This link provides the most current version of the Delta Methylmercury TMDL Stakeholder Group’s Adaptive Management Plan for Implementing the Delta Methylmercury Control Program, June 22, 2010, Working Draft. This version is current with the approved Basin Plan Amendment; nonetheless, the document still contains some placeholders. Stakeholders, representing irrigated agriculture, managed wetlands, wastewater treatment plants, municipal stormwater, environmental advocates, environmental justice advocates, community-based organizations, Central Valley Water Board staff, and State and federal agencies, were involved in a collaborative stakeholder process that contributed to the development of the Delta Mercury Control Program. This Adaptive Management Plan contains concepts underlying the cooperative development of the TMDL and describes how stakeholders intend to develop and implement Phase 1 requirements. - Nonpoint Source Workgroup:
The Nonpoint sources workgroup has received 319(h) planning grant funds to develop methylmercury control study work plans for wetlands and irrigated agricultural sources in the Delta. To join the workgroup's listserv, please contact the facilitator Dr. Stephen McCord (sam@mccenv.com, 530-220-3165). - NPDES Workgroup Meetings:
The Central Valley Clean Water Association (CVCWA) is leading NPDES dischargers of municipal wastewater to develop a methylmercury control study work plan for publicly-owned treatment works in and upstream of the Delta.
