§ 3900. Water Quality Control Plan.

(a) On December 9, 1993, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board adopted Resolution No. 93-89 amending the Water Quality Control Plan for the North Coast Region (hereinafter Basin Plan) to update descriptions and correct inaccuracies (hereinafter Amendment). The State Water Resources Control Board approved the Amendment by adopting State Board Resolution No. 94-29 on March 21, 1994.

The Amendment does not include any new regulations. The purpose of the Amendment is to revise the Basin Plan to update descriptions of the Region and regulatory programs, incorporate changes in water quality regulations which have occurred since the 1988 revision of the Basin Plan, and correct inaccuracies that existed in the text of the 1988 Basin Plan. The amendment consists of primarily factual (informational) and editorial changes. The amendment incorporates into the Basin Plan water quality regulations which have gone through the public review process separately and prior to the subject amendment (such as water quality objectives obtained from Title 22 drinking water standards).

(b) On March 24, 2010, the North Coast Regional Water Quality Control Board (North Coast Water Board) adopted Resolution No. R1-2010-0025 which struck six separate dissolved oxygen (DO) objectives and replaced them with a footnote directing the reader to a new Table 3-1a including Site Specific Objectives for DO for the mainstem Klamath River.
