The quality of the water is very good and has proven to be <br />satisfactory for all Dolores Project purposes and will therefore be adequate for WETP ACK <br />purposes. <br /> <br />Water samples collected by USBR for the Project showed average dissolved solids of 127 <br />milligrams per liter with a range of 79 to 352 milligrams per liter. (mg/1) <br /> <br />A water quality profile for the Dolores River indicates: <br /> <br />The only heavy metals present in detectable levels are iron, zinc, and mercury; <br /> <br />Arsenic and selenium are the only toxic substances present in detectable amounts; <br /> <br />Water temperature and dissolved oxygen levels are sufficient to support a diverse aquatic <br />community; <br /> <br />Calcium carbonate values ranges from 23 to 200 mg/1 and average 128; <br /> <br />Calcium values range from 9.2 to 80 mg/l with at average of 51 ; <br /> <br />Radioactivity levels are low. <br /> <br />High levels of mercury have been found in certain species of fish in McPhee and Narriguinepp <br />Reservoirs. After many years of study the source of the mercury is unknown. <br /> <br />9 <br />
