FOREWORD
This report includes and updates all data presented in a preliminary
report entitled, Ammonia Toxicity Study in the Colorado River Near Grand
Junction, Colorado, which was issued in April 1979. Data management and
analysis for this report are identical to that in the preliminary report
with one refinement: time adjustments for un-ionized ammonia were recal-
culated on the basis of the trend in diurnal temperature fluctuations ob-
served during the course of the study instead of solely on the basis of
winter intensive survey results. This report extends the analysis from
the preliminary report. Historical water quality data are compared to
the data collected during the 13-month study to determine representative
river conditions. These representative conditions, together with the rec-
ommended instream ammonia criterion, enable the calculation of allowable
ammonia loadings.
A meeting was held on 18 December 1979 at the Region VIII Office of
the Environmental Protection Agency to discuss the preliminary results of
this study. The following agencies were represented: U.S. Fish and Wild-
life Service; Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality Control Divi-
sion; Colorado Division of Wildlife; Henningson Durham & Richardson; City
of Grand Junction; U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and Engineering-
Science. The applicability of the 0.02 mg/A un-ionized ammonia criterion
was discussed. It was pointed out by the representative of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service that fish toxicity bioassay studies are now underway
to verify the applicability of this criterion. The Colorado Department
of Health representative indicated that his department would probably uti-
lize the 0.06 mg/fc criterion for warm water fishery protection in issuing
a permit for the Grand Junction treatment plant, pending further bioassay
results on fish similar to those deemed to be threatened and endangered.
A study of nonpoint sources of ammonia into the Colorado River is also
currently in progress.

TERMINOLOGY AND ASSUMPTIONS
The terminology used in this report for the chemistry of ammonia
follows the convention used in Ammonia Toxicity (W. Willingham, 1976).
Thus, "ionized ammonia" describes the chemical species NH^ , and "un-
ionized ammonia" describes NH3. "Total ammonia" or "ammonia" describes
the sum of both forms (NH^+ -1- NHj) . For all three forms, ionized, un-
ionized and total ammonia, concentrations are expressed as mg/?. NH^-N.
For the purpose of this survey and report, it is accepted and as-
sumed that 0.02 mg/& as N is the highest concentration of un-ionized am-
monia that will assure safety to the endangered fish species of concern.
While this assumption may be questioned for certain conditions, use of
a criterion is necessary to establish allowable ammonia loadings and has
no bearing on the representative background conditions determined from
the results of this survey.

SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Near the western border of the State of Colorado, the Colorado River
is the habitat of four threatened and endangered fish species as well as
the receiving water course for wastewater effluent from the cities of
Grand Junction and Fruita. The major population center for Western Col-
orado, Grand Junction is part of the productive agricultural region known
as the Grand Valley. Located nearby are large deposits of oil-bearing
shale formations which, if developed as an energy resource, could lead
to tremendous population growth before the end of the century. Yet wheth-
er or not oil shale is developed, projected increases in wastewater flows
indicate that ammonia concentrations in the reach of the river between
Grand Junction and Fruita may exceed levels toxic to fish and other aqua-
tic life, further imperiling the endangered fishes. Development of oil
shale resources and the resultant population increase could greatly in-
tensify the problem.
These predictions for ammonia concentrations, identified in the Wa-
ter Quality Management Plan, Colorado River Basin, are based on the esti-
mated background quality of the river as well as on the projected waste-
load. However, the background quality fluctuates seasonally; at certain
times of the year, the background conditions are likely to lead to toxic
levels of un-ionized ammonia, but at other times, they are not. Late
summer, usually August and September, when the river flow is lowest, is
-------
the most critical period for potential ammonia toxicity problems. Thus,
it has been proposed that ammonia wasteload allocations for the Grand
Junction and Fruita wastewater treatment facilities be established on a
seasonal rather than a yearly basis. This would avoid the unrealistic
and costly "worst-case" condition and at the same time provide year-
round protection for the endangered fishes.
The purpose of this study is to determine representative seasonal
background conditions in this reach of the Colorado River on the basis
of an intensive monitoring program and a review of the historical data.
These conditions can then be used to establish seasonal allowable waste-
loads which are not expected to cause harm to the threatened and endan-
gered fish species. Both Grand Junction and Fruita are in the process
of upgrading and expanding their wastewater treatment facilities, and
the level of treatment—with or without ammonia control, seasonal or
otherwise—must ensure protection of these fishes before federal funding
can be granted.
Indigenous to this reach of the Colorado River, the four fish
species of immediate concern are: (1) Colorado River squawfish,
Ptychocheilus lucius; (2) humpback chub, Gila cypha; (3) humpback
sucker, Xyrauchen texanus; and (4) bonytail chub, Gila elegans. The
first two fishes are on the United States list of Endangered and
Threatened Wildlife and Plants, and all four are listed in the State
of Colorado document, "Endangered Animals Cooperative Agreement Ap-
plication; Legal Authority, Program Description and Proposed Research
and Management Plans" (November 1974).
SUMMARY
The monitoring program was designed to encompass one precipitation
cycle, or water year, beginning in September 1978 and continuing
through the end of September 1979. Water samples were taken weekly
at ten stations along the river and tributary washes, 35 sites alto-
gether including transect points. Samples were analyzed for pH, temp-
erature and total ammonia concentration, which were then used to cal-
culate the concentration of un-ionized ammonia. In addition, flow was
-------
gauged monthly at six of the stations. During the two months of low
summer flow, water sampling was increased to twice weekly and flow gaug-
ing increased to weekly. Figure 1 is a map of the study area which
shows the location of sampling stations; all collected data are presented
in Appendix A.
Historical data were analyzed to determine the representativeness
of the collected data (i.e., how typical were the survey results of con-
ditions for the study area). The historical data examined include:
(1) U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow data for 1960 to the pres-
ent; (2) water quality data from the Colorado Department of Health for
1968 to 1978; (3) treatment plant records for both Grand Junction and
Fruita for 1977 to 1979; and (4) data from the water quality management
plan, the 208 plan, the facilities plan and the predesign report.
Representative conditions were selected, in the perspective of his-
torical data, to describe a combination of conditions that would produce
conservative, but not necessarily worst-case, estimates 'Of monthly un-
ionized ammonia concentrations. Temperature, pH, and flow all showed
distinct seasonal patterns. The highest median value for each month was
selected as representative temperature and pH conditions. For flow, the
estimated seven-day low flow, to be expected once in ten years, was used.
Total ammonia concentrations did not exhibit a seasonal trend in either
the historical or the measured data. Therefore, the high median concen-
tration of 0.18 mg/A was used to depict representative background condi-
tions in this analysis.
From these representative conditions, maximum allowable discharge
of ammonia from the proposed Grand Junction treatment plant and from the
existing Fruita facility were calculated. These calculations are sum-
marized in Table 1.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
BACKGROUND
The River
Water quality standards and stream classification for the study
area are set by the Colorado Department of Health, Water Quality
Control Commission. In the vicinity of Grand Junction and Fruita,
the water quality for the main stem of the Lower Colorado River is
classified B?—suitable for warm water biota. The Colorado West Area
Council of Governments has identified "the protection of waters for
fish and wildlife...uses..[as] a major problem in the Lower Colorado
River," Specific water quality parameters in the Grand Junction area
which have exceeded state criteria, adopted in May 1979, include copper,
iron, mercury, zinc, phosphorus, alkalinity, fecal coliform, total sus-
pended solids, manganese, total dissolved solids, magnesium and pH.
The ammonia toxicity problem in this reach of the Colorado River
was identified in 1975 in Water Quality Management Plan. Colorado
River Basin (WQMP) , prepared for the Colorado Department of Health.
This plan was designed "to protect the quality of the Colorado River
and its tributaries from point source pollution discharges" and
examined the potential effects of projected wastewater flows for a
twenty-year planning period. In the Grand Junction and Fruita area,
it was found that ammonia concentrations in the Colorado River will
exceed the "safe" level by the year 1993 with or without the population
increases indicated by oil shale development. Recommendations were
made for ammonia reduction either by nitrification of the effluent
and/or by relocation of the discharge downstream where there would be
11
-------
additional dilution. Ammonia wasteload allocations were developed
for summer conditons in the critical reach immediately downstream
of Grand Junction. The maximum allowable ammonia wasteloads were
defined as 580 Ibs (260 kg) NH^-N/day using population projections
with oil shale development and 620 Ibs (280 kg) NH.j-N/day without oil
shale development. The WQMP also identifies this reach of the river
as "effluent limited" and recommends changing the classification to
"water quality limited" due to the high levels of ammonia. The plan
designated the Grand Junction wastewater treatment facilities as a
number 2 priority ranking for funding and the Fruita facilities as
number 4.
The Grand Junction Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Discharges
Prepared the same year as the WQMP, Facilities Plan—Gity of
Grand Junction, Colorado, examined several alternatives for upgrading
wastewater treatment facilities to accomodate projected population
growth for a twenty-year planning period. The City is currently
o
served by a 22,000 m /d (5.7 mgd) trickling filter plant in town.
The population in the planning area was assumed to increase from
49,530 in 1974 to 119,000 in 1994. The recommended plan proposed to
modify the existing Grand Junction plant and to construct a new plant
9.5 km (6 mi) downstream which would discharge into Persigo Wash, an
irrigation-return channel tributary to the Colorado River. The new
3
plant would be a 25,000 m /d (6.7 mgd) activated sludge plant. Pro-
jected ammonia concentrations were calculated using this proposed
scheme. Due to numerous uncertainties about river conditions and am-
monia toxicity and the tremendous cost of ammonia control, such pro-
vision was not recommended. Thus, ammonia control was not included in
the facilities plan. The plan, however, recommended that the City
request "this segment of the river be reclassified or that exemption
for ammonia removal be given."
The following year (1976) EPA issued a Negative Declaration on
the proposed Grand Junction wastewater treatment facility. The
Negative Declaration indicated that environmental impacts of the
proposed project, including the level of un-ionized ammonia, would
not be significant. Although the project deviates from the WQMP with
respect to ammonia reduction, the Negative Declaration accepted the
12
-------
recommended plan with the following reasoning: the first phase of
construction can be accomplished with no significant environmental
impacts and can be done simultaneously with further study on the ammon-
ia toxicity problem. The sparsity of water quality data and the neces-
sity for further study precluded the decision requiring advanced waste-
water treatment (i.e. ammonia control).
A technical update of the Grand Junction facilities plan was pre-
pared in August 1977, entitled Predesign Report for Wastewater Treat-
ment Facilities and Interceptor Sewers. Water quality problems were
re-examined, and additional alternatives, including land application
methods, were evaluated. Land application systems were rejected due
to conflicting objectives for salinity control in the Colorado River
Basin and the high cost of protecting groundwater supplies. The
predesign report resulted in a recommendation to abandon the existing
treatment plant (which reached design capacity in 1979) and to build
3
a new 47,000 m /d (12.5 mgd) activated sludge plant at Persigo Wash.
Allowable summertime ammonia-nitrogen discharge concentrations, on
the basis of criteria developed in the WQMP, were re-calculated to be
1,170 Ibs/day (530 kg) at points downstream of Fersigo Wash, according
o
to the newly proposed scheme. In other words, about 34,000 m /d
(9 mgd) of secondary effluent could be discharged into the river with-
out ammonia control. These calculations were based on the assumption
that the background ammonia level during summer conditions would be
0.1 mg/£. Thus, again, costly ammonia control was found to be un-
necessary and was not included in the plant design.
In July 1978, EFA issued an Amendment to the Negative Declaration
on the Grand Junction project to address the changes presented in the
predesign report. The plan to phase out the existing plant and to
3
construct a new 47,000 m /d (12.5 mgd) activated sludge plant at
Fersigo Wash was found not to have significant environmental impact.
However, the issue of ammonia control was included in the Negative
Declaration as a condition to the grant such that "results of the
water quality study and other significant factors will determine if
ammonia control will or will not be necessary on this project". The
results of the study reported here are intended to answer this question.

The Fruita Wastewater Treatment Facilities and Discharges
Located 20 km (12.5 mi) downstream from Grand Junction, the Town
of Fruita has an existing population of 3,800 compared to Grand
Junction's population of 58,000. Although expected to increase nearly
three-fold by 1983, the population of Fruita, existing and projected,
is significantly smaller than that of Grand Junction. The town is
3
currently served by a 15,000 m /d (0.4 mgd) aerated lagoon system
which discharges into Little Salt Wash, an irrigation-return channel
tributary to the Colorado River.
Because Fruita is located directly downstream from Grand Junction,
the receiving water for Fruita's wastewater effluent is within the
habitat for the endangered fishes where ammonia wasteloads are
critical. Thus, the discharge of ammonia is a predominant environ-
mental issue which is discussed in the 201 Wastewater Treatment
Facilities Plan for Town of Fruita (September 1977) and the "Negative
Declaration" (July 14, 1978).
Fruita's 201 plan examined six alternative wastewater management
options and recommended expanding and upgrading the existing lagoon
o
system to 4,700 m /d (1.25 mgd) to meet secondary treatment standards.
Ammonia control was not included, with the rationale that if the
Grand Junction treatment plant reduces its discharge of ammonia, then
Fruita can meet water quality criteria with secondary treatment only.
The Negative Declaration indicated that the environmental impact of
the proposed project would not be significant. However, similar to
the Amendment to Negative Declaration for Grand Junction, the Fruita
document includes a condition to grant which is dependent upon the same
"water quality study and other significant factors" to determine the
need for ammonia control. Results of the present study are intended to
satisfy this condition as well.
OTHER WATER QUALITY STUDIES NEAR GRAND JUNCTION
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
During 18 to 21 October 1976, the Technical Investigations Branch
of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region VIII, conducted an
14
-------
intensive water quality study of a segment of the Colorado River near
the Grand Junction Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The purpose of the
study was "to determine the existing in-situ concentrations of ammonia
in the Colorado River due to the discharge from the Grand Junction STP
during low-flow conditions." Results of this study indicated that tox-
ic concentrations of un-ionized ammonia exist in the Colorado River down-
stream from the plant and that a 73 percent reduction in ammonia dis-
charge from the plant may be necessary. However, the time of this study
occurred nearly three months after the low-flow period. Because of this
delay, extensive additional study during actual low-flow conditions was
recommended to verify the conclusions of this study. In addition, a
long-term monitoring program was deemed necessary to obtain a more com-
plete understanding of the ammonia toxicity problem.
Colorado Department of Health - Water Quality Control Division
Water quality investigations were conducted on the Lower Colorado
River from October 1973 through September 1974. Chemical, bacteriolog-
ical and biological data were obtained at 23 sampling stations along
222 km (139 mi) of the river from Dotsero, Colorado to the Utah border.
Four of the stations are within the study area between Grand Junc-
tion and Fruita. All sampling at these stations occurred during the win-
ter when water temperatures ranged between 0° and 1°C, and pH generally
2
ranged between 8.0 and 8.4. The flow ranged between 153 and 156 m /s
(5400 and 5500 cfs). Four samples taken in December and January were
analyzed for ammonia, and no ammonia was detected.
On 16 and 19 September 1974, water samples were taken at the Grand
Avenue Bridge and the Fruita Bridge. Temperatures ranged from 15°C to
18°C, and pH from 8.1 to 8.3. Only one sample was analyzed for ammonia,
and again, no ammonia was detected.
Salinity Studies
In the immediate area of Grand Junction, extensive research is cur-
rently being conducted to study salt loading to the Colorado River. The
U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, EPA, University of California at Davis, Col-
orado State University, and local irrigation and water companies are
engaged in several projects to examine salinity sources and control
15
-------
measures near Grand Junction. Although not directly related to this
study, the additional field information is enlarging the local water
quality data base which may relate to upstream nonpoint sources of
ammonia.
AMMONIA TOXICITY
Ammonia is an important nutrient present in all aquatic ecosystems
and may be used directly by plants or may be converted to nitrate before
uptake. It is a normal biological product from the degradation of pro-
teins and is usually present in low concentrations. High concentrations
of ammonia often occur in municipal wastewater effluent, industrial dis-
charges, and agricultural runoff which are discharged into surface wa-
ters. High levels of ammonia in these waters can cause harmful effects
such as increased oxygen demand, algal bloom formation resulting in de-
pressed nighttime dissolved oxygen concentrations, corrosiveness to cop-
per pipes and a measurable toxic effect to many aquatic species.
In 1973, the European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission deter-
mined that fishes were the critical organisms for establishing instream
ammonia criteria. Toxicity tests on freshwater fishes have shown that
tolerance to ammonia appears to differ for various species of fishes for
short periods of exposure to high concentrations. For long-term expo-
sure, however, it is believed that sublethal concentrations of ammonia
affect different fishes similarly. Studies have shown that the ultimate
response to a given concentration of un-ionized ammonia is the same for
trout and carp. Thus, a single criterion appears adequate for all spe-
cies of freshwater fishes and other aquatic life (Ball 1967 as sited in
Willingham 1976, and European Inland Advisory Commission 1973). Both
the National Water Quality Laboratory and the European Inland Fisheries
Advisory Commission have recommended that for freshwater aquatic life,
un-ionized ammonia should not exceed 0.02 rag/J, NH3-N (W. Willingham,
1976).
In aqueous solution, ammonia exists in two forms—the ionized
(NH^) and the un-ionized (N^) species. Studies have shown the un-
ionized species to be the predominant toxic agent to aquatic life. Rel-
ative concentrations of the two forms are highly dependent on pH and
16
-------
temperature. The un-ionized fraction increases with rising pH and with
rising temperature. Other parameters, such as free carbon dioxide, dis-
solved oxygen and bicarbonate alkalinity, which are all interactive with
pH, affect the toxic effect of ammonia, though to a lesser extent than
pH or temperature. To a point, increasing salinity or ionic strength
tends to decrease ammonia toxicity, though this too is of lesser impor-
tance than pH or temperature.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has recommended a criter-
ion for un-ionized ammonia concentration of 0.02 mg/£ NH3~N as the "safe"
limit for freshwater aquatic life. In this study, this limit is used
together with representative background conditions to calculate allowable
discharges of ammonia from the Grand Junction and Fruita treatment facil-
ities. Two exceptions to this criterion should be noted. In waters
with temperatures less than 5°C, there is additional physiological stress
on fishes which reduces their ability to resist toxic effects of ammonia
(European Inland Fisheries Advisory Commission, 1973). In addition, at
high pH values and very low levels of free carbon dioxide, "the levels
of un-ionized ammonia found to be toxic may be about five times greater
than those applicable to polluted waters where the level of free carbon
dioxide is likely to be high and the pH value lower" (European Inland
Fisheries Advisory Commission, 1973). In this report, pH values greater
than 8.5 are considered high. Provision for these exceptions are in-
cluded in the calculations and presented in the discussion of results.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of this study is to gather specific water quality
data for an entire water year so that discharge requirements for
the Grand Junction and Fruita wastewater treatment facilities can be
established which will achieve an instream concentration of un-ioniz-
ed ammonia no greater than 0.02 mg/£ NH_-N. The specific water quality
data measured are temperature, pH, total ammonia and flow. These data
are used together with historical data to determine background con-
centrations of un-ionized ammonia statistically representative of the
study area for each season of the year. From this determination of
instream conditions, the mass loading of total ammonia from the two
17
-------
treatment facilities is calculated such that the concentration of un-
ionized ammonia in the river will not exceed 0.02 mg/Jl NH-j-N.
APPROACH
The monitoring program is designed to encompass one precipitation
cycle, or water year, beginning in September 1978 and continuing through
the end of September 1979. This provides a continuous record of water
quality data which can be compared to historical data to determine how
representative the 1978-79 season is of average conditions. The moni-
toring program consists of four components: (1) dye tracer study, (2)
intensive surveys, (3) water quality sampling, and (4) flow determina-
tion. The first two components are discussed in detail in Appendices D
and E. The last two components, which form the bulk of the study, are
presented in Section 3.
Dye Tracer Study
The initial task of the project is to inject a bio-degradable fluo-
rescent dye into Persigo and Little Salt washes to determine mixing pat-
terns in the Colorado River during summer low-flow conditions. The lo-
cations of the dye injections are approximately the proposed sites for
future wastewater discharge from Grand Junction and the current site for
wastewater discharge from Fruita. The dissolved dye can be reasonably
assumed to simulate the behavior of ammonia present in wastewater efflu-
ent, and the result in mixing characteristics can be used to predict the
dilution pattern of ammonia in the river. The results of this study are
used to select the exact locations of the sampling sites for the 13-month
monitoring program.
Intensive Surveys
Diurnal variations of the concentration of un-ionized ammonia in
the river are established by frequent water sampling throughout the
course of one day at critical locations. These repeated samplings, or
intensive surveys, are performed twice during the monitoring program—
once each during the summer and winter low-flow periods—to look for
correlations as well as to determine seasonal differences in the diurnal
patterns. Results from the intensive surveys are used to adjust all
18
-------
un-ionized ammonia determinations made during the 13-month study period
to one reference time. This time adjustment helps validate comparisons
between sampling events, regardless of what time of day the sampling
occurred.
Water Quality Sampling
Water quality sampling is conducted weekly for 13 months to measure
pH, temperature and total ammonia concentration at ten stations along
the Colorado River and its tributary washes. At the river stations, sev-
eral samples are obtained along a transect, resulting in a total of 35
sampling sites. Locations of the ten stations are shown in Figure 1,
and the transect points for Stations 3, 5, 7 and 10 are shown in Figures
2 and 3. The sampling stations and the reasons for their locations are
described as follows:
Station 1 Colorado River on the West Side of the Grand
Avenue Bridge in Grand Junction, 0.4 km (0.2 mi)
Upstream from the Existing Sewage Treatment
Plant—Six sampling points were employed across
a transect beneath arches in the bridge. This
station serves as the control for background
conditions without any influence of the treat-
ment plant.
Station 2 Effluent from the Grand Junction Treatment
Plant during Hours of Peak Flow (10:00 am and
2:00 pm)—This sample provides an accurate
measure of effluent quality at the time of
sampling.
Station 3 Colorado River Just Upstream of Persigo Nash,
9.5 km (5.9 mi) Downstream from Grand Junction
Treatment Plant—Three sampling points are
located across a transect at 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4
points across the river. Effects from the
treatment plant should be fully mixed at this
distance downstream, and samples show back-
ground river conditions without effects of
Persigo Wash.
Station 4 Persigro Wash 15 to 30 Metres (45 to 90 ft)
from Confluence with Colorado River, Proposed
Receiving Water Course for Future Regional
Treatment Plant—One sample taken at the cen-
ter of the stream represents the quality of
agricultural runoff as well as background
quality of receiving water.

Station 5 Colorado River Downstream from Persigo Wash
and Pritchard Wash, at Upstream End of Mid-
River Island—Six sampling points are locat-
ed across a transect in north channel at 3-m
(10-ft) intervals from the north bank; a
seventh sample is taken from north side of
south channel. The transect samples show
effects of wash water across the river
width as well as difference in water qual-
ity between the two channels.
Station 6 Effluent from the Fruita Lagoon System—This
sample will provide a measure of quality at
the time of sampling.
Station 7 Colorado River Just Upstream of Little Salt
Wash (Receiving Water Course for Fruita
Lagoon System)—Four sampling points are
located across a transect at 1/4, 1/2 and
3/4 points on the east channel, and a fifth
point is located in the center of the west
channel. Samples show background river con-
ditions without the effects of Little Salt
Wash and Fruita discharges.
Station 8 Little Salt Wash, About 50 Metres (150 ft)
Upstream from the Discharge from Fruita
Lagoon System—One sample taken at center
of stream represents the background qual-
ity of receiving water.
Station 9 Colorado River, 0.8 km (0.5 mi) Downstream
of Little Salt Wash and Just Upstream from
Big Salt Wash—Six smpling points are
located across a transect, four at 3-m
(10-ft) intervals from the north bank, one
at mid-river and one at 3/4 of the river
width from the north bank. The transect
samples show effects of Fruita discharge
and Little Salt Wash across the river width.
Station 10 Colorado River, 0.2 km (0.12 mi) Downstream
from Big Salt Wash—Five samplings points
are located across a transect, three at 3-m
(10 ft) intervals from north bank, one at
mid-river and one at 3/4 of the river width
from the north bank. This station, located
the farthest downstream of all stations, is
where mixing from Big Salt Wash is occurring,
and effluent from the treatment plants is
fully mixed with the river water.
22
-------
During the regular monitoring program, sampling is conducted on
Monday afternoon of each week, whenever possible. During the two in-
tensive surveys, the regular weekly sampling at Stations 3, 4, 5, 7, 8
and 9 is suspended to avoid duplication. For two months during the sum-
mer, August and September, sampling frequency increases to twice per
week to provide more data during the critical low-flow period.
Flow Determination
Streamflow is determined by measuring stream velocity and cross-
section area at two river sites and two tributary sites monthly. The
sites include the Broadway Bridge (also referred to as Grand Avenue
Bridge) across the Colorado River at Grand Junction, Station 1, and the
State Highway 340 Bridge across the Colorado River near Fruita, 1.7 km
(1 mi) upstream of Station 7. Persigo Wash, Station 4, is gauged at a
site downstream of Interstate 70, and Little Salt Wash, Station 8, is
gauged at a site under the Highway 6 Bridge. In addition, flows from
the two treatment facilities, Stations 2 and 6, are measured using exist-
ing gauges.

METHODS, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
METHODS OF WATER SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Sample Collection
Water samples were collected by submerging and filling plastic
sample bottles, about 30 cm (1 ft) below the surface of the water.
Clean sample bottles were rinsed several times with river water before
filling to minimize contamination. Care was taken to avoid collecting
any debris floating in the water.
At most sampling sites, the river was shallow enough to allow
sample collection by wading. For these stations, the sampling point
could be accurately relocated by pacing between points. Sites sampled
by wading included Stations 1A through IF, 2, 4, 5A through 5G, 6, 7D,
8, and 10A through IOC. All other sampling sites required access by
boat. These were Stations 3A through 3C, 7A through 7C, 9A through 9F
and 10D through 10E. For these sites, the length of the boat was used
to measure distance between sampling points. Samples were collected
from the forward part of the boat to prevent contamination from the
motor. The type of boat employed was a 10-ft fiberglas, twin-hull
fishing boat powered by a 10 HP outboard motor.
27
-------
Sample Analysis
Temperature
Thermometers, calibrated biannually with a National Bureau of
Standards Certified Thermometer, were placed in plastic protective
casings to avoid breakage. Temperature readings were made immediately
following collection of individual samples, either while wading or
from the boat. After allowing time for the thermometers to equilibrate,
readings were made to the nearest 0.1°C.
Each week, immediately following collection of all samples, pH
values were measured using a Weston and Stack portable pH meter. The
meter was calibrated with standard buffer solutions of pH 7.00 and
10.00 which were thermally equilibrated with the samples. Calibration
with the buffer solution was repeated several times during each set of
measurements to check for any drift in the meter. Readings were taken
to the nearest 0.1 pH unit.
Ammonia-Nitrogen
For all river and wash samples, concentration of ammonia was de-
termined using the direct nesslerization method; effluent samples were
analyzed using distillation followed by nesslerization to ensure accu-
rate measurements at higher ammonia concentrations.
After the pH determination, samples were acidified with sulfuric
acid and, when possible, refrigerated until analyzed for ammonia. It
was originally planned to analyze the samples in the field using a
Bausch and Lomb m-spec 20 spectrophotometer. However, the quality of
distilled water available in the field was highly variable and produced
inconsistencies in recovery rates and spiked and duplicate samples.
Consequently, most of the samples were analyzed in the Engineering-
Science Research and Development Laboratory.
Ammonia analyses were conducted according to procedures in
Standard Method 418B. To ensure the reliability of the results, three
recovery analyses were performed with each set of samples. The recover
ies were done over a wide range of concentrations — 12.2, 36.6, 61.0 yg
28
-------
so that the most accurate value of precision may be determined. Occa-
sionally a sample was analyzed in duplicate, again to demonstrate the
precision of the analysis. When the sample volume of 50 mJl exceeded
the range of the standards, the sample was diluted to 2 m£ in 50 m£. Re-
covery rates generally ranged between 95 and 105 percent.
Due to the nature of the water samples, a high turbidity was often
encountered. To remove extraneous particles, ZnS(>4 was used as a floc-
culating agent. As the samples were preserved with dilute acid, 4 m£ of
6N NaOH had to be added before the precipitation process would occur.
The samples were then filtered, and 50 mil of filtrate retained for anal-
ysis. Depending on the turbidity of the water, numerous filtrations
were often required.
The greatest source of error was undetected colloidal particles
which would increase the apparent NH3 value when measurements were made
on the spectrophotometer. To avoid this, the sample concentrations for
about 10 percent of the samples were determined using nessler tubes in-
stead of the spectrophotometer.
RESULTS OF WATER QUALITY SAMPLING
Water quality sampling began on 8 September 1978 and continued there-
after on a weekly basis until 29 September 1979. Collected data are pre-
sented chronologically in Appendix A. Time of sampling, measured temper-
ature, pH and concentration of total ammonia are given together with cal-
culated concentrations of un-ionized ammonia and time-adjusted un-ionized
ammonia. Missing data are due to one of two reasons: (1) sample was
lost or damaged in transit; or (2) sampling point was not accessible be-
cause of legal problems, mud, ice, or boat failure.
Un-ionized ammonia concentrations in the river exceeding the recom-
mended EPA criterion of 0.02 mg/£, NH-j-N are denoted with asterisks—one
asterisk for samples with pH greater than 8.5 (to indicate situations of
less potential toxicity) and two asterisks for samples with pH less than
8.5. This distinction is noted because at pH greater than 8.5, if there
is little free carbon dioxide in the water, the tolerance of fishes to
un-ionized ammmonia appears to increase (Eur. Inland Fisheries Adv. Comm.,
1973).
29
-------
Calculations of un-ionized ammonia concentration are based on the
relationship described in Ammonia Toxicity by Willingham. In solution,
un-ionized ammonia exists in equilibrium with ionized ammonia and the
hydroxide ion as follows:
NH3(g) + nH20(£) ^ NH3-nH20(aq) ^ NH4+ + OH~ + (n-l)H20(Jl)
The relative concentrations of the two forms of ammonia are determined
by the following relationship:
K _ „ (Cone, un-ionized ammonia)
a ^* (Cone, ionized ammonia)(Cone, hydroxide ion)
where Ka and ^ are constants dependent on temperature. The concentra-
tion of un-ionized ammonia is then computed from the following formula:
(Cone, un-ionized ammonia) = (Cone, total ammonia)
1 + antilog (pKa-pH)
Thus, only temperature, pH and total ammonia figure in the calculations
of un-ionized ammonia concentration. Other factors, such as ionic
strength and paired ion species are considered minor and assumed negli-
gible in the calculation. The activity coefficient is assumed to be
1.0 in all calculations. One exception to the use of this formula is at
temperatures less than 5.0°C, un-ionized ammonia is calculated at 5.0°C
rather than at the actual temperature. This is because of the additional
stress to fishes induced by lower temperatures (European Inland Fisheries
Advisory Commission, 1973).
Time adjusted un-ionized ammonia concentration is determined on the
basis of the diurnal trend in temperature observed during the winter in-
tensive survey as well as during the weekly sampling. Measured tempera-
tures were adjusted to the worst-case time of day, usually about 3 p.m.;
measure pH and total ammonia, which showed no specific trends, were un-
changed. Concentrations of un-ionized ammonia were then calculated us-
ing the adjusted temperature, measured total ammonia and measured pH.
All calculations were performed on the Engineering-Science digital
computer.

DISCUSSION OF WATER QUALITY RESULTS
Spatial Correlation of Un-Ionized Ammonia
River Width
Relative data for all transect points of the river stations were
examined for predominating effects caused by proximity to the banks,
such as depth of water, sediments or runoff. In nearly all cases, pH
and temperature remained consistent for all transects. As expected,
the temperature at sampling points closer to the banks, where the river
is more shallow, is warmer in the summer and cooler in the winter than
at points closer to mid-river. Values of pH across a transect are
usually constant and vary, if at all, by only a few tenths of a pH unit.
Concentrations of total and un-ionized ammonia, on the other hand,
show no apparent correlation with distance from the river banks. For
any transect, the location of the highest ammonia concentration varies
erratically from week to week, sometimes occuring next to the bank and
at other times occuring in mid-stream. This random distribution of
ammonia indicates the absence of any point sources within the study area
or immediately upstream. Apparently, neither Persigo Wash nor Little
Salt Wash exert an influence on the ammonia concentration of downstream
sampling points. Similarly, mid-river islands exert little direct ef-
fect on ammonia levels.
Because of this lack of correlation, all sampling points on one
transect for one sampling event were treated as replicates. Thus, the
range of un-ionized ammonia concentrations was plotted for each station,
and the median concentration* was used to represent most accurately the
data for that transect.
River Distance
Un-ionized ammonia concentrations are correlated with river distance
by using Station 1 (Grand Avenue Bridge) as a reference point. Concen-
trations of un-ionized ammonia at downstream stations are then plotted
as a function of river distance from Station 1 for each month of the
*Median, rather than mean concentration, is used because the data from
any given sampling event are not necessarily normally distributed.
31
-------
study. These relationships, depicted in Figures 4 through 16, are de-
termined for the six river stations by the range and median values of
un-ionized ammonia concentrations of all sampling events in each month.
In general, un-ionized ammonia concentrations remained fairly con-
stant along the 20-km reach of the river throughout the course of the
study. With the exceptions of September and October 1978, un-ionized am-
monia concentration varied by less than 0.003 mg/JL among the stations.
During the spring months of April, May and June 1979, NH3~N was most
notably constant along the river. During September and October of 1978,
not only a decreasing trend in un-ionized ammonia concentrations was
observed from upstream to downstream stations but also the highest median
values of NH-j-N in the entire study period occured. During September
1978, median values of un-ionized ammonia concentration exceeded the
0.02 mg/fc criterion at Stations 1, 3 and 7 and indicated a significant
diluting effect by the washes immediately downstream.
Effects of increased ammonia concentrations from the wastewater
discharges at Grand Junction and Fruita are not apparent in the river
profiles of un-ionized ammonia levels. The only dramatic increases,
observed only a few times during the study period, appear to be due to
inflow from Persigo and Big Salt washes.
Temporal Correlations of Un-ionized Ammonia
Weekly fluctuations in un-ionized ammonia concentration were plotted
for the study period using the range and median values at transect points
for the river stations and the single values for the washes and wastewater
discharges. Figures 17 through 26 show these fluctuations for the ten
sampling stations. Tremendous variation from week to week is evident
in the river and wash samples, with frequent ten-fold and occasional
fifty-fold changes occuring from one sampling event to another.
A seasonal trend is evident for the six river stations, despite the
weekly fluctuations. In general, the high levels of un-ionized ammonia,
approaching 0.01 mg/fc, appear to occur during late August and early
September, and the low levels, about 0.001 mg/£, in June and early July.
Not surprisingly, these trends corresponded respectively with the lowest
and highest flows in the river. Following this generalized trend, a
secondary "peak" in un-ionized ammonia concentrations, about 0.05 mg/il,

appeared to occur in January and February. This, too, seems to corre-
spond with a secondary low flow period. These seasonal trends are high-
ly generalized, and as observed in the measured range, can be easily ob-
scured by the short-term fluctuations.
Ammonia concentrations at Persigo and Little Salt washes did not
show a seasonal pattern. Un-ionized ammonia concentrations generally
ranged between 0.001 and 0.01 mg/£ throughout the study period for both
washes. Median concentrations for the two washes were nearly identical
with 0.0035 mg/£ for Persigo Wash and 0.0030 mg/£ for Little Salt Wash.
At the two wastewater discharges, the un-ionized ammonia concentra-
tions reflected a difference in treatment method. The Grand Junction
effluent ranged between 0.008 and 1.2 mg/Jl un-ionized ammonia during the
study period; for the discharge from Fruita, the un-ionized ammonia con-
centration ranged from 0.001 to 2.3 mg/&. The median values for the two
discharges were 0.049 mg/Jl and 0.110 mg/Jl, respectively.
METHOD OF FLOW DETERMINATIONS
Monthly streamflow measurements were made for the months of Septem-
ber 1978 through July 1979, and weekly measurements were made 14 August
1979 through 26 September 1979. Severe ice and slush conditions pre-
vented gauging on 11 December 1978 and 15 January 1979. Flow from the
Grand Junction Wastewater Treatment Plant was noted weekly from an out-
flow meter outside of the plant. Outfall discharges from the Fruita
Sewage Lagoon was determined by monthly stage data and by the rating
curve for the existing V-notch weir.
Measurements for the Colorado River at the Broadway Bridge (also
referred to as Grand Avenue Bridge) at Grand Junction were made on the
upstream side of the bridge. Measurements for the Colorado River at the
State Highway 340 Bridge near Fruita were made on the downstream side on
7 September and 10 October 1978. Thereafter, measurements were made
from the upstream side because of eddy problems at the downstream side
caused by bridge piers.
Equipment being used to measure velocity includes a Price current
meter, a Price Pigmy meter, a top setting rod, a hand line, and a crane
56
-------
and reel mounted on a two-wheel base. Where conditions permitted, vel-
ocity measurements were made by wading, using the top setting rod. This
approach was utilized for the two washes, and the Colorado River near the
Broadway Bridge during low-flow periods. Where depths and/or velocities
were too great, measurements were made by suspending the flow meter from
a cable from bridges. This was necessary for measurements of the Colo-
rado River at the Broadway Bridge during higher flows and at the State
Highway 340 Bridge near Fruita.
RESULTS OF FLOW DETERMINATIONS
Streamflow measurements at the two river stations, the two washes,
and the Fruita Lagoon Outfall are summarized in Tables 2a and 2b. Table
3 summarized the effluent discharges of the Grand Junction Wastewater
Treatment Plant. Variation of flows over the thirteen-month study per-
iod are graphically depicted in Figures 27 through 31. As a comparison,
Tables B.la and B.lb in Appendix B show results of flow determinations
and presently available USGS flows for their gauges near the study area.
DISCUSSION OF FLOW DETERMINATIONS
Figures 29 and 30 illustrate how Fersigo Wash and Little Salt Wash
flows vary throughout the year. Measurements conducted 15 May 1979
indicate relatively high runoff rates. Persigo Wash averages approxi-
mately 0.12 m-Vs (4.2 cfs) during the months of November through April,
and Little Salt Wash averages 0.22 m3/s (7.8 cfs) for the same period.
After the high runoff measurements of May, the normal irrigation season
flows for the two washes average 1.35 and 2.16 m3/s (47.6 and 76.4 cfs),
respectively. Throughout the study period, the Grand Junction discharge,
measured during hours of peak flow, averaged a relatively constant 0.282
m3/s (9.90 cfs or 6.4 mgd), and the Fruita Lagoon outfall averaged a rel-
atively constant 0.015 m3/s (0.54 cfs).
In late September 1978, staff gauges were installed at each of
the flow measurement sites. The stage and discharge information were
combined to form the rating curves for each site, shown on Figures B.I
through B.8, which are included in Appendix B. During the course of the

study, some of the staff gauges were relocated due to problems with
backwater obscuring accurate stage levels. After 15 May 1979, staff
gauge readings on the Colorado River were not possible because high
flows covered the gauges. Sometime during the high flow period, these
gauges were lost. Analysis of the rating curves indicates a defined
relation between stage and discharge for each site.

SECTION 4
HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE ON
REPRESENTATIVE CONDITIONS IN COLORADO RIVER
NEAR GRAND JUNCTION
Historical data examined for the calculation of representative con-
ditions include water quality data from the Colorado Department of Health
from 1968 to 1978 and U.S. Geological Survey from 1960 to the present.
Representative conditions were selected, in the perspective of historical
data, to describe a combination of conditions that would produce conser-
vative, but not necessarily worst-case, estimates of monthly un-ionized
ammonia concentrations.
WATER QUALITY
Water quality data for three stations on the Colorado River in the
vicinity of the study area were retrieved from STORET, EPA's nationwide
computerized storage-retrieval system for a vast array of information on
the quality of various waterways. The three stations are located near
Cameo, about 28 km (18 mi) upstream of Grand Junction; near Fruita; and
near Loma, about 8 km (5 mi) downstream of Fruita. For all three stations,
approximately three to ten data points are available for each year from
1968 to 1978, with one exception. At the station near Loma, 18 to 36 data
points are available from 1974 to 1977. The range and median values of
temperature, pH and total ammonia for these stations for each month of the
year are reproduced in Table 4. In Figures 32,33 and 34, monthly median
values for these three parameters for the station near Loma are used to

represent the historical data because this station has the most histori-
cal data available. On the same three figures, corresponding monthly
median values of the same parameters, determined from over 2,000 samples
measured near Grand Junction and Fruita during this study, are also
presented.
Temperature
A distinct seasonal pattern is observed for the three stations, as
shown on Figure 32. The pattern, for historical data near Loma, is very
closely followed by data obtained near Grand Junction and Fruita. A
smooth, generalized curve, drawn through the historical data and the
1978-79 data, is used to represent typical river temperature conditions
for the projection of future conditions and computations of un-ionized
ammonia concentration. At times when river temperatures fall below 5°C,
the representative temperature is assumed to be 5°C for the purposes of
this study.*
The seasonal pattern of variation of pH in the river, shown on Fig-
ure 33 for 1978-79, was not similar to that of the historical record.
The difference is both in the trends and values . Previous years ' rec-
orded median pH values seem to be generally higher and more or less con-
sistent throughout the year, about 8.3. (It should be noted that the
historical data include pH values which are unusually high, with several
values greater than 9.0 and as high as 9.4 in one instance.) By contrast,
the 1978-79 pattern was distinctly seasonal. During the warm months, pH
was generally lower, reaching a minimum of 7.3. The greatest difference
between historical and 1978-79 values was one pH unit in June and July.
However, because the historical data are represented by the median of
15 data points and the 1978-79 data are represented by the median of
60 to 75 points for these months, it was decided that the 1978-79 data
would more accurately represent river conditions. A smooth curve was
drawn through the Grand Junction and Fruita data, which were in close
agreement. This curve was then used in subsequent computations for
monthly pH values.
*The reason for this decision is presented in Section 3.
74
-------
Total Ammonia
Total ammonia (NH3 and NH4+) is the most important background water
quality parameter measured for the purposes of this study. The monthly
medians for historical data are shown in Figure 34 for the three stations
for which data are available. Fluctuations in ammonia concentration are
relatively great for historical data, in comparison with the 1978-79 con-
ditions, although no seasonal trend is apparent in either case. Sporadi-
cally anomalous and high values (such as 0.6, 0.9 and 1.0 mg/i) are en-
countered in both the historical and 1978-79 data. Otherwise, it appears
that the 1978-79 data were only slightly higher than the general trends
of the historical data. It would then appear that the conservative ap-
proach would be to use the 1978-79 generalizing background pattern for
un-ionized ammonia computations. Therefore, a straight line, at the 0.18
mg/Jl level is superimposed on Figure 34 to depict representative back-
ground conditions throughout the year.
FLOW
Table 5 summarizes pertinent streamflow information which is pub-
lished by the U. S. Geological Survey (USGS). Two gauges were once
located within the study area. They are the Colorado River at Grand
Junction which was active from 1897 to 1899, and the Colorado River
near Fruita which was active from 1908 to 1923. Other historic infor-
mation is available for the Colorado River near Palisade, a short dis-
tance upstream, from 1902 to 1933. Three gauges in the vicinity of the
study area are presently maintained by the USGS. The Colorado River
near Cameo gauge, located approximately 39 km (24 miles) upstream from
Grand Junction has been in operation since 1931. The Colorado River
gauge near the Colorado-Utah state line has been in operation since
1951 and is located approximately 29 km (18 miles) downstream of Fruita.
The gauge on the Gunnison River near Grand Junction was operated from
1894 to 1895, 1901 to 1906, and 1916 to the present. Its location has
been changed a number of times. The longest overlapping period for the
three gauges in their present locations is April 1960 to the present.

-------
Representative Conditions—Low Flow Projections
Low flow projections can be made from statistical analysis of
streamflow data. Generally, the longer the period of record, the more
reliable the information obtained from statistical analyses.
A Pearson Log III type analysis was performed on the three existing
streamflow gauges utilizing the period April 1960 through the present.
Annual and monthly seven-day low flows were identified and ranked. The
Pearson Log III technique generates estimated seven-day low flow values
corresponding to specific probabilities. Included are the estimates for
the seven-day low flows to be expected once in ten years on the average.
This information is summarized on Tables 6a and 6b.
The gauge for the Colorado River at Cameo and the gauge for the
Gunnison River near Grand Junction are indicators of the amount of
water supply available upstream of the study area. The downstream
gauge on the Colorado River near the Utah state line is an indicator of
the amount of water which leaves the study area. It is believed to in-
clude the effects of all irrigation and power return flow within the
tributary area above it. In between the upstream and downstream gauges,
flows are affected by the amount of tributary area, and the amount of
surface diversions and/or return flow from irrigation and power genera-
tion. Just downstream of the Colorado River gauge near Cameo, but up-
stream of the study area, are major diversions for the Grand Valley
Project, which includes the Government Highline Canal, the Orchard Mesa
Project and some power generation. Just downstream of this diversion
is another major diversion for irrigation, the Grand Valley Canal.
Downstream from the gauge on the Gunnison River is a major diversion
for the Redlands Power Canal and irrigation project. The Redlands
diversion is shown on Figure 1.
Return flows from the power portion of the Grand Valley Project
diversions occur upstream of the study area, while irrigation return
flows occur upstream, within, and downstream of the study area. Return
flow from the power portion of the Redlands diversion on the Gunnison
River occurs within the project area as does the return flow attribut-
able to irrigation. Table 7 summarizes the average flows attributable

power, adjustments in tributary area and return flow were made to the
monthly seven-day low flow estimates for the downstream gauge riear the
state line. The monthly seven-day low flow estimates were expressed in
cfs per square mile of tributary area, and area adjustments were made for
each site by determining the difference in tributary area between the
site and the downstream gauge. Irrigation return flow was assumed to
be fifty percent of the average irrigation diversion. Analysis of
irrigation diversions indicate a surprisingly constant amount diverted
even during dry years. As an example, it was learned that during 1977,
a relatively dry year, additional outside power was purchased in order
to maintain the supply of irrigation water in the Redlands Project.
A large amount of water is diverted to generate power for pumping a
smaller amount of irrigation water to a higher elevation. The Orchard
Mesa Project works on a similar principle. Irrigation return flow was
assumed to be in proportion to the amount of irrigated acreage which
is tributary to the river within designated stretches. The return flow
for power development occurs as point inflow as does the Gunnison River.
Tables 8a and 8b summarize the computations and give the estimated
seven-day low flow to be expected once in ten years for the five sites
of interest in this study area.
To check the validity of the estimated seven-day low flow values
within this study area, additional area and return flow adjustments
were made to obtain the estimated seven-day low flow value for the
Colorado River gauge site at Cameo. This was compared with the seven-
day low flow value obtained from the Pearson Log III analysis. A re-
markably close agreement was achieved between the values derived from
the two methods. Monthly differences were expressed as a percentage
of the statistically-derived value for the Cameo gauge. The seven-day
low flow estimates derived from the downstream gauge varied from 10.3
percent lower to 31.3 percent higher than the statistically derived
values. The monthly percentages averaged 1.5 percent high. The months

of greatest variation occur In April and October, which happen to cor-
respond with the beginning and ending months of assumed irrigation. Fig-
ures 35 through 38 graphically illustrate the variation in estimated sev-
en-day low flow values to be expected once in ten years for the Colorado
River within the study reach.
For Stations 3 and 5, the study requires estimates of monthly sev-
en-day low flow values for the portion of the flow which would be con-
veyed in the north channel only. Figure 1 shows the island which divides
the river into north and south channels. On 13 March 1979, a river cross-
section was obtained of the north channel, and for the period from 15
January 1979 to 26 September 1979, river height measurements were taken.
A theoretical rating curve was derived for the north channel using the
Manning formula for open-channel flow, estimated roughness coefficients
and utilizing water surface slope as an estimate of energy gradient. The
cross-section and rating curve are on Figures B.6 and B.7 of Appendix B.
Utilizing the gauged flow data at the State Highway 340 Bridge near
Fruita, estimates of inflow and return flow and the north channel rating
curve, another curve was developed which relates the computed portion of
flow in the north channel to the estimated flow in the river. This curve
is shown in Figure B.8 in Appendix B. The data points define a smooth
relationship for Colorado River flows above 68 m3/s (2,400 cfs). The
bottom portion of the curve was estimated without benefit of actual data.
This curve was utilized along with the monthly estimates of seven-day low
flow for the whole river.to estimate the seven-day low flow values to be
expected once in ten years for all of the sites of interest in this study.

AMMONIA LOADING ALLOCATIONS

SECTION 5
AMMONIA LOADING ALLOCATIONS
This section presents the conclusions and recommendations arising
from the 13-month field survey described in earlier sections. These con-
clusions are based on the premise that to protect endangered and threat-
ened fishes in the study area, un-ionized ammonia concentrations must not
exceed 0.02 mg/Jl, on the average. Wide background fluctuations of ammonia
concentration were observed during the course of the study, including spor-
adically very high values far exceeding 0.02 mg/S, for brief periods. All
instances where this criterion was exceeded are especially marked in the
raw field data presented in Appendix A. The representative background
values determined in Section 4 for temperature, pH, total ammonia and
low flow were used to compute allowable loading of ammonia from the two
treatment plants. A sample of the computation procedures used for these
allocations is presented in Appendix C.
The summary of monthly representative background conditions and com-
puted un-ionized ammonia under those conditions is presented in Table 9.
For each month, a total ammonia concentration is computed that would be
in equilibrium with the 0.02 mg/«, un-ionized ammonia limit. Subtracting
this concentration from background ammonia concentration and multiplying
this by the seven-day low flow to be expected once in ten years gives
the maximum allowable discharge of ammonia from the treatment plants.
Calculations for the proposed Grand Junction treatment plant used
the seven-day low flow to be expected once in ten years estimated for

Station 5, the Colorado River downstream of Persigo Wash. In this
reach, two islands divide the river into two nearly distinct channels,
as shown in Figure 2. The allowable ammonia loading for low flow in
the north channel (where Persigo Wash enters the river), as well as
for low flow in the whole river, are shown in Tables lOa and lOb and
Figure 39. The corresponding allowable ammonia concentrations in the
wastewater discharge are computed based on the design flow of 47,000
o
m /d (12.5 mgd) and are shown in Table 11. Unless there is some mech-
anism for dispersing the effluent across the full width of the river,
loading allocations for flows in the north channel provide the safest
conditions for the endangered fishes.
For the Fruita discharge, flows for Station 9, the Colorado River
downstream of Little Salt Wash, are used to calculate maximum allow-
able ammonia loadings and concentrations, which are independent of the
allocations for Grand Junction. These quantities are also given in
Tables lOa, lOb and 11 and Figure 39. Computations were made assuming
the impact of the present Grand Junction discharges to be negligible
on the background ammonia concentrations.
For comparison, approximate monthly ammonia loadings during
1978-79 from the two treatment plants are presented in Table 12. Am-
monia discharges from the existing Grand Junction treatment plant were
well within the calculated allowable loadings (assuming that dilution
with the whole river is available) for all months except September,
when discharges exceeded the allowable loadings by about 70 kg/day
(150 Ib/day). It is important to note that this is a conservative
estimate since it is computed using an average daily flow based on
flow during peak hours. In the Fruita treatment facility, ammonia dis-
charges for all months were far below the allowable loading.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Maximum allowable wasteload allocations for both treatment facil-
ities vary dramatically, from highly restrictive quantities in the
September low-flow period to fairly high quantities during the rest of
the year. From these tabulations, it appears that discharge

allocations of ammonia should be made on a month-by-month basis. How-
ever, a generalized seasonal recommendation would be possible, if the
most restrictive allocations were to be applied to the adjacent months.
Thus, the seasonal allocations for Grand Junction would be: Summer
(August through October), 110 kg/day (240 Ib/day); Fall (November
through January), 1,400 kg/day (3,100 Ib/day); Winter (February through
April), 2,100 kg/day (4,600 Ib/day); and Spring (May through July),
2,600 kg/day (5,700 Ib/day). For Fruita, the corresponding ammonia
allocations would be: Summer, 160 kg/day (350 Ib/day); Fall, 2,200
kg/day (4,900 Ib/day); Winter, 3,100 kg/day (6,800 Ib/day); and Spring,
3,800 kg/day (8,400 Ib/day). It should be noted that these allocations
for the two treatment facilities are the maximum loading from either
facility that would result in an instream ammonia concentration of 0.02
mg/Jl. They are not recommended loadings; neither are they to be con-
sidered additive for Grand Junction and Fruita.
Another recommendation, equally important to safeguard fish from
the localized effects of discharge of the Grand Junction treatment plant
effluent, is use of diffuser outfalls for quick dispersal of ammonia
and its dilution across the whole river flowstream. Early in the study
period, the dye tracer study demonstrated that the river water mixes
rather slowly, and for long reaches, remains separated into varying
dilution zones. Therefore, if the treatment plant effluent was wholly
discharged into the northern channel of the river, it is possible that
high concentrations of ammonia would prevail in a narrow band along
the north bank, producing a potentially toxic zone for fish. Yet, none-
theless, the clear separation of the north channel from the rest of the
river implies the existence of a "safe" zone of passage—not affected
by the wastewater discharge—along the south channel.
99
-------
FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS
It is conceivable that further studies such as fish bioassays and
investigations of nonpoint source discharges will result in relaxation
of the presently recommended criterion of 0.02 mg/& un-ionized ammonia
for freshwater aquatic life. The analysis and allocations presented
in this report are wholly based on this criterion. If this standard
should be relaxed in the future, it would result in a dramatic in-
crease in allowable ammonia loadings to the river. For example, a
revision of the criterion to 0.06 mg/£ un-ionized ammonia will result
in loadings shown in Table 13. At these loadings, the wastewater
treatment facilities would not require ammonia control at any time of
the year. However, until further studies prove otherwise, there
should be provisions for ammonia control during the critical months of
the year to ensure year-round maximum protection of the threatened and
endangered fishes.
