent or receiving water
					 limitations. A discharger must further provide:
(1) results of diligent efforts to quantify
				  pollutant levels in the discharge and the sources of the pollutant in the waste
				  stream;
(2) documentation of source
				  control efforts currently underway or completed;
(3) a proposed schedule for additional source
				  control measures or waste treatment;
(4) the highest discharge quality that is
				  feasible to achieve until final compliance is attained;
(5) a demonstration that the proposed
				  schedule of compliance is as short as feasible;
(6) data demonstrating current treatment
				  facility performance; and
(7)
				  additional information and analyses, to be determined by the North Coast Water
				  Board on a case-by-case basis.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for Sediment and Water
					 Temperature in the Scott River Watershed specify potential shade targets for
					 water temperature and load allocations for sediment, which must be fully
					 attained 40 years after the effective date of the TMDLs. The implementation
					 actions are designed to encourage and build upon ongoing, proactive restoration
					 and enhancement efforts and to comply with the State's
Policy for the
					 Implementation and Enforcement of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Control
					 Program
. Should any of the implementation actions fail to be
					 implemented by the responsible party or should the implementation actions prove
					 to be inadequate, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (North
					 Coast Water Board) shall take appropriate permitting and/or enforcement
					 actions.
Monitoring (e.g., implementation monitoring, upslope
					 effectiveness monitoring, instream effectiveness monitoring, and compliance and
					 trend monitoring) may be required of identified responsible parties in
					 conjunction with existing and/or proposed human activities that will likely
					 result in sediment waste discharges or elevated water temperatures.
					 Additionally, North Coast Water Board staff shall develop a compliance and
					 trend monitoring plan within one year of the date the Scott River TMDL Action
					 Plan takes effect. The North Coast Water Board will conduct an extensive and
					 focused reassessment after the Scott River TMDL Action Plan has been in effect
					 for ten years, or sooner if the North Coast Water Board determines it
					 necessary. North Coast Water Board staff will report to the North Coast Water
					 Board at least yearly on the status and progress of implementation actions. For
					 actions that rely on encouragement of existing efforts that address water
					 quality impairments, the North Coast Water Board will conduct a formal
					 assessment of the proven or expected effectiveness of these efforts within five
					 years of approval of the TMDL Action Plan.

California Code of Regulations › Title 23 - Waters › Division 4 - Regional Water Quality Control Boards › Chapter 1 - Water Quality Control Plans, Policies, and Guidelines › Article 1 - North Coast Region › Section 3908 - Total Maximum Daily Loads for Dissolved Oxygen and Water Temperature in the Shasta River Watershed

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (North
					 Coast Water Board) adopted an amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for
					 the North Coast Region to establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for the
					 Shasta River Watershed. The TMDLs allocate loads for dissolved oxygen and water
					 temperature in the Shasta River Watershed. For temperature, landowners and
					 operators in the main stem of the Shasta River below Dwinnell Dam are allocated
					 loads equal to potential percent solar radiation transmittance, and landowners
					 and operators on the Shasta River above Dwinnell Dam, and on its tributaries,
					 are allocated loads equal to adjusted potential effective shade. For dissolved
					 oxygen, load allocations are assigned to different reaches of the Shasta River.
					 These allocations account for the total net daily oxygen demand for each
					 reach.
The implementation actions are designed to encourage and
					 build upon on-going, proactive restoration and enhancement efforts, and to
					 comply with the state's Policy for the Implementation and Enforcement of the
					 Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program. Should any of the implementation
					 actions not be implemented by the responsible party or should the
					 implementation actions prove to be inadequate, the North Coast Water Board
					 shall take appropriate permitting and/or enforcement actions.
Monitoring (e.g. implementation monitoring, upslope
					 effectiveness monitoring, instream effectiveness monitoring, and compliance and
					 trend monitoring) may be required in conjunction with existing and/or proposed
					 human activities that will likely result in increased oxygen demand or elevated
					 water temperatures. The North Coast Water Board will review, reassess, and
					 possibly revise the Shasta TMDL Action Plan every three years as part of the
					 Basin Planning Triennial Review process. North Coast Water Board staff will
					 report to the North Coast Water Board at least yearly on the status and
					 progress of implementation activities. Staff will conduct an assessment of
					 effectiveness of collaborative efforts in the on-going programs within five
					 years from the date of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approval and a more
					 extensive reassessment of the Action Plan within 10 years, or sooner.
