Problems include heavy algal blooms caused by excessive amounts of nutrients and dissolved oxygen depletions due to high BOD levels. Sources identified were urban runoff and municipal wastewater treatment plants. Mill Creek has been impacted by phosphorus and sediments. Some of the stream's riparian habitat has been lost and stream banks have been de- stabilized by recreational uses. Salt Lake County and the Forest Service are using the fees they collect to rehabilitate the stream banks. Picnic tables and campground areas are being moved away from the stream so that the riparian habitat can be re- established. The lower part of Big Cottonwood Creek, from the Forest Service boundaries to the Jordan River, have been labeled non- supporting because copper levels exceed the levels for aquatic life. The source appears to be the historic canyon mining sites. Little Cottonwood Creek from Jordan River to the Forest Service Boundary has fairly high levels of total dissolved solids and doesn't support its agricultural use classification. This is largely due to urban runoff. 12- 6 |
