Published by the State Water Resources Control Board (2026 California Integrated Report, Appendix A). Listing status is taken from Appendix A only. State Board adoption 2026-02-03; USEPA approval not confirmed. A listing describes the waterbody, not this facility. Waterbody profile.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Forester Creek CAR9071300020010924120240 | 742 m | listed | 9 |
Waterbodies within 1.0 km of the reported facility location. Method proximity/1.
SMARTS TMDL records Evidence: SMARTS-reported
No TMDL records for this facility in the SMARTS TMDL export.

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| Enforcement actions | 0 | 0 issued · 0 draft · 0 withdrawn, rescinded or superseded | — | Oct 21, 2026 | |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.
