Aluminum · most recent exceedance RY 2021 · association: derived watershed association

This is derived co-occurrence between a calculated NAL comparison and the official 303(d) listing for this waterbody. An NAL exceedance triggers Exceedance Response Actions under the permit; it is not a violation and does not establish that any facility caused or contributed to this impairment.

Derived facility associations

Industrial stormwater facilities geographically associated with this waterbody. These are derived spatial associations, not Water Board findings.

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.
