Water Quality Control Plan. San Francisco Bay Basin (Region 2)

The State Water Resources Control Board and the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards were created to solve California\u27s water quality problems. Operating under the provisions of the California Water Code. their unique relationship provides state level coordination and regional familiarity with local needs and conditions. Their joint actions constitute a comprehensive program for managing water quality in California. as well as effective State administration of the Federal water pollution control laws

Water Quality Control Plan. San Francisco Bay Basin (Region 2)

The San Francisco Bay estuarine system conveys the waters of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers into the Pacific Ocean. Located on the central coast of California (Figure 1-1 ), the Bay system functions as the only drainage outlet for waters of the Central Valley. It also marks a natural topographic separation between the northern and southern coastal mountain ranges. The region\u27s waterways, wetlands, and bays form the centerpiece of the United States\u27 fourth largest metropolitan region, including all or major portions of Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma counties

Water Quality Trading: Theoretical and Practical Approaches

Permit trading as an instrument to control air pollution has already been implemented in several countries, so in Europe since 2005. Could this instrument, however, also be adequately used for water pollution control of river basins in form of a water quality trading? Specific characteristics of rivers, pollutants and pollution sources strongly influence the design of such an instrument. This paper reviews theoretical and practical approaches on water quality trading. It is surprising that these approaches have never been linked by the literature. To fill this gap, this paper gives a first idea, how different water quality trading approaches (in theory and practice) can be made comparable.water quality trading, water pollution control, river basin management

Kings River Quality Assurance Project Final Report

The Kings River Watershed Partnership non-profit citizens group formed to take local control over water quality issues in the Kings River watershed in Arkansas. One of the first items the group addressed was water quality monitoring of the Kings River and Osage Creek. To this end they formed a water quality monitoring committee that was charged with the development of a water quality monitoring plan. The objectives of the plan they developed are: 1) to characterize both spatial and temporal variability in water quality parameters throughout the watershed during each year, 2) to utilize volunteers to monitor the water quality, and 3) to institute QA/QC procedures that will insure the quality of the data collected and allow its use in development of a Watershed Management plan

The effects of water quality on freshwater fish populations - final report

There is a need to determine quantitative relationships between fishery status and water quality in order to make informed judgements concerning fishery health and the setting of environmental quality standards for fishery protection. Such relationships would also assist in the formulation of a system for classifying fisheries. A national database of fisheries and water quality has been collated from the archives of pollution control authorities throughout the UK. A number of probable and potential water quality effects on fish populations have been identified from a thorough analysis of the database, notwithstanding large confounding effects such as habitat variation and fish mobility, and the generally sparse nature of water quality information. A number of different approaches to data analysis was utilised, and the value of each has been appraised. Recommendations concerning the integration of water quality assessment approaches have been made and further research on fishery status, and its measurement, in relation to water quality has been suggested

An Evaluation of the Effect of Discharging a High Quality Effluent into a Small Ozark Mountain Stream

Recently the newly constructed Fayetteville wastewater treatment plant went on line and directed a portion of its discharge to a point in the Mud Creek drainage basin that had previously not received any effluent. Prior to the discharge, a background study had been performed to establish the water quality in the basin. The background data, when compared to the data collected by this study, allowed any alteration of the stream water quality to be evaluated. Also the modeling procedure used to set the effluent limits for the treatment plant was analyzed. All stream data were compared to the limits set forth for surface water quality by the Department of Pollution Control and Ecology. The new discharge had some effect on the receiving stream, however, the stream still meets Arkansas water quality standards for all parameters
