6.7 WATER QUALITY <br />y) Several West Slope stakeholders have been concerned with potential water quality impacts <br />that may be associated with the operation of Sulphur Gulch Reservoir. In a recent Water <br />Court settlement, the water right applicants for the reservoir agreed to implement certain <br />operational criteria to minimize any potential for water quality degradation. In return, the <br />concerned West Slope stakeholders agreed "not to raise and to not encourage others to <br />raise, any issues related to the salinity of and total dissolved solids in water to be diverted <br />and stored in and released from the Sulphur Gulch Reservoir in any applicable permitting <br />processes for the Sulphur Gulch Reservoir... and pumping plant and pipeline." No substantial <br />water quality impacts have been identified that are associated with the proposed Sulphur <br />Gulch Reservoir as long as the project is operated in accordance with the terms of the <br />settlement. <br />z) Adverse water quality impacts are not anticipated with any of the other 10825 alternatives <br />that have been assessed. <br />6.8 CONCLUDING OBSERVATIONS <br />The most viable 10825 Water supply alternatives would utilize a combination of some or all of <br />the following facilities: <br />• Lake Granby <br />• OMID Improvements <br />• Ruedi Reservoir <br />• Sulphur Gulch Reservoir <br />Buzzard Creek Reservoir, Williams Fork Reservoir, and Wolford Mountain Reservoir <br />improvements should be eliminated from consideration, along with the other facilities that were <br />previously eliminated from consideration in this study. <br />10825 Water Supply Stuck, Pease 2 l �:ti <br />r Ws Assessment January 2008 Draft 12 <br />
