The State Water Board and the Lahontan Regional Water Quality Control Board regulate the quality of California’s surface waters in part via the adoption and enforcement of water quality standards for bacterial indicators. The Water Boards’ current bacterial indicators and standards are decades old. The Water Boards need modern tools and information regarding bacterial indicators in order to amend and update existing water quality standards for bacteria, to adopt new or complementary water quality standards for bacterial indicators, and to develop appropriate numeric targets for Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for bacteria and pathogens. This study will examine the relative concentrations of various bacterial indicators at streams in California’s eastern Sierra Nevada (Lahontan Region), using modern as well as traditional methods.
