Cal. Code Regs. tit. 23 § 3907
The Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDL) for Sediment and Water Temperature in the Scott River Watershed specify potential shade targets for water temperature and load allocations for sediment, which must be fully attained 40 years after the effective date of the TMDLs. The implementation actions are designed to encourage and build upon ongoing, proactive restoration and enhancement efforts and to comply with the State's Policy for the Implementation and Enforcement of the Nonpoint Source Pollution Control Program. Should any of the implementation actions fail to be implemented by the responsible party or should the implementation actions prove to be inadequate, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (North Coast Water Board) shall take appropriate permitting and/or enforcement actions.
Monitoring (e.g., implementation monitoring, upslope effectiveness monitoring, instream effectiveness monitoring, and compliance and trend monitoring) may be required of identified responsible parties in conjunction with existing and/or proposed human activities that will likely result in sediment waste discharges or elevated water temperatures. Additionally, North Coast Water Board staff shall develop a compliance and trend monitoring plan within one year of the date the Scott River TMDL Action Plan takes effect. The North Coast Water Board will conduct an extensive and focused reassessment after the Scott River TMDL Action Plan has been in effect for ten years, or sooner if the North Coast Water Board determines it necessary. North Coast Water Board staff will report to the North Coast Water Board at least yearly on the status and progress of implementation actions. For actions that rely on encouragement of existing efforts that address water quality impairments, the North Coast Water Board will conduct a formal assessment of the proven or expected effectiveness of these efforts within five years of approval of the TMDL Action Plan.
