OPINION and ORDER - For the reasons stated, with respect to the TMDLs relevant to Claim One, the Court directs the parties to confer and, no later than March 11, 2019, to submit to the Court a single, joint status report that sets out the parties pro posal(s) for a schedule by which the State and EPA will establish replacement TMDLs that implement the applicable, biologically-based criteria. Inaddition, the Court directs EPA to disapprove the TMDLs relevant to Claim One, subject to the Courts wil lingness to consider a stay of that order pursuant to the above-referenced schedule for issuing replacement TMDLs. With respect to Claim Two, consistent with § 303(c)(2)(B) the Court directs EPA to review the TMDLs covered by Claim Two but not a lready included in Claim One within 60 daysof entry of judgment in this case. If EPA determines the NCC as contained in those TMDLsshould be disapproved, it must do so within 90 days of entry of judgment. In the alternative, as described more fully a bove, if the State and EPA agree to include the TMDLs included in Claim Two in the procedure outlined for Claim One, the Court will relieve EPA of its § 303(c) review obligations and instead direct the State and EPA to disapprove the Claim Two T MDLs, but stay that order for a period to be determined by a schedule set by the Court after conferral among theparties. With respect to Plaintiffs ESA claims (Claims Six and Seven), the Court finds the remedy on Claim One will redress the violation that Plaintiff established in Claims Six and Seven. Finally, the Court adheres to its order directing the State and EPA to establish the revised Willamette mercury TMDL and Klamath temperature TMDL no later than April 11, 2019. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED this 12th day of December, 2018, by United States District Judge Marco A. Hernandez. (peg)
