Both treatment plants were scheduled for inspection on 12/6/2022. However, due the high tides which causes low visibility in the outfall line for east treatment, the inspection of the east treatment outfall had to be postponed. The inspection was rescheduled for the next available time during favorable weather conditions, December 13, 2022. When our contractor attempted to preform that inspection, they determined flow was too strong and they were concerned about the camera becoming detached from the remotely operated vehicle. Based on those conditions a decision was made to reschedule. |

Enterococci sampling did not occur during the week of 1/28/2023 to 2/3/2023. Sampling for 2/3/2023 was canceled due to the treatment plant being taken off line, the treatment plant was down for longer than expected and we were not able to pull samples and get them to the lab prior to the lab closing. We sampled for enterococci on the next available day which was 2/6/2023. |

Order Conditions |
On January 28, 2021, a power outage at the Facility resulted in the discharge of approximately 45 million gallons of partially treated wastewater (as reported by the Discharger) through the Point Loma Ocean Outfall to the Pacific Ocean. While the Discharger has a standby emergency generator, the emergency generator was not functioning at the time of the power outage. The failure to maintain in good working order a sufficient alternative power source is in violation of section VI.C.4.a of the Order. |

When this error was discovered, the outsourced lab was contacted and informed to update the requested analysis. The outsourced lab was experiencing personnel issues and the request for the method correction was miscommunicated, although the correct method of 625.1 was annotated on the quote for services. Frequent correspondences with the lab were not effective due to staff changes where three lab mangers cycled through. |

Order Conditions |
On 9/18/19, a contractor working on a storm water maintenance project at Scripps Institution of Oceanography hit an irrigation line at approximately 1:43pm on the bluff above the beach, west of Hubbs Hall. The water was secured and shut off at 2:02pm. The contractor made every effort to contain the water on the project site, however, from 2:15pm to 2:45pm, some of the water breached the project site through hydrostatic relief holes in a containment structure and discharged to the beach at a rate of 5-10 GPM. It is estimated that a total of 150 to 300 gallons of water discharged onto the beach. Regional Water Quality Control Board staff were notified by email on 9/18/2019 and additional details were provided on 9/20/19. |

Order Conditions |
Due to increased turbidity and/or the potential for matrix interferences, Outfall 4b seawater sand filter backflush samples for select constituents analyzed using EPA Method 608.3 were diluted by the laboratory prior to analysis. This raised the Method Detection Limits (MDLs) and Reporting Limits (RLs) for these samples. As a result, the MDLs and RLs for these constituents exceeded Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or Performance Goals. The list of MDLs that exceeded the Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or the Performance Goals is included in Table 3-3 on page 3-5 of the attached Wet Weather Monitoring report. |

The surfzone bacteria monitoring sample collected at S1 on March 6, 2023 exceeded the single-sample daily maximum bacterial objective for Enterococcus. The sample result was 320 CFU/100ml and the single sample daily maximum water quality objective is <104 CFU/100ml. No unusual discharges or conditions were observed during the March 6, 2023 sampling event. The calculated 30-day geometric mean for S1 was 7 CFU/100ml which is below the water quality objective of <35 CFU/100 ml. |

Outfall 002, a storm water outfall, is inspected once per day for flows. On 1/31/21, a non-storm water discharge (NSWD) was observed from Outfall 002 (~0.1 gpm). It was investigated and found to be seawater. The source was identified as an overflow from seawater storage tank #1 located upstream. Approximately 5 gallons of seawater discharged to Outfall 002. |

The laboratory identified tributyltin contamination as a result of spiking the laboratory control spike (LCS) into the samples in place of the surrogate standard, thereby affecting all outfall samples. As a result, samples were re-extracted and re-analyzed past holding time. |

Order Conditions |
On 1/11/22, a non-storm water discharge was observed at Outfall 002 at a flow rate of approximately 0.25 gpm. It was determined to be fresh water using a salinity meter. The source of the water was investigated from 1/11/22 through 1/14/22 and was discovered to be from an underground leak in a main potable water line under the street in front of the Scripps Administration Building. It is estimated that a total of 1,000 gallons of potable water was discharged from Outfall 002 between 1/11/22 and 1/14/22. |

Deficient Reporting |
There is no TCDD result for OF002 due to a laboratory error. The dioxin subcontractor laboratory (Pace) inadvertently discarded the sample as a result of poor communication and sample management errors between the primary laboratory (Weck) and Pace. The lab did not notify the UC San Diego monitoring team of this error until June 2023 so another storm water sample for this analysis could not be collected for the January thru June 2023 semi-annual period. |

On 2/19/21, a non-stormwater discharge (NSWD) was observed at Outfall 002 in the morning (~0.1 gpm) that was identified as irrigation runoff. It had rained three days earlier on 2/16/21, saturating the ground and reducing infiltration, resulting in irrigation runoff reaching Outfall 002. Approximately one gallon of irrigation water discharged to Outfall 002. |

No unusual discharges or conditions were observed during the January 4, 2023 sampling event.

Due to increased turbidity and/or the potential for matrix interferences from the storm water, samples for some constituents were diluted by the laboratory prior to analysis for Outfall 002 (storm water). This raised the Method Detection Limits (MDLs) and Reporting Limits (RLs) for these samples. As a result, the MDLs and RLs for some of the constituents analyzed for the Outfall 002 samples exceeded Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or Performance Goals. |

Order Conditions |
Intermittent non-storm water discharges were observed from Outfall 002 on 11/7, 12/13, 12/15, 12/16, 12/17, and 12/18. A source could not be identified through upstream visual evaluations of the storm water conveyance system so the water was sampled and determined to be seawater. UCSD/SIO investigated the seawater distribution system in the area and discovered an underground leak in one of the seawater supply lines. Seawater from this leak got into the storm water conveyance system and resulted in a discharge of approximately 1,000 gallons of seawater to Outfall 002 on five days until the seawater line could be isolated for repair. |

Order Conditions |
Due to increased turbidity and/or the potential for matrix interferences, Outfall 2 storm water samples for select constituents were diluted by the laboratory prior to analysis. In addition to dilution, a Florisil cleanup was also performed on the Outfall 2 samples for the PCB and Toxaphene analyses. This raised the Method Detection Limits (MDLs) and Reporting Limits (RLs) for these samples. As a result, the MDLs and RLs for select constituents analyzed using EPA Method 625.1 and EPA Method 608.3 for the Outfall 2 storm water samples exceeded Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or Performance Goals. The list of MDLs that exceeded the Ocean Plan Minimum Levels and/or the Performance Goals is included in Table 3-3 on page 3-5 of the attached Wet Weather Monitoring report. |
