UNITED STATES ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY REGION IX

EPA provided public notice and solicited public comment on its identification of additional water bodies and associated pollutants for inclusion on California's List. Enclosure 2 summarizes comments received and EPA's response. The final list of water bodies that EPA is adding to California's list of water qUality limited segments still requiring a TMDL includes all the water bodies and associated pollutants identified in EPA's November 12,2010 letter, with the exception of San Joaquin River (Mendota Pool to Bear Creek) for electrical conductivity.
