Groundwater Quality Sustainable Management Criteria Survey for Sierra Valley TAC
Please fill out the following survey to provide us additional information on what was presented at the December TAC meeting.
1.
Please provide your name
Please note that Questions 2, 3, and 4 are related. They will cover the different ways in which Constituents of Concern (COCs) will be included in the GSP.
2.
Below is a list of the Constituents Of Concern (COCs) identified in Sierra Valley. Please select which you think is important to develop Sustainable Management Criteria (SMCs) for.
Arsenic (Naturally-occurring, wood preservatives, pesticides)
Boron (Naturally-occurring, industrial wastes, sewage, fertilizers)
Chloride (Naturally occurring, brine concentrate, irrigation, industrial effluent)
Iron (Naturally-occurring, industrial effluent, mine waste)
Manganese (Naturally-occurring, industrial effluent, mine waste)
MTBE (Industrial effluent, fuel additive)
Nitrate (Fertilizers, animal waste, septic tanks)
Total Dissolved Solids - Salts (naturally occurring, brine concentrate, irrigation, industrial effluent)
Fluoride (naturally occurring, industrial waste)
Other
If 'Other', can you provide a list additional COC(s)?
3.
Below is a list of the Constituents Of Concern (COCs) identified in Sierra Valley. Please select which you think is important to be included in the GSP but not have SMCs developed.
Arsenic (Naturally-occurring, wood preservatives, pesticides)
Boron (Naturally-occurring, industrial wastes, sewage, fertilizers)
Chloride (Naturally occurring, brine concentrate, irrigation, industrial effluent)
Iron (Naturally-occurring, industrial effluent, mine waste)
Manganese (Naturally-occurring, industrial effluent, mine waste)
MTBE (Industrial effluent, fuel additive)
Nitrate (Fertilizers, animal waste, septic tanks)
Total Dissolved Solids - Salts (naturally occurring, brine concentrate, irrigation, industrial effluent)
Fluoride (naturally occurring, industrial waste)
Other
If 'Other', can you provide a list of additional COC(s)?
4.
Below is a list of the Constituents Of Concern (COCs) identified in Sierra Valley. Please select which you think should not be included in the GSP.
Arsenic (Naturally-occurring, wood preservatives, pesticides)
Boron (Naturally-occurring, industrial wastes, sewage, fertilizers)
Chloride (Naturally occurring, brine concentrate, irrigation, industrial effluent)
Iron (Naturally-occurring, industrial effluent, mine waste)
Manganese (Naturally-occurring, industrial effluent, mine waste)
MTBE (Industrial effluent, fuel additive)
Nitrate (Fertilizers, animal waste, septic tanks)
Total Dissolved Solids - Salts (naturally occurring, brine concentrate, irrigation, industrial effluent)
Fluoride (naturally occurring, industrial waste)
5.
Do you agree with setting SMC thresholds to be equal to applicable MCL values?
Yes
No
If 'No', which COCs should have alternative threshold values?
6.
Should we consider the use of triggers to set warning/action levels?
Yes
No
Additional comments?
7.
Do we have data gaps in the current existing monitoring networks?
Yes
No
If 'Yes', what data gaps currently exist?
8.
Are you aware of data sources that were not included in GAMA and that we did not consider for this preliminary analysis?
Yes
No
If 'Yes', what data sources should we consider?
9.
Data on domestic wells: the GAMA database has highly limited information on domestic wells in Sierra Valley. Do you have thoughts how we can gather data for domestic wells in Sierra Valley?
10.
Are there key areas within the basin where you would suggest new monitoring for any COCs?
11.
If we build the network using wells from existing monitoring network, we will need to identify a subset of wells (representative monitoring points) that will be used for annual reporting to DWR, starting in April 2022. Do you have suggestions on specific wells already monitored that you would like to see included?
12.
Are there actions to address water quality concerns beyond monitoring and reporting that should be included in the implementation plan?
13.
Comments for improving this process?
