| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; in an extreme situation at jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir with pollution caused by uncontrolled development the heavy metals may be recycled for several weeks during the spring and fall months neverthe verthe nevertie Ne less the overall impact should be a slight reduction in the heavy metals entering the provo river and deer creek reservoir no impacts on munic ipal apal and industrial water users are expected as a result of the construc construe con struc tion of jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir presently municipal and industrial water is diverted to the salt lake aqueduct at deer creek dam about 16 miles downstream project municipal and industrial diversions would be made at the olmsted diversion dam an additional 6 miles below deer creek dam jordanelle Jor danelle as an intermediate reservoir is removed from the actual points of municipal and industrial diversions by retention of nutrients and heavy metals in jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir the municipal and industrial water quality at deer creek reservoir could actually be improved proper management of jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir possibly including in lake treatment is expected to enhance water quality of the mai mal diversions since potable water supplies would not be diverted dir ectly estly from jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir the state of utah would not now require any restrictions on primary body contact recreation to protect water quality if pollution at deer creek reservoir continues or actually increases due to expected future development then the extreme conditions described for jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir are likely to occur at deer creek reservoir and additional restrictions on recreation use might become necessary 3 provo river between jordanelle Jor danelle and deer creek bureau studies indicate that releases from jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir could be maintained at temperatures of 48 to 55 F from june into november in most years with a multiple outlet system a temperature range which would be adequate for trout however the upper intake elevations now being considered would not be functional below elevation 6055 at which point reservoir releases would be from the bottom outlet elevation of 5900 feet above sea level additionally in those years when the reservoirs maximum surface elevation is between 6075 and 6040 feet the water released during the summer would be much cooler and would not reach 48 F before august the 43 year operation study indicates that the reservoir would be between these elevations about I 1 1 year in 10 during initial filling several consecutive years of cool releases would be expected dissolved oxygen deficiencies are not expected with the use of the multiple outlet system but at any rate aeration would occur in a short distance downstream water quality in this reach of the river may potentially be improved by project supplemental irrigation although the use of fertilizers may increase somewhat because of an assured late season water supply the present excessive application of water during high runoff and mid season would be reduced along with the flushing effectof effector effect of the excess water As a result irrigation return flows would be reduced along with C 37 |
