| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; results of the environmental contaminants study cham ch2m hillhorrocks HILL Horrocks 1996a were used to evaluate potential impacts on water quality and biota previous studies have shown selenium to be the most frequently elevated contaminant of concern therefore the contaminants study focused on selenium but also examined other trace elements and organochlorine organo chlorine contaminants 334.1 3341 3341 potential impacts eliminated from further analysis projected water quality conditions under the proposed action and each action alternative were compared to baseline conditions to identify the potential water quality effect and determine whether the expected effect would be significant based on this analysis many construction and operational impacts on surface water and groundwater quality were judged insignificant and eliminated from further analysis these potential impacts are sunu summarized narized in the text that follows 3341.1 33411 potential construction impacts eliminated from further analysis potential construction related impacts on on water quality would include sediment from temporary soil disturbance 0 accidental releases of fuels or other liquids increased turbidity and sedimentation during instream stream in activities these potential impacts are expected to be temporary and minor as environmental protection requirements for the prevention of water pollution erosion and sediment control and spill prevention and containment would be implemented to avoid or reduce water quality impacts during construction see the standard construction and operating requirements outlined in appendix A no significant or longterm long term impacts on surface or groundwater quality are expected construction activities would be performed in accordance with the non point source water pollution control plan for hydrologic modifications in utah robinson 1994 the plan specifies BMPs for non point source water pollution control where there is potential for disturbing stream channels riparian areas and floodplains flood plains any potential for adverse impacts from an accidental release of petroleum products would be reduced by adhering to spill containment and countermeasure requirements included in CUWCDs construction specifications and spill prevention containment and countermeasure SPCC plan to reduce adverse impacts on water quality instream stream in construction activities would be conducted during low flow seasons to the extent practicable and limited or avoided in riparian stream seep and spring areas during periods of unstable soil and streambank stream bank conditions caused by high soil moisture snowmelt snowbelt snow melt runoff or extended periods of rain areas and periods for limited construction activities would be identified through consultation with soil fish and wildlife and water resource management agencies and would be included in CUWCD construction specifications contractors would be required to monitor water quality during any construction activities that could impact surface water quality 3311 33 11 |
