| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; SUMMARY water quality program pages C 29 through C 39 of FES in the FES two main water quality concerns were noted the first stemmed from the high nutrient phosphorous loading and eutrophication of existing deer creek reservoir that also would likely occur in jordan elle reservoir the second was related to abandoned mine wastes tailings ponds located in and near the north arm of the proposed jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir phosphorous loading jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir is expected to retain some of the nutrient load that currently impacts deer creek reservoir and control of phosphorous inflows is crucial to maintaining the water quality of both reservoirs accordingly reclamation is committed to an areawide joint federal statelocal State local government water quality management plan WQMP which has been approved by the environmental protection agency EPA since jor danelle reservoir would reduce phosphorous loading in deer creek reservoir by about 4800 kilograms per year kgyr kg yr construction of jordan elle reservoir is a part of the overall water quality management plan A number of other provisions are in the plan including those concerning construction related permits the jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir management boundary the approvalcoordinationmonitoringmaintenance process installation of a multilevel outlet and mine tailings stabilization as noted below mine tailings stabilization the 1979 FES addressed two separate mine tailings sites which had the potential for harmful impact to jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir water quality the olsonneihart Olson Neihart site is the major concern as it will be inundated by the proposed jordanelle Jor danelle reservoir the mayflower tailings are adjacent to the proposed new management boundary the olsonneihart Olson Neihart site will be stabilized probably by removal from the reservoir basin by either EPA through the national priority list superfund Super fund program or by the bureau of reclamation the mayflower site will be stabilized by the landowner reclamation has developed an agreement with the landowner to study the potential for consolidating and stabilizing both olsonneihart Olson Neihart and mayflower tailings at the mayflower site without damaging the development capability of the mayflower property should the mayflower property owner fail to stabli ize the tailings by initial reservoir filling then reclamation will stabilize the tailings through easement or purchase as discussed in this supplement construction activity and schedule by early 1987 the jordan and alpine aqueducts were about 97 per cent complete reach 1 reach 2 and reach 3 of the jordan aqueduct and reach I 1 1 of the alpine aqueduct see frontispiece map are complete S 5 |
