ILRP Water Quality monitoring schedules for the UFRWG under Sacramento Valley Water Quality
Coalition's Monitoring and Reporting Program Plan consists of rotational sampling schedules. The
schedule of water quality parameters is watershed specific based on local agriculture practices, pesticide
use reports and baseline data.
*** Assessment Year monitoring consists of broader sampling parameters including toxicity, metals and
pesticides in addition to the basic Core Year field parameters, and lab parameters of fecal choliform,
turbidity, and organic carbon
*** Core Year monitoring consists of limited parameters as determined by third year Assessment Monitoring
2009 Core Year Monitoring
2010 Core Year Monitoring
2011 Assessment Year Monitoring
In April 2010, a request by UFRWG for a reduction from three monitoring sites to one representative
monitoring site was approved by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. The Middle Fork Feather RIver site
was selected as the representative site because it is downstream of the largest agriculture valley with the most
irrigated acreage, and represents both grazing and alfalfa hay pivot operations.
