TOXICITY TESTING |
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
Data used to evaluate sediment toxicity comprise one sediment sample collected by the SWAMP in April 2003. The sample displayed statistically significant toxicity during the 10-day Hyalella azteca test. It caused mortality (70.7%) and exhibited diminished growth at 56.6% of control. |

|
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. |
Objective/Criterion Reference: |
Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) - San Francisco Bay Region (Region 2) |
|
Evaluation Guideline: |
Sediment toxicity was evaluated according to the SWAMP methodology. Sample toxicity was determined by comparing mean organism response in samples and in negative controls. Statistical evaluation (alpha = 0.05) and a default threshold of 80% of the control value were used to establish whether the sediment exhibited significant toxicity adversely impacting aquatic organisms. |

TOXICITY TESTING |
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
Four samples were collected in 2003 to evaluate water toxicity at two monitoring locations at the mouth of Mount Diablo Creek and at Mitchell Canyon, the upstream tributary. The toxicity tests included survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia, survival and growth of fathead minnow, and growth of Selenastrum.
Statistically significant chronic effects on Ceriodaphnia reproduction were observed in 2 out of 4 samples collected at both locations during winter wet season. In addition, one sample caused significant mortality and another caused a decrease in growth in fathead minnow. Selenastrum growth was also significantly reduced in one sample collected during winter wet season. |

|
Evaluation Guideline: |
The California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) is a biological scoring tool that helps aquatic resource managers translate complex data about benthic macroinvertebrates found living in a stream into an overall measure of stream health. The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rehn, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition. Sites with scores below 0.79 are considered to have exceeded the water quality objective for the aquatic life beneficial use. |

TOXICITY TESTING |
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
Four samples were collected in 2003 to evaluate water toxicity at two monitoring locations at the mouth of Mount Diablo Creek and at Mitchell Canyon, the upstream tributary. The toxicity tests included survival and reproduction of Ceriodaphnia, survival and growth of fathead minnow, and growth of Selenastrum.
Statistically significant chronic effects on Ceriodaphnia reproduction were observed in 2 out of 4 samples collected at both locations during winter wet season. In addition, one sample caused significant mortality and another caused a decrease in growth in fathead minnow. Selenastrum growth was also significantly reduced in one sample collected during winter wet season. |

|
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances that are lethal to or that produce other detrimental responses in aquatic organisms.
There shall be no chronic toxicity in ambient waters. Chronic toxicity is a detrimental biological effect on growth rate, reproduction, fertilization success, larval development, population abundance, community composition, or any other relevant measure of the health of an organism, population, or community. |
Objective/Criterion Reference: |
Water Quality Control Plan (Basin Plan) - San Francisco Bay Region (Region 2) |
|
Evaluation Guideline: |
Water toxicity was evaluated according to the SWAMP methodology. The U.S.EPA whole effluent toxicity protocol (U.S.EPA 1994) was used to test the effect of water samples on three freshwater test organisms. Statistical evaluation (alpha = 0.05) and a default threshold of 80% of the control value were used to establish whether water exhibited significant toxicity adversely impacting aquatic organisms. |

Spatial Representation: |
Data were collected at one sampling location, MTD010, on two (2) occasions, representative of the lower reach of the creek. Data were collected at one sampling location, MTD100, on two occasions, representative of the upstream tributary. |
Temporal Representation: |
SWAMP samples were collected during winter wet season (January) and spring season (April) of 2003. |

Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
All waters shall be maintained free of toxic substances in concentrations that are lethal to or that produce significant alterations in population or community ecology or receiving water biota. In addition, the health and life history characteristics of aquatic organisms in waters affected by controllable water quality factors shall not differ significantly from those for the same waters in areas unaffected by controllable water quality factors. |

|
Evaluation Guideline: |
The California Stream Condition Index (CSCI) is a biological scoring tool that helps aquatic resource managers translate complex data about benthic macroinvertebrates found living in a stream into an overall measure of stream health. The CSCI score is calculated by comparing the expected condition with actual (observed) results (Rehn, A.C. et al., 2015). CSCI scores range from 0 (highly degraded) to greater than 1 (equivalent to reference). CSCI scoring of biological condition are as follows (per the scientific paper supporting the development of the CSCI scoring tool): greater than or equal to 0.92 = likely intact condition, 0.91 to 0.80 = possibly altered condition, 0.79 to 0.63 = likely altered condition, less than or equal to 0.62 = very likely altered condition. Sites with scores below 0.79 are considered to have exceeded the water quality objective for the aquatic life beneficial use. |

|
Spatial Representation: |
Dissolved oxygen was measured at eight sites. Four of these sites were located on the mainstem of Mt. Diablo Creek, and the remainder were tributary creek measurements. |
Temporal Representation: |
The SWAMP Program performed continuous monitoring of dissolved oxygen at 15 minute intervals for periods of 1-2 weeks in each of three different seasons in 2003: winter, spring , and summer. |
Environmental Conditions: |
The Mt. Diablo Creek watershed is heavily urbanized throughout most of the lower and middle watershed. Flow in the Mt. Diablo Creek watershed is mostly intermittent with dry creeks in the summer. Some creeks are fed by runoff from residential and golf course watering, and pools remain through the summer in upstream portions of tributary, Mitchell Creek. |
QAPP Information: |
All samples were collected and analyzed using procedures comparable with the SWAMP Quality Assurance Management Plan (SWRCB 2002). |

Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
Water quality assessment was conducted at the Mt. Diablo Creek watershed as part of SWAMP study in 2003-2004. Continuous field monitoring at 15 minute increments of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH and specific conductance was conducted to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at three locations. Continuous monitoring sondes were deployed 10 times at monitoring locations during wet, spring and one dry seasons. The measured temperatures ranged from 9.4°C to 25.40°C and varied with season. During the summer season deployments at all three monitoring locations, the 7-day mean temperature threshold for steelhead was exceeded. In total, the 17 °C criterion was exceeded in 3 out of 10 deployments for steelhead. |

Water Quality Objective/Criterion: |
Temperature objectives for enclosed bays and estuaries are specified in the "Water Quality Control Plan for Control of Temperature in the Coastal and Interstate Waters and Enclosed Bays of California" including any revisions to the plan. In addition, the following temperature objectives apply to surface waters: The natural receiving water temperature of intrastate waters shall not be altered unless it can be demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Regional Board that such an alteration does not adversely affect beneficial uses. The temperature of any cold or warm freshwater habitat shall not be increased by more than 5°F (2.8°C) above natural receiving water temperature. |
Objective/Criterion Reference: |

|
Evaluation Guideline: |
Sullivan et al. (2000) reviewed a wide range of studies incorporating information from laboratory-based research, field observations, and risk assessment approaches and developed criteria for assessing temperature risk to aquatic life. The 7-day mean temperature (maximum value of a 7-day moving average of the daily mean temperature) of 14.8°C was established as the upper threshold criterion for coho salmon and 17.0°C for steelhead trout. The risk assessment approach used by Sullivan et al. (2000) suggests that temperatures exceeding the above thresholds will cause a 10% reduction in average growth compared to optimal conditions. |

PHYSICAL/CHEMICAL MONITORING |
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: |
Comprehensive water quality assessment was conducted at Mt Diablo Creek watershed as part of SWAMP assessment in 2003 and 2004. Continuous field monitoring of temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and specific conductance to determine temporal variability in basic water quality at three or four locations, throughout Mt Diablo Creek, ranging from 1-15 days. The pH ranged from 6.87 to 8.62 and varied with season. There was only one exceedence of the upper pH threshold. |
