Copper Sources and Management
Strategies Clearinghouse
To satisfy CB-15 of the Copper
Action Plan, the Program has developed a prototype web based
clearinghouse entitled Copper
Sources and Management Strategies Clearinghouse. The clearinghouse
describes fifteen copper sources and provides information on
potential control measures for POTWs and stormwater programs.
It is intended to be a complementary resource to, the BACWA
"Pollution Prevention Guidance and Tools for POTWs"
project and the Clean Estuary Partnership "Copper Sources
in Urban Runoff and Shoreline Activities" report. The website
has been designed as a bay-wide resource.
Copper in San Francisco Bay:
Resources to Reduce Scientific Uncertainties
The South Bay Impairment Assessment
Report and Conceptual Model Report identified several technical
uncertainties associated with the conclusion that it was "unlikely"
that the Lower South Bay is impaired by copper. Most of these
uncertainties apply to issues and phenomena that exist bay-wide
(i.e., copper speciation and sediment toxicity). To satisfy
CB-17(1) of the Copper Action Plan, a prototype website entitled
Copper in San Francisco
Bay: Resources to Reduce Scientific Uncertainties was developed
that groups the uncertainties into six general topics and provides
links to documents and other sites with applicable information.
The intent is to use the site as a vehicle for keeping track
of new information bearing on the identified scientific uncertainties
and on any newly identified uncertainties. This website has
also been designed as a bay-wide resource.
