Section 3989.4 - Addition of Unnamed or Unidentified Water Bodies to the Beneficial Use Tables

The amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Diego Basin (Basin Plan) adopted by the San Diego Regional Water Quality control Board (San Diego Water Board) in Resolution No. R9-2005-0239 replaces obsolete language, updates tables, and specifies new laws and regulations passed since 1994. Table 2-2 and Table 2-4 are updated to identify specific names and the beneficial uses for thirteen previously unnamed stream segments and two newly constructed reservoirs. The 'Preservation of Biological Habitats of Special Significance' (BIOL) beneficial use is updated for waterbody segments within the beneficial use tables, and corrections to the water quality objective tables are made. The text describing marine life refuges is updated to bring the section up-to-date and Newport Beach Marine Life Refuge is removed since it is outside the San Diego region. The Plans and Policies section in Chapter 5 is updated to recognize 'areas of special biological significance (ASBS) as a subset of 'state water quality protection areas.' Also, typographical, spelling, and other errors are corrected.
