Proposed Water Quality Control Policy to Support the Development of Site-Specific Water Quality Objectives for Copper and Zinc in Fresh Waterbodies of Californi

Proposed Water Quality Control Policy to Support the Development of Site-Specific Water Quality Objectives for Copper and Zinc in Fresh Waterbodies of Californi

Development of a water quality control policy that describes the protocols and procedures to support the development of site-specific water quality objectives for copper and zinc, applicable to all fresh waterbodies of California. Once adopted Regional Water Boards, permittees, and stakeholders would be required to apply the methodology when developing site-specific objectives for copper and zinc. This project would not in and of itself establish new site-specific objectives. Project objectives include: - Ensure that new site-specific objectives for copper and zinc are based on recent scientific understanding of metals bioavailability. - Provide the means to incorporate bioavailability-based objectives into decision making processes for the purposes of assessing water quality and beneficial use protection for copper and zinc. - Ensure consistent protocols and procedures are applied by regional boards to support the development of site-specific objectives that are protective of aquatic life and related beneficial uses. - Provide a consistent approach for regional boards to implement the revised site-specific objectives within permits and to calculate Total Maximum Daily Load waste load allocations and load allocations.
