1. Drinking Water Quality Program Prepared for the Prop 13 Applicant Workshops January 2002

2. Geographic Scope of Problem/Solution Areas Geographic Scope of Solution Geographic Scope of Problem Identification Sacramento Sacramento River San Joaquin River Stockton Suisun Marsh

3. Program Goal for Water Quality To improve the quality of the waters of the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta Estuary for all beneficial uses, including domestic, industrial, agricultural, recreation, and aquatic habitat.

4. Drinking Water Quality Program Objectives To continuously improve source water quality that allows municipal water suppliers to deliver safe, reliable, and affordable drinking that meets and, where feasible, is better than applicable drinking water standards.

5. DWQP Focus zIntegrate protection of and improvements in Bay-Delta drinking water quality across all federal and State agencies, from source to tap ysource water protection ywater management ytreatment and distribution

6. Pollutants of Concern z Drinking Water Quality y Pathogens y Organic Carbon y Bromide y Salinity/Total Dissolved Solids y Turbidity y Nutrients y Taste and odor

7. CALFED Drinking Water Quality Targets 50 µg/L bromide and 3.0 mg/L total organic carbon at South Delta intakes -or- an “equivalent level of public health protection”

9. Objectives - San Joaquin River, Delta and tributaries zReduce pathogens, organic carbon, salinity, sediment, and nutrient loads through source control, treatment, water management, and appropriate land fallowing and/or land retirement. zReduce pathogen loading from confined animal facility operations

10. Objectives - Entire Bay- Delta Solution Area zReduce TOC through control of algae, aquatic weeds, agricultural runoff, urban runoff, and through watershed improvements. zPromote sediment reduction in agricultural, construction, and urban areas.
