# Appendix I Uncertainty/Sensitivity Analysis

To understand the effect of uncertainty (and the sensitivity) of the key variables on the outcome of the model, we ran the model using different values of certain parameters 1



# , and

then compared the predicted dissolved s elenium water column values to the dissolved

selenium water column values used to determine the proposed criteria. We ran the model using different v alues for partitioning coefficients ( K d 

# s)

, effect (tissue) concentrations

, and trophic transfer factors ( i.e., different diets ) . The se values

, the dissolved selenium water

column values after running the model, and the percent differences from the seleniu m water
column values used to determ ine the proposed criteria are shown in Table 1 for p artitioning

c oefficients ( K d 

# s), Table 2 for e ffect c oncentrations and Table 3 for t rophic t ransfer f actors ( TTFs). The model runs using the different K d 

# values are shown in Tables 1A through 1H; the

model runs using the different effect concentrations are shown in Tables 2A through 2H; and

the model runs using the different TTF values are shown in Tables 3A through 3H.

1. Sensitivity of Partitioning Coe fficient ( K d 

# ) Values (Table 1)

The model runs used to determine the proposed criteria values are based on the 75 th


# percentile K d 

# values of the focused seaward transects for clam

- eating fish and bird species, and

on the 75 th 

# percentile K d 

# values of the landward transects for insect

- eating fish species. We ran the model using the 25 th 

# percentile K d 

# values for each focused seaward and landward transect, and using the maximum K d 

# value for each focused seaward and landward transect ; and then compared the di ssolved s elenium water column values to the dissolved selenium water column values using the 75 th 

# percentile K d 

# values for each transect

. Using the 25 th 

# percentile K d 

# values for each transect, and the maximum K d 

# values for each transect, the predicted dissolved

selenium water column values are similar to the dissolved selenium water column values used

to d etermine the proposed criteria (i.e., the dissolved water column values using the 75 th


# percentile K d 

# values)

.

For clam

- eating fish and birds , for all focused seaward transects, the range of the 25 th


# percentile K d 

# values to the maximum K d 

# values is 946 to 7,725 . The corresponding dissolved

selenium wate r column values range from 0.115 to 3.059 μ g/L , for both clam

- eating fish and

birds

. For insect

- eating fish , for all landward transects, the range of 25 th 

# percentile K d 

# values to
the maximum K d 

# values is 1,629 to 12

, 650 and the corresponding dissolved selenium water

column va lues range from 0.218 to 1.6 95 μ g/L

.

## We changed one parameter at a time, and kept all other parameters the same as those that were used in the model runs to determine the proposed criteria (the model runs used to determine the proposed criteria were used as a baseline for comparisons).

# 2



# F or individual focused seaward transects, t he maximum percent difference between the

dissolved selenium water column values when using the 25 th 

# percentile and the 75 th

K d 

# values is 65 % ; the corresponding water column range is 0.2 to 0.4 μ g/L for clam

- eating fish

and for clam

- eating ducks , and 0.6 to 1.3 μ g/L for clam

- eating rails

. For individual landward

transects, t he maximum percent differen ce between the dissolved selenium water column

values when using the 25 th 

# percentile and the 75 th 

# percentile K d 

# values is 79% ; the corresponding water column r ange is 0.3 to 0.7 μ g/L for insect

dissolved selenium wa ter column values using the maximum and 75 th 

# percentile K d 

# v alues is

51 % and the corresponding water column range is 0. 4 to 0.7 μg/L . The maximum percent

differences of dissolved selenium water column v alues for all transects are all under 80 %

.
2. Sensitivity of Effect (Tissue ) Concentration Values (Table 2)

The model runs used to determine the proposed criteria values are based on a fish tissue whole body value of 8. 5 μ g/g dw for fish species, and on an egg tissue value of 12.5 μ g/g dw for bird species. We ran the model using two different fish tissue whole body value s, one
lower and one higher

, 5.0 μ g/g dw and 12.0 μ g/d dw, for fish species . Similarly, we ran the model using two different egg tissue value s , one lower and one higher, 7.7 μ g/g dw and 16.5

μ g/g dw, for bird species. For each transect, w e then compared the predicted dissol ved

selenium water column value for fish and birds to the dissol ved selenium water column value using a fish tissue whole body value of 8.5 μ g/g dw for fish and an egg tissue value of 12.5 μ g/g

dw for bird s , respectively

. Using the low and high fish tissue whole body and egg tissue values

for each transect for each set of species, the predicted dissolved selenium water column values

are similar to the water column values used to determine t he proposed criteria.

Low Tissue Values: For fish species, using the focused seaward t ransects for clam

- eating

fish and landward tra nsects for insect

- eating fish , and using a 5.0 μ g/g dw whole body tissue concentration, the model predicted dissolved sele nium water column values ranging from

0.084 μ g/L to 0.505 μ g/L. For bird species, using the focused seaward transects and using a 7.7

μ g/g dw egg tissue concentration, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column values ranging from 0.077 μ g/L to 1 .261 μ g/L.

High Tissue Values: For fish species, using the focused seaward t ransects for clam

- eating

fish and landward transects for insect

- eating fish, and using a 12.0 μ g/g dw whole body tissue concentration, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column values ranging from

0.202 μ g/L to 1.213 μ g/L. For bird species, using the focused seaward transects and using a

16.5 μ g/g dw egg tissue concentration, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column values ranging from 0.166 μ g/L to 2.701 μ g/L.

# 3



# For fish species, for individual focused seaward transects and landward transects, the maximum percent difference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using

a 5.0 μ g/g dw whole body tissue concentration and an 8.5 μ g/g dw whole b ody tissue

concentration is 52 %; the maximum percent difference when using an 8.5 μ g/g dw and 12.0

μ g/g dw whole body tissue concentration is 34 %. F or bird species, for individual focused seaward transects, the maximum percent difference between the disso lved selenium water column values when using a 7.7 μ g/g dw egg tissue concentration and a 12.5 μ g/g dw egg tissue concentration is 48%; the maximum percen t difference when using a 12.5 μ g/g dw and 16.5

μ g/g dw egg tissue concentration is 28%. The maximum percent differences of dissolved

selenium water column values are all approximately 50% or lower

.
3. Sensitivity of Trophic Transfer Factor (TTF) Values (Table 3)

The model runs used to determine the proposed criteria are based on reasonable

estimates of diets of the representative species in each category , i.e., for clam

- eating fish, sturgeon are the representative species; for clam

- eating birds, California Ridgeway’ s r ails and diving ducks (scoter and scaup) are representative species ; and for insect

- eatin g fish, juvenile

Chinook salmon and steelhead

, and Delta smelt are representative species. For clam

- eating species, the amount of Corbula in their diet will affect the outcome of model runs, because

Corbula are very efficient accumula t ors of selenium , i.e. the trophic transfer factor, TTF

, for

Corbula is high (17) (USGS, 2010).

Since the availability of food prey species such as Corbula can vary with environmental and hydrologic conditions, we ran the model using a low

- Corbula diet and a high

- Corbula diet

for clam

- eating species, and a low

- selenium and a high

- selenium diet for insect

- eating species. For each transect, we then compared the predicted dissolved selenium water column value s to
the dissolved selenium water column value s used to determine the proposed criteria (i.e., the

selenium water column values derived using the best representative diet for each set of
species ). Using the low

- and high

- Corbula diets for clam

- eating fish and birds, and using the

low

- and high

- seleni um diets for insect

- eating fish, for each transect for each set of species, the predicted dissolved selenium water column values are similar to the dissolved selenium water column values used to determine the proposed criteria.

Clam

- e ating Fish: To develop protective criteria, a diet of 40% Corbula (TTF = 17) and 60% annelids and crustaceans (TTF = 1.3) was used, for a weighted TTF of 7.6 (i.e., [0.40 x 17] + [0.60 x 1.3] = 7.6) (see Chapter 4 and Appendix F ) . This represents our curr ent understanding of

t he consumption pattern of sturgeon, the representativ e species for clam

- eating fish living in the estuary. T o better understand the sensitivity of the model, and specifically th e how the

amount of Corbula in a species’ diet affect s t he protective selenium value s in the water column

, a diet of 20% Corbula and a diet of 60% Corbula were modeled. A diet lower in Corbula

# 4



# repres ents environmental conditions where Corbula may be less abundant

– or where other food sources may be more abund ant , while a diet higher in Corbula represent s conditions

where Corbula may be more abundant

– or where other food sources may be less abundant.

For a diet of 20% Corbula and 80% annelids and crustaceans, a TTF of 4.4 was used (i.e., [0.20 x 17) + [0.80 x 1.3] = 4.4), and for a diet of 60% Corbula and 40% annelids and crustaceans, a TTF
of 10

. 7 was used (i.e., [0.60 x 17] + [0.40 x 1.3] = 10.7).

Results: For clam

- eating fish eating a low

- Corbula (20% Corbula ) diet, the model predicted dissolved selenium water co lumn values ranging from 0.248 μ g/L to 1.242 μ g/L; for

clam

- eating fish eating a high

- Corbula (60% Corbula ) diet, the model predicted dissolved

selenium water co lumn values ranging from 0.102 μ g/L to 0.511 μ g/L.

For clam

- eating fish species, for individual focused seaward transects, the p ercent difference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using a 20% (low)

Corbula diet and a 40% (best representative) Corbula diet is 53 %; the percent difference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using a 60% (high) Corbula diet and a 40% (best representative) Corbula diet is 34%. The maximum percent differences of dissolved

selenium water column values are approximately 50% or lower

.

Clam

- eating Birds: To develop protective criteria, two dietary scenarios were modeled : one for rails (littoral feeders) and one for diving ducks (sub

- tidal feeders) (see Chapter 4 and Appendix F ) . For rails, a diet of 20% Corb ula (TTF = 17), 40% other mollusks (TTF = 2.8) and 30% insects (TTF = 2.8) was used, for a weighted TTF of 5.4 2 

# (i.e., [0.20 x 17] + [0.40 x 2.8] + [0.30 x 2.8] = 5.4). This represents our current understanding of the consumption pattern of California

Rid g way’s r ails living in the estuary. To model a low

- Corbula diet and a high

- Corbula diet, a diet

of 5% Corbula , and a diet of 40% Corbula were modeled . For a diet of 5% Corbula , 55% other mollusks and 30% insects, a TTF of 3.2 was used (i.e., [0.05 x 17] + [0.55 x 2.8] + [0.30 x 2.8] = 3.2). For a diet of 40% Corbula , 20% other mollusks and 30% insects, a TTF of 8.2 was used (i.e., [0.40 x 17] + [0.20 x 2.8] + [0.30 x 2.8] = 8.2).

For diving ducks, t o develop prot ective criteria, a diet of 45% Corbula (TTF = 17) and 5% other animal material (TTF = 2.8) was used, for a weighted TTF of 7.8 3 

# (i.e., [0.45 x 17] + [0.05 x 2.8] = 7.8). This represents our current understanding of the consumption pattern of scoter

and sc aup living in the estuary. As with rails, a diet lower in Corbula and a diet higher in

2 

## The diet of the California Ridg way’s Rail also includes approximately 10% plant material, which is not considered a significant source of selenium in their diet and is , therefore, not included in the analysis

.

3 

## Since scoters and scaups are migratory spending half of the year in the estuary, only 50% of their yearly diet is represented. The other half of their diet is consumed outside the estuary and is not considered a significant source
of selenium.

# 5



# Corbula were modeled to represent conditions where the amount of Corbula and/or other available food sources may be different. A diet of 20% Corbula , and a diet of 70% Corbula were
modeled

. For a diet of 20% Corbula and 30% other animal material, a TTF of 4.2 was used (i.e., [0.20 x 17] + [0.30 x 2.8] = 4.2). For a diet of 70% Corbula and 5% other plant/animal material, a TTF of 12.0 was used (i.e., [0.70 x 17] + [0.0 5 x 2.8] = 12.0). Scoter and scaup are migratory and usually only spend the fall and winter in the estuary, or approximately half of the year; therefore, only 50% of their diet is represented in the 20% Corbula diet. A diet of 70% Corbula and 5% other animal material reflects a longer period of time in the estuary (approxim ately

three

- quarters of a year).

Results: For clam

- eating birds with a low

- Corbula diet, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column values ranging from 0.233 μ g/L to 3.453 μ g/L; for clam

- eating birds with a high

- Corbula diet, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column values ranging from

0.082 μ g/L to 1.348 μ g/L.

For clam

- eating rails , for individual focuse d seaward transects, the percent difference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using a 5 % (low) Corbula diet and a

20 % (best representative) Corbula die t is 51%; the percent difference between the dissolved

selenium wa ter column values when using a 4 0% (high) Corbula diet and a 2 0% (best representative) Corbula diet is 41 %. The maximum percent differences of dissolved selenium water column values are approximately 50% or lower

.

For clam

- eating ducks, for individual focused seaward transects, the percent difference

betwee n the d issolved selenium water column values when using a 20% (low) Corbula diet and a 45% (best representative) Corbula diet is 60%; the percent difference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using a 70% (high) Corbula diet and a 45 % (best representative) Corbula diet 42%. The maximum percent differences of dissolved selenium

water column values are 60% or lower.

Insect

- eating Fish: To develop protective criteria, a diet of 100% insects (TTF = 2.8) and a

TTF of 2.8 was used in the modeli ng (see Chapter 4 and Appendix F ). This represents our current understanding of the consumption pattern of juvenile Chinook salmon and steelhead, and Delta smelt, the representative species for insect

- eating fish living in the estuary. To model

a low

- selenium diet, a diet of 50% insects (TTF = 2.8) and 50% amphipods (TTF = 0.6) for a weighted TTF of 1.6 was used (i.e., [0.50 x 2.8] + [0.50 x 0.6] = 1.6) ; and to model a high

selenium diet, a diet of unknown prey with a TTF = 6.0 was used.

Results : For insect

- eating fish eating a low

- selenium diet, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column values ranging from 0.564 μ g/L to 1.504 μ g/L; for insect

- eating fish

# 6



# eating a high

- selenium diet, the model predicted dissolved selenium water column v alues ranging from 0.150 μ g/L to 0.401 μ g/L.

For insect

- eating fish, for individual landward transects, the percent difference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using a low

- selenium d iet and a 100% insect

diet is 55 %; the percent d ifference between the dissolved selenium water column values when using a high

- selenium diet and a 100% insect diet is 73%. The maximum percent differences of

dissolved selenium water column values are 73% or lower.

4. Uncertainty/Sensitivity

In all three comparisons, the maximum percent differences of dissolved selenium water

column values of the low and high scenarios with the scenarios used to determine the proposed criteria w ere all under 80% , and most were approximately 50% or lower . The maximum percent difference of dissolved selenium water column values when using the 25 th



# and 75 th 

# percentile K d 

# s was 65% for focused seaward transects ( approximately 0.2

– 0. 4 μ g/L for

clam

- ea ting fish and ducks and 0.6

– 1. 2 μ g/L for rails) , and 79% for l andward transects ( approximately 0.3

– 0. 7 μg/L) . The percent difference of dissolved selenium water column values when using the maximum and 75 th 

# percentile K d 

# s ranged from 8% to 51% with most

around 15% or lower. The differen ces in the water column val ues are not significant.

The maximum percent difference of dissolved selenium water column values when using a lower tissue concentration (5.0 v. 8.5 μ g/g dw for whole body fish tissue and 7.7 v. 12.5

μ g/g d w for egg tissue) was 52 % for fish and 48% for birds (most water column values between 0.1 and 0.7 μg/L)

. T he maximum percent difference of dissolved selenium water column values when using a higher t issue concentration (12.0 v. 8.5 μ g/g dw for whole body fish tissue and

16.5 v. 12.5 μ g/g dw for egg t issue) was 34 % for fish and 28% for birds (most water column

values between 0.2

– 1.0 μg/L). L astly, for clam

- eating fish and birds, the percent difference of

dissolved selenium water column values between a low

- selenium ( low Corbula ) diet and a

represent ative diet was 54 % for fish and 51

- 60% for birds (most water column values between 0.2 and 1.2 μg/L). Th e percent difference of a high

- selenium ( high Corbula ) diet and a representative diet was 34 % for clam

- eating fish and 41

- 43 % for clam

- eating birds (mo st water column values between 0.2 and 1.2 μg/L). For insect

- eating fish, the percent difference of

dissolved selenium water column values between a low

- selenium diet and a 100% insect diet

was 55 % (water column values between 0.3 and 1.5 μg/L), and the percent difference between a high

- selenium diet and a 100% insect diet was 73% (water column values between 0.3 and 0.8 μg/L)

. In all cases, the range of water column values is within a reasonable and close proximity to the proposed water column criterion
