Receiving water
- Reported by the facility Evidence: facility-reported
- San Pedro Bay Near/Off Shore Zones
- Discharges directly / indirectly
- Y / N (as answered in the permit application)
Evidence: not confirmed Evidence: candidate, awaiting review Awaiting review

- C4 candidate more than 5 km away
1 official waterbody shares 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.
| Waterbody (2026 Integrated Report) | Distance | 2026 303(d) list | Appendix A decisions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spring Street Channel CAR4051500020210715071088 | 398 m | listed | 3 |
Waterbodies within 1.0 km of the reported facility location. Method proximity/1.
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.
| TMDL | Waterbody (as reported) | Parameter | Limit | Type | Period | Due | Discharges to TMDL water |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Los Cerritos Channel TMDL | Los Cerritos Channel | Copper, Total | .0098 mg/L | NEL instantaneous | FINAL | 2020-07-01 | Y |
1 record. Links between these records and specific TMDL projects or listed waterbodies have not been reviewed and are not shown.

Results are shown exactly as reported by the discharger. Identical rows repeated in the State's export are shown once. Where the export contains different versions of the same sample and parameter, each version is listed and flagged. Details.
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.
| Record type | Records | As published | Dates | Retrieved | List |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Violations | 0 | 0 Violation · 0 Potential (preliminary) · 0 Dismissed | — | Oct 21, 2026 | |
| Enforcement actions | 0 | 0 issued · 0 draft · 0 withdrawn, rescinded or superseded | — | Oct 21, 2026 | |

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.
