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

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.

ZincMonitoringAbove NAL303(d) impairmentSan Leandro Bay (part of SF Bay, Lower)

1 reporting year above the annual NAL, most recently RY 2020 · 1 303(d) listing · association: derived watershed association (low 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.
