. 1517 . Malta Federal Fish Hatchery NPDES #CO-0000582 WQMP I.D. No. LK-6 . The Malta Federal Fish Hatchery is controlled by the Depart- ment of the Interior. The acting manager at the time of the visit (March 1974) was Bill Swinehart with Mike Johnson as the maintenance man. The hatchery is located approximately 5 miles west-southwest of Leadville. The hatchery raises approximately 100,000 lbs of fish per year. The water is diverted from Rock Creek and flows through the fish ponds before being discharged back to Rock Creek. The discharge is between 0.5 and 1.0 mgd. No treatment is applied to the dis- charged \~ater. . . Matchless Estates NPDES # WQMP I.D. No. LK-7 . Matchless Estates is a subdivision located approximately 0.8 miles west of Leadville. The subdivision has approximately 40 homes with an estimated population of 140. . The sewage treatment facilities consist of a single facultative non-aerated lagoon. The lagoon was originally designed for 35 homes. The county commission has passed a restraining order against further development at this subdivision. The unlined lagoon discharges intermittently to a dry creek. Since evapora- tion can account for only 10-15% of the annual sewage influent quantities, the majority of the flow is either discharged or percolated. . Molly Brown Village NPDES #CO-0029637 WQf1P L D. No. LK-8 . The Molly Brown Village is owned by Jim Lee1inger and is managed by Mr. & Mrs. Lyle Farver. It is located approximately 1 mile northlof Leadville. At the time of the visit (November 1974), there were 55 mobile homes on site. . The sewage treatment facilities consist of a septic tank and la- goon connected in series. The lagoon was made of highly per- vious materials and as a result the sewage depth is about one foot. If the bottom of the lagoon becomes sealed, it would ap- pear that the lagoon would not adequately treat the estimated flows. 11 .
