Vineyards and Water Quality North Bay Watershed Association Watershed Council Meeting June 22, 2010 Novato, CA Tina Low, P.E. San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board

Tonight’s Presentation Water Quality Issues in the Napa River and Sonoma Creek Watersheds Water Board is Developing a Conditional Waiver Program for Vineyard Facilities Next Steps and What’s Ahead in the Process

Napa River and Sonoma Creek Provide habitat for salmon and steelhead Provide recreation Are impaired by sediment, pathogens, and nutrients Receives Nonpoint Source pollution

The Vineyard and Water Quality Connection A well-designed and managed vineyard is good for rivers, fish, and water quality

Potential Water Quality Impacts from Vineyards Sediment Surface erosion Roads Gullies and landslides Erosive Flows (changes in runoff patterns) Nutrients Pesticides/Herbicides Changes to Stream and Riparian Areas

Potential Impacts

Conditional Vineyard Waiver- Framework Self-directed Vineyard owners/operators complete farm plans Assess their own lands Evaluate potential sources of pollutants Identify needed management practices Develop an implementation plan and schedule Implementation actions completed per schedule proposed by owner/operator

Farm Plans Protect Water Quality Assessment of natural resources, ag lands, and management practices Evaluation of all water pollutants: sediment, erosive flows, nutrients, toxicity, heat (from changes to stream and riparian area) Evaluation of all potential sources of pollutants: roads, surface erosion, gullies, pesticide and fertilizer use, activities in stream area Strategy for implementing MPs to prevent discharge of pollutants

Vineyard Conditional Waiver- Main Elements Waiver Conditions Farm Water Quality Plan Waiver Standards Implementation of Management Practices Compliance and Effectiveness Monitoring and Reporting

Farm Plans Protect Water Quality Process and Next Steps Initial Public Outreach Early 2010 Technical Advisory Committee Early 2010 Stakeholder Advisory Group Summer 2010 Public Draft & CEQA Scoping Late 2010 Public Testimony Hearing Early 2011 Adoption Hearing Summer 2011 Farm Plans Protect Water Quality 2011 and Beyond
