<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />N <br />00 <br />C\l <br />C\l <br /><- <br />o <br /> <br />Due to a reduced salt pickup the sewage treatment plant effluent is <br />expected to be less dense at equivalent temperatures. Without an <br />adjustment in temperature, the depth of the effluent inflow current in Las <br />Vegas Bay may diminish. Adjustment of temperature may be accomplished by <br />increased detention time provided in the surge ponds or additional ponds, <br />if needed. Estimates of Wash discharge and salt load are shown on Table 1. <br /> <br />The estimate for salt load reduction for future years depend on the <br />adverse salinity impact of erosion control that may be implemented by other <br />agencies. Evidence to date indicates a reduction in salt pickup with <br />continued headcutting of the erosion channel. Since the impacts of <br />possible erosion control attempts are uncertain, a total load reduction is <br />shown in Table 1 for both erosion control and no erosion control <br />condit ions. <br />
