WHEREAS:

1. Section 303(d) of the Federal Clean Water Act requires the State to identify surface waters that do not meet applicable water quality standards with technology-based controls alone.
   
2. The list of waters identified under Section 303(d) must also include a description of the pollutants causing impairment and a priority ranking of the waters for purposes of development of Total Maximum Daily Loads.
   
3. The Regional Water Quality Control Boards have adopted their respective lists as required under Section 303(d) and submitted those lists to the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB).
4. The State Board considered the Regional Board recommendations (Attachment 1) and the comments of numerous parties at the the May 14, 1998 SWRCB Workshop.
   

The SWRCB approves the 1998 California Section 303(d) list of impaired surface waters as adopted by the Regional Boards with the revisions shown in Attachment 2, and authorizes the Executive Director to transmit the list to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for approval.

The undersigned, Administrative Assistant to the Board, does hereby certify that the foregoing is a full, true, and correct copy of a resolution duly and regularly adopted at a meeting of the State Water Resources Control Board held on May 27, 1998.
