This report from the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay features articles on the four major pathways by which pollutants enter the Bay: municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, stormwater, and dredging and dredged sediment disposal. Each article provides a basic introduction to the pathway and discusses the regulatory framework, recent findings, and future challenges. The report also includes some of the latest highlights from monitoring of important parameters such as nutrients, emerging contaminants, mercury, PCBs, and selenium.
CD3 or Contaminant Data Display and Download is a web-based visualization tool for accessing water quality data for the San Francisco Bay-Delta region, including the RMP’s long-term dataset. The tool has been redesigned to leverage SFEI’s other interactive mapping efforts and debuts impressive new functionality, including enhanced spatial querying and generating dynamic statistical summaries and charts.
Other key benefits of the redesigned tool include:
The RMP has produced a synthesis report on PCBs that summarizes recent advances in understanding and makes recommendations for future studies. The report addresses nine priority management questions articulated by the RMP PCB Strategy Team.
The Annual Meeting of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) was held on Tuesday, October 14, 2014 at the David Brower Center in Berkeley, CA from 9 AM to 4 PM.
We had an exciting line-up of speakers on the following topics:
Phil Trowbridge is the Program Manager for the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay. The Bay RMP is a novel, multi-faceted regional monitoring program that uses pooled resources from dischargers and dredgers of San Francisco Bay to conduct and coordinate studies aimed at evaluating ecosystem health, characterizing sources and fate of contaminants, and informing potential management actions.
The Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) recently published a technical report, authored by Dr. Rebecca Sutton of SFEI and her colleagues, that summarizes a series of RMP monitoring and research projects that have investigated the impacts of the flame retardants polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) in San Francisco Bay.
This Charter describes the purpose and function of the Regional Monitoring Program for Water
Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP). Established in 1993, the RMP is a collaborative effort
between the San Francisco Estuary Institute, the California Regional Water Quality Control
Board, San Francisco Bay Region, and the regulated discharger community.
In 2019 the Regional Monitoring Program for Water Quality in San Francisco Bay (RMP) is entering its 27th year of collecting data and communicating information to support water quality management decisions. This Detailed Workplan and Budget describes the activities that will be completed in 2019, the proposed funding levels, and the deliverables for each task.
