Since December 2017, Sacramento County and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board have been working together to identify the impacts of the 303(d) listing for the Lower American River and the American River Parkway. The coordination efforts are currently focused on the potential health impacts of E. coli for aquatic recreation activities such as boating, swimming and wading and the impact of trash on water quality in the American River from a variety of sources in the American River Parkway.
