Older stuff

Elkhorn Rd Coordinates as the mouth of Carneros watershed 36.856270 -121.754912

Spring 2011 TMDL Project: Who's doing what?

  • Work on this TMDL summary page (that the class created in 2009) TMDLs in the Monterey Bay Region of California
    1. Create table with existing TMDLs (AJ)
    2. Write the "Approaches to implementation" section (near the very bottom)(Kyle, Michele)
    3. Review and update all links as appropriate (Kathy, Ryan)
    4. Update regionally approved TMDL list (Kathy, Ryan)
  • Lower Salinas River Watershed Nutrient TMDL process Total Maximum Daily Load for Nutrients in Lower Salinas River Watershed, Monterey County, California(Shaelyn, Kathy, Natalie, Michele, Gabby, Roger)
    1. Link to this page from the main TMDL page
    2. Note that this TMDL hasn't appeared in draft form yet, as far as I know, so you'll need to state what information is available (under the same template headings as the other TMDL pages), and maybe even speculate or list possible options for things that have not been done yet (like an implementation plan). Of course, be clear what is approved, versus just studied, versus just an option, versus just speculation!
  • Work on the Ag Waiver wiki page Conditional waiver of waste discharge requirements for irrigated lands (Natalie, Rose, Gabby)
    1. Add a section to the Ag Waiver page called something like "Regulations included in the latest Draft Agricultural Order"
    2. Ideally, create some kind of comparison reference between the original Ag Order, and the various new drafts.

Spring 2011: Who's doing what?

Spring 2010: Updating the issues pages: who's doing what?

  1. DKN - Coho Salmon Crisis in the Central California Coast ESU
  2. ESP - Los Padres Reservoir Capacity Issues
  3. SAC - Salinas Valley Seawater Intrusion
  4. TB - "Urban Discharges to Areas of Special Biological Significance on Monterey Peninsula"
  5. CN - Basin Complex Fire Erosion and Debris Flows

Carmel WS Basin Complex Burn Severity Estimations

Severity Area (Km2) Percentage of Burned Area (%)
High 15 12

Carmel Watershed Mapping Project: Creating Maps of the Carmel River Watershed

As you create drafts, post them here.

Posting images is a two stage process:

  1. Upload the image. See the link in the left sidebar called 'Upload file'.
  2. Create a link to the file in your page. See link in the left sidebar for 'General MediaWiki Help'.

Wishlist of maps

Add your name in bold after a map to claim it as yours.
