that Dylan has tackled is analyzing the TMDL program for the Gualala.</em></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Summary</h2> <p>The Gualala River has been listed as impaired under the federal Clean Water Act due to elevated sediment levels since 1993 and has exceeded the Environmental Protection Agency’s Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) of sediment since 2001. This issue has powerful implications for the Gualala’s ecological, economic, and anthropogenic beneficial uses.</p> <div class="wp-block-image"> <figure class="aligncenter size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="800" height="600" src="https://gualalariver.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sediment-from-the-remains-of-a-timber-companys-summer-crossing-shedding-into-the-North-Fork-during-winter-flows-800x600.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-21358" srcset="https://gualalariver.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sediment-from-the-remains-of-a-timber-companys-summer-crossing-shedding-into-the-North-Fork-during-winter-flows-800x600.jpg 800w, https://gualalariver.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sediment-from-the-remains-of-a-timber-companys-summer-crossing-shedding-into-the-North-Fork-during-winter-flows-300x225.jpg 300w, https://gualalariver.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sediment-from-the-remains-of-a-timber-companys-summer-crossing-shedding-into-the-North-Fork-during-winter-flows-768x576.jpg 768w, https://gualalariver.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Sediment-from-the-remains-of-a-timber-companys-summer-crossing-shedding-into-the-North-Fork-during-winter-flows.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption"><em>Sediment from the remains of a timber company’s summer crossing sheds into the North Fork during winter flows.

FoGR’s successful 2021 litigation against the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board required the Gualala River’s Sedimentation issue to be amended to the Regional Basin Plan. Currently, Draft implementation documents are being prepared for public and board review. </p> <p>The Water Board is hiring new specialized staff to help design and implement the Draft plan. FoGR is following this issue closely so that our local community will be prepared to understand and comment upon the plan.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Details</h2> <p>A <strong><a href="https://www.epa.gov/tmdl/overview-total-maximum-daily-loads-tmdls" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Total Maximum Daily Load</a></strong> (TMDL), put simply, is the maximum amount of a pollutant that a waterbody can endure while still providing its <strong><a href="https://waterboards.ca.gov/centralcoast/water_issues/programs/tmdl/#:~:text=Water%2520quality%2520standards%2520are%2520comprised,implementation%2520plans%2520to%2520improve%2520them" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">beneficial uses</a></strong>. When a waterbody exceeds the designated TMDL for a type of pollution, it is considered “impaired.” The Clean Water Act Section 303(d) then requires this waterbody to be added to the <strong><a href="https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/rwqcb2/water_issues/programs/TMDLs/303dlist.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Section 303(d) List of Impaired Water Bodies</a></strong>.</p> <p>The <strong><a href="https://www.waterboards.ca.gov/northcoast/water_issues/programs/tmdls/gualala_river/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Gualala River</a></strong> is currently on this list due to sediment impairment, which affects the beneficial uses listed below.</p> <ol class="wp-block-list"> <li>Cold Freshwater Habitat</li> <li>Rare, Threatened, or Endangered Species</li> <li>Spawning, Reproduction, and/or Early Development</li> <li>Migration of Aquatic Organisms</li> <li>Commercial and Sport Fishing</li> <li>Estuarine Habitat</li> <li>Municipal and Domestic Supply</li> <li>Water Contact Recreation</li> <li>Non-Contact Water Recreation</li> </ol> <p>If you enjoy fishing for Steelhead or want to see Coho Salmon return to the Gualala River, items 1-6 of this list may concern you.

The Action Plan and Staff Report will contain implementation actions to control sediment pollution and the required environmental documentation.
