An expanded stream monitoring program is recommended for implementation. <br /> <br />In addition to the 31 stations currently in the study area, 29 new <br />'locations are proposed. Biological and sediment sampling have also been <br />'incorporated into .the program. Recommendations have been set forth to <br /> <br />conduct stream sampling and analysis on a regional basis and are incor- <br />porated in the regional manage~ent schemes. <br /> <br />11. Pilot programs for control of nonpoint sources of pollution are recommended <br />for Red Mountain Creek on the Uncompahgre River and New Jersey Zinc on <br />the Eagle River. Urban runoff is acknowledged as a source of surface <br />water pOllution and pilot programs are suggested before any treatment <br /> <br />measures are undertaken. <br /> <br />12. Salinity, the one most significant degrading pollutant in Colorado rivers <br />and streams, shows no increasing trend at the Cameo, Colorado station and <br />only a slight increasing trend at the Cisco, Utah station over the past <br />30 years. If the annual weighted average salinity concentration for <br />water year 1972 is established as a standard, the State of Colorado can <br />expect to be out of compl iance approximately 30 percent of the time hased en <br />~istorical data. <br /> <br />i i i <br />
