Keri Cole.garyg@water.ca.gov5/4/01 1:36PMMonitoring Data

Hi GaryLinda Pardy, in our office, recently forwarded me some monitoring data for the Santa Margarita River, SanDiego River and Escondido Creek (see attached file). I have been unsuccessful in determining the datesof the sampling. Can you help me out? I am also interested in finding out exactly where the samplingstations are. Can you provide this to me? Do you have a map of the sampling locations? What is thefrequency of this data? What purposes is it used for on your end?

The reason I am asking all of this is because we are currently soliciting for additional information and datathat may support updates to our 303d list of impaired waterbodies in the region (see attachedcorrespondence). I would be interested in looking at this monitoring data from July 1997 if it is available?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

ORDER NO~ 97-63,WAS~E DISCHARGE REQUIREMENTS

FOR THETi. S. NAVY

PROJECT P-338s; PIER 3 DREDGINGSAN DIEGO COuNTY

The California Regional Water QUality Control Board, San DiegoRegion (hereinafter Regional Board), finds that:

1, The Department of the Navy (hereinafter discharger),Southwest Division, Naval racilities Engineering Command(Navy), sUbmitted an incomplete report 6f waste discharge(RWD) btl August 6, 1997 for Project P-338sj the dredging and.disposai of approximately 160;000 cubic yards (cy) ofdredged spoiis from Pier 3 located at Navai Station in SanDiego Bay to a depth of -31 feet below mean lower low water(MLLW), with a 2-foot overdredge allowance. The NavyreviSed the RWD on November 18, 1997 completing theapplication for waste discharge requirements.

2. The discharger reports that Project P-338s will be dividedinto two phases. The first phase consists of dredging thetop layer of sediment which i~ approximateiy 110,000 cyanddisposing the material upland. During the first phase,. siltcurtaihs comprised of a geotextile fabric Buppottedby afloatation boom will be placed around the dredging area tominimize turhidity. The second phase consists of dredgingthe bottom layer which is apt'rdximately so,ooo cy anddisposing the material either Upland or at the LA-S oceandisp'6~*1. ~ite, '.i

4. The discharger proposes that dredged materials for uplanddisposal will be transported to a confined disposal facility(CDF) located at the Mole Pier in NAVSTA for furthermoistUre removal prior to disposal. . .1. ,i~St!

JirIl~~fllII-lIV;L~ml~U1iJ.~tI I'''' ';. - '>&, butpropOses to commence its dredging activity and temporarilystare the dredged material at the CDF. The Navy reportsthat the dredging operation will stop if an approveddisp~sal site is not found and the CDF reaches its maximumcapacity.

5. ·The discharger indicates that the CDF has a capacity of30,000 cubic yards and cohsists of an approximately 8,600square meter drying area surrounded by an approximatelythree meter high dike and underlain by a liner of lowpermeapility (not less than 20 mils). The dischargerreports that the dike is constrUcted with imported cleanearth fill and held in place by smaller earthen dikes.

6. The Water Quality Control Plan; San Diego Basin (9)(hereinafter Basin Plan) was.adopted by this Regional Boardon September 8, 1994 and subsequently approved by the Statewater Resources Control Board (State Board) on December 13,1994. SUbsequent revisions to the easin Plan have also beenadopted by the Regional a6ard ahd apprOved by the StateBoard. The Basin Plan deSignates beneficial uses andnarrative and numerical water quality objective, andprohibitions which are applicable to the dischargesregulated under this ,Order.

•-3 ..

-The test results demonstrate that the material specified forupland disposal comply withcortcerttration limits establishedby this Regional Board in "Waste Discharge RequirementWaiver Policy' for Disposal/~euse of Dredge Spoils inIndustrial or Commercial Applications". the basis of thiswaiver is that the disposal/reuse would hot cause aviolation of the water qUality standards established in theBasin Plan for surface and ground water hydrologic units,areas arid subareas that comply with all other general andspecific conditions of the waiver pol~cy for disposal/reuseof dredge spoils. These conditions include: separation fromsurface and groundwater resourceS; ad' thematerial after dis osal-;

8. The NaVy Project P-338SI\olill result in short-term increases

in turbidity of San Diego Bay waters in the vicinity of thedredging area. These short term water quality impacts willnot unreasonably affect present and anticipated beneficialUses of bay waters and wiil not result in water quality lessthan that prescribed in applicable plans and policies asdescribed in this Order. The short term change in waterquality is consistent with maximum benefit to the people ofthe state. The project as described in this Order isconsistent with State Water Resources Control BoardResolution No. 68-16, Statement of Policy with Respect toMa1ntaihirlg High Quality of Waters in California.
