Fact sheet

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 (2)

Numeric effluent limits and action levels stated by the Water Board for this permit, with the receiving water named in the TMDL.

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.

YDOS-derived overlap

Pollutant overlap with impaired receiving waters

Parameters where this facility has an NAL exceedance in at least one reporting year and the geographically associated waterbody carries a 303(d) listing for the same pollutant.

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.
