To All Interested Agencies, Public Groups, and Concerned
Individuals:
The Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and
Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the South Bay
Dischargers Authority Treated Wastewater Disposal Pro-
gram is complete and is being distributed at this time
for your review and comment. This program would pro-
vide a wastewater disposal system for the San Jose/Santa
Clara, Sunnyvale, and Palo Alto wastewater treatment
plants, located in the Santa Clara County Baylands
along the southeastern edge of San Francisco Bay. The
Draft EIR/EIS has been prepared to conform with the
requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 and the California Environmental Quality Act of
1970, as amended.
The project alternative has not been selected. However,
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the South
Bay Dischargers Authority (SBDA), at this time, recom-
mend a "no project alternative" for the following
reasons:
1. The degree to which increased dilution result-
ing from a discharge north of the Dumbarton
Bridge will mitigate the adverse impacts of
toxicants on the biota of the South Bay cannot
be predicted.
2. Modeling studies have not shown that a substan-
tial improvement in dissolved oxygen concen-
trations would result if the discharges were
moved north of the Dumbarton Bridge.
3. The viability of future full reclamation is
being investigated in the Regional Wastewater
Reclamation Study. Should such an alternative
prove to be feasible, it would meet the plan-
ning requirements of the San Francisco Bay
Basin Plan.
The EPA and the SBDA recognize that comprehensive
receiving water monitoring will be needed to document
the impacts of wastewater discharges in the South Bay
after treatment facilities, now under construction,
are placed in full operation. In addition, each dis-
charging agency is committed to local and regional
wastewater reclamation investigations.
This decision is being recommended by EPA and SBDA,
based upon present knowledge. However, if the final
selection is a "no project alternative," we will con-
tinue to evaluate results of the monitoring program
and will reconsider our selection, if appropriate.
The Final EIR/EIS will Identify the project alternative
selected after consideration of the public comments.
Comments on the Draft EIR/EIS should be sent to this
office within 45 days of the date of this letter. All
comments received will be considered in preparation of
the Final EIR/EIS for this action. If you fail to com-
ment within the specified time, it shall be assumed,
absent a request for a specific extension of time, that
you have no comment to make.
In order to receive testimony from the public, EPA
will hold a public hearing on the Draft. It is pres-
ently anticipated that the hearing will be held in
January or early February 1979. Public notice will be
given in the local newspapers at least thirty days in
advance of the public hearing.
The hearing may be continued from time to time, or to
a different place, after its commencement, to accommo-
date the need of witnesses or the EPA.
All interested parties are invited to express their
views at this hearing. Persons wishing to make comments
may submit them in writing and/or appear at the hearing.
Written comments should be submitted in triplicate to:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Region IX
Attnr Hearing Office (HE-141)
215 Fremont Street
San Francisco, CA 94105
-------
Oral statements will be received and considered, but,
for accuracy of the record, all important testimony
should be submitted in writing. Oral statements should
summarize extensive written materials so that there
will be time for all interested persons to be heard.
Enough copies of the written materials should be pro-
duced so that other interested persons may receive a
copy and there will be no necessity for written mater-
ials to be read at length.
The following documents constitute the Draft EIR/EIS:

BAY MONITORING PROGRAM
The State of California Regional Water Quality Control
Board adopted the current monitoring program for
sampling the south San Francisco Bay receiving waters
in November 1967. A revision was made to the sam-
pling program in late 1972, reducing the number of
prescribed sampling stations from sixteen to nine.
The stations are sampled twice daily, once within the
two hours prior to high tide, and once within the two
hours prior to low tide. The sampling frequency is
once per week during the period July 1 to October 31
and twice a month during the period November 1 to
June 30.
One of the surveys each month is a cooperative survey
instituted by the Regional Water Quality Control Board.
Daring this survey, all dischargers on San Francisco
Bay conduct.a simultaneous sampling program.
A total of 24 tests and observations are made at each
station during the sampling program. The data on the
following pages represent a summary of results of six
of these tests. The first row of figures under each
station is the high tide run and the second row is the
low tide run.

FOR PURPOSES OF
EVALUATING NOISE IMPACTS
OF THE CHOSEN PROJECT
F-2
EIS Noise Provisions
I. INTRODUCTION li SUMMABY
Ambient noise measurements were made at several location* near the
proposed root* for the conveyance pipeline. The ambient noise levels
were relatively high due to frequent aircraft flyovers, highway traffic,
and industrial operation*.
The noise from the pipeline due to the flow of the treated effluent will
be inaudible. Consequently, only the construction of the pipeline,
particularly pile driving, will possibly produce any adverse noise ef-
fects to the nearby residents.
II. NOISE CRITERIA
Various concerned regulatory entitles have promulgated noise criteria
applicable to the construction and operation of the proposed conveyance
system. These criteria are useful in the assessment of existing base-
line conditions as well as potential noise impacts. The regulations are
outlined below In tabular form and described more completely in the
attachment at the end of this appendix.
-------

55 dBA {L eq) recommended maximum to protect
public health and welfare.
Same as U.S. EPA
75 dBA maximum at property line of noise source
50 dBA maximum at residential zoning district
property line.
65 dBA maximum for industrial areas.
65 dBA maximum for temporary activities in re-
sidential or commercial areas. Noise allowed
only between 7 AM and 10 PM.
6 dBA m*vtrw"rvi above residential ambient levels*
8 dBA maximum above commercial ambient levels.
15 dBA maximum above ambient on public property.
70 to 86 dBA maximum for construction and in-
dustry. {See attachment for specific conditions.)
HI. AMBIENT NOISE CONDITIONS
ID. 1 NOISE MONITORING STATIONS
Seven locations (Figure 1) adjacent to the proposed pipeline were selected
in order to measure existing ambient noise levels and to establish a base-
line for assessment of the impact of the facility. These locations were
selected because they were believed to typify existing conditions of the
acoustical environment near noise sensitive areas, such as residence,
schools, and recreational facilities within the study area. The acousti-
cal environment in the area is currently dominated by traffic noise from
Bayshore and Alviso Freeways and aircraft noise due to military aircraft
flyovers from Moffett Field in Sunnyvale and civilian aircraft flyovers
from airports in Palo Alto, San Jose, and San Francisco*
The geographical conditions of these seven locations are described in
the footnote to Table 2.
m. 2 TECHNIQUES OF NOISE MONITORING ANALYSIS
On June 5, 1975, a Nagra IV-SJ tape recorder was employed to record
the existing noise levels at the seven locations described above. A con-
tinuous 15-mimite recording was made at each of these locations. In
addition, manual measurements were made with a precision sound level
meter (B&K Type 2206) for 15 minutes at each location.
The recorded tapes were subsequently analyzed in the laboratory with a
computer. The manually measured data served primarily to check the
results obtained from tape analysis.
-------
III. 3
RESULTS OF NOISE ANALYSIS
The results of the noise measurements and analysis are presented in
Table 2. The A-weighted noise level exceeded 90 percent of the time
(L90) acu* the A-weighted equivalent sound level (L.eq) were obtained at
each noise monitoring station. L^q will be used to describe the ambi-
ent noise levels in this report, although has also been chosen by the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as an adequate description noise
e nvir onment s.
IV. NOISE IMPACTS OF THE
PROPOSED PROJECT
IV. 1 CONSTRUCTION NOISE IMPACT
The proposed pipeline alignment will consist of an on-land section and
an estuarine section. Noise levels generated by construction activity
for on-land section are predicted for worst case conditions. Cranes,
dozers, front end loaders, backhoes, and compressors are expected to
be the most significant sources of noise during construction of the on-
land-alignment section. These pieces of equipment typically generate
noise levels in the range of 75 to 90 dBA measured 50 feet away (EPA,
1971). Under worst condition, i.e., when all pertinent equipment is
present at the site, the at 50 feet is estimated to be 89 dBA (EPA,
1971). No blasting, pile driving, or rock drilling is expected in the
construction of the cm-land alignment section. The predicted noise
levels at various distances from the construction site are presented in
Table 3 below;

* Note: Assuming three identical equipment each generating
90 dBA at 50 feet.
Pile driving is anticipated during the construction of the estuarine por-
tion of the alignment. The sharp, repetitive sound produced by pile
driving generates peak noise levels ranging from 96 to 106 dBA
measured 50 feet away from the source, depending upon the type of piles
and the pile driver used {Rosenberg and Slater, 1971). The predicted
maximum noise levels at various distances from the site of pile driving
are also presented in Table 3.
Construction noise impact is determined by comparing the existing am-
bient noise levels and die predicted construction noise levels with the
impact criteria.
Comparison of the data in Table 2 with EPA's criteria indicates that the
existing noise levels adjacent to the proposed pipeline route already ex-
ceed the level required for protection of public health and welfare. Con-
struction noise, especially near-shore pile driving, will temporarily in-
crease these ambient levels. Since construction of the pipeline at a
given location will take place over a limited time period, however, it
is anticipated that the construction noise will not significantly alter the
existing noise environment in the area.
When the construction of the on-land alignment takes place within the city
limit of Sunnyvale, the noise levels within 6500 feet of the construction
activities may exceed 50 dBA, the desirable maximum noise level at a
property line in a residential district specified by the city code. Simi-
larly, when the construction takes place in Mountain View or Palo Alto,
the noise levels may exceed 65 or 86 dBA, the maximum desirable sound
levels for the boundaries of industrial area or at the properly line of a
project, respectively. In addition, the noise levels produced by the
construction of the pipeline, both on - land and estuarixie sections may ex-
ceed the existing local ambient noise levels by more than the amount
specified by the Palo Alto municipal code.
-------
IV. 2 OPERATION NOISE IMPACT
There will be 110 audible noise from the flow of treated effluent through
the pipeline since the pipe wilt be buried under approximately four feet
of earth which will muffle any- noise that may propagate along the pipe
as a result of vibration induced by the pumps. Therefore, operational
noise impact will not be significant.
V. MITIGATION MEASURES
The following measures can be taken to reduce or eliminate the con-
struction noise impact:
1. Limit the construction to the hours between 0:00 AM to 6:00 PM;
2. Apply engineering techniques to control construction equipment
noise wherever feasible, such as Installations of proper exhaust
mufflers and machine enclosures, and selection of quieter con*
struction equipment.

ATTACHMENT
FEDERAL AND LOCAL NOISE CRITERIA
AND REGULATIONS
The relevant'fed'eral government documents, and local noise ordinances
of those cities which the pipeline will pass through are used as criteria
to assess the noise impact of the proposed pipeline project. These
criteria are briefly described below:
1, Federal Governmental Documents
The U. S. Environmental Protection Agency identifies an equiva-
lent A-weighted sound pressure level (Leq) of 55 dB as requisite to
protect public health and welfare.
2. Local Noise Ordinances:
Of the five cities through which the proposed pipeline will pass,
two (Palo Alto and Sunnyvale) have promulgated noise ordinances,
two (San Jose and Mountain View) have developed noise policy
guidelines (called Noise Element by both cities), and one (Santa
Clara) has no formal noise document. Although the cities of San
Jose and Mountain View have not enacted any noise ordinances at
this time, they evaluate the noise aspect of environmental impact
reports on the basis of their Noise Element documents. Drafts
of noise ordinance are being developed by the two cities and new
noise ordinances are expected to be promulgated in the near future.
(Personal communication with Michael Percy of Planning Depart-
ment, City of Mountain View, and John Luccehesi of Development
Division, City of San Jose, June 1975). Abstracts of the noise
ordinance or noise elements related to construction activities
of the four cities are presented below.
City of San Joae (1974).
The Noise Element of the city established the same noise criteria
as identified by EPA as the goal of its noise control policy.
City of Sunnyvale (1963 and 1972).
Section 19. 24. 020 of the Sunnyvale Municipal Code specifies that
the noise or sound which is continuously or recurrently generated
or produced by any activity, operation or installation shall not
exceed 75 dBA at any point on the property line of the premises
upon which the sound or noise is generated or produced. How-
ever, the noise or sound level shall not exceed 50 dBA at any
point on such property line which forms a common boundary with
property in a residential zoning district.
City of Mountain View (1973)
The Noise Element of the City of Mountain View recommends that,
when temporary construction and similar noisy activities are
necessary in residential and commercial districts, they should
be limited to daytime hours (7 A. M. to 10 P. M.) and should never
exceed the sound levels established for industrial areas. The
sound level in the exterior of industrial area shall be kept below
65 dBA.
F-7
-------
City of Palo Alto (1972),
A. Residential property noise Umitt No more than 6 dB above
the local ambient at any point outside of the property plane
(Property plane is defined as a vertical plane including the
property line which determine the property boundaries in
space).
B. Commercial and industrial property noise limit: No more
than 8 dB above the local ambient at any point outside of
property plane.
C. Public property Boise limit: No more than 15 DB above
the local ambient at a distance of 25 feet or more.
D. Demolition, construction and alteration activities which are
carried out with a valid city permit are allowed to exceed
the regular daytime limit of 70 dBA at 25 feet, but only
between 8:00 A. M. and 8:00 P. M. (10:00 A. M. and 6:00 P. M.
Sundays and holidays), and only if one of the following limits
is met:
No individual piece of equipment shall produce a noise
level exceeding 83 dBA at a distance of 25 feet> OB
The noise level at any point outside of the property line
or perimeter of the project shall not exceed 86 dBA.
This dual regulation allows the individual contractor flexi-
bility in planning his equipment use on the job to meet the
Noise Ordinance limites.

BENTHIC AND WATER QUALITY SAMPLING
!• Introduction
A brief review of the approved scope of work for this
project is presented in order to clarify the procedures and
objectives of the study. A baseline study of the benthic
community in the South Bay is underway. The objectives of
the study are to:
A. Describe seasonal changes in the population biology
of major species of infaunal and epifaunal inverte-
brates. The variables to be measured include abun-
dance, size and/or age distribution, fecundity, and
recruitment.
B. Larger saaples will be obtained for the purpose of
determining the species composition of the less
numerous, deeper burrowing forms.
A preliminary sampling survey has been conducted in the
South Bay area to: (1) familiarize the investigators with the
fauna, substrata and other biological variables; (2) test the
different sampling equipment particularly with respect to
fauna1 sampling characteristics in areas of major interest
and evaluation of sampling techniques with respect to preci-
sion of estimation of abundances; (3) assess biological char-
acterization of sampling areas and to establish permanent
sampling stations which best represent the objectives of the
study.
The first objective described above is the major objective
of the study. This data can be obtained from a suitably de-
signed sampling program. Estimates of the variables have been
made using appropriate statistical sampling designs and pro-
cedures. The data obtained will provide information that
vlll describe seasonally varying population characteristics.
Changes in characteristic population biology will be detect-
able from comparisons of the aggregate population variables
from one sampling period to another. The objective of the
study is not to provide inclusive information on all the spe-
cies present. This is rarely practical. The study will con-
centrate on species with aggregate sampling and estimation
properties (of the variables mentioned) which will permit the
most exact estimation of relevant aspects of their ecology.
It should be emphasized that none of the aforementioned
estimates can be categorically obtained from some standard
size of sample or sampling devices. The estimation of simple
standard errors of means of abundances of organisms depends
upon their underlying distribution in space, and under dif-
ferent conditions, fewer or more, smaller or larger sample
quadrats or grab sizes can have similar estimation properties.
The issue is to provide errors of estimates which can then
be used to determine if statistically significant changes
have occurred. Indeed, different sized sampling devices can
be used at different times and still provide the requisite
test of significance. If, however, only a small number of
specimens are obtained in a sample designed for estimating
abundance, but more are needed to estimate fecundity, size

distribution or some other variable property, then either
more samples or larger sample sizes would have to be taken
singly to get enough specimens for observation. The objec-
tives of the preliminary sampling stage of the study has
been to obtain data permitting evaluation of alternate sam-
pling procedures. This evaluation has taken into account
the biological and sampling properties of individual species
chosen for emphasis in the study.
II. Methods and Materials
Thirty faunal stations were established in the South San
Francisco Bay area (Fig. 1). Four replicate samples were
taken at each station for a total of 120 faunal samples. The
location of each faunal station was established by sextant
triangulation using large and easily visable, permanent land-
marks (Table I).
The vessel, a 17 ft. Boston Whaler, was anchored for each
station and four replicate sanples were taken using a Ponar
grab. The volume of the grab is 0.0055 m^ - 0.00025"vn with a
2
surface area of 0.0504 m . This grab was selected because a
larger volume, heavier grab would be very difficult to handle
safely in shallow water from a small vessel. The grab was
manipulated by a crane and a 12 volt battery-powered winch
attached to the bow of the boat. Each sample was carefully
placed into a plastic container and the volume measured with
a calibrated ruler.
Sieving was done on-board employing two sieve sizes, 1.0
and 0.5 mm. The stacked sieves were suspended over the side

of the boat vith the crane and a 12 volt battery-powered
water pump was used to supply fresh sea water for sieving.
The pump Intake hose was covered with a fine mesh screen to
prevent non-benthic organisms from entering the sieving
water.
Fauna fron the two sieve fractions (1.0 and 0.5 aa)
were placed in separate cotton containers. The mesh size
openings of the cotton containers were substantially smaller
than 0.S mo, still allowing free entry of the narcotizing agent
and fixative. The sieved fractions were placed in 0.5%
propylene phenoxetol in sea water. Within one hour the
sieved fractions were transferred to 10% buffered formalin.
Prior to sorting the organisms were washed in fresh water
and transferred to 70% isopropyl alcohol.
A fifth grab sample from each faunal station was taken
for sediment analysis. Sediment volumes of approximately
15 ml were removed for partical size determination.
Water quality samples for laboratory analysis were col-
lected and preserved according to the instructions given by
the Pacific Environmental Laboratories (see their separate
report for details). The samples were delivered to the
Pacific Environmental Laboratories within six hours of
collection (Standard Methods, 13th Edition, page 34). Fif-
teen stations with a total of 29 samples were made during the
preliminary survey period (Figure 2, Table II).
Deep water station samples ware collected every 3 meters,
starting 0.5 m below the surface. Samples were collected in
PVC Niskin sampling bottles Model 1010, 1.7 liter capacity.

Field measurements included dissolved oxygen, tempera-
ture depth, and ph. Dissolved oxygen measurements were taken
vith a YSI Model 54ARC oxygen meter with a 30.48 n cable
length for the probe. The oxygen probe has a built-in pres-
sure compensation vent for deep water analysis. The calibra-
tion was done in the field for each measurement using the
Air Calibration Technique for sea water (Standard Methods,
page 480). The difference between air and water temperature
was less than S°C. The meter was field calibrated for a
chloride concentration of 20,000 mg/l. The D.O. readings
were corrected for actual chloride concentrations when the
samples were analyzed and the results made available.
Separate water samples were made for chloride concentration
in order to correct D.O. measurements. These sauries were
analyzed by the Water Quality Laboratory of the Pacific
Marine Station. Comparison of the results obtained from the
Pacific Environmental Laboratories for chloride concentration
with those of. the Pacific Marine Station showed no signifi-
cant difference.
The water temperature vas measured with oceanographic
reversing thermometers (.001 C° adjusted) attached to the
Niskin collecting bottles. The ph was measured in the field
with a Corning Model 610-A Expand Scale Meter. The water
used for the ph measurement was.that from the unpreserved
water collected for laboratory analysis. Depth was measured
with a Heathkit Model Ml-1030 Fathometer.
Samples for coliform bacteria were collected at each
station. Every tenth coliform sample was doubled for control

the tidal cycle during which the collections occurred was
listed.
III. Results
The 0.5 mm Sieve fraction
The species selected for further study were based upon
abundance data compiled from analyzing the 1.0 mm sieve frac-
tion. The 0.5 mm sieve fractions were sorted for species
diversity and a number of species were added to 'the station
faunal lists. However, the animals in these fractions were
not counted. Many of the fractions contained large numbers
of oligochaetes; primarily the species Peloscolex gabriellae.
P. anectlnatus. P. nerthoides. These same fractions also con-
tained the polychaetes Pseudopolvdora kempi. Polvdora ligr.i.
Exogone lourei and Streblosolo benedict!: some small amphi-
pods; Aaroellsca millerl. nematods and ostracods. The small
size of the animals and the high organic content of the sieve
fraction lead us to believe it was possible that much of
the populations of the smallest forms were not completely
H-13
-------
retained 011 the 0.5 mo sieve. Therefore, tests were conducted
on some of the fractions to determine if the small forms would
go through the sieve with additional washing. It was dis-
covered that when additional sieving was gently done and the
waste water sieved through .250 mm and .180 ran sieves, that
some of the species did indeed pass through the 0.5 mm screen.
Representatives of the three oligochaete species; the poly-
chaetes, Streblospio benedicti, Exogone lourel. nematods and
some ostracods were retained on the .250 mm and .180 mm sieves.
With this preliminary information it was felt that attempts to
determine abundancies of the smaller animals retained on the
0.5 sn screen would produce misleading conclusions. It is
proposed that additional tests be conducted based upon the
design used-by Reish (1959) and Hessler and Jumars <1974)
vhere replicate samples are taken and sieved through a series
of screens composed of 1,0 mm, 0.5 n*n> .250mm and .180 son
fractions. Cumulative percents of the animal species and
number collected in each sieve size could then be determined.
If the results are similar to Reish and Hessler and Juaarsa
significant number of the smaller forms will go through the
0.5 mm sieve. If this is the case, abundance data from the
0.5 ran screen for those species of which significant numbers
pass through the screen cannot be used for population studies.
These very limited observations supported by data from Reish
and others indicate that in order to study the smaller size
fauna*techniques must be used which reflect the questions
asked and the characteristics of the animals. With very
large numbers of individuals in 0.5 mm fractions and the
H-14
fact that many individuals may pass through the 0.5 mm screen,
& different program would have to be developed to monitor
this population in a meaningful way. The 0.5 mm fractions
for this study will not be counted until further field tests
confirm or refute our observation and preliminary tests. It
should be pointed out that if smaller sieve sizes are needed
to monitor the smaller sized animals, then a smaller grab
sample, with more replicates might also be needed. This
cannot be done within the existing budget.
During the sieve tests it was noted that some small Ge™"0
gemma also passed through the 0.5 mm sieve. Muus (1973)
pointed out that in many papers on size class determination
using bivalves, the authors have not selected the right sieve
size for the species being studied. His studies showed that
most of the bivalve larvae collected in the 0resund (Denmark)
were smaller than 0.5 mm. If a sieve size larger than the
spat is used the first year class is often reported as spat.
This problem can cause misleading conclusion particularly in
short duration studies. Muus (1973) has reported the spat
size of a number of bivalves in the same genus as those in
this study are about 0.4 mm. Therefore, it is proposed to
review this possibility and adjust the sampling technique to
reflect the capture of the spat for those bivalves selected
for study.
Sediment Analysis
Sediment samples were collected during the sailing
periods of September 1, October 4 and October 18, 1975. The
September samples were dry sieved and October sables were
-------
wet sieved. This comparative study was conducted to determine
the most accurate method of particle size determination for
animal-sediment relationships. Sieving was done through
7.62 cm Taylor round sieves with mesh openings of 0.600 mm,
0.425 mm, 0.250 mm, 0.180 mm, 0.7S mm, these mesh sizes
correspond to phi units of 0.740, 1.234, 2.000, 2.474, 3.000,
and 3.737. Particle size relationships were analyzed by
computer and the comparative results of both wet and dry
sieving are illustrated in Figures 3 and 4. The results indi-
cate that dry sieving produces mean grain sizes in the coarse
or medium sand size range. Vet sieving clearly demonstrates
that the particle sizes are generally skewed to the fine
sortd, silt and clay fractions. The disparity in results
between the two methods are most likely related to the fact
that when sediments with large percentages of silt and clay
nixed with organic matter are dried and sieved, the fines
form conglomerates which are then retained on the larger
sieve sizes. - The dry sieve analysis indicates considerable
variability between stations whereas obvious exceptions for
the wet sieved samples are the stations taken in the channel
areas (7, 23, 24, and 27) where the oyster shell fragments
made up a large percentage, thereby increasing the mean grain
size. Tables V and VI show the difference in the percent
weight of the sieve sizes after sieving.
Neither wet nor dry sieving is accurate enough to de-
termine the differences in small scale heterogeneity. Micro-
scopic analysis is necessary to accurately relate species
distribution in small areas to sediment differences (Smith,
0.&T

1975), However, these techniques are expensive and time con-
suming; well beyond the scope of this project. In view of this
fact, wet sieving is the best alternative for a reasonable
estimation of particle size distribution.
A technique for determining differing sand environments
is a scatter diagram of skewness (G^) vs. kurtosis (Gj) taken
from Mason and Folk (1958). Figure 5 is a G^ vs G2 scatter
diagram for the wet sieved samples. Each station is repre-
sented by a dot and station number. These results indicate
three sand environments with the channel stations clearly
separated in size characteristics. The fact that many of the
stations are closely grouped does not allow a clear cut
¦election of stations based upon sediment characteristics
alone. Permanent stations have been selected in each major
division of sediments in order to monitor these different
environments.
Determination of Permanent Sampling Stations and Selection of
Representative Species.
The primary objective for establishing permanent sampling
stations is to monitor the fauna which best represents the
South Bay area. The selection of the stations and representa-
tive species are closely related. Table VII summarizes the
pooled species data for all stations and all replicate samples.
The criteria for selecting the species which best represent
the South Bay area are those species which have a high fre-
quency of occurrence, a high mean density, and a low co-
efficient of variation (CV). Coefficients of variation are

used to compare the variances of two or more populations
Independent of the magnitude of their means. The coeffi-
cient of variation is the standard deviation expressed as a
percentage of the mean. The selected criteria will indicate
which species populations have wide-spread occurrence, com-
paratively high densities, and a minimal error factor to allow
easier determination of minor population fluctuations. Based
upon the data in Table VII the representative species are:
the bivalves: Gemma gemma. Lyonsla California. Muscuius
senhousla. Macoma inqulnata. and the polychaete; Heteromastus
flllformis. Final determination of the amphipod species has
not been completed. When this is completed, dominant amphipod
species will be incorporated into the present representative
species analysis for future sampling periods.
Some of the permanent sampling stations were chosen
according to the distribution of representative species within
each of the thirty preliminary stations (Table VII). Only
those stations where each of the representative species
occurred in three or more replicates are listed. The require-
ments for determining these permanent sasipling stations based
on the established representative species information were:
(1) enough individuals present so that changes in the popula-
tion densities would not eliminate the population, and (2) a
low coefficient of variation that will enable minor population
fluctuations to be more easily noticed.
Without a prior knowledge of the range of population
fluctuations of the representative species, the minimal
densities required to maintain a yearly measureable population
is not known. Therefore, representative species have been
chosen which have the largest number of individuals and a
low coefficient of variation.
It is evident from Table VIII that any given fifteen
stations will not satisfactorily include all eight repre-
sentative species. Therefore, stations were selected which
best reflect large numbers of the representative species,
either one station for a particular species or for several
species. The following is a list of the stations and their
respective species which will be emphasized during the study:
gemma gemma, stations 18, 19, and 5; Lvonsla californica.
stations 18 and 19; Musculus senhousla. stations 12 and 13;
Macoma inquinata. stations 1 and 19; and Heteromastus flll-
formis, stations 19, 20, and 30. From a total of 30 stations,
only the selected eight stations will provide any meaningful
data on animal populations. The remaining seven stations
were selected because of their location to the project, i.e.
near the diffuser discharge point or because they were repre-
sentative of the major sediment classes. These remaining
stations include 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 23, and 25 bringing the total
to fifteen stations to be sampled three more times during 1976
(Fig. 6).
Size Frequency Analysis of Selected Bivalves.
Quantitative species data alone does not yield sufficient
information on age group division of animal populations to
understand fluctuation patterns. The benefits of knowing the.
age distribution, through time, produces information on such

basic ecological factors as growth rate, mortality, repro-
duction patterns, and population age structure. Combining
these factors assists in determining recruitment, fluctua-
tion patterns caused by recruitment and age stability, de-
termining whether the population is increasing, maintaining
itself, or declining. It would not be possible to determine
the size frequency for all the species collected within the
time frame and financial restrictions of this study, therefore,
eight species have been selected for this form of analysis.
Without prior information on the species age-size relation-
ship, size distribution histograms are commonly used to
represent the age structure of animal populations. The
general assumption in size distribution analysis, is that age
varies linearly with size.
The bivalves Modiolus senhousia and Mar-rana inaulnata
were selected to demonstrate size variation. Length and width
for each species was measured and correlated. The results
showed that the correlation coefficients for both senhousia
and inouinata were significant at the X% level, r* 0.874
and 0.938. Since the length and width strongly covaried,
either of the two measurements nay be used to indicate size.
Size distribution histograms for the selected species (Fig. 7)
clearly indicate size variation within the populations. The
other selected species will also be measured either by count-
ing segments in polychaetes or carapace length in anq>hipods.
As was pointed out earlier, the sieve size will be very.

Into the size class determination. Unfortunately, the fre-
quency of sampling is only four times a year. Size class and
spat settlement data are more meaningful if sampling periods
are monthly. However, monthly sampling is beyond the scope
of the project.
Ponar Grab Efficiency.
2
The selection of the Ponar Grab (0.05 m ) was based upon
the weight of the grab and the ease and safety of use from a
small craft. The South San Francisco Bay is largely a shallow
water area, with some chosen faunal stations accessible only
at high tide. This limitation necessitated the use of a small
craft and light sampling equipment.
Bepllcate Analysis.
The fauna collected by four replicate samples at each
station was analyzed in Beveral vays. The pooled number of
species and individuals for each replicate are shown in
Figures 8 and 9. The results from pooling the data Indicate
that one replicate sufficiently estimates combined species
and individual parameters as well as four replicates.
However, since the objective of the study is to monitor
selected species, these representative species and their
respective stations were analyzed individually for replicate
accuracy (Table IX). The samples were grouped into 2, 3,
and 4 replicates for the analysis (sets AB, ABC, ABCD).
Based upon Table IX, three replicates per station would be
the minimal for obtaining needed quantitative data for the
study and four replicates would yield a more accurate analysis

CV - coefficient of variation
of the representative species populations.
The use of a larger sampling device in aggregate popula-
tions will increase the probability of increased numbers of
rare species, but concurrently increase the probability of a
higher standard error. A higher standard error will lead to
less accurate data for analyzing abundance fluctuations.
The use of more replicates at each station may further dimin-
ish the standard error to a relatively constant value. The
magnitude of the error factor is dependent upon the type of
faunal distribution in space. Due to the cost of analyzing
each sample, more than four replicates per station for 15
stations for three more sampling periods is outside the finan-
cial limits of the contract.
Vn1ym» Anal «
The effect of different grab volumes on obtaining higher
species numbers was tested by correlation using the product-
moment correlation coefficient for key species. Different
transformations of the species abundance raw data were used
to obtain the highest correlation coefficients. Of the six
representative species tested, filiformis. M. inouinata.
and Gj_ gemma had significant correlation coefficients (Figs.
10, 11, 12). Based on the existing sampling program and the
presented correlations, to maintain sufficient animal densi-
ties per grab, the recommended minimum volume is 3.0 liters.
IV. sn—mry and Conclusions
1. Fifteen permanent stations have been selected based
upon the abundance of the representative species,
project needs and sediment characteristics.

The criteria for selecting the species which best
represent the South Bay area are those species which
have a high frequency of occurrence, a high mean
density, and a low coefficient of variation (CV).
The representative species are: the bivalves;
Gemma ggmna, Lvonsia califoraica. Muscuius senhousia.
Macoma ingiiinata, and the polychaete; Heteromostus
fillformls. Amphipod species are also being incor-
porated into the species analysis.
The efficiency of the Ponar grab (0.05 m ) to collect
sufficient abundance data was analyzed. It was
found that four replicates would yield a more accur-
ate analysis of the representative species. A
volume of 3.0 liters was found to be the minimum
recommended to maintain sufficient animal densities
pet grab.
Tests were conducted on the 0.5 mm sieve fraction
to determine if some of the smaller species were
completely retained on the sieve. It was found that
representatives of three oligochaete species; the
polychaetes, Streblosoio benedicti, Exoaone lourel.
nematods and some ostracods passed through the 0.5 ran
screen and were retained in the .250 mm and .180nm
sieves. Further field tests must be conducted before
a decision can be made as to whether these smaller
forms should be counted in the 0.5 mm sieve fraction.
Wet and dry sieving methods were compared and it was
found that dry sieving resulted in data skewed toward
the course and medium sands. Wet sieving showed the
substrata to be composed of large amounts of silt
and clay particles. Wet sieving is the best alter-
native for a reasonable estimation of particle size
distribution.
6. Representative data was presented on size frequency
analysis for selected bivalves to demonstrate the
type of information to be gathered on the selected
representative species.
7. Ameeting will be held to formalize arrangements
with the California Academy of Science to curate
the collections fran South Bay. See Attachment I
for deposition instruction from Dr. Welton Lee.

ATTACHMENT I
RECOMMENDATIONS CONCERNING DEPOSITION OF SOUTH BAY,
SAN PABLO BAY, AND PETALUMA CREEK COLLECTIONS
1. Concerning the amount of material to be deposited, the department is
particularly interested in obtaining the "type" or reference collection (on
which the other identifications will presumably be baaed), specimens of
particular interest to us (rare specimens, new records, or highly variable
species), and small representative collections of the commoner species.
The department can curate and maintain this amount of material at
relatively low cost.
2. The department would also be willing to maintain the entire collection,
but the extent of material and curatlon expense would be such that these
expenses would have to be underwritten by the consultant, since the
department does not have sufficient funds or time to fully curate large
collections without some assistance.
3. A final decision concerning the amount of material which the department
might wish to obtain must await completion of the sampling program and
examination of the species list and the size and state of the collections.
For example, the department would in all likelihood not be willing to curate
50,000 specimens of Mya arenaria unless financial assistance was available
to do so.
4* The department has extensive holdings from the Redwood City area,
but rather limited amounts from the areas to be covered in the intended
study; that is: the south Bay, especially south of the Dumbarton Bridge;
San Pablo Bay; and Betaluma Creek. The department is particularly
interested in material from the latter two areas.
5. We recommend the following techniques be used for preservation and
curatlon:
The specimens should be relaxed, and then fixed in 10% buffered
formalin, on the day of collection. Within five weeks the specimens
should be washed in fresh water, and transferred to 75% etbanol. To keep
space required for specimen storage to a reasonable level, we recommend
the use of various size containers, especially 4 or 8 ounce, with plastic
screw cap lids. Into each jar would be placed all of the specimens from
one species, from one station, from one sampling period. Specimens from
different replicates should NOT be combined, but should be placed in
separate glass vials within the jar, capped with cotton, and INVERTED In
ATTACHMENT I cent.
the jar to prevent desslcatlon. Each replicate should be labeled with
the station number, station latitude and longitude, replicate number,
date and collector. Inside the jar should be placed a label indicating
the station number and position, replicates enclosed, date, collector,
and taxon.
When only a few scattered specimens or species are present,
different lots may be placed in vials in the same jar, but must be treated
as completely separate samples. That is, each vial should be fully
labeled with station number and position, replicate number, date,
collector, and taxon. Any specimen lot which contains errors orwhlch
is left unlabeled cannot be traced, and thus is useless.
Labels should be made of 30% rag paper or better, or plastic paper;
India ink or pencil should be used, not ball point.
The department can provide specifications for standard museum
containers used in the departmental collections; use of these containers
would reduce curatlon costs and streamline operations.
All specimens deposited In the department MUST be accompanied
by full station data at the time of deposit, so that full and accurate
Information may be placed on the museum labels. These data should
include station number, latitude and longitude, depth, date, and collector,
and such other information as might be available (sediment type, time of
collection, equipment used, etc.). A complete species list, taxonomlc
work sheets, and a copy of the final report should also be provided as soon
as possible.
When material is removed from a specimen lot for inclusion in the
reference collection, for dissection, or for other purposes, a note
indicating the number of specimens removed, the purpose, the date of
removal, and the name of the person removing the specimens, should be
placed in the lot. -
As indicated above, at times it may be appropriate to combine
replicates or species within a single jar; however, specimens collected
from separate SAMPLING PERIODS should never be combined, as it Is
too easy to mix material from different periods or seasons, which may
result in incorrect data or conclusions.

I. INTRODUCTION
This progress report covers data from three quarters of a four quarter
study. The data from the last quarter has not "been completely analyzed and,
therefore, no attempt has been made to analyze all of the data from the four
quarters until all the project Information is available. In the second
report of November, 1975 some special experiments vere suggested. These
experiments have been conducted and the results presented in this report.
For detailed information concerning the selection of stations, sampling
methodology, sieve analysis and selections of species for size class deter-
mination reference should be made to the November, 197? progress report.
II. SUMMARY OF THE WQVrl'BEB 1975 REPORT
A. Methods and Materials
Thirty faunal stations were established in the South San Francisco Bay
area. Pour replicate samples were token at each station for a total of 120
faunal samples. This data was analyzed and presented in the November, 1975
The vessel, a 17 ft. Boston Whaler, was anchored for each station and
positioned by sextant triangulation. Four replicate samples were ts&en using
a Ponar grab. The volume of the grab is 0.055 - 0.0025 m^ vith a surface
area of O.OSO't Each sample was carefully placed into a plastic container
and the volume measured with a calibrated ruler.
1
Sieving was done with a 1.0 and 0.5 era stacked sieves. Sieved fractions
were transferred to 10? buffered formalin. Prior to sorting the organisms were
washed in fresh water and transferred to 70% isopropyl alchol.
A fifth grab sample from each faunal station was taken for sediment size
analysis. Sediment volumes of approximately 100 g. were removed for particle
size determination.
Water quality samples for laboratory analysis were collected and preserved
according to the instructions given by the Pacific Environmental Laboratories
(see their separate report for details). Th'e samples were delivered to the
Pacific Environmental Laboratories within six hours of collection (Standard
Methods, 13th Edition, page 3b). Fifteen stations with a total of 29 samples
vere made during the preliminary survey periods (Table I).
Deep water station samples vere collected every 3 meters, starting 0.5 m
"below the surface. Samples vere collected in PVC Niskin sampling bottles model
1010, 1.7 liter capacity, (map l)
Field measurements include dissolved oxygen, temperature, depth, and ph.
Dissolved oxygen measurements were taken with a YSI model 5U ARC oxygen meter
vith a 30. ^8 m length cable attached to a probe. Water temperature vas meausred
with oceanographic reversing thermometers (.001 C° adjusted) attached to the
Hiskin collecting bottles. The ph was measured in the field vith a Corning
Model 6l0-A Expand Scale Meter. Depth was measured with a Heathkit Model Ml 1030
Fathometer.

B. Results
It vas discovered that when additional sieving vas gently done using the
0.5 fraction and the waste water sieved through 0.250 on and 0. 180 dm sieves,
that some species did pass through the 0.5 bub screen. It vas proposed that
additional tests be conducted based upon the design used by Reish (1959) and
Heasler and Jvuaars (197^). These tests have "been conducted and the results
are presented in this report.
Sediment analysis was conducted on the samples collected, during the Sep-
tember and October periods. A comparative study vas conducted to determine
the most accurate method of partiele size determination for aninal-sedinent
relationships. The results indicate that dry sieving produces mean grain siaes
in the coarse or medium sand si2e range. Vet sieving clearing demonstrates
that the particle sizes are generally ekeved to the fine sand, silt and clay
fractions. Vet sieving vas recommended for the remaining samples. Neither
vet nor dry sieving is accurate enough to detettalne the difference in small
scale heterogeneity. Microscopic analysis is necessary to accurately relate
species distribution in small areas to sediment differences. Suggested sedi-
ment analysis changes are presented in this progress report after the analysis
of additional data.
The determination of permanent sampling stations and the selection of
representative species are closely related. The criteria for selecting the
species which best represent the South Bay area are those species which have
* high frequency of occurrence, a high mean density, and a lov coefficient of
variation. Based upon the data presented in the November 1975 report the
5
representative species selected were: the "bivalves Gemma gemma« Lyonsia
California» Musculus senhousia. Mactana inouinata and the polychaete, Hetero-
¦HiE+r"* filiformis. At the time of the November 1975 report the final determin-
ation of the amphipod species bad not been established. However, in this report,
using the above criteria, ve have selected the amphipod Ampelisca milleri.
Some of the permanent sampling stations vere chosen according to the dis-
tribution of representative species within each of the thirty preliminary stations.
Only those stations where each of the representative species occurred in three
or nore replicates are listed. The requirements for determining these permanent
sampling stations based on the established representative species information
vere: 1) enough individuals present so that changes in the population densities
vcttld not eliminate the population* and 2) a lov coefficient of variation that
will enable minor population fluctuations to be more easily noticed.
The permanent stations selected are described in Table II and illustrated
on map 2. From a total of 30 stations, only the selected eight stations will
provide any meaningful data on animal populations. The remaining seven stations
vere selected because of their location to the project, i.e., near the diffuser
discharge point or because they vere representative of major sediment clesses.
The efficiency of the Ponar grab (0.05 m2) to collect sufficient abundance
data vas analyzed. It vas found that four replicates would yield a more accurate
analysis of the representative species. A volume of 3.0 liters vas found to
be the 21ir.ir.um recommended to maintain sufficient animal densities per grab.

Size frequency analysis of the selected eight species was demonstrated
in the November 1975 report. Size distribution histograms vere used to
represent the age structure of the selected species. The general assumption
In size distribution analysis, is that age varies linearly with size. Length
and vidth for some species were measured and correlated.

SIEVING EXPERIMENT
The November, 1975 progress report discussed the problems in obtaining
accurate estimates of species abundances when using a 0.5 mm mesh opening as
the smallest sieving screen. It vas proposed that an experiment be designed
to examine the number of individuals that vere lost through the 0.5 am screen
size. The experiment was to be similar to the design used by Reish (1959)
and Hessler & Jumars (197*0. Such an experiment has been nearly completed,
but it differs slightly from the proposed design. The sieving experiment examines
three selected problems concerned with sieving samples of benthic invertebrates
to obtain accurate species abundance data. The three problems are: l) the
effect of preserving the animals before sieving, 2) the accuracy of species
abundance data using a 0.5 mm screen as the smallest screen size during sieving,
as done by Reish and Hessler 6 Jumars, and 3) the accuracy and precision of
species density estimates using a core to sub-sample the larger grabs.
METHODS
Faunal samples vere collected from each of two areas in South Bay on May
11, 1976. Stations 1 and 18 vere chosen because of the numerous small annelids
and thp wide variety of species vitnessed in previous sampling occasions.
Two sampling devices were used, a Ponar grab and an aluminum core for
sub-sampling. The Ponar was the same grab that vas used during the quarterly
sampling dates. 3he sub-sampler had a volume of 0.000308 nt3 (308 ml), an
internal diameter of 6.5 cm, and length of 9.9 cm.
Six grab sanples were collected in each area. Three random sub-samples
9

-------
vere obtained from each grab. Three grab samples vere randomly selected along
vith their respective sub-samples, and preserved with 50/5 formalin before sieving.
The remaining samples vere subjected to "live" sieving. All samples were sieved
through a series of seven, 1 sq.. ft. screens -with openings of 1.000, 0.707*
0.5000, 0.295, O.2H9, 0.180, and 0.119 am. Sieving vas done vit filtered sea
water for the samples that were "live" sieved, and with tap water for the pre-
served samples. After sieving, all samples vere preserved in 20# formalin.
The animals retained on each size fraction were placed into separate containers
and enumerated. Rose Bengal was used to facilitate counting.
Two-thirds of the samples have been enumerated (Appendix VIII). There
vere no animals seen on the 0.119 on screen fraction. The preliminary analysis
completed to date is addressed to the first two of the three selected problems.
The first problem examines the effect of preserving the animals before sieving.
In two different sampling areas, the samples preserved before sieving had a sig-
nificantly higher mean number of animals retained on the sieves than did the
samples sieved "live" (Table III). The magnitude of difference between mean
number of animals retained vas more than doubled in each area. Examination
of the screens during sieving showed that the live animals (particularly the
annelids) would wrap themselves around the wire screen, preventing them from
being rinsed into a container for preservation and counting. Two methods vere
considered to remove a greater number of live animals from the sieve screens.
The first method was to Increase the water pressure which was found to break
the animals apart before rinsing them off the screens. The second method of
removing the animals individually took considerable time and the success of
removing annelids in one piece was very low.

The second selected probleo questions the accuracy of using the 0.5 cw screen
as the smallest sieving screen to characterise some aninal populations encountered
during the study. Appendix VII shovs the percent of animals that were retained
on each of the seven screens. The polychaetes Streblospio benedicti, Eteone
light! and three species of Oligochaetes, Peloscolex aPectinatusf P. herthoidgst
and P_. gabrlellae were the dominant fauna that passed through the 0.5 bo screen
in significant numbers (Table IV).' Because of the time involved in separating
the oligochaete species by microscopic observations of reproductive organs, the
three species are listed together as oligochaetes in the sieve test experiments.
For the unpreserved samples, S^. benedicti had a maximum mean of U6»62% of the
individuals which passed through the 0.5 mm screen. Oligochaetes attained a
mean loss rate of 91.92% and E. lighti. reached a 5*».17* loss rate. The samples
preserved before sieving have a significantly lower loss rate through the 0.5 ma
screen. benedicti had a '27.6h$ rate, oligochaetes hod a and E. jj-fiftti.
had a loss rate. It is clearly evident thejt high percentages of fauna
can be lost by using an improper screen size for sieving certain animals. Even
though the samples preserved before sieving had a lower loss rate, the measured
loss will seriously affect the accuracy of species abundance data by using a 0.5 ma
screen as the smallest opening to characterize some species populations in the
study area.
Although the data has not been completely analyzed, several important
conclusions can be drawn. The animal loss through the 0..5 b® screen necessitates
a closer exaadnation of the accuracy of similarly obtained abundance data.
It is quite apparent that abundance of data should be veiwed at the species level
in relation to sieving characteristics. Abundance of data for those species which
significantly pass through the 0.5 mm screen or any other final sieving screen,
should be carefully considered before being combined with the 1.0 mm screen

data for quantitative analysis. In this case, the annelids were the dominant
infaunc. to pass through the 0.5 nan screen. Therefore, in those areas where the
annelids constitute a major portion of the fauna, a sieving screen size consider-
ably smaller than 0.5 is required to retain the annelid population. Another
important conclusion is the effect of not preserving the faunal sample before
sieving. The difference between the mean number of animals retained on all screen
sizes and screen sizes from 0.5 mm and larger are quite significant. Abundance
estimates made from "live" sieved data is very likely to be a gross under-
estimate.
The percent loss rate discussed presents a considerable error factor when
analyzing the data. It must be decided whether the established error factor
is acceptable. For example, S^. benedicti had a maximum lossrate, or error fac-
tor of UC.62%. The question becomes, is kS.6z% a significant percentage of the
population not to be counted? Tables V and VI have been compiled to simply
demonstrate the effect an error term might have on species abundance data. The
numbers presented are not intended to be definite predictions. The data used to
calculate the tables were from stations 1 and 18 of the May sampling date. The
appropriate error term was used from Table IV to adjust the raw data to its cor-
rected form. The error term used for the preserved data were used. Table V
shows the effect of an error term when standardizing the raw data to nujnbers/m^.
Although all of the data increased proportionately, this table shows a difference
in mean values at the number/a^ level of over 5000 individuals. Table VI demon-
strates the difference in magnitude between using the rav data (#/0.05m^) and
transformed data Very small standard errors in the raw data will account
for very large standard errors in the transformed data. When comparing data with
large standard error terms, only large abundance changes will statistically be
seen.

When modifying raw data to a standardized dimension, such as a square meter,
i basic assumption oust be made about the spacial distribution of the fauna.
Phat assumption is that the distribution in the grab accurately represents the
listribution of the entire square meter. Our experience has shown that most
infaunal distribution patterns are aggregated. Therefore, the spacial distri-
bution in any particular square meter is not homogenous, and the distribution
pattern enclosed in a Ponar grab is not necessarily the same as in a square
neter. An indicator of aggregated distributions is the variance to 'acst: ratio
[s2/t). When this ratio exceeds 1.0, then aggregated distributions are indi-
cated. With values consistently greater than 2.0, Table IV indicates aggregated
listribution patterns. The effect that aggregated distribution patterns have od
iensity estimates, especially vhen magnifying data to a standard dimension, Is
inknovn. The estimated value could be considerably higher or lower than what
the actual value should be. There are tvo ways to minimize the effects Of mag-
nifying the data to a standardized dimension; choose a smaller standard dimen-
sion, and take more samples so that the variance is minimized.
The remainder of the samples vill have to be enumerated before any eon-
3lusions can be drawn as to the accuracy and precision of species density esti—
nates using a core to sub-sample the larger grabs. The planned analysis involves
a nested ANOVA (analysis of variance) as a prelude to finding the number of
replications needed to detect a given "true" difference between means, and also
possibly examining optimum allocation of resources which is similar to a cost
analysis. These analysis, however, aay not necessarily determine the number of
replicates that should be taken, because statistically there is no optimum num-
ber of samples that can be taken. In general, the more samples taken, uhe smaller
the standard error of the mean. This particularly holds true vhen the initial
16
number of samples is small and the number of samples is increased. In examining
seasonal changes in species abundance, the issue for collecting abundance data
is to provide errors of estimates which can then be used to determine if
statistically significant changes have occurred. The number of replicate
samples to be taken depends on other considerations. One is the minimal level
of precision that is to be accepted. Another is the amount of tjime required
to process the samples in relation to the frequency of sampling dates. Addi-
tional samples using the coring device may have to be made for a better deter-
mination of the number of replicates needed.
If the abundance of a species, or a group of species is important in
characterizing the station or area being sampled, then the sieve size selec-
tion is very important when the organisms are small. Table VI illustrates
this point as the most abundant forms at stations 1 and 18 are the small
annelids. In order to characterize these stations, based upon abundance
data, a smaller sieve size would be necessary. In order to increase accuracy
and reduce cost of analysis, small sub-samples should be made.
The important point of the sieve test is that the sampling procedure must
reflect the organism being sampled and the questions asked of the data. Two
or more sampling techniques should be used in future monitoring of the South
Bay area to accurately sample the various animal populations.

QUARTERLY DATA
FIELD DATA
Faunal, sediment particle size, water quality field data and tidal heights
for the first through'third sampling periods are summarized in appendicies I-V.
The faunal list ie composed of those animals retained on the 1.0 mm screen size.
All data vas collected in the same manner as previously described in the November,
197? report.
The 0.5 mm fractions are presently being processed (Appendix VIII). Each
of the 0.5 mm fractions are sub-divided prior to counting for two reasons:
high abundances of animals and the amount of sediment and organic matter in
some of the samples, can be so great that attempts to enumerate the entire
sample vas not practical. In some cases, initial estimates of Streblospio
benedicti and oligochaetes exceeded 10,000 per v?. Therefore, each fraction
is sub-divided into eight sub-samples using a modified sediment splitter. Pre-
liminary analysis showed that the splitter divided a full sieve fraction into
eight nearly equal sub-samples. The analysis consisted of repeatedly splitting
the same set of samples, and counting the animals in all sub-samples. The
design of the splitter is such that the full 0.5 mm fraction is randomly divided
in eight sub-samples in a two-step operation; first dividing the sample in half,
then dividing each half into quarters. Since the preliminary tests showed eight
nearly equal sub-samples, two were chosen from each 0.5 ®m fraction for enumeration.
Table V illustrates the problem of analyzing the 0.5 no sieve fraction from
some stations in South Bay. In order to characterize some of the soft substrate
19
-------
stations where snail annelids are the most abundant, a mailer sieve size should
have been used. The 0.5 nun sieve fraction may have a range of error of T to
92%} therefore, counts will not be accurate. Assuming a 30% error, as shown
in one-test site, out of 911 estimated individuals retained on a 0.5 ®m sieve,
273 will have gone through the sieve. The question now remains, is a 30%
or more error an acceptable level of accuracy for determining change in a
population? It would be our recommendation that the 0.5 job sieve fraction
be analyzed on a presence or absence basis, and the sieve site adjusted
(.2^9 mm) if a monitoring program is to continue in the South Bay area.
SIZE CLASS ANALYSIS
Measurement of the four selected bivalves for size ciass analysis are
complete to date. Length - frequency diagrams for bivalves are shown in Appen-
dix VI. The diagrams for Gemma gemma (Figs. 1-3) clearly shows the size class
increases throughout the 3 sampling periods. These figures indicate that G.
genma reproduces in late summer or early fall because of ¦the increased percent
tage of small size classes in October, and the near absence of small size elasses
in May. The Macoma inqulnata diagrams {Figs. U-5) shows sctte size differences
between stations 1 and 19. Station 19 (Fig. 5) clearly sihows recruitment in
the fall, and a gradual increase in size or growth into spring. Station 1
(Fig. lj), however, does not show fall recruitment or any substantial size in-
creases. There could be a number of reasons for this, fbe environmental and/or
bictic factors affecting M. inquinata are substantially <3ifferent between
station 1, Coyote Creek, and station 19, Mowry Slough entrance. Therefore, we
may be dealing with two independent populations of M. ingninata. A second
explanation might be that extensive migration and emigration is occurring in
station 1 from outside areas, thereby affecting size class determination of only
the population at station 1. The Musculus senhousia and Lyonsia californica
20
decreased so much in January and May that detailed information on growth rates
is not available.
In order to minimize the encountered problems in interpreting si2e class
analysis a separate sampling program should be designed for collecting animals
only for size class analysis, sex ratio determination and selected morphological
study. This type of sampling program would not require replicate sampling or
any particular sampling device. One main requirement would be to simply collect
enough animals so that size class and other determinations could be made. There
is no statistically optimum minimal number of individuals to collect. A minimum
is chosen based on the time it takes to collect, measure and dissect the indi-
viduals. Our experience has shown that at least 50 individuals should be measured
on each sampling data. The problems in interpreting the Macoma data .coul,d be
answered by sampling more frequently. More frequent sampling dates would show
more detail, if a species does have different reproduction times and growth
rates in different areas. Also, frequent sampling dates would greatly decrease
the possibility of missing an entire reproductive"cycle for species with rapid
developmental periods, or recruitment times for those species with continual
Spawning.
The polychaete, Heteromastus filiformis. and the amphipod, Angelica milleri»
have not yet been measured due to difficulties in obtaining accurate measurements.
The typical size measurement for polychaetes is the number of setigers. However,
only the May samples have any number oi whole polychaetes. Therefore, a variety*
of anterior measurements regressed to the numtjer of setigers will be made. If
any of the regressions are significant, then the remaining polychaetes can be
21
H-65
-------
measured for size class determination. Similar difficulties are found with
A. milleri. Partial and badly bent bodies make length measurements unreliable.
Similar regressions will have to be made before the emphipods can be measured.
For impact analysis, additional information would be important to collect
on the selected species. Feeding types and substrate relationships would be
important information not only for possible prediction of change due to stress,
but to relate species abundance fluctuations to nature or man-made changes.
H-66
22
COWENTS ON THE MONITORING PROGRAM
The baseline study now in progress has been designed to describe seasonal
changes in several aspects of population biology of selected species from South
San Francisco Bay. A continuing monitoring program offers the opportunity to
answer selected questions concerning the major species, and to obtain more
detailed information as to the biotic and physical factors affecting these popu-
lations .
Although all the data has not been analyzed, based upon current experience,
a number of suggestions can be made to improve the monitoring program.
1) Sample for and enumerate only the selected species at each of their
respective stations. This will allow more samples to be taken for approximately
the same cost. The samples could then be taken more frequently and/or more
replicates taken, depending on which is needed for each species. A presence or
absence record of the remaining* species collected In the grab can be made. These
observations will bring attention to the possible influx of large numbers of a
species not originally selected from the preliminary study crtteria. The sampling
program could then be changed, if necessax?, to follow the Influx of a species
not originally selected for in-depth study.
2) To use the appropriate sampling techniques for the various species. For
example, in areas where the fauna is largely composed of those species that will
pass through a 0.$ m screen, sub-sample the larger grab and use a smaller screen
size (.2U9 mm). Several species which compose the majority of individuals at
some stations in South Bay can be better sampled with devices smaller than the
Ponar grab by simply increasing the number of replicates. Therefore, a greater
23
-------
number of smaller samples can be taken for approximately the same cost as a few
larger samples, and the level of precision is greatly increased.
3) Use a separate sampling program for obtaining individuals for size
class, sex ratio and morphological analysis. The problems currently encountered
in analysing size class data can be greatly reduced by obtaining a minimal num-
ber of individuals that vill yield sufficient information, and frequent sampling
dates. The frequent sampling dates are a vital necessity during the first year
of a study for size class analysis. Very little, if anything, is known about
the reproduction, fecundity, and growth rates of the ccszuaon Bay area inverte-
brates . Infrequent sampling dates may very well miss entire reproduction cycles*
M In add.ition to we$ sieving, use a technique that will determine the
clay and silt content of the sediment. The majority of the sediment passed through
the smallest screen available for wet sieving. Any significant changes in the
sediment size composition will probably occur in the size range less than 75
microns. In order to more accurately separate the clay and silt fractions, a
flotation separation and/or tnicroscoplc examination could be employed.
5) For the best retention of small annelids, preserve the samples before
sieving. The sieving experiment showed an approximate 50? reduction in the
total number of animals when the samples were "live" sieved.
6) The location of each faunal station was established by sextant triangula-
tion using large and easily visable, permanent landmarks. However, in practice,
the ability to return accurately to the established station under changing weather
and sea conditions (i.e. fog or wind) is not very good. Therefore, ve have been
2b
investigating the use of a scanning sonar system which will detect submerged
markers at a distance of 500 ft. We feel that the use of the scanning sonar
and a short range radar will allow much more accurate repositioning of a small
vessel for long-term studies.
7) Choice of species for monitoring purposes. There are a variety of
factors that should be taken into consideration when choosing individual species
for long-term monitoring projects. Some of these factors to be considered for
each species are the proper sampling device, screen size, frequency of sampling
dates and the number of replicates, and the requirements to obtain accurate
size-class information. It is unlikely that any species will ideally fit all
requirements; however, many of these considerations can be met with some modifi-
cation to the existing sampling design. Project cost has always been recogni*v&
as a major consideration in the overall size of biological investigations. How-
ever, cost alone is not sufficient. Many of the biotic-factors for a monitoring
project can be incorporated into the project at little additional cost. By
incorporating these and any other modifications not yet encountered to biologic
investigation, the reliability of the data increases, and the data can be better
used for comparison purposes at some future time.

FINAL DATA ANALYSIS
Hie overall objective for this project is to conduct a baseline study de-
signed to describe seasonal changes in the population biology of major species
of infaunal and epifaunal invertebrates. The variables measured vere to include
abundance, size and/or age distribution, fecundity, and recruitment.
The sampling program has been designed to obtain as accurate data as pos-
sible in all areas, particularly at the species level. The full extent of the
data analysis for the final report is not yet known. The faunal data will be
presented in various graphs and tables. The graphs will consist of species
abundance over time, size class analysis, and any possible species-species cor-
relations. Table will include the raw and standardized (H/M^) faunal data ben-
thic and water quality field data.
Any faunal community analysis will be designed to characterize the South
Bay area in terms of species-species and/or species-area associations. A va-
riety of techniques can be used for community analysis, correlations, cluster
analysis, trellis diagrams, and factor analysis to name a few. However, the final
results of the sieving experiment may significantly alter any planned community
analysis. It is presently unknown if the analysis will be based on presence-
absence or quantitative data.
Sediment data vill be displayed in tabular form. Statistical analysis of
sediment sizes may not be feasible with such a large portion of the sediment pas-
sing through the 75 micron screen size. It is likely that any significant
changes in sediment size composition will occur in the sizes below 75 microns.

SUMMARY
1). A on® year baseline study of South San Francisco Bay
has been completed. Several aspects of the population biology
of selected species of infaunal invertebrates has been describ-
ed. Measurements of population biology included abundance,
size-class, fecundity and recruitment. Faunal and water samples
were collected quarterly, the water quality data is not present-
ed in this report.
2). Thirty faunal stations with four replicates per sta-
tion were sampled in October, 1975. Fro* these stations, fif-
teen permanent sampling stations were chosen for continued samp-
ling. The selection of the permanent sampling stations were
based on the species abundances and their standard errors.
Five representative species at eight stations were chosen as a
portion of the permanent stations. These species and stations
were: Ctmma gemma - 5, 18, 19j Musaulut aenhoueia - 12, 13j
Lyonsia ealiforniaa - 6, 18, 19; Maeoma inquinata - I, 19i and
Ktteronaetu* filiformit - 19, 20, 30. The remaining six sta-
tions (7,8,9,10,11,25) were chosen because of their location
in the bay in respect to the project.
3). All faunal samples were sieved through 1.0 and 0.S
mm screen openings as specified. It was found that individuals
of a variety of species passed through the 0.5 mm sieve screen.
An experiment was designed to examine the effects of preserv-
ing the animals prior to sieving, and the loss of individuals
through the 0.5 mm screen size. There were two main results of
1
H-148
the experiment. 1). The animals should be preserved before
sieving The magnitude of difference between the moan number»
of animals retained for those preserved before sieving vs. those
sieved live was more than doubled. 2). Significant numbers of
numerically important (abundant) species passed through the 0.5
no screen. The percent number of selected animals passing through
the 0.5 mm screen ranged from 27% - 47% for those animals pre-
served before sieving, and from 46% - 91% for the same species
sieved live.
4). Sediment analysis revealed that from 65% to 95% of
the sediment passed through the smallest screen size of 0.075
mm. Therefore, detailed analysis of sediment changes and faunal
-sediment relationships cannot be made. Examination of sediment
sieving techniques between wet and dry sieving showed that wet
sieving yields a more accurate description of the various sed-
iment size classes.
5). The abundance and size-class data of the selected
species provided for a cursory classification of fauna into
three groups. Group "A" were those species with similar Abun-
dance fluctuations and growth patterns between stations - Ly-
on* ia californioa and Museulus tenhoutia. Group "B* were those
species with different abundance fluctuations, but with similar
growth patterns between stations - Cgmma and "C* those
species with dissimilar abundance changes and growth patterns
between stations - Maeoma inquinata.

t). Analytic of the efficiency of the Ponar grab In this
study Showed that for estimating the toteI number* of individuals
or total species, one replicate is sufficient. The number of re-
plicates needed for any particular specie* was liaiited by finan-
cial considerations to four replicates pet stations.
I. IHTRODUCTIOB
H brief review of the approved scop* of work for this pro-
ject is presented in order to clarify the procedures and objec-
tives of this study. The major objective of this atody was to
describe seasonal changes in the population biology of major
species of infaunal and epifaunal invertebrates. The variables
to be measured included abundance, sise and/or age distribution,
fecundity, and recruitment.
A preliminary seaplingr survey was conducted on September
1, 1973 in South Bay tot 1) familiarise the investigators with
the fauna, substrata and other biological variables, and 2) test
the different saapling equipment, particularly with respect to
faunal sampling characteristic* in areas of major interest, aqd
evaluation of sampling techniques with respect to precision of
estimation of abundances. The first quarter saapllng period in
October, 197S was used to assess the biological nature of the
sampling areas and establish permanent sampling station* which
best represent the objectivee of the study.
The objective described above can be obtained from a suit-
ably designed sampling program. Estimates of the variables have
been made using appropriate statistical sampling designs end
procedures. The data obtained will provide information that
will describe seasonally varying population characteristic*.
Changes in characteristic population biology will be detectable
from comparisons of the aggregate population variables from
«M saapllng period to another. The objective of the study is
4
U.14Q
-------
not to provide inclusive information on all the species pre-
sent. This is rarely practical. The study will concentrate on
species with aggregate sampling and estimation properties (of
the variables Mentioned) which will permit the Most exact esti-
mation of relevant aspects of their ecology.
It should be emphasised that none of the aforementioned
estimates can be categorically obtained fro* sane standard
size of sample or sampling devices. The estimation of simple
standard errors of means of abundances of organisms depends up-
on their underlying distribution in space, and under different
conditions, fewer or more, smaller or larger sample quadrats or
grab sixes can have similar estimation properties. The issue is
to provide errors of estimate* which can then.be used to deter-
mine if statistically significant changes have occurred, inde-
ed, different sised sampling device* can be used at different
times and still provide the requisite test of significance, If,
however, only a small number of specimens are obtained in a
sample designed for estimating abundance, but more are needed
to estimate fecundity, sixe distribution or some other variable,
then either more samples or larger sample sise would have to be
taken simply to get enough specimens for observation. The ob-
jectives of the preliminary and first quarter sampling periods
of the study were to obtain data permitting evaluation of al-
ternate sampling procedures. This evaluation has taken into
account the biological and sampling properties or individual
species chosen for emphasis in the study.

II. METHODS AND MATERIALS
Thirty faunal stations were established in the South Bay
area (Pig. 1) during the first quarter sampling period. Tour
replicate samples were taken at each station for a total of 120
faunal sample*. The location of each faunal station was estab-
lished by sextant triangulation using large and easily visible,
permanent landmarks (Table 1).
The vessel, a 17 ft. Boston Whaler, was anchored for each
station, end four replicate samples were taken using a Ponar
grab. The volume of the grab was 0.0055 m*, with a surface area
of 0.0504 m2. This grab was selected because a larger volume,
heavier grab would be very difficult to handle safely tn shal-
low water from a small vessel. The grab was manipulated by a
crane and a 12 volt battery powered winch attached to the bow of
the boat. Each sample was carefully placed into a plastic con-
tainer and the volume measured with a calibrated ruler.
The samples were fixed in 50% buffered formalin ths day of
collection, and sieved within one week of collection. Each
sample was rinsed through two sisve sites, 1.0 and 1.5 mm as
specified. The fsuna from the two sieve fractions were placed
in separate containers with 70% isopropanol.
On-board sieving wss not used due to its imprsctsbility.
This type of sieving is don* on large vessels that are equiped
with running seawater, and where distances betwesn stations sre
considerable. On-board sieving would require approximately 1

Pacific Environmental Laboratories. The samples were delivered
to the Pacific Environmental Laboratories within six hours of
collection (Standard Methods, 13th edition, page 34). Fifteen
stations with a total of 29 samples per station were made dur-
ing each quarter survey (Fig. 2, Table IX).
Deep water station samples were collected every 3 meters,
starting 0.5 m below the surface. Samples were collected in
PVC Niskin sampling bottles Model 1010, 1.7 liter capacity.
Field measurements included dissolved oxygen (D.O.), tempera-

use. The difference between air and water temperature was less
than S°C. The meter was field calibrated for a chloride con-
centration of 20,000 ag/l. The D.O. readings were corrected for
actual chloride concentrations according to the following for-

Separate water samples were made for chloride concentration in
order to correct D.O. measurements. These samples were analyz-
ed by the Water Quality Laboratory of the Pacific Marine Sta-
tion. Comparison of the results obtained from the Pacific en-
vironmental Laboratories of chloride concentration with those
of the Pacific Marine Station showed no significant difference.
The water temperature was measured with oceanographic re-
versing thermometers (0.001 adjusted) attached to the Nisken col-
lecting bottles. The ph was measured in the field with a Com-
ing Model 610-A Expand Scale Meter. The water used for the ph

III. RESULTS
These results deal with the determination of the permanent
faunal sampling stations, the selection of the area's represents
tive species, and the analysis of' the data to describe the sea-
sonal changes in the population biology of the major inverte-
brate species in South San Francisco Bay. The first quarter
study was conducted in October, 1975 from which 15 permanent
sampling stations and 5 representative species were chosen for
monitoring purposes during the remaining 3 sampling periods.
Independent experiments on particle size and faunal sieving tech
niques, and size class measurements were also performed to bet-
ter the sampling program and to increase our knowledge of the
local fauna. All raw data is listed in Appendix I - VII.
A. fedlment Analysis
Sediment samples were collected during the September pre-
liminary survey, and during each of the four sampling periods.
The sediment samples collected in the September survey were
dry sieved through Taylor round sieves, diameter *7.62 cm, with
mesh openings of 0.600, 0.425, 0.250, 0.125, 0.180 and 0.075 mm.
These mesh sizes correspond to phi units of 0.740, 1.234, 2.000,
2.474, 3.000, and 3.737 respectively. These results, shown in
Pig. 3, indicate mean grain sizes of medium to coarse sand.
These results seemed contradictory with the particle sizes that
were expected to be found. Therefore, a comparative study be-
tween dry and wet sieving was conducted to determine which me-
thod is most accurate for particle size determination for ani-
mal-sediment relationships. Sediment samples collected in Oct-

ober, 1975 at similar stations to those collected in September
were wet sieved using the same sieve openings. These results.
Fig. 4, clearly demonstrate that when the sediment was wet siev-
ed, the particle sizes were generally skewed to the fine sand,
silt, and clay fractions. The disparity in results between the
two sieving methods are most likely related to the fact that
when sediment with large percentages of silt and clay mixed
with organic matter are dried and sieved, the fine particles
form conglomerates which are then retained on the larger sieve
sizes. Wet sieving helps to prevent conglomerates from form*
ing, and thus yields a more realistic size class analysis. The
dry sieve analysis indicates considerable variability between
stations, whereas obvious exceptions for the wet samples are
the stations taken in the channel areas (7,23,24 and 27) where
the oyster shell fragments made up a large percentage, thereby
increasing the mean grain size.
We realize that sediment data from two different months
were compared, however, the difference between the mean grain
sizes for wet and dry sieving is significant. Natural sediment
errosion and deposition largely affects the find sands, clay
and silt fractions. The differences shown here lie in the
coarse to medium sand sizes, which are most likely caused by
the sieving technique.
Neither wet nor dry sieving is

in small areas to sediment differences (Smith, 1975). How-
ever, these techniques are expensive and time consuming, well
beyond the scope of this project. In view of this fact, wet
sieving is the best alternative for a reasonable estimation of
partical size distribution.
A technique for determing differing sand environments is a
scatter diagram of skewness (Gj.) vs. kutosis (G2) taken from
Mason and Folk (1958). Figure 5 is a Gi vs G2 scatter diagram
for the October, 1975 wet sieved samples. Each station is re-
presented by a dot and station number. These results indicate
three sand environments with the channel stations clearly sep-
arated in size characteristics. The fact that many of the sta-
tions are closely grouped did not allow for a clear-cut selec-
tion of permanent sampling stations based upon sediment char-
acteristics alone. The permanent sampling stations were select-
ed in each major division of sediments in order to monitor these
different environments.

B. Faunal Analysis
The invertebrate marine fauna collected from South Bay is
listed in Table HI. A total of 40 species in 6 phyla were found.
The polychaetes were the most diverse group with 45% of the total
number of species* The molluscs and arthropods were nearly equal
in species variety, 22.5% (bivalves - 17.5 and gastropods - 5%)
and 20% respectively.
B.l - The 0.5 inn Sieve Fraction
Many of the 0.5 mm fractions contained large numbers of
oligochaetes, primarily the species Peloeeolex gabriellaeM P.
apeotinatus, and P. nerthoides, These same fractions also con*
tained the polychaetes Streblospio benediati, Polydora ligni,
Psuedopolydora kemptt Eteone lighti, and Exogone lourei, some
small amphipods, and occasionally the bivalve Gemma gemma.
The 0.5 mm fractions were sub-divided prior to counting for
two reasons; the high abundance of animals, and the amount of
sediment and organic matter in some samples, can be so great
that attempts to enumerate the entire sample was not practical.
In some cases, initial estimates of S. benedieti and oligochaetes
2
exceeded 10,000 per m . Therefore, each fraction was sub-divided
into eight sub-samples using a modified sediment splitter. Pre-
liminary analysis showed that the splitter divided a full sieve
fraction into eight nearly equal sub-samples. The analysis con-
sisted of repeatedly splitting the same set of samples, and
counting the animals in all sub-samples. The design of the split-
ter was such that the full 0.5 mm fraction was randomly divided

The results are listed in Appendix VII.
B.2 - Sieving Experiment
The small size of the animals and the high organic content
of the sieve fractions, led us to believe it was possible that
much of the populations of the smallest forms were not compl V
retained on the 0.5 mm sieve. Therefore# preliminary tests were
conducted on some of the fractions to determine if the small
forms would go through the sieve with additional washing. It
was discovered that, when additional sieving was gently done and
the waste water passed through 0.250 and 0.180 ma sieves# that
some of the species did indeed pass through the 0.5 imn screen.
Representatives of the three oligochaete species, the polychaetes
Stvebloapio btntdicti and Exogon* lour mi, nematodes and some os-
tracods were retained on the 0.250 and 0.130 mm sieves. Also,
some small bivalves, Gemma gemma, were also seen on the 0.250
mm screen.
With this information, it was £elt that attempts to deter-
mine abundancies of the smaller animals retained on the 0.5 mm
screen could produce misleading conclusions. Species abundance
estimates could seriously be underestimated, and size class de-
terminations could be misleading. For example, ttuum (1973)
pointed out that in many papers on size class determination
H-160
26
using bivalves, the authors have not selected the right sieve
size for the species being studied. His studies showed that
most of the bivalve larvae collected in the j&tesund (Denmark)
were smaller than 0.5 ran. if a sieve size larger than the spat
is used, the first year class is often reported as spat. This
problem can cause misleading conclusions, particularly in short
duration studies. Nuus (1973) has reported the spat size of a
number of bivalves in the same genus as those in this study are
about 0.4 mm.
It was decided to design an experiment to examine the num-
ber of individuals that were lost through the 0.5 mm screen size.
The experiment was to be similar to the design used by Reish
(1959) and Hessler & Jumars (1974) were replicate samples were
taken and sieved through a series of screens with decreasing
mesh openings from 1.0 to 0.180 mm. Such an experiment has been
designed and nearly Completed, but it differs slightly from
the proposed design by Hessler & Jumars. The sieving experiment
examines three selected problems concerned witIP sieving samples
of benthic invertebrates to obtain accurate species abundance
data. The three problems are: 1) the effect of preserving the
animals before sieving, 2) the accuracy of species abundance
data using a 0.5 mm screen as the smallest screen size during
sieving, as done by Reish and Hessler fc Jumars, and 3) the ac-
curacy and precision of species density estimates using a core
to sub-sample the larger grabs.

METHODS
Faunal samples wars collected from each of two areas in
South Bay on May 11, 1976. Stations 1 and 18 were chosen
because of the numerous small annelids and the wide variety of
species witnessed in previous sampling occasions.
Two sampling devices were used, a Ponar grab and an alum-
inum core for sub-sampling. The Ponar was the same grab that
was used during the quarterly sampling dates. The sub-sampler
had a volume 308 ml, an internal diameter of 6.5 cm, and length
of 9.9 cm.
Six grab samples were collected in each area. Three random
sub-samples were obtained from each grab. Three grab samples
were randomly selected along with their respective sub-samples,
and preserved with 50% formalin before sieving. The remaining
samples were subjected to "live" sieving. All samples were
sieved through a series of seven, 1 sq. ft. screens with openings
of 1.000, 0.787, 0.5000, 0.295, 0.249, 0.180, and 0.119 am.
Sieving was done with filtered sea water for the samples that
were "live" sieved, and with tap water for the preserved samples.
After sieving, all samples were preserved in 20% formalin. The
animals retained on each size fraction were placed into separate
containers and enumerated. Rose Bengal was used to facilitate
counting.
RESULTS
Two-thirds of the samples have been enumerated (Appendix
29
H-161
-------
IV) , There were no animal* seen on the 0.119 mm screen frac-
tion. The preliminary analysis completed to date is addressed
to the first two of the three selected problems. The first
problem examines the effect of preserving the animals before
sieving. In two different sampling areas, the samples preser-
ved before sieving had a significantly higher mean number of
animals retained on the sieves than did the samples sieved
"live" (Table IV). The magnitude of difference between mean
number of animals retained was more than doubled in each area.
Examination of the screens during sieving showed that the live
animals (particularly the annelids) would wrap themselves a-
round the wire screen, preventing them from being-rinsed into
a container for preservation and counting. Two methods were
considered to remove a greater number of live animals from
the sieve screens. The first method was to increase the water
pressure which was found to break the animals apart before
rinsing them off the screens. The second method of removing
the animals individually took considerable time and the suc-
cess of removing annelids in. one piece was very low.
The second selected problem questions the accuracy of us-
ing the 0.5 mm screen as the smallest sieving screen to char-
acterize some animal populations encountered during the study.
Appendix VII shows the percent of animals that were retained
on each of the seven screens. The polychaetes Strebloapio ban-
edieti, Eteone lighti and three species of dligochaetes, Pclos-
coltx apeatinatue, p. nerthoidea, and P. gabriellae were the
dominant fauna that passed through the 0.5 mm screen in signifi-
H-162
30
cant numbers (Table V). Because of the time involved in separat-
ing the oligochaete species by microscopic observations of re-
productive organs, the three species are listed together as oli-
gochaetes in the sieve test experiments. For the unpreserved
samples, 5. btntdioti had a maximum mean of 46.62% of the indivi-
duals which passed through the 0.5 mm screen. Oligochaetes at-
tained a mean loss rate of 91.92% and B. lighti reach a 54.17%
loss rate. The samples preserved before sieving have a signifi-
cantly lower loss rate through the 0.5 mm screen. S, benedioti
had a 27.64% rate, oligochaetes had a 47.66%, and S. lighti had
a 45.48% loss rate. It is clearly evident that high percentages
of fauna can be lost by using an improper screen size for sieving
certain animals. Even though the samples preserved before siev-
ing had a lower loss rate, the measured loss will seriously af-
fect the accuracy of species abundance data by using a 0.5 mm
screen as the smallest opening to characterize some species pop-
ulations in the study area.
Although the data has not been completely analyzed, several
important conclusions can be drawn. The animal loss through
the 0.5 mm screen necessitates a closer examination of the ac-
curacy of similarly obtained abundance data. It is quite ap-
parent that abundance data should be viewed at the species level
in relation to sieving characteristics. Abundance data for
those species which significantly pass through the 0.5 mm screen,
or any other final sieving screen, should be carefully considered
before being combined with the 1.0 mm screen data for quantita-
tive analysis. In this case, the annelids were the dominant
31
-------
infauna to pats through the 0.5 mm screen. Therefore, in those
areas where the annelids constitute a major portion of the fauna,
a sieving screen size considerably smaller than 0.5 mn is re-
quired to retain the annelid population. Another important con-
clusion it the effect of not preserving the faunal sample be-
fore sieving. The difference between the mean number of animals
retained on all screen sixes and screen sizes from 0.5 ram and
larger are quite significant. Abundance estimates made from
"live" sieved data is very likely to be a gross underestimate.
The percent loss rate discussed presents a considerable er-
ror factor when analysing the data. It must be decided whether
the established error factor is acceptable. For example, 5. b*n-
•dieti had a maximum loss rate* or error factor of 46.62%. The
question becomes, is 46.62% a significant percentage of the pop-
ulation not to be counted? Tables VI and VII have been compiled
to simply demonstrate the effect an error term might have on
species abundance data. The numbers presented are not intended
to be definite predictions. The data used to calculate the
tables were from stations 1 and 18 of the May sampling date. The
appropriate error term was used from Table V to adjust the raw
data to its corrected form. The error term used for the pre-
served data were used. Table V shows the effect of an error
term when standardizing the raw data to numbers/m2. Although
all of the data increased proportionately, this table shows a
difference it mean values at the number/m^ level of over 5000
individuals. Table VI demonstrates the difference in magnitude
9 2
between using the raw data (#/0.05nr) and transformed data (#/nr).

Very small standard error* in tha raw data will account for
vary larga standard errors In the transformed data. When com-
paring data with large standard error terns, only large abundance
changes will statistically be seen.
when modifying raw data to a standardized dimension, such
as a square meter, a basic assumption must be made about the
spacial distribution of the fauna. That assumption is that the
distribution in the grab accurately represents the distribution
of the entire square meter. Our experience has shown that most
infaunal distribution patterns are aggregated. Therefore, the
spacial distribution in any particular square meter is not hom-
ogenous, and the distribution pattern enclosed in a Ponar grab
is not necessarily the same as in a square meter. An indicator
of aggregated distributions is the variance to mean ratio (s2/>)
When this ratio exceeds 1.0, then aggregated distributions are
indicated. With values consistently greater than 2.0, Table V
indicates aggregated distribution patterns. The effect that ag-
gregated distribution patterns have on density estimates, es-
pecially when magnifying data to a standard dimension, is un-
known. The estimated value could be considerably higher or lower
than what the actual value should be. There are two way to min-
imize the effects of magnifying the data to a standardized di-
mension! choose a smaller standard dimension, and take more
samples so that the variance is minimized.
The remainder of the sample will have to be enumerated be-
fore any conclusions can be drawn as to the accuracy and preci-
36
sion of species density estimates using a core to sub-sample
the larger grabs. Tha planned analysis involves a nested AHOVA
(analysis of variance) as a prelude to finding the number of re-
plications needed to detect a given "True" difference between
means, and also possibly examining optimum allocation of resour-
ces which is similar to a cost analysis. These analysis, however,
may not necessarily determine the number of replicates that should
be taken, because statistically there is no optimum number of
samples that can be taken. In general, the more samples taken,
the smaller the standard error of the mean. This particularly
holds true when the initial number of samples is small and the
number of samples is increased. In "examining seasonal changes
in species abundanoe, the issue for collecting abundance data
is to provide errors of estimates which can then be used to de-
termine if statistically significant changes have occurred. The
number of replicate samples to be taken depends on other consid-
erations. One is the minimal level of precision that is to be
accepted. Another is the amount of time required to process
the samples in relation to the frequency of sampling dates. Ad-
ditional samples using the coring device may have to be made for
a better determination of the number of replicates needed.
If the abundance of a species, or a group of species is im-
portant in characterizing the station or area being sampled,
then the sieve site selection is very important when the or-
ganisms are small. Table VI illustrates this point as th« most
abundant forms at stations 1 and 18 are the small annelids. In
order to characterize these stations, based upon abundance data.
37
H-165
-------
a smaller sieve size would be necessary. In order to increase
accuracy and reduce cost of analysis, small sub-samples should
be made.
The important point of the sieve test is that the sampling
procedure must reflect the organism being sampled and the ques-
tions asked of the data. Two or more sampling techniques should
be used in future monitoring of the South Bay area to accurately
sample the various animal populations.
B.3 - Determination of Permanent Sampling Stations and
Selecting Representative Specie?
The benthic sampling program for South Bay was designed to
obtain information on the major invertebrates in the area. Per-
manent sampling stations were chosen to monitor the fauna which
best represents the South Bay area. Therefore, the selection
of the permanent sampling stations and the representative spec-
ies is closely related. The financial limits of this project al-
lowed for 30 stations to be initially sampled in October, 197S
from which IS stations would be chosen for continued sampling.
The data used for the selection of the permanent sampling sta-
tions and the representative species was obtained frco the 1.0
mm screen size. Table VIII summarized the pooled species data
for all stations and all replicate samples for October, 1975. The
criteria for selecting the species which best represent the
South Bay area were those species which had a high frequency of
occurrence, a high mean density, and a low coefficient of vari
ation (CV). Coefficients of variation are used to compare the

-------
variances of two or more populations independent of the magni-
tude of their means. The CV is the standard deviation expres-
sed as a percentage of the mean. The selected criteria will in-
dicate which species populations have wide-spread occurrence*
comparatively high densities, and a minimal error factor to al-
low easier determination of population abundance fluctuations.
Based upon the data in Table IX, the representative species are:
the. bivalves - Gemma gemma, Lyonaia ealifernioa, Huaculua ««n-
houaia, Maooma inquinata, and the polychaete - BeteromaetuB f%\~
iformis.
Some of the permanent sampling stations were chosen accord-
ing to the distribution of the representative species within each
of the thirty preliminary stations (Table X). Only those sta-
tions where each of the representative species occurred in three
or more replicates are listed. The requirements for determining
these permanent sampling stations based on the established re-
presentative species information were: 1) enough individual
present so that changes in the population densities would not
eliminate the population, and 2) a low coefficient of variation
that will enable population fluctuations to be more easily no-
ticed.
Without "a priori" knowledge of the range of population
fluctuations for the representative species, the minimal densi-
ties required to maintian a yearly measureable population is not
known. Therefore, representative species have been chosen which
have the largest number of individuals and a low CV.

It is evident from Table IX that any given fifteen stations
will not satisfactorily include all ei9ht representative species.
Thereforei stations were selected which best reflect large num-
bers of the representative species, whether one station for a
particular species or for several species. The following is a
list of the stations and their respective species which were
emphasized during the study: Gemma gemma, stations 5, 16, and 19
Lyonaia californioa, stations 6, 18, 19; Museulua eenhoueia, sta-
tions 12 and 13; Maoona inquinata, stations 1 and 19; and N*t*ro-
maetuo filiformistations 19, 20, and 30.
The selected eight stations will provide the abundance and
size class data for the representative species. Seven more sta-
tions were selected because of their location to the project, i.e
near the diffuser discharge point#or because they were represents
tive of the major sediment classes. These remaining stations
were 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 25 to bring the total number of per-
manent sampling stations up to 15 (Fig. 6).

C. Faunal Abundance Data
The fauna1 abundance data from the 1.0 mm and 0.5 bub screen
sizes for all four sampling periods are shown in Appendixes VI and VII.
The discussion of the faunal data wi.ll be limited to those animals
retained on the 1.0 mm screen fraction. This restriction is not
to imply that those organisms retained on a 0.5 mm screen are
not important. On the contrary, in some of South Bay* Strebloepio
benedicti and the oligochaetes clearly dominated the local fauna.
However, the sieve experiment pointed out that significant individ-
uals of certain species, particularly the annelids, passed through
the 0.5 ram screen. We therefore, have no real knowledge of the
population abundance changes for S. benedicti and other such
organsims because of the loss of individuals. The absence of this
data makes it difficult to include these species in detailed
discussions.
Common to all faunal stations in South Bay were the ubiquitous
species: the polychaetes Reteromaetue filiformis and Strebloepio
benediotit the bivalves Gemma gemma, Lyoneia oalifornica, and
Nueoulu8 senhoueiaj and the amphipod Ampelisca milleri. Of these,
only A. milleri was abundant inside Coyote Creek (station 1).
These species were not always the most abundant species at each
station.
Excluding the ubiquitous species, the fauna of South Bay can
be qualitatively divided into three primary species - location or
species - station groupings. These groupings are based on observa-
49
H-171
-------
tion of the final data, and have been designed for descriptive
purposes. The species listed are the dominant organisms with
respect to each species - station grouping.
The first such grouping is the Coyote Creek area (stations
1,5,6# and 25). There were four dominant species that inhabited
this area. These species were the polychaetes Eteone lighti and
Neanthaa suoeinea, and the bivalves Maooma inquinata and Maooma
balthioa. In fact, #. auooinea was almost absent in other areas
of South Bay, and M. inquinata had its highest abundance at
station 1.
The central portion of South Bay (stations 13,8,19,20, and 30)
had a wide variety of dominant species. The polychaetes B. lighti,
Aayohie elongata and Glyoinde polygnatha were distributed through-
out this region. Nephtye oaeooidea was occasionally present and
Chaetozone sp. and Paeudopolydora kempi were most common on the
northern shore at stations 18,19, and 20. The bivalves M. inquinata
and M. balthioa were present; M. inquinata occurred predominantly
at station 19. Maooma naeuta was also present in small numbers.
Outer South Bay (stations 7,8,9,10,11, and 12) was dominated
by three species of polychaetes and bivalves. Nephtya oaeooidea,
A. elongata, and G. polygnatha were the polychaetes. The bivalves
were M. naeuta, Tapes japonica, and in low numbers were, M. inquinata.
Hephtya oaeooidea and M. naauta, which occurred occasionally in
%
central South Bay, were present in relative abundance In this area.
50
H-172
The shipping channel itself had very few organisms. The
channel consisted largely of oyster shell fragments. The or-
ganism most commonly found was the polychaete Marphyaa eanquinea.
The two polychaetes, H. filiformia and S. benedioti are
both tube builders or sedentary forms, and may require certain
sediment sizes for tube building. Other tube building polychaetes
are A. elongata, P. ligni, Pseudopolydora kempi and Soolelepie
equamatu8. The remaining polychaetes are "free-living" and do not
build tubes. The majority of polychaetes are detritus feeders,
with G. polygnatha, Eteone lighti, E. oalifornioa and S. auooenea
being predators. The bivalves collected in South Bay, with the
exception of the species of Maooma, have short siphons and remain
in the top few cm of substrate. Representatives of the genus
Maooma can burrow down 1.0 m below the surface and can be quite
mobile. M. aenhoueia builds nests, but at the same time can be
highly mobile. The mobility of *. gemma, L. oaliforniea and
Tapes japonioa is not known.
The quantitative data analysis is concerned with the four
representative species. The abundance data for these species are
summarized in Fig. 7 - 11. Mean abundances of all species at all
stations declined from October, 1975 to January, 1976. L. oaliforn-c
at stations 6,18, and 19, had similar abundance fluctuation pattern*
with mean abundances that decreased steadily from October to May,
then increased in August. M. aenhouaia at stations 12 and 13, had
mean abundances that gradually increased after January. M. inquinat

at station 1 had abundance fluctuations similar to L. oalifomioa,
but the abundance changes at station 19 were substantially dif-
ferent. H. filiformie at station 19,20, and 20, and G. gemma
at stations 5,18, and 19 had abundance fluctuations that differed
between stations. These figures suggest two different types of
abundance fluctuation patterns. 1) Those abundances that change
similarly between stations-L. oalifomioa and M. eenhoueia, and
2) those species abundance which fluctuate differently between
stations-#, filiformie, M, inquinata, and G. gemma; in this case,
both types have species abundances that fluctuate significantly
over time.
Measurements of the four selected bivalves for size class
analysis have been performed, and length-frequency diagrams for
the bivalves are shown in Appendix V . The diagrams for G. gemma
(Figs. 1-3) clearly shows that animal size increases throughout
the three sampling periods. These figures indicate that G. gemma
reproduces in late summer or early fall because of the increased
percentages of small sized classes in October, and the near
absence of small size classes in May. The August samples have
not been completely measured due to the large numbers of indivi-
duals. However, observations on the high numbers of small in-
dividuals appear to confirm the late summer reproduction time.
The M. iriquinata diagrams (Figs. 4-5) show some size differences
between stations 1 and 19. Station 19 clearly shows recruitment
in the fall, and a gradual increase in size or growth into spring.
There were too few animals collected in August for any comparison.
60
Station 1 however, does not show fall recruitment; May and August
size class data are very similar, suggesting little or no growth.
The M. eenhoueia population at both stations 12 and 13 substan-
cially.decrease after October, making interpretation of size class
data difficult. From October, 1975 to August, 1976 there is a
substancial increase in size at both stations. The L. oalifomioa
population follows the same overall growth pattern as M. eenhoueia,
i.e. between October, 1975 and August, 1976 there was a substan-
cial size increase of the individuals present.
The polychaete, H. filiformie, and the amphipod, A. milleri,
have not been measured due to difficulties in obtaining accurate
measurements. The typical size measurements for polychaetes is
the number of setigers. However, there were very few individuals
with whole bodies for setiger counts. There was not enough time
to regress anterior measurements to setiger number so the rest
of the individuals could be counted. Similar difficulties were
encountered with A. milleri. Partial and badly bent bodies made
length measurements unreliable.
Combining the abundance data and the size class data revealed
three general groupings of bivalves. Grouping "A" were those
species that had similar abundance fluctuations and growth patterns
between stations, in this case, L. oalifomioa and M. aenhoueia.
There was a significant increase in size for both species after
a substancial decrease in abundance, which suggests that ernmi-
gration occurred. If eramigration did occur, it is not known
61
H-177
-------
whether the species dispersed over a large area or simply
emmigrated to another location. Another explanation for the
significant abundance changes may have been our inability to
accurately re-locate the vessel in the same position for each
station. The size class da^a for both species showed no clear
time of reproduction* It is not know whether the species re
produces once a year, or not. Reproduction may, or may not, be
density dependent-
Group "B" were those species that had different abundance
fluctuations between stations, but that had similar growth pat-
terns between stations. G. gemma is the species in this group.
Growth for this group is evidently related to some factor that
affected the different stations at the same time. This factor
could be physical, seasonal, or density dependent.
M. inquinata represents Group "c", where abundance fluct-
uations and growth patterns both differed between stations.
Evidently there are a variety of factors affecting Af. inquinata
populations. It is also possible that the physical and/or
biotic environment affecting M. inquinata at station 1 is sub-
stancially different from station 19, so that we may be dealing
with two Maooma populations.
It should be noted that these species-growth groupings have
been for descriptive purposes, and are not to be considered as
established associations. Further quantitative data analysis
H-178
62
and possibly more sampling would be required before any such
groupings could be finalized. Cursory as these groupings may
be, they do offer some initial catagorization of the fauna for
future discussion and sampling program design.
-------
D. Ponar Grab Efficiency
The selection of the Ponar grab (0.5 m2) was based upon
the weight of the grab and the ease and safety of use from a
small craft. The South San Francisco Bay is largely a shallow
water area, with some of the faunal stations accessible only at
high tide. This limitation necessitated the use of a small
craft and light sampling equipment.
D.l - Replicate Analysis
The fauna collected by four replicate samples at each sta-
tion was analyzed for grab precision in several ways. Again, the
October, 1975 samples were used for these analysis. The pooled
number of species and individuals for each replicate are shown
in Fig . 12 . The results from pooling the data indicate that
one replicate sufficiently estimates combined species and indi-
viduals as well as four replicates.
However, since the objective of the study is to monitor
selected species, these representative species and their re-
spective stations (October, 1975) were analyzed individually
for replicate precision (Table X ). The samples were grouped
into 2, 3, and 4 replicates for the analysis (sets AB, ABC, and
ABCD). Based upon Table X three replicates per station would
be the minimal for obtaining needed quantitative data for the
study and four replicates would yield a more accurate analy-
sis of the representative species populations.
The use of a larger sampling device in aggregate populations
64
H-179
-------
will increase the probability of increased numbers of rare spec-
ies, and probably increase the mean values of species abundance.
A larger grab will also, concurrently, increase the probability
of a higher standard error of the mean. A higher standard er-
ror of the mean can cause the data to become less sensative to
minor changes in abundance patterns. The use of more replicates
at each station may diminish the standard error to a relatively
constant value. The magnitude of the error factor is dependent
upon the type of faunal distribution in space. Due to the cost
of analyzing each sample, more than four replicates per station
for 15 stations for three more sampling periods was outside the
financial limits of the contract.
D.2 - Volume Analysis
The effect of different grab volumes on obtaining higher
species numbers was tested by correlation using the product mo-
ment correlation coefficient for the representative species col-
lected in October, 197 5. Different transformation of the spec-
ies abundance raw data were used to obtain the highest cor-
relation coefficients. Of the six representative species test-
ed, H. filiformis, M. inquinata, and G. gemma had significant
correlation coefficients (Fig. 13) . Based on the exsisting
sampling program and the presented correlations, to maintain
sufficient animal densities per grab, the recommended minimum
volume is 3.0 liters.

IV DISCUSSION
The results of the sieving experiment showed that the faunal
samples should be preserved before sieving, if it is important
to characterize the abundance of small forms, because numerous
smaller individuals may pass through the 0.5 mm screen size.
Therefore, the selection of screen sizes for sieving can be
important, particularly if detailed information on population
changes or juvenile size data of certain species is required.
This may, in fact, require a variety of screen sizes, and depend-
ing on species abundances, different sampling programs for each
species. Depending on the abundance of a species, fewer or more,
larger or smaller samples may have to be taken to estimate
fecundity, size distribution, or some other variable. Part of
the criteria for selecting the sieve screen size should depend
upon the species to be studied, and the type of information
required for those species. These two considerations must be
based upon the questions which the sampling program is designed
to answer.
The selection of the time frequency for sampling, type and
size of grab, and the sieve screen size must depend upon the species
selected for study. In this study, the frequency of sampling
was established before the selection of species. In some cases
more frequent sampling would have given a more precise insight
to growth rates and size frequencies. Therefore, we would suggest
that in the future, the frequency of sampling be established
after the selection of the species to be studied.
69
H-181
-------
This study has revealed the need for the improvement of
sediment analysis and the process of re-location of the vessel
during sampling. The data has shown that wet sieving sediment
samples yields a more realistic sizing of sediment particles..
If detailed knowledge of animal-sediment relationships are
required, then an accurate description of sediment size is
essential. In recent studies we have found that most small
scale sediment changes take place in the finer fractions, there-
fore, more accurate analysis of the finer fraction must be made.
In general, the objective of performing a baseline ecolog-
ical study is to provide background information of the fauna in
respect to natural abundance fluctuation, species growth, fecundity
and distribution. In additiqp, tenative associations between
different species, and species with physical and/or biotic
factors may be made. The data analysis performed in this report
is one method to satisfy the aforementioned objectives of a
baseline study. The South Bay fauna was described in two ways.
The area was divided into four major species-location groups to
characterize the species distributions. The major species,
selected from the initial sampling period, were then divided
into associations of similar and dissimilar changes in abundance
and growth patterns. These associations and groupings can then
be examined in detail in future studies to determine if they do,
in fact, exist over a period of time.
This data can be used as baseline information for the
70
H-182
invertebrate infauna in South Bay. Studies done in the future
can then compare data to observe if any significant changes
in the invertebrate community has occurred.

Dear Carol)
Enclosed is the data for the first sampling effort for
the South Bay project. The cheaical assays have been completed
for the second effort and the data will be forewarded to you
within 1 week to 10 days.
Any questions concerning the data should be accompanied
by both the sampling number and laboratory descriptor.
Sincerely,

William G. Rots

INTRODUCTION
The field work for the data presented here was performed during
the period of August 23 -25, 1977. Methods and frequency of sample
collection were as those designated in the Bay Study Specifications
dated December 5, 1977. Concerning assay of the samples, dissolved
oxygen, p.h., temperature and salinity were determined in the field
by E.H. Smith 1 Associates. Prior to the sampling effort, the D.O.
meters and salinoaieter used for these determinations were calibrated
against the Winkler and silver nitrate titrations, respectively.
Unusual salinity values were verified by titration from collected
samples shortly after return from the field. The remaining para-
meters specified for assay were processed by the Pacific Marine
Station Water Quality Laboratory, Dillon Beach, Ca. These perameters
are marked by an asterisk (*) and the samples assayed are accompanied
by a laboratory descriptor number. Field semples were preserved
sccording to the methods recommended by the water quality laboratory,
and were returned for essay within a few hours efter collection.
The data are arranged by parameter and are grouped eccordlng
to source evaluation. Explanation of the labeling systems and
additional information pertinent to sampling for each source eval-
uation is presented in sections I, II end III.
Concerning D.O. measurements taken in the sloughs, it wes
observed that the concentration of oxygen in Newark Slough was not
uniformly distributed throughout the water column. For example,
at 1500 hours, the oxygen measurement taken at the surface wes 10.4
mg/1, whereas 7.3 mg/1 was observed near the slough bottom.
-------
Intro, page 2
Similarly at 17oo hour*, the surface oxygen value vaa 11.9 09/1
and decreased with depth to 5.5 ng/l near the bottom. This trend
haa been investigated further in aubaequent studies for all three
•loughs. The rsaulta of the atratified measurements will be given
in a future report.
Labeling System*
1 Diffuse Source Load Evaluation
Samples for the above evaluation were collected on August
24, 1977. The labeling ayatea i» as follows:
824 No - 1-6
824 He - 1-6
824 FT - 1-12
The firat three digita indicate dete of sampling. The letter
code for the sampling sites areI Howry Slough (Mo), Newark
Slough (Ne), and Paber Tract Harsh (PT). The last number
indicates the sequence of sample collection, e.g. samples
1 through 6 or 1 through 12.
Slough Hydrology
Neutrally buoyant driffter bottles were used for the determinationa
of water velocity at the time of sasiple collection. The
reliability of the drifters aa velocity Indicators was tested
prior to sampling using fluoronetric techniques. Depths of the
sloughs at a given time were read directly from a stag* rod
installed in the deepest part of each slough. Cross sectional
area was derived fro# measured width of each alough and from
bottom profiles determined with a recording fathometer. Flow
ratea of each slough are presented as ftVeec (cfa).
Intro, page 3
II Receiving Water
The labeling scheme for the receiving water sampling is
as followa:
825 RW - 31 - I
Again the first three digits refer to the date of collection.
RW - 31 indicates the grid number repreeenting the location
of the receiving water station. The Roman numeral denotes
the number of times the grid location was sampled. As indi-
cated on page II-2, five stations were not sampled because
of poor weather conditions. Two other stations were found
to be inaccesible by boat and land. Adjustments have since
been made at theae locations and samples have been collected
for theae grida during the second phase of the project.
III Point Source Loading Evaluation
Samples from four point source locations were collected over
a 24 hour period on August 23-24, 1977. At Palo Alto, Union-
Newark, Union-Irvington, and San Jose, samples were collected
every 4 hours. Because of technical problems, the Sunnyvale
plant did not participate. Samples were returned to the
Water Quality Laboratory and a representative sample was
composited prior to assay using the flow data submitted for
each time of collection. Three os the six samples submitted
by Union-Irvington had no flow data. It was necessary to
aaaay each of the three samples individually. These samples
are accompanied by laboratory descriptor numbers. The Irvington
composite was proportioned from three samples.
H-333
-------
Intro, page 4
The labeling scheme for the point source samples is as follows
82324 U-N
82324 U-Ir
82324 SJ
82324 PA

Introduction
The sample* for this effort ware collected during the period
of 9/13-15/77. Collection methods, preservation, and aaaay of
samples were conducted as described in the first South Bay Report.
D.O.. temperature, pH, and salinity were Measured "in situ" by
E.H. Smith i Associates. The parameters denoted by an asterisk (*)
were assayed by the Pacific Marine Station Hater Quality Laboratory.
Information pertaining to sampling for each source evaluation is
discussed below under the appropriate section.
Diffuse Source Loading evaluation
Samples for diffuse source evaluation were collected on 9/14/77.
The labeling system for the slough samples is as follows!
914NO-1-S
914W-1-6
914PT-1-6
The first three digits refer to the date of collection) the letters
code for the location (Mowry, Newark, or Faber Tract)i the numbers
denote the order of sampling.
Receiving Water Monitoring
Sampling of the receiving water stations were collected on
9/14/77. Sample numbers include the date of collection, station
grid number, and the number or times the grid was sampled. Station
31-IXI was not sampled due to poor weather conditions. Because of
inaccesibility, station 100 could not be sampled.
H-352
Point Source Loading Evaluation
Data for the point source evaluation is incomplete. Samples
from the Union-Newark and San Jose facilities were composited from
flow data and assayed as a single sample. The samples from Sunnyvale
were coeiposited at the facility and were submitted as a single
representative. Because of a lack of flow data, samples from Palo
Alto and Union-lrvington had to be assayed individually. A number
of these samples were improperly preserved and could not be assayed.
The deletions are denoted by "N.O." (No Datum). Among these are
included data for ammonia nitrogen, organic nitrogen, nitrate, and
TOC from samples collected at the Union-lrvington facility. The
labeling scheme for the samples includes the date of collection,
letter code for the treatment facility, and order of sample collection
(where applicable).

Osar Carol*
The field collection* for the fourth and final quarter for South Bay
Dischargers wers collected during the period of 11/15 - 11/ 1?, 1977. The
labeling system for the various sources are as explained in previous reports.
Due to inaccessibility, two receiving water atations (grids 41 and 100)
could not be sampled. As for point source samples, all wers recsived in good
order along with information required for sample composition.
Also enclosed la the benthal demand data with a brief explanation of
mthods and Materials and data presentation.
A final rsport la pending. The report will include methods and materials
for tha banthal demand analysis, and for the water quality monitoring of
South San Francisco Bay.
Sincerely,
William G. Rot*

Since replicate cores were collected at each station, certain basic sample
statistics have been performed.
The data have been suamarited as described to facilitate single data point

Dear Carol,
Please find enclosed a preliminary report on the Sou
marsh study. We have attempted to point out area® of
and ones that might have Bome bearing on the model ve
results.
When we have more time to go over the marsh liter
more detail we will look at other factors beside the D.O.
aaI view ooint should be
complete review of the data from a non-moae
,n.iVeiB. but did not
made. We had hoped to complete this type
have the time to complete it.
We trust the enclosed analysis will be some help to you
Pleting the report, and in relating the model reverifica
field conditions. If you have any questions, please
Sincerely yours,

REVIEW OF MODEL VERIFICATION DVTA

CLEAN WATER GRANT PROJECT
(FIELD STUDY FOR MATHEMATICAL MODEL REVERIFICATIQN)

SUMMARY
1) From August-November, 1977 four separate, yet interrelated,
water quality sampling programs were performed. These
programs were: Point Source Loading Evaluation, Receiving
Water Monitoring, Diffuse Source Load Evaluation, and Benthal
Demand Analysis. Data obtained from these programs were used
to reverify the mathematical model of Hydroscience, Inc.
2) D.O., temperature, and salinity data from this study, an
ongoing USGS study, and from a 1975-1976 survey by E. H. Smith
and Associates indicated that vertical stratification of the
water column did not occur. However, as indicated by Kelly
and Tippets (1977), high unregulated Delta outflows will cause
vertical stratification at Dumbarton Point.
3) Three sloughs were sampled to provide data for reverification
of marsh loading by the mathematical model: Newark Slough,
Mowry Slough, and Faber Tract Marsh. The pecularities of San
Francisco Bay may prohibit the South Bay marshes from being
characterized by "standard" marsh classification. The distinct
wet and dry seasons normally occurring; and according to Hinde,
(1954) the development of South Bay marshes on alluvial fans is
peculiar to San Francisco Bay which complicates classification.
4) The areal marsh coverage was calculated from USCS naps updated
by recent aerial photographs. From the sampling site, the
H-408
pre:l:";:;ary
upstream and downstream marsh area for each slough was:
Mowry Slough, 0.89 and 0.47; Newark Slough, 0.13 and 0.77;
Faber Tract .March, 0.09 and 0.0 rri*, respectively. In some
cases, the calculated areas are larger than those used by
Hydroscience, Inc.
5) At Mowry and Newark Sloughs, marsh flooding does not occur on
every high tide each day. Some days the marsh floods on one
high tide, and other days on both high tides. Futhermore,
there are days in which marsh flooding does not occur at all.
Parts of the Faber Tract Marsh area will flood daily. Th*
duration and extent of marsh flooding for all three areas is
dependent on the daily tidal cycle.
6) Examining the D.O. and salinity data obtained in each slough,
it was observed that a different daily regime occurred in each
slough. The salinity regime was attributed to the Bay salinity
for Faber Tract Marsh; and probably a fresh water input upstream
of the sampling site in Newark Slough, and downstream of the
sampling site on Mowry Slough. D.O. was correlated to a variety
of water quality parameters. The lack of recurrent significant
correlations during the four sampling dates indicates that
none of the selected water quality parameters, alone, is
significantly associated with changes ir. D.O.
7) D.O. values in the water column of Newark Slough varied with
depth. During October, 1977 the D.O. values were observed to
proportionally decrease with increasing depth.
-------
pk£l::::;;ary
3) Incoming tidal water st Newark and Mowry Sloughs may be
affected by movement; through 4 to 5 miles of marsh prior to
the sampling site. Therefore, this water may not necessarily
reflect Bay water conditions. Incoming water at Faber Tract
Marsh comes directly from the Bay.
9) Benthal demand data showed substantial variation betwee
cores and between areas at the same temperature. Measure
ments of oxygen uptake increased with higher temperatur
10) The values for oxyg,n uptake from the benthal demand analysis
as described, were found to be comparable to those me
by other authors under similar experimental conditi
11) No detailed information was available *or compariso
benthal demand analysis to that performed by Hydroscien
in 1967. No indication was given by Hydroscience, Inc.
how their single value of 0.1 gm/mVday derived as being
representative of South Bay. The variability in oxygen uptake
measurements as a result of between core variance p
ature, and between areas (as observed by us, was not addressed
in tho r-^cont Hydroscience, Irtc. report.

Inc. All data has been reviewed by the Special Studies Unit of
the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCBJ and the

PRELpr"?jj|R y
In 1975-1976, E, H. Smith & Associates (1977) made a one year
survey of the marine invertebrates of South Bay. It was found
that there were several different faunal assemblages in South Bay.
As part of the study, particle size analysis was performed. The
overall conclusion from the particle size analysis was that South
Bay consisted mainly of clay and silt, with over 90% of the
sediment routinely passing through a 0.063 rara sieve.
Nichols (1977) investigated the infaunal biomass in relation to
the productivity of a mudflat. This study was performed near the
Palo Alto Yacht Harbor. According to Nichols, river input is
very small in South Bay, and should be considered a secondary
source of organic roatter for mudflats. Of more importance are the
resuspension and tidal transport of the surface sediment, which
play an essential role in food supply and regeneration of dis-
solved nutrients. Nichols also mentioned that the breakdown of
marsh plant material may take several months before the organic
constituents are fully available to mudflat animals.

2.0 METHODS AND MATERIALS
The field sampling program for the mathematical model reverification
was divided into four phases: Phase 1, Point Source Loading
Evaluation; Phase 2, Receiving Water Monitoring; Phase 3, Diffuse
Source Load Evaluation; Phase 4, fienthal Demand Analysis. Water
samples for Phases 1-3 were collected within a two day period once
each month from August-November 1977. The dates and time of
sample collection accompany all data previously submitted. A
complete description of the sampling design and water quality
determinations vas itemized in the state specifications for this
project. A summary of the collecting methodology is presented.
2.1
Phase 1 - Point Source Loading Evaluation
Composite samples for chemical assay were collected at four hour
intervals for 24 hours once each month by five dischargers: Palo
Alto, Sunnyvale, San Jose, Newark-Irvington, Newark-Union. In
addition to collecting the water samples, measurements of D.O.,
temperature, pH, and flow rate were made by the dischargers for
each sampling interval. These water samples were then flow
proportioned at the water quality laboratory prior to assay;
except for the samples collected by Sunnyvale, which were flow
proportioned on site during collection.
2.2
Phase 2 - Receiving Water Monitoring
Fifteen sampling stations were selected based upon the grid array
3
H-412
PREL'C;"'ARY
developed for the mathematical model of Hydroscience, Inc. (Fig. 1).
Of these 15 stations, five were selected for sampling at four hour
intervals during the daylight tidal cycle: grid numbers 31, 137,
20, 8, and 4. The remaining 10 stations were sampled once when
accessible (i.e. water depth limitations). The selection of all
stations, and the five stations for repeated sampling, were approved
by Hydroscience, Inc. All receiving water samples were collected
during a single day. Field measurements of D.O., temperature,
salinity, and pH were made with portable field meters.
2.3
Phase 3 - Diffuse Source Evaluation
Three sloughs were selected for this phase. Selection criteria for
the three sloughs were- that two sloughs shall be significantly
influenced by marshlands, and the third shall represent a slough
without extensive marshland. The three sloughs were selected by
representatives of E. H. Smith t Associates, the SWRCB, and the
SFBRWQCB during a field survey. During this survey it was observed
that virtually all sloughs in South Bay were surrounded by marsh-
land, and that many sloughs were not accessible by land or boat.
Therefore, the following areas for Phase 3 were selected according
to accessibility: Howry Slough (Grid 4126), Newark Slough (Grid #130),
and Faber Tract Marsh (no grid number). The specifications stated
that during the 12 hour sampling interval t.ach month, only one of the
three sloughs was to be sampled at hourly intervals. The remaining
two sloughs were to be sampled every two hours. The objective of this
phase was to examine the effects of marshland loading. Of the three
4
-------
PRCLIKMARY
preliminary
sloughs chosen, Faber Tract Marsh most closely represented an
"extensive marsh", and was therefore selected as the site for
hourly sample collection. The term "extensive marsh" refers to a
large scale extensive marsh inland of the sampling site, and open
bay water immediately seaward of the sampling site.
Measurements of D.O., temperature, salinity and pH were made by
field meters. In addition to the water quality sampling, the flow
rate of water in each slough was obtained in the following manner.
Neutrally buoyant drifter bottles were used for the determination
of water velocity. Depths of the sloughs were read directly from
a stage rod installed in the deepest part of each slough. Cross
sectional area was derived from the measured width of each slough
and from bottom profiles determined with a recording fathometer.
Flow rates of each slough were presented in ft3/sec (cfs). A
description of the sampling sites in each slough is given in
Section 4.1.
The reliability of the drifters as water velocity indicators was
tested prior to sampling using fluorometrio techniques. Fluorescent
dyes have been used for many years to accurately measure stream
velocity. A slough of the Petaluma River was chosen for the test
area. Several drifter bottles and one liter of 1.0g/l fluorescent
dye (pontacyl pink) were simultaneously released into the slough
at the same location. Ten yards downstream, discrete water
samples were collected every 20 seconds to determine dye concen-
tration, and the time required for the drifters to travel the

same ten yards was noted. This procedure was repeated several
times. It was found that a nearly identical time period was re-
quired for the drifters, and for the maximum dye concentration
to travel 10 yards. It was concluded that the drifter bottles
would serve as a reliable means of measuring slough water velocity.
2.4
All water samples for chemical assay were delivered to a certified
laboratory, Pacific Marine Station-Water Quality Laboratory,
within six hours after collection was completed. During collection
and delivery, samples were maintained at approximately 4°C. in
coolers. All samples were preserved immediately upon collection as
specified by this laboratory.
Field measurements of 0.0. were made using YSX D.O. meters.
Salinity measurements were obtained with YSI S-C-T meters, and pH
determined by a Corning pH meter. Prior to each sampling effort
the D.O. meters and Balinometer were calibrated at our facility
against the Winkler and silver nitrate titrations, respectively.
Unusual salinity values were verified by titration from collected
samples shortly after return from the field.

PRELIMINARY
3.0 VERTICAL PROFILE - CENTRAL SOOTH BAY
Substantial vertical stratification of the water column in South
Bay, as commonly determined by changes in salinity, did not occur
during the August-November 1977 sampling period. In November, 1977
measurements of D.O., temperature, and salinity were obtained at
three depths for nearly all receiving water stations. Examination
of this data (previously submitted) indicated very minor changes
of these parameters at each station.
Recent data, 1978, on these same three parameters, vertically
profiled at 1 meter depths, was obtained from an ongoing USGS Water
Quality Monitoring Program throughout San Francisco Bay. USGS
began sampling in February at two week intervals at 11 stations in
the Bay. The only station, No. 11, located in lower South Bay Is
at Dumbarton Point. A summary of this preliminary data for tem-
perature, and salinity is presented in Fig. 2. In most cases,
each of the water quality measurements varied slightly {1-2 units)
along the depth profile. Temperature increased over time, with a
mean value of 11.5°C. in early February, to 16.9°C. in late April,
with no recurrent pattern in temperature change with respect to
depth. Dissolved oxygen remained fairly constant, 8-9 ppm; the
range of D.O. values varied slightly according to depth, 0.5-2 ppm.
Although there were no consistent trends in D.O. change and depth,
it was interesting to note that the D.O. values were generally
greatest at mid-depth, and lowest at the water surface and near
bottom. Salinity consistently increased with greater depth; with
the salinity increases being minor, 1-2 ppt. From February to

early April, the mean salinity steadily decreased from 21.2 to
17.2 ppt. The salinity then increased slightly to 17.9 ppt. in
late April.
In the 1975-1976 survey by E. H. Smith & Associates (1977), 15
stations were sampled quarterly for a variety of water quality
determinations. These determinations included D.O., salinity,
and temperature. At six of the 15 stations, samples were collected
at 3 m depth intervals. This data also showed that vertical
stratification of D.O., salinity, and temperature did not occur.
It is apparent from our data, and that obtained from the USGS,
that the water column in lower South Bay is not substantially
affected by vertical stratification. However, as indicated by
Kelly and Tippets (1977), high unregulated Delta outflows do
stratify the water column in South Bay. After reviewing several
years data, the authors observed that high Delta outflows of 7.3 maf
in January 1969, and 9.3 maf in February 1969 reduced surface
salinities in South Bay from a normal 30 ppt down to 8-12 ppt.
They concluded that Delta outflows near 7 maf/month are probably
required to stratify salinity in the southern half of South Bay
(presumably near the Dumbarton Bridge). The effect of these high
Delta outflows on the salinity stratification in the water south
of the Dumbarton Bridge was not discussed.

4.0 Marsh Areas o£ South Bay
Descriptions of the variou* marshlands in San Francisco Bay are
not abundant in scientific literature. Studies of marshland
vegetation and ecology are more prevelant on the East Coast of
the United States and in Europe (particulary England). To date,
the most recent published account of salt marshes of San Francisco
Bay found is by Hinde (1954), preceeded by Cooper (1926).
Hinde s study area was inmediately north of the Palo Alto Yacht
Harbor, in the near vicinity of Faber Tract Marsh. This marsh
studied by Hinde was built upon the alluvial fan of San Franisquito
eek. Hinde noted that the development of salt marshes on
fans may be a characteristic peculiar to San Francisco Bay.
main types of vegetational associations were found by Hinde:
oorniatum - with the dominant species being the glasswort
SalioornU ambigua in the 10.4 - 6.41 ft. above M.L.L.W.,
P rtinctum, with the cordgrass Spartina leiantha being dominant
within the 8.4 - 5.4 ft- i.v>1 above M.L.L.W.; and
3) "itUakliJttuiif, with Diitiohlit ipioata in the 10.3 - 7.15 ft.
L.L.W. being the dominant vegetation. Although the marsh
9 ion was summarised as above, Hinde could not clearly define
the upper and lower marsh rones, si„c. nearly all level, were
rged during nearly all high tides. The division of uppe- and
marsh zones is commonly performed for salt marshes in Europe
the East Coast of the United States. Hinde identified a
of 10 species occurring throughout the marsh.

upper end of the slough waa apparently not in uae, and that vege-
tation was growing in this area. The photographs showed that the
area south of the Southern Pacific Railroad, on the eastern side
of the slough, is alao marsh. The distance inland that this marsh
extends could not be determined from the photographs.
Figure 3 typifies the Newark Slough Harsh. There are many tri-
butaries, some of which can be several feet deep, in the marsh.
These aasist in marsh draining and flooding, particularly the area
near the salt pond dikes. During the October, 1977 sampling, a
relatively high tide occurred, flooding the entire marsh area shown
in Fig. 3.
4.1.2 Howry Slough
Tha aerial photographs and observations from land revealed that the
six mile length of Howry Slough has marsh along both aides. The
sampling site was five miles from the bay, and is shown in Fig. 4.
The bottom topography of the sampling site is shown in Fig. 12
(Section 4.3.1.) As with Newark Slough, many tributariee in the
marsh assist in flooding and draining. During the October, 1977
sampling, the high tide flooded the entire marsh to the salt dikes
(Fig. 4)- 7116 upper reach of Howry Slough is now marsh, instead
of a salt pond (Fig. 5), as indicated in the USGS maps. A housing
development, also not shown in the DSGS maps, now exists in this
area. Figure 6 shows marsh alongside the Southern Pacific Railroad.

4.1.3 Faber Tract Marsh
The 1961 USGS map shows Faber Tract Slough as being entirely mud.
Infrared aerial photographs of this area clearly show an extensive
marsh. A representative illustration of Faber Tract Marsh (Fig. 7)
was compiled from several of the photographs (Figs. 8-11). The
diking around Faber Tract Marsh suggests that this was designed as
a salt evaporator pond. According to Hinde (1954) by 1929,
270,000 cu. yds. of mud was deposited from the construction of the
Palo Alto Yacht Harbor in the area north and west of the yacht basin.
In 1936, levees were raised around much of the shoreline of the Bay,
resulting in 240 acres in which the silt from San Francisquito
Creek was deposited. Since 1949, large sections of the diking has
eroded, allowing the sea to gain access to the impounded area.
In general, Faber Tract Marsh is triangular in shape, with the
sampling site located at the mouth of the marsh, or apex of the
triangle, adjacent to the bay. The bottom topography of this
sampling site, shown in Fig. 14 (Section 4.3.2), and does not at
all represent the topography of the marsh.
Faber Tract Marsh is basically a basin, with marsh vegetation on
the bottom and continuing up along the sides to the dikes. Cur
observations indicated that there is only one entrance and exit for
bay water, this being where the sampling site was located. From
the aerial photographs, it is evident that the many tributaries
allow for substancial marsh flooding.

Part* of the marsh in thi» basin flood avery day. However, the
amount of area flooded could not be determined (Section 4.3). The
sampling site was located at the opening in the levee approximately
12 ft. above the slough bottom. With sampling occurring every hour,
it was infeasible for the sample collector to drive around the marsh
to make the necessary measurements for areal flooding.
4.1.4
Wide variations in flow rate were measured in each slough. Appendix
I summarizes the slough hydrology data, where neutrally buoyant
drifter bottles wsra used as water velocity indicators. Range of
flow rate for each slough weret 5.13-363.8 cfa for Mowry Slough;
11.4-591 cfs for Newark Slough; and for Faber Tract Marsh, <5-840 cfs.
Observation of maximum flow rates generally occurred during
the tidal period from high-high to low-low. Observations shoved
that the water movement in the sloughs waa very similar to rivers
and streams, with reversed eddie currents occurring near shore.
Water striking projections of the slough bank would result in sed-
iment erosion. Times of least water clarity were observed to coin-
cide With the high flow rates; probably a result of bottom and slough
bank sediment resuspension, and suspended particles in the bay
water entering the slough.
4.1.5
Appendix II shows the wide variations of non-filtrable and filtrable
residue. Aa previously mentioned, the water clarity appeared to
decrease during high flow rates. During slack water the sampling

aite in Faber Tract Harsh, a brown film presumably sediment,
covered relatively large portions of the water surface, and
would be carried into or out of the aursh as the flow rate increased.
The bottoa sediment in each slough was very soft. In fact, at
Howry and Newark Sloughs, it was virtually impossible to walk on
the slough bottom without a platform for support. At the end of a
days' sampling, these platforms were usually several inches below
the sediment surfact.
4.1.6
Field observations showed that Faber Tract Marsh was the only area
with visable marine life inhabiting the marshland. During low
tides, the gastropod Naaaariut obtolttu* would graze at the water's
edge. This species appeared to be the most abundant marine macro-
invertebrate present. The bivalve Itehadium damiaaum occurred in
amall numerous patchea in the higher marsh elevations not flooded
by sea water every day. Other fauna included amphipods, inhabiting
water filled depressions in the marsh; and the isopod Gnorimoaphaarom
sp., which bored into the hard packed mud bank of the levee at the
sampling site. The dominant vegetation, in all three areas, appeared
to be Salioornia.

4.2 MARSH COVERAGE
General observations of the marsh at each of the three slough
sampling sites were made during the study period. The most recent
USGS naps available for South Bay were revised in 1961. It was
evident from our observation* (Section 4.1) that there is more
marsh area surrounding each slough than indicated by these maps.
Therefore, a series of aerial photographs, taken in April, 1978,
were used to up-date the USGS map for marsh area at each slough.
The up-dated USGS maps were used to calcualte marsh area at each
slough. Since the marsh at the mouth of Newark Slough extends to
the Bay, the downstream marsh area calcualtions were terminated at
37° 30' 22" latitude (junction of Newark Slough and Pluraner Creek).
These calculations are sumaarized in Table I.
Hydroscience also computed upstream marsh coverage. Becauae of
difficulties encountered in helicoptor scheduling for the aerial
photography, the submission of photo up-dated maps of the study area
could not be effected in time for Hydroscience to use these maps for
the calculation of marsh area.
Except for Howry Slough, there is good agreement between our cal-
culation of marsh area, and those made by Hydroscience. The large
difference (0.59 sii1) for the upstream marsh area in Mowry Slough
is most likely the result of the added marsh area revealed in the
aerial photographs (Section 4.1.2).

4.3 MARSH SUBMERGENCE
Estimates of the frequency of marsh submergence for Mowry end
Newark Slough* have been mad* in the following Banner. On several
occasions, the water depth, as obtained from the stage rod, waa
observed when the marsh surrounding the sampling aite was beginning
to flood. A time-height at the Golden Gate was calculated by
examining the hydrological data (Table IX). This data, along with
the field observations of slough depth at marsh flooding, was usad
to estimate submergence frequency for each slough (Table III). It
should be noted that the field observations of slough depths and
marsh flooding were made as general observations, since marsh
submergence frequency was not required in the project specification.
He realize that in order to obtain accurate and reliable calculations
of the frequency and area of marsh submergence, detailed measurements
of marsh tidal heights would have to be made.
4.3.1 Mowry and Newark Slough
The bottom topography at the sampling sites (Figs. 12-13) typifies
that of the main channel for Mowry and Newark Sloughs. The sur-
rounding marsh is a relatively flat expanse on both sides of the
channel. There is very little, if any, marsh vegetation on the
banks of the channel. Therefore, when the water depth reaches the
top of the channel, only a few more inches of water depth are re-
quired to flood much of the marsh.
4.3.2 Faber Tract Marsh
The bottom topography of the sampling site (Fig. 14) does not at
all reflect the topography of this marshland. As previously de-

These calculations refer only to the four months of the study. It
is evident from this table that Mowry and Newark Sloughs do not flood
every day, and that generally, only one of the two daily high tides
occurring in San Francisco Bay will cause marsh flooding. Although
partial marsh flooding occurs daily in Faber Tract Marsh, the extent
of areal submergence depends on the daily tidal cycle. For all three
marsh areas, the duration and extent of marsh submergence is dependent
on the daily tidal cycle.

scribed (Section 4.1.3), the marsh area is somewhat triangular in
shape, with the sampling site located at the apex. Only limited
observations of marsh flooding could be Bade. Very little of the
marsh was visible from the sampling site. What was noted was that
partical flooding of the marsh occurred during each sampling effort.
The degree of marsh flooding could not be determined.
4.3.3
It is evident that daily marsh flooding at Howry and Newark Slough
did not occur during the four months of the study (Table III).
Sail Francisco Bay has a mixed semi-diurnal tidal cycle, generally
resulting in two high and two low tides each day. For both Howry
and Newark Sloughs, the percent number of days for flooding was
generally twice as great as the percent number of high tides re-
quired for flooding. Therefore, when flooding does occur, only one
of the two high tides per day are generally high enough to cause
marsh flooding. However, there were saae days during the study
period in which both high tides would cause marsh flooding, con-
versly there were days in which no marsh flooding occurred.
As indicated in this Table, no estimates of marsh flooding were
made for Faber Tract Harah. As described in Section 4.1.3 only
parts of Paber Treat Harsh flood every day, but the extent of
aeral marsh flooding could not be determined.
Since daily marsh flooding does not occur at Howry and Newark
Sloughs, accurate estimate* of marsh sutwergence necessitates ex-
34

•mining the daily tidal cycle. Parts of Faber Tract Marsh will
flood daily, but the extent of marsh flooding also depends on the
daily tidal fluctuations. Therefore, for all three marsh areas,
the duration and extent of marsh submergence is directly related
to the daily tidal cycle.

4.4 DISSOLVED OXYGEN and SALINITY OP SLOUGHS
Examining the dissolved oxygen (D.O.) and salinity data revealed
that a distinct pattern for both parameters occurred in each of
the three sloughs sampled. These patterns occurred during each
sampling effort, indicating that they were not a result of random
variation or a rare occurence.
4.4.1 Mowr y Slough
The salinity and D.O. measurements for each sampling effort are
summarized in Figs. 15-18. it is evident from these figures that
no clear, recurrent trends in D.O. fluctuation occurred throughout
the-study, in general, D.O. ranged between 3-5 ppn during each
day of sampling. Salinity, however, did have one apparent trend.
Salinities rapidly and substantially increased as the tide was
incoming, and similarly decreased on the outgoing tide. In several
cases the salinity changed over 10 ppt during a sampling day.
Salinities typically ranged from about 19-30 ppt. Daily variation
of salinity was most pronounced in Mowry Slough when compared to
Newark Slough and Paber Tract Harsh. This daily salinity vari-
ation and range of salinity values were also quite similar through*-
out the four months of sampling. There was no rainfall immediately
prior to, or during sampling which could have contributed to this
phenomenon.

4.4.2 Newark Slough
During the four sampling efforts, D.O. had wide fluctuations.
Maximum variation of D.O. occurred in August, 1977 where the D.O.
ranged from 1.4 to 11.9 ppm (Pigs. 19-20). A recurrent trend in
D.O. values was observed relative to the incoming and outgoing
tides. During all four days of Masureswits for D.O., D.O. values
would decrease during the incoming tide and increase during the out-
going tide. The magnitudes of change for D.O. varied among the
sampling days. For example, total net increase during the sampling
day in November, 1977 ranged from 1.2 - 2.S ppm; and in September,
1977 from 1.5 - 11.9 ppm.
These data also clearly demonstrate that vertical stratification
of D.O. occurred in Newark Slough. A vertical profile of D.O. was
made in October, 1977. It is evident from Fig. IB that the mid-
depth D.O. values were all proportionally lower than the near-
surface values. It is not known if D.O. stratification occurred at
the mouth of the slough which was four miles from the sampling site.
From September-November, 1977, the trend of salinity fluctuation in
Newark Slough was opposite to that observed from Mowry Slough; but
to a much lesser degree (Figs. 21-22). As the tide entered Newark
Slough, the salinities would depress slightly (2-3 ppt) from the
maximum, and increase similarly on the receding tide. In general,
the salinity values throughout the study ranged from 28-32 ppt for
each day of sampling.

4.4.3 Faber Tract Marsh
The D.O. regime in Fab«r Tract Harsh was unique whan ccapared to
Newark and Howry Slougha (Figs. 23-24). As th« tide was incoming,
D.O. increased by several ppn. As the tide reversed, the D.O. was
initially depressed, then the 0.0. increased again by an additional
several ppn until the maximum D.O. value was recorded at approx-
imately half way through the ebb tide cycle. During the last half
of the ebb tide, the D.O. then decreased. The D.O. at the end of
sampling was always higher than the D.O. at the start of sampling.
This description occurred for all four saapling dates. The beginning
and ending D.O. values, and range of D.O. fluctuation per day dif-
fered aaong saapling efforts. For example, in August, 1977 the
D.O. ranged frcm 3.6 - 11 ppn, with a beginning D.O. of 3.6 ppn and
ending with 8.4 ppn. In September, 1977 the D.O. began and ended
with 6.4 and 7.5 ppn respectively, and ranged fron 5.S - 9.4 ppn.
The salinity values for Faber Tract Harsh ware relatively constant)
during each day of sampling and aaong saapling efforts (Figs. 25-26)
they averaged about 30 ppt, generally with minor fluctuationa of
1 ppt around the mean.
4.4.4.
The D.O. regiae in each slough cannot be explained as easily as the
salinity. All of the water quality paraaeters aeaaured generally
affect D.O. in a variety of aethoda, to a one degree. An atteapt was
made to determine if, in fact, any one of the water quality paraaeters
could easily be identified as having a doninant effect on D.O. A

variety of parameters was selected, for which linear correlation*
between D.O. and each parameter in each marsh area were performed.
The reaultc of these correlations are suanarized in Table IV.
These results show that none of the Individual water quality pa-
rameters selected can be isolated as having a continual dominant
effect on D.O. If these selected water quality parameters do
substantially affect D.O., then they must do so in a relatively
complex manner involving several parametersi thus, the use of any
one parameter is not suitable for linear predictions of D.O.
It is evident that there was a separate 0.0. and salinity regime
occurring in each of the three marsh areas studied. The daily
salinity pattern in Howry Slough could easily be explained by a
fresh-water input upstream of the sampling site. The salinity
routinely decreased during incoming tides in Newark Slough. This
is probably a result of the Onion-Newark discharge, which enters
Newark Slough approximately 3/4 mile upstream from the Bay. The
salinity in Faber Tract Harsh was relatively stable. Since the
sampling site was very close to the Bay, the salinity in Faber
Tract Harsh was probably dependent on the salinity of the Bay.

4. S SUMMARY
Much of the work in salt marsh description and ecology has been
don* in Europe and along the Alantic Coast of the United States.
Froa these studies, a variety of "standard" descriptions and
ecological considerations of marine marshlands have evolved. Marsh-
land descriptions include, for example: submergence or emergence
zones classified by zonation of the marsh vegetation as a function
of tidal height, and open or closed marshes. Also, as stated by
Ranwe11 (1972), "Any particular marsh may be intermediate in
character between the three main types distingushed; spit-
associated marshesi embayed marshes; estuarine marshes. So long as
the-various gradients) exposure; soil particle size; salinity; are
kept in mind, there should be no difficulty in placing the marsh
in the ecosystem of which it forms a part. It is essential to
consider the system as a whole when interpreting results from the
study of any part of it."
The unique configuration of the San Francisco Bay system, coupled
with two distinct wet and dry seasons normally occurring each year,
complicates classification of the marshes. The marshlands of South
Bay could potentially be classified in a variety of ways. The
three marsh areas studied are basically closed marshes, but open
marshes do occur widely as indicated by the aerial photographs.
From the hydrological composition of South Bay, it may be inferred
that embayed marshes exist, with the degree of embayaent affected
by the amount of fresh water discharged into the sloughs. However,
53
H-437
-------
the distinct rainy season may create certain estuarine conditions
part of the year. An examination of the frequency of marsh sub-
mergence nay indicate that Mowry Slough approximates a near sub-
mergence marsh, with Newark Slough being more of an emergence marsh.
If Faber Tract Marsh is similar to the marsh adjacent to the Palo
Alto Yacht Harbor (as described by Hinde in 1954), with no clear
division of upper and lower marsh zones, the marsh may not easily
be classified as having submergence or emergence zones. There was
a different salinity and 0.0. regime occurring during all four
sampling dates at each of the three different study areas.
The two year drought, just ended, may have had a considerable
effect on the marshlands. Rainfall does affect the soil salinity
in emergence marshes, and greatly contributes to marsh drainage.
Considering the wet and dry seasons that do occur in this area, it
is possible that different types of vegetation may occur in the
marsh depending on the season. The recent drought may have
created a situation where the marsh interstitial salinities re-
mained high, thereby preventing survival of plants requiring very
low interstitial salinity.
The drought ended with a record high rainfall. During the drought,
it is probable that marsh draining would be minimal, allowing the
material and nutrients comnonly drained as a result of rainfall to
build up. Then, with the high rainfall, the draining rate may have
been quite high, removing much of the two year build-up in a few
months.
54
I I w „ .: . : i ,1 ii'i
It is evident that the data required to accurately classify the
marshlands surrounding the South Bay is not available from the
field project, or from Hinde (1954). Depending on the type of
marsh, there are relatively distinct ecological processes affecting
marsh development, and possible differences in the exchange of
nutrients between the marsh and sea water. An adequate description
of these processes and interrelationships is beyond the scope of
this report. These aforementioned differences do exist, and may
play a significant role in the overall marsh ecosystem in South Bay.
As previously mentioned, the classification of marshes has evolved
principally from studies in Europe and the Bast Coast of the United
States. San Francisco Bay has traditionally been considered as a
unique biological environment. The Bay may be classified as being
a marine embayment* with seasonal estuarine characteristics de-
pending on what part of the Bay is being considered. Also, de-
pending on the season (wet or dry), strong gradients of physical
parameters exist, as well as relative uniformity of these same
parameters. Our sampling throughout the Bay over the past several
years has shown this to be true. It is possible that the standard
system of marsh classification may or may not be suitable for South
San Francisco Bay.

5.0 BENTHAL DEMAND
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Tha benthal demand analysis was to provide input tor tha model
representing chemical interactions between tha various sediment
typas within tha South Bay and tha overlying waters. Tha benthal
demand analysis may be more deacriptively termed oxygen uptake:
incorporating both biological and chaadcal processes. The appli-
cation of a benthal demand analyaia to this type of study is re-
latively new. The authora (Pastttswt, 1975; Smith, K. L., 19741
Smith, K. L., et al. 1976) of theae studies have atated a variety
of major considerations in performing this technique, and that the
entire experiment is unproven with respect to the precision of
measurements. Therefore, tha measurement of oxygen uptake by
biological communities and chemicala in the substrate, ia still in
a "stste of tha art" stage.
Previous studies have bean performed "in situ" in deep marine
waters using sophisticated sampling gear and underwater tele-
vision camera to insure core samples with little or no sediswnt-
water interface disturbance. The ssmple cores were then imediately
processed on board a large vessel. Replication of this technique
in South Bay ia not practical or financially feasible. Therefore,
certain modification! of the equipment and analysis ware designed
for the South Bay study area.

5.2 METHODS AND MATERIALS
The core samples were collected with a Triak sampler and glass
cores 4.9 cm. in diameter. The core was carefully inserted into
the substratum to a depth of 16 era. The core contained over-
lying water, and careful observation of the water-sediment inter-
face was aade to insure that the substrata was not disturbed.
The cores were transferred immediately to a specially insulated
container for the trip to the laboratory. Field temperature
measurements were Bade of the overlying water, and the insulated
containers were maintained at the field temperature. Three
stations were sampled in duplicate for each of three specified
incubation temperatures. The core samples were collected from
the following areas: Faber Tract Marsh, at the Diffuse Source
Loading Evaluation Station) Alviso Slough within sampling grid
number 118 (Fig. 2)i and the Palo Alto Harbor area. The cores
were transported to the laboratory at a constant temperature
(field temperature), and then transfered to the ben thai dexand
chambers. At the time of tranafer, the cores were again checked
for sediment disturbance before placing them in the apparatus.
He found no -disturbance at the water-sediment interface in the
field or after transport to the laboratory.
The benthai demand apparatus was constructed after a review of
the literature so that the newer finding by Paaatmat (1971) and
Smith (1974) could be incorporated. A schematic of the apparatus
is shown in Fig. 27. The system operates in the following manner.

SCHEMATIC DESIGN FOR BENTHAL DEMAND APPARATUS
R is a reservior for maintaining volume of sea water in a closed
system when a sample volume is withdrawn.
Sa is the sample reservior
P is a peristaltic pump.
S is a magnetic stirrer.
The diagram illustrates the flow pattern when the system is closed
and operating. To extract a sample, both three-way valves are
opened simutaneously, thereby allowing the sample volume to esoape
the system and be immediately replenished with sea water from the
reservior. D.O. of extracted sample was determined by sdcro-winkler 0-
titration.
The apparatus connected with the dashed lines indicates the modificatic
of the system for continual D.O. monitoring. The sea water is then
transferred through the sealed unit with the D.O. probe. The D.O.
probe measures oxygen concentration on the basis of oxygen activity
ie. the passage of O2 molecules across the probe membrane. Therefore,
a magnetic stirring apparatus was employed to increase circulation
across the membrane.

The car** are carefully transferred to Insulated water bath con-
tainers each containing a Cole-Parmer heater-circulator. The
cores Here suspended in the water bath by plywood holders with
holes drilled the size of the core. A Blue-H refrigeration unit
with a cooling coil was used to lower the water teaiperature in an
insulated storage tank to 9°C. This cold water was circulated in
variable amounts to tha three water baths. Temperature was con-
trolled to ±0.5&C. by this method. Three temperatures were main-
tained in separate water baths at 10°, ambient and 20°C.
Replicate cores from each area were run at each temperature. The
cores were purged with nitrogen just before the cork with the two
glass tubes was inserted into the top of the core. The water in
each core was pumped at 80 ml/min using three multi-channel Master-
flex pump drives with 10 pumps per unit. These peristaltic pumps
moved water out of the core to a 3-way valve, and then back into
each respective core. The largest number of pumps that can be
operated for any one temperature bath is 10. Therefore, 9 cores
per bath were set up for oxygen determination using the micro-
Hinkler, and one core in each bath was used to establish the point
when the oxygen level equilibrium is reached using an O2 probe.
One extra "dummy" core, not involved in the pumping system, was
used to represent a measure of the sediment and overlying water
temperature during the experiment. The cores were equilibrated to
the specified temperatures, then monitored for decreases in D.O.
concentration for a period of 28 hours. Ten ml were withdrawn
maintaining a 100 ml total volume, and 10 ml of a known D.O.

for D.O. determination (±.08 ppm).

5.3
To our knowledge the modified experimental .design from Christian
and Hall (1977), and others, as described above, has not been used
before. Therefore, a number of experiments were conducted to
critically check the operation of the system.
5.3.1
Circulation rate of the overlying water within the core was checked.
Figure 28 shows the design of the core circulation system. The
relative length of the glass tubes in the core is important in
maintaining rapid circulation rates while not disturbing the core
sedimentsi 370 ml of core was used to test circulation ratea.
Pontacyl Pink dye was added to the 370 ml of water, fluormetric
determinations were taken within 30 sec of dye entrance. After
five minutes the dye reached a maximum level in the water column.
Thus, at 100 ml/min with a volume of 370 ml, it would take five
minutes to completely circulate the water column. The actual cores
used for the experiments were adjusted so that they contained 100 ml
of water and 6 in. of bay sediment. It took 1.7 min at 80 ml/min
to completely circulate the water contents of the core.
5.3.2
Tests were conducted to determine the effect of hydrogen sulfide
resuspension in the cores. Resuspension of the hydrogen sulfide
layer in the cores would affect the D.O. levels recorded. Therefore,
a test was run where the sediment in the core was slowly agitated
so that the reducing layer was introduced into the water column.
62
-------
FIG. 28
TEST FOR HATER CIRCULATION PATTERN
Dye was introduced into the system to determine circulation patterns.
The figure indicate* the precise sone of dye concentration in the
water colunn. As evidenced by the drawing, a homogeneous mixture of
dye resulted, and did not penetrate the water column above the intake
tube or below the exhaust tube.
H-443
-------
The results of this test is shown in rig. 29. None of the core*
used in the benthal demand experiments were disturbed enough to
have any effect of hydrogen sulfide resuspension. Although under
natural conditions in the field sediment resuspension does occur.
5.3.3
To test the sensitivity of the apparatus and our D.O. determinations
¦mall fish were respired at different temperatures. The fish were
measured and placed in cores with 2 inches of coarse aquarium sand
and 300 ml of water. They were allowed to acclimate and then D.O.
readings were made over an eight hour period. This experiment was
repeated four times using 12 fish at three different temperatures.
The results indicate that the system is very sensitive to D.O.
changes and the methods used for D.O. determinations are reliable.
5.3.4
Concerning the sources of variation within the experiments, the
data show a fairly high variability in the apparent effects of
temperature upon uptake rates, as indicated in Figs. 30-31. In
order to reduce this variance, a greater number of replicates for
each given temperature should be utilized.
An optimum allocation of resources analysis, (OAR), applied in
order to elucidate the number of replicates to be used, was per-
formed upon the data for the 28 hours cumulative oxygen uptake rates
This test is designed to identify the greatest source of variation
in the experiment, and to predict the experimental design most

sensitive to the greatest source of variation. A two-way Model I
ANOVA with replication, using a square root transformation (as the
variance is heteroscedastic), was employed to calculate the re-
quired mean square values for the OAR. This analysis shows that
the greatest source of variation was within cores, per temperature,
par area, and the least source of variation was between areas. If
three different area* are to be exaained, and IB cores are to be
utilized, then, for each area 3 temperatures with 6 replicate* per
temperature is the suggested optimal experimental design indicated
by the OAR.
It is clearly evident that both the examination of variance
through the standard error calculations, and the OAR results, that
replication of cores per temperature is essential to adequately
examine the differences between areas and/or temperature for
measurements of 0^ uptake. The level of accuracy will depend on
the number of replicate core samples taken.
5.3.5
These experiments indicate that the methods developed for the
benthal demand data analysis seem to be adequate. The system
reduces some of the problems of past laboratory approaches, but
still presents the problem of not being "in situ". However, the
*in situ" apparatus introduce problems which are not present in our
laboratory apparatus.

measurement* made by E. H. Smith t Associates was viewed aa
questionable. No explaination of the statement waa presented in
the report. The estimated value established by Hydroscience, Inc.
in the 1967 field survey was used. Mr. Szumski of Hydroscience,
Inc. was contacted to find out how their values were obtained.
We were informed that the orginal report was not readily available
and that the results were obtained by the use of a Narbarg apparatus.
Our experience with Warburg apparatus dates back to 1960 when this
apparatus waa uaed extenaively to obtain D.O. consumption rates of
whole animals or their parts. This apparatus has since been shown
to give unrealiable results, and is now not used. No indication
was given as to how the results were obtained, at what temperatures,
or weather the aediment had been analyzed for infaunal animals.
Therefore, it is difficult to judge the validity of the values used
by Hydroscience, Inc.
A recent article by Pamatmat (1977) reviewa benthic comunity
metabolism. He states that a single holistic method for measuring
soft bottom community metabolism has not been developed. The
accuracy of estimating "in aitu" rates still raise questions about
"in situ" versus laboratory sieaaurementa (Edberg and Hofsten 1973),
stirring versus no stirring, flow-through versus stirred enclosures.

PRELT;iiJflRY
Laboratory sample# are usually sediment cores. Oxygen uptake of
sediment cores has been measured aboard ship (Pamataat, 1971a),
and if taken carefully, the oxygen uptake of sediaent cores at
"in situ" temperature is the sane as rates measured "in situ", at
least to 23 m depth (Pamataat, 1971). Contrary to these findings
jaaes, 1974, found that sediment cores tend to respire less than
sediment enclosed "in situ". The D.O. values obtained in our
benthal demand studies are similar to those recorded by Pamataat
and Jaaes (1973) for stations in the Puget Sound. They found
values ranging from 3.6 to 26.5 ml Oj m"J hr"1. Variation in
their data is also similar to the results obtained in South Bay.
Temperature is a major factor in the variation and must be taken
into account in any analysis.'
It should be pointed out that present estimates of benthic oxygen
consumption are based on measurements from undisturbed sediments,
while in nature sediments are disturbed periodically by tidal
currents, and aperiodically by burrowing organisms or by wind and
wave generated turbulence. None of these factors were tested in
our experiments. It was noted that at rapid water exchange periods
in the sloughs there was sane resuspension of bottom sediments
which could reduce D.O. near the bottom. The core method employed
in this study did exchange water, but did not cause turbidity so
that natural conditions were not obtained.

r Pill L u u ri ll I
He were scheduled to analyze 30 "in situ" bottom demand samples
taking only one core in each location. In testing our procedure
after the first benthal deaand experiaent we found that 6 replicates
should be collected for each teaperature. It was also noted that
from the three locations sampled, it was more aeaningful to
increase replicates rather than take more stations in different
areas. Although these results were based upon only three areas,
our earlier study of the South Bay regime has shown that the
sediment sizs distribution is fairly uniform. It would be best
to take six replicates in six or eight locetions to check these
preliminary observations. However, due to time and budget con-
straints it was felt that more accurate data could be obtained by
using replicates in only three areas, rather than singls cores in
30 areas. More samples should be made throughout the year to
investigate summer field conditions, since teaperature is a major
factor in 02 consumption rates. The field teaperature of the sed-
iaents during the benthal daMnd experiments ranged froa 16° to 10°C.
while summer temperatures can reach 25°C. Increaaing or decreasing
sediment temperature in laboratory experiments may introduce
artifacts. Therefore, it would be better to conduct the experiment
at the "in situ* temperatures during the year.
Bearing in mind the variation between cores and between temperatures
it is difficult to understand how a single value of 0.1 ga Oj m~*
day 1 could be developed by Hydroecience, Inc. from our data. This
range of variation is ccanonly reported in the literature, and our
results show it to occur in at least three locations in South Bay.

PRELIMINARY
Sine* seasonal tanparatura ranges ara large in South Bay, it
would ba difficult to establish a single figura to fit all seaaons.
Bydroacianca, Inc. doa« not explain what data aat or aata wara
uaed from our raaulta, nor bow tba single valua waa davalopad.
This valua ia compared to ona aatabliahad in 1967 by, at praaant,
unknown method* and determined to ba low. Our raaulta cartainly
fall within publiahad valua ranges. Analysis of tba cores
(Appandix III) ahow small nuabara of small aniaala. Tba praaanca
of fauna in tba sediments must ba taken into conaidaration, and
nay explain aoma of tha variation batwaan coraa and batwaan aitaa.
Smith (1974) found tha meiofaunal - microfaunal - microfloral
raapiration contributad from 25% to 58% of total eoawnity rea-
piration in a aublittoral community off Sapalo Island, Georgia.
Therefore, it ia impossible to compare our valuea with thoae of
Bydroacianca, Inc. ainca we do not have any information on how
their valuaa were eatabliahed.

TERRESTRIAL BIOLOGY FIELD NOTES-SCTJTH BAY PROJECT
Aj a part of a qualitative baeeline aurvay of the South Bay Diechargers
plpalina corridor® and potentially affected aurrounding araaa. Bechtel
blologlets have examined all or part of tha route on flva occasion* In
tha laat 5 months. Dataa of alta vlaita Include July 22, August 14,
October 2, October 21, and November 3, 1975. There were aavaral pur-
poaaa for thaaa alta aurveya:
1. to determine thoaa apeclflc localltlaa In tha project
area having the highest biological aignlflcance, In
terms of overall variety and numbers of apaclas present
2. to determine where poaalble, uaing the walk-through
aurvay technique, the preaence of any rare, treatened,
or endangered apaclea and apaclaa of apeclal intaraat
or concern to local conaervatlon or regulatory entities
3. to determine if the atatua of wildlife or wildlife
habltate in apeclflc localltlaa haa changed alnce
field and literature aurveya ware made for the pro-
gram* tic environmental report on the pipeline-
The presentation of field survey reports which followe la arranged by
location (neareat Station number) and date. A report on trapping
aurveya for tha aalt marsh harvest mouse along tha pipeline route
followe the dated field aurvay reports.
Artealan Slough (Wear Station 1)
JulT 22. 1973
The Artesian Slough, tha dlecharge channel for tha San Joae aewage
treatment plant, la located InaIda tha border of the San Franclaco
Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The channel la lined through most of
Ita course to Coyote Creek by dense stands of bulrushes and cattails.
The heaviest concentrations of birds were observed In the mudflat and
tula island area between the Leelle Salt Company ponds A-16 and 1-18.
Snowy egreta were observed nesting In the crowoe of the bulruahea
(two neata with two large chlcka In each were observed). Ring-billed
guile were abundant aa were black-crowned night herons (rooeting in
the bulruahea), western sandpipers, snowy egrets, and black-necked
stilts. The concentration and variety of birds in this area was spec-
tacular and was similar to the Guadalupe Slough near the Sunnyvale
treetment plant.
Salt pond A-18 to the east had between SO to 75 Wilson's Phalaropea
out in ita center. A long-billed curlew and a willet were also aeen.
Brine ehrlmp were abundant.
August 14. 1975
We took a series of slides of the nesting snowy egrets and confirmed
the presence of at least one pair of chicks. We counted 84 snowy
egrets roosting in, or standing near, the two large clumps of bulrushes
where nesting had apparently occurred. It is not possible to determine
the total number of nests which were attempted becauee of our appearance
on the site at the very end of the nesting season.
October 2. 1975
The shoveler was the main species In markedly Increased abundance. The
Urge roosting flock of snowy egrets was not present and only two birds
were observed in the large bulrush islands. Both of these birds showed
signs of down on the heeds but were otherwise plumed as adults.
1-1
-------
Neither U.S. Pish And Wildlife Service biologist* nor California Fish
and Game biologist have confirmed that snowy egrets nested ac Artesian
this season. We learned that brine shrimp are harvested comswrclally
from salt pond A18 east of Artesian Slough. Due to a very high tide
level, fev wading birds were observed in the area.
During the last few weeks, the Fish and Wildlife Service and California
Fish and Game have been investigating an outbreak of botulism in the
South Bay. The highest mortality has been noted in Artesian Slough
and nearby areas in Coyote Creek and Mud Slough. Shovelers have been
severely affected.
Alviso Slouflh/Quadalupe River (Station 5)
July 22, 1975
The crossing at Alvlso Slough is an area with scattered patches of tulec
which could probably support wildlife if the etream were not channelised.
Four or five black-necked stilts were foraging in the mudflats. This
level of bird use is very light compared to the Arteaian Slough area.
Alviso Slat Harsh (Station 7)
October 2, 1975
Ve examined the Alvlso marsh with Ms. Cathy Osugl, biologist with
the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. She informed us that the rodent
signs which were so abundant could be from the house alee entering
the area fro* the adjacent landfill. (See the end of this Appendix
for the results of Ms. Oeugi's trapping survey.) A white tallad kite
was foraging over the marsh and was later observed diving on a pass-
ing Swalnson's hawk.
Hovember 3. 1975
Ihe Alvlso salt marsh was heavily flooded; the section on the east side
of the road was dry, however. It became apparent that the plckleweed
field west of Saratoga Creek is a portion of the old Alvlao salt marsh.
1-2
Saratoga Creek/Cuadalupe Slough (Station 8*l)
July 22. 1975
The Saratoga Creek/Guadalupe Slough crossing is densely bordered by tules.
Bird useage is about twice as high as at Alviso. The area is more se-
cluded which may attract tha stilts and avocets. The bottom muds appear
to be anoxic near the bridge, however.
October 2. 1975
The plckleweed "field" vest of Seretoga Slough does not look promising
for a salt earsh harvest mouse population, in Ms. Oeugl'e opinion. She
agreed, however, to trap it for information. (See the end of thie
Appendix for the reeults of Ma. Osugi's trapping survey*)
Calabatas Creek/Cuadalupe Slouth (Station 10)
July 22. 1975
Calabesae Creek/Cuadalupe Slough ie channelized end has little or no
emergent vegetation suitable to support wildlife. No birds were obaerved
in the craek bottom.
Unnamed Creak (Station 15)
July 22. 1975
Cliff ewe Howe neat beneath the bridge. Ho other birds were noted even
though tha tules are dense. Traffic ie moderately heavy on the road;
a landfill-motorcycle couree is located on the north side of the road.
Sunnyvale Oxidation Ponda/Cuadaluoe Slouth (Near Station 20)
July 22. 1975
The poods were both supporting significant numbers of ducka. The pri-
mary types observed were mallards and ruddy ducks. At leaat eleven
broods of ducka were on the western-moat pond, all of tAiich appeared
to be msllarda. the brood* carled in age from leee than one month
to nearly adult alee. A flock of 30 to W Wilsons phalsropes were
observed on the outfall channel between the two ponds.
-------
Th« eyebrows northeast of the easterly pond In Guadalupe Slough war*
heavily populated by western sandpipers, especially at the Met end.
This eastern area also supported e high density of black-crowned night
herone. Avocets and stilts were coaoo. Terns, probably Foretere',
rare foraging over the main channel of the Slough. The bird activity
la this general area was very high » even at midday when tha eurvey was
isde.
faigust 16, 1975
Jhen we visited the area at about 12:00 (noon), there were few ducke
>n the pond, and none with brooda of ducklings. Other bird activity
ras relatively light for the area* probably due to the high tide.
tetober 2, 1975
"he Sunnyvale oxidation ponds, especially the easterly unit, were pop-
ilated with waterfowl. The eaat pond had 200 to 300 ducks, primarily
ihovelers, and coots. Only one shoveler shoved any obvious sign of
ilckness; there was spparently no outbreak of botulism in this area.
iaea Research Magnetic Test Facility (Near Station 34)
uly 22. 1975
"he fielda west of Moffett are mixed annual weeds and low sadges. Asms
Research la developing portions of the area to the north for electro-
lagnetlc research and haa cleared some of the ground above the water
nfluence zone. All areas below sea level are salt marsh and ponds,
aterfowl, mainly pintails and mallards, were observed in significant
umbera on the main pond visible from the gate.
ctobar 2. 1975
e visited the gate at Amaa magnetic research araa, at 9:30 in the
orning and at noon. In the morning, the area was very busy, with
ongblrds feeding on the weed seeds and coming to a smsll ditch near
he fence to drink. Speciea observed Included the meadowlark, house
finch, Lincoln's sparrow, song sparrow, and pheasant.
Three white-tailed kites were observed roosting on fences and telephone
vires within 1/4 mile of the road to the west. The saline ponds in
the middle of the Ames property were supporting only about a dozen
ducks in the morning, the majority of which were pintails. We also
observed large flocks of white pelicans landing in the salt ponds
next to Charleston Slough. In about 5 minutes we counted over 50
birds coming to the ponds in flocks of 8 to 15 from the south, east,
and north. We did not attempt to reach the ponds to count the total
number of birds present.
During our noon visit, bird activity was greatly reduced. The paeaerine
component which was so abundant in the morning was almost totally
missing. The white-tailed kites were not in the area (one was sighted
on a telephone wire between Anderson's House Hovers and Ames about
2 o'clock in the afternoon). The number of ducks on the Ames saline
ponds had increased to nearly the same levels observed on the previous
biological survey, perhaps 60 to 75 individuals. The overflights of
patrol planes taking off from Moffett do not visibly disturb the
birds of the species observed in the area.
Pikes Worth of Anea Magnetic Test Facility (Stations 34 to 37)
October 21, 1975
Waterbird use of the upland pond was high. A white-tailed kite was
observed hovering over the grasslands on the far side of the magnetic
test facility and over the dike toward the Moffett landfill. The
landfill la being built In an abandoned dry salt pond, just south of
salt pond A-2E. The pipeline would cross this dry pond from its
southwest corner to the edge of the landfill near the middle of the
northeast side.
1-3
-------
November 3, 1975
Bird activity on the Ames pond vat lower than on past visits. The
number of ducks was such reduced. Wlllets and dowltchers were as
abundant as on previous trips. No birds sees to utilize the portion
of the pond next to the salt pond dike. Forster's tarns were feeding
from the salt pond on "minnows." The fish population seemed quite
large based on the number of surface ripples seen. We saw female
merlin (pigeon hawk) on a fence post of Crittenden Road.
Stevens Creek (Near Station 37)
July 22. 1975
Stevens Creek, though channelized, has a broad margin of ruahes on
either side of the stream channel and looks like it should be suitable
habitat for riparian and mudflat species. There was no evidence,
however, of any usage by birds or mammals of the stream. No foot
prints were observed In the exposed mud and no birds were flushed
from the emergent vegetation. The water and mud naar the bridge
on Crittenden Road appeared to have a high sediment load which My
preclude the development of a significant benthic fauna.
Charleston Slough and Casey Slough (Near Station 47)
July 22. 1975
The following observations were made between 3:15 and 4:00 PM:
in the general area of Charleston Slough and the Palo Alto Baylands
Reserve, the abundance of birds was markedly reduced cohered to
Artesian and Guadalupe Sloughs (less than 50 individuals were seen in
the entire area), and only one species was unique to this site, the
least tern. The least tern was observed feeedlng from s small, fresh*
water channel Immediately north of the abandoned sewage treatment
plant, Casey Slough, and nowhere else in this area. This small body
of water would seem to be of more Importance than others nearby for
this reason.
The old oxidation ponds of the Mountain View sewage plant were totally
dry and no birds were observed around them. When visited a few weeks
ago they had several Inches of water in them and we observed ducks
(mallards) and several stilts either In the water or on the banks.
August 14, 1975
Least terns were not observed during our visit.
October 21. 1975
Casey Slough—we walked across the outboard dike of the Mountain View
landfill/park. We learned that large quantities of water will be
pumped from Charleeton Slough to fill end maintain the artificial lake
being built there. The outer portion of Cassy Slough has been covered
over by the park development. Waterblrd utilisation of salt pond 1A
was low. iHMture Forster's terns were actively feeding. The shallow
portions of Charleston Slough were densely populeted with shoreblrds
and wstsrfowl.
November 3. 1975
About forty ducks were observed on selt pond 1A; they were mainly pin-
tails and shovelers. The pond was by no means crowded. Charleston
Slough was covered with resting shore end watarblrde.
Palo Alto Baylands Reeerve (Stations 48 to 51)
July 22. 1975
The section of the Baylands Reserve which the pipeline will cross
is in one of the dryer portions of the complex and therefore in the
section which mey have the lowest overall sensitivity. The birds
which we did observe included msllsrds, snowy egrets, conoo egrets,
a grsat blue heron, avocets, stilts, and s wlllet. All of these birds
were observed In Mayfleld Slough and exposed shoreline near Station 48.
-------
October 2. 1975
We visited the Charleston Slough/Bayland Reserve area at 11:30 end
about 2:00. Wa saw no least terns on althar vlait and generally noted
that shorebird activity In tha area was low compared with previous
observations, We observed an American keetrel and a female mareh
hawk foraging In the Reserve. The marsh havk moved over Into
Charlaaton Slough while we were there.
October 21, 1975
The apolle from the Mountain View/Palo Alto conveyance ware apparently
left In place, foruing a "dike" about 2 to 3 ft high across the basin.
Cresses and upland weeds grow on this higher area. The ismriiMtily
surrounding areas are plckleweed. We observed a "family" of pheasants
feeding near the freehwater pond. We aaw a burrowing owl roosting
on a large piece of discarded concrete at the old Mountain View Sewage
Treatment Plant.
November 3» 1975
Two American keatrela were foraging within the alignment. One used the
neareat (southern) manhole cover as a coost fro® which to scan the area.
Two mareh hawke were perching on the high radio tower next to Casey
Slough. Two night herons were standing in the cattails at the edge
of Mayfield Slough near the crossing point.
Mayfield Slough (Station 52)
July 22. 197S
The segment of Mayfield Slough immediately adjacent to the city landfill
was dry on this visit. Based on an earlier obeervatlon of the Slough
and on thie vlatt. It appears that It has extremely limited wildlife
valuaa In Its prssent condition.
Palo Alto Water Quality Control Plant (Station 56)
November 3. 1975
Pheasants sod black-tailed jackrebblta were noted near the plant. Song
aparrowe were observed foraging In the
-------
Alameda song sparrow was observed singing fro* a sale bush near the
path. The bird moved down to the base of the plant and disappeared In
the vegetation. If It were earlier in the year, this behavior would
haveaugseeted that the bird had a neat. We did not have tlae to ex-
plore the eaetern edge of the salt aarsh.
October 2, 1975
At the Palo Alto aarsh we observed less than a dozen ducks In the sew-
age outfall channel, most of which were pintails and aallards.
October 21. 1975
A large nuaber of ducks, primarily pintails, were present throughout
the area. Pintails, aallards, coots, and a few wigeona were observed
on the aewage channel. Alaaeda song sparrows were frequently observed
In the guaplant which lines the edge of the earthen path and in the
interior of the aarsh in high cluape of plckleweed. In this area,
the species is quite coaaon, if not abundant. The high dike between
the airport and the aarsh is heavily vegetated with trees, bushes,
and high weds and was heavily utilised by songbirds. Ve observed
flocks of house finches and another sparrow, probably white-crowned,
along this dike.
November 3. 1975
Wlgeons and pintails were the predominant ducks in the channel; pintails
were feeding in the saltbuahas which were partially aubaerged by the
high tide. Song sparrows were again very coaaon. White-crowned
sparrows were abundant in the bushes around the aalt aarsh area.

INTRODUCTION
This report is the result of efforts on the part of Archaeological
Consulting and Research Services, Incorporated to gather data rel-
evant to archaeological and paleontological resources as nay be
impacted by the South Say Dischargers Authority's proposed joint
outfall pipeline. Specifically, wt w.re requested to acconplish
the following two (2) tasks:
Task 1 "Conduct field and archive studies for archae-
ology and paleontology for the proposed l&rvd
route of the joint outfall pipeline. Studies
shall include the ex&min&tion of all available
records concerning archaeological an.3 paleon-
tological resources in the vicinity of the
proposed pipeline route arid an in-field surface
reconnaissance of the entire proposed corri-
dor. "
Task 2 "Prepare a report setting forth the archaeolog-
ical and paleontological daca gathered undet
Task 1. This report shall include photographs,
naps and other graphics as necessary to fully
and accurately describe the nature ar>d extent
of the cultural and paleontological resources
encountered. The report shall evaluate the
significance of the resources and the itapacts
which these resources may sustain should the
project be undertaken. The full range of
mitigation procedures which may be required
if the project were undertaken shall be discussed
and an evaluation made of the "no project" null
hypothesis."
Our research was addressed directly to that outfall pipeline align-
ment which would begin at a pumping station near the San Jose/
Santa Clara treatment plant, proceed north adjacent to San Francisco
Bay to the Palo Alto treatment plant, and continue along that line

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Prior to the in~field reconnaissance of the pipeline route, maps
and records on file at the Society fox California Archaeology
District Clearinghouse Number 4 at San Francisco State University
were examined for information regarding previsouly recorded known
archaeological »ites or completed archaeological reconnaissance*;
in the vicinity of the proposed project. Additionally, recorutf of
the sane type as previously obtained by our firm fro.n the Society
for California Archaeology restrict Clearinghouse Hursbcr 5 at
Cabrlllo College in Aptos were also exa&dned.
Records and reports pertaining to paleontological resources in
the proposed project area were obtained and consulted at the
United States Geological Survey facilities in Menlo Park,
California.
An archaeological reconnaissance of the on land alignment of the
outfall pipeline was completed by Mr. Thowas L. Jackson and Mr.
Stephen A. Diets of Archaeological Consulting and Research Services,
Incorporated. The entire on land route of the proposed pipeline
was subject to a visual surface examination. This was accoiaplished
by inspecting on foot a corridor of at least one hundred (100) fest
on either side of the approximate alignaent centerline.
We would like to thank Lieutenant Contender Sayner, Assistant Public
Works Officer at Moffett Field, and Mr. Bob Eddy of Ames Research
-------
Center for their kind assistance and for allowing us access to those
properties under their jurisdiction which are involved with the pipe-
line route.
ARCHAEO&OGICAL AMD PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES WHICH
MAY BE IMPACTED SHOULD THE PROJECT BE UNDERTAKEN
Archaeological Resources
Haps and records on file at the Society for California Archaeology
Clearinghouses indicated that although there are a number of known
archaeological resources within the region of the proposed project,
there are no known archaeological resources within the corridor of
the outfall pipeline route as investigated by ACRS. In addition,
no indications of archaeological remains were observed or discovered
during the in-field reconnaissance. No concentrations of shell, baked
clays or fire cracked rock, soil color changes, vegetation changes«
faunal or lithic materials, artifacts or any other indicators
which nay signify the presence of archaeological resources were en-
countered.
This does not, however, preclude the possibility of there being
subsurface archaeological resources within the proposed pipeline
alignment. A number of archaeological resources have recently
been discovered along the San Francisco Bay which have, through tine,
been covered by thick dune, stream, and estuary deposits.
In October 1969 during the excavation for the San Francisco Civic
Center Station of the Bay Area Rapid Transit District, human remains
were found at a depth of seventy-five (75) feet below the present
ground surface. The bones were contained within a matrix of clayey
silt which is overlain by a 20-foot layer of dune sand and a higher
-------
layer of axtificial fill built up since 1653 A.D. Microscopic ex-
aminations of the clayey silt and organic materials adhering to the
renins indicated that there had once existed at the site of the
discovery a marshland setting at or near a stream valley. Host sur-
prising was the results of a radiocarbon analysis of the associated
organic materials which produced a date of 2950 B.C. This was one
of the earliest representations of human occupation in the Bay Area
(Httm, et al., 1972; Henn, et al., 1973).
A similar discovery was n»ade in 1951 which is in the inmediate vicin-
ity of the proposed project. During summer of that year, construction
activities related to the development of a subdivision in East Palo
Alto exposed a large number of human burials at depths ranging from
3H to 6S feet. Archaeological investigations by Dr. Bert A. Gerow
of Stanford University produced cultural remains which suggested the
existence of a large village complex which had been buried under
alluvial materials from San Prancisquito Creek. Materials from the
site, which has been designated as SMa-77, yielded a radiocarbon date
of 1200 B.C. (Gerow, 1968).
Of interest to this study is the fact that the village coqplex was
once situated on the natural levee of San Pranciscquito Creek which
at the present time is more than a adle away from SMa-77. Helley and
Brabb (1971) and Lajoie, et al. (1974) have napped the alluvial de-
posits associated with San Prancisquito Creek as well as a number of
other areas which contain similar materials. Designated as Qyfo and
Qyf deposits of the late Cenotoic on the enclosed »ap {colored
Yellow), they are described by Lajoie« et al. (1974) as being,
respectively, fine grained younger alluvial fan deposits which are
unconsolidated, moderately-sorted, moderately permeable fine sand,
and coarse grained younger alluvial fan deposits which are uncon-
solidated, moderately sorted, permeable sand and silt wjth coarsr
sand and gravel becoming abundant toward fan heads and narrow can-
yons. Qyfo deposits arc noted as having a thickness which var'ec
from 0 to 12 feet and Qyf deposits vary in thickness from less
than 10 feet to as much as 50 feet. Qyf deposits "locally contain
aboriginal artifacts and skeletal remains". Both deposits are
presently forming with the oldest deposits probably dating from
5000 to 7000 years old.
the Qyfo and Qyf deposits, then, are levee deposits which can be-
tray old stream channels along which sites like SMa-77 are located.
As such, it is important to note that a number of Qyfo depositions
are shown on the enclosed Helley and Brabb map which intersect with
or are near the alignment of the proposed outfall pipeline. Those
Qyfo deposits which are shown to be overlain Qobm deposits (actually
Qym deposits or young bay mud, La)oi«< 1975) moat likely continue
under the yowtg bay mud and cross the alignment route. These areas
of Qyfo and Qyf deposition should, then, be oonsidersd as having a
high probability for containing subsurface or burled archaeological
resources.
-------
Paleontoloqical Resource*
The paleontological resources of the Margins of the present San
Francisco Bay have not been the focus of geological investigations
until recent attempts to map and define late cenosoic (particularly
late Quaternary) sediments along the Bay margins (cf. Helley and
Brabb, 1971 ard Lajoie, Nichols and Burke, 1974). Of particular
Interest to the prosent study is the recent paper by Helley, Ada*
and Burke (1972), "Late Quaternary Stratigraphic and Paleoeoological
Investigations in the San rrancisco Bay Area", which describes bic-
stratigraphic studies conducted at the Mountain View Dump. Sanitary
landfill operations at the duap have exposed a varied and rich fos-
sil flora and fauna of late Plelstooane and Holocene age (Helley,
Adam and Burfce 19?2i21). Among the fossil flora reoovmrmd fro® the
Mountain View dump are remains of Llbocedrus decurrens, Cuoressus
¦P-' Psuedotsuqa. Plnus sp., Junlperus (7), Zannlchellla palustr^s,
llatine callfornlca. Potamoqeton sp., Xanthl«i struwariDlchondrs
sp. and pollen grains from several faunal species. Hollusoan Mains
identified from the strata of the Mountain View dump include Anodonts
sp., Sphaerium sp., Husculium (7), Qyraulus parvus, Lynraea sp. (7),
Physa sp., gucclnea sp. and Valvata hiaaaratua (Helley, Adam and Burke,
1972i26-27, Tables 2 and 3). Vertebrate faunas recovered from the
Mountain View dump include Equus, Bison, Came lops, Hawiuthus, and a
ground sloth, Mylodon harlanl. Also recovered are the remains of
Meotoma cf. luclpes, Dlpodomys cf. heermanl, and ft»»cei (7). Pish
remains were also recovered from the strata of the duap (Helley,
Adam and Eurke, 1972t27).
Hood remains from the dtap recovered from elevations of -6.1, -6,
and -7.0 meters below present mean sea level have yielded radio-
carbon dates of 20,820+320, 21,960+520 and 23,000+500 years B.P.
respectively.
Other paleontological discoveries have been made adjacent to the
present project area along San Prancisquito Creek (Santa Clsra
County Planning Department, 1973) and in the marshlands, near
Sunnyvale (Lajole, 1974).

IMPACTS ON ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND PALEONTOl-OGICAL RESOURCES
Archaeological Resources
Direct iiq?acts upon archaeological resources will occur if the con-
struction activities associated with the development of the proposed
project encounter any subsurface remains. As demonstrated earlifcr
(cf. Archaeological and Paleontological Resources Which Kay be Impacted
Should thr Project be Undertaken; this report) this would appear to
be a distinct possibility. Given the depth of the Qyfo and Qyf de-
posits, archaeological resources could certainly be contained within
the Units of the trenching activities and if so, would be damaged
or destroyed.
Indirect iirpacts upon archaeological resources could occur through
growth as induced by the proposed project. Archaeological resources
situated in areas of future induced growth could be damaged or de-
stroyed by development activities.
Paleontological Resources
It seems likely that the construction of the proposed pipeline will
encounter numerous paleontological remains along the proposed route.
The significance of these remains will be variously interpreted, de-
pending upon the particular interest of the geologist or paleontologist
consulted. Nevertheless, it may be regarded that any remains en-
countered will contribute to our understanding of the geologic his-
tory and the paleoecological history of the Sen Francisco Bay Area.
Remains of large vertebrates are the most striking fossil remains
which may be encountered by the project. The likelihood of encoun-
tering such remains is considered high and may result in consid-
erable popular as well as scientific interest. Excavations into
present sediments will afford geologists an opportunity, as at the
Mountain View dunp, to study the stratigraphy of the Bay margins
and to collect fossil floras and faunas.
-------
IUT1GATI0N PROCEDURES
jgfhaeoloqical Resources
The following are submitted as possible mitigation procedures for
impacts upon archaeological resources:
1. No Project. This alternative would obviously negate
any possibility of impacts iqpon archaeological re-
sources through construction activities or growth
lnducemont.
2. Avoidance of those areas which nay contain archae-
ological resources. This alternative would require
modification! to alignment and/or installation de-
sian elements so as to avoid disturbance of Qyfo
end Qyf deposits.
3. Subsurface examinations of those portions of the
pipeline route which contain Qyfo and Qyf deposits.
This alternative would require the use of augering
or backhoe equipment to examine subsurface soils
in those areas which nay contain archaeological
tesources. The presence or absence of archaeologi-
cal remains Would determine the necessity of additional
archaeological investigations for the recovery of
cultural materials prior to the construction of
the pipeline.
4. Monitoring of excavations for the installation of
the pipeline. This alternative would require that
* qualified archaeologist or qualified archaeolo-
gists be present during the excavation of the pipe-
line trench through those areas which may contain
archaeological resources. Should archaeological
resources bo encountered, this alternative would
necessitate the halting of trenching activities in
those locations until the resources have been
subject to removal through scientific archaeology
ical excavations.
5. Excavation of proposed pipeline trench without
subsurface examinations or monitoring. This al-
ternative would mean the destruction and loss of
eny subsurface archaeological resources which may
be within the route of the pipeline trench.
Paleontoloqical Resources
The mitigation procedures for paleontological resources would
tially be the same as those for archaeological resources. The
possibilities include j
1. No Project. Same as with archaeological resources.
2. Avoidance of those areas which may contain paleonto-
logical resources. This alternative does, however,
sees far more difficult to achieve than with archae-
ological resources because of the higher probability
that paleontological resources may be found anywhere
along the alignment route.
3. 8ubsurface examinations within the alignment corri-
dor. As with archaeological resources, this alter-
native would require the use of equipment to examine
subsurface soils and is intended to determine if the
proposed project will encounter subsurface paleonto-
logical remains. The presence or absence of such
remains would again determine the necessity for ad-
ditional paleontological investigations.
4. Monitoring of excavations for the Installation of
the pipeline. Same as with archaeological resour-
ces but with qualified paleontologist(s) present.
5. Exoavation of proposed pipeline trench without sub-
surface examinations or monitoring. This alterna-
tive would mean the destruction and/or loss of any
subsurface paleontological resources which nay be
within the route of the pipeline trench.
-------
RECOMMENDATIONS
Archaeological Resources
It is our recomnendation that the following course of action be
taken to deal with the possibility of the presence of archaeological
resources. Prior to the excavation of the outfall pipeline trench,
subsurface examinations should be undertaken to inspect those areas
which may contain archaeological resources (i.e., Qyfo and £yf de-
posits) . Soil and geological profiles as nay be prepared for the
coapletion of the proposed project could be utilized to delineate
the areas to be tested.
At this point in tine, the available date does not allow us to
¦eke an absolute determination about the presence or absence of
archaeological resources within the align sent corridor. It is this
uncertainty which necessitates as many mitigation alternatives as
have been proposed. If by subsurface testing it is determined
that no archaeological resources will be encountered, there will
obviously be no need for any further mitigative mature*. Ihe
presence of archaeological resources would require additional in-
vestigations by qualified archaeologists and would aost likely
man the removal of any cultural remains which would suffer de-
struction or damage by project activities. The subsurface test-
ing could be accoaplished through the use of augering or backho-
ing equipment. In those areas where, because of groundwater or
other conditions it is not possible to conduct subeurface testing,
monitoring of trenching activities may seem a viable alternative.
J-8
Paleontological Resources
It is recommended that makers of the United States Geological
Survey, Menlo Parte, and the California Division of Mines and
Geology, San Francisco and Sacrancnto, be appraised as to the na-
ture of the project to be undertaken and consulted as to the ways
by which mothers of these agencies may take advantage of the project
to investigate the paleontology of the pipeline route. Agency
representatives may be contacted through ACRS which will serve as
a liason if necessary.

SUMMARY AMD CONCLUSIONS
SCHEDULE STUDIES
Latest available scheduling and cost information on all projects
in the Bay Area grant-funded wastewater management facilities
program was assembled. Using this information, a project imple-
mentation schedule in the form of a bar-chart was prepared for
each project. These charts are published separately as Appendix A.
Various analyses were performed using this schedule data. Cash
flows for engineering and construction activities, project review
work loads, bid date schedules, compliance date overruns, and a
project construction schedule analysis were obtained. These are
presented and discussed in Chapter III.
The major conclusions from the schedule studies are as follows:
1. The peak rate for engineering activity for the program
will come in early 1976. Some staffing problems may be
encountered for a few months in early 1976.
2. The State Board Grants Section is presently able to meet
the review work load and should be able to continue to
do so.
3. The rate of construction activity is expected to peak at
about $30 million per month in 1978. The construction
industry will vary probably be able to absorb the peak
construction rate with little a/train.
4. Delivery schedules on major equipment are always long,
but excessive delays are not anticipated. Pre-purchase
of equipment may be indicated in some cases.
5. Pipeline construction is expected to peak rather sharply.
There may be competition for larger pumping units,
possibly leading to delays.
6. Shortages of labor and common materials are not anti-
cipated. However, it would be advisable to monitor
these markets periodically.
K-l
-------
7. Clustering of several bid dates into a short time period
can lead to a reduced number of bids submitted and, thus,
to higher bids. Monitoring of project schedules and
management of bid dates to avoid conflicts is recommended.
8. A number of jobs now face overruns of NPDES compliance
dates, and the list may grow. The use of compliance dates
to stimulate progress toward implementation should be
handled with sensitivity by the regulatory agencies.
9. Around 20 percent of the projects have allotted construc-
tion times that may be unrealistically short, it is
recommended that schedules for these projects be reviewed.
For most of these projects, schedule adjustments could
be made with little adverse consequence if so indicated.
10. Schedule changes and delays can have impacts on water
quality, can create or reduce competition between projects
for services and materials, and can even alter the econo-
mic climate of the whole program. Monitoring of progress
of jobs and updating of schedule information can provide
the data to predict and deal with these effects.
WATER QUALITY
The effect on the water quality in San Francisco Bay of the
grant-funded wastewater facilities program was assessed by using
mathematical model results. Several previous studies had pro-
duced predictive water quality coefficients through the use of
mathematical models. These predictive coefficients were used in
this study, and the resulting information is presented in
Chapter IV.
The major conclusions on water quality are as follows:
1. Projects in the South Bay are the most critical. Those
south of Dumbarton Bridge are the most critical in the
South Bay.
2. Water quality problems in areas of the bay north of the
Richmond Bridge do not appear to exist, although there
may be very local effects at discrete discharge locations.
3. South of Dumbarton Bridge, treatment to the level of the
NPDES permits appears to improve dissolved oxygen values
K-2
to the required levels. However, this conclusion should
be viewed with some caution because a number of factors
have not been included in these analyses.
4. The removal of discharges from south of Dumbarton Bridge
will reduce the bay's maximum wastewater percentage from
47 percent to 7 percent. The potential problems in the
South Bay, which could result from high wastewater con-
centrations, will be largely alleviated.
5. The impact in 1980 of relocating the primary discharge
of San Francisco's North Point Plant to the Southeast
location is very evident. The resulting concentration
peak seems well below any limiting level, however.
Public Law 92-500 is the major impetus behind the grant-funded
facilities program, both in the Bay Area and nationally. In
accordance with the water quality requirements of the act, the
Environmental Protection Agency has set a minimum interim standard
for all dischargers of 85 percent removal of BOD (secondary treat-
ment) . It would appear from the results of analyses in thiB study
that this is the governing requirement for many of the projects in
the program, as opposed to alleviation of specific receiving water
problems.
PROBLEMS AND PROBLEM SOLUTIONS
The complexity and diversity of the $1.5 billion grant-funded
wastewater management program in the Bay Area guarantee that
problems will occur. Chapter V describes the problem areas that
have been identified and recommends means of dealing with them.
Major conclusions are as follows:
1. The types of potential problems are varied. All types
identified are significant in terms of value of projects
involved. The most significant problem areas in terms
of dollars are adverse public reaction and scheduling
problems.
2. Public agencies can take a variety of effective actions
in dealing with problem areas.
3. There is a significant role for BASSA in problem solution.
It will require aggressive action, especially in the area
-------
of scheduling, including the coordination of bid dates,
the establishment of realistic schedules, and the
reconciliation of reasonable schedules with NPDES permit
compliance schedules where the two differ.
For the sake of efficiency and accuracy, a short data processing
computer program was written to produce all results plotted in
this chapter. The program used the appropriate predictive co-
efficients and calculated all concentrations. The input was the
appropriate waste loads.
The following limitations and conditions apply to the results
given in this chapter:
The results displayed are based on steady-state conditions.
The available matrix load points do not always coincide with
the real waste load input points. Where points are not
coincident, the nearest matrix input point is used.
Industrial dischargers not tributary to municipal systems
are not included.
Municipal dischargers' projects that are not part of the
grant-funded program are not included.
Analyses are for the dry season. Storm runoff inputs are
not included.
Background pollutant inputs, e.g. from the atmosphere, the
ocean, and dry weather stream flows are not included.
The NPDES permit requirements for treatment levels and
relocations/consolidations are used to represent effluent
quality after project completion. Present discharge rates
are used throughout.
The discharger agencies' current schedules of completion
dates from the project implementation schedules (Appendix A)
ere used.
This study does not attempt to evaluate and justify individual
projects in the grant-funded program. The results obtained are
relative, not absolute, because of the limitations listed above.
The intention of this portion of the work is simply to compare
an that relative basis water quality impacts of the various
projects. it is hoped that this will aid decision-making in
the process toward implementation.

FEDERAL, STATE, AND REGIONAL LAWS, REGULATIONS, AND PLANS
-------
In the past five years, a number of federal, state, and
regional laws, regulations, and plans have been enact-
ed to protect and enhance the quality of the waters of
the Nation and California. These include regulations
and laws that are enforceable, as well as policies and
guidelines which set the direction for the achievement
of goals expressed in the laws. In the San Francisco
Bay Area, a number of regulatory bodies and govern-
mental unit6 are involved in the formulation and en-
forcement of these policies. Compliance with the
water quality program, as defined by these policies
was of primary importance in the selection of an
appropriate method of disposal of treated wastewaters
in south San Francisco Bay.
Complete tests of selected regulations are presented
below with summary introductory paragraphs of the
requirements and compliance schemes of these poli-
cies. The reader is also referred to the Tentative
Water Quality Control Plan Report, San Francisco
Bay Region (2), prepared for the State Water Resources
Control Board (November 1974) for a summary of the
policies and guidelines used in delineating the basin
plan.
L. 1 FEDERAL LAWS AND REGULATIONS
In October 1972, Public Law 92-500 was passed by
Congress. This law, known as the Federal Water
Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), provides for the
restoration and preservation of the quality of the
Nation's waters. It established the National Pollut-
ant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), a
national permit program with compliance schedules
for achieving the goal of compliance with water qual-
ity standards. Under this system, the State of Calif-
ornia must establish water quality standards, treat-
ment standards, or discharge requirements, and
discharges must achieve the treatment necessary to
meet these objectives by 1 July 1977. In order to
promote this compliance, Public Law 92-500 estab-
lished research and grant programs to develop and
implement wastewater management plans. Grant pro-
grams, such as the one under which the SBDA facil-
ities management plan has been developed, are jointly
administered by federal (EPA) and state (SWRCB)
governmental agencies.
L. 2 STATE PLANS AND POLICIES
The State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB)
of California has formulated water quality plans for
the state's water resources. Two of these plans
directly affect the selection of an alternative in the
SBDA program.
The Water Quality Control Plan for Ocean Water of
California (July 1972) sets limits on the bacteriologi-
cal, physical, chemical, biological, toxicity, and
radioactive characteristics for ocean waters and for
effluent quality. These limits were devised to protect
the industrial water supply, recreation, aesthetic
enjoyment, navigation, and marine resources such as
fish, -wildlife, and areas of special biological signifi-
cance. The plan went into effect 6 July 1972, and
dischargers to the ocean were to file reports by
1 January 1973 on waste treatment programs that
ensured compliance. The SWRCB is responsible for
reviewing and approving time schedules for such
compliance.
The Water Quality Control Policy for Enclosed Bays
and Estuaries of California (May 1974) contains two
specific provisions that affect the choice of a disposal
alternative for SBDA. The first is that the "State
Board and the San Francisco Regional Board shall
take such action as is necessary to assure the elimi-
nation of wastewater discharges to waters of the San
L-l
-------
Francisco Bay, south of Dumbarton Bridge, at the
earliest practicable date" (Chapter I, paragraph B. lb).
The second is that "where a discharger has an alter-
native of in-bay or ocean disposal and where both
alternatives offer a similar degree of environmental
and public health protection, prime consideration
shall be given to the alternative which offers the
greatest degree of flexibility for the implementation
of economically feasible wastewater reclamation
options" (Chapter I, paragraph B. 2). General limits
on wastewater discharges are also imposed, with the
effective date of the plan being May 1974. Staged
implementation of treatment programs to comply with
these goals and time schedules for compliance are
to be reviewed by the Regional Board.
Wastewater Reclamation Criteria (California Adminis-
trative Code, Title 22, Division 4, Environmental
Health, 1975) establishes acceptable levels of consti-
tuents in reclaimed water for irrigation and for recre-
ational impoundments. The policy of the state to en-
courage reclamation (defined in Sections 13510-13512
of the California Water Code) is reflected in these
criteria.
The Porter-Cologne Water Qualtiy Control Act (1974)
sets forth the goals and policies of the state, estab-
lishes the responsibilities of the State Water Resources
Control Board and the Regional Water Quality Control
Boards, and provides for funding of water quality
control projects.
L-2
L. 3 REGIONAL PLANS, POLICIES, AND
AGENCIES
As a patron of a comprehensive planning effort for the
development of water quality control plans for the
State of California, Brown and Caldwell (1974) pre-
pared a Tentative Water Quality Control Plan, San
Francisco Bay Basin (2), herein called the Tentative
Basin Plan. The goals of this plan include the satis-
faction of four objectives:
(1) Satisfy the requirements of the U.S. Environ-
mental Protection Agency for the allocation
of grant funds.
(2) Satisfy the requirements of the Porter-Cologne
Act for water quality control plans.
(3) Provide a basis for establishing priorities in
the disbursement of grant funds.
(4) Delineate water quality objectives to be
achieved and maintained.
In formulating the Tentative Basin Plan, the authors
endorsed the SBDA facilities management plan as
described by Bechtel (1974) and found reclamation and
reuse by groundwater recharge to be "uncertain until
the significance of potential health hazards from resi-
dual organics in wastewater are clearly defined. "
-------
The text on effluent limitation* and recommended
water quality objectives, as presented in the Tenta-
tive Basin Plan, are presented below.
Bay Area regional agencies with influence over waste-
water management include the Association of Bay Area
Governments (ABAG — planning for water, sewerage,
and drainage development), San Francisco Bay Con-
servation and Development Commission (BCDC —
construction in the Bay, salt ponds, or marshlands),
and the Bay Area Sewage Services Agency (BASSA —
regional water quality management planning and con-
struction and operation of required facilities).
L. 4 DESIGNATED PRESERVES AND LAND-USE
PLANNING
in the area of south San Francisco Bay, a number of
icres of land have been designated as wildlife refuges
>r Baylands preserves. The use of portions of these
treas as preserves constitutes a beneficial use of Bay
vaters, and, therefore, waste treatment and disposal
vould have to protect and enhance these areas. These
>reservee include the San Francisco National Wildlife
lefuge (U.S. Department of Interior, Fish and Wild-
ife Service administering), the Palo Alto Baylands
Reserve (City of Palo Alto), the Mountain View Bay-
ands Park, the Sunnyvale Baylands Park, and the
iroposed Santa Clara County Baylands Park system
including Charleston Slough, Salt Pond No. 1, a
ortion of the Sunnyvale Baylands Park, a portion of
lew Chicago Marsh, and portions of the Coyote Creek
'ark system).
In conjunction with the water quality planning and
parkable designation, the County of Santa Clara and
the Cities of San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale,
Mountain. View, and Palo Alto have developed land-
use plans that provide for development compatible
with the beneficial use of the Bay waters and marshes.
While these plans may conflict somewhat (Section II-2,
Land Use), all include a moratorium on development
in the Baylands marshes, sloughs, and salt ponds.
Construction in these areas must be compatible with
the proposed vise of the land and water for propagation
of fish and wildlife, for recreation, and as open space.
L. 5 DISCHARGER AUTHORITY
In order to comply with the above described laws,
policies, and plans, regional wastewater management
studies have been performed. As a result of these
studies, the South Bay Dischargers Authority, which
consists of regional treatment facilities at San Jose/
Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, and Palo Alto, have formu-
lated a wastewater management plan that includes up-
grading of current (1974) treatment levels and removal
of the discharges of wastewater from south of Dumbar-
ton Bridge. It is this management plant that has led to
to the approval by the EPA and the state of treatment
upgrading and to the preparation of an engineering,
economic, and environmental analysis of disposal
methods.

"TITLE II—GRANTS FOE CONSTRUCTION OF
TREATMENT WORKS
"purpose
"Sec. 201. (a) It is the purpose of this title to require and to assist
the development and implementation of waste treatment management
plans and practices which will achieve the goals of this Act.
"(b) Waste treatment management plans and practices shall provide
for the application of the best practicable waste treatment technology
before any discharge into receiving writers, including reclaiming and
recycling of water, and confined disposal of pollutants so they will not
migrate to cause water or other environmental pollution and shall pro-
vide for consideration of advanced waste treatment techniques.
"(c) To the extent practicable, waste treatment management shall be
on an ana wide basis and provide control or treatment of all point and
nonpoint sources of pollution, including in place or accumulated pol-
lution sources.
"(d) The Administrator shall encourage waste treatment manage-
ment which results in the construction of revenue producing facilities
providing for—
¦'(1) the recycling of potential sewnge pollutuiits through the
production of agriculture, silviculture, or nqunciilture products, or
nily combination thereof;
'¦(¦>) tire confined and contained disposal of pollutants not
recycled;
"(3) the reclamation of wastewater; and
"(4) the ultimate disposal of slndgv in a manner that will not
result in environmental hazards.
"(e) The Administrator shall encourage waste treatment manage-
ment which results in integrating facilities for sewage treatment and
recycling with facilities to treat, dispose of, or utilize other industrial
una municipal wastes, including but not limited to solid waste and
waste hent and thermal discharges. Such integrated facilities shall be
designed and operated to produce revenues m excess of capital and
operation and maintenance costs and such revenues shall be used by
the designated regional management agency to aid in financing other
environmental improvement programs.
"(f) The Administrator shall encourage waste treatment manage-
ment which combines 'open space' and recreational considerations with
such management.
"(k)(0 The Administrator is authorized to make grants to any
State, municipality, or intermunicipal or interstate agency for the
const ruction or pulilicly owned treatment works.
"(2) The Administrator shall not make grants from funds author- Conditio™,
iz.ed for any fiscal year beginning after June 30, 1974, to any State,
municipality, or intermunicipal or interstate agency for the erection,
building, acquisition, alteration, remodeling, improvement, or exten-
sion of treatment works unless the grant applicant has satisfactorily
demonstrated to the Administrator that—
"(A) alternative waste management techniques have been stud-
ied and evaluated and the works proposed for grant assistance
will provide for the application of the best practicable waste
treatment technology over the life of the works consistent with the
purposes of this title; and
"(B) as appropriate, the works proposed for grant assistance
will take into account and allow to the extent practicable the
application of technology at a later date which will provide for
the reclaiming or recycling of water or otherwise eliminate the
discharge of pollutants.
"(3) The Administrator shall not approve any grant after July 1.
1373. for treatment works under this section unless the applicant shows
to the satisfaction of the Administrator that ench sewer collection
system discharging into such treatment works is not subject to excessive
infiltration.
"(4) The Administrator is authorized to make grants to npplicants
for treatment works grants under this section for such sewer system
evaluation studies as may be necessary to carry out the requirements
of paragraph (3) of this subsection. Such grants shall be made in
accordance with rules and regulations pi-oniulgated by the Adminis-
trator. Initial rules and regulations shall be promulgated under this Rules and
Paragraph not later than 120 days nftcuthe date of enactment of the regulation*,

"Sec. 402. (a)(1) Except as provided in sections 318 and 404 of this Permits,
Act, the Administrator may, after opportunity for public hearing, i"u»no«.
issue a permit for the discharge of any pollutant, or combination of
pollutants, notwithstanding section 301(a), upon condition that such
discharge will meet either all applicable requirements under sections
H01, 30*2. 306, 307, 308. and 403 of this Act, or prior to the taking of
necessary implementing actions relating to all such requirements, such
conditions as the Administrator determines are necessary to carry out
the provisions of this Act.

to assure compliance with the requirements of paragraph (1) of this
subsection, including conditions on data and information collection,
reporting, and such other requirements as he deems appropriate.
"(3) The permit program of the Administrator under paragraph
(1) of this subsection, and permits issued thereunder, shall be subject
to the same terms, conditions, and requirements as apply to a State
permit program and permits issued thereunder under subsection (b)
of this section.

unless revoked, modified, or suspended in accordance with the pro-
visions of this Act.
"(5) No permit for a discharge into the navigable waters shall be
issued under section 13 of the Act of March 3, 1899, after the date of
enactment of this title. Each application for a permit under section
13 of the Act of March 3. 1899. pending on the date of enactment of
this Act shall be deemed to be an application for a permit under this
section. The Administrator shall authorize a State, which he deter-
mines has the capability of administering a permit program which
will carry out the objective of this Act. to issue permits for discharges
into the navigable waters within the jurisdiction of such State. The
Administrator may exercise the authority granted him bv the pre-
ceding sentence only during the period which begins on the date of
ennctment of this Act and ends either on the ninetieth day after the
date of the first promulgation of guidelines required by section 304
(h) (-2) of this Act. or the date of approval by the Administrator of
a permit program for such State under subjection (b) of this sec-
tion, whichever date first occurs, and no such authori7j>*'on to a State
shall extend beyond the last day of such period. Each such permit
shall be subject to such conditions as the Administrator determines
are necessarv to carry out the provisions of this Act. No such permit
shall issue if the Administrator objects to such issuance.
"(b) At any time after the promulgation of the guidelines required statt p«m:
by subsection (h) (2) of section 304 of this Act, the Governor of each programs.
State desiring to administer its own permit program for discharges

WATER QUALITY CONTROL PLAN
FOR
OCEAN WATERS OF CALIFORNIA
WllKREAS:
1. The Board finds it necessary to promulgate water quality
objectives ajid effluent quality requirements to govern the
disposal of waste into the coastal waters of California;
2. The Board, after extensive review and analysis of testimony
received at public hearings, has determined that protection
of' beneficial usm of the ocean waters of the State will
mquirr maximum practicable control of waste substances which
may unreasonably impair those uses;
The Moar'l finds that maximum practicable control of waste
o.'tn b^ ichicved thorough a comprehensive program which com-
biner. source control of waste and modern waste treatment
techno1ogy;
4. The Board believers that application of current technology
through intelligent design of control systems rather than
irrational specification of arbitrary treatment methods
can provide the highest degree of water quality protection
without unreasonable cost;
5. The Board intends to implement monitoring programs to deter-
mine compliance with water quality objectives and effluent
quality requirements, and to yield other information such as
the effectiveness of source control programs and the identi-
fication of any short-term or long-term degradation of marine
biotas
6. The Board intends to review all available data from time to
time to determine the efficacy of control programs for pro-
tecting water quality;
TflEREFOkK, BK IT RESOLVED, that
1. The Board hereby adopts the "WATER QUALITY CONTROL .PLAN FOR
OCEAN WATERS OF CALIFORNIA"
2. The Board hereby directs all affected California Regional
Water Quality Control Boards to implement the provisions of
the PLAN.
3. The Board hereby directs its Executive Officer to issue
guidelines for monitoring the effects of waste discharges
to the ocean at the earliest possible date.
Resolution No. 72-45
'i. The Board hereby declares itskintent to determine from time
to t.ime the need for revising the PLAN to assure that it
reflects current knowledge of water quality objectives
necessary to protect beneficial uses of ocean waters snd
that it is based on latest technological improvements.
CERTIFICATION
The undersigned. Executive Officer of the State Water Resources
Control Board, does hereby certify that the foregoing is a full,

CHAPTER 111.
PRINCIPLES FOR MANAGEMENT OF
WASTE DISCHARGES TO THE OCEAN
A. Waste management systems that discharge to the ocean must
be designed and operated in a manner that will maintain
the indigenous marine life and a healthy and diverse
marine community.
B, Waste discharged to the ocean must be essentially free^/
of:
1. material that is floatable or will become
floatable upon discharge,
2. settleable material or substances that form
sediments which degrades/ benthic communities
or other aquatic life,
3. substances toxic to marine life due to increases
in concentrations in marine waters or sediments,
4. substances that significantly decrease the
natural light to benthic communities and other
marine life, and
5. materials that result in esthetically undesir-
able discoloration of the ocean surface.
C. Ocean outfalls and diffusion systems must be designed to
achieve rapid initial dilution!^./ and effective disper-
sion to minimize concentrations of substances not removed
bv treatment.
Location of waste discharges must be determined after a
detailed assessment of the oceanographic characteristics

WATER QUALITY CONTROL POLICY
FOR THE SVCLOSKD
BAYS AMD ESTUARIES OF CALIFOUTIA^
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this policy is to provide water quality principles
and guidelines to prevent water quality degradation and to
protect the beneficial uses of waters of enclosed bays and
estuaries. Decisions on water quality control plans, waste
discharge requirements, construction grant projects, water
rights permits, and other specific water quality control imple-
menting actions of the State and Regional Boards shall be
consistent with the provisions of thie policy.
The Board declares its intent to determine from time to time
the need for revising this policy.
This policy does not apply to wastes from vessels or land
runoff except as specifically indicated for siltation
(Chapter III 4.) and combined sewer flows (Chapter III 7,).
L-20
CHAPTER I.
PRINCIPLES FOR MANAGEMENT OF
HATER QUALITY IN ENCLOSED BAYS MID ESTUARIES
It is the policy o£ the State Board that the discharge of
municipal wastewaters and industrial process waters^
(exclusive of cooling water discharges) to enclosed bays and
estuaries, other than the San Francisco Bay-Delta system, shall be
phased out at the earliest practicable date. Exceptions to
this provision may be granted by a Regional Board onl£ when
the Regional Board finds that the wastewater in question
would consistently be treated and discharged In such a
manner that it would enhance the quality of receiving waters
above that which would occur in the absence of the discharge.
With regard to the waters of the San Francisco Bay-Delta
system, the State Board finds and direct* as follows:
la. There is a considerable body of scientific
evidence and opinion which suggests the
existence of biological degradation due
to long-term exposure to toxicants which
have been discharged to the San Francisco
Bay-Delta system* Therefore, implementation
of a program which controls toxic effects
through a combination of source control for
toxic materials, upgraded wastewater treatment,
and Improved dilution of wastewaters, shall
proceed as rapidly as is practicable with the
objective of providing full protection to the
biota and the beneficial uses of Bay-Delta waters
in a cost-effective manner.
-------
A comprehensive understanding of the biological
effects of waatewater discharge on San Francisco
Bay, as a whoI*, sust await tha results of
further scientific study. There Is, however,
sufficient evidence at this time to Indicate
that the continuation Of wastewater discharges
to ths southern reach of Sen Francisco Bay,
south of the Dumbarton Bridge, is an unacceptable con-
dition. The State Board and the San Francisco Regional
Board shall take such action as is necessary to assure
the elisiinetion of wastewater discharges to waters
of the S«n Francisco Bay, south of Dumbarton
Bridge, at tha earlleet practicable date.
In order to prevent excessive investment Which
would unduly impact the Halted funds evsllsble
to California for construction of publicly owned
treatment works, construction of such works shall
proceed in a staged faahlon, and each stage shsll
be fully evaluated by the State end Regional Boards
to determine the necessity for additional expen-
ditures. Monitoring requirements shall be eateb^
11shed to evaluate any effects on wster guallty,
particularly changes In species diversity
and abundance, which nay result from the
opsrstion of each stage of planned facilities
and source control programs. Such a staged
construction program, in combination with an
increased monitoring effort# will result in
the most cost-effective and rapid progress
toward a goal of maintaining and enhancing
water quality in the San Francisco Bay-Delta
system.
Where a wasVe discharger has an alternative of
in-bay or ocean disposal and where both alter-
natives offer a similar degree of environmental
and public health protection, prime consideration
shall be given to the alternative which offers
the greater degree of flexibility for the
implementation of economically feasible waste-
water reclamation options.
-------
The following policies apply to all of California's enclosed
bays and estuaries:
1. Persistent or cumulative toxic substances shall
be removed from the waste to the maximum extent
practicable through source control or adequate
treatment prior to discharge.
2. Bay or estuarine outfall and diffuser systems
shall be designed to achieve the most rapid
initial dilution^ practicable to minimize con-
centrations of substances not removed by source
control or treatment.
3. Wastes shall not be discharged into or adjacent
to areas where the protection of beneficial
uses requires spatial separation from waste
fields.
4. Waste discharges shall not cause a blockage of
zones of passage required for the migration of
anadromous fish.
5. Nonpoint sources of pollutants shall be controlled
to the maximum practicable extent.

AHMfnigtration of Clean Water flrmf Program
the Clean Hater Grants Progria shall require that the
environmental impact report for any existing or proposed
wastewater discharge to enclosed bays and estuaries,
other than the San Francisco Bay-Delta system, shall
evaluate whether or not the discharge would enhance
the quality of receiving waters above that which would
occur in the absence of the discharge.
fte Clean Water Grants Program shall require that each
study plan and project report (beginning with P. Y. 1974*75
projects) for a proposed wastewater treatment or conveyance
facility within the San Francisco Bay-Delta system shall
contain an evaluation of the degree to which the proposed
project represents a necessary and cost-effective stage in
a program leading to compliance with an abjective of full
protection of the biota and beneficial uses of Bay-Delta
waters.
Administration of Water Rictots
Any applicant for a permit to appropriate from a water-
course which is tributary to an enclosed bay or estuary
may be required to present to the State Board an analysis
of the anticipated effects of the proposed appropriation
on water quality and beneficial uses of the effected bay
or estuary.
Monitoring Program
The Regional Board shall require discharger* to conduct
self-monitoring programs and submit reports aa necessary
to determine compliance with waste discharge requirements
and to evaluate the effectiveness of wastewater control
programs. Such Monitoring programs shall comply with
applicable sections of the State Board's Administrative
Procedures, and any additional guidelines which may be
issued by the Executive Officer of the State Board.

FOOTNOTES
Enclosed bays are indentations along the coast which
enclose an area of oceanic water within distinct headlands
or harbor works. Enclosed bays include all bays where the
narrowest distance between headlands or outer most harbor
works is less than 7v percent of the greatest dimension
of the enclosed portion of the bay* This definition
includes, but is not limited to: Humboldt Bay, Bodega
Harbor, Tomales Bay, Drakes Estero, San Francisco Bay,
Morro Bay, Los Angeles-Long Beach Harbor, Upper and Lower
Newport Bay, Mission Bay, and San Diego Bay.
EBtuaries, including coastal lagoons, are waters at the
mouths of streams which serve as mixing zones for fresh
and ocean waters.
Mouths of streams which are temporarily separated from the
ocean by sandbars shall be considered as estuaries.
Estuarine waters will generally be considered to extend
from a bay or the open ocean to a point upstream where
there is no significant mixing of fresh water and seawater.
Estuarine waters shall be considered to extend seaward if
significant mixing of fresh and saltwater occurs in the open
coastal waters. Estuarine waters include, but are not
limited to, the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta, as defined
by Section 12220 of the California Water Code, Suisun Bay,
Carquinez Strait downstream to Carquinez Bridge, and
appropriate areas of the Smith, Klamath, Mad, Eel, Noyo,
and Russian Rivera.
For the purpose of this policy, treated ballast waters and
innocuous nonmunicipal wastewater such as clear brines, wash-
water, and pool drains are not necessarily considered industrial
process wastes, and nay be allowed by Regional Boards under dis-
charge requirements that provide protection to the beneficial
uses of the receiving water.
Undiluted wastewaters covered under this exception provision
shall not produce less than 90 percent survival, 50 percent of
the time, and not leas than 70 percent survival, 10 percent of
the time of a standard test species in a 96-hour static or
continuous flow bioassay test using undiluted waste. Maintenance
of these levels of survival shall not by themselves constitute
sufficient evidence that the discharge satisfies the criteria
of enhancing the quaiity of the receiving water above that
which occur in the absence of the discharge. Full and
uninterrupted protection for the beneficial uses of the
receiving water must be maintained. A Regional Board may
reqruire physical, chemical, bioassay, and * icteriologlcal
assessment of treated wastewater quality prior to authorising
release to the bay or estuary of concern.
Initial dilution zone is defined as the volume of water near
the point of diecharge within which the waste immediately
mixes with the bay or estuarine water due to the momentum of
the waete discharge and the difference in density between the
waste and receiving water.
A new discharge is a discharge for which a Regional Board has
not received a report of waste discharge prior to the date
of adoption of this policy, and which was not in existence
prior to the date of adoption of this policy.
Rubbish and refuse include any cans, bottles, paper, plastic,
vegetable matter, or dead aninala or dead fish deposited or
caused to be depoaited by man.
The prohibition does not apply to cooling water streams
which comply with the "Hater Quality Control Plan for the
Control of Temperature in Coastal and Interstate Waters and
Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of California" - State Water
Resources Control Board.

STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
RESOLUTION NO. 74- 43
WATER QUALITY CONTROL POLICY FOR THE
ENCLOSED BAYS AND ESTUARIES OF CALIFORNIA
WHEREAS:
1. The Board finds it necessary to promulgate water quality
principles, guidelines, effluent quality requirements, and
prohibitions to govern the disposal of waste into the
enclosed bays and estuaries of California;
2. The Board, after review and analysis of testimony received
at public hearings, has determined that it is both feasible
and desirable to require that the discharge of municipal
wastewaters and industrial process waters to enclosed bays
and estuaries (other than the San Francisco Bay-Delta system)
should only be allowed when a discharge enhances the quality
of the receiving water above that which would occur in the
absence of the discharge;
3. The Board has previously promulgated requirements for the
discharge of thermal and elevated temperature wastes to
enclosed bays and estuaries (Water Quality Control Plan for
Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate Waters
and Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of California - SWRCB, 1972)
4. The Board, after review and analysis of testimony received
at public hearings, has determined that implementation of a
program which controls toxic effects through a combination
of source control for toxic materials, upgraded waste treat-
ment, and improved dilution of wastewaters, will result in
timely and cost-effective progress toward an objective of
providing full protection to the biota and beneficial uses
of San Francisco Bay-Delta waters;
5. The Board intends to implement monitoring programs to determine
the effects of source control programs, upgraded treatment,
and improved dispersion of wastewaters on the condition of
the biota and beneficial uses of San Francisco Bay-Delta
waters.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that
1. The Board hereby adopts the "Water Quality Control Policy
for the Enclosed Bays and Estuaries of California".
2. The Board hereby directs all affected California Regional
Water Quality Co.itro2 Boards to implement the provisions of
the policy.

3. The Board hereby declares its intent to determine from time
to time the need for revising the policy to assure that it
reflects current knowledge of water quality objectives
necessary to protect beneficial uses of bay and estuarine
waters and that it is based on latest technological improvements.

INTENT OF REGULATIONS
The intent of these regulations is to establish acceptable levels of
constituents of reclaimed water and to prescribe means for assurance
of reliability in the production of reclaimed water in order to ensure
that the use of reclaimed water for the specified purposes does not
impose undue risks to health. The levels of constituents in combination
with the means for assurance of reliability constitute reclamation crite-
ria as defined in Section 13520 of the California Water Code.
As affirmed in Sections 13510 to 13512 of the California Water Code,
water reclamation is in the best public interest and the policy of the
State is to encourage reclamation. The reclamation criteria are intend-
ed to promote development of facilities which will assist in meeting
water requirements of the State while assuring positive health protec-
tion. Appropriate surveillance and control of treatment facilities, distri-
bution systems, and use areas must be provided in order to avoid health
hazards. Precautions must be taken to avoid direct public contact with
reclaimed waters which do not meet the standards specified in Article
5 for nonrestricted recreational impoundments.

Chatter 11. Discharges From Houseboats on or in
the Waters of the State
13900. The Legislature finds and hereby declares that discharges
from houseboats in or on the waters of the state constitute a signifi-
cant source of waste as defined in Section 13050; that discharges of
waste from houseboats in or on the waters of the state may impair the
beneficial uses of the waters of the state to the detriment of the health,
safety, and welfare of the people of the state; and that the discharges
of waste from houseboats are not adequately regulated. The Legislature
therefore declares that the people of the state have a primary interest
in the coordination and implementation of the regulation of discharges
of waste from houseboats on or in the waters of the state.
13901. As used in this article, "houseboat" means a watercraft or
industrial or commercial structure on or in the waters of the state,

of discharges of waste from houseboats and shall recommend provisions
necessary to control the discharges of waste from houseboats into the
waters.
13904. Each such affected city or county shall within 120 days
of receipt of the notice from the regional board, adopt an ordinance
for control of discharges of waste from houseboats within the area for
which notice was given by the board, A copy of such ordinance shall
be sent to the regional board on its adoption and the regional board
shall transmit such ordinance to the state board, the State Department
of Health and the Department of Navigation and Ocean Development.
13905. Such city or county ordinance shall take effect fiO days from
the date of adoption by the city or county, unless the regional board
holds a public hearing on the matter and determines that the city or
county ordinance is not sufficiently restrictive to protect the quality of
the waters affected. If the board makes such a determination, it shall
so report to the affected city or county and also recommend the ordi-
nance, or modification of the city or county ordinance, which it deter-
mines is necessary.
13906. If a city or county fails to adopt an ordinance controlling
discharges of waste from houseboats within 120 days of receipt of the
regional board's notice pursuant to Section 13903, or fails to adopt
or modify such ordinance in the manner determined as necessary by
the regional board pursuant to Section 13905, within 90 days of
receipt of the regional board's notice, the regional board may adopt
regulations necessary for the control of discbarges of waste from house-
boats for the area designated. Such regional board regulations shall
take effect 30 days from the date of their adoption and shall be en-
forced by the city or county and have the same force and effect as it
adopted as a city or county ordinance.

adopted by a regional board, or any failure of a regional board to act
may be reviewed by the state board, and shall be reviewed by the
state board on the request of any affected city or county. The state
board has all powers ns to the review of action or inaction of a regional
board under this article as it has to other action or inaction of a
regional board, including all powers granted to a regional board to
initially determine areas in which discharges of waste from house-
boats are inadequately regulated by local ordinance and to adopt
regulations when a city or county fails to do so, if the state board finds
that appropriate action has not been taken by a regional board. Any

to handle and treat any such waste and transportation facilities suffi-
cient to transport any resultant effluent outside the Lake Tahoe water-
shed. except that such waste may be placed in a holding tank which
is pumped and transported to such treatment and transportation facili-
ties.
As used in this section "waste" shall not include solid waste refuse.
The further maintenance or use of cesspools, septic tanks, or other
means of waste disposal in the Lake Tahot watershed on or after Jan-
nary 1, 1972, by any person, except as permitted pursuant to this
section, is a public nuisance. The occupancy of any building from which
waste is discharged in violation of this section is a public nuisance, and
an action may be brought to enjoin any person from occupying any
such building.
This section shall not be applicable to a particular area of the Lake
Tahoe watershed whenever the regional board for the Lahontan region
finds that the continued operation of septic tanks, cesspools, or other
means of waste disposal in such area will not, individually or collec-
tively. directly or indirectly, affect the quality of the waters of Lake
Tahoe and that the sewering of such area would have a damaging effect
upon the environment.
This section shall not affect the applicability of Section 13950.

INTENT OF RfiCUIATXON / ^
/ / '{ ^
These regulations prescribe criteria for reclaimed' "water intended
for recharge by surface spreading to a subterranean water bearing stra-tuu
that is used or Intended to be used as, or is suitable for, a source^t^
vater supply for domestic purposes, L3uch recharge projects constitute
a controlled use of reclamed water which require reclamation criteria.
Die regulations are particularly directed at the control of stable
organic substances because of the possible health effects which may be
associated with long-tern ingestion. A national effort is underway to
determine the presence, concentration, and health significance of organic
chemicals in water. Limits cannot be specified at present because of
the lack of knowledge of health effects and the large number of conpounds
which may be present.
ttie regulations provide for control of organic chemicals and other
contaminants through process and quality requirements; and requirements
directed at the recharge operation. Biese elements of control may be
modified as more information becomes available.
The combination of controls called for in the regulations are the
w
-------
reclaimed water of unacceptable quality could be recharged In the
intervals between sampling. Ike presence of unacceptable quality
conditions can be detected much more readily in the groundwater than
in the reclaimed water because of the slower movement and quality
changes of groundwater. Consequently, a groundwater monitoring
program is required which will determine vater quality prior to
extraction at domestic water supply wells.
A time requirement of one year retention underground has been
specified for several reasons. The time period would allow an adequate
Interval for detection and correction of any adverse groundwater quality
conditions resulting from the recharge before the groundwater reaches
domestic water supply wells. The time requirement would also assure
the absence of biological pathogens. Ho disinfection requirement has
been applied to the reclaimed water and, although soil percolation has
been demonstrated to be reasonably effective in the removal of bacteria
and virus, the time requirement would provide assurance of pathogen
elimination.
lhe intent of the quantity requirement is to assure that not more
than 50# of the water extracted from any point in a groundwater basin
is of reclaimed water origin. The long term domestic use of reclaimed
water without this amount of dilution is not acceptable to the
Department of Health. Direct evidence of meeting the dilution require*
Bent would be provided by spreading equal amounts of natural waters with
the reclaimed water during the year. In the absence of this, strong
evidence would be required that dilution with natural groundwaters
would at all times occur.

L-48
The regulations are Intended to apply to wastewaters from
residential ccnaunities and not highly induiitrallzed areas where
concern with toxic substances would be much greater. In order to
identify the types of wastewater which contribute to the wastewater
reclamation operation and to minimize adverse effects which any be
associated with wastewaters of otber than domestic origin, a source
control program Is required, this program should follow the prograa
described in the California Ctate Water Resources Control Board
document, "Guidelines for Determining Effectiveness of Local Source
Control Program. ''
In order to prpvide opportunity for the development of Information
on groundwater recharge Under selected and controlled conditions, ground-
water recharge demonstration projects which do not provide the prescribed
treatment may be approved by the Department of Health on a case-by-case
basis. Such demonstration projects must be preceded by adequate pilot
studies and shall be installed only where there is minimum human
exposure.

STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
TIm Stat* Water Bwnreca Control Board was established bjr the 1967 Legisla-
ture (Stats. 1967, Chap. 284). The Board is divided into two statutory divisions:
Water Rights and Water Quality, each with a division chief. In addition, a
Legal Division and Dirlatona of Planning and Reaearcb and Administrative Serv-
leea have bean eetabllshed.
The Board aueoecM to the functions of th« former State Water Rights Board
and the State Water Quality Control Board, which ware abolished. The formation
of the Board raaulted ia the coordination of the water righta, water pollution, end
nater quality Inactions of the State Government. Water pollution and water
quality are now taken Into account in conjunction with availability of unappro-
priated water whenever applications for appropriation of water are considered.
The Board nay repraaent state or local agencies in any matters involving the
Federal Government which are within the scope of its powers and duties.

Regional Water Quality Control Boards
The State ia divided into aloe regions, each with a regional board composed of
nine members appointed by the Governor for terms of four year*. The boards
are authorised to adopt regional water quality control plaos, preacribe waste
dischirge requirements, and perform other functions concerning water quality
control within their respective regions, subject to State Board review or approval.
This pamphlet contains only thoee portions of the Watc Code which concern the
organisation of the State Board, water quantity-quality relationships, water recla-
mation and ground water lareatigattau by the Department of Water Resource*
(an Independent agency), and water quality control. Adtniniatration by the

water pursuant to Section 12617.1 or 12923.1 of this code, or in reliance
upon inveatigation by any governmental agency, the board may file
an action in the superior court to restrict pumping, or to impose
physical solutions, or both, to the extent necessary to prevent destruc-
tion of or irreparable injury to the quality of such water. In such
action, all of the claimants to the use of the affected water known to
the board, except claimant* to the use of minor quantities of water as
defined in Section 2102, shall be named as defendanta. In any water-
shed or ground water baain wherein (a) all or substantially all of the
rights to water have been adjudicated and the court has retained con-
tinuing jurisdiction ariaing from the adjudication, or (b) wherein
such action is pending, any such proceedings by the board shall be
undertaken only by intervention by the board in such existing action.

need not be mailed to producers of minor quantities of water as
defined in Section 2102.
(b) In die event the board decides that the righta to the use of the
ground water must be adjudicated in order to require the restriction
of pumping or physical solution necessary to preserve it from destruc-
tion or irreparable injury to quality, the board shall first determine
whether any local public agency overlying all or a part of the ground
water basin will undertake auch adjudication of water righta. If such
local agency commences an adjudication, the board shall take no
farther action, except that the board may, through the Attorney
General, become a party to such action.
(c) In the event no local agency commencea such action within 90
day* after notice of the decision of the board, the board ahall file
each action.

charger are approaching capacity, the board may require the dis-
charger to submit for approval of the board, with sueh modifications
as it may deem necessary, a detailed time schedule of specific actions
the discharger shall take in order to correct or prevent a violation of
requirements.
(Amended by Stats. 1971, Ch. 1288.)
13301. When a regional board finds that a discharge of waste is
taking place or threatening to take place in violation of requirements
or discharge prohibitions prescribed by the regional board or the state
board, the board may issue an order to cease and desist and direct that
those persons not complying with the requirements or discharge pro-
L-68
hibitions (a) comply forthwith, (b) comply in accordance with a time
schedule set by the board, or (c) in the event of a threatened violation,
tnke appropriate remedial or preventive action. In the event of an
existing or threatened violation of waste discharge requirements in the
operation of u community sewer system, cense and desist orders may
restrict or prohibit the volume, type, or concentration of waste that
might be added to such system by dischargers who did not discharge
into the system prior to the issuance of the cease and desist order.
Cease and desist orders may be issued directly by a board, after notice
and hearing, or in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section
13302
(Amended by Stats. 1971, Ch. 1288.)
13301.1. The regional board shall render to persons against whom a
cease and desist order is issued pursuant to Section 13301 all possible
assistance in making available current information on successful and
economical water quality control programs, as such information is
developed by the state board pursuant to Section 13167, and informa-
tion and assistance in applying for federal and state funds necessary
to comply with the cease and desist order.
(Added by Stats. 1970, Ch. 1464.)

(b) Dae notice of the hearing ahall be given to all affected persons.
After the hearing, the panel shall report its proposed decision and
order to the regional board and shall supply a copy to all parties who
appeared at the hearing and requested a copy. Members of the panel
are not disqualified from sitting as members of the board in deciding
the matter. The board, after making such independent review of
the record and taking such additional evidence as may be necessary,
may adopt, with or without revision, the proposed decision and order
of the panel.
18303. Cease and desist orders of the board shsll become effective
and final upon issuance thereof. Copies shall be served forthwith by
personal service or by registered mnil upon the person being charged
with the violation of the requirements and u|kmi other affected persons
who appeared at the hearing and requested a copy.
(Amended by Stats. 1972, Ch. 813.)
13304. (a) Any person who discharges waste into the waters of
this state in violation of any waste discharge requirement or other
order issued by a regional board or the state board, or who intentionally
or negligently causes or permits any waste to be discharged or de-
posited where it is, or probably will be, discharged into the waters of
the state and creates, or threatens to create, a condition of pollution
or nuisance, shall upon order of the regional board clean up such
waste or abate the effects thereof or. in the case of threatened pollution
or nuisance, take other necessary remedial action. Upon failure of any
person to comply with such cleanup or abatement order, ths Attorney
Oeneral, at the request of the board, shall petition the superior court
for that county for the issuance of an injunction requiring such person
-------
to comply therewith. In any such suit, the court shall have jurisdiction
to grant « prohibitory or mandatory injunction, either preliminary or
permanent, as the facts may warrant.
(b) The regional board may expend available moneys to perform
any cleanup, abatement, or remedial work required under the circum-
stances set forth in subdivision (nl which in it* judgment is required
by the magnitude of endeavor or urgency of prompt action needed to
prevent substantial pollut ion, nuisance, or injury to any waters'of the
state. Such action may be taken in default of. or in addition to. reme-
dial work by the waste discharger or other person*, and regardless of
whether injunctive relief is being sought. The regional board may per-
form the work itself, or by or in cooperation with any other govern-
mental agency, and may use rented tools or equipment, either with
operator* furnished or unoperated. Notwithstanding any other provi-
sions of law. the regional board may enter into oral contracts for such
work, and the contracts, whether written or oral, may include provi-
sions for equipment rental and in addition the furnishing of labor and
materials necessary to accomplish the work. Such contracts shall be
exempt from approval by the Department of General Sen-ices pursuant
to the provisions of Section 14780 of the Government Code.
(c) If such waste is cleaned up, the effects thereof abated, or, in the
case of threatened pollution or nuisance, other necessary remedial
action is taken by any governmental agency, the person or persons who
discharged the waste, within the meaning of subdivision (a), shall be
liable to that governmental agency to the extent of the reasonable costs
actually incurred in cleaning up such waste, abating the effects thereof,
or taking other remedial action. The amount of such coats shall be
recoverable in a civil action by. and paid to, such governmental agency
and the state board to the extent of the hitter's contribution to the
cleanup costs from the State Water Pollution Cleanup and Abatement
Account or other available funds.
(Amended by Stats. lf>71. Ch. 1288).
(Xote the new authority of regional boards in subsection (b) to
expend available moneys to perform cleanup work when a cleanup
order has been issued under subsection (a), and prompt action is
needed to prevent substantial pollution or nuisance. Pull authority to
take all necessary fictions can be delegated to the executive officer (Sec-
tion 13223). "Available moneys" ordinarily refers to moneys in the
State Water Pollution and Abatement Account (Section 13441). Funds
made available from an outside source, such as the Federal Govern-
ment, could also constitute "available moneys". Note that authority
to expend moneys for cleanup requires an exercise of judgment. For
accounting purposes it is desirable that the exercise of judgment be
in writing. A letter to the state board should request needed funds
and give the reason in the context of the statute, such as the existence
of an "urgency of prompt action is needed to prevent substantial
pollution". A previous phone call could ascertain whether necessary
funds are available.)

nuisance exists which has resulted from a nonoperating industrial or
business location within its region, a regional board may cause notice
of such condition to be posted upon the property in question. The
notice shall state that such condition constitutes either a condition of
pollution or nuisance which must be abated by correction of such con-
dition, otherwise it will be corrected by the city, county, other public
agency, or regional board at the property owner's expense. Such
notice shall further state that all property owners having any objec-
tions to the proposed correction of such condition may attend a hearing
to be held by the board at a time not lass than 10 days from the posting
of the notice.
(b) Notice of the hearing prescribed in this section shall be given
in the county where the property is located pursuant to Section 6061
of the Government Code.
(c) In addition to posting and publication, notice as required in this
section shall be mailed to the property owners as their names and
addresses appear from the last equalized assessment role.
(d) At the time stated in the notices, the board shall hear and con-
sider all objections or protests, if any, to the proposed correction of
the condition, and may continue the hearing from time to time.
(e) After Anal action is taken by the board on the disposition of
any protests or objections, or in case no protests or objections are
received, the board shall request the city, county, or other public
agency in which the conditions of pollution or the nuisance exists to
abate it. In the event that such city, county, or other public agency
does not abate such condition within a reasonable time the board shall
cause the condition to be abated. It may proceed by force account,
contract or other agreement or any other method deemed most ex-
pedient by the board, and shall apply to the state board for the neces-
sary funds.
(f) The owner of the property on which the condition exists, or is
created, is liable for all reasonable costs incurred by the board or any
city, couuty, or public agency in abating the condition. The amount of
the cost for abating the condition upon the property in question shall
constitute a lien upon the property so posted upon the recordation of
a notice of lien, particularly describing the property on which the con-
dition was abated and the amount of such lien, in the office of the
county recorder of the oounty in which the property is 4ocated. Upon
such recordation, the lien shall have the same force, effect, and priority
aa if it had been a judgment lien imposed upon real property which
was not exempt from execution, except that it shall attach only to the
property so posted and described in such notice of lien. Such lien may
be foreclosed by an action brought by the city, county, other public
agency, or state board, on behalf of the regional board, for a money
judgment, Money recovered by a judgment in favor of the state board
shall be returned to the State Water Pollution Cleanup and. Abatement
Account.

a regional board, may at any time release all or any portion of the
property subject to a lien imposed pursuant to subdivision (f) from
the lien or subordinate such lien to other liens and encumbrances if
it determines that the amount owed is sufficiently secured by a lien
on other property or that the release or subordination of such lien
will not jeopardize the collection of such amount owed. A certificate
by such board, city, county, or other public agency to the effect that
L-69
-------
any property has been released from such lien or that such lien has
been subordinated to other liens and encumbrances shall be conclusive
evidence that the property has been released or that the lien has been
subordinated as provided in Riich certificate.
(h) As nsed in this section, the words "nonoperating" or "not in
operation" means the business is not conducting routine operations
usually associated with that kind of business.

Chapter 13. Clean Water Bon-d Law op 1970
(Added by Stats. 1970. Ch. 508. subject to referendum. Approved by
vote at election held on November 3.1970)
13970. This chapter may be cited as the Clean Water Bond Law of
1970.
13971. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that clean water,
which fosters the health of the people, the beauty of their environment,
the expansion of industry and agriculture, the enhancement of fish and
wildlife, the improvement of recreational facilities and the provision of
pure drinking water at a reasonable cost, is an essential public need.
Although the State of California is endowed with abundant lakes and
ponds, streams and rivers, and hundreds of miles of shoreline, as well
as large quantities of underground water, these vast water resources
are threatened by pollution, which, if not checked, will impede the
state's economic, community and social growth. The chief pause of
pollution is the discharge of inadequately treated waste into the waters
of the state. Many public agencies have not met the demands for ade-
quate waste treatment or the control of water pollution because of
inadequate financial resources and other responsibilities. Increasing
population accompanied by accelerating urbanization, growing demands
for water of high quality, rising costs of construction and technological
changes mean that unless the state acts now the needs may soar beyond
the means available for public finance. Meeting these needs is a proper
purpose of the federal, state and local governments. Local agencies, by
reason of their closeness to the problem, should continue to have primary
responsibility for construction, operation and maintenance of the facil-
ities necessary to cleanse our waters. Since water pollution knows no
political boundaries and since the cost of eliminating the existing back-
log of needed facilities and of providing additional facilities for future
needs will be beyond the ability of local agencies to pay. the state, to
meet its responsibility to protect and promote the health, safety and
welfare of the inhabitants of the state, should assist in the financing.
The federal government is contributing to the cost of control of water
pollution, and just provision should be made to cooperate with the
United States of America. It is the intent of this chapter to provide
necessary funds to insure the full participation by the state under the
provisions of Section 8 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act
(33 U.S.C. 466 et seq.) and acts amendatory thereof or supplementary
thereto.
13972. The State General Obligation Bond Law is adopted for the
purpose of the issuance, sale, and repayment of, and otherwise pro-
viding with respect to, the bonds authorized to be issued by this chapter,
and the provisions of that law are included in this chapter as though
set out in full in this chapter except that notwithstanding anything in
the State General Obligation Bond Law, the bonds authorized hereunder
L-78
shall bear such rates of interest, or maximum rates, as may from time
to time be fixed by the State Treasurer, with the approval of the com-
mittee, and the maximum maturity of the bonds shall not exceed 90
years from the date of the bonds, or from the date of each respective
series. The maturity of each respective series shall be calculated from
the date of such series.
13973. As used in this chapter, and for the purposes of this chapter
as used in the State General Obligation Bond Law, the following words
shall have the following meanings:
(a) "Committee" means the Clean Water Finance Committee, cre-
ated by Section 13974.
(b) "Board" means the State Water Resources Control Board.
(c) "Fund" means the State Clean Water Fund.
(d) "Municipality" shall have the same meaning as in the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.) and acts amend-
atory thereof or supplementary thereto and shall also include the state
or any agency or department thereof.
(e) "Treatment works" shall have the same meaning as in the
Federal Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.) and acts
amendatory thereof or supplementary thereto.
(f) "Construction" shall have the same meaning as in the Federal
Water Pollution Control Act (33 U.S.C. 1151 et seq.) and acts amenda-
tory thereof or supplementary thereto.
(g) "Eligible project" means a project for the construction of treat-
ment work* which is all of the following:
(1) Eligible for federal assistance, whether or not federal funds are
then available therefor;
(2) Necessary to prevent water pollution;
(3) Certified by the board as entitled to priority over other treat-
ment works, itnd which complies with applicable water quality stand-
ards, policies and plans.
(h) "Federal assistance'' means funds available to a municipality
either directly or through allocation by the state, from the federal
government as grant* for construction of treatment works, pursuant
to Section 8 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, and acta
amendatory thereof.
13974. The Clean Water Finance Committee is hereby created. The
committee shall consist of the Governor or his designated representa-
tive, the State Controller, the State Treasurer, the Director of Finance,
and the chairman of the board. The executive officer of the board shall
serve as a member of the committee in the absence of the chairman.

existing agreements entered into pursuant to this subdivision, the board
shall pay to the municipality under any contract entered into pursuant
to this subdivision for a project for which the federal grant offer was
made on or after October 18,1972, an amount which equals 12$ percent
of the eligible project cost determined pursuant to federal and state
law and regulations;
(3) An agreement by the municipality, (i) to proceed expeditiously
with, and complete, the eligible project, (il) to commence operation of

no political boundaries and since the cost of eliminating the existing
backlog of needed facilities and of providing additional facilities for
future needs will be beyond the ability of local agencies to pay, the state,
to meet its responsibility to protect and promote the health, safety and
welfare of the inhabitants of the state, should assist in the financing.

pollution, and just provision should be made to cooperate with the
United States of America. It is the intent of this chapter to provide
necessary funds to insure the full participation by the state under the
provisions of Title 11 of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (38
U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) and acta amendatory thereof or supplementary

WATER QUALITY CONTROL PLAN

STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD
REGIONAL WATER QUALITY CONTROL BOARD
SAN FRANCISCO BAY REGION (2)
RECOMMENDED WATER QUALITY OBJECTIVES
To provide • rational basis for water quality
planning, it it neetssery for qtmllty to be
described m quantitative terms which, in turn,
may be used in the evaluation of alternate
planning approaches for • meeting established
goals. Such quantitative values are normally
referred to as "criteria" for judging a water's
suitability for specific beneficial uses. Acceptable
water quality characteristics have been defined
for most beneficial uses. Criteria which are
required for the protection of beneficial uses and
are aehieveble by practical means usually are
adopted es formal water quality objectives.
Water quality objectives set forth in the plan are
those necessary to protect present end probably
future beneficial uses within the basin. These water
quality objectives ere implemented through the
establishment of of waste discharge requirements
by the Regional Board and other implementation
provisions in the plan.
The beneficial uses and water quality objectives
set forth in this plan apply to general areas. The
Regional Board, in setting waste discharge
requirements, will consider the particular impact
on beneficial uses within the immediate area of
influence of the discharge, the existing quality of
receiving weters, end water quelity objectives.
This consideration includes: (1) enumeration of
the beneficial uses potentially effected by the
waste discharge, (2) impact of the discharge on
existing beneficial uses, (3) receiving water
quelity, end (4) the water quelity objectives. The
Regionel Board will make a finding as to the
beneficial uses within the aree of influence of the
discharge and set watte discharge requirements to
protect these uses while not allowing the dis-
charge to violate receiving weter quality objec-
tives.
Recommended weter quelity objectives presented
in this chapter apply to waters within tto Region
2 boundary while those objectives which pertein
specifically to the portion of Basin 2 under the
jurisdiction of Region S ere specified in Appendix
E of this report.
In succeeding sections of this chapter planning
approaches employed in the development of a
water quality control plan for San Francisco Bay
Basin are presented followed by a discussion of
recommended water quality objectives. Weter
quelity parameters which are useful in plan
evaluation but are not recommended es weter
quality objectives with legal stature ere retained
es weter quality planning criteria.
Effluent limitation and discharge prohibitions
erising out of epplication of these receiving water
quelity criteria and objectives ere presented In
Chapter S.
BASIS FOR SELECTION OF WATER QUALITY
OBJECTIVES
The establishment of water quality objectives, as
with other aspects of weter quelity control
planning, has become more complex in recent
yeers because of increesing levels of protection
demanded, lergely es e result of increesed public
awareness of the benefits associated with a clean
end healthy environment. Few uses can be made
of neturel weters without some impeirment in
quality and, as a consequence, impairment of its
value for subsequent use. From this stendpoint,
criteria and objectives should be more then e list
of velues representing maximum limits for various
impurities. More importantly, they should include
statements describing appropriate water quality
for each use, permitting goals (objectives) to be
established for Indlviduel water use.
For each weter use e set of water quality criteria
Is set forth; from these, recommended weter
quelity objectives heve been determined. Such
objectives describe the level of weter quality which
should exist at all times. In establishing relevant
objectives, consideration must be given to the
expected weter uses, eny adverse effects of not
attaining the esteblished objectives, the cepebility
of controlling water quelity to permit ell
expected uses, end the administrative end institu-
tional aspects of water quelity control. Weter
-------
quality resulting from attainment of the estab-
lished objectives should be sufficiently high to
insura protection for *11 designated currant and
future beneficial uses.
Beneficial Uses
As the initial (tap in development of water
quality objectives for San Francisco Bay Basin
beneficial um wara defined for varioui recthring
weter segments | Chap tar 2). A briaf daicription of
the most important quality requirements for
banaficial watar uia< ii presented below.
Watar Supply
The various banaficial uses involving watar supply
include municipal and domestic supply, agri-
cultural supply. Industrial procass supply, indus-
trial service supply, groundwater recharge, naviga-
tion and hydroelectric power generation. Tha first
four usas involve withdrawal of watar for usa.
Groundwatar rachargt operations art often under-
takan with a view to future withdrawal of
incraasad quantities and for protection of water
quality. Navigation and hydroalactric power
generation are special uses that use watar in a
commercial sense without actual consumption.
While these uses can affect the quality of water*
they utilize, thay have few slgnificent quality
raquiremanti of their own.
Domestic and Municipal Water Supply (MlIN)
The principal issues Involving municipal water
supply quality are (1) protection of the public
health, (2) aesthetic aeceptebllfty of the product^
and (31 the economic impacts associated with
treatment or quality-releted damages. The haelth
aspects broadly relate to direct disease trans-
minion, toxic effects end increased susceptibility
to disease. Common examples include the
possibility of developing typhoid fever and
cholera from ingestion of contaminated water,
links betwaen nitrete and methemoglobinemia,
and undefined but alleged relationships between
sodium end heart disaesa or exotic organic ram-
pounds end cancer. Acceptance varies widely
depending on the nature of the supply source
with which people hava become accustomed;
however, parameters of general concam are exces-
sive hardness, unpleasant odor or taste, turbidity
or color. In each case It Is possible to improve
acceptability by treatment. The cost of doing ao
may not be economlcelly justified when elter-
native water supply sources of suitable quality are
available.
There are publhhad water quality objectives that
glA limits for known health-related constituents
end most properties affecting public acceptance.
These objectives (or drinking water include the
1962 U.S. Public Health prinking Watar Stan-
dards. the California State Health Department
criteria. Another set, prepared by the National
Technical Advisory Committee (NTAC)' in 1S73
lists surfece water criteria for public water supply
prior to treatment.
Agricultural Supply IAGR)
Agricultural water supplies are used for farmstead
usee, livestock watering and Irrigation. Farmstead
usee art beat protected by adherence to criteria
previously diecuised und^r municipal end domes-
tic water supply. The quality of livestock weter
supply requires consideration of relattoruhips of
watar to the total diet including water freely
drunk epd moisture content of feed, and inter-
action* between Irrigation weter quality end the
quelity of teed. The Batln Contractor's Advisory
Subcommittee on Water Quality Objectives
developed threshold end limiting concentrations
for livestock water: these are based on the NTAC
criteria end technkel literature reviews conteined
in the Second Edition of Wafer dutllty Criteria
by McKee end Wolf.'
Continued irrigation often leads to one or more
of four types of hazards related to water quality
and the nature of soils end crops. These hezerds
ere soluble aelt accumulations, chemical changes
in tha aoil, toxicity to crops, and potential dlseese
transmission to man. Irrigation water classifi-
cation systems, eraWe soil deseification systems,
end public health criteria related to reuse of
wastewater havt been developed with considera-
tion given to theee hezerds.
Industrial Procass Supply (PROC)
Water quelity requirements differ widely for the
many Industrial processes In use today. There are
so many specific industrial processes with so
meny different water quelity requirements for
actual use that no meaningful criteria can be
esteblished generally for quality of raw water
supplies. Fortunately, this Is not e perplexing
shortcoming, since current weter treatment tech-
nology can create desired product waters tailored
for specific uses. The NTAC report hat sum-
marized raw water quelity characteristics used for
verious Industrial cetegorles end suggested criteria
at the point of ust for certein industrial uses.
Industrial Service Supply (IND)
Most Industrie! service supplies, such es weter
used in mining, gravel washing, fire protection or
hydraulic conveyance have essentietly no weter
quality limitations except gross constraints such
es freedom from unusuel debris. Cooling weter
requirements heve been developed by the NTAC.
Groundweter Recharge (GWR)
The requirements for groundweter recharge
operations generally reflect the future use to be
made of the weter stored undeigorund. In some
casts recharge operations may be conducted to
prevent seewater intrusion; in theee cases the
quality of recharged waters may not directly
effect quelity at the well-field being protected.
Recharge operations are often limited by exces-
sive suspended sediment or turbidity that cen clog
the surfece or recherge pits, besins or wells.
Under the State policy for nondegradation of
water resources the quelity of some of the waters
of the stete are higher than tttsbllshtd by
adopted policies, and it Is the intent of this policy
that existing higher quelity be maintained to tha
maximum extent possible. Requirements for
groundweter recharges, therefore, shell impose
the best practicable treatment technology or
control of the discharge es necessary to assure the
highest queltty consistent with meximum benefit
to the people of the stete.
Nevlgetion (NAVI
Commercial end military shipping Influence weter
quelity but do not demand high quality water for
their normal operations. Physical hazards to
navigation. Including debris or tubmtrgtd objects,
ere of concern. Interestingly, some port struc-
tures, including wood piling, hne suffered struc-
tural demege from borers following improvements
to weter quelity. Bernecles and other hull-fouling
organisms that may proliferate in marine areas
can be killed when ships are docked in freshweter
ports. (In the days of wooden selling ships, sea
captains took adventege of this cleening effect of
freshweter).
Recreational Uses
There ere three categories of water-related recrea-
tional usa, including water contact recreation,
noncontact water recreetion, and sport end com-
merciel ocean fishing. These uses rely on safe.
aesthettcelly platting watar and on protection of
fresh and salt weter aquatic life habitats that
support fish production. Some specific weter
quality factors can be identified for tech of thete
recreetionel uses of weter.
Weter Contect Recreetion (REC-1)
Weter contect Implies e risk of water-borne
disease transmission end involves human safety;
accordingly, criteria required to protect this use
are mora stringent then those for mora casual
water-oriented recreetion. Criteria for recreation
areas heve been described in the NTAC report. A
speclel subcommittee for the State Board's Office
of Technical Coordination developed tentative
guidelines for evaluating the quality of water for
weter contect sports in both fresh end salt waters;
and whartes they are generally consistent with
the NTAC recommendetions, they also include
additional factors reined to wspendtd solids,
surfactants, oil, color and odor. One major
difference is the absence in the State's report of a
meximum value for fecel col iform bacteria.
Many studies heve been made of water quality in
recreation areas; however, very few have demon-
strated e direct correletion between recreetionel
weter use and diseese transmission. The NTAC
report cites three U.S. Public Health Service
epidemiological studies that were used es the basis
for setting the committee's criteria. Through they
were not definitive studies, the committee felt
that detectable health affects may occur at a fecal
coliform level of about 400 per 100 ml. A pH
criterion that was included wit Intended to
prevent or minimize eye irritation.
Some of the problems accompanying excessive
algal growth hive reduced the value of rfiorelint
recreetion area, particularly for awlmming. Where
algae growths exitt in nuisance proportions, par-
ticularly blue-green algae, ell recreational water
uses including those related to fish protection
tend to suffer.
Nuisence from algal growths has been related to
social acceptebility through public opinion sur-
veys. Although criteria have been proposed to
limit nutrient edditions, conditions in the San
Francisco Bay system indicate that nutrients are
not the growth limit factor. Presently, It is
believed that light penetration which is related to
turbidity is controlling. A more eppropriete
criteria to protect the aesthetic quality of waters
used for recreation is based on chlorophyll a;
-------
concentrations of chlorophyll a not to exceed SO
micrograms per liter have been proposed tor dear
waters.
Non-contact Water Recreation (REC-2)
Water quality considerations relevant to noncon-
tact water such as hiking, camping or boating and
those related to tide pool or other nature studies
require protection of habitats and aesthetic
features. In some cases preservation of a natural
wilderness condition is justified particularly
where nature study is a major dedicated use.
Oceen Commercial end Sport Fishing (COMM)
The meintenence of oceen fishing relies mostly on
the protection of aquatic life hebitats where fish
reproduce end seek their food. Protection of
habitats is discussed in the succeeding sections.
Aquatic Life Habitats
The support of aquatic life systems and the uses
that depend on the presence of acceptable habi-
tats is a major challenge; the recent amendments
to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (PL
92-500) direct eerly attention to aquatic life
protection. Criteria for protection of aquatic life
are numerous end defy simple tabulations since
interrelationships are complex end vary with the
sensitivity of life forms found in different eco-
systems. However, some of the broader divisions
of hebitet end oertain special protection needs
have been Identified in the following eight bene-
ficial use categories.
Warm Freshwater Hebitet (WARM)
The warm freshwater habitats supporting bass,
bluegili, perch and other panfish are generally
lakes and reservoirs, although some minor itraams
will serve this purpose where streamflow is
sufficient to sustain the fishery. This habitat is
less sensitive to environmental changes than the
cold freshweter habitat and natural fluctuations
in temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and tur-
bidity are usually greater. Criteria considered
relevant to warm water biota and their habitat
have been described by NTAC.
Cold Freshwater Hebitet (COLD)
Cold freshweter weter habitats generally support
trout, and may support the enedromout ealmoa
and steelheed fisheries es well. Cold water habi-
tat! are commonly well oxygenated. Life within
these waters is relatively intolerant to environ*
mental stresses. Often the cold water habitas are
fed by soft waters; the lack of buffering capacity
of these waters renders fish more susceptible to
toxic metals such as copper. Criteria have been
recommended by NTAC for cold weter habitats.
Wildlife Habitats (WILD)
The water quelity requirements of wildlife pertain
to the watar directly used for ingestion, or the
aquatic habitat itself, end the effect of water
quelity on the production of food materials.
Waterfowl habitat is particularly sensitive to
pollutionai changes; but habitats acceptable to
waterfowl are likely to be acceptable for other
wildlifa.' Some of the quality characteristics of
particular importance in weterfowl habitat are
dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, salinity, tur-
bidity , settleable matter, oil, toxicants and
specific disease orgenisms.
Dissolved oxygen is needed in waterfowl habitets
to suppress development of botulinus organisms;
botulism has killed millions of waterfowl. Mainte-
nance of adequate circulation and aerobic con-
ditions are perticulerly important In shallow
fringe erees of ponds or reservoirs where botulism
has caused problems. Recommendetions have
been mede by NTAC for the weter quality of
wildlife hebitats.
Preservetion of Rere end Endangered Species
(RARE)
Water quality criteria to be achieved to encourage
development and protection of rare or end en-
gered species rfiould be the seme as those for
protection of fish and wildlife habitets generally.
However, where rere or endangered species exist,
special control requirements may be necessary to
assure attainment and melntenance of particular
quality criteria, which mey vary slighly with the
environmental needs of each particular species.
Criteria for species using areas of special bio-
logical significance, ASBS, should likewise be
derived from the generei criterie for habitat types
involved, with fecial management diligence given
where required.
Merine Habitat (MAR)
The protection of marine habitat in many cases
will be accompltaed by meesures to protect
wildlife habitat generelly, but criterie may be
necessary for waterfowl marshes and other habi-
tats such at thote for shellfish and marina fishes.
Some marine habitats, such as important inter-
tidal tones and kelp beds, and mey require special
protection. Weter quelity requirements for some
Individual marine species ere edmittedly not well
known.
Fish Migretion (MIGR)
Anadromous fish protection is generelly essured
by provisions of water quality acceptable to cold
water fishes; however, perticuler ettention must
be given to meintenence of zones of pessege. Any
berrier to migretion or free movement of migre-
tory fish is hermful. Natural tidal movement in
estuaries end unimpeded river flows ere necessery
for sustenance of migratory fishes and their
offspring. A weter quelity berrier, whether ther-
mal or chemical, can destroy the integrity of the
migration route end lead to rapid decline of
dependent fisheries.
Weter quelity mey vary through a zone of passage
es a result of netural or men-induced activities.
Fresh water entering estueries may float on the
surfece of the denser salt weter or hug one shore
as a result of density differences related to water
temperature, selinity or suspended matter. The
NTAC report has suggested thet ecceptefaie weter
quality migretion zones should include et least 76
percent of the cross-sectional eree of the water-
way.
Fish Spawning (SPWN)
Dissolved oxygen levels in spewning ereas should
ideelly approach seturetion levels. Free movement
of weter is essential to maintain well oxygenated
conditions around eggs deposited In sediments.
Weter temperature, size distribution and organic
content of sediments, weter depth, end current
velocity ere elso important determinants of ede-
quecy of spewning ereas.
Shellfish Hervesting (SHELL)
Shellfish erees require protection for continuation
of the resource end protection of public health.
Usually the public heelth aspect it emphasized In
water quelity criterie statements; however, there
ere ceses of sheilfisheries being essentially elimi-
neted by chenges in weter quality. Oysters
diminished in Sen Francisco Bay after large
volumes of suspended sediments were added to
the 8ey by the onset of hydreuljc mining in the
Mother Lode country. Creb declines have been
related by some biologists with induetriel waste
disposel end to pesticides such es DDT.
Trensmission of diseeee end direct poisoning of
hum ens ere of considerable concern in shellfish
reguletion. Becteriologicel criterie for the open
oceen, beys, end estuerine weters utilized for
shellfish cultivation and harvesting should con-
form with the atenderds described in the National
Shellfish Sanitation Program, Manual of Opera-
tion.
Buildup of toxic metals occurs in shellfish.
Poisoning of shellfish consumers is a major
concern in weter pollution control. Mercury and
cadmium are two metals known to have caused
extremely dlsebling effects in humans consuming
shellfish which concentreted these elements from
industrial waste discharges. Other elements, radio-
ectfve Isotopes end certain toxins produced by
perticuler plankton species elso concentrate in
shellfish tissue. Although these ere metiers of
concern, documented cases of human poisoning by
shellfish contaminated with metals or other
toxins ere very rere in California.
In the preceding narrative reference was made to
the Netionel Technical Advisory Committee on
Water Quelity Criteria throughout the text end to
the committee esteblished by the State Board to
develop water quelity guidelines and criterie. The
Stete Board has drawn on these end other
references in developing e set of guidelines pre-
pared by the Office of Technical Coordination for
Basin Contractors to evaluate the quality of water
required for verious beneficial uses.
Table 4-1 presents the quelity criterie of some of
the beneficial uses beeed on State Board Manage-
ment Memo 20. Numerical water quality require-
ments are not given for QWR, NAV, or REC-2
since quality requirements for other uses given fn
TAble 4-1 ere more restrictive end thus are
setisfectory for these uses. Criterie are not tabu-
lated for beneficial uses related to aquatic life
habitat because criterion values given in the
menagement memo were taken from a variety of
sources, some of which ere inadequately sup-
ported or conflict with more recent judgements
of epproprieta limiting values. Proposed criteria
for aquatic life habitat protection are discussed in
the following section.

Alternative Levels of Mainttnance
For planning purposes, the concept of levels of
protection tar aquatic habitat* at othar than
optimum conditions was found particulady appli-
cable In establishing objectives for dissolved
oxygen and criteria for toxicity from both a
biological and co*t-effectivaness standpoint This
approach, alternative levels of maintenance, is not
unique to this study; It hes bean applied by
Warren4 end by Ooudoroff end Shumwsy in
recommending dissolved oxygen requirements for
freshwater fish to the Food end Agricultural
Organisation of the United Nations.1 Levels of
maintenance may vary from pristine conditions to
lower levels of protection, the intent being that
tower levels of protection do not represent a
license to pollute.
Maintenence levels were considered for designe-
tlon not on tha basis of inherent biological
sensitivity but rather as influenced by socio-
economic considerations such as the cost and
time required to upgrade water quality from
existing levels, - incompatibilities of established
and desireble lend uses with higher quelity levels,
or the presence of velued neturel characteristics
whose well-being is dependent on certain water
quality levels.
In this study maintenance level A is e condition
where the Iteelth end productivity of equatic life
are maintained free from any identifiable risk of
impairment by elimination of all waste discharges.
This maximum level of protection is considered
apprapriete for such are** as prima spawning and
nursery grounds on whWh major fisheries ara
dependent Maintenance level 8 is a condition
where the productivity of aquatic life is main-
tained free from significant Impairment through
water quality management practices. Level B
protection is spproprlate for aquatic hebltets that
support important fishery resource* such es those
oocurrlng in San Francisoo Bay. Maintenence level
C it • temporary condition where tte pro-
ductivity of equatic life is somewhat limited due
to the effects of wast* w*t*r discharges asaociatad
with major Industries or e dense human popula-
tion, or both, which are not completely con-
trolleble. This situation, which presently exists in
certain retches of the Bay system such es the
South Bey or effects certain resources such as
bivslve diellflth, can only be tolerated on an
interim beds.
Use of the sltemative levels of maintenance con-
cept in the establishment of water quality objec-
tives allows not only the optimum use of
resources committed to water quality control
operation but also may be justified on the basis of
total resources management Selected main-
tenance levels for Individual receiving water seg-
ments cen be revised to reflect changes in social
values or changes in the availability of resources
required to maintain desired beneficial uses.
Moreover, implementation of alternate levels of
maintenance allows a rational distribution of
limited funds to maximize the improvement in
protection of beneficial uses gained through
successive stage of implementation of any recom-
mended plen. For example, a higher level of weter
quality control it recommended to protect e
major enadromoue fish migration route, the
Carquinez Strait-Western Delta region.
Water Quality Plennlng Criteria
Certain water quality parameters are useful in
plan evaluation but are not considered appropriate
for recommendation as water quelity objectives
having legal steture and narrow numerical defini-
tion. Parameter* in this category are toxicity and
algal growth.
Toxicity related to wastewater disposal presents
some special problems in view of expressed
national goals end the state of technology of
toxicity removal, control measurement, and
criteria expression. The 1S72 amendments to the
L-91
-------
Federal Water Pollution Control Act sum, that,
"it it th« ration*! policy that the discharge of
toxic pollutants in toxic amount! be prohibited."
Th# new law requires affluant standards for
pacific toxicants. In December 1973 EPA pub-
lished proposad limiting concentrations for nine
toxic pollutants. Tha agancy is still revimlng this
mattar; final adoption of toxic pollutant affluant
standards is axpactad lata in 1974. Thasa stan-
dards will praacriba both concentration and mass
amission limits and will vary thaaa limits with
type and size of water body.
Toxicity measurements are generally expressed in
terms of median tolerance limits (TLgg) deter-
mined by biossey. The TL«n is tha concentration
at which a substance kills helf of the tttt
organisms subjected to the substence for a period
of specified duration. Additive effects of toxi-
cants are believed to occur where concentrations
are netr lethal values; however, in trace amounts
the seme materials era often nutritional.
Evaluations of the effect of additions of various
potential or known toxicants to natural waters
have been ettempted through study of the health
of indigenous biota. Investigators in the United
Statee and England have determined the .presence
or absence and characteristics of resident fish in
natural bodies of water subjected to discharge of
waste effluents. The acuta toxicity of these
effluents wes determined by short-term bioesseys
and information on toxicants present In these
. wastes; receiving water dilution was established
and compared with field evaluations of resident
fish populations. Apparent sefe dilution levels

The pfenning approach utilized tha concept of
toxicity emission retee es defined by the product
of effluent flew (mgd) and tha affluant toxicity

3. Additional limitations shall bs imposed
when necessary to muii pro taction of
beneficial use*.
Sulfide
All weters shall ba fraa from dissolved sulfide
concentrations above natural background levels.
Sulfide occurs in Bay mud* at a result of bactarlal
Mtion on organic mattar under an eneeroblc
anvlronmant. Concantratloni of only a few hun-
dredth* of a milligram par liter can ceuae a
noticeable odor. Other than its consistency with
the State's policy of nondagradatlon, the Impor-
tance of this objective as stated is that devietiom
from natural background conditions will be mini-
mized along with the prevalent odor asfociatad
with rotten eggs once cherecteristic in arees
contiguous with San Francisco Bay.
CoUform Bacteria
Water quality objectives for bacterial indicators
are listed below:
1. Waste discharges shall not oause tidal waters
to exceed a most probable number (MPN) of
coliform organism! of 1,000 par 100 ml;
provided that not more than 20 peroent of
the samples at any sampling station in any
30-day period may exceed 1,000 par 100 ml,
end provided further that no single sample
dull exceed 10,000 per 100 ml; nor shell the
discharge cause the receiving water to exoeed
a faoei oollform median value of SO MPN per
100 ml.
2. Weste dischargee into waters capable of
supporting unrestricted shellfish harvesting
shall not cause those waters to exceed a
medlen conform concentration of 70 MPN
par TOO ml, nor chill mort thin 20 parcant of
the sample exceed 230 MPN per 100 ml.
Unrestricted shellfish harvesting ereas ihell, in
every other respect, comply with the require-
ments of the "National Shellfish Sanitation
Program."
3. Waste disdierges into nontidel waters shall
not causa the level of coliform organisms to
exoeed the limits esteblithed below:
e. For nontidel reoeivlng waters used for
drinking weter supply, the arithmetic
average of at least five IS) samples col-
lected over a thirty (30) day intervel shell
not exceed e totel coliform MPN o< 100
per 100 ml or a feeel coliform MPN of 20
per 100 ml.
b. For nontidel receiving waters used for
water eontect recreation (REC-t), die log
meon of fecel coliform MPN values shell
not exoeed 200 MPN par 100 ml; nor shall
mora than lOperoent of the samples taken
exoeed a fecal oollform MPN of 400 par
100 ml.
The ebove object Ives for water contact mention
waters represent a tightening of oolrform bacteria
standards through application of strict focal con-
form limits In tidal waters as a supplement to
previous total coliform limits.
Detrimental Deposits
All wetors shell ba free of substances attributable
to oontrolleble weter quality factors diet will
form detrimental deposits and free from presence
of material that can cause or Induce formation of
combination or emounts of deposited materials
that can be deleterious to beneficial uses of
waters and underlying surfaces, with or without
resusponsion of eny deposits.
The wording of this objective differs from that
contained in the Interim Plen and the Ocean Plan
but It considered to encompass the seme level of
control and extends beyond the previous state-
ments to cover problems associated with dredging
or other activities feeding to reauspension of
meteriels which may produce adverse affects.
Floatable*
Surface waters shell be free of visible oil, soum,
floating debris or other floeting substances attrib-
utable to controllable weter quality factors that
produoa adverse affects on beneficial uses.
The objective statement for floatable meteriels is
consistent with those in the Oceen Plen end the
Interim Plan; It does not attempt to provide
numericel limits for floeting perticuletes and
hexene extraetables.
Color, Odor and Testa
All waters shell be free of substencos attributable
to water quality factors diet produce detrimental,
eathetkelly undesirable color, odor or taste.
This objective is essentielly the same es that
contained in the statewide policy for the control
of weter quelity, sometimes termed the "Five
Freedoms" policy which Is contained In Resolu-
tion 67-30 of the Stete Weter Quelity Control
Boerd. The Interim Basin Plan carries slmiler
wording for odor but la more specific es regents
color; the less specific objective it described as
this it consistent with the Ocean Plan. Where odor
is concerned the objective shell elso apply to
geseous emissions from wastewater or wastewater
treetment processes where nuisance conditions
ere produced end exist outside the boundery of
the treatment fecility.
Fish Flesh Tainting
Ail weters shall be free of substances attributable
to oontroMsMe water quelity factors in concen-
trations sufficient to import unnetural odor or
taste to fish flesh or other edible products of
aquatic origin.
This objective is consistent with the Ocean Plan
and with the "Five Freedoms" policy.
Redioactivity
Radionuclides attributable to controllable svetar
quality factors shall not be present in the waters
in concentrations in excess of those given in
California Administrative Code, Title 17, or in
concentrations which will result in eecumulations
of radionuclides in aquatic life to an extent which
presents a beaard either to aquatic life or their
consumer*.
This objective is consistent with the Oceen Plan
end with the "Fiva Freedoms" policy.
Toxicity
No substances attributable to controllable weter
quality factors shall be present in waters in
concentrations or combinations which an toxic
to. or which produce detrimental physiological
responses in human, plents, animal, or Indigenous
aquatic life, or which create undesirable tastes or
odors in orgenisms utilized for human consump-
tion.
Compliance with this objective will be determined
by use of indicator organisms, anelyses of species
diversity, population density, growth anomalies,
bioassays of appropriate duration but no less than
96 hours, or other appropriate methods es speci-
fied by the Regional Board. The eurvival of
aquatic Ilia in surface waters subjected to a waste
discharge or other controlleble water quality
factors, shall not ba less than that for the tame
water body in arees unaffected by the weste
discharge, or other control water which is con-
sistent with the requirements for "experimental
weter" as described in "Standard Methods for the
Examination of Water end Wastewater," latest
edition. In addition, effluent limits "based upon
ecute bioassays of effluents will be prescribed
where appropriate, additional numericel receiving
water objectives for specific toxicants will be
established es sufficient data become available,
end source control of toxic substances will be
encouraged.
Pesticides
Surface waters shell not contain concentrations of
total identifiable chlorinated hydrocarbon pesti-
cides et detectable levels as determined by use of
analytical methods prescribed in "Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and
Wastewater," latest edition.
Ammonia
The discharge of wastes shell not ceuee con
oentrations of un ionized ammonium hydroxide
(NH4OHI to exoeed 0.02S mg/l meetured as
nitrogen in receiving waters.
For the first time, a water quality objective
regerding ammonia is recommended for edoption
In the water quelity control plen. This objective
reflects the national policy as expressed in the
1972 amendments to the federal water pollution
control act in that the discharge of waste con-
stituents in toxic amounts are prohibited.
Numerical limits for additional toxicants will be
considered as sufficient information becomes
available to justify their establishment es weter
quelity objectives.
Chemical Quality
No aubstanoea attributable to controllable water
quality factors shall impair .the treatability
(require treatment beyond presently accepted
practices) of receiving waters used for municipal
and domestic supply or weters which ere ueed for
irrigation end livestock watering. In waters used
for municipal or domestic supply concentrations
of chemicel constituents shall not exceed menda-
tory limits as established by the California State
Department of Health.
