Acute Toxicity-Mysid, H. costata or M. bahia-survival Maximum Daily (MDEL) limit is 40 % effect and reported value was 41.7 % effect. |
A sample (verification test) was collected at outfall 218-247 (Pier 4) during the next QSE on March 1, 2023. The sample resulted in a 13.3% effect compared to the Salt Control, which failed the TST analysis. However, the percent effect was less than 20% and did not exceed MDEL threshold. Per the NBSD permit, a toxicity reduction evaluation (TRE) was not required.
Additionally, evaluation of best management practices (BMPs) at Pier 4 was conducted to identify contaminants of concern in an effort to reduce toxicity in storm water runoff and to facilitate modifications to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as necessary. |

Chronic Toxicity-Sea Urchin or Sand Dollar-Larval develop Daily Maximum limit is 0 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) and reported value was 1 Pass/Fail (Pass = 0, Fail = 1) at NBSD-152. |
An investigation to the cause of the exceedance did not identify a source. The Stormwater Discharge Visual Observation form completed by the MMEC sampling team did not note any visual evidence of pollutants at the time the sample was collected. Industrial High Risk Facility operators perform pre-rain inspections before storms and NBSD Environmental personnel inspect all piers at least weekly. No sources of contaminants or best management practices (BMPs) deficiencies were observed on Pier 4 before the storm event. Evaluation of the BMPs associated with Outfall 218-247 (NBSD-152/Pier 4) is now being conducted concurrently with and in addition to weekly pier inspections. Sources of contaminants of concern will be evaluated in an effort to reduce toxicity in storm water runoff and to facilitate modifications to the Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan as necessary. NBSD will continue to monitor the situation for High Risk Industrial Storm Water Areas (NBSD Permit, Attachment E, Section V.B.). |

Pier 2: Sheen caused by emergency dewatering process from a ship fire between July 15 and 17, 2020. The vessel was triple boomed and the floatable portion of the dewatering discharge was contained within the booms. Sheen was sighted within the booms on multiple consecutive days. AFFF firefighting water/foam was also released to the bay during the emergency incident. Initial reports were that the oily sheen was not recoverable. |
A massive team of first responders were on scene throughout the incident including the NBSD FRT (Port Ops) spill response team and a contracted spill response team. The spill response team was able to recover approximately 36 gallons of oil that spilled to the bay within the ship's oil containment boom during emergency firefighting activity and emergency dewatering using rubberizer. No preventative measures were identified because the spill occurred during and because of an emergency situation (ship fire). |

Nickel, Total Recoverable Monthly Average limit is 6.8 ug/L and reported value was 18 ug/L at NGD-004. |
Following receipt of the monitoring results, the NGD emergency fire suppression and salt water supply system was evaluated to determine sources of elevated nickel in the discharge. Based on the evaluation, no uncontrolled sources of nickel were identified. A review of intake sample results from samples collected from San Diego Bay during the March 9, 2020, docking event suggest that a significant source of the nickel in the NGD 004 discharge is from the source water (San Diego Bay). Although the NGD emergency fire suppression and salt water supply system has been repaired several times to prevent discharge to San Diego Bay under normal operating conditions, the component of the system that prevents discharge has failed shortly after each repair. NBSD continues to evaluate options to repair the system to operate without discharge to San Diego Bay. |
