Water Quality Concerns and Status Sample Clauses

Water Quality Concerns and Status. The primary water quality concerns for the lake are: nutrients, metals, gas saturation (from Cabinet Gorge and Noxon Rapids hydroelectric dams), fisheries (Endangered Species Act listed bull trout), and Eurasian Milfoil (a non-native aquatic weed that forms dense weed beds and can severely restrict beneficial uses). Due to the water level fluctuations and shoreline development, bank erosion is severe in some areas (IDEQ 1999). The problem assessment also notes that as of 1999 none of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permits for point sources were current, and that Idaho Water Quality Standards may not be protective of the lake from the standpoint of mixing zone requirements or cumulative effects from dischargers. The State of Idaho Water Quality Standards include a narrative description for unacceptable levels of nutrients that states: “Surface waters of the state shall be free from excess nutrients that can cause visible slime growths or other nuisance aquatic growths impairing designated beneficial uses.” The lake is afforded additional protection by being designated by the State as a Special Resource Water. Because of this designation, no new point sources are allowed and existing sources are limited to their current permit capacities. The Special Resource Water designation protects the lake from discharges that would cause a measurable reduction in ambient water quality below the applicable mixing zone. Open lake water quality—which is predominantly influenced by the Xxxxx Fork River—has not changed statistically since the mid-1950’s (Xxxxxxxx 1989, Xxxxx 1991a). However, Xxxxxxxxx et al. (1993) concluded that at the projected population growth rate, the difference between existing conditions (oligotrophic) and less desirable conditions (mesotrophic) would be reduced by approximately one half in twenty years. The population growth projected (population of 35,081 in Xxxxxx County by 2010) by Xxxxxxxxx et al. (1993) was actually reached in 1998. Therefore, the growth pattern around the lake has reached the potential for being a very real threat to water quality.
