Introduction of Version 2.0b• Significant changes to sediment model
– Box volumes are no longer static.
– Net sedimentation is constrained by box geometry.
– Tributary loads do not include bed loads, only suspended fraction.
– Tributary loads distributed representatively between Bay segments
– Calibrated to net sedimentation for 4 South Bay subregions reported by Jaffe et al.
– Improved boundary conditions at Delta and Lower South Bay. (improved mass conservation)

Introduction of Version 2.0b
• Implications for PCB model:– Improved mass conservation (99.98% daily
conservation)– Improved accounting of sediment-water
exchange.– Constrained erosion/deposition improves
forecast.

Future Plans (v2.0)
• Address comments from v1.0 draft report and incorporate changes into v2.0 (in progress)
• Calibration and Validation– Sediment sampling to improve estimates of PCB inventory and
historic loads
– Tracer experiments to quantify flushing, compare with obs.
• Uncertainty and Sensitivity Analysis – with TetraTech– Monte Carlo type UA
– More rigorous SA
• v2.0 draft and final reports – (Draft = September 2005)
