  • Putah Creek Watershed Watershed Assessment and Water Quality Monitoring Proposal June 28, 2004
    Napa County Putah Creek Watershed Watershed Assessment and Water Quality Monitoring Proposal June 28, 2004 Lower Chiles Valley, Napa County Putah Creek Drainage Prepared By: Phillip Blake, USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service, Napa Sandy Elles & Jennifer Kopp, Napa County Farm Bureau Dave Whitmer, Napa County Agricultural Commissioner Bob Zlomke, Napa Co. Resource Conservation District Napa County Putah Creek Watershed Group Steering Committee: Sally Kimsey Jim Frisinger Tucker Catlin Robert Craig Jack Todeschini Don Clark Advisor: Diane Dillon, Supervisor, Dist. 4 1 2 Introduction In July, 2003, the Napa County Farm Bureau organized an informational meeting of landowners and farm agency representatives, to discuss local ramifications for the removal of agricultural waste discharge waivers in the Putah Creek watershed. Following this initial exploration of information known about Irrigated Lands Waivers, the NC Farm Bureau invited farmers in the Napa County Putah Creek area to join a coalition and apply for a group waiver. The group would organize to share best management practices and conduct water quality monitoring. Since that initial meeting, representatives from Napa County Farm Bureau, USDA Natural Resouces Conservation Service, (NRCS) Napa County Resource Conservation District, (NCRCD), UC Cooperative Extension, and the Napa County Agricultural Commissioner have further studied the issue and determined that irrigated lands in the area are primarily drip-irrigated wine grape vineyards. These farm operations typically employ minimal use of chemical inputs and utilize farm cultural practices that present a very limited potential to impact downstream waters with pollutants of concern. Water quality issues have been extensively discussed and addressed through various processes, including 2 different county watershed task forces and several technical advisory bodies, since 1989.

  • The Biological Resources Section Provides Background Information
    4.5 BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The Biological resources section provides background information on sensitive biological resources within Napa County, the regulations and programs that provide for their protection, and an assessment of the potential impacts to biological resources of implementing the Napa County General Plan Update. This section is based upon information presented in the Biological Resources Chapter of the Napa County Baseline Data Report (Napa County, BDR 2005). Additional information on the topics presented herein can be found in these documents. Both documents are incorporated into this section by reference. This section addresses biological resources other than fisheries which are separately addressed in Section 4.6. 4.5.1 SETTING REGIONAL SETTING The Napa County is located in the Coast Ranges Geomorphic Province. This province is bounded on the west by the Pacific Ocean and on the east by the Great Valley geomorphic province. A dominant characteristic of the Coast Ranges Province is the general northwest- southeast orientation of its valleys and ridgelines. In Napa County, located in the eastern, central section of the province, this trend consists of a series of long, linear, major and lesser valleys, separated by steep, rugged ridge and hill systems of moderate relief that have been deeply incised by their drainage systems. The County is located within the California Floristic Province, the portion of the state west of the Sierra Crest that is known to be particularly rich in endemic plant species (Hickman 1993, Stein et al. 2000). LOCAL SETTING The County’s highest topographic feature is Mount St. Helena, which is located in the northwest corner of the County and whose peak elevation is 4,343 feet.

  • I Integrated Water Operations in California: Hydropower, Overdraft
    Integrated Water Operations in California: Hydropower, Overdraft, and Climate Change By MUSTAFA SAHIN DOGAN B.S. (Dokuz Eylul University, Izmir, Turkey) 2011 THESIS Submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE in Civil and Environmental Engineering in the OFFICE OF GRADUATE STUDIES of the UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS Approved: _____________________________________ Jay R. Lund, Chair _____________________________________ Samuel Sandoval Solis _____________________________________ Jonathan Herman Committee in Charge 2015 i Abstract Several management and climate cases are evaluated with the updated CALVIN, a hydro-economic optimization model of California’s inter-tied water supply infrastructure. Updates to the CALVIN model include new projected 2050 agricultural target demands and scarcity penalties, improvements to network- flow representation, especially agricultural, urban, and wildlife refuge demands, and extended surface and ground water hydrology, now covering an 82-year historical inflow hydrology. A new energy price scheme is applied to CALVIN, which incorporates hourly energy price variations into monthly CALVIN operations. Using one constant average price for a month underestimates hydropower revenue and overestimates pumping costs. Hourly-varying moving average prices improved representation of hydropower revenue without creating significant scarcities to agricultural and urban water users. Effects of ending long-term groundwater overdraft in the Central Valley are evaluated with several management cases using CALVIN. The cases include effects of Delta outflow and Delta exports from a “no overdraft” policy. The least cost overdraft that minimizes groundwater pumping and scarcity costs is calculated for the 82- year period. Prohibiting Delta exports result in severe water scarcities south of the Delta. Water operations are more economical when overdraft is ended with adaptations, such as more Delta exports, increased groundwater banking, and water trades, than historical operations with overdraft.

  • ARSENIC in DRINKING WATER Vacaville Meets the Limit
    The City of Vacaville (City) wants you, our customers, to know that your water system has met all water quality standards and is a safe and reliable drinking water supply. These standards are established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and the California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB). In 2019 the City distributed over 5.3 billion gallons of high quality drinking water. This water was subjected to extensive testing, not only for regulated contaminants, but for many non-regulated chemical properties as well. More than 8,000 analyses were performed on drinking water samples in 2019. Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants doesn’t necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be Water Treatment Operator, Atanas Pavlov, obtained by calling the USEPA’s Safe Drinking Water Hotline at atop Reynolds Ranch Reservoir during (800) 426-4791. If you have further questions, please contact the Water construction Quality Laboratory Supervisor, Michael Torres, by phone at (707) 469-6439 or by email at [email protected]. You may also attend City Council Meetings to voice your opinions—please check the City website for meeting notices to see if any water related topics are on the agenda. HEALTH RELATED INFORMATION Photo by EPA Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the City of Vacaville Water Quality Laboratory general population.
