This summary page is based on the Regional Water Quality Control Board Central Coast Region progress report on Total Maximum Daily Load for Nutrients and other TMDL projects for the Lower Salinas River Watershed, in Monterey County, California. This summary was prepared by the Spring 2011 ENVS 560/L Watershed Systems class at CSUMB.

Project Definition
The California Regional Water Quality Control Board for the Central Coast Region (CCRWQCB) is currently developing a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) project for nutrients in the Lower Salinas Watershed in Monterey County. The CCRWQCB presented a progress report in June 2010 that contains background information, provisional nutrient targets,and a compilation of water quality data of water bodies in the region. Although the progress report identifies potential sources of nutrient loads, it emphasizes that the source analysis portion of the TMDL project is still pending.
This TMDL project will address these nutrient and nutrient-related impairments in 303(d) listed water bodies of the lower Salinas River watershed:

- target concentration
The TMDL target for nutrients for the lower Salinas valley is identified as a numeric target. The target concentrations are temperature dependent and vary based on what the location of the water bodies withing the Salinas Valley. These preliminary target concentrations are based on the 95th percentile of CCAMP reference sites. These reference sites might not be representative of "valley floor streams, sloughs and water conveyance structures"(ref nutrient report), which are more commonly found in the Salinas Valley.
