The Conditional Waiver implements the Napa River and Sonoma Creek sediment Total Maximum Daily Loads with the overarching goals of reducing nonpoint source pollutant discharges from vineyard properties and protecting and enhancing beneficial uses, including the protection of anadromous fish habitat.
