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.

The USGS feels that the Santa Margarita Sandstone sub-area should be closely monitored, as well as the Purisma sub-area.

215. Salinas Valley Seawater Intrusion Program: Castroville Irrigation Water Supply Project and Water Reclamation Facility for Crop Irrigation Project, Jones & Stokes and Associates Inc., (1993), Location: UCB WRCA G4682 N-1 FINAL.

This section summarizes the contents of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and includes a history and purpose for the Salinas Valley Seawater Intrusion Program. Also included is a brief description of the proposed program as modified (Castroville Irrigation Water Supply Project and the Water Reclamation Facility for Crop Irrigation Project), its alternatives, summary of impacts and mitigation measures, and other conclusions required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). A more detailed summary of the program background, characteristics of the groundwater basin, and scoping process are contained in the summary section of the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Statement (EIR/EIS), which is an appendix of this Final EIS.

216. Analysis of the Carmel Valley Alluvial Groundwater Basin, Monterey County, California, Kapple, Glenn W.; Mitten, Hugh T.; Durbin, Timothy J.; Johnson, Michael J., (1984), Location: UCB WRCA G76832 M4.

A two-dimensional, finite-element, digital model was developed for the Carmel Valley alluvial groundwater basin using measured, computed and estimated discharge and recharge data for the basin. The model is intended principally for simulation of flow conditions using monthly time steps.

217. Carmel Valley Groundwater Quality Evaluation (with Special Emphasis on Nitrate), K Squared Environmental, (1992), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

This water quality evaluation assesses the long-term trends in nitrate concentrations in the Carmel Valley aquifir and provides recommendations for continued monitoring and protection of the water supply. The evaluation focuses on the upper portions of the aquifir which extends from river mile 18 to the Narrows at river mile 9.

218. Salinas Valley Seawater Intrusion Study, Leedshill- Hirkenhoff Inc., (1985), Location: AMBAG Library.

The problem of seawater intrusion into the coastal aquifers of the Salinas Valley has been recognized for many years. The intrusion front extends along the coast about 10 miles from Moss Landing south to Fort Ord, and inland as much as five miles. This report addresses the causes of seawater intrusion, its effects, and alternative methods to slow or halt the intrusion. The study was sponsored by the Monterey County Flood Control and Water Conservation District and was funded in part by a grant from the State Water Resources Control Board through their 205(j) progam.

219. Reconnaissance of Alternatives for Recharging Seaside Aquifer, WWD Corporation; Logan, John, (1981), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

This study was performed at the reconnaissance level to develop six freshwater barrier schemes and five recharge schemes. The report includes a listing of recommended activities to develop an aquifir management plan.

220. Seaside Monitor Wells, Logan, John, (1981), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

Abstract currently not available.

221. Recharge of the Carmel Valley Aquifer: a Preliminary Assessment, Logan, John, (1982), Location: Monterey Peninsula Water Management District.

This report provides information on the rates at which the Carmel Valley aquifir is recharged when streamflow begins after the end of the main pumping season.

222. Well Evaluation Report Santa Cruz County - Pajaro Groundwater Protection Zone, Luhdorf and Scalmanni, (1983), Location: AMBAG Library.

This report examines the possibility that older, poorly constructed wells may be contributing to the saltwater intrusion problem by acting as conduits for inter aquifer flow between the upper and lower aquifer in the Pajaro Valley.

223. Scotts Valley Groundwater Basin Nitrate Pollution Study, Task 1 Report: Groundwater Design, Luhdorf and Scalmanni, (1984), Location: AMBAG Library.

This document discusses the design of a groundwater monitoring program, based on available geologic and hydrologic information, to incorporate and expand the existing network of data to identify the presence and movement of nitrates in both the saturated and unsaturated zones underneath Scotts Valley.

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
