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

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.

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.

AluminumMonitoringAbove NAL303(d) impairmentEel River HU, Lower Eel River HA (includes the Eel River Delta)

3 reporting years above the annual NAL, most recently RY 2020 · 1 303(d) listing · association: derived nearby in watershed (high 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.

Enforcement

Enforcement records

Enforcement actions as recorded by the State Water Board for this permit, in the source system's own terminology.

Source record — SMARTS enforcement data

Structured enforcement records are not yet connected for this site. The absence of a record is not a finding about this facility.

Reporting

Reporting and ERA records

Years are YDOS-derived from attachment metadata. A gap means no annual-report document was identified for that year in the attachment index — it is not a finding that a report was not filed.
