During FY 14-15, TMDL/NPS staff planned to present to the Regional Board for adoption several resolutions for TMDL alternatives and delisting proposals to accomplish 12 waterbody/pollutant combination targets. Staff developed draft staff reports for TMDL alternatives for DDT, dieldrin, PCBs, and toxaphene in Coachella Valley Stormwater Channel and DDT, dieldrin, and PCBs in Wiest Lake. Staff shared and discussed these staff reports with USEPA. Following the discussion with USEPA, staff decided that it is best to accomplish these targets by revising the Coachella and Imperial agricultural waivers in FYs 17-18 and 18-19 as part of the USEPA Vision. The agricultural waivers for Coachella and Imperial valleys were recently approved by our Board and none of these waivers has started monitoring. To revise the waivers appropriately, staff desires to get two years worth of data to assess the trends of these pollutants and the effectiveness of the management practices in controlling them in the waivers. Staff also assessed and discussed with USEPA available data and information for delisting New River for selenium, hexachlorobenzene/HCB, and mercury. USEPA requested that we hold on presenting these delisting proposals to our Board until more studies are conducted and/or more data are collected to confirm the delistings. Staff also found out that more data and studies are needed to confirm listing the New River for nutrients and toxicity, and to develop any needed control plans or TMDLs.

WHAT THE CARD IS SHOWING

Each target card provides a direct comparison of actual outputs for the fiscal year (July 1st to June 30th) to the target estimates established at the outset of the fiscal year. While budgetary and personnel information is not directly aligned with the activities being assessed, it does provide a basis for understanding the relative priority of key programs within each region and across the State. For the actual outputs presented, the Water Boards are continuing to evolve its data bases for improved accuracy. Some of the measurements reported may be different than the measurements tracked by the regions and programs. In addition, there are several targets for which outputs cannot be readily displayed without modification to the databases. This includes the number of permits revised, which should include the number of permits reviewed, revised and/or rescinded.

For the actual outputs presented, the Water Boards are continuing to evolve its data bases for improved accuracy. Some of the measurements reported may be different than the measurements tracked by the regions and programs. Notably, the data portrayed include entries completed before November 4, 2014 and may not reflect data input after that period.

WHY THIS CARD IS IMPORTANT

Beginning with FY 2009-10, performance targets were established for certain output measures. Targets are goals that establish measurable levels of performance to be achieved within a specified time period. This card demonstrates how the resources of the region are being deployed to protect water quality. In establishing the targets, the Regional Water Boards considered the unique differences and needs within their respective watersheds, their work priorities given available resources, external factors such as furloughs, and prior year outputs.
