WQ: Fecal Coliform in Olema Creek 1999-2001 |
|
Caption: Water quality parameters were measured by Point Reyes National Seashore in small tributaries of Lagunitas Creek, as well as in a large tributary, Olema Creek and its watershed from 1999-2001. The graph above shows fecal coliform data for the Olema Creek watershed. Highest values are at OLM4 below the town of Olema and OLM2. Note that the maximum values for both, as well as the 90 percentile value for the latter of these stations were above 60,000 MPN/100 ml and therefore do not appear on the graph (see Chart Table for values). The proposed San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board (SFRWQCB) Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for fecal coliform are median <14 MPN/100 ml for Tomales Bay and log mean <200 MPN/100 ml for its tributaries based on a minimum of no less than five samples equally spaced over a 30-day period. The proposed maximum values are 43 and 400 MPN/100 ml for Tomales Bay and its tributaries, respectively, with no more than 10% of total samples during any 30-day period exceeding these numbers (CRWQCB, 2002). See Map for sampling locations and Info Links for more information.
