Document Description
The project is composed of a Basin Plan amendment to establish a TMDL and an implementation plan to attain water quality standards for PCBs in all segments of San Francisco Bay. The Regional Water Board is obligated under Section 303(d) of the federal Clean Water Act to develop a TMDL for San Francisco Bay to address its impairment by PCBs. The Basin Plan amendment includes: (a) a numeric target for PCBs concentrations in fish tissue; (b) a total maximum daily load for pcbs in San Francisco Bay; (c) load allocations for source categories and wasteload allocations for individual municipal wastewater dischargers of the total maximum daily PCB load; (d) a plan to implement the TMDL that includes actions to reduce PCB loads to achieve load allocations in San Francisco Bay; (e) further studies to obtain critical data needed to assess progress toward attainment of the fish tissue target; and (f) a monitoring program to evaluate progress in meeting the numeric targets.
