WATER OUALITY

In the process of developing the Drainage Master Plan, several
locations where regional water quality facilities could be
constructed and provide major benefit were identified. In general,
the regional facilities are preferable to widening dispersed ones
constructed on individual developments. The main advantage is in
maintenance since it is difficult to keep the small facilities on
private land adequately maintained. The regional facilities could
be paid for by assessing the future development with a portion of
the cost proportioned to what its on-site quality control
requirements would have been.

The potential regional facilities are identified below.

1. Klack Basin - Several facilities should be
constructed along the main drainageway. The
detention structures identified under
prioritized improvements could serve as water
quality control facilities if properly
designed.

2. Basin E-5 - A pond could be constructed
prior to the confluence with the Blue River.

3. Lomax Gulch - A water quality control
facility between Ski Hill Road and the
confluence of the Blue River would be extremely
valuable. Lomax Gulch conveys a considerable
amount of sediment due to steep roadside
ditches, the nature of the soils and scars left
from hydraulic mining activity.
