Guadalupe River WY 2010 Mercury monitoring funded by the Santa Clara Valley Water District for 2 locations on the Guadalupe River Monitoring to assess progress towards attaining legacy and urban stormwater runoff mass load allocations for the TMDL PCB, PFC, and Dioxin monitoring funded by the RMP
Why Guadalupe? • Known source of Hg to the Bay • Previous POC (Hg, PCB, PBDE) monitoring at GR 101 • High loadings of both PCBs and mercury detected in previous studies • Identified as a Status Monitoring Location in the MRP • USGS discharge station USGS/SCVWD/SFEI collaboration. Item 3b
STLS Informational Needs • Impairment: Which are the “high-leverage” small tributaries that contribute most to Bay impairment by pollutants of concern? • Loads: Determining average annual loads or concentrations of pollutants of concern from small tributaries to the Bay. • Provide data for modeling efforts.
