Description of Tijuana River Estuary (TJRE) Freshwater Diversion Limits and San Antonio De Los Buenos Outfall at the Pt. Bandera (SAB/PTB) Wastewater Discharges to the Ocean Shoreline for the Four Modeling Scenarios

Scenario	TJRE diversion limit	SAB/PTB wastewater input
Baseline	2 MGD (0.09 m3 s−1)	Untreated 35 MGD (1.53 m3 s−1)
Scenario A	35 MGD (1.53 m3 s−1)	Treated 10 MGD (0.44 m3 s−1)
Scenario B	100 MGD (4.38 m3 s−1)	Untreated 35 MGD (1.53 m3 s−1)
Scenario C	163 MGD (7.14 m3 s−1)	Untreated 35 MGD (1.53 m3 s−1)

Note. TJRE inflows beyond these limits are not diverted and enter the TJRE. For SAB/PTB, treated wastewater is assumed to have 5% of the NoV pathogen load of untreated wastewater (e.g., Pouillot et al., 2015; Sano et al., 2016). NoV, norovirus.
