Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The TMDL addresses toxicity in Chollas Creek caused by the
					 pesticide diazinon. The concentration-based numeric targets and TMDL for
					 diazinon were set equal to the California Department of Fish and Game
					 freshwater Water Quality Criteria for diazinon. The acute Water Quality
					 Criterion of 0.08 µg/L protects aquatic life from short-term exposure to
					 diazinon, while the chronic criterion of 0.05 µg/L protects aquatic life
					 from long-term diazinon exposure. The concentration-based wasteload and load
					 allocations of this TMDL were assigned equally to all diazinon discharge
					 sources in the Chollas Creek Watershed. All allocations were set at 90 percent
					 of the numeric targets resulting in a diazinon allocation equal to 0.072
					 µg/L under acute exposure conditions (one-hour average) and a diazinon
					 allocation of 0.045 µg/L under chronic exposure conditions (four-day
					 average). Frequency of allowed exceedances are set at once every three years on
					 the average. These allocations include an explicit 10 percent margin of safety
					 to account for uncertainties in the TMDL analysis and represent approximately a
					 90 percent reduction from current loads.
The responsible parties are the Cities of San Diego, Lemon
					 Grove, and La Mesa, the San Diego Unified Port District, the County of San
					 Diego, and the California Department of Transportation. These entities are
					 responsible for implementation of the TMDL and for reduction of their diazinon
					 discharges. The Regional Board will revise the San Diego Municipal Separate
					 Storm Sewer System Permit to make it consistent with the wasteload and load
					 allocation part of this TMDL. Compliance with numeric limitations for diazinon
					 will be required in accordance with a phased schedule of compliance.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Regional Board Resolution No. R9-2005-0036, adopted on
					 February 9, 2005 by the San Diego Regional Water Quality Control Board,
					 modified the regulatory provisions of the Water Quality Control Plan for the
					 San Diego Region by (1) adding a footnote to Chapter 2 (Beneficial Uses)
					 referencing Rainbow Creek's listing on the Clean Water Act Section
					 303(d) list, (2)
					 adding text to Chapter 3 (Water Quality Objectives) referencing the 303(d)
					 listing of Rainbow Creek and adoption of the TMDLs implementation plans in
					 Chapter 4 (Implementation), and (3) adding text to Chapter 4 establishing total
					 nitrogen and total phosphorus total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for Rainbow
					 Creek Watershed.
The TMDLs address impairment due to excess nutrients being
					 discharged to the creek from land uses, including agricultural and residential
					 uses, highway runoff, and contaminated groundwater. The numeric targets limit
					 concentrations of nitrate to protect drinking water resources, and total
					 nitrogen and total phosphorus to prevent the development of excessive algae
					 that can lead to eutrophic conditions in Rainbow Creek. Compliance with
					 objectives to protect municipal supply, water contact and non-water contact
					 recreation, and aquatic and wildlife beneficial uses is to be achieved no later
					 than 16 years after U.S. Environmental Protection Agency approval of the TMDLs.
					 Load allocations are assigned for land uses, septic tank disposal systems, and
					 air deposition. Waste load allocations are assigned for highway runoff and
					 unidentified point sources. Reductions will be phased over the compliance
					 period. Implementation includes investigations of groundwater contamination,
					 water quality monitoring, and implementation of best management practices to
					 control runoff. Additional regulatory enforcement options are to be used if
					 necessary. The total nitrogen and total phosphorus TMDLs contain a five percent
					 (5%) explicit margin of safety.

					 amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Region (Basin
					 Plan) that incorporates Revised Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for Indicator
					 Bacteria, Project I -- Twenty Beaches and Creeks in the San Diego Region
					 (including Tecolote Creek). The State Water Resources Control Board approved
					 this amendment under Resolution No. 2010-0064 on December 14, 2010.
The purpose of these TMDLs is to restore and protect the
					 recreational beneficial uses of the receiving waters of 12 Pacific Ocean
					 shoreline segments, 2 creek mouths, and 6 creeks. The numeric targets for these
					 TMDLs include the recreational water contact beneficial use water quality
					 objectives for total coliform, fecal coliform, and
Enterococcus
indicator bacteria prescribed in the Basin Plan,
					 and allowable wet weather and dry weather exceedance frequencies.
The TMDLs will be implemented primarily by reissuing or
					 revising the existing National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
					 waste discharge requirements for the Phase I and Caltrans municipal separate
					 storm sewer systems (MS4s). The Phase I and Caltrans MS4s are required to meet
					 and maintain the water quality objectives in the receiving waters and achieve
					 the TMDLs within the compliance schedules prescribed in the amendment. Other
					 discharges identified as significant sources of bacteria (e.g., agriculture)
					 will also be required to meet and maintain the water quality objectives in the
					 receiving waters. Future actions that may be implemented, as necessary, by the
					 San Diego Water Board include issuing investigative orders, enforcement
					 actions, conditional waivers, and/or waste discharge requirements, as well as
					 developing subsequent Basin Plan amendments to refine the provisions of these
					 TMDLs. The San Diego Water Board will initiate a Basin Plan amendment project
					 to revise the requirements and/or provisions for implementing these TMDLs
					 within 5 years from the effective date of this Basin Plan amendment, unless
					 insufficient data exist to support the initiation of a Basin Plan
					 amendment.

California Code of Regulations › Title 23 - Waters › Division 4 - Regional Water Quality Control Boards › Chapter 1 - Water Quality Control Plans, Policies, and Guidelines › Article 9 - San Diego Region › Section 3991 - An Amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin to Incorporate the Total Maximum Daily Load for Sediment in los Peñasquitos Lagoon, San Diego

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San
					 Diego Region (San Diego Water Board) adopted Resolution No. R9-2012-0033 on
					 June 13, 2012, an amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego
					 Basin (Basin Plan) that incorporates a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for
					 Sediment in Los Peñasquitos Lagoon. The State Water Resources Control
					 Board approved this amendment under Resolution No. 2014-0001 on January 21,
					 2014.
The purpose of the TMDL is to restore and protect the
					 beneficial uses of the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon. The watershed numeric
					 target for the TMDL was set equal to natural sediment loadings, and the lagoon
					 numeric target was set equal to 80 percent of the total saltmarsh acreage
					 present in 1973 prior to intensive urban development. When the sediment TMDL is
					 achieved, the Lagoon will once again meet the applicable water quality standard
					 for sediment.
The TMDL establishes an Implementation Plan that requires
					 responsible parties to jointly reduce the current sediment loading by 67
					 percent, and to restore tidal and non-tidal saltmarsh toward 346 acres with a
					 20-year compliance schedule. The TMDL will be implemented primarily through
					 National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for the Phase I
					 and Caltrans municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4s), and through
					 statewide storm water general NPDES permits for Phase II MS4s, industrial, and
					 construction sites. Other discharges identified as significant sources of
					 long-term sediment loadings into the watershed will also be required to
					 implement the TMDL through appropriate regulatory mechanisms issued by the San
					 Diego Water Board.
Regulated parties must ensure that their facilities prevent
					 erosion and sediment discharges through the implementation of control measures
					 (e.g., site planning, sediment and erosion controls) and monitoring and
					 reporting requirements. Certain dischargers that have potential for long-term
					 sediment loadings into the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon watershed must also
					 participate in efforts to monitor and measure the progress of watershed
					 sediment load reductions and improvements in saltmarsh habitat acreage.

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board, San
					 Diego Region, adopted Resolution No. R9-2015-0008 on April 15, 2015, amending
					 the
Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (9)
(Basin Plan). The State Water Resources Control Board approved the amendment by
					 adopting State Board Resolution No. 2015-0066 on November 17, 2015.
The purpose of this Basin Plan amendment is to revise
					 several chapters within the Basin Plan. The nitrate water quality objective for
					 groundwater was made consistent with the allowable maximum contaminant level
					 for drinking water at 45 mg/L nitrate as NO3 in all
					 hydrologic areas/subareas with numeric objectives, except in the Warner Valley
					 Hydrologic Area. Warner Valley's freshwater replenishment beneficial use
					 designation for groundwater precludes raising the nitrate water quality
					 objective. The Basin Plan amendment revises existing provisions for regulation
					 of onsite wastewater treatment systems and incorporates the provisions of the
					 State Water Resources Control Board's
Water Quality Control Policy for
					 Siting, Design, Operation, and Maintenance of Onsite Wastewater Treatment
					 Systems.
Implementation provisions were added for the nitrate
					 groundwater quality objective to protect surface-water quality where
					 groundwater and surface water are interconnected. An implementation provision
					 prohibiting private ownership of community sewerage systems was removed from
					 the Basin Plan. Other revisions also included addition of descriptions of
					 current statewide policies, deletion of expired conditional waivers, and other
					 minor non-substantive changes.
