Other tributaries containing excessive parameter concentrations <br />include the following: Little Beaver Creek (TDS- 752 mg/1, TSS- 52 mg/1, <br />iron- 1200 ~g/l, se1enium- 25 ~g/l, and total phosphorus- 0.419 mg/1 as <br />p), Coal Creek (TSS-203 m9/1, iron- 4700,~g/1, and total phosphorus- 0.250 <br />mg/1 as p), Miller Creek (TDS- 728 mg/1), Big Beaver Creek (TDS- 527 mg/1), <br />and Lost Creek (iron- 560 ~g/l and zinc- 80 ~g/l). Except for irrigation <br />return flows contributing TDS and phosphorus in Coal Creek, Miller Creek, <br />and Little Beaver Creek, these excessive parameter concentrations all <br />appear to be due to natural hydrochemical stream characteristics. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The South Fork of the White River was found to be of very high quality <br />except for slightly high concentrations of zinc (70 ~g/l) due to natural <br />causes. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />The Milk Creek drainage, located approximately 30 km (19 mil northeast <br />of Meeker, is the site for a proposed reservoir development. Samples were <br />collected upstream and downstream from the proposed reservoir, and the <br />following parameters were measured at concentrations in excess of recommended <br />criteria/standards: TDS (1115 mg/1), TSS (210 mg/1), and total phos- <br />phorus (0.183 mg/1 as Pl. Concentrations of the common minerals (calcium, <br />sodium, magnesium, and potassium) were also at levels indicative of <br />highly mineralized water. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br />d, <br /> <br />,.;, <br />;;,' <br />
