V. Water Quality 5.1 V. WATER QUALITY 5.1. Water Quality Standards Water quality data is only meaningful if one understands water quality standards, how they are developed, and how they are relevant to society. The purpose of this section is to provide an overview of the water quality standards applicable to the Bear Creek watershed. OVERVIEW The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) determines water quality standards by two legislative acts: the Federal Clean Water Act and the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act. States may adopt more stringent standards, but cannot adopt standards that are less stringent than federal standards. The State of California passed the Porter-Cologne Water Quality Control Act, thereby establishing the State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) and nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards (RWQCB) as the principal State agencies responsible for coordinating and controlling water quality in California; the SWRCB has authority over the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards. The California Water Code (Section 13240) requires the nine Regional Water Quality Control Boards to adopt Water Quality Control Plans (Basin Plans). Basin Plans establish the beneficial uses of water, water quality standards, and actions necessary to maintain these standards for each water body to be protected. Water quality standards set in each Basin Plan by the RWQCB are based on the existing and potential beneficial uses. In establishing water quality standards, the RWQCB considers the following factors: • Past, present, and probable future beneficial uses. • Environmental characteristics of the hydrographic unit under consideration, including current water quality. • Water quality conditions reasonably achievable through coordinated control of all factors affecting water quality. The Central Valley RWQCB prepared the Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins (hereafter referred to as the Water Quality Control Plan), which established water quality standards for the Bear Creek watershed. The Water Quality Control Plan consists of the Sacramento and San Joaquin River Basins encompassing 43,090 square miles (RWQCB, 1998). The Sacramento River Basin covers 27,210 square miles and includes all watersheds tributary to the Sacramento River north of the Consumnes River. The San Joaquin River Basin includes all watersheds tributary to the San Joaquin River and the Delta south of the Sacramento River. The Basin covers 15,880 square miles and includes the area drained by the San Joaquin River. BENEFICIAL USES None of the tributaries in the Bear Creek watershed have specific beneficial uses designated in the Basin Plan. However, Bear Creek and Ash Creek are both tributary to the Sacramento River, and therefore, the “tributary rule” applies (e.g., all designated ENPLAN 5-1 beneficial uses of the Sacramento River apply to Bear Creek and Ash Creek). The designated beneficial uses of the Sacramento River (from Shasta Dam to the Colusa Basin Drain) are the following: MUNICIPAL AND DOMESTIC SUPPLY Uses of water for community, military, or individual water supply systems including, but not limited to, drinking water supply. AGRICULTURAL SUPPLY Uses of water for farming, horticulture, or ranching, including, but not limited to, irrigation (including leaching of salts), stock watering, or support of vegetation for range grazing. INDUSTRIAL SERVICE SUPPLY Uses of water for industrial activities that do not depend primarily on water quality including, but not limited to, mining, cooling water supply, hydraulic conveyance, gravel washing, fire protection, or oil well re-pressurization. NAVIGATION Uses of water for shipping, travel, or other transportation by private, military, or commercial vessels. HYDROPOWER GENERATION Uses of water for hydropower generation. WATER CONTACT RECREATION (REC-1) Uses of water for recreational activities involving body contact with water, where ingestion of water is reasonably possible. These uses include, but are not limited to, swimming, wading, water skiing, skin and scuba diving, surfing, white water activities, fishing, or use of natural hot springs. NON-CONTACT WATER RECREATION (REC-2) Uses of water for recreational activities involving proximity to water, but where there is generally no body contact with water, nor any likelihood of ingestion of water. These uses include, but are not limited to, picnicking, sunbathing, hiking, beachcombing, camping, boating, tidepool and marine life study, hunting, sightseeing, or aesthetic enjoyment in conjunction with the above activities. Uses of water that support warm water ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation or enhancement of aquatic habitats, vegetation, fish, or wildlife, including invertebrates. COLD FRESHWATER HABITAT Uses of water that support cold water ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation or enhancement of aquatic habitats, vegetation, fish, or wildlife, including invertebrates. ENPLAN 5-2 WILDLIFE HABITAT Uses of water that support terrestrial or wetland ecosystems including, but not limited to, preservation and enhancement of terre strial habitats or wetlands, vegetation, wildlife (e.g., mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates), or wildlife water and food sources. MIGRATION OF AQUATIC ORGANISMS Uses of water that support habitats necessary for migration or other temporary activities by aquatic organisms, such as anadromous fish. SPAWNING, REPRODUCTION, AND/OR EARLY DEVELOPMENT Uses of water that support high quality aquatic habitats suitable for reproduction and early development of fish. STANDARDS A summary of the standards in the Water Quality Control Plan applicable to the Bear Creek watershed are included in Table 5-1. A complete discussion of each numeric limit can be found at the RWQCB offices or on the Internet at http://www.swrcb.ca.gov/rwqcb5. ENPLAN 5-3 Table 5-1. Bear Creek Watershed Assessment 2005 Summary of Standards in the Water Quality Control Plan that Apply to the Bear Creek Watershed In waters designated for contact recreation, the concentration based on at least 5 samples for any 30-day period, shall not exceed an average of 200/100 ml, nor shall more than 10 percent of the samples taken for any 30-day period exceed 400/100 ml. Bacteria A proposed amendment to the Water Quality Control Plan would mandate that In all waters designated for contact recreation (REC-1), the E. coli concentration, based on a minimum of not less than five samples equally spaced over a 30-day period, shall not exceed a geometric mean of 126/100 ml in any single sample. Biostimulatory Water shall not contain biostimulatory substances which promote aquatic growths in Substances concentrations that cause nuisance or adversely affect beneficial uses.

ENPLAN 5-4 REFERENCE CONDITIONS No information is available for the Bear Creek watershed concerning water quality reference conditions. Prior to European settlement in the area, water quality was assumed to be a function of the natural chemical and geological processes in the watershed. 5.2. Surface Waters WATER QUALITY OBJECTIVES FOR SURFACE WATERS This section summarizes applicable water quality objectives for surface waters in the Bear Creek watershed. BACTERIA A variety of methods are used to assess the presence of harmful pathogens. Fecal coliform counts are widely used to assess a water body for solid waste contamination by humans or animals. Fecal coliforms are bacteria (e.g., E. coli) that live in the digestive tract of animals and are excreted in their feces. Alone, they do not pose a threat to human health. However, they are generally associated with other disease causing microbes, such as those that cause typhoid, dysentery, hepatitis A, and cholera. Therefore, the presence of fecal coliforms in a water body is an important indicator of the presence of other disease causing microbes. Sources of fecal coliform in a water body include leaking septic tanks, runoff from animal feedlots, and human or animal defecation near a water body. The Water Quality Control Plan mandates that in waters designated for contact recreation, the fecal coliform concentration, based on a minimum of five samples over a 30- day period shall not to exceed an average of 200/100 ml, nor shall more than 10 percent of the total number of samples taken during any 30-day period exceed 400/100 ml (RWQCB, 1998).

Nevin A DISSERTATION in Linguistics Presented to the Faculties of the University of Pennsylvania in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 1998 _____________________________ Supervisor of Dissertation _____________________________ Graduate Group Chairperson iii iv To the Pit River people In memory of Yámá·litwí·daá Dísdí sí·sá·dumá má céá suwí tús dit·é·wi, amxágam táxábáà tól·ím dáx cú wíc stíjéuwí?à Qa ßís ßú wóá dis·i ßuwá·géá ß tyánuwí,á toljana winá·ji·wíní. iii iv Abstract Aspects of Pit River Phonology Bruce Nevin Eugene Buckley Until recently, it has seemed that the Pit River language (“Achumawi”) was reasonably well documented by de Angulo & Freeland (1930), Uldall (1933), and Olmsted (1956, 1957, 1959, 1964, 1966). My own fieldwork in 1970-74 disclosed fundamental inadequacies of these publications, as reported in Nevin (1991). We substantiate this finding, investigate its probable bases, and establish why my own data are not subject to the same difficulties. After this cautionary tale about the perils of restating a published grammar, we define a phonemic representation for utterances in the language and introduce Optimality Theory (OT). We then apply OT to a series of problems in the phonological patterning of the language: features of syllable codas, restrictions and alternations involving voiceless release and aspiration, and reduplicative morphology. Appendix A describes the physiology and phonetics of laryngeal phenomena in Pit River, especially epiglottal articulation that has in the past been improperly described as pharyngeal or involving the tongue radix (the feature RTR).

  • Lessons in Bronze
    LESSONS IN BRONZE Why Good History Matters Patricia Lord July 10, 2018 Thank you to the many local historians, activists, and leaders, who freely shared their knowledge, gave support, and made this paper possible. 2 In mid-March 2018, a plaque honoring the heroics of a man during one of the deadliest periods of Shasta County’s history was proposed. The plaque, containing only a few sentences, is one of the best examples of the need for the careful study of history. Titled “Pioneer Courage,” the plaque memorializes “... the rescue and protection from vigilante revenge on this ground of twelve innocent Yana First Nation people following the Allen-Jones pioneer family murders of 1864.” The bronze plaque attributes the salvation of the individuals to a man who owned a farm near the Sacramento River. Even though the text is presented as a straightforward account of an important but less known event from local history, conversations with community members and research reveals much more (Benda, 2018). The plaque has become an important example that can help clarify what ideals we should uphold, who we acknowledge, and what a vibrant community that values its history looks like. Most histories of the Allen-Jones massacres start from the same place, the murder of two women, though the murders are closer to the middle of the story than the start. On September 8, 1864, a woman by the name of Catherine Allen (née Boyes) (Janice, 2007) who lived just east of Millville was attacked and killed reportedly by two Native American men. Her four children were also attacked, though they all recovered.

Krebs, 2001 E301825 H I S T O R I C A L C O N T E X T Ishi (c.1860-1916) was the last living member of the Yahi tribe, the southernmost tribe of the Yana people who inhabited northern California and the Sacramento Valley.The California gold rush and influx of foreign- ers contributed to the quick demise of the Yana tribes through conflict and disease. Apparently the last surviving Yahi, Ishi journeyed into white society, and was brought to the Museum of Anthropology in San Francisco by anthropologist Alfred Lewis Kroeber. He worked as both a janitor and as a “living exhibit,” making arrowheads in front of paying museum visitors and helping researchers record the Yana language.This survivor did not divulge information about his deceased family, however, and he did not even reveal his own name. “Ishi” means “man” in Yana. The mysterious person known as Ishi did in 1916, a victim of tuberculosis, which was foreign to the Yahi. Rumors spread that Ishi’s brain had been preserved after his death, but it wasn’t until 1999 that his pickled brain was found in a Smithsonian museum warehouse.This prompted much controversy and political debate.The Smithsonian agreed to return Ishi’s brain to surviving Native American tribes closely related to the Yahi, and it was buried with Ishi’s body in 2000.
