Associations are calculated from official facility coordinates, USGS HUC12 boundaries, and official 2026 impaired-water geometry. They do not establish a discharge connection or causation.

TMDL requirements

Water Board-stated TMDL waste load allocations applied to this industrial permit in SMARTS.

Official record — SMARTS TMDL dataset, State Water Board

No SMARTS TMDL requirement is recorded for this WDID. In the statewide TMDL export only permits in Regions 4, 8 and 9 currently carry industrial TMDL requirements, so an absence here is not a statement that the facility discharges to an unimpaired water.

Official monitoring

SMARTS monitoring

Self-reported industrial stormwater sampling results as submitted by the discharger to SMARTS.

An NAL exceedance is a permit-defined condition that triggers Exceedance Response Actions under the Industrial General Permit. It is not a violation, an enforcement action, or a Water Board compliance determination. Annual values use the arithmetic average of eligible results with non-detects treated as zero; instantaneous maximum NALs (total suspended solids, oil and grease, pH) are exceeded when two or more eligible results in a reporting year fall outside the level.
