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

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

Monitoring rows are official self-reported SMARTS submissions, joined to this facility by WDID. California Stormwater Intelligence does not restate, correct, average or evaluate reported values, and no benchmark comparison or violation determination is made.
YDOS-derived
Reported SMARTS analytical results compared against the Numeric Action Levels of the Industrial General Permit version in effect for each reporting year (July 1 – June 30).

YDOS-derived overlap
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) impairmentSan Lorenzo River
2 reporting years above the annual NAL, most recently RY 2018 · 1 303(d) listing · association: derived nearby in watershed (high confidence)
pHMonitoringAbove NAL303(d) impairmentNewell Creek (Lower)
1 reporting year above the instantaneous maximum NAL, most recently RY 2015 · 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.
