Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (Los
					 Angeles Water Board) Resolution No. R4-2007-007, adopted on June 7, 2007 by the
					 Los Angeles Water Board, modified the regulatory provisions of the Water
					 Quality Control Plan for the Los Angeles Region by:
(1) revising the Table of Contents,
(2) adding introductory text for Chapter 7
				  (Total Maximum Daily Loads), and
(3) establishing a Total Maximum Daily Load
				  for trash in Revolon Slough and Beardsley Wash.
The amendment establishes the numeric target with which
					 wasteload allocations for point source discharges and load allocations for
					 nonpoint source discharges are calculated. Wasteload allocations will be
					 implemented through storm water permits via the authority vested in the
					 Executive Officer by section
					 13267 of the Porter-Cologne Water
					 Quality Control Act (Water Code section
					 13000 et seq.).
					 Load allocations shall be implemented through either (1) a conditional waiver
					 from waste discharge requirements, or (2) an alternative program implemented
					 through waste discharge requirements or an individual waiver or another
					 appropriate order of the Los Angeles Water Board.
The Regional Board adopted Resolution No. R18-005 on June
					 14, 2018 revising the TMDL to align the implementation requirements in the
					 existing TMDL with the scope of the "Amendment to the Water Quality Control
					 Plan for Ocean Waters of California to Control Trash" and "Part 1 Trash
					 Provisions of the Water Quality Control Plan for Inland Surface Waters,
					 Enclosed Bays, and Estuaries," known as the statewide Trash Amendments. In
					 accordance with the statewide Trash Amendments, MS4 permittees assigned WLAs in
					 the Revolon Slough and Beardsley Wash Trash TMDL are only required to address
					 point source discharges of trash in priority land use areas in the MS4. The
					 revised TMDL requires nonpoint source responsible entities to revise their
					 trash monitoring and reporting plans to increase the frequencies and locations
					 of trash collection events to address any trash potentially discharged from
					 non-priority MS4 land use ares.
The revised TMDL also removes the waivers of Waste
					 Discharge Requirements to regulate nonpoint sources of trash and replaces the
					 requirement with language referencing the statewide Policy for Implementation
					 and Enforcement of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program. The revised
					 TMDL also separates requirements for the California Department of
					 Transportation from requirements for other MS4 permittees, consistent with the
					 statewide Trash Amendments.
