To determine BPTC, monitoring and data comparison is necessary upgradient and downgradient of points of control, i.e., where measures are implemented in the field. Because of the reliance on current management practices and because only regional monitoring is to be used, Alternative 1would not result in measureable improvement to water quaAlternative 2, which includes some groundwater management prdemonstrably reduce contaminant loads and improve water quality. The groundwater management practices include only token wellhead protection measures involve only the placement of dirt in berms adjacent to the wellhead to prevent movement of surface water to the wellhead. These minor improvements are already required under Title 3, California Code of Regulations Division pesticides are mixed, rinsed and stored. s/emon/grndwtr/gwregsinfo0702.pdf) Implementation of these measures more broadly, i.e., at all farms, is not likely to result in significant water quality gains because the berms would only marginally protect against pesticide and nitrate transport in stormwater in the areas where wellheads are address subsurface transport of pesticides and nitrates. No farm-scale monitoring requirements are indetermination of BPTC is not possible. Because only token wellhead protection measures are to be undertaken, Alternativmeasureable water quality improvements and may be just as likely to result in water Alternative 3 requires farm plans that use concerns. This alternative is an improvement and may result in some gains in water quality; however, because no surface water or groundwater monitoring is required, the implementation of this alternative would not result in measureable improvement to water not allow for BPTC determinations. Alternative 4 provides for nutrient management and regional or individual monitoring under a tiered hierarchy. Whereas use of tiering is acceptable in determining the intensity of monitoring, the option to participate in regional scale monitoring would not allow for the determination of BMP effectiveness nor BPTC.

water and groundwater monitoring at individual farms and would likely be most protective of water quality. Because discharger-scale monitoring evaluated and a determination of BPTC could be made. As monitoring data from BMPs are evaluated, BPTC can be determined The monitoring under this alternative, however, is duplicitous and overly burdensome. Instead, use of a tiering scheme (i.e., to reduce monitoring at low risk farms in low risk environments) would reduce costs as would better coordination between farms in fulfilling monitoring requirements. For example, if groundwater wells were to be ng at neighboring farms could farm’s downgradient well serving as the adjacent farm’s upgradient location. Alternative 5, while inefficient, would result in the greatest potential for water quality gains because of the monitoring that would be required at farms. , a quantitative estimate of the contaminant loads to surface water and groundwater needs to be integrated Program Description. Additionally, consideration of each alternative’s capability to meet BPTC needs to be incorporated into Chaptescale that allows for the determination of BPTC. Cumulative Impacts on Downstream Ecologic Receptors are not Assessed The PEIR fails to consider cumulative impacts of the alternatives on ecologic receptors the Central Valley, namely the Delta and the San Francisco Bay and Estuary. Wildlife in example, special-status fish species such as the Delta Smelt and anadromous fish such as y, contaminant loading of pesticides and nutrients to upstream waters impacts habitat for these fish and their prey yet no ecies is given in Section 6, Cumulative and Growth-Inducing Impacts. The PEIR states only in Chapter 6: Because many of the existing effects discussed in the section “EImpaired Water Quality on Fish” are cumulative, it is difficult to determine the ources. For example, low DO in the Stockton Deepwater Ship Channel is a result of contamination from upstream ltural runoff) and discharges from the Stockton sewage treatment plant (Lehmaparks and the resultant contaminant runoff also cumulatively contribute to impacts This level of analysis is insufficient and provides no basis for comparison of the cumulative impacts that would result from the fiwritten to estimate and incorporate contaminant loads from agricultural practices on irrigated lands to both surface water and groundwater under each alternative. The contaminant loads should be compared to other contaminant loads to predict cumulative impacts from Central Valley irrigated agriCumulative effects are essential to consider, given the impdownstream ecologic receptors. For example, pelagic organisms such as the delta smelt are in decline in the upper San Francisco Estuary. The decline is not only because of direct smelt mortality from entrainment at pump intakes but also because of exposure of smelt and smelt prey to toxics and nitrogen. om/releases/2010/05/100517161144.htm ater_issues/programs/bay_delta/pelagic_org anism/docs/pod_ieppodmt_2007synthesis_011508.pdf contaminants, including pesticides, have been linked to the decline Upper Sacramento River om/releases/2008/12/081209100940.htm.
