| Abstract | Long Description |
Garfield WTP did not comply with its NPDES permit during a survey in October 1986. The plant exceeded the numerical limit and pollutant removal requirement for BOD. TSS was within its numerical limit, but did not meet the removal requirement. WTP effluent accounted for 70 percent of the flow in the upper reaches of Silver Creek and 20 percent at the creek mouth. Water quality violations in Silver Creek included depressed oxygen, excessive TSS, and toxic levels of un-ionized ammonia and total residual chlorine. Other stream sources include unknown sources above the discharge point and livestock wastes. Water quality in Silver Creek can be improved by eliminating direct discharge of the WTP to the creek, preventing livestock access, and eliminating the unknown upstream source. |
