1. (a) The introductory chapter was revised, summarized, and reorganized. A new section D was added describing emerging water quality issues. The State Water Board is committed to further examining the following issues:

   1. (1) Pelagic Organism Decline.
   2. (2) Climate Change.
   3. (3) Delta and Central Valley Salinity.
   4. (4) San Joaquin River Flows.
2. (b) Beneficial uses established in the 1995 Plan remain unchanged in the 2006 Bay-Delta Plan.
3. (c) Water Quality Objectives for Municipal and Industrial uses, Agricultural uses and Fish and Wildlife beneficial uses remain unchanged. No new water quality objectives were adopted in the 2006 Bay-Delta Plan. Water quality objective footnotes containing implementation dates have been moved to the program of Implementation or, if obsolete have been deleted. The fish and wildlife water quality objective footnotes in Table 3 have been edited for clarification and to use the same terminology as the corresponding footnotes in Water Right Decision 1641 (D-1641), which implements the flow-dependent fish and wildlife objectives.

4. (d) Implementation Measures.

   1. (1) Measures within the State Water Board Authority: This section was expanded to include specific implementation measures, many of which are implemented through permit and license terms adopted in D-1641.
   2. (2) Measures requiring a Combination of State Water Board Authorities and Actions by Other Agencies: This section was revised to update the State Water Board's recommendations to other agencies on their programs to achieve water quality objectives.
   3. (3) Recommendations to Other Agencies: This section has been updated to address new developments since the release of the 1995 Plan.
   4. (4) Monitoring and Special Studies Program: This section was updated to make changes to the Water Quality Compliance and Baseline Monitoring Program. The addition and deletion of stations as well as any other changes were made as proposed by the California Department of Water Resources.

On December 13, 2006 the State Water Resources Control Board (State Water Board) adopted Resolution No. 2006-0098, entitled Adoption of the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary (2006 Bay-Delta Plan). The 2006 Bay-Delta Plan supersedes the Water Quality Control Plan for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta Estuary adopted May 1995 (1995 Plan), the Water Quality Control Plan for Salinity for the San Francisco Bay/Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta adopted May 1991 (1991 Plan) and the Water Quality Control Plan for the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and Suisun Marsh adopted August 1978 (1978 Plan).
