Water Quality Monitoring

ACCWP MRP 3 IMR for WYs 2020 to 2025

The purpose of this fact sheet is to explain the pollutants of concern (POCs) control program implemented by the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP) to reduce mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) discharges to San Francisco Bay (Bay) via urban stormwater.

Public agencies in Alameda County are working together to keep pollutants out of the San Francisco Bay. Under regional requirements, these agencies must reduce pollutants of concern (POCs) in stormwater runoff. This fact sheet explains how local agencies, through the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP), collectively protect Bay water quality by targeting two key contaminants in urban runoff: polychlorinated

This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for PCBs and Mercury Source Area Investigations describes how the Alameda Countywide Clean Water Program (ACCWP) or a member agency will conduct site visits within focus areas to determine if there is a readily identifiable property or area that disproportionally contributes polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) or mercury into the municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4).
