Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for removal from the CWA section 303(d) List under section 4.2 of the Listing Policy. Under this section a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
39 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. 22 of the 64 samples exceed the evaluation guideline for COLD and 29 of the 51 samples exceed the evaluation guideline for MIGR beneficial use.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against removing this water segment-pollutant combination from the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. 22 of 64 samples exceeded the evaluation guideline and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 4.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 4.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be removed from the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards for the pollutant are being exceeded.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at the Arroyo Mocho watershed as part of SWAMP assessment. Continuous field monitoring at 15 minute increments of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and specific conductance was conducted to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at five locations throughout the watershed.
The measured temperatures ranged from 6.1°C to 27.72 °C and varied with season and location. The 17 °C criterion for steelhead was exceeded in 6 out of 12 deployments.
High water temperatures exceeding 24 °C, that is a maximum short exposure temperature for survival of salmonids (EPA 1977) were also measured at three monitoring locations at lower and upper reaches of the Creek during spring and summer seasons. At the monitoring site in the lower reach of the Arroyo Mocho Creek high temperature persisted for up to 5.75 hours during spring while at the middle and upper reach it lasted from 5 to more than 9 hours.
Temperature objectives for enclosed bays and estuaries are specified in the "Water Quality Control Plan for Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate Waters and Enclosed Bays of California" including any revisions to the plan. In addition, the following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: The natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses.
The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.
Sullivan et al. (2000) reviewed a wide range of studies incorporating information from laboratory-based research, field observations, and risk assessment approaches and developed criteria for assessing temperature risk to aquatic life. The 7-day mean temperature (maximum value of the 7-day moving average of the daily mean temperature) of 14.8°C was established as the upper threshold criterion for coho salmon and 17.0°C for steelhead trout. The risk assessment approach used by Sullivan et al. (2000) suggests that temperatures exceeding the above thresholds will cause 10% reduction in average fish growth compared to optimal conditions.
Temperature was measured at five sites located on the mainstem of Arroyo Mocho Creek. The highest temperatures were recorded at the monitoring location southeast of Livermore in August 2004. High temperatures also occurred in the lower reach of the Creek during the spring season of 2004.
Temporal Representation:
In 2004 and 2005 the SWAMP Program performed continuous monitoring of temperature at 15 minute intervals for periods of 1-2 weeks in each of three different seasons: winter (5 sites), spring (5 sites), and summer dry season (2 sites).
Environmental Conditions:
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (SWRCB 2002).

Water Board staff assessed SWAMP RWB2 Monitoring data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and results are as follows: 0 of 1 samples exceeded the water quality threshold for Temperature.
Temperature objectives for surface waters are specified in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Plan. The following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: “- The natural receiving water temperature of inland surface waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. - The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.”
Per Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids (Carter 2008, Moyle 1976, and USEPA 1977), the lethal temperature evaluation guideline for both the steelhead adult migration and holding and the steelhead juvenile growth and rearing life stages is 24°C.

This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy.
Zero samples exceeded the objectives, guidelines, or criteria for beneficial uses applicable to this water segment-pollutant combination, which is less than the minimum number of exceedances needed to place the water segment on the section CWA section 303(d) List for conventional or other pollutants (Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy).
The data used satisfies the data quality requirements (section 6.1.4) and data quantity requirements (section 6.1.5) of the Listing Policy.
Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met. Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.1 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
4 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. 0 of 2 samples exceed the evaluation guideline for the aquatic life beneficial use.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. 0 samples exceeded the evaluation guidelines, and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available.
Although there was a sufficient number of samples to assess total chlorine, this water body was given a use rating of Insufficient Information and a Do Not List decision. First, data were collected with field instruments that do not have the sensitivity to detect low levels of total chlorine to assess the freshwater water quality objectives of 11 ug/L and 19 ug/L. Secondly, most of the data were collected only once for a given site, and the data were not collected with the purpose of assessing chlorine levels in the water body. A more appropriate sampling to determine water quality impacts of chlorine might be conducted for future Integrated Report assessments.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Section 3.3.18 of the San Francisco Bay Region's Basin Plan contains the narrative toxicity objective stating that all waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
The evaluation guideline for deltamethrin is the median lethal concentration (LC50) of 0.79 ug/g and is normalized by the percentage of organic carbon in the sediment sample. The LC50 0.79 ug/g is the geometric mean of LC50 values for deltamethrin (Amweg et al., 2005).
Insufficient information is available to determine beneficial use support for this waterbody-pollutant combination with the statistical power and confidence required by the Listing Policy. Beneficial use support will be reassessed in a future cycle, if more data are available.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:
Pollutant
Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.6 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.6 at least two lines of evidence are necessary to assess listing status for pollutants sediment, and pollutant concentrations in sediment must be associated with sediment toxicity to justify adding that pollutant to the CWA section 303(d) List.
13 lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. 2 of the 2 sediment samples exceed the evaluation guideline. 0 of 2 samples exhibit sediment toxicity.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is insufficient justification for placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. 2 of the 2 samples exceed the sediment evaluation guideline but 0 of 2 samples exceed the associated toxicity data and this sample size is SUFFICIENT to determine beneficial use support, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy. There is associated sediment toxicity data as required by Section 3.6 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
0 of the 1 samples collected by BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2014 for Arroyo Mocho exhibited toxicity. A sample may have multiple toxicity test results, but will only be counted once. A sample is defined as being collected on the same day and the same location. The following organisms and parameters were utilized for the toxicity tests: Hyalella azteca for Growth (wt/surv indiv), Hyalella azteca for Survival.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms. Detrimental responses include, but are not limited to, decreased growth rate and decreased reproductive success of resident or indicator species. There shall be no acute toxicity in ambient waters. Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. Attainment of this objective will be determined by analyses of indicator organisms, species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, or toxicity tests (including those described in Chapter 4), or other methods selected by the Water Board. The Water Board will also consider other relevant information and numeric criteria and guidelines for toxic substances developed by other agencies as appropriate.
The sample is toxic when the response of the organisms exposed to the sample is significantly different (worse) than the response of the organisms exposed to the laboratory control based on statistical hypothesis testing. An exceedance is counted when the significant effect code is “Significant; Less Similarity,” which means that the sample result is significantly different than the control result, and the percent effect is greater than the evaluation threshold. The default evaluation threshold is 20% unless otherwise stated.

Impairment from Pollutant or Pollution:
Pollutant
Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
Four lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. One of fifty-one samples exceed the Basin Plan objective.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification against placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. One of fifty-one samples exceed the Basin Plan objective and this does not exceed the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are not being exceeded.

Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Arroyo Mocho watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2004 and 2005. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The 7 day average minimum concentration of dissolved oxygen ranged from 0.2 to 10.5 mg/L and varied with season. Minimum dissolved oxygen levels fell below the objective of 5 mg/L at two locations in spring (April 2004) and one in the summer (August 2004) sampling events. The 7 day average concentration levels were 3.7, 0.7 (all spring) and 0.2 (summer) mg/L DO.

Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Arroyo Mocho watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2004 and 2005. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The 7 day average minimum concentration of dissolved oxygen ranged from 0.2 to 10.5 mg/L and varied with season. Minimum dissolved oxygen levels fell below the objective of 5 mg/L at two locations in spring (April 2004) and one in the summer (August 2004) sampling events. The 7 day average concentration levels were 3.7, 0.7 (all spring) and 0.2 (summer) mg/L DO.
The numeric water quality objective for dissolved oxygen is 5.0 mg/L minimum for waters designated as warm water habitat. The median dissolved oxygen concentration for any three consecutive months shall not be less than 80 percent of the dissolved oxygen content at saturation.
Dissolved oxygen was measured at two sites in summer 2004 and five sites in spring 2004 and winter 2005.
Temporal Representation:
At all locations the SWAMP performed continuous monitoring of dissolved oxygen at 15 minute intervals lasting 7-13 days during spring (April 2004), summer dry season (August 2004), and winter wet season (February 2005).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Arroyo Mocho watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2004 and 2005. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The 7 day average minimum concentration of dissolved oxygen ranged from 0.2 to 10.5 mg/L and varied with season. Minimum dissolved oxygen levels fell below the objective of 7 mg/L at three locations in spring (April 2004) and one in the summer (August 2003) sampling events. The 7 day average concentration levels were 6.5, 3.7, 0.7 (all spring) and 0.2 (summer) mg/L DO.
The numeric water quality objective for dissolved oxygen is 7.0 mg/L minimum for waters designated as cold water habitat. The median dissolved oxygen concentration for any three consecutive months shall not be less than 80 percent of the dissolved oxygen content at saturation.
Dissolved oxygen was measured at two or five sites located on the mainstem of San Mateo Creek that are representative of the entire creek length.
Temporal Representation:
At all locations the SWAMP performed continuous monitoring of dissolved oxygen at 15 minute intervals lasting 7-13 days during spring (April 2004), summer dry season (August 2004), and winter wet season (February 2004).

The dissolved silver criterion maximum concentration (CMC) to protect aquatic life in freshwater is hardnesss dependent. The criterion when calculated using a default hardness of 100 mg/L is 3.4 ug/L. This criterion was divided by 2 in order to better represent a CMC value as specified in footnote (g) of Table (b)(1) of the California Toxics Rule, 2000.

Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin: Controllable water quality factors shall not cause a detrimental increase in concentrations of toxic substances found in bottom sediments or aquatic life. Effects on aquatic organisms, wildlife, and human health will be considered.
Sigler et al. (1984) states that turbidities of 25 NTUs or greater caused reduction in juvenile salmonid growth due to interference with their ability to find food. The application of this evaluation guideline was restricted to the dry season (May to October) because Coho and steelhead early life stages are present during the dry season and feeding becomes infrequent during the winter months (Moyle 2002). Additionally, runoff and resuspension of fine substrate during storm events may naturally elevate turbidity compared to baseflow conditions. The magnitude and duration of these increases will vary depending on the watershed’s geology and land use and may not represent a chronic turbidity problem. Turbidity is naturally higher in tidal river systems, so sample locations with salinity regimes (i.e., Freshwater or Marine) designated as “Marine” were excluded from this analysis.

Sigler et al. (1984) states that turbidities of 25 NTUs or greater caused reduction in juvenile salmonid growth due to interference with their ability to find food. The application of this evaluation guideline was restricted to the dry season (May to October) because Coho and steelhead early life stages are present during the dry season and feeding becomes infrequent during the winter months (Moyle 2002).

Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin: Controllable water quality factors shall not cause a detrimental increase in concentrations of toxic substances found in bottom sediments or aquatic life. Effects on aquatic organisms, wildlife, and human health will be considered.
Turbidities of 40 NTU or greater can cause a reduced foraging efficiency and a shift in prey selection in piscivorous fish (largemouth bass) due to interference with their ability to find prey (Shoup, D.E. and Wahl D.H., 2009). The application of this evaluation guideline was restricted to the dry season (May to October) because runoff and resuspension of fine substrate during storm events may naturally elevate turbidity compared to baseflow conditions. The magnitude and duration of these increases will vary depending on the watershed’s geology and land use and may not represent a chronic turbidity problem. Turbidity is naturally higher in tidal river systems, so sample locations with salinity regimes (i.e., Freshwater or Marine) designated as “Marine” were excluded from this analysis.

Sigler et al. (1984) states that turbidities of 25 NTUs or greater caused reduction in juvenile salmonid growth due to interference with their ability to find food. The application of this evaluation guideline was restricted to the dry season (May to October) because Coho and steelhead early life stages are present during the dry season and feeding becomes infrequent during the winter months (Moyle 2002). Additionally, runoff and resuspension of fine substrate during storm events may naturally elevate turbidity compared to baseflow conditions. The magnitude and duration of these increases will vary depending on the watershed’s geology and land use and may not represent a chronic turbidity problem.

Section 3.3.18 of the San Francisco Bay Region's Basin Plan contains the narrative toxicity objective stating that all waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
For the 2024 Integrated Report, USEPA disapproved 44 benthic community effects decisions that were placed in Category 3. The data and information demonstrated that the biological community is degraded, and the waterbody is listed on the 303(d) list with at least one pollutant impairment affecting an aquatic life beneficial use. This was an interim approach used to provide time to develop the methodology to associate the pollutant as a potential cause of the degraded biology. The USEPA reviewed the appropriateness of these category placements and indicated that the most appropriate classification for these 44 waterbody-pollutant combinations is Category 5. This decision was updated to reflect direction from USEPA.
Benthic Community Effects are being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 3.9 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.9, additional lines of evidence (LOEs) associating the Benthic Community Effects decision with a water or sediment concentration of pollutants other than benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment or habitat assessment LOEs are necessary to place a water body on the 303(d) List for Benthic Community Effects.
Twenty-three line(s) of evidence evaluating benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment data is/are available in the administrative record to assess this indicator. Twenty-one of 23 benthic-macroinvertebrate samples exceed the California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) impairment threshold. Additionally, there are associated pollutant impairments on the waterbody (including but not necessarily limited to Toxicity, Temperature, and pH). Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for placing Benthic Community Effects in this waterbody segment on the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. 21 of 23 benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment samples had CSCI scores below 0.79. Therefore, this water body is exceeding the water quality threshold for the protection of the WARM and/or COLD beneficial use. 4. Pursuant to section 3.9 of the Listing Policy, the water segment has associated pollutant(s) samples that exceed water quality objectives. 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

Per Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids (Carter 2008, Moyle 1976, and USEPA 1977), the lethal temperature evaluation guideline for both the steelhead adult migration and holding and the steelhead juvenile growth and rearing life stages is 24°C.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at the Arroyo Mocho watershed as part of SWAMP assessment. Continuous field monitoring at 15 minute increments of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and specific conductance was conducted to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at five locations throughout the watershed.
The measured temperatures ranged from 6.1°C to 27.72 °C and varied with season and location. The 17 °C criterion for steelhead was exceeded in 6 out of 12 deployments.
High water temperatures exceeding 24 °C, that is a maximum short exposure temperature for survival of salmonids (EPA 1977) were also measured at three monitoring locations at lower and upper reaches of the Creek during spring and summer seasons. At the monitoring site in the lower reach of the Arroyo Mocho Creek high temperature persisted for up to 5.75 hours during spring while at the middle and upper reach it lasted from 5 to more than 9 hours.
Temperature objectives for enclosed bays and estuaries are specified in the "Water Quality Control Plan for Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate Waters and Enclosed Bays of California" including any revisions to the plan. In addition, the following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: The natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses.
The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.
Sullivan et al. (2000) reviewed a wide range of studies incorporating information from laboratory-based research, field observations, and risk assessment approaches and developed criteria for assessing temperature risk to aquatic life. The 7-day mean temperature (maximum value of the 7-day moving average of the daily mean temperature) of 14.8°C was established as the upper threshold criterion for coho salmon and 17.0°C for steelhead trout. The risk assessment approach used by Sullivan et al. (2000) suggests that temperatures exceeding the above thresholds will cause 10% reduction in average fish growth compared to optimal conditions.
Temperature was measured at five sites located on the mainstem of Arroyo Mocho Creek. The highest temperatures were recorded at the monitoring location southeast of Livermore in August 2004. High temperatures also occurred in the lower reach of the Creek during the spring season of 2004.
Temporal Representation:
In 2004 and 2005 the SWAMP Program performed continuous monitoring of temperature at 15 minute intervals for periods of 1-2 weeks in each of three different seasons: winter (5 sites), spring (5 sites), and summer dry season (2 sites).
Environmental Conditions:
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (SWRCB 2002).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Water Board staff assessed BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2017 data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and results are as follows: 1 of 1 samples exceeded the water quality threshold for Temperature.
Temperature objectives for surface waters are specified in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Plan. The following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: “- The natural receiving water temperature of inland surface waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. - The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.”
Per Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids (Carter 2008, Moyle 1976, and USEPA 1977), the lethal temperature evaluation guideline for both the steelhead adult migration and holding and the steelhead juvenile growth and rearing life stages is 24°C.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
1 of the 2 samples collected by BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2014 for Arroyo Mocho exhibited toxicity. A sample may have multiple toxicity test results, but will only be counted once. A sample is defined as being collected on the same day and the same location. The following organisms and parameters were utilized for the toxicity tests: Ceriodaphnia dubia for Survival, Selenastrum capricornutum for Total Cell Count, Pimephales promelas for Survival, Pimephales promelas for Biomass (wt/orig indiv), Ceriodaphnia dubia for Young/female, Hyalella azteca for Survival. The following tests exhibited toxicity: Selenastrum capricornutum for Total Cell Count on 2014-07-23.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms. Detrimental responses include, but are not limited to, decreased growth rate and decreased reproductive success of resident or indicator species. There shall be no acute toxicity in ambient waters. Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. Attainment of this objective will be determined by analyses of indicator organisms, species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, or toxicity tests (including those described in Chapter 4), or other methods selected by the Water Board. The Water Board will also consider other relevant information and numeric criteria and guidelines for toxic substances developed by other agencies as appropriate.
The sample is toxic when the response of the organisms exposed to the sample is significantly different (worse) than the response of the organisms exposed to the laboratory control based on statistical hypothesis testing. An exceedance is counted when the significant effect code is “Significant; Less Similarity,” which means that the sample result is significantly different than the control result, and the percent effect is greater than the evaluation threshold. The default evaluation threshold is 20% unless otherwise stated.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Three samples were collected in 2005 to evaluate water toxicity at two monitoring locations in Arroyo Mocho watershed. The toxicity tests included survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia, survival and growth of fathead minnow, and growth of Selenastrum. Ceriodaphnia growth was significantly lower than the control in one of three samples (dry season sample). Growth was 69.4 percent of the control for this sample.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community.
Water toxicity was evaluated according to the SWAMP methodology. The U.S.EPA whole effluent toxicity protocol (U.S.EPA 1994) was used to test the effect of water samples on three freshwater test organisms. Statistical evaluation (alpha = 0.05) and a default threshold of 80% of the control value were used to establish whether water exhibited significant toxicity adversely impacting aquatic organisms.

The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rehn, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition. Sites with scores below 0.79 are considered to have exceeded the water quality objective for the aquatic life beneficial use.Â

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Water Board staff assessed SWAMP RWB2 Monitoring data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and results are as follows: 5 of 7 samples exceeded the water quality threshold for Temperature.
Temperature objectives for surface waters are specified in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Plan. The following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: “- The natural receiving water temperature of inland surface waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. - The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.”
Per Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids (Carter 2008, Moyle 1976, and USEPA 1977), the lethal temperature evaluation guideline for both the steelhead adult migration and holding and the steelhead juvenile growth and rearing life stages is 24°C.
This pollutant is being considered for listing under sections 3.7.1 and 3.11 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.7.1, an acceptable nutrient-related evaluation guideline is exceeded using the binomial distribution as described in section 3.1 for excessive algae growth, unnatural foam, odor, and taste. Waters may also be placed on the section 303(d) list when a significant nuisance condition exists as compared to reference conditions, or when nutrient concentrations cause or contribute to excessive algae growth. Under section 3.11, water segments shall be evaluated to determine whether the weight of evidence demonstrates that a water quality standard is not attained. When making a listing decision based on the situation-specific weight of evidence, the Regional Water Board must justify its recommendation by: 1. Providing any data or information including current conditions supporting the decision; 2. Describing in fact sheets how the data or information affords a substantial basis in fact from which the decision can be reasonably inferred; 3. Demonstrating that the weight of evidence of the data and information indicate that the water quality standard is not attained; and 4. Demonstrating that the approach used is scientifically defensible and reproducible. Eighty-three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess these pollutants: (1) algae; (2) nitrogen; (3) nitrogen, nitrate; (4) total ammonia; (5) phosphorus; (6) chlorophyll-a (water column); (7) chlorophyll-a (benthic); (8) dissolved oxygen; and (9) pH. Based on the readily available data for this water body, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification available in favor of adding this water segment-pollutant combination to the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category. This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used were collected by SWAMP and SWAMP-comparable programs which satisfy the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. Sampling occurred at 20 sites between 2012-2019, so data are both spatially and temporally representative. Data were collected between April and August, so different stages of algal growth are represented in the dataset. 2. The evaluation of eutrophic conditions requires the weight of evidence approach because the evaluation process examining a stream’s trophic status requires measuring naturally occurring stream organisms (i.e., algae) and determining if the current amount of algae is affecting recreational beneficial uses or water quality parameters that influence aquatic life (e.g., pH and dissolved oxygen). Such an analysis requires the integration of secondary water quality indicators at sites with high algal biomass because the presence of algae alone does not demonstrate that aquatic impacts have occurred. For the lines of evidence regarding nutrients with direct toxic effects (e.g., un-ionized ammonia, total ammonia, and nitrate), Listing Policy Table 3.1 criteria for toxicants was used to determine if that aquatic life beneficial uses were affected by nutrient toxicity. 3. Nutrient-related evaluation guidelines for percent algae cover, total nitrogen, nitrate, and phosphorus were evaluated using the binomial distribution as described in section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Five of 13 algae sampled exceeded the evaluation guideline of 30% cover and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Four of 17 total nitrogen samples exceeded the evaluation guideline of 0.736 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Sixteen of 27 total phosphorus samples exceeded the evaluation guideline of 0.107 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy.
The conventional parameters chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and pH were evaluated against binomial distribution tables as described in section 3.2 of the Listing Policy Four of 11 chlorophyll-a (water column) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 40 ug/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Six of 14 chlorophyll-a (benthic) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 100 mg/m2 and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Eighty-three of 202 days exceeded the dissolved oxygen evaluation guideline of 13 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Nineteen of 51 pH samples exceeded the evaluation guideline of 8.5 pH units and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. In addition to the aforementioned LOEs, continuous monitoring data showed daily dissolved oxygen swings greater than 5 mg/L for 106 of 202 days monitored, which is indicative of eutrophic conditions. There was generally strong agreement between indicators, meaning that sites exceeding evaluation guidelines for nutrients tended to show signs of nuisance algae growth or adverse effects to beneficial uses. 4. This process is scientifically defensible and reproducible. Data used to make this decision were collected using standardized SWAMP protocols and evaluated against U.S. EPA criteria, Basin Plan Water Quality Objectives, and technical report recommendations, when possible. When formal numeric objectives were not available, numeric evaluation guidelines were established using a reference-site approach (i.e., sites that are unimpacted or minimally impacted by humans) which was adapted from the U.S. EPA Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual. Reference status for nutrient and bioassessment sampling sites throughout the San Francisco Bay region were determined according to the method described by Ode et al. (2015).
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.
State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:
The conventional parameters chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and pH were evaluated against binomial distribution tables as described in section 3.2 of the Listing Policy Four of 11 chlorophyll-a (water column) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 40 ug/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Six of 14 chlorophyll-a (benthic) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 100 mg/m2 and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Eighty-three of 202 days exceeded the dissolved oxygen evaluation guideline of 13 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy.

To estimate percent algae cover, SWAMP staff established a 50 m section that is representative of the stream reach. The 50 m section was divided into 5 m longitudinal transects and visually estimated the percent cover of filamentous green algae in 10% bins. The average of the ten transects was calculated to get an overall percent cover for each site. Sites were visited monthly to calculate changes across the dry season. To ensure consistency, the same field crew member conducted the estimates for the entire project.

Sixteen of 18 samples had total phosphorus concentrations above 0.107 mg/L, which represents the 90th percentile of phosphorus concentrations at reference sites (i.e., minimally impacted sites) in San Francisco Bay Region.
Chapter 3.3.3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin states "Waters shall not contain biostimulatory substances in concentrations that promote aquatic growths to the extent that such growths cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses. Changes in chlorophyll a and associated phytoplankton communities follow complex dynamics that are sometimes associated with a discharge of biostimulatory substances. Irregular and extreme levels of chlorophyll a or phytoplankton blooms may indicate exceedance of this objective and require investigation."
The 90th percentile of phosphorus concentrations in San Francisco Bay Region reference streams, 0.107 mg/L, was selected as the evaluation guideline, meaning ninety percent of reference sites will have concentrations at or below 0.107 mg/L for phosphorus. Currently, there are no numeric Water Quality Objectives or U.S. EPA criteria for algae-based indicators to determine if a water’s beneficial uses are impaired by eutrophication. The U.S. EPA Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual documents how reference reaches (i.e., reaches that are unimpacted or minimally impacted by humans) can be used to establish nutrient criteria. Reference status for nutrient and bioassessment sampling sites throughout the San Francisco Bay Region were determined according to the method described by Ode et al. (2015). Briefly, reference status was determined by land use and land-cover metrics that quantify natural characteristics and anthropogenic stressors at or upstream of sampling sites. For this study, sites excluded by the reference tool were added back to the reference pool if best professional judgement showed the tool misidentified a source of impact (e.g., flagged for agriculture when there is no agriculture in the watershed); the impacts were believed to be minimal (e.g., minimally used roads in a protected area); or it was part of a long-term reference study that was established before the reference screening tool was developed. Less than fifteen percent of reference sites (18 of 131 sites) were added back to the reference pool using best professional judgement.
The six sites samples on Arroyo Mocho were dispersed throughout the waterbody to represent the land use gradient (grazing/open space upstream and increasing urbanization downstream).
Temporal Representation:
Data were collected monthly from April-July 2019, which is representative of the algae growth period in the watershed. Arroyo Mocho typically dries after July and sampling is no longer possible.
Environmental Conditions:
Arroyo Mocho flows through the Livermore Valley and drains to Arroyo de la Laguna. Its major tributaries are Arroyo Las Positas and Tassajara Creek. The upper extent of Arroyo Mocho is non-perennial and includes cattle grazing and open space land uses. The downstream portion of Arroyo Mocho is a flood control channel which is fed primarily by Arroyo Las Positas during the dry season.
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (2017).

Regional Board Conclusion:
For the 2024 Integrated Report, USEPA disapproved 44 benthic community effects decisions that were placed in Category 3. The data and information demonstrated that the biological community is degraded, and the waterbody is listed on the 303(d) list with at least one pollutant impairment affecting an aquatic life beneficial use. This was an interim approach used to provide time to develop the methodology to associate the pollutant as a potential cause of the degraded biology. The USEPA reviewed the appropriateness of these category placements and indicated that the most appropriate classification for these 44 waterbody-pollutant combinations is Category 5. This decision was updated to reflect direction from USEPA.
Benthic Community Effects are being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under sections 3.9 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.9, additional lines of evidence (LOEs) associating the Benthic Community Effects decision with a water or sediment concentration of pollutants other than benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment or habitat assessment LOEs are necessary to place a water body on the 303(d) List for Benthic Community Effects.
Twenty-three line(s) of evidence evaluating benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment data is/are available in the administrative record to assess this indicator. Twenty-one of 23 benthic-macroinvertebrate samples exceed the California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) impairment threshold. Additionally, there are associated pollutant impairments on the waterbody (including but not necessarily limited to Toxicity, Temperature, and pH). Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification for placing Benthic Community Effects in this waterbody segment on the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that:
1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. 21 of 23 benthic-macroinvertebrate bioassessment samples had CSCI scores below 0.79. Therefore, this water body is exceeding the water quality threshold for the protection of the WARM and/or COLD beneficial use. 4. Pursuant to section 3.9 of the Listing Policy, the water segment has associated pollutant(s) samples that exceed water quality objectives. 5. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should not be placed on the section 303(d) list. The readily available data and information is insufficient to determine, with the power and confidence of the Listing Policy, the applicable beneficial use support rating.

State Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.

Temperature objectives for surface waters are specified in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Plan. The following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: “- The natural receiving water temperature of inland surface waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. - The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.”
Per Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids (Carter 2008, Moyle 1976, and USEPA 1977), the lethal temperature evaluation guideline for both the steelhead adult migration and holding and the steelhead juvenile growth and rearing life stages is 24°C.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at the Arroyo Mocho watershed as part of SWAMP assessment. Continuous field monitoring at 15 minute increments of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and specific conductance was conducted to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at five locations throughout the watershed.
The measured temperatures ranged from 6.1°C to 27.72 °C and varied with season and location. The 17 °C criterion tom sediments or aquatic life. Effects on aquatic organisms, wildlife, and human health will be considered.

The samples were collected at 1 monitoring site: 204AMO195 (Arroyo Mocho at mile marker 16.31).
Temporal Representation:
The samples were collected between the dates of 2018-05-14 and 2018-05-14
Environmental Conditions:
for steelhead was exceeded in 6 out of 12 deployments.
High water temperatures exceeding 24 °C, that is a maximum short exposure temperature for survival of salmonids (EPA 1977) were also measured at three monitoring locations at lower and upper reaches of the Creek during spring and summer seasons. At the monitoring site in the lower reach of the Arroyo Mocho Creek high temperature persisted for up to 5.75 hours during spring while at the middle and upper reach it lasted from 5 to more than 9 hours.
Temperature objectives for enclosed bays and estuaries are specified in the "Water Quality Control Plan for Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate Waters and Enclosed Bays of California" including any revisions to the plan. In addition, the following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: The natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Water Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses.
The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.
Sullivan et al. (2000) reviewed a wide range of studies incorporating information from laboratory-based research, field observations, and risk assessment approaches and developed criteria for assessing temperature risk to aquatic life. The 7-day mean temperature (maximum value of the 7-day moving average of the daily mean temperature) of 14.8°C was established as the upper threshold criterion for coho salmon and 17.0°C for steelhead trout. The risk assessment approach used by Sullivan et al. (2000) suggests that temperatures exceeding the above thresholds will cause 10% reduction in average fish growth compared to optimal conditions.
Temperature was measured at five sites located on the mainstem of Arroyo Mocho Creek. The highest temperatures were recorded at the monitoring location southeast of Livermore in August 2004. High temperatures also occurred in the lower reach of the Creek during the spring season of 2004.
Temporal Representation:
In 2004 and 2005 the SWAMP Program performed continuous monitoring of temperature at 15 minute intervals for periods of 1-2 weeks in each of three different seasons: winter (5 sites), spring (5 sites), and summer dry season (2 sites).

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
1 of the 2 samples collected by BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2014 for Arroyo Mocho exhibited toxicity. A sample may have multiple toxicity test results, but will only be counted once. A sample is defined as being collected on the same day and the same location. The following organisms and parameters were utilized for the toxicity tests: Ceriodaphnia dubia for Survival, Selenastrum capricornutum for Total Cell Count, Pimephales promelas for Survival, Pimephales promelas for Biomass (wt/orig indiv), Ceriodaphnia dubia for Young/female, Hyalella azteca for Survival. The following tests exhibited toxicity: Selenastrum capricornutum for Total Cell Count on 2014-07-23.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms. Detrimental responses include, but are not limited to, decreased growth rate and decreased reproductive success of resident or indicator species. There shall be no acute toxicity in ambient waters. Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. Attainment of this objective will be determined by analyses of indicator organisms, species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, or toxicity tests (including those described in Chapter 4), or other methods selected by the Water Board. The Water Board will also consider other relevant information and numeric criteria and guidelines for toxic substances developed by other agencies as appropriate.
The sample is toxic when the response of the organisms exposed to the sample is significantly different (worse) than the response of the organisms exposed to the laboratory control based on statistical hypothesis testing. An exceedance is counted when the significant effect code is “Significant; Less Similarity,” which means that the sample result is significantly different than the control result, and the percent effect is greater than the evaluation threshold. The default evaluation threshold is 20% unless otherwise stated.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Three samples were collected in 2005 to evaluate water toxicity at two monitoring locations in Arroyo Mocho watershed. The toxicity tests included survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia, survival and growth of fathead minnow, and growth of Selenastrum. Ceriodaphnia growth was significantly lower than the control in one of three samples (dry season sample). Growth was 69.4 percent of the control for this sample.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community.
Water toxicity was evaluated according to the SWAMP methodology. The U.S.EPA whole effluent toxicity protocol (U.S.EPA 1994) was used to test the effect of water samples on three freshwater test organisms. Statistical evaluation (alpha = 0.05) and a default threshold of 80% of the control value were used to establish whether water exhibited significant toxicity adversely impacting aquatic organisms.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
1 of the 2 samples collected by BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2012 for Arroyo Mocho exhibited toxicity. A sample may have multiple toxicity test results, but will only be counted once. A sample is defined as being collected on the same day and the same location. The following organisms and parameters were utilized for the toxicity tests: Pimephales promelas for Biomass (wt/orig indiv), Selenastrum capricornutum for Total Cell Count, Ceriodaphnia dubia for Young/female, Ceriodaphnia dubia for Survival, Pimephales promelas for Survival, Hyalella azteca for Survival. The following tests exhibited toxicity: Pimephales promelas for Survival on 2012-03-14.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms. Detrimental responses include, but are not limited to, decreased growth rate and decreased reproductive success of resident or indicator species. There shall be no acute toxicity in ambient waters. Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. Attainment of this objective will be determined by analyses of indicator organisms, species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, or toxicity tests (including those described in Chapter 4), or other methods selected by the Water Board. The Water Board will also consider other relevant information and numeric criteria and guidelines for toxic substances developed by other agencies as appropriate.
The sample is toxic when the response of the organisms exposed to the sample is significantly different (worse) than the response of the organisms exposed to the laboratory control based on statistical hypothesis testing. An exceedance is counted when the significant effect code is “Significant; Less Similarity,” which means that the sample result is significantly different than the control result, and the percent effect is greater than the evaluation threshold. The default evaluation threshold is 20% unless otherwise stated.

The California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) is a biological scoring tool that helps aquatic resource managers translate complex data about benthic macroinvertebrates found living in a stream into an overall measure of stream health. The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rehn, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition.

The California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) is a biological scoring tool that helps aquatic resource managers translate complex data about benthic macroinvertebrates found living in a stream into an overall measure of stream health. The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rehn, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition. Sites with scores below 0.79 are considered to have exceeded the water quality objective for the aquatic life beneficial use.Â

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Water Board staff assessed continuous dissolved oxygen data in WY2019 data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and the results are as follows: 83 of 202 days (41%) exceeded the dissolved oxygen evaluation guideline of 13 mg/L, which represents supersaturated oxygen conditions and can be indicative of excessive algal growth.
Chapter 3.3.3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin states "Waters shall not contain biostimulatory substances in concentrations that promote aquatic growths to the extent that such growths cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses. Changes in chlorophyll a and associated phytoplankton communities follow complex dynamics that are sometimes associated with a discharge of biostimulatory substances. Irregular and extreme levels of chlorophyll a or phytoplankton blooms may indicate exceedance of this objective and require investigation."
Worceter et al. (2010) recommends 13 mg/L dissolved oxygen as an appropriate upper value to screen both warm and cold water sites for oxygen supersaturation outside of reference ranges.
Data were collected from 3 station(s). Station Code(s): 204AMO100, 204AMO165, and 204AMO190
Temporal Representation:
Dissolved oxygen data was recorded every 15 minutes using YSI sondes in the spring-summer of 2019. Sondes were deployed until the sites dried: 24 days at 204AMO100; 72 days at 204AMO165, and 106 days at 204AMO190.
Environmental Conditions:
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (2017).

Water Board staff assessed data for 204AMO195 to determine beneficial use support and the results are as follows: 1 of 1 samples exceeded the threshold. CSCI scores were from 0.645766977 to 0.645766977.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce significant alterations in population or community ecology or receiving water biota. In addition, the health and life history characteristics of aquatic organisms in waters affected by controllable water quality factors shall not differ significantly from those for the same waters in areas unaffected by controllable water quality factors.
The California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) is a biological scoring tool that helps aquatic resource managers translate complex data about benthic macroinvertebrates found living in a stream into an overall measure of stream health. The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rehn, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition. Sites with scores below 0.79 are considered to have exceeded the water quality objective for the aquatic life beneficial use.Â

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Water Board staff assessed SWAMP RWB2 Monitoring data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and results are as follows: 5 of 7 samples exceeded the water quality threshold for Temperature.
Temperature objectives for surface waters are specified in the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Plan. The following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: “- The natural receiving water temperature of inland surface waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Board that such alteration in temperature does not adversely affect beneficial uses. - The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature.”
Per Effects of Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen/Total Dissolved Gas, Ammonia, and pH on Salmonids (Carter 2008, Moyle 1976, and USEPA 1977), the lethal temperature evaluation guideline for both the steelhead adult migration and holding and the steelhead juvenile growth and rearing life stages is 24°C.
This pollutant is being considered for listing under sections 3.7.1 and 3.11 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.7.1, an acceptable nutrient-related evaluation guideline is exceeded using the binomial distribution as described in section 3.1 for excessive algae growth, unnatural foam, odor, and taste. Waters may also be placed on the section 303(d) list when a significant nuisance condition exists as compared to reference conditions, or when nutrient concentrations cause or contribute to excessive algae growth. Under section 3.11, water segments shall be evaluated to determine whether the weight of evidence demonstrates that a water quality standard is not attained. When making a listing decision based on the situation-specific weight of evidence, the Regional Water Board must justify its recommendation by: 1. Providing any data or information including current conditions supporting the decision; 2. Describing in fact sheets how the data or information affords a substantial basis in fact from which the decision can be reasonably inferred; 3. Demonstrating that the weight of evidence of the data and information indicate that the water quality standard is not attained; and 4. Demonstrating that the approach used is scientifically defensible and reproducible. Eighty-three lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess these pollutants: (1) algae; (2) nitrogen; (3) nitrogen, nitrate; (4) total ammonia; (5) phosphorus; (6) chlorophyll-a (water column); (7) chlorophyll-a (benthic); (8) dissolved oxygen; and (9) pH. Based on the readily available data for this water body, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification available in favor of adding this water segment-pollutant combination to the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category. This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used were collected by SWAMP and SWAMP-comparable programs which satisfy the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. Sampling occurred at 20 sites between 2012-2019, so data are both spatially and temporally representative. Data were collected between April and August, so different stages of algal growth are represented in the dataset. 2. The evaluation of eutrophic conditions requires the weight of evidence approach because the evaluation process examining a stream’s trophic status requires measuring naturally occurring stream organisms (i.e., algae) and determining if the current amount of algae is affecting recreational beneficial uses or water quality parameters that influence aquatic life (e.g., pH and dissolved oxygen). Such an analysis requires the integration of secondary water quality indicators at sites with high algal biomass because the presence of algae alone does not demonstrate that aquatic impacts have occurred. For the lines of evidence regarding nutrients with direct toxic effects (e.g., un-ionized ammonia, total ammonia, and nitrate), Listing Policy Table 3.1 criteria for toxicants was used to determine if that aquatic life beneficial uses were affected by nutrient toxicity. 3. Nutrient-related evaluation guidelines for percent algae cover, total nitrogen, nitrate, and phosphorus were evaluated using the binomial distribution as described in section 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Five of 13 algae sampled exceeded the evaluation guideline of 30% cover and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Four of 17 total nitrogen samples exceeded the evaluation guideline of 0.736 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy. Sixteen of 27 total phosphorus samples exceeded the evaluation guideline of 0.107 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1 of the Listing Policy.
The conventional parameters chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and pH were evaluated against binomial distribution tables as described in section 3.2 of the Listing Policy Four of 11 chlorophyll-a (water column) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 40 ug/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Six of 14 chlorophyll-a (benthic) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 100 mg/m2 and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Eighty-three of 202 days exceeded the dissolved oxygen evaluation guideline of 13 mg/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Nineteen of 51 pH samples exceeded the evaluation guideline of 8.5 pH units and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. In addition to the aforementioned LOEs, continuous monitoring data showed daily dissolved oxygen swings greater than 5 mg/L for 106 of 202 days monitored, which is indicative of eutrophic conditions. There was generally strong agreement between indicators, meaning that sites exceeding evaluation guidelines for nutrients tended to show signs of nuisance algae growth or adverse effects to beneficial uses. 4. This process is scientifically defensible and reproducible. Data used to make this decision were collected using standardized SWAMP protocols and evaluated against U.S. EPA criteria, Basin Plan Water Quality Objectives, and technical report recommendations, when possible. When formal numeric objectives were not available, numeric evaluation guidelines were established using a reference-site approach (i.e., sites that are unimpacted or minimally impacted by humans) which was adapted from the U.S. EPA Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual. Reference status for nutrient and ber quality threshold for Ammonia as N.
The Total Ammonia criterion continuous concentration (expressed as a 30-day average) to protect aquatic life in freshwater is Temperature and pH dependent, and was calculated according to the formula listed in the Aquatic Life Ambient Water Quality Criteria for Ammonia - Freshwater 2013 document.

State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:
The conventional parameters chlorophyll, dissolved oxygen, and pH were evaluated against binomial distribution tables as described in section 3.2 of the Listing Policy Four of 11 chlorophyll-a (water column) samples exceed the evaluation guideline of 40 ug/L and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy.

Chapter 3.3.3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin states "Waters shall not contain biostimulatory substances in concentrations that promote aquatic growths to the extent that such growths cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses. Changes in chlorophyll a and associated phytoplankton communities follow complex dynamics that are sometimes associated with a discharge of biostimulatory substances. Irregular and extreme levels of chlorophyll a or phytoplankton blooms may indicate exceedance of this objective and require investigation."
Creager et al. (2006) recommends an evaluation guideline of 100 mg/m2 for benthic chlorophyll-a. This guideline represents the Beneficial Use Risk Classification I/II (BURC I/II) boundary, which is a threshold below which nutrients do not present a significant risk of impairment as described in the Technical Approach to Develop Nutrient Numeric Endpoints for California.

To estimate percent algae cover, SWAMP staff established a 50 m section that is representative of the stream reach. The 50 m section was divided into 5 m longitudinal transects and visually estimated the percent cover of filamentous green algae in 10% bins. The average of the ten transects was calculated to get an overall percent cover for each site. Sites were visited monthly to calculate changes across the dry season. To ensure consistency, the same field crew member conducted the estimates for the entire project.
Chapter 3.3.3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin states "Waters shall not contain biostimulatory substances in concentrations that promote aquatic growths to the extent that such growths cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses. Changes in chlorophyll a and associated phytoplankton communities follow complex dynamics that are sometimes associated with a discharge of biostimulatory substances. Irregular and extreme levels of chlorophyll a or phytoplankton blooms may indicate exceedance of this objective and require investigation."
Biggs (2000) recommends a 30 percent cover by filamentous green or brown algae as a threshold associated with benthic chlorophyll-a levels consistent with protection of recreation and fisheries

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Sixteen of 18 samples had total phosphorus concentrations above 0.107 mg/L, which represents the 90th percentile of phosphorus concentrations at reference sites (i.e., minimally impacted sites) in San Francisco Bay Region.
Chapter 3.3.3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin states "Waters shall not contain biostimulatory substances in concentrations that promote aquatic growths to the extent that such growths cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses. Changes in chlorophyll a and associated phytoplankton communities follow complex dynamics that are sometimes associated with a discharge of biostimulatory substances. Irregular and extreme levels of chlorophyll a or phytoplankton blooms may indicate exceedance of this objective and require investigation."
The 90th percentile of phosphorus concentrations in San Francisco Bay Region reference streams, 0.107 mg/L, was selected as the evaluation guideline, meaning ninety percent of reference sites will have concentrations at or below 0.107 mg/L for phosphorus. Currently, there are no numeric Water Quality Objectives or U.S. EPA criteria for algae-based indicators to determine if a water’s beneficial uses are impaired by eutrophication. The U.S. EPA Nutrient Criteria Technical Guidance Manual documents how reference reaches (i.e., reaches that are unimpacted or minimally impacted by humans) can be used to establish nutrient criteria. Reference status for nutrient and bioassessment sampling sites throughout the San Francisco Bay Region were determined according to the method described by Ode et al. (2015). Briefly, reference status was determined by land use and land-cover metrics that quantify natural characteristics and anthropogenic stressors at or upstream of sampling sites. For this study, sites excluded by the reference tool were added back to the reference pool if best professional judgement showed the tool misidentified a source of impact (e.g., flagged for agriculture when there is no agriculture in the watershed); the impacts were believed to be minimal (e.g., minimally used roads in a protected area); or it was part of a long-term reference study that was established before the reference screening tool was developed. Less than fifteen percent of reference sites (18 of 131 sites) were added back to the reference pool using best professional judgement.
The six sites samples on Arroyo Mocho were dispersed throughout the waterbody to represent the land use gradient (grazing/open space upstream and increasing urbanization downstream).
Temporal Representation:
Data were collected monthly from April-July 2019, which is representative of the algae growth period in the watershed. Arroyo Mocho typically dries after July and sampling is no longer possible.
Environmental Conditions:
Arroyo Mocho flows through the Livermore Valley and drains to Arroyo de la Laguna. Its major tributaries are Arroyo Las Positas and Tassajara Creek. The upper extent of Arroyo Mocho is non-perennial and includes cattle grazing and open space land uses. The downstream portion of Arroyo Mocho is a flood control channel which is fed primarily by Arroyo Las Positas during the dry season.
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (2017).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Arroyo Mocho Creek watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2004 and 2005. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The pH ranged from 7.0 to 9.2 and varied with season. The pH exceeded the maximum of 8.5 four times (9.2, 9.1, 8.8, 8.6) in all three (spring, summer, winter) seasons. The pH did not go below the minimum during any sampling event.
The pH shall not be depressed below 6.5 nor raised above 8.5. This encompasses the pH range usually found in waters within the basin. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause changes greater than 0.5 units in normal ambient pH levels.
pH was measured at two sites in summer 2004 and at five sites in spring 2004 and winter 2005 located within the Arroyo Mocho watershed that are representative of the entire watershed.
Temporal Representation:
At all locations the SWAMP performed continuous monitoring of pH at 15 minute intervals lasting 7-13 days during spring (April 2004), summer dry season (August 2004), and winter wet season (February 2005).

Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for listing under section 3.6 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.6 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
Ten lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. This water body experiences toxicity. Based on the readily available data for this water body, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification available in favor of adding this water segment-pollutant combination to the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data concerning current conditions and supporting the listing decision satisfy the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfy the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. Three out of seven water samples exhibited water toxicity. The number of samples with detected water toxicity exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.
State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:
State Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
0 of the 1 samples collected by BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2012 for Arroyo Mocho exhibited toxicity. A sample may have multiple toxicity test results, but will only be counted once. A sample is defined as being collected on the same day and the same location. The following organisms and parameters were utilized for the toxicity tests: Hyalella azteca for Survival, Hyalella azteca for Growth (wt/surv indiv).
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms. Detrimental responses include, but are not limited to, decreased growth rate and decreased reproductive success of resident or indicator species. There shall be no acute toxicity in ambient waters. Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. Attainment of this objective will be determined by analyses of indicator organisms, species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, or toxicity tests (including those described in Chapter 4), or other methods selected by the Water Board. The Water Board will also consider other relevant information and numeric criteria and guidelines for toxic substances developed by other agencies as appropriate.
The sample is toxic when the response of the organisms exposed to the sample is significantly different (worse) than the response of the organisms exposed to the laboratory control based on statistical hypothesis testing. An exceedance is counted when the significant effect code is “Significant; Less Similarity,” which means that the sample result is significantly different than the control result, and the percent effect is greater than the evaluation threshold. The default evaluation threshold is 20% unless otherwise stated.

Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. Attainment of this objective will be determined by analyses of indicator organisms, species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, or toxicity tests (including those described in Chapter 4), or other methods selected by the Water Board. The Water Board will also consider other relevant information and numeric criteria and guidelines for toxic substances developed by other agencies as appropriate.
The sample is toxic when the response of the organisms exposed to the sample is significantly different (worse) than the response of the organisms exposed to the laboratory control based on statistical hypothesis testing. An exceedance is counted when the significant effect code is “Significant; Less Similarity,” which means that the sample result is significantly different than the control result, and the percent effect is greater than the evaluation threshold. The default evaluation threshold is 20% unless otherwise stated.

Three samples were collected in 2005 to evaluate water toxicity at two monitoring locations in Arroyo Mocho watershed. The toxicity tests included survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia, survival and growth of fathead minnow, and growth of Selenastrum. Ceriodaphnia growth was significantly lower than the control in one of three samples (dry season sample). Growth was 69.4 percent of the control for this sample.

There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community.
Water toxicity was evaluated according to the SWAMP methodology. The U.S.EPA whole effluent toxicity protocol (U.S.EPA 1994) was used to test the effect of water samples on three freshwater test organisms. Statistical evaluation (alpha = 0.05) and a default threshold of 80% of the control value were used to establish whether water exhibited significant toxicity adversely impacting aquatic organisms.

Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
One line of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Twenty-three of the sixty-three samples exceed the Basin Plan objective.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. Twenty-three of the sixty-three samples exceed the Basin Plan objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.
State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:
State Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.
Listing Extent:
Elevated pH in Arroyo Mocho is likely due to nuisance algae growth. See listing decision for eutrophication (decision ID 154554).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Water Board staff assessed continuous dissolved oxygen data in WY2019 data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and the results are as follows: 83 of 202 days (41%) exceeded the dissolved oxygen evaluation guideline of 13 mg/L, which represents supersaturated oxygen conditions and can be indicative of excessive algal growth.
Chapter 3.3.3 of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay Basin states "Waters shall not contain biostimulatory substances in concentrations that promote aquatic growths to the extent that such growths cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses. Changes in chlorophyll a and associated phytoplankton communities follow complex dynamics that are sometimes associated with a discharge of biostimulatory substances. Irregular and extreme levels of chlorophyll a or phytoplankton blooms may indicate exceedance of this objective and require investigation."
Worceter et al. (2010) recommends 13 mg/L dissolved oxygen as an appropriate upper value to screen both warm and cold water sites for oxygen supersaturation outside of reference ranges.
Data were collected from 3 station(s). Station Code(s): 204AMO100, 204AMO165, and 204AMO190
Temporal Representation:
Dissolved oxygen data was recorded every 15 minutes using YSI sondes in the spring-summer of 2019. Sondes were deployed until the sites dried: 24 days at 204AMO100; 72 days at 204AMO165, and 106 days at 204AMO190.

QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (2017).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Water Board staff assessed BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2012 data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and results are as follows: 0 of 1 samples exceeded the water quality threshold for pH.
Water Quality Control Plan, San Francisco Bay Basin, Chapter III Water Quality Objectives, Section 3.3.9 pH states: The pH shall not be depressed below 6.5 nor raised above 8.5. This encompasses the pH range usually found in waters within the basin. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause changes greater than 0.5 units in normal ambient pH levels.
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Arroyo Mocho Creek watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2004 and 2005. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The pH ranged from 7.0 to 9.2 and varied with season. The pH exceeded the maximum of 8.5 four times (9.2, 9.1, 8.8, 8.6) in all three (spring, summer, winter) seasons. The pH did not go below the minimum during any sampling event.
The pH shall not be depressed below 6.5 nor raised above 8.5. This encompasses the pH range usually found in waters within the basin. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause changes greater than 0.5 units in normal ambient pH levels.
pH was measured at two sites in summer 2004 and at five sites in spring 2004 and winter 2005 located within the Arroyo Mocho watershed that are representative of the entire watershed.
Temporal Representation:
At all locations the SWAMP performed continuous monitoring of pH at 15 minute intervals lasting 7-13 days during spring (April 2004), summer dry season (August 2004), and winter wet season (February 2005).

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Arroyo Mocho Creek watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2004 and 2005. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The pH ranged from 7.0 to 9.2 and varied with season. The pH exceeded the maximum of 8.5 four times (9.2, 9.1, 8.8, 8.6) in all three (spring, summer, winter) seasons. The pH did not go below the minimum during any sampling event.
The pH shall not be depressed below 6.5 nor raised above 8.5. This encompasses the pH range usually found in waters within the basin. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause changes greater than 0.5 units in normal ambient pH levels.
pH was measured at two sites in summer 2004 and at five sites in spring 2004 and winter 2005 located within the Arroyo Mocho watershed that are representative of the entire watershed.
Temporal Representation:
At all locations the SWAMP performed continuous monitoring of pH at 15 minute intervals lasting 7-13 days during spring (April 2004), summer dry season (August 2004), and winter wet season (February 2005).
Environmental Conditions:
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (SWRCB 2002).

Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for listing under section 3.6 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.6 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
Ten lines of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. This water body experiences toxicity. Based on the readily available data for this water body, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification available in favor of adding this water segment-pollutant combination to the section 303(d) list in the Water Quality Limited Segments category.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data concerning current conditions and supporting the listing decision satisfy the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfy the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. Three out of seven water samples exhibited water toxicity. The number of samples with detected water toxicity exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.1. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.

TOXICITY TESTING
Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
0 of the 1 samples collected by BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2012 for Arroyo Mocho exhibited toxicity. A sample may have multiple toxicity test results, but will only be counted once. A sample is defined as being collected on the same day and the same location. The following organisms and parameters were utilized for the toxicity tests: Hyalella azteca for Survival, Hyalella azteca for Growth (wt/surv indiv).
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms. Detrimental responses include, but are not limited to, decreased growth rate and decreased reproductive success of resident or indicator species. There shall be no acute toxicity in ambient waters. Acute toxicity is defined as a median of less than 90 percent survival, or less than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of the time, of test organisms in a 96-hour static or continuous flow test. There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community.

Data Used to Assess Water Quality:
Three samples were collected in 2005 to evaluate water toxicity at two monitoring locations in Arroyo Mocho watershed. The toxicity tests included survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia, survival and growth of fathead minnow, and growth of Selenastrum. Ceriodaphnia growth was significantly lower than the control in one of three samples (dry season sample). Growth was 69.4 percent of the control for this sample.
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community.
Water toxicity was evaluated according to the SWAMP methodology. The U.S.EPA whole effluent toxicity protocol (U.S.EPA 1994) was used to test the effect of water samples on three freshwater test organisms. Statistical evaluation (alpha = 0.05) and a default threshold of 80% of the control value were used to establish whether water exhibited significant toxicity adversely impacting aquatic organisms.

Regional Board Conclusion:
This pollutant is being considered for placement on the CWA section 303(d) List under section 3.2 of the Listing Policy. Under section 3.2 a single line of evidence is necessary to assess listing status.
One line of evidence are available in the administrative record to assess this pollutant. Twenty-three of the sixty-three samples exceed the Basin Plan objective.
Based on the readily available data and information, the weight of evidence indicates that there is sufficient justification in favor of placing this water segment-pollutant combination on the CWA section 303(d) List.
This conclusion is based on the staff findings that: 1. The data used satisfies the data quality requirements of section 6.1.4 of the Policy. 2. The data used satisfies the data quantity requirements of section 6.1.5 of the Policy. 3. Twenty-three of the sixty-three samples exceed the Basin Plan objective and this exceeds the allowable frequency listed in Table 3.2 of the Listing Policy. 4. Pursuant to section 3.11 of the Listing Policy, no additional data and information are available indicating that standards are not met.
Regional Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of the available data and information, RWQCB staff concludes that the water body-pollutant combination should be placed on the section 303(d) list because applicable water quality standards are exceeded and a pollutant contributes to or causes the problem.
State Board Review of Regional Board Conclusion and Recommendation:
State Board Decision Recommendation:
After review of this Regional Board decision, SWRCB staff recommend the decision be approved by the State Board.
Listing Extent:
Elevated pH in Arroyo Mocho is likely due to nuisance algae growth. See listing decision for eutrophication (decision ID 154554).

Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at one or two locations. The pH ranged from 7.0 to 9.2 and varied with season. The pH exceeded the maximum of 8.5 four times (9.2, 9.1, 8.8, 8.6) in all three (spring, summer, winter) seasons. The pH did not go below the minimum during any sampling event.
The pH shall not be depressed below 6.5 nor raised above 8.5. This encompasses the pH range usually found in waters within the basin. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause changes greater than 0.5 units in normal ambient pH levels.
pH was measured at two sites in summer 2004 and at five sites in spring 2004 and winter 2005 located within the Arroyo Mocho watershed that are representative of the entire watershed.
Temporal Representation:
At all locations the SWAMP performed continuous monitoring of pH at 15 minute intervals lasting 7-13 days during spring (April 2004), summer dry season (August 2004), and winter wet season (February 2005).
Environmental Conditions:
QAPP Information:
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (SWRCB 2002).
Water Board staff assessed BASMAA RMC Monitoring in WY2015 data for Arroyo Mocho to determine beneficial use support and results are as follows: 0 of 1 samples exceeded the water quality threshold for pH.
Water Quality Control Plan, San Francisco Bay Basin, Chapter III Water Quality Objectives, Section 3.3.9 pH states: The pH shall not be depressed below 6.5 nor raised above 8.5. This encompasses the pH range usually found in waters within the basin. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause changes greater than 0.5 units in normal ambient pH levels.
