Analysis of Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations and loads for selected 303(d) listed segments in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, 1991-2018 (ver. 3.0, August 2021)
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Grand Valley Drainage District and the Colorado Water Conservation Board, conducted a loading analysis for selected constituents and tributaries to the Colorado River in the Grand Valley, western Colorado, using data from 1991 to 2018, to characterize concentrations, stream loading, and load reductions for Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium for stream segments on the State of Colorado 303(d) list of impaired waters. Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations and streamflow data were compiled from the Water Quality Portal (WQP). The data tables include information on sites, data collection time periods, concentrations, computed loads, and regression model diagnostics. Dissolved selenium annual loads, percentage load reductions required to meet State regulatory standards, mean daily loads computed for irrigation and nonirrigation seasons, and regression model diagnostics and results are presented for sites where sufficient data were available.

The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Grand Valley Drainage District, Colorado Water Conservation Board, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and Colorado River Water Conservation District, conducted a loading analysis for selected constituents and tributaries in the Grand Valley, Colorado, to support the development of total maximum daily loads (TMDL) at monitoring loca - Publications
Analysis of Escherichia coli, total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium concentrations, loading, and identifying data gaps for selected 303(d) listed streams, Grand Valley, western Colorado, 1980–2018
Tributaries to the Colorado River in the Grand Valley in western Colorado (segment COLCLC13b) have been placed on the State of Colorado 303(d) list as impaired for Escherichia coli (E. coli), total recoverable iron, and dissolved selenium. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment Water Quality Control Division is required to develop total maximum daily loads for these constituentsAuthorsLisa D. Miller, Rachel G.
