Document Description
The Morro Bay Estuary, and the two creeks that feed the bay, Los Osos and Chorro Creek, are listed as "impaired waters" under the Federal Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). The Centrral Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (CCRWQCB) has prepared a Siltation Total maximum Daily Load for Chorro Creek, Los Osos Creek and the Morro Bay Estuary to determine the assimilative capacity, thus ensuring beneficial uses are protected and water quality objectives met. The Total Maximum Daily Load includes a technical report that desribes sediment impacts to Beneficial Uses in these waterbodies, evaluates sources of sediment, established numeric targets, and calculated total loads that would protect Beneficial Uses. It also includes an Implementation Plan and a Monitoring Plan. Together, these comprise the "project" in this finding.
