The Santa Ana Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted on June 16, 2017 Resolution No. R8-2017-0019, amending the Water Quality Control Plan for the Santa Ana River Basin (Basin Plan). The State Water Resources Control Board approved the amendments under Resolution No. 2018-0007 on February 6, 2018.
The amendments revise the compliance schedule for the Fecal Coliform Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) for shellfish harvesting (SHEL) in Newport Bay to extend the deadline to December 31, 2022 to implement measures to meet the SHEL objective; revise the SHEL beneficial use definition to make the definition consistent with the other coastal waterboards; add antidegradation targets for waters with non-contact water recreation (REC2) beneficial use; add surface water bodies to Tables 3-1 and 4-1 and designate beneficial uses for those and other waters; and make other editorial changes (create a new Chapter 6 with an introductory narrative in the Basin Plan to include all TMDLs, revise subsequent chapter numbering, and add footnotes in Chapters 4 and 5 to explain the different units that are used for expressing concentrations of fecal indicator bacteria).
