1 State of the San Lorenzo River Symposium Saturday, April 11, 2015 Greg Pepping, Executive Director Coastal Watershed Council
2 Coastal Watershed Council Santa Cruz-based 501(c)(3) Established 1995 Science-based organization Mission is to preserve and protect coastal watersheds through community stewardship, education and monitoring Funded by federal and private foundation grants, technical service contracts with city and county agencies, and donations from businesses, individuals and clubs/civic organizations
3 3 Programs to Achieve Mission: Stewardship Education Monitoring Most known for monitoring
4 Water Quality Monitoring: Objectives 1) Develop scientifically valid data on water quality; follow EPA & SWRCB QAPPs 2) Educate and engage the public to care and learn about water quality issues
5 Citizen Science Defined by Wikipedia: scientific work undertaken by members of the general public, often in collaboration with or under the direction of professional scientists and scientific institutions.
6 Citizen Science Opportunities First Flush: Tests rainfall runoff of the first rain of the fall season Urban Watch: Monitors water quality during the dry summer months Snapshot Day: Monitors sites in 4 counties on the 1 st Saturday of May each year: Saturday, May 2, 2015 ALBA Carneros Creek: Assessment of organic farming practices & wetland restoration Volunteers testing water during First Flush
7 Monitoring Test storm drains and stream sites for the following: Detergents Nitrate, phosphate, ammonia, urea Metals: Copper, Lead, Zinc Chlorine ph Dissolved oxygen Bacteria indicators Oil sheen Odor & color Volunteers with testing kits

14 Guiding Questions: What is the level of human bacterial contamination in the lower San Lorenzo River? What are the key sources of human bacterial contamination in the lower San Lorenzo River?
15 Guiding Questions: What is the level of human bacterial contamination in the lower San Lorenzo River? What are the key sources of human bacterial contamination in the lower San Lorenzo River?
16 When? Dry season Tidal influences avoided Early in the day 2014 DATES Wednesday, May 21, 10 am start Thursday, June 19, 10 am start Thursday, July 17, 9 am start Monday, August 18, 10 am start Monday, September 15, 10 am start Wednesday, October 15, 10 am start

23 Caffeine Indicator of human contribution ELISA test (detects antibodies) Used by City of Santa Cruz Wastewater Treatment Lab Very low detection limit Results: 0 of 36 samples in this study showed any caffeine
24 Human bacteriodes DNA County Environmental Health Lab 3 of the 36 samples detected quantifiable levels of human bacteriodes Consistent with a 2003 study by the County, showing most of the bacteria load in the SLR was from birds
25 Multiple Lines of Evidence FIB Fecal sterols Caffeine Bacteriodes FIB Fecal sterols Caffeine Bacteriodes Human Nonspecific 2/72 0/36 3/36 Human Nonspecific 2/72 0/36 3/36 Birds Birds Nonspecific Nonspecific 32/36 32/36 Nonspecific Nonspecific N/A N/A Take-away Take-away B40 u/s of SLR & Carbonera u/s of B40 B40 u/s of SLR & Carbonera u/s of B40 Weak indication of human fecal at Sycamore Grove; Strong No indication of indication of avian everywhere human BUT Sycamore Grove contribution Weak indication of human fecal at Sycamore Grove; Strong indication of avian everywhere BUT Sycamore Grove Carbonera Creek is main human site No indication of human contribution Carbonera Creek is main human site
26 Next Steps Repeat in a non-drought year (not 2015) Continue with source identification & prioritization process Evaluate whether TMDL numeric targets and allocations could be reconsidered Reduce & eliminate human sources of pathogens from the San Lorenzo
