Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 45, November 8, 2024
Section 3933 - A Total Maximum Daily Load for Trash for the East Fork of the San Gabriel River

Resolution No. 99-15, adopted on October 28, 1999 by the Los Angeles Regional Water Quality Control Board (LARWQCB), 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 (TMDL) for Trash for the East Fork of the San Gabriel River. The TMDL addresses impairment to water quality due to trash being deposited in and along the stream by recreational users. The TMDL sets a numeric target of no trash in the river which implicitly incorporates a margin of safety, based on a conservative interpretation of narrative water quality objectives. As the responsible party, the U.S. Forest Service is assigned a load allocation of zero trash discharged to the river. On May 25, 2000, the LARWQCB adopted Resolution No. 00-10, which revised the implementation dates contained within the TMDL. The U.S. Forest Service must submit a TMDL Implementation Plan within 60 days of the effective date of the amendment and begin implementation and monitoring within 90 days of the effective date of the amendment. The U.S. Forest Service must demonstrate compliance with the TMDL numeric target no later than April 1, 2003.
