2. Community Education Plan, Timeline, and Budget, California Agricultural Technology Institute, (1992), Location: AMBAG Library.

This report contains a plan for a community education program to be conducted by the Monterey County Water Resources Agency. The purpose of the program is to encourage county farmers to utilize agricultural irrigation, fertilization and other crop management practices which can have the effect of reducing nitrate leaching, thereby preserving and protecting the county's groundwater supplies.

3. Evaluation of Public Relations & Community Affairs Opportunities and Alternatives, California Agricultural Technology Institute, (1992), Location: AMBAG Library.

The Monterey County Water Resources Agency (MCWRA) is responsible for identifying information about Best Management Practices vis-a-vis irrigated and fertilized agricultural operations within the county. The MCWRA, in conjunction with county farmers, is also responsible for identifying methods to reduce nitrate leaching into the subsurface water supplies within the county. The MCWRA is conducting an evaluation to identify effective means with which to conduct a community education program which can assist the agency in achieving its nitrate leaching mitigation and groundwater preservation and protection objectives. This report addresses marketing issues facing the county as it seeks to develop its community education program. Specifically, this report addresses issues of marketing communication purposes and objectives, target audience characteristics, media alternatives, distribution options, and community education effectiveness assessment requirements.

4. Survey of Monterey County Farmers Regarding Nitrate Leaching and Water Conservation, California Agricultural Technology Institute, (1992), Location: AMBAG Library.

The results of the survey are contained in the body of this report.

5. Coastal Land Environment, Vol. 3 of 3, Central Coast Regional Commission California Coastal Zone Conservation Commission, (?).

This report focuses upon the crops that are most dependent upon the particular soils and climate combinations along the coast, illustrating their importance in producing food, supplying jobs, contributing to overall economic activity and also contributing to the overall scenic quality of the coastal landscape. Other agricultural uses, primarily grazing, are also discussed to a lesser extent.

6. Monterey Wastewater Reclamation Study for Agriculture, Engineering-Science, Inc, (1986), Location: Monterey County Water Resources Agency Library CW-212.

This study attempts to determine whether irrigating with reclaimed wastewater is safe for consumers and farm workers. The study examines the following issues: (1) whether irrigating with reclaimed water is harmful to soils because of accumulation of heavy metals and salts or because of impaired permeability; (2) whether irrigating with reclaimed water affects yield, quality or growth of crops; (3) whether consumer demand for crops will be adversely affected; and (4) whether irrigating with reclaimed water is feasible and economical. The secondary objectives of the project were to: evaluate wastewater treatment effectiveness, provide design criteria for the regional plant, develop design criteria for full-scale reclamation, and provide field operational experience.

7. The Status of Agricultural Drainage Problems in California, 1989, Hanson, Blane R.; Tanji, Kenneth K., (1989), Location: AMBAG Library.

8. The Impact of Agricultural Return Flows on Surface Water Quality in the Monterey Bay Area, Jagger, P., (1981), Location: AMBAG Library.

This study was conducted to develop information on sources of nonpoint pollution to assist the Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments in developing water quality management plans. The report investigates the local potential for pesticides, fungicides and fertilizers to combine with irrigation water or rainfall to produce contaminated agricultural runoff which may enter surface waters.

9. Evaluation of Salinity Created By Irrigation Return Flows, Jenke, Arthur L., (1974), Location: AMBAG Library.

This report is devoted primarily to an objective presentation of the nature and extent of water quality deterioration created by the introduction of salinity into the aquatic environment by irrigation return flows. While it deals primarily with salinity, or total solids, it recognizes that sedimentation, nutrients, pesticides, organic debris, and heavy metals, among others, contribute significantly to the problem of water quality degradation throughout the nation. Deep percolation of irrigation returns is causing increasingly significant pollution of the groundwater environment in many parts of the nation.

10. An Assessment and Report of Management Alternatives for Disposal of Pesticide and Fertilizer Rinse Waters, Jones, Vernon; Van Voris, Bert, (1981), Location: AMBAG Library.

This report documents the findings of the Regional Water Quality Control Board during a survey of prevailing practices of pesticide and fertilizer retail businesses in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. The project was financed, in part with Federal funds from the Environmental Protection Agency under the Clean Water Act, Section 208. The report focuses on disposal of waste and wastewaters, its impact on nearby surface and groundwaters, and how disposal practices may be improved to mitigate water quality concerns.

11. Lower Salinas River Near Coastal Waters Initiative Pilot Project, Kleinfelder Inc.; Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, (1992), Location: Kleinfelder, Sacramento, California.

Pesticides and their potential to migrate to groundwater or nearby surface water is a significant concern in areas of agricultural production. Historically, the land adjacent to the Salinas River has been and continues to be an area of intensive agricultural production. Use of pesticides in this area have led to questions concerning their potential impact to water quality in both the Salinas River and Monterey Bay. Water samples from subsurface drains, surface soil, and surface runoff were collected in two 30 acre fields for 22 months. Approximately 115 samples were analysed for organochlorine, organophosphate and carbimate pesticides. This report provides the findings of these analyses.

12. Pajaro Valley Irrigation Project, Final Report, McNeish, Charles M., (1985), Location: AMBAG Library.

The two fundamental tasks of this report were to define optimal irrigation practices and to identify possible improvements in existing practices. Irrigation requirements of all major crops were determined by experiments and numerous field measurements of water usage, crop and soil water status, and soil water depletion rates. Significant irrigation scheduling improvements were considered as a possible alternative if applied water usage differed substantially from irrigation requirements or if crop water stress was experienced.

16. Demonstration Program for Reducing Nitrate Leaching Through Improvements to Irrigation Efficency and Fertilizer/Cover Crop Management, Schulbach, K. F.; Inman, J. W.; Jackson, L. E.; Hanson, B. R.; Pettygrove, G. S.; Schwankl, L. J., (1993).

The long-term objective of this project is to have vegetable producers in the Salinas Valley increase the use of management practices in their crop, water, and nutrient management that will reduce the quantity of nitrate percolating below the root zone. The practices on which this project focuses were drip irrigated and use of nitrate-trapping cover crops. Effort for this project was directed to relatively untested technologies that could change the overall manner in which nutrients and water are managed. Documentation is focused on drip irrigation performance on coarse-textured soils and on the potential role of cover cropping in reducing winter leaching.

17. Methods and Practices for Controlling Water Pollution from Agricultural Nonpoint Sources, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, (1973), Location: AMBAG Library.

This report provides information on methods and practices that will control or reduce water pollution from nonpoint agricultural sources. Nonpoint agricultural pollutants are organic and inorganic materials entering surface and groundwater from nonspecific or unidentified sources in sufficient quantity to constitute a pollution problem. They include sediment, plant nutrients, animal wastes, and pesticides from cropland, rangeland, pastures, and farm woodlots. Both economic and environmental considerations are important in controlling nonpoint sources of water pollution.

18. Best Management Practices for Agricultural Nonpoint Source Control Chapter IV Pesticides, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, (1984), Location: AMBAG Library.

19. Developing Alternative Management Approaches to Agriculture in a Sensitive Estuarine Watershed, Elkhorn Slough, California, Werner, Matthew; Gleissman, Stephen; Swezey, Sean; Silberstein, Mark; Tjeerdema, Ron; University of California Santa Cruz; Elkhorn Slough Foundation; The Nature Conservancy; Monterey County Agricultural and Historical Land Conservancy, (1992), Location: Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve.

The recent aquisition of the Azavedo Ranch in the upper Elkhorn Slough by the Nature Conservancy and the Monterey County Agricultural and Historical Land Conservancy provides a unique opportunity to study interactions between agricultural practices, anthropogenic inputs, and estuarine functioning. This property, in conjunction with Blohm Ranch also owned by the Nature Conservancy, encompasses three distinct subwatersheds extending from the ridgetop to the slough. This property provides not only a defined watershed, but cooperative owners willing to develop this site as a model for ecologically and economically sustainable agriculture in an estuarine system. The overall objective is to establish sampling protocols and complete a baseline characterization of an agricultural production system and an adjoining wetland prior to modification of the cultivation practices.

20. A Study and Report of the Possible Long Term Effects of Sodium on the Castroville Area Soils When Irrigated with Water from the 900-Foot Aquifer Pumped from Monterey County's Deep Well, Ares, G., (1982), Location: AMBAG Library, MCWRA Library C-013.

Seawater is currently advancing inland at a rate of 300 to 500 feet per year. The proportion of sodium (Na) in relation to calcium (Ca) and magnesium (Mg) could cause permeability problems on certain soils in the Salinas Valley when used over the long term.

28. Monterey Harbor Special Lead Study, California State Mussel Watch Marine Water Quality Monitoring Program. The Sources of Lead Found in Mussels, Sediments, and Water in Monterey Harbor and Vicinity, California. State Water Resources Control Board, (1986), Location: UCB WRCA.

Samples of marine mussels (Mytilus californianus) taken by the state Mussel Watch Marine Monitoring program in the Monterey Peninsula area since 1979 have shown high concentrations of lead in their tissues relative to samples taken elsewhere along California's coast. Samples taken near Monterey Harbor have shown the highest concentrations. Mussels from the harbor area exhibited concentrations of lead which exceeded 95% of all other concentrations found statewide along the coast and also exceeded public health standards. A plan for an intensive study of the harbor area was prepared and mussel samples were again taken in February 1984. Sediment samples were subsequently taken in June 1984. Results were reported in the State Water Resources Control Board report "California State Mussel Watch, 1983-84" (Water Quality Monitoring Report No. 85-2WQ).

29. Trace Element Concentrations of the Rough Limpet, Acmaea scabra, in California, Flegal, Russell, 1978, Bulletin of Environmental Contaminant Toxicology, Vol. 20, 834-839, Location: AMBAG Library.

The trace elements (Ag, Cd, Cu, Fe, Mn, Ni, Zn) concentration in the rough limpet, Acmaea scabra, were determined at twelve locations along the California coastline. The mean silver concentration exhibited measurable geographic differences. Simple linear correlation coefficients and multiple analysis of variance statistics indicated a general independence of the elemental concentrations from each other and from other biologic and geographic variables.

30. The Geographic Variations of Silver in the Black Turban Snail, Tegula funebralis, Flegal, Russell, 1980, Environment International, Vol. 3, 303-305.

The geographic variation of silver concentrations in the black turban snail, Tegula funebralis, along the California coastline indicates an anthropogenic influence. Relatively elevated levels of the metal occur in organisms adjacent to major wastewater outfalls compared to those from less populated areas. This parallels the distribution of silver concentrations in other molluscs within the area. These findings therefore substantiate the proposal that the pattern is primarily due to external factors, such as wastewater discharges, rather than intraspecific among the samples.

31. Elevated Concentrations of Mercury in Mussels (Mytilus californianus) Associated with Pinniped Colonies, Flegal, Russell, 1981, Marine Biology, Vol. 65, 45-48, Location: AMBAG Library.

The geographic distribution of mercury concentrations in the California Mussel, Mytilus californianus, collected from 1977-1978 at 43 sites along the western coastline of the continental United States is marked by consistently elevated levels at two locations. These two sites, which are relatively isolated from anthropogenic inputs and mercury rich minerals, both contain large pinniped and marine bird populations. The relatively elevated mercury levels measured in the excrements of a pinniped from one of those locales indicate that the concentrated discharge of mercury rich waste products from the marine ecosystem's top carnivores is contaminating lower trophic levels.

32. Isotope Systematics of Contaminant Leads in Monterey Bay, Flegal, Russell; Rosman, Kevin J. R.; Stephenson, Mark D., 1987, Environmental Science & Technology, Vol. 21, 1075, Location: AMBAG Library.

Isotopic compositions of stable lead were used to identify a lead slag deposit as the principle source of contaminant lead in Monterey Bay. This point source had been indicated by anomalously high lead concentrations in native mussels near the deposit, which were orders of magnitude above the base-line concentration of the species. Subsequent analyses revealed that the lead concentrations of both transplanted mussels and intertidal sediments were positively correlated with their proximity to the slag deposit. This study demonstrates the potential of lead isotope systematics both to identify sources of lead contaminants in marine organisms and to trace its bio-geochemical cycle in the marine environment.

65. Draft EIR/EIS Salinas Valley Seawater Intrusion Program, Jones & Stokes and Associates Inc., (1990), Location: Monterey County Water Resources Agency Library SV-158.

The Monterey County Water Resources Agency is proposing to reduce the rate of seawater intrusion into the Castroville/Marina/Fort Ord area of the Salinas Valley by more than 50 percent and provide a long-term supply to meet municipal and agricultural needs. The project entails capping groundwater wells in the areas affected by seawater intrusion, drilling new wells upgradient to supply water to the City of Marina and Fort Ord, and diverting Salinas River flows and reclaimed wastewater to supply water to the Castroville irrigation system. This Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Impact Statement analyzes the impacts of this proposed action, as well as the impacts of various alternatives, including a water supply project without reclaimed wastewater, use of an extraction barrier, construction of a dam on the Arroyo Seco, and the no project alternative.

129. Soquel Creek Storm Damage Recovery Plan, Singer, Steven; Swanson, Mitchell L., (1983).

Soquel Village is located on a periodically inundated floodplain of Soquel Creek at the lower end of a geologically unstable watershed. The village has a chance of being flooded once every seven to ten years. Flood hazards cannot be eliminated without increasing channel capacity at Soquel Village. However, flood damages can be significantly reduced if all bridges can be kept free of log jams. The only feasible solution to the log jam problem is to modify and or replace the Soquel Drive Bridge, or as a stop gap measure to improve bridge log-removal efforts during floods. Increasing use and development in the upper watershed area, if not properly managed, could increase the likelihood and severity of log jam and flooding hazards in Soquel Village.

A federal flood control project was constructed in 1959 which provided standard flood protection for the City of Santa Cruz. Since 1959 inadequate maintenance dredging of the project has occurred and the river bed has been filled with sediment. It is estimated that the project provides protection to the city for only a 30-year flood event. An array of alternatives was investigated during the course of this study to evaluate viable solutions for restoring the project design capacity. It was found that the best alternative for restoring the river to its design capacity, was to dredge the accumulated sediment and maintain regular sediment dredging in the area.

147. Geographic Information System, Zidar, Matt; Monterey County Water Resources Agency, (1992), Location: Monterey County Water Resources Agency.

The Monterey County Water Resource Agency (MCWRA) is implementing a Geographic Information System (GIS) as part of the Water Management Data System (WMDS). The MCWRA has adopted the use of a system called the Santa Ana GIS (SAGIS) cofunded and codeveloped by the Santa Ana Watershed Project Authority (SAWPA) and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). SAGIS was adopted because it meets roughly 70 percent of the MCWRA functional requirements for their GIS system. A pilot project application of the SAGIS was to be installed in August 1993. The SAGIS system couples the ARC/INFO GIS software to an ORACLE relational data base management system software. Data which will be needed for modeling includes meterologic data, surface water hydrology, groundwater hydrology, water use, water quality, socioeconomic geographic data, water resources facilities, and environmental data.

164. Salinas River Study Phase III Report: Phreatophyte Water Use, Anderson-Nichols & Co. Inc., (1985).

Phreatophytes are forms of vegetation which meet their water needs with groundwater. This study investigates a 300 foot wide corridor along the Salinas River to determine the amount of water consumed by phreatophytes and to determine the potential savings that could be obtained from a phreatophyte control program. The current phreatophyte control program sprays each reach of the river with herbicides once every three years. Willows are the dominant species subject to eradication. The program is estimated to save an estimated 7000 acre feet of groundwater per year. If the current policy were changed and phreatophytes were eradicated annually in each area, total water saved would increase to 11,000 acre-feet/year due to decreased regrowth of phreatophytes.

184. Seawater Intrusion in California, Inventory of Coastal Groundwater Basins, California State Department of Water Resources, (1975), Location: AMBAG Library.

The groundwater supply of many urban communities adjacent to the coast of California is threatened by underground intrusion of saline water from the Pacific Ocean. This condition exists whenever groundwater levels have been drawn down below sea level. To assist local agencies that must cope with this threat, the Department of Water Resources continually monitors wells in these areas to determine whether seawater has intruded the groundwater basin. This is accomplished by testing the salt content of water samples from wells and measuring the fluctuation of water levels in wells. The primary purpose of this bulletin is to show, as completely as available information permits, the present status of seawater intrusion, to the end that local agencies can decide where they must take steps to reverse the condition.

193. Use of Time Domain Electromagnetic Soundings for Mapping Seawater Intrusion in Monterey County, California, Earth Technology Corporation, (1986), Location: Monterey County Water Resources Agency Library SV-095.

Prior to this survey, Monterey County Flood Control and Water Conservation District relied on water quality samples from monitoring wells to determine the extent of seawater intrusion in the Salinas Valley. The purpose of this survey was to use surface geophysics to obtain information about water quality between monitoring wells and to contour the position of the 500-ppm isochlor in both the 180-foot and 400-foot aquifers.

194. Monterey County Time Domain Electromagnetic Sounding (TDEM) Survey, Earth Technology Corporation, (1987), Location: Monterey County Water Resources Agency Library CW-408.

Time domain electromagnetic sounding (TDEM) was used to map the extent of seawater intrusion within the 180-foot and 400-foot aquifers. TDEM was used for the survey because it has been shown to yield better lateral and vertical resolution than other geophysical methods. The technique measures electrical resistivity stratification and is therefore well suited for mapping chloride contamination in an aquifer. Chloride contamination is evident by a decrease in resistivity. The survey illustrated that TDEM can be an integrated part of a monitoring program.

This study attempts to address this problem by identifying and evaluating areas suitable for retention, storage, and percolation of stormwater runoff within the east side area.

204. Recharge of Alluvial Aquifers from the Pajaro River Channel, Pajaro Valley, California, Hecht, Barry; Reid, Mark; Johnson, Nicholas M.; Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, (1983), Location: UCB WRCA G4857 M3-1.

Previous studies have indicated that existing recharge rates in the Pajaro River between the gaging stations at Chittenden and Watsonville average about 5 cubic feet per second during non-storm periods. This rate is substantially less than that for other central California streams. As a result recharge from the Pajaro River has been estimated to be 3500 to 4500 acre feet, or about 5 or 6 percent of annual groundwater use in the basin. This report focuses on the sediments and recharge system near the head of the Pajaro Valley. Data on geology, hydrology, and water quality are described, as well as an analysis of the Pajaro River recharge system. Cumulative water demand in the area recharged by the river is quantified, rates of streamflow losses between upstream and downstream gages are analyzed, and results of measurements defining the recharge system are presented. Also included is a monthly recharge balance, for both wet and dry years.

224. Scotts Valley Groundwater Basin Nitrate Pollution Study Task II Report: Monitoring Program Implementation, Luhdorf and Scalmanni, (1985), Location: AMBAG Library.

The Scotts Valley Groundwater Basin, located inland of the Santa Cruz Coast, underlies approximately 12 square miles of rural residential and expanding suburban and commercial development. In the southern end of the Scotts Valley basin, high nitrate levels, some exceeding federal and state drinking water standards, have been detected in a few water supply wells operated by the San Lorenzo Valley Water District and a private mobile home park. Preliminary groundwater investigations have indicated that this groundwater contamination is limited to the southern end of the Valley and that it may be linked to effluent from on-site wastewater disposal systems or past discharges of centrally-treated wastewater. The results of previous investigations have focused the nitrate problem into a particular area which is the study area for this investigation and report.

226. Pajaro Valley Groundwater Investigation Phase I, Luhdorf and Scalmanni, (1987), Location: AMBAG Library.

Historically, water requirements within the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency have been met by the development and production of groundwater. Over the past thirty-five years, there have been numerous investigations and reports which focused on the yield of the groundwater basin, pumpage from the basin, and overdraft resulting from pumpage exceeding the "safe yield". Over the years, a number of potential supplemental water supplies have been investigated, including the importation of surface water from the San Felipe project. This report is a critical review of existing groundwater data and information that has been used in investigations on groundwater yield, seawater intrusion, and deep aquifer water supply. The determination of the adequacy of existing data and information for preparation of an updated hydrologic balance, for description of the extent of seawater intrusion, and for determination of the viability of a deep aquifer water supply is discussed in the report. Recommendations for future groundwater work by the agency are also included.

227. Pajaro Valley Ground Water Investigation Phase II, Luhdorff and Scalmanni, (1987), Location: AMBAG Library.

Abstract currently not available.

229. Urban Water Management Water Plan, Marina County Water District, (1992), Location: Marina County Water District.

The uncertanty surrounding the longevity of the MCWD's current local source of water supply in the deep zone and the apparent lack of concensus for developing regional supplies such as the seawater intrusion program presents a dilemma, but also opportunities, for long-term water supply planning in Marina. In the nearterm the MCWD will likely need to continue to rely on local sources of supply including deep aquifer development, wastewater reclamation, and desalination. For long-term supplies, the MCWD is seeking to cooperate with other entities to develop regional supply projects that would gradually replace the local sources and provide solutions to the problems of basin overdraft and seawater intrusion.

230. Aquifer-Stream Interaction in the Lower Carmel Valley, Monterey County, California, McGlochlin, Linda, (1984), Location: UCB WRCA, Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

The Carmel River, which drains a 255 square mile watershed near the central California coast is the principal source of recharge to the alluvial aquifer of the Carmel Valley. In recent years, there has been considerable controversy as to whether groundwater in the western six miles of the aquifer is subsurface flow of the Carmel River. This investigation has shown that the aquifer is, for the most part, unconfined with seepage from the Carmel River's bed and banks as the primary means of groundwater recharge.

233. Groundwater Pumpage in Part of Monterey County, California, 1963-1967, Muir, K. S., (1972), Location: AMBAG Library.

Quantitative estimates of groundwater pumpage from the principal groundwater basins in California are necessary for future appraisal studies and for constructing hydrologic models and systematic planning of water use and conservation. Methods of estimating pumpage for this report were based on electric power consumption for agricultural wells and on consumption rates of water for urban areas. This report is part of a series planned to include the major groundwater basins in California.

234. Seawater Intrusion and Potential Yield of Aquifers in the Soquel-Aptos Area, Santa Cruz County, California, Muir, K. S., (1980), Location: AMBAG Library.

Seawater has intruded the Purisma formation in the interval 0-100 feet below sea level in the Soquel-Aptos area. It occurs in the central part of the area and extends inland about half a mile. The potential yields of the two principal aquifers in the Soquel-Aptos area are 4,400 acre-feet per year from the Purisma formation and 1,500 acre-feet per year from the Aromas Sand. Pumping from the Purisma formation averaging about 5,400 acre feet per year since 1970, has caused water levels along the coast to decline below sea level and has allowed seawater to enter the aquifer. Seawater intrusion and groundwater storage could be monitored in all depth zones by expanding the observation well network to include a number of shallow wells, one deep well inland from the coast, and three deep wells along the coast.

235. Assessment of the Santa Margarita Sandstone as a Source of Drinking Water for the Scotts Valley Area, California, Muir, K. S., (1981), Location: UCB WRCA G4852 M1-1.

Scotts Valley is a rural residential area with a rapidly expanding population. The Santa Margarita Sandstone is the principal aquifer in the area, supplying about 90 percent of all water for domestic purposes. Sources of recharge for the Santa Margarita Sandstone are natural recharge, subsurface inflow from adjacent areas, artificial recharge, and deep penetration of excess irrigation water. The quantity of groundwater pumped for domestic use is expected to increase at a rate of seven percent per year. This report discusses the suitability of Santa Margarita groundwater for domestic use, potential for groundwater degradation, and other alternative sources of drinking water to serve the area.

236. Sea Water Intrusion, Groundwater Pumpage, Groundwater Yield, and Artificial Recharge of the Pajaro Valley area, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties, California, Muir, K.

238. Marina County Water District Desalination Feasibility Study, Nolte and Associates, (1991), Location: MCWRA Library Marina County Water District.

As seawater has degraded Marina's wells in the 180-foot and 400-foot aquifers, Marina has responded by drilling three wells into the deep aquifer. Although there is currently no direct evidence of seawater intrusion in these deep wells, it is not possible to predict how long they will continue to provide water of an acceptably low salinity. In recognition of these problems, this study was initiated to explore the technical, institutional, and economic aspects of the seawater and brackish water desalination process, as well as associated activities including feed water supply, product water distribution, and brine waste disposal.

255. Report on Castroville Irrigation Project Deep Test Hole and Freshwater Bearing Strata below the 400-Foot Aquifer, Salinas Valley, California, Thorup, Richard R., (1976), Location: AMBAG Library.

Based on the information gained from drilling and evaluating the test hole, the conclusion is reached that in all probability this well site, and the Castroville area in general, cannot support a well field containing the size of wells required to economically fill the requirements of the project. A goal of 3,000 gallons per minute per well has been set as a requirement for a deep well, and it is anticipated that nine such wells will be needed to supply the project. The test hole location appears to fall short of this objective. No other location in the service area appears to have any greater capacity.

267. Salinas Valley Groundwater Model Alternative Analysis, Boyle Engineering Corp., (1987), Location: Monterey County Water Resources Agency Library SV- 101b and SV-117a.

Seawater intrusion is presently occurring in two confined aquifers underlying the Salinas Valley. These aquifers are known as the "180-foot" and the "400-foot" in reference to their average depth to water bearing strata. As of 1983, seawater intrusion had affected approximately 15,000 acres of land overlying the 180-foot aquifer and 6,300 acres of land overlying the 400-foot aquifer. Present developments are beginning to exploit a third water bearing strata, located beneath the 400-foot aquifer, known as the Deep Zone. The main area of concern in this study is the lower Salinas River Valley from Marina north to Elkhorn Slough and inland toward the City of Salinas.

293. Moss Landing Harbor Extension Study (Public Brochure), U.S. Army Corps of Engineers San Francisco District, (1974), Location: UCB WRCA G4683 K4-1.

The Moss Landing Harbor District requested that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers determine if any modification of the existing harbor is possible. Moss Landing, like the rest of the Monterey Bay area, supports both a marine recreation and a commercial fishing industry. Presently there is inadequate berthing spaces at all competing facilities in the Monterey and Santa Cruz area. Studies indicate that there will be a shortage of approximately 1,500 berths for small craft in the Monterey Bay area by 1980. Part of this demand for berthing space can be satisfied by the construction of new facilities at Moss Landing Harbor. However, capacity for harbor expansion is limited by physical, economical, social, and environmental constraints.

Tidal Oscillations at the Head of Monterey Submarine Canyon and Their Relation to Oceanographic Sampling and the Circulation of Water in Monterey Bay, Broenkow, William W.; McKain, Scott J., (1972), Location: UCB WRCA G46831 W no 72-5 UCD Main Lib GC1021.C2 M67 no.72-5; UCSC Science QH540.A1M61 no.72-5.

During a 25-hour hydrographic time series at two stations near the head of Monterey Submarine Canyon, an internal tide was observed with an amplitude of 80 to 115 meters in water depths of 120 and 220 meters respectively. These large oscillations produced daily variations in hydrographic and chemical parameters that were of the same magnitude as seasonal variations in Monterey Bay. Computed velocities associated with the internal tide were on the order of 10 cm/sec. This tidally induced circulation may have a significant role in the exchange of deep water between Monterey Submarine Canyon and the open ocean.

Concern about the possible effects of water resource development on aquatic habitat prompted the State Water Resources Control Board to undertake this study on instream flow requirements for sediment transport in Zayante Creek and the lower San Lorenzo River, Santa Cruz County, California. The approach of this study was to: (1) quantify certain aspects of a sediment budget for Zayante Creek, including sediment supply and transport, and (2) monitor changes in substrate and channel morphology in Zayante Creek and the lower San Lorenzo River over the course of the winter season.

406. Carmel River Sediment Study, Curry, Robert; Kondolf, Mathias G., (1981), Location: AMBAG Library, Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

Observed erosion of channel banks along some reaches of the lower Carmel River has led to concerns about loss of property, added sediment load from channel banks, and possibilities for continuing and increasing imbalances throughout the river. In order to make recommendations about stabilization of the unstable areas of the Carmel River channel and in order to make predictions about the future stability of the whole river system, further information was needed on the causes of bank instability and sources of sediment moving into some reaches of the channel. Total sediment budget information was needed to establish estimates of the time necessary for the river to recover it's equilibrium if causes of disequilibrium are controlled.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the riparian vegetation of the lower Salinas River will be adversely effected by the removal of the Alisal and the Salinas Main treatment plant wastewater discharges. The critical period of concern is the dry season, from July through September, when effluent can constitute 50 to 100 percent of the river flow.

415. Recent Channel Instability and Historic Channel Changes of the Carmel River, Monterey County, California, Kondolf, G. Mathias, 1982, Location: UCB WRCA G46832 M2 L.C.; UCSC Science GB565.C2K66; NRLF GB565.C2K66 Type EXP NRLF for loan details.

The Carmel River is an intermittent stream draining 256 square miles of the Santa Lucia Range, debouching in the Pacific Ocean at Carmel. Its lower 15 miles traverse an alluvial valley, the "Carmel Valley". The alluvium underlaying the valley serves as a major water source for the urban areas of the Monterey Peninsula. Excessive drawdown of the aquifer in the 1970s was associated with die off of riparian vegetation and, during high flows of 1978 and 1980, erosion of 25 acres of bank, with a total value of about $1,250,000. This recent channel instability was examined in light of the historical record of the Carmel River.

418. Computation of Total Sediment Load of the Carmel River, CA, Krebs, Francis, (1983), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

High flow storm events are responsible for moving the majority of the sediment in the Carmel River. In order to account for the sediment load moved during the highest storm peaks, it is advantageous to base flow duration analyses on hourly discharge values. For years where only mean daily values are available, a large number of categories in the upper flow ranges should be used. It is hoped that annual sediment load measurements from the Carmel River will be useful in monitoring the health of the river and its banks.

438. Big Sur River Protected Waterway Management Plan, Stanley, John Jr, (1982), Location: AMBAG Library.

The California Protected Waterways plan prepared in 1971, pursuant to the Protected Waterways Act of 1969, recognized the Big Sur River as a Class III (Important) Steelhead Trout Stream. In this report, the 17-acre lagoon at the river mouth was evaluated as an imporatnt wildlife waterway. In addition, the 2.5 mile reach from the Highway 1 bridge at Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park to Big Sur was considered to be a Class II waterway suitable for experienced open canoers during a portion of the year. In 1973 the State Legislature, with the support of the Monterey County Board of Supervisors, designated the Big Sur River a protected waterway. In 1979, the California State Department of Fish and Game and the Monterey County Board of Supervisors entered into an agreement to prepare a detailed protected waterway management plan for the Big Sur River. This protected waterway plan has been developed as a management program intended to assist in implementing the Big Sur Coast Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan. The attempt in this protected waterway plan is to treat the river and its watershed as one total ecosystem and to develop an integrated program of land, water and resource management which will adequately protect both local and state wide interests in the Little Sur River, its resources and its environs.

457. Carmel River Research Program, Matthews, Graham, (1985), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

A continuing effort to better quantify the dynamics of the Carmel River is necessary for understanding how sediment moves through the various reaches of the river. This information is used to help design erosion control projects, and evaluate the effect of these projects on the geometry of the river channel, sediment transport rates, and fish habitat.

458. Sediment Transport and Channel Stability, Carmel River, California, Curry, Robert; Kondolf, G. Mathias, (1983), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

Bank devegetation and bank erosion have resulted in property loss and degradation of the riparian system along parts of the lower and middle Carmel River in recent years. The loss of riparian vegetation was due to either removal for agriculture or development or dewatering by groundwater withdrawl. Loss of streamside vegetation resulted in loss of shade, cover and food for fish, a problem considered by Kelly and Dettmann (1983). More relevant to the question of channel stability, the loss of vegetation made banks vulnerable to erosion.

Sea level fluctuations at Monterey were correlated with data from these stations, particularly those to the south. The causes of sea level fluctuations at Monterey were investigated by correlation, regression, and spectral analysis of sea level with atmospheric pressure, zonal and meridional wind stress, Ekman and Sverdrup transport, surface temperature and salinity, and dynamic height data from nearby locations.

463. Surface Circulation and Replacement of Water in Monterey Bay, Broenkow, William W.; Smiethie, William M. Jr, 1978, Estuarine and Coastal Marine Science, Vol. 6, 583-603, Location: AMBAG Library.

Observations in Monterey Bay for 27 months have been used to describe net surface circulation and nutrient distributions. Surface water characteristics are slightly modified in the northern and southern bay compared to mid-bay. Local winds correlate well with upwelling episodes. Our data suggest upwelling occurs predominantly along the coast south of the bay, and the effects of recent upwelling are observed within the bay due to a general northerly flow. Internal tidal mixing promotes a net upward transport of cool nutrient rich water at the head of Monterey Submarine Canyon.

465. An Evaluation of a Numerical Water Elevation and Tidal Current Prediction Model Applied to Monterey Bay, Lazanoff, Sheldon Mark, (1971), Location: UCB WRCA G46831-K1-3.

During the normal course of events, tidal circulation in coastal areas, estuaries and rivers affects a diverse number of parameters including marine life in the intertidal and near shore zones, the flow of manmade sewage and other pollutants dumped into the water, offshore structures, channel dredging and other engineering projects, and, of course, ship traffic. An operational hydrodynamical model to compute water elevations and currents has been developed by Professor Walter Hansen at the University of Hamburg. This thesis tests a form of that model on the Monterey Bay.

537. Guidelines for Instream Flows in Planning for Water Development, Santa Cruz County, California, H. Esmaili and Associates; D. W. Kelly and Associates; Harvey and Stanley Associates, (1984), Location: UCB WRCA.

The economy and way of life in Northern and Central Santa Cruz County has always been closely associated with the streams that flow through the area. Adequate flows of good quality water, supporting a wide range of aquatic and riparian habitat, are part of what the residents of the county have come to expect. A growing emphasis has been placed on sustaining as many of these values as possible, while the population grows and as the streams are more intensively used. The term "instream flows" has increasingly come to mean flows needed to support the fishery resource. These instream values are being protected by a number of official and informal programs. Each of the land use agencies participating in the task force have goals policies, and regulations to protect the integrity of flow in the streams and their banks. Several state agencies also have detailed plans and guidelines to protect the quantity and quality of flow in local streams. The scope of this task calls for determining the instream allowances needed for general water supply planning purposes, including provisions for recharging developed or developable aquifirs.

A primary task of this project will include the development and adoption of an Interim Section 6217 (Federal Coastal Zone Management Act Reauthorization Amendments of 1990) Procedural Guidance Document for use by Commission staff, applicants, local governments and/or other relevant management agencies, which will offer specific interpretations of enforceable California Coastal Management Program policies that relate to nonpoint source pollution issues in Elkhorn Slough.

717. Farming Practices Survey for Elkhorn Slough Water Quality Project, Mountjoy, Daniel C.; Association of Monterey Bay Area Governments, (1992), Location: AMBAG Library.

This survey provides a detailed examination of the farming conditions within the Elkhorn Slough watershed. The study is not intended to monitor soil erosion and transport processes, but instead to identify the current erosion control practices and examine the social and economic factors which have resulted in this particular mix of management strategies. The study focuses on strawberry production within the watershed since strawberries are the most extensively grown crop on the steep, erosion prone hillsides. The boundary for this project was defined as the entire Elkhorn and Moro Cojo Slough watersheds, an area of approximatley 57,000 acres or 89 square miles. Moro Cojo was included in this study area since runoff from this watershed empties out into the mouth of Elkhorn Slough at Moss Landing and tidal action can push water and suspended material back up into Elkhorn Slough. The goals of the study were to (1) identify farm types that are most likely to contribute to water quality problems, (2) assess the importance of economic factors in explaining the adoption of erosion control practices, (3) determine the growers awareness of water quality and soil erosion problems; appraise the willingness to modify existing management practises, (4) identify existing information channels which growers use to make management decisions, (5) select Best Management Practises which are most appropriate to the economic and social constraints of the target group, and (6) design an outreach program to promote selected BMPs using existing communications network.
