Copper management plan for the lower south San Francisco Bay. The plan lists actions to be taken (primarily by local government agencies) that have the potential to reduce copper concentrations in lower south San Francisco Bay. There are three tables of copper control actions: Baseline, Phase I, and Phase II. Baseline actions (intended to be implemented immediately) reference participation in the Brake Pad Partnership. The plan includes specific copper concentrations that, if measured in lower south San Francisco Bay, would trigger Phase I or Phase II actions. Phase I actions reference unidentified further actions to reduce copper releases from vehicle brake pads. Subsequent to completion of the Copper Action Plan, most of its elements have been adopted into water quality permits for the municipal wastewater and storm water discharges to lower south San Francisco Bay. |
