1 2010 Water Quality Implementation Report Water Quality Management Plan for 2009 Water Year Provo River and Jordanelle & Deer Creek Reservoirs

2 Projects in the Watershed  Quagga and Zebra Mussels, Utah Aquatic Invasive Species Management  Monitoring of Pollutants of Emerging Concern, Pharmaceuticals and PHCPs  Provo River Watershed Festival  Jordanelle Special Service District Water Reclamation Plant Permitting  Wallsburg / Main Creek Watershed Plan  Wasatch County Water Efficiency Project (WCWEP) / JSSD Recycled Water Project NEPA Study  Deer Creek Dam Renovations  Deer Creek Reservoir Sediment Studies

3 Upper Provo River  Provo River exhibited greater differences in TSS Load between Woodland and Hailstone in in 2005-2009 as compared to previous years. Construction Activity?

4 Upper Provo River  Provo River exhibited greater differences in TSS Load between Woodland and Hailstone in in 2005-2009 as compared to previous years. Construction Activity?  High Flows - especially for the Weber Provo Canal

5 Kamas Fish Hatchery  High Total Phosphorus  High Dissolved Phosphorus 20082009 Avg TP0.050.04 Max TP0.090.10 Min TP0.00 Avg DTP0.03 Max DTP0.05 Min DTP0.00

6 Summary ProblemExceedence RateResponsible Organization Action Upper Provo River and Jordanelle Reservoir Big Dutch Pete Hollow Below Mayflower - High Heavy Metals Concentrations Cadmium – 60%  US Bureau of ReclamationStandards for cadmium and zinc were exceeded 60% and 100% of the time. This is drainage from mines in the area and consistently flows three (3) to five (5) cfs throughout the year into Jordanelle Reservoir. Zinc – 100% Provo River at Hailstone - High Total Suspended Solids Concentrations and Loads No StandardWasatch County & Summit CountySite visit to observe land disturbances. Possible source may be gravel pit. Work with developers and agencies to correct problem.

7 Provo River in Heber Valley □Spring Creek major contributor of phosphorus & solids □Average TP concentration in the Provo River above Deer Creek Reservoir was 0.03 mg/l
