WQ: Diazinon in Upper Petaluma River Watershed 1998 |
|
Caption: Water quality monitoring was conducted in the upper Petaluma River watershed during 1998 to determine diazinon and chlorpyrifos concentrations during dry and storm events. This graph shows diazinon concentrations at several stations during four sampling events. The reference values shown in the graph represent proposed Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) numeric targets for diazinon in San Francisco Bay Area urban creeks, which state that the four-day and one-hour average concentrations in freshwater shall not exceed 50 ng/L and 80 ng/L, respectively, more than once every three years on the average (SFBRWQCB, 2002). Note that measurements below 30 ng/L should be considered "non-detect." All samples collected from the Lower Petaluma River station and individual samples collected from the Washington and Thompson Creek stations would be considered saltwater based on electrical conductivity measurements. See Info Links for more information and Picture for a map of the sampling locations. Data were collected by Petaluma Tree Planters.
