6 AQUATIC PESTICIDE MONITORING PROGRAM MONITORING PROGRAM OBJECTIVES: Evaluate water quality impacts associated with application of aquatic pesticides; evaluate effectiveness of Best Management Practices to reduce or eliminate impacts. TASKS: 1. Create Organizational Structure a. Steering Committee, Technical Review Group b. Management and Assessment Questions 2. Prepare Aquatic Pesticide Monitoring Plan a. Literature Review and Synthesis b. Create Monitoring Plan c. Implement Monitoring Plan 3. Project Management a. Quality Assurance, Data Management b. Reporting

7 CALFED MERCURY PROJECT: SPORT FISH OBJECTIVES 1) Human health concerns 2) Long term temporal trends 3) Spatial patterns 4) Factors influencing mercury in sport fish Sampling in 2000 and 2001 Final Report in Preparation

8 WATERSHEDS PROGRAM OBJECTIVE: Research and map the physical chemical, biological form and function in a regional context. Communicate the results to scientists, managers, and the community. Prioritize where to place research effort on a regional basis.

9 NAPA STEWARDSHIP SUPPORT OBJECTIVES: Work with the Napa RCD and Carneros Ck. and Sulphur Ck. stewardships to carry out watershed assessments necessary to develop watershed management plans to enhance creek value SFEI TASKS: 1. Stewardship and technical team meetings to discuss creek values and multidisciplinary assessment progress 2. Instream Geomorphology – Fieldwork, analysis and reporting 3. Historical Ecology a. Landscape flora and fauna b. Instream flora, fauna, and geomorphology 4. Management plan development a. Assist the Napa RCD and creek groups b. Report the project at the CALFED Science Conference

10 STORM DRAIN MAPPING OBJECTIVES: Improve regional knowledge and mapping of natural and modified drainage networks in the Bay Area TASKS: 1. Inventory of GIS coverages 2. Pilot area (Fremont) and development of recommendations a. Mapping b. Data and methodologies 3. NHD (National Hydrography Data Set) a. Collaborate with USGS b. Complete Coyote Creek Catalogue Unit 4. Pilot synthesis of NHD and storm drains maps a. Combine NHD with storm drain maps developed by Oakland Museum and William Lettis & Associates Inc. b. Describe methodology and difficulties

11 WETLANDS MONITORING OBJECTIVES: Coordinate design and implementation of wetlands regional monitoring program, contribute to scientific basis for wetland restoration, and enhance coordination of wetland research.
