2000 RMP Pulse of the Estuary
Petaluma River
• Trapped sediment mass• Tidal oscillation• Persists throughout year• Large suspended- sediment concentration
• Sonoma Creek too

Sediment and Contaminant Budgets• Sources and sinks• New data and studies• Sediment supply decreasing• Proposed alterations• Revising sediment budget

• Legacy contaminants in bed
• Add sediment and PCBs to salinity box model
