SJR Watershed
• 13,500 square mile drainage area• 3 Major east-side tributaries• 5 Minor west-side tributaries• Extensive agricultural land use

303(d) Listing
• 1994 Listing under Section 303d Clean Water Act
• 130 miles from Mendota Dam to Airport Way Bridge near Vernalis
• Aquatic invertebrate toxicity– Aquatic invertebrates are base of food web– Aquatic life beneficial use not supported
• High OP concentrations year round– Dormant Season (December through February)– Irrigation Season (March through September)
![Page 13: Proposed Basin Plan Amendment for Control of Discharge of ... · 7 Questions? 8 Background Diane Beaulaurier. 9 Background • Project area ... 2. conditional prohibition of discharge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081407/5f249d93d530956f5d22deaf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Legal Requirements• Federal Clean Water Act requires TMDLs for
impaired waters [303(d) listed]• State Water Quality Act (Porter-Cologne)
requires implementation program for TMDLs; implementation program is contained in the Basin Plan Amendment
• OP Pesticide TMDL will meet these legal obligations, and is designed to restore aquatic life beneficial use

U. S. EPA / CDPR Regulatory Actions
• U.S.EPA and DPR have primary regulatory authority of pesticides
• U.S.EPA re-registrations for all OPs• DPR developing dormant spray
regulations• DPR label changes for diazinon in place
(CA)• DPR re-evaluation of diazinon and
chlorpyrifos initiated

Sources of Diazinon and Chlorpyrifos
• Stormwater runoff (dormant season)• Irrigation runoff (irrigation season)• Both agricultural and urban sources;
agriculture is major source; use has been decreasing
• Most urban uses ended effective 12/31/2004 (USEPA re-registrations)

toxicity– Must meet existing additivity formula
for pesticides with same toxicity mechanism (e.g. cholinesterase inhibition for OP pesticides)

Beneficial Use Recommendation
• Recommendation – No Change
• Aquatic Life use is most sensitive to OP pesticides
![Page 52: Proposed Basin Plan Amendment for Control of Discharge of ... · 7 Questions? 8 Background Diane Beaulaurier. 9 Background • Project area ... 2. conditional prohibition of discharge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081407/5f249d93d530956f5d22deaf/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
Recommended Water Quality Objectives for Diazinon
• No new water quality objective at this time• Propose new water quality targets (TMDL only)
– For diazinon alone:Acute = 0.100 µg/L (Scholz 2000)
– For diazinon in combination with chlorpyrifos:Acute = 0.16 µg/L; Chronic = 0.10 µg /L
(recalculated CDFG criteria)• Future development of WQOs

• Acute = 0.025 ug/L• Chronic = 0.014 µg/L
Note: Acute criterion recalculated to two significant figures per US EPA methodology (1985)

Review Water Quality Standards Recommendations
• Aquatic life beneficial use is most sensitive for OP pesticides
• Establish water quality targets for diazinon
• Establish water quality objectives for chlorpyrifos
• Meet existing additive toxicity formula

Recommended Implementation Alternative
• Two Conditional Prohibitions of Discharge– Dormant season (Dec - Feb)
If objectives or loads exceeded in previous year
– Irrigation season (March – Sept)If objectives or loads exceeded in previous year
Backstop for waiver or WDRs
![Page 61: Proposed Basin Plan Amendment for Control of Discharge of ... · 7 Questions? 8 Background Diane Beaulaurier. 9 Background • Project area ... 2. conditional prohibition of discharge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081407/5f249d93d530956f5d22deaf/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
61
How would TMDL interface with Ag Waiver?
• Ag waiver expires December 2005• Ag Waiver could be renewed or new waiver
could be developed.• TMDL will assure that either
1. any applicable waiver or WDR will implement WQOs and load allocations, or
2. conditional prohibition of discharge will take effect

Management Plans
• Dischargers to submit management plans
• Plan will describe actions taken to reduce OP runoff and meet allocations
• Plan may include actions required by state and federal pesticide regulations
• Document link between actions and expected reductions

65
Management Plans
• Individual dischargers, discharger groups or coalitions could submit plans
• Plan must comply with any applicable WDRs or Waiver
• Regional Board will review and may require revisions

67
Surveillance and Monitoring
• Program Goals– Compliance with Objectives– Compliance with Load Allocations– Effectiveness of Management
Practices– Avoid toxicity from alternative
pesticides
![Page 68: Proposed Basin Plan Amendment for Control of Discharge of ... · 7 Questions? 8 Background Diane Beaulaurier. 9 Background • Project area ... 2. conditional prohibition of discharge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081407/5f249d93d530956f5d22deaf/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
68
Time Schedule for Compliance
• Time schedules will be needed for:– Compliance with objectives and
allocations– Dormant season prohibition – Irrigation season prohibition– Submission of Management Plans– Monitoring
![Page 69: Proposed Basin Plan Amendment for Control of Discharge of ... · 7 Questions? 8 Background Diane Beaulaurier. 9 Background • Project area ... 2. conditional prohibition of discharge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081407/5f249d93d530956f5d22deaf/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)

Economic Analysis
• NPS Discharger Costs– Dormant season practices– Irrigation season practices– Monitoring, planning, evaluation
• NPDES Permittee Costs– Not anticipated due to elimination of urban
uses– Costs if alternatives cause toxicity

Economic Analysis
• Potential sources of financing– Government grants, loans or
appropriations– Surcharge on water– Ad Valorem tax– Fees by drainage management
district– Private financing

Review Program of Implementation
Recommendations• Load limits and control actions• Allocation of loads for point and nonpoint
sources • Two Conditional Prohibitions of Discharge
– Dormant season (December – February)– Irrigation season (March – September)
• Backstop for waiver or WDRs

The Big Ideas:
• Diazinon and chlorpyrifos impair 130 miles of SJR
• Sources are primarily agricultural• Need to avoid causing new impairments• Solutions are available (e.g., Integrated
Pest Management (IPM), management practices, grant funds)
![Page 75: Proposed Basin Plan Amendment for Control of Discharge of ... · 7 Questions? 8 Background Diane Beaulaurier. 9 Background • Project area ... 2. conditional prohibition of discharge](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081407/5f249d93d530956f5d22deaf/html5/thumbnails/75.jpg)
75
The Big Ideas:• No change to WQOs for diazinon at this
time; use best available information to interpret narrative objective
• Propose CDFG chlorpyrifos criteria as WQOs
• Existing formula for additive toxicity• Conditional prohibitions if objectives or
loads not met, and if not already regulated by waiver or WDRs
