Summary

Note: This data release has been superseded by version 2.0, available here: https://doi.org/10.5066/P9MDXR3M. The Cache Creek Settling Basin (CCSB) is a 13.3 km2 leveed basin located at the terminal drainage of the Cache Creek watershed, immediately NE of the town of Woodland (Yolo County), California and approximately 18 km NW of Sacramento, California. The basin was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (completed in 1937 and modified in 1993) for the purpose of trapping suspended sediment transported from the upper Cache Creek watershed during high-flow events, thus preventing sediment from entering the Yolo Bypass, a larger downstream floodwater conveyance and agricultural zone. In addition to trapping suspended sediment, [...]

Purpose

As part of its Total Maximum Daily Load program, the State of California’s Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board has a goal to reduce the amount of Hg entering the Sacramento – San Joaquin Delta by increasing the trap efficiency of the CCSB from approximately 50% (previously estimated for the period 1984–2003) to 75% (Wood and others, 2010). The study associated with this data release has two primary goals: a) to obtain estimates of the trap efficiency of the CCSB for both particulate and dissolved Hg species (total Hg and methylmercury); and b) to improve understanding of Hg biogeochemistry and bioaccumulation within the CCSB, particularly in relation to the four main habitat types noted above. This data release is focused on the within-basin sediment component (goal b) of this larger study. Water-quality data related to trap efficiency (goal a) are reported separately (see ‘Associated Items’).
