| Data Used to Assess Water Quality: | Eight samples were collected and analyzed for Cadmium. But of the 8 samples, 4 were reported as non detect and the detection limit was above the criteria. So only the remaining 4 samples that had a detection limit below the criteria were used for the assessment. Of the 4 samples taken, none exceeded the CTR criteria listed above. This data was obtained from the self monitoring reports submitted by San Bernardino County Flood Control District Storm Water Program. The cadmium data was reported as total recoverable. In order to compare it to a dissolved metals acute criterion, the concentrations reported were multiplied by a total to dissolved ratio of 2.6 that is site specific for the Santa Ana River and its tributaries. A direct comparison of the data without this adjustment would have resulted in several exceedances resulting in the unnecessary need to list this waterbody for cadmium. |

This data was obtained from the self monitoring reports submitted by San Bernardino County Flood Control District Storm Water Program. The cadmium data was reported as total recoverable. In order to compare it to a dissolved metals acute criterion, the concentrations reported were multiplied by a total to dissolved ratio of 2.6 that is site specific for the Santa Ana River and its tributaries. A direct comparison of the data without this adjustment would have resulted in several exceedances resulting in the unnecessary need to list this waterbody for cadmium. |
