| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; districts have made substantial commitments of money for such purposes as building two treatment plants in anticipation of deliveries ad valorem valoree taxes for repayment of project costs and other purposes such as con struction ruction striction st of the treatment plant have been collected for several years from large numbers of utah residents the potential impacts of the mai m&i system that would be precluded by nondevelopment would include both beneficial and adverse effects as described in chapter C some of the most obvious are those asso ciated coated with construction of jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir stabilization nonstabilization Non of the upper provo river reservoirs would mean that the longterm long term gains from the transfer of storage would not be realized and the forest service would probably require the present water users to immediately undertake the maintenance work needed on these reservoirs advanced eutrophication will continue to degrade the water quality of deer creek reservoir unless a reduction of phosphorus by 50 percent or more occurs the new land application waste water treatment system at heber city and midway would provide about a 20 percent reduction additional phosphorus removal could be accomplished by controlling non point source pollution from agriculture it is doubtful however that the accelerated eutrophication of deer creek can be checked without reducing pollution from livestock the water quality conditions described in section c6b2 for jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir in the absence of a management plan are probably just as applicable to deer creek reservoir indicating a total watershed management plan is also needed there if future developments are to be prevented from contributing additional nutrients As noted in section C 6b2 the state of utah has taken steps to initiate such a plan for jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir and these activities should continue if jordanelle Jor danelle is not built the continued use of copper sulfate algicide alg icide on deer creek reservoir could eventually be detrimental to the fishery and water quality since it is a superficial treatment of the symptoms rather than the cause of the problem if continuing eutrophication further aggra vates anaerobic conditions at deer creek reservoir then iron and man ganese canese would become an aesthetic problem and water treatment costs would be increased the state of utah presently restricts recreation use on deer creek reservoir for several thousand feet above the outlet since the surface water does not mix with the deeper water due to stratification during the recreation season it does not receive bacterial contamination with this restriction the water released from deer creek meets the raw potable water makeup make up standards no further restrictions of recreation use at deer creek reservoir are anticipated to protect the water quality for municipal use there is also an economic consideration of the nondevelopment alternative because many water utilities in salt lake county are H 12 |
