Facility records are official Industrial General Permit registrations, but the association between a facility and this waterbody is derived geographically (proximity or shared HUC12 subwatershed) and is not a Water Board receiving-water determination. Where a permit carries a Water Board-stated TMDL requirement naming this water, it is listed separately above.
