Compliance with Consent Decree. Inflow TP concentrations to the ENP through Taylor Slough and the Coastal Basins are compared to the 11 ppb limit at the end of each water year using data from both the old (S175, S332, S18C) and new (S174, S332D, S18C) combinations of structures (Figure 10). The bars in Figure 10 represent the 12-month flow-weighted mean TP concentrations from S332, S175 and S18C for water years 1989 through 2002. The diamond point values for water years 1999 through 2007 represent the new combination of structures. TP and flow data from both sets of structures presented in prior editions of this report through December 2001 (April 2002 report) showed that, beginning in October 2000, the 12-month moving total flow for S332D, S174 and S18C was consistently greater than flow at S332, S175 and S18C. There was also a shift in flow-weighted mean TP concentration data whereby S332D, S174 and S18C concentrations became equal to and then consistently lower than the concentrations at S332, S175 and S18C. These changes reflected the switch made from S332 to S332D for water delivery to Taylor Slough between July 3 and July 5, 2000. Consequently, as of the July 2002 report, only S332D, S174 and S18C data are presented for monthly tracking of data in Figure 10. However, there had been almost no flow at S174 since March 2006. The site was plugged in September 2007, preventing any flow through S174. Figure 11 presents the 12-month and individual sampling event flow- weighted mean TP concentrations at the S332D and S18C structures. All TP grab sample concentrations taken on positive flow days reported for surface water monitoring at the 3 sites were used for the compliance calculations. For the 12-month periods ending in January, February, and March 2008, the 12-month flow-weighted mean TP concentration was 4.6 ppb for the combined flow through S332D and S18C (Table 3). The Consent Decree stipulates that the percent of flow-weighted mean TP concentrations greater than 10 ppb from each sampling event in any 12-month period must not exceed a fixed guideline of 53.1 percent. The observed percentages of the sampling event flow-weighted mean TP concentrations greater than 10 ppb for the combined flow through S332D and S18C were 2.6 and 2.5 percent for the periods ending in January and February 2008, respectively. There was no sampling event flow-weighted mean TP concentration greater than 10 ppb from April 2007 to March 2008. The daily flows into the ENP through S332D, S174 and S18C are presented in Figure 12. There was almost no flow at S332D (9 acre-feet) and little flow at S18C (2,489 acre-feet). Figure 13 shows the relationship between the daily inflows and the corresponding flow-weighted mean TP concentrations for each sampling event. The sampling event flow-weighted mean concentrations remained very low, 3 to 10 ppb, since April 2007.
