Document Description
Morro Bay is listed as an "impaired waterbody" under the Federal Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). The Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board has prepared a Morro Bay Total Maximum Daily Load for Pathogens for Morro Bay including Chorro and Los Osos Creeks to determine the assimilative capacity of the water bodies and to allocate federal coliform concentrations so that beneficial uses are protected and water quality objectives met. The Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) includes a Technicial Support Document that describes pathogenic impacts to beneficial uses in these waterbodies, evaluates sources of pathogens, establishes numeric targets, and calculates total loads (concentrations) that would protect beneficial uses. It also includes an implementation plan and monitoring plan. Together, these comprise the "project" in this finding.
