APPENDIX 18

Water Quality Monitoring Plan

Water Quality Monitoring Plan Maintenance Dredging of the Richmond Inner and Outer Harbor

Federal Navigation Channel

Beginning 1 June 2015

Constituents Monitored:

The Richmond Inner and Outer Harbor Federal Navigation Channel FY15 Dredging Project requires the following water quality monitoring program pursuant to Water Quality Certification (WQC) Order No. R2-

2015-0023 for the 2015-2019 Maintenance Dredging Program:

Aquatic life turbidity applicable criteria:

Turbidity ≤ 50 NTU (or up to 10 percent greater than turbidity at a background reference location sampled concurrently with the dredging location, if the background turbidity is greater than 50 NTU).

o Turbidity readings “visible turbidity anywhere past the 500 foot point of compliance from the activity and/or the disposal location shall be considered to be an exceedence of the standard.”

o Dissolved oxygen ≥ 5.0 mg/L (≥ 7.0 mg/L east of the Carquinez Bridge).

o 6.5 ≤ pH ≤ 8.5

Frequency of Monitoring:

The Contractor’s dredging equipment shall be operating for at least one hour prior to the collection of turbidity readings to ensure readings and observations are representative of turbidity conditions during active operations.

The Contractor’s turbidity monitoring will correspond with; 1) slack tide and 2) strong ebb or flood tidal conditions to the extent these times adequately reflect periods of active dredging and occur during daylight hours.

The Contractor shall monitoring both instrument measured and visually for turbidity daily during daylight hours only:

o Take and record readings every 10 minutes at one (1) up-current and three (3) down-current locations the first five (5) consecutive days of dredging, assuming no exceedence.

o Record (written and photographic) visible turbidity down-current of the point of compliance recorded at each reading collected at the point of compliance the first five (5) consecutive days of dredging, assuming no exceedence.

o Take record readings once a day along a transect across the navigation channel at the point of compliance the first five (5) consecutive days of dredging, assuming no exceedence.

o Record (written) visible turbidity within the disposal area at every disposal action during daylight hours the first five (5) consecutive days of dredging, assuming no exceedence.

o No monitoring shall occur before sunrise or after sunset unless authorized by the Corps.

Upon completion of the five (5) consecutive monitoring days, the Contractor shall send the monitoring data report to the Corps within 24 hours of completion of monitoring activity.

o If there are no exceedence in turbidity within the five (5) consecutive days, the Contractor shall discontinue instrument monitoring, unless otherwise directed by the Corps o If there are exceedence in turbidity within the five (5) consecutive days, the Contractor shall continue monitoring following the steps listed in “Exceedence and Exceedence Protocol.”

The Contractor shall continue to monitor and record (written) daily visual monitoring at the Point of

Compliance every day the dredge is in operation. At any point, if visual monitoring indicates an exceedence, the Contractor shall take a physical reading to confirm/verify if an exceedence has occurred. If an exceedence is confirmed/verified through physical monitoring, the exceedence protocol listed below shall be followed.

Sampling Approach:

The Contractor shall establish turbidity conditions according to the following:

o The Contractor shall measure turbidity using a turbidity meter (HydroLab or similar), starting at least one hour after the dredging equipment has been operating, to ensure readings and observations are reflective of turbidity conditions during active operations.

o The Contractor shall verify the calibration of the turbidity meter and calibrate as necessary with standardized samples prior to the start of each day’s monitoring, per the manufacturer’s specifications.

o The Contractor shall collect turbidity readings within the water strata:

• near the surface (~ 2 feet below)

• mid-depth

• near the bottom (~2 feet above)

The Contractor shall compare turbidity readings taken at the point of compliance to background levels within the water column strata (i.e., surface level at points of compliance compared to surface level at background stations) to determine compliance with turbidity standards.

The Contractor shall visually observe turbidity beyond the point of compliance and record the findings at the same time the turbidity levels are measured.

The Contractor shall visually observe turbidity within the disposal area and record the findings every disposal action during daylight hours.

Monitoring Locations:

The area of mixing point of compliance for turbidity during clamshell dredging is 600500 feet down current from the point of clamshell dredging and thus will move as the dredging progresses.

The Contractor shall establish Monitoring Points at:

o Measured Background: A minimum of 200 feet up current from the dredging o Measured Downstream Early Warning – 300 feet down current of the dredging o Measured Downstream Point of Compliance – 600500 feet down current of the dredging o Measured Downstream Proposed Point of Compliance – 1,200 feet down current of the dredging o Visual Downstream Point of Compliance - visual turbidity observed beyond 600 feet down current of the dredging will be recorded at the same time the turbidity levels are measured

The Contractor shall establish channel transect Monitoring Points across the navigation channel located 600 feet down-current of the dredge. This transect shall be:

o Monitored once per day o Located at a minimum of three (3) points spaced roughly equidistant across the navigation channel o Collect three (3) readings within the water strata; 1) just below the surface (~ 2 feet below), 2) mid-depth, and 3) near the bottom (~2 feet above)

The Contractor shall observe and record visible turbidity within the disposal area for every disposal action during daylight hours.

Exceedence and Exceedence Protocol:

If measurements taken at the down current location show recorded turbidity is greater than 10 NTU over background where the background is less than 50 NTU, or if more than a 10 percent increase in turbidity when the background turbidity is more than 50 NTU, occurring at the outer limit of the area of mixing, or visual observations indicated exceedence either down-current of the Point of Compliance or in the disposal area, the Contractor shall notify the Corps within two (2) hours and, assuming dredging continues, shall continue to monitor per the exceedence protocol below:

o Step 1: Verification of the problem

• If monitoring indicates an exceedence in turbidity levels, the Contractor shall immediately collect another series of readings (~ 2 feet below), mid-depth, and near the bottom (~2 feet above) in the same location.

• If the exceedence still exists, the Contractor shall photograph conditions at the point of compliance and then collect another series of readings at the nearest upstream background station to determine if the exceedence is caused by the dredging and disposal or by a change in background conditions

(for example due to a heavy rainfall event).

• The Contractor shall notify the Corps by telephone within two (2) hours after there has been a measured exceedence.

• The Corps will direct the Contractor to implement best management practices (BMPs), as appropriate and applicable, to reduce turbidity. Example BMPs include, but not limited to:

Check the seal on the bucket, remove any obstructions, repair/replace bucket if point of closure does not fully close

Do not overfill bucket – only fill to bucket’s capacity

Slow speed of lifts from bottom to surface and swing from surface to barge

Do not allow water in barge to excessively overtop

• In the event of exceedence such that dredging is temporarily stopped by the Contracting Officer during the five (5) consecutive days of monitoring, the Corps will consult with the San Francisco

Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) to determine the number of additional days monitoring will be required with no exceedence in order to terminate monitoring.

o Step 2: Increased monitoring

• The Contractor shall collect another reading no more than one (1) hour after the exceedence is recorded to verify the dredging operation has been altered to reduce the exceedence to within acceptable limits.

• If the second reading, taken 1 hour later, still shows an exceedence, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Corps by telephone that there is still a measured exceedence.

• The Corps will again direct the Contractor of the situation and require the Contractor take all measures possible to reduce turbidity.

• Finally, the Contractor shall collect a third reading and will be taken no more than two (2) hours after the first exceedence is recorded.

• Contractor shall notify Corps that a reportable exceedence occurred and provide documentation from the incident to the Corps to forward to the RWQCB.

o Step 3: Stop dredging or disposal

• If the third reading, taken two (2) hours later, still shows an exceedence, the Contractor shall notify the Corp immediately. The Contracting Officer may order the Contractor to stop dredging. The

Corps will notify the RWQCB of the situation.

o Step 4: Continued sampling until compliance is achieved

• After the Contractor has stopped dredging, the Contractor shall collect readings at hourly intervals until turbidity levels return to background.

• Once compliance has again been achieved, the Contracting Officer will order the Contractor to resume dredging.

• The Corps will provide monitoring data to the RWQCB and notify the RWQCB that dredging has resumed.

• Once compliance has been achieved, the RWQCB will require the restart of the 5 consecutive days of turbidity monitoring required above, which shall become the responsibility of the

Contractor.

• The Contractor shall resume the normal schedule of turbidity monitoring as per specific requirements above until directed by the Corps to cease monitoring.

Reporting:

The Corps will report exceedence and/or dredging shut downs to the RWQCB by telephone and email as soon as is practicable.

The Contractor shall document any dredging shut downs with an Incident Report which will be transmitted to the Corp by email and through the QCS/RMS system within 24 hours of the exceedence.

The Incident Report shall document all exceedence and will include the date, time, location, activity, turbidity data collected, name of person collecting the data, names of persons notified of the exceedence, photographs if taken, and summary of how the exceedence was resolved following the above protocol.

The RWQCB will require the restart of the 5 consecutive days of physical turbidity monitoring, which shall be the responsibility of the Contractor, until compliance is achieved.

Within 60 days of termination of the dredging and disposal activities, the Corps will submit the turbidity monitoring data and a summary report to the RWQCB.

Responsibility and Communication Plan:

The Corps will oversee turbidity monitoring conducted by the Contractor.

The Corps will be responsible for coordinating with the RWQCB and submitting the Turbidity Monitoring

Reports and data provided by the Contractor.

The Corps will notify the RWQCB within 24 hours if an exceedence occurs.

The Corps will coordinate with the dredging Contractor.

The Contractor shall provide Turbidity Monitoring Report and data to the Corps, as directed.

The Contractor shall notify the Corps within 2 hours if an exceedence occurs.

The Corps Points of Contact for turbidity monitoring will be Chris Eng, Environmental Sciences (415-503-

6868), and Roxie Grillo, Environmental Sciences (415-503-6859).

The Corps anticipates the RWQCB and the Contractor will similarly supply the Corps with their Point of

Contacts for the project.
