The GBP OC is comprised of senior level representatives from USBR, USFWS, CDFG, CVRWQCB, and the USEPA. The role of the OC is to evaluate all operations of the GBP, including monitoring data, compliance with selenium load reduction goals, and other relevant information.

The GBP involves the coordination and cooperation of several State and Federal agencies whose authority, interests, or activities directly overlap in one or more aspects of the project. These agencies include: the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Central Valley Region (CVRWQCB), the California Department of Fish and Game (CDFG), and the San Luis Delta-Mendota Water Authority (SLD-MWA).

Procedures and protocol for biota sampling to determine contaminant body burdens in fish, invertebrates, and vegetation will be standardized to complement recent or current studies conducted by USFWS and CDFG.

Cross-sections of the SLD from Check 19 to the terminus are shown in Figure 4.4.1. There will be water flowing in the SLD during the sediment surveys. In order to obtain accurate thickness measurement, it is proposed that, at any given location, a measurement be taken along the length of the slope of the lining from the top of the lining to the water surface, and then, that a probe be used to take the measurement from the water surface to the sediment in the center of the SLD.
