| Pollutant/Water Body Combination Addressed target: Board staff had planned to conduct a separate Regional Board action to delist 6 waterbody/pollutant combinations. Once it was determined that these delistings could be addressed through the accelerated 2014/2016 Integrated Report cycle, effort was shifted to writing the decisions necessary for these delistings. Anticipated Regional Board delisting action is April 2017. | |||||

| Region 8 Wastewater Unit has 5 line staff available to perform permitting, inspection and enforcement activities at NPDES and WDR permitted facilities. Fiscal year 2015-2016 performance targets for both programs were developed based on 10.6 PYs. Despite this discrepancy, the unit achieved 100 % of its targets in renewing major and minor individual NPDES permits and exceeded NPDES and WDR inspection targets. Significant staff time was re-directed to other regional board priorities that took away from achieving the WDR permitting targets including issuance of eight individual exemptions for onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) that did not meet the conditions of the General Waiver (Order No. R8 2013-0015) and the initial review of the Local Area Management Plans for the counties of San Bernardino and Riverside pursuant to the statewide OWTS policy. | |||||

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 This includes the number of permits revised, which should include the number of permits reviewed, revised and/or rescinded.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.
TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS
- Target circles: • = Less than 60% of target met
