| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; result in longer periods of anaerobic conditions with increased oxygen demand throughout the reservoir As a result the deep water particu partica parti cu larly barly in the north arm would not support fish or macroinvertebrates macro invertebrates which are essential to the fish food chain the likelihood and severity of a heavy metals problem would be much greater and periodic fish kills could occur the reservoirs aesthetic values for recreation and fish eries would be greatly decreased as the reservoir experienced obnoxious algae blooms proliferation of trash fish and seasonal odor problems to avoid these problems a lake management plan and phosphorus waste load allocation system should be implemented studies by the mountainland association of governments mountainland association of governments 1977c have identified the need for phosphorus control through a lake management plan if jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir is built and the environmental protection agency has specified the development of a lake management plan for jordanelle Jor danelle and deer creek reservoirs as a contingency of their approval of the mountainland association of governments 208 plan since it would involve areas outside the property right of way and jurisdiction of the bureau the development and administration of a lake management plan would be the responsibility of the counties involved the state of utah and the environmental protection agency wastewater pollution control at the jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir recreation sites would be the responsibility of the bureau of reclamation and would be included in a phosphorus allocation system some of the elements of a lake manage ment plan should include 1 a minimum distance between the reservoir and any development already provided for in the initial takeline keline tapeline ta pro posed around the reservoir 2 a phosphorus waste load allocation system which would not allow sewage discharge to the reservoir unless phosphorus removal tertiary treatment were provided 3 a prohibition against wastewater discharges to the north arm of the reservoir 4 a permit system for septic tanks to insure proper placement and construe construc con struc tion 5 the requirement of minimum lot sizes to prevent excessive runoff and erosion and to assure adequate treatment of sewage in leach fields and 6 the implementation of management practices for construe construc con struc tion activities to reduce erosion and turbidity to the reservoir some of these regulations have been included in wasatch county zoning regula tions eions that apply around the proposed reservoir basin and in the mountainland ta inland association of governments 1120811 208 plan the bureau of reclama tion has held informal consultation with the environmental protection agency on the content of the lake management plan and initiated coordina ordina courdina co tion with the state of utah jordanelle danelle Jor reservoir would act as a nutrient and heavy metals sink this action and the removal of the abandoned miltwaste millwaste mill waste pond from the active drainage would reduce the heavy metals that pre bently sently are transported down the provo river to deer creek reservoir the metals now present in the water from the mine drains and the abandoned pond reach deer creek reservoir primarily in suspended sediments and are retained in the bottom As deer creek reservoir continues to eu trophy anaerobic conditions are becoming more prevalent at the water sediment interface and both nutrients and heavy metals are now beginning to be recycled back into solution C 36 |
