Derivedapplies only to the 303(d) waterbody link and the parameter vocabulary match.

Limit values, limit periods, parameters, TMDL names and receiving-water names are reproduced exactly as stated by the Water Board in SMARTS. California Stormwater Intelligence does not compare reported monitoring results to these limits and makes no exceedance, violation or compliance determination. Where a stated receiving-water name is linked to a 2026 303(d) waterbody, that link is a derived exact-name match, not a Water Board determination.

ZincMonitoringAbove NAL303(d) impairmentCoyote Creek, North Fork

5 reporting years above the annual NAL, most recently RY 2024 · 1 303(d) listing · 1 stated TMDL requirement · association: derived receiving water (medium confidence)

Overlap is informational co-occurrence between a derived NAL comparison and an official 303(d) listing. It is not evidence that this facility caused or contributed to the impairment.

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.
