Document Description
The San Lorenzo River, and three of its tributaries, Carbonera Creek, Lompico Creek and Shingle Mill Creek, are listed as "impaired waters" under the Federal Clean Water Act, Section 303(d). The Central Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (CCRWQCB) has prepared a Sediment Total Maximum Daily Load for the San Lorenzo River, Carbonera Creek, Lompico Creek, and Shingle Mill Creek to determine the assimilative capacity of the water bodies and to allocate sediment discharges so that they do not exceed this capacity, thus ensuring beneficial uses are protected and water quality objectives met. The Total Maximum Daily Load includes a technical report that describes sediment impacts to Beneficial Uses in these water bodies, evaluates sources of sediment, establishes numeric targets, and calculates total loads that would protect Beneficial Uses. It also includes an Impelementation Plan and Monitoring Plan. Together, these comprise the "project" in this finding.
