Options for remediation of contamination at Stewart Lake were developed and submitted <br />to the public for comment in 1994, Planning for remediation should be completed by 1995. <br />USGS and FWS will continue to monitor the areas until a remedial plan is selected and <br />through implementation, <br /> <br />In FY94 a screening study for contaminants associated with DOl irrigation projects was <br />initiated in the Carbon and Emery Counties of Utah, Results indicate selenium and salt <br />contamination of the Desert Lake Waterfowl Management Area may be hazardous to fish and <br />waterfowl, <br /> <br />Uinta Basin Ground-Water Salinity Monitoring <br /> <br />In 1994, the U.S, Geological Survey. Water Resources Division, collected water samples from <br />ten water wells in the Uinta Basin in cooperation with the Utah Division of Oil, Gas, and <br />Mining, The rater well samples were analyzed for constituents typically associated with oil- <br />field brines in an effort to detect early any movement of saline water, related to injection of <br />oil-field brines as a method of disposal, into the aquifers used for water supply in the area. <br />Constituents analyzed included isotopes of oxygen, chloride, and bromide and field water- <br />quality parameters, <br /> <br />-~~. <br /> <br />18 <br />
