Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23 § 3929.7
On March 20, 2009, the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Coast Region (Central Coast Water Board) adopted Resolution No. R3-2009-0009, amending the Water Quality Control Plan for the Central Coast Region. The State Water Resources Control Board approved the amendment under Resolution No. 2011-0019, on April 19, 2011.
Regional Board Resolution No. R3-2009-0009, establishes Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for fecal coliform in the Corralitos and Salsipuedes Creeks and adds the Corralitos and Salsipuedes Creek Watershed to the human fecal material discharge prohibition and the domestic animal waste discharge prohibition.
The Central Coast Water Board set wasteload and load allocations for the watershed, and numeric targets for receiving waters based on the Basin Plan water quality objectives for fecal coliform in waters supporting body contact recreation. Implementation of the TMDLs relies on compliance by non-point source dischargers with prohibitions against the discharge of domestic animal waste and human fecal material. Responsible parties will need to demonstrate compliance with the prohibitions through reporting to the Central Coast Water Board or its Executive Officer. Additionally, the Central Coast Water Board will rely upon existing National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permits and Waste Discharge Requirements to ensure that implementing parties carry out implementation actions.
Central Coast Water Board staff plan to conduct triennial reviews of implementation actions, monitoring results, and evaluations submitted by responsible parties of their progress towards achieving their allocations. The compliance schedule for achieving the TMDLs and the numeric target for fecal coliform concentration is 13 years after the TMDLs are approved by the Office of Administrative Law.
