1. Drinking Water Quality Program Prepared for the Prop 13 Applicant Workshops January 2002

2. Geographic Scope of Problem/Solution Areas Sacramento Sacramento River Suisun Marsh San Joaquin River Geographic Scope of Problem Identification Stockton Geographic Scope of Solution

3. Program Goal for Water Quality To improve the quality of the waters of the Sacramento - San Joaquin Delta Estuary for all beneficial uses, including domestic, industrial, agricultural, recreation, and aquatic habitat.

4. Drinking Water Quality Program Objectives To continuously improve source water quality that allows municipal water suppliers to deliver safe, reliable, and affordable drinking that meets and, where feasible, is better than applicable drinking water standards.

5. Integrate protection of and improvements in Bay-Delta drinking water quality across all federal and State agencies, from source to tap source water protection water management treatment and distribution DWQP Focus

6. Pollutants of Concern Drinking Water Quality Pathogens Organic Carbon Bromide Salinity/Total Dissolved Solids Turbidity Nutrients Taste and odor

7. CALFED Drinking Water Quality Targets 50 µg/L bromide and 3.0 mg/L total organic carbon at South Delta intakes -or- an “equivalent level of public health protection”

8. Source Control Agricultural Drainage in the Delta and San Joaquin Valley North Bay Aqueduct Control Runoff into Conveyances Treatment Technology Record of Decision Commitments for DWQP • Operational Improvements • Public Health Effects • Bay Area Blending/Exchange • Alternative Sources for So. Calif. • Delta Drinking Water Council

9. Reduce pathogens, organic carbon, salinity, sediment, and nutrient loads through source control, treatment, water management, and appropriate land fallowing and/or land retirement. Reduce pathogen loading from confined animal facility operations Objectives - San Joaquin River, Delta and tributaries

10. Reduce TOC through control of algae, aquatic weeds, agricultural runoff, urban runoff, and through watershed improvements. Promote sediment reduction in agricultural, construction, and urban areas. Objectives - Entire Bay-Delta Solution Area

11. Public Health Protection Good Science Partnerships Community Involvement Environmental Justice Proposal Solicitation Themes
