SWAMP Data: |
Non-SWAMP |
|
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations which are toxic to, or which produce detrimental physiological responses in, human, plant, animal, or aquatic life. Compliance with this objective will be determined by use of indicator organisms, analyses of species diversity, population density, growth anomalies, toxicity bioassays of appropriate duration, or other appropriate methods as specified by the Regional Board (Water Quality Control Plan, Central Coast Basin, Chapter III, Section II.A.2 Objectives for all Inland Surface Waters, Enclosed Bays and Estuaries). |
Objective/Criterion Reference: |
Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) - Central Coast Region (Region 3) |
|
Evaluation Guideline: |
Significant reduction of survival of test organism relative to the control (alpha < 0.05) and test organism survival is 20% less than the control survival. |

Spatial Representation: |
Data for this line of evidence for Warden Creek was collected at 1 monitoring site [ 310WRP - Warden Creek, above Los Osos Creek] |
Temporal Representation: |
Data was collected over the time period 2/24/2006-9/27/2006. Cooperative Monitoring Program (CMP) staff conduct monitoring for conventional pollutants at all Ag Waiver monitoring sites monthly. CMP staff also conduct water toxicity monitoring quarterly and sediment toxicity monitoring annually (in spring). |
Environmental Conditions: |
Staff is not aware of any special conditions that might effect interpretation of the data. |
QAPP Information: |
All data was collected following the Standard Operating Procedures and Data Quality Objectives outlined in the Cooperative Monitoring Program QAPP, (Clark and Ogle 2006). QA data are included in submission. All data are flagged as appropriate. |

Spatial Representation: |
Data for this line of evidence for Warden Creek was collected at 1 monitoring site [ 310TUR-Warden Creek at Turi Road] |
Temporal Representation: |
Data was collected over the time period 2/14/2002-3/4/2003. Santa Lucia Coast is one of five annual rotation areas that are monitored for conventional pollutants by CCAMP staff monthly for one year. |
Environmental Conditions: |
Staff is not aware of any special conditions that might effect interpretation of the data. |
QAPP Information: |
All data was collected following the Standard Operating Procedures and Data Quality Objectives outlined in the SWAMP QAMP, (Puckett, 2002). QA data are included in submission. All data are flagged as appropriate. |
