Line of Evidence (LOE) for Decision ID 19154, Mercury
Region 2     
Del Valle Reservoir
 
LOE ID: 677
 
Pollutant: Mercury
LOE Subgroup: Pollutant-Tissue
Matrix: Tissue
Fraction: Total
 
Beneficial Use: Commercial or recreational collection of fish, shellfish, or organisms
 
Number of Samples: 12
Number of Exceedances: 4
 
Data and Information Type: Fish tissue analysis
Data Used to Assess Water Quality: Four out of 12 samples exceeded. A total of 12 composite samples were collected and analyzed from Del Valle Reservoir - 3 bluegill, 3 channel catfish, 3 largemouth bass, and 3 redear sunfish. One catfish and all three largemouth bass samples exceeded the Hg guideline (TSMP, 2002).
Data Reference: Placeholder reference 2006 303(d)
 
SWAMP Data: Non-SWAMP
 
Water Quality Objective/Criterion: San Francisco Bay RWQCB Basin Plan: Many pollutants can accumulate on particles, in sediment, or bioaccumulate in fish and other aquatic organisms. Controllable water quality factors shall not cause a detrimental increase in concentrations of toxic substances found in bottom sediments or aquatic life. Effects on aquatic organisms, wildlife, and human health will be considered.
Objective/Criterion Reference: Placeholder reference 2006 303(d)
 
Evaluation Guideline: OEHHA Screening Value of 0.3 ug/g for mercury (Brodberg and Pollock, 1999).
Guideline Reference: Placeholder reference 2006 303(d)
 
Spatial Representation: One station located in upper end of reservoir south of boat ramp.
Temporal Representation: All samples were collected on 4/25/2001.
