BLUE RIVER HYDROLOGIC BASIN
WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT PLAN
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Blue River Basin, located in North-Central Colorado, has become
the focus of considerable concern for maintenance of acceptable water
quality. A particularly sensitive ecological setting and rapid and exten-
sive recreational development have combined to provide conditions which could
lead to degradation of water quality and cultural eutrophication of reservoirs.
Through water quality survey and research efforts of the Environmental
Protection Agency, State of Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control
Division, and their consultants, a data base has been established which enables
the planning process required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amend-
ments of 1972 to proceed. An algal growth potential study performed by EPA has
indicated that phosphorus is the limiting nutrient for algae growth. Waste
load allocations of phosphorus have been made to the waters of the Basin based
on this data.
A water quality management scheme utilizing five advanced wastewater treat-
ment plants in the area tributary to Dillon Reservoir and two advanced waste-
water treatment plants to serve the area between Dillon and Green Mountain
Reservoirs has been evaluated and recommended for implementation. Included
also are recommendations for sludge disposal in a properly engineered landfill
site and creation and operation of a Wastewater Reclamation Board for coordina-
tion of supply and laboratory facilities.
