2017 Update to Cyanide Rolling Average

San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) | July 1st, 2018

As part of the site-specific objectives (SSO), NPDES dischargers are required to calculate the 3-event rolling average of dissolved copper and total cyanide concentration

As part of the site-specific objectives (SSO), NPDES dischargers are required to calculate the 3-event rolling average of dissolved copper and total cyanide concentrations in each segment of the Bay, based on RMP data.

This report describes activities associated with the 2018 bivalve retrieval cruise of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP). Measurement of contaminant concentrations in transplanted bivalves accumulated during dry season deployment is designed to provide long-term data on the bioaccumulation of trace elements and trace organic compounds in tissue throughout the Estuary.

2018 Quality Assurance Program Plan for the Regional Monitoring Program (RMP) for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay

The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) was created to provide long-term monitoring information on ecosystem health in the Bay. The impetus for the program development was a resolution by the San Francisco Bay Regional Water Board to require dischargers in the Bay Area regulated under the National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program to participate in regional monitoring. Contribution to the Program constitutes compliance with the requirement to participate. Elimination of certain permit requirements for individual permits offset the requirement for continued participation. The RMP began as a pilot study in 1989 and has been collecting water, sediment, and biological tissue data since 1993. 

2018 Regional Monitoring Plan (RMP) Bird Egg Monitoring Sampling and Analysis Plan

San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) | March 5th, 2018

The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) monitors concentrations of contaminants in bird egg tissue as an indicator of water quality.

The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) monitors concentrations of contaminants in bird egg tissue as an indicator of water quality. In 2018, the RMP will collect bird egg samples from various locations in the Bay as part of routine Status and Trends Monitoring. The target species will be Double-crested Cormorants and Forster’s Terns.

This report describes activities associated with the 2018 bivalve deployment cruise of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP). Measurement of contaminant concentrations in transplanted bivalves accumulated during dry season deployment is designed to provide long-term data on the bioaccumulation of select trace elements and trace organic compounds in tissue throughout the Estuary. 

2018 Regional Monitoring Program (RMP) Sediment Cruise Report

This report outlines details from the annual Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in the San Francisco Estuary (RMP) sediment cruise, conducted August 14 – 21, 2018. The Regional Monitoring Program conducts routine monitoring of water, sediment and biological tissue. The current study design calls for monitoring of water and bivalves every two years and sediment every four years. Bird egg monitoring (cormorant and terns) is conducted triennially, while sport fish are monitored on a five-year rotation.
