Receiving water

Reported by the facility Evidence: facility-reported: Los Angeles River
Discharges directly / indirectly: N / — (as answered in the permit application)

Evidence: not confirmed Evidence: candidate, awaiting review Awaiting review

Receiving-water text as reported by the discharger in SMARTS; no waterbody identification has been confirmed.

Why it is not confirmed (1)

C1 name is only a prefix of official names

7 official waterbodies share this name; none is assigned without review.

Impaired waters and TMDLs

Two kinds of information, kept apart: 2026 Integrated Report waterbodies near the reported location (geographic proximity only), and TMDL records that SMARTS lists for this facility. Neither establishes where the facility discharges; see Receiving water for the facility's own statement.

Nearby waterbodies Evidence: geographic proximity

Spatial proximity only; discharge pathway not established. Being near a waterbody does not mean the facility discharges to it.

No 2026 Integrated Report waterbody lies within the proximity threshold of the reported location.

SMARTS TMDL records Evidence: SMARTS-reported

SMARTS TMDL record as reported for this facility; it is not a determination that the TMDL applies to the facility.

Compliance and enforcement records Evidence: SMARTS record

These are records as the State Water Board publishes them in SMARTS, with the source's own types and statuses. They are not a compliance determination or rating. A record listed here is not proof of a violation beyond what the source states, and the absence of records does not establish compliance.

Compliance and enforcement records by type
Record type	Records	As published	Dates	Retrieved	List
Violations	8	7 Violation · 1 Potential (preliminary) · 0 Dismissed	Jul 02, 2004 – Jul 22, 2026	Oct 21, 2026	All violations
Enforcement actions	7	7 issued · 0 draft · 0 withdrawn, rescinded or superseded	Sep 10, 2004 – Jul 22, 2026	Oct 21, 2026	All actions

Water-quality-based corrective action reports	2	reports, by parameter	2025-26 – 2025-26	Oct 21, 2026	All reports

Each record type is counted by its own SMARTS identifier. A violation and the enforcement action that cites it are two records in two lists; they are never added together.

How to read the evidence labels

Evidence: SMARTS record Evidence: facility-reported Information as published in SMARTS or reported by the discharger.
Evidence: identification corroborated The reported receiving-water name identifies one official waterbody and the facility's location is consistent with it. It does not establish a discharge pathway.
Evidence: candidate, awaiting review Evidence: not confirmed The reported name could match one or more official waterbodies, but no identification has been confirmed; nothing is assigned without review.
Evidence: spatial Evidence: geographic proximity Derived from the reported location only.
Evidence: SMARTS-reported Source records whose links to official references are not yet reviewed.
Evidence: unavailable The information could not be loaded or is not in the sources.

Records are shown as published and are not compliance determinations. How geographic context is derived.
