<br />0....1' '1 '1 ... <br />'J. '.L~ <br /> <br />USGS gage in Farmington below the confluence of the San <br />Juan and Animas Rivers. <br /> <br />In general, Reclamation believes that during long-term flows <br />of 250 cfs during the irrigation season some exceedence of <br />State standards for the San Juan River between Navajo Dam <br />and the Animas River confluence would occur. <br /> <br />The NMDGF is continuing analysis of the water quality from <br />sCJmples it collected during the Test and Reclamation will <br />include that information, as appropriate, in the EIS. In <br />addition, the New Mexico Environmental Department/Surface <br />""ater Quality Bureau is beginning studies in the San Juan <br />Riiver Basin to address water quality concerns. <br /> <br />Nlethod <br /> <br />S,amples were taken and analyzed using New Mexico State <br />standards for uses including irrigation, livestock, wildlife <br />habitat, and warmwater, marginal coldwater, and high- <br />quality cold-water fisheries. Constituents analyzed included <br />major cations and anions (positively and negatively charged <br />ions), dissolved and total trace elements, some radioactive <br />parameters, some organic compounds (DDT, PCBs, Total <br />Chlordane), fecal coliform, e. coli, and physical properties. <br /> <br />VVater quality sampling was conducted using standard <br />Geological Survey and Environmental Protection Agency <br />methodologies. Attachment B lists the sampling site locations <br />olnd provides a detailed description of observations and <br />results. <br /> <br />Summer Low Flow Test Report - November 2001 <br /> <br />-9- <br />
