WATER-QUALITY AND SEDIMENT-TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS IN KENNEY RESERVOIR, WHITE RIVER BASIN,

NORTHWESTERN COLORADO

By Robert L. Tobin and Caroline P. Hollowed

ABSTRACT

The construction of Taylor Draw Dam and filling of Kenney Reservoir during 1984 were done in response to increased water-management needs in northwestern Colorado. To evaluate possible processes and changes that may occur in the reservoir after filling and the effects of sediment transport to the reservoir, physical, chemical, and biological data needed to be collected to define seasonal variations in vertical and areal water-quality character­ istics. Physical, chemical, and biological data collected during the first 3 years of reservoir operation (1985-87) are presented and summarized for two sites in Kenney Reservoir. Related water-quality data and sediment character­ istics during 1983-87 are summarized for one site on the White River about 8 miles upstream from the reservoir. Data from the three sites were compared for changes in water-quality characteristics that were caused by impoundment. In addition, fluvial sediment loads were determined for the White River upstream from the reservoir for 1983-87, and sediment retention in the reservoir was estimated. During 1983-87, the mean annual discharge in the White River (site 3) was about 174 percent of the mean annual discharge for the period of record (1973-81) at a discontinued streamflow-gaging station near the present dam site.

Changes in water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen with depth were measured at the dam (site 1) and near the reservoir inlet (site 2). Some thermal stratification developed during summer when temperatures at site 1 generally decreased 3 to 5 °C from the surface to the bottom. Maximum surface temperatures in the reservoir were 23.8 °C at site 1 and 24.4 °C at site 2. Surface temperatures in the reservoir during summer were similar to temperatures measured in the White River at site 3 during summer.

Specific-conductance values in the reservoir were similar to values in the White River and ranged from 374 to 932 microsiemens per centimeter. Except during a phytoplankton bloom in June 1987, values of pH generally ranged from 7.4 to 8.8, and concentrations of dissolved oxygen generally ranged from 2.3 to 10.1 milligrams per liter. Values of pH that exceeded 9.0 and concentrations of dissolved oxygen that exceeded 200 percent saturation were measured in near-surface waters that contained concentrated growths of phytoplankton in June 1987. Values of pH and dissolved oxygen decreased with depth in summer. Light penetration and turbidity values indicated increasing water clarity from the inflow end of the reservoir to the dam as suspended solids settled in the reservoir.

Water in the reservoir and in the White River was a hard to very hard calcium bicarbonate type during high runoff and a very hard calcium magnesium sulfate bicarbonate type during low flow. A change in ionic composition to a mixed cation sulfate type is predicted during extremely low-flow conditions when specific-conductance values exceed 1,000 microsiemens per centimeter. Concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus were greatest during spring runoff, least in periods of low flow, and were sufficient to support nuisance phyto- plankton growths. Concentrations of ammonia as nitrogen were as much as 0.13 milligram per liter during summer in near-bottom depths at the dam. Concentrations of 22 trace constituents generally were less than maximum recommended concentrations established by the State of Colorado for cold-water biota.

A total of 210 phytoplankton species from 7 phyla were identified in Kenney Reservoir. Phytoplankton were mostly bacillariophyta (diatoms) and chlorophyta (green algae) in 1985-86 and cyanophyta (blue-green algae) in 1987. Cell counts increased from the inflow site to the dam site. Except for an algae bloom in June 1987, a maximum combined cell count (unrounded value) of greater than 15,000 cells per milliliter occurred in a composite sample at the dam in July 1986. In June 1987, a phytoplankton bloom that had cell counts of 71,000 cells per milliliter and that consisted mostly of the dinoflagellate, Peridinium biceps, developed in the reservoir. Similar blooms may occur in the future when concentrations of nutrients are large and when inflow to the reservoir during summer is low. Bacteria concentrations ranged from less than 2 to 1,100 colonies per 100 milliliters. Ratios of fecal coliforms to fecal streptococci generally were less than 1.0.

Suspended-sediment loads at the White River upstream from the reservoir during 1983-87 ranged from 391,000 to 1,570,000 tons per year. Bedload was less than 1.2 percent of the suspended-sediment load. Sediment retention in Kenney Reservoir was estimated to range from about 91 to about 98 percent. Calculations for estimated volume displacement resulting from sediment deposition during 1985-87 ranged from about 1.8 to about 5 percent of the original capacity of the reservoir per year.

INTRODUCTION

During 1984, Kenney Reservoir was constructed in the White River basin in northwestern Colorado (fig. 1). The reservoir, which has a small capacity (13,800 acre-ft), is located on the White River about 8 mi northeast of Rangely. The name of the reservoir originally was proposed to be Taylor Draw Reservoir but later was renamed Kenney Reservoir after the completion of Taylor Draw Dam. The dam is a reinforced earth type and has a spillway capacity of 65,300 ft 3/s at a crest elevation of 5,317.5 ft. A second outlet that has a capacity of 1,700 ft 3/s is provided through an intake orifice near the reservoir bottom at 5,270 ft. When the reservoir is full, the surface area is 615 acres and the maximum depth near the dam is about 50 ft.

The construction of Taylor Draw Dam and filling of Kenney Reservoir were done in response to increased water-management needs in northwestern Colorado. The main purposes of the reservoir were to provide local water supply, recreational use, and potential hydroelectric production. Secondary purposes included flood control and stream water-quality improvement.

In late 1984, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Water Users Association No. 1 in the Colorado River Water Conservation District, began a reconnaissance of Kenney Reservoir. Because the study began when the reservoir was being filled, an opportunity existed to determine baseline water-quality conditions that can be used for future comparison. The reliability of estimating future water quality of the reservoir based on possible nonsteady-state conditions during the filling period was considered in the study. Although Kenney Reservoir is expected to have a fast flushing (flow-through) rate in late spring when streamflow in the White River is large, the hydraulic residence time will increase because of decreased inflow during late summer and fall and during low-flow years. During these periods of decreased inflow, the reservoir may develop thermal stratification and zones of decreased concentrations of dissolved oxygen. Related chemical and biological characteristics may change with depth and in bottom sediments, which may deleteriously affect reservoir uses. To evaluate these processes and changes and the effects of sediment transport to the reservoir, physical, chemical, and biological data were necessary to define seasonal variations in vertical and areal water-quality characteristics.

The objectives of the study were to: (1) Describe the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics within the reservoir during the first 2 years after filling; (2) compare these water-quality characteristics with characteristics in the White River at a site about 8 mi upstream from the reservoir to determine effects of impoundment; and (3) describe the quantity and characteristics of fluvial-sediment movement in the White River upstream from the reservoir during 1983-87 and estimate the sediment retention of the reservoir during 1985-87. In 1987, the study and data collection were extended 1 additional year to document the water-quality effects in the reservoir from an unexpected phytoplankton bloom that occurred during the early summer of 1987. This extension also provided an opportunity to enhance the sediment data base for the White River with data collected in 1987, a low- runoff year compared with 1983-86.

Purpose and Scope

This report describes the physical, chemical, and biological character­ istics of the water impounded in Kenney Reservoir and compares these water- quality characteristics to the inflow water from the White River. The report also describes the quantity and characteristics of fluvial-sediment movement in the White River upstream from the reservoir at site 3 during 1983-87 and presents estimates of the sediment retention in the reservoir during 1985-87. Three years of hydrologic data collected during 1985-87 from two sites in Kenney Reservoir are presented, and hydrologic data from one site on the White River about 8 mi upstream from the reservoir during 1985-87 are summarized. Site locations and general data-collection information are shown in figure 2 and are listed in table 1.

Approach

Sampling in Kenney Reservoir was designed to measure the vertical and lateral differences in water-quality characteristics that occurred in the reservoir during spring, summer, and fall. Samples collected from site 1 near the dam (fig. 2) were from the deepest (40 to 50 ft) part of the reservoir. Water-quality characteristics at this site represented reservoir water that generally had a maximum residence time for given inflow rates (table 2).

Site 2 near the inlet was established in the north end of the reservoir where the White River enters Kenney Reservoir. Water depth at this site originally was measured at 14 ft in April 1985. Subsequent measurements of depths after the spring runoff in 1985 generally were 10 ft or less. In 1987, measurements of depth at site 2 ranged from 4 to 6 ft. Decreases in depth at this site were attributed to suspended-sediment deposition and redistribution of sediment from the White River. Water-quality characteristics at site 2 represented water that generally had a residence time in the reservoir of less than 24 hours.

In addition to the two reservoir sites, the U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging station 09306290, White River below Boise Creek, near Rangely was established as site 3. Site 3 is about 8 mi upstream from Kenney Reservoir (fig. 2). All hydrologic data used in this report were obtained from the U.S. Geological Survey WATSTORE (Hutchison, 1975) computer data base.

Profile measurements of water-quality properties and constituents and sample collections for chemical, biological, and physical analyses were made in the reservoir using a submersible pump that continuously delivered water from any depth to a multiprobe manifold at the water surface. The manifold housed probes that measured temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dis­ solved oxygen. Water samples could be withdrawn at any depth for laboratory analysis. Except at the manifold discharge point, water movement within the entire system remained isolated from atmospheric effects. Oxygen consumption because of indigenous processes that occur within the reservoir (sites 1 and 2) and in the White River (site 3) were estimated from 5- and 20-day natural biochemical-oxygen-demand (BOD) analyses. Incubations for the BOD analyses were processed from iced samples within 12 hours of sample collection.

Light penetration in the reservoir was measured using a standard Secchi disk. The average extinction depth of several observations was used. This value approximates the depth that receives 5 percent of the surface light intensity (Yoshimura, 1938). Major zones in a lake or reservoir based on a combination of light penetration, biology, and morphology are shown in figure 3.

Assessments of general water chemistry are based on laboratory data for periodic samples of major constituents, nutrients, and trace constituents. Samples were taken from near-surface and near-bottom depths at sites 1 and 2 in the reservoir and from depth composites at site 3 in the White River.

Point samples for phytoplankton (algae) identification, biomass, and chlorophyll analyses were collected from depths of maximum dissolved-oxygen saturation (usually 2 ft). Because oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis, data from these depths generally should represent zones of maximum phyto­ plankton activity. A second sample that consisted of a composite of water from the euphotic zone (fig. 3) at site 1 and the general water column at site 2 also were analyzed. These analyses were done to describe the general phytoplankton population in the reservoir. The base of the euphotic zone generally is estimated by multiplying the Secchi-disk depth by a factor of 2.5 to 5.0 (Verduin, 1956). However, factors that ranged from 3.0 to 6.0 at site 1 were used where Secchi-disk depths were between 20 and 40 in., and factors that ranged from 2.0 to 4.0 were used where Secchi-disk depths were greater than 40 in. Samples, from water surface to a depth of 10 ft at site 1, were composited when Secchi-disk depths were less than 20 in. All phytoplankton and chlorophyll samples were analyzed by a private laboratory. Concentrations of chlorophylls a, Jb, and c were determined except where large concentrations of suspended material interfered with the analyses.

The presence of sanitary-indicator bacteria, total and fecal coliform, and fecal streptococci also were determined during 1985-86 from near-surface and near-bottom depths at both sites in Kenney Reservoir. Incubations for the bacteria analyses were processed from iced samples within 12 hours of sample collection. All samples for chemical and biological laboratory analyses were

collected, preserved, and analyzed in accordance with standard procedures of the U.S. Geological Survey (Brown and others, 1970; Goerlitz and Brown, 1972; Fishman and Friedman, 1985; Britton and Greeson, 1989).

Estimates of annual sediment load transported by the White River are based on streamflow and suspended-sediment and bedload-sediment data for water years 1983-87 collected at site 3 on the White River. Samples of suspended sediment were collected using depth-integrated techniques from equal stream- width increments. Bedload was collected at equal-width increments using a Helley-Smith sampler (Emmett, 1980). Sediment-collection techniques and laboratory analyses used in this study are summarized in Guy (1969) and Guy and Norman (1970).

River-basin Characteristics

The White River basin in northwestern Colorado (fig. 1) includes most of Rio Blanco County and parts of Moffat and Garfield Counties. The drainage area of the White River at Taylor Draw Dam (fig. 2) is 2,773 mi2 . Surface rocks in the basin consist mostly of sedimentary rocks that range in age from Paleozoic in the east to Mesozoic and Cenozoic in the central and western parts of the basin. The headwaters of the White River originate in the high mountains of the White River uplift in eastern Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. The river flows from an alpine climate westward through transi­ tional climates near Meeker and into a semiarid climate in western Rio Blanco County. Near Rangely, the White River enters Utah and joins the Green River. Ranching, agriculture, recreation, and energy development are the primary land uses in the basin. A general discussion of the White River basin is presented in Boyle and others (1984).

Hydrology

Precipitation in the basin ranges from 9 in. in western Rio Blanco County to 22 in. in eastern Rio Blanco County. Most precipitation occurs as winter snow and summer thunderstorms. Discharge in the White River occurs princi­ pally from snowmelt during spring and early summer (fig. 4). Occasional, intense thunderstorms may temporarily increase flow and sediment loads in the White River during summer.

Streamflow extremes for 1910-1987 (U.S. Geological Survey, 1988) indicate that maximum discharges measured at streamflow-gaging stations in the White River occurred during snowmelt runoff in 1983 and 1984 when Taylor Draw Dam was under construction. A maximum discharge for site 3 of 6,440 ft3/s was recorded in June 1984. A minimum daily discharge in the lower White River basin of 62 ft3/s was recorded immediately downstream from the reservoir at the discontinued U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging station 09306300 in July 1977 (U.S. Geological Survey, 1982). Station 09306300, White River near Rangely, was at the present dam site and was discontinued in 1982 when con­ struction of the dam began. The mean annual discharge at station 09306300 for the period of record, water years 1973-81, was 633 ft3/s or about 460,000 acre-ft. The mean annual discharge at site 3 for the period of record, water years 1983-87, was 1,099 ft3/s or about 796,000 acre-ft. Mean daily discharge at site 3 for the period of reservoir operation (1985-87) and mean daily

Using a capacity of 13,800 acre-ft for Kenney Reservoir, the theoretical hydraulic residence times and capacity-inflow ratios for the reservoir at various river discharges are listed in table 2. Residence-time calculations assume complete mixing and no thermal stratification within the reservoir. During periods of thermal stratification, however, temperatures of inflowing water will affect the allocation of the incoming river water within the reservoir. Thus, the residence times within different thermal zones may be considerably different from the values listed in table 2.

WATER-QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS

Spatial and temporal changes in water quality often occur in lakes and reservoirs. Although this report is about a reservoir, the term "lake" more commonly is used in general literature and, therefore, sometimes is used in this report where discussing general properties and processes. Many of the explanations for water-quality characteristics presented in this report for Kenney Reservoir represent phenomena known to occur in lakes and reservoirs and are the likely reasons for the observed conditions. However, newly con­ structed reservoirs characteristically undergo dynamic change in water quality during, and immediately after, the reservoir is filled. A new equilibrium condition in regard to its hydrologic, sediment, nutrient, and other properties usually is not achieved immediately. The filling water inundates the reservoir basin, causing sediments and other materials to enter the water column and undergo chemical and biological reactions and interactions. An enhanced biological productivity often occurs, which can cause tastes and odors, clog intake screens in water-treatment plants, produce slime conditions, and be toxic to animals (Palmer, 1977). Eventually, however, the water body will reach an equilibrium state and exhibit relatively stable water quality. Given the postconstruction sampling period for Kenney Reservoir, therefore, the water-quality and trophic characteristics measured during this study will not necessarily describe the conditions likely to exist over the long term, even considering the relatively rapid flushing rate of the reservoir.

Although many physical and biological variables are involved, changes in water quality occur most noticeably when solar heating during summer causes nonuniform water-temperature distributions to develop within the impounded water. Temperature not only controls the rate of chemical and biological processes, but also, because the density of water is a function of temperature (water is densest at approximately 4 °C), nonuniform temperature (thermal) distribution in water is the primary cause of most stratification in lakes and reservoirs. A less common form of stratification can occur when large concen­ trations of dissolved solids that increase water density become nonuniformly distributed within a lake. Depending on wind conditions, reservoir morphology, hydraulic residence time, and release patterns at the dam, various forms of thermal stratification may develop. Summer thermal stratification commonly is characterized by (1) an upper zone of uniformly warm water (epilimnion), (2) an intermediate zone of transition where temperature decreases rapidly with depth (metalimnion), and (3) a lower zone of uniformly cold water (hypo- limnion). The thermocline, as defined by Wetzel (1983), is the maximum rate of change of temperature with depth. The seasonal thermal profiles and circu­ lation patterns of a temperate-zone lake are shown in figure 5. Hutchinson (1957) termed lakes that circulate twice a year in this manner as dimictic. Kenney Reservoir is an example of a dimictic lake.

When thermal stratification is stable, the various metabolic activities of aquatic animals, phytoplankton, plants, and bacteria can alter and recycle dissolved gases, nutrients, and other chemical constituents. As these activ­ ities progress, the thermocline acts as a barrier between the upper warm- water zone and the lower cold-water zone, decreasing the exchange of heat and dissolved substances and, also, acts as a biological barrier that affects the movement and dispersal of many aquatic organisms. As a result, water zones that have different chemical characteristics may develop. The environments of these physical, biological, and chemical zones are discussed in Hutchinson (1957) and Odum (1971).

Data for onsite measurements of temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen were collected continuously with depth at sites 1 and 2. Data for these profiles are presented for selected depths in tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section at the back of the report. In addition, selected water-quality data for near-surface (2 ft) and near-bottom depths at sites 1 and 2 are listed in tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section.

Temperature

Water temperature from profiles in Kenney Reservoir (tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) ranged from 0 °C during winter to 23.8 °C at site 1 during summer, and the maximum water temperature was 24.4 °C at site 2 during summer. Measurements of water temperature for selected depths at site 1 are shown in figure 6. During water years 1985-87, measured water temperatures in the White River at site 3 ranged from 0 to 24.0 °C. Although these data represent instantaneous measurements in time and cannot be compared directly, it seems that the range in temperature of the near-surface water in the reservoir and the White River at site 3 were similar.

During summer, water temperature at site 1 generally decreased 3 to 5 °C with depth (fig. 6). Because water density increases with decreasing water temperature for temperatures above 4 °C, some thermal stratification developed in the reservoir from May through September during the study period. The possible causes for the decreases in temperature with depth were:

1. The disproportionately large absorption of solar radiation by near- surface water when compared with the decreased penetration and absorption of solar radiation by water at depth; and

2. The routing of inflow water within the reservoir to depths or zones that had water temperature similar to the existing temperature of the inflows. Thus, inflow from the White River that enters the reservoir in the early morning, when stream temperatures are cool compared with afternoon tem­ peratures, may remain and pass through the reservoir at depth.

The temperature differences that develop between near-surface and near- bottom water in the reservoir, the time that stratification stability exists during summer, and the warming of near-surface water may be expected to increase as inflow to the reservoir decreases and as the residence time of the inflowing water increases.

Specific Conductance

Specific conductance is a measure of the ability of water to conduct an electric current and is reported in microsiemens per centimeter at 25 degrees Celsius. Specific conductance can be used to estimate the dissolved-solids concentration of similar water types (Hem, 1985, p. 67). Chemical, hydro- logical, and biological activities continuously alter specific conductance through chemical solution or precipitation, dilution and evaporation, and metabolic uptake and release of chemicals.

Except for the first measurements in January 1985, specific conductance from profiles in Kenney Reservoir (tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section; fig. 6) ranged from 374 to 932 pS/cm. Periodic measurements of specific conductance in the White River at site 3 ranged from 375 to 963 pS/cm during water years 1985-87. The large specific-conductance values (972 and 1,550 pS/cm) measured in January 1985 (table 11 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) near the bottom of the reservoir at site 1 were measured soon after the reservoir filled. These large values were not repeated in subsequent measurements and were attributed to large values of specific conductance from residual ground-water seepage (Van Liew and Gesink, 1985, p. 20-28) and(or) to leaching of dissolved ions from material associated with the dam construction and reservoir-site preparation.

The data in figure 6 indicate little variation in specific conductance with depth. The slight lateral differences in specific conductance within the reservoir (tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) are related to changes in inflow discharge and time of travel within the reservoir. Specific conductance was least during snowmelt runoff in May and June and greatest during low flow in fall and winter.

Using the analysis of covariance test, the ratios of specific conductance to concentrations of dissolved solids for all samples in the reservoir were compared with the ratios of specific conductance to concentrations of dis­ solved solids for the White River at site 3. The test indicated no differences at the 0.05 level of significance for the range of data. The relation of dissolved-solids concentration to specific conductance in the reservoir and in the White River at site 3 is shown in figure 7. Dissolved- solids concentrations can be estimated from specific-conductance measurements in the reservoir and(or) the White River by using the regression shown in figure 7. However, since the reservoir may not be in a steady-state condi­ tion, additional measurements of specific conductance and dissolved-solids concentrations need to be done to ensure that this relation can be used as a predictive tool.

pH

Hydrogen ion activity (pH) is a measure of the acid-base characteristics of water. Water that is neutral has a pH of 7.0; however, pH of natural water that contains dissolved constituents commonly ranges from 5.0 to 9.0, and more frequently from 6.5 to 8.5 (Hem, 1985, p. 64). The constituents carbon dioxide (C02 ), bicarbonate (HC03), and carbonate (C03), which account for most alkalinity, greatly affect or buffer pH in natural water (Hem, 1985, p. 106).

Diel shifts in pH can develop in water that has considerable biological production and small ionic concentrations (Alien, 1972). Values of pH may increase to greater than 9.0 when phytoplankton use dissolved C02 and HCOs during photosynthesis. Conversely, diel and seasonal decreases in pH to values less than 7.0 can occur when C02 from decomposition and respiration accumulate in poorly mixed water. If exposure time is sufficient, these environmental changes may be harmful or lethal to some aquatic life (National Academy of Sciences, 1972).

Figure 7.--Relation of dissolved-solids concentration to specific conductance in Kenney Reservoir (sites 1 and 2) and the White River (site 3), water years 1985-87.

Measured values of pH in Kenney Reservoir (tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) ranged from 7.4 to 8.8 at site 1 and from 8.2 to 8.6 at site 2. For all depths less than 41 ft at site 1, however, pH ranged from 7.9 to 8.8 (fig. 6). Reservoir data collected from below 40 ft at site 1 represented water from the near-bottom environment. Values of pH in this near-bottom water occasionally were less than 8.0 and decreased several tenths of a pH unit when compared with the overlying water column. These decreases in pH likely were due to the accumulation of C02 and other metabolic waste products that resulted from decomposing organic matter within the benthic zone during periods of thermal stratification and low inflow-outflow discharge. However, because the bottom of newly constructed reservoirs requires time to stabilize, the small pH value of 7.4 measured near the bottom of the reservoir at site 1 in January 1985 probably was not considered representative of reservoir conditions because of construction materials and recent soil dis­ turbance. During water years 1985-87, measured values of pH at site 3 on the White River ranged from 8.0 to 8.8.

Values of pH at site 1 generally were greatest at or near the reservoir surface. Values of pH changed little with depth at site 2. The pH values at sites 1 and 2 exceeded 8.5 only in water that was supersaturated with respect to dissolved oxygen (tables 11 and 12). The larger pH values (greater than 8.5) were caused by the uptake of C02 and the conversion of HCOs ions to C02 by algae during photosynthesis and related oxygen production. During additional sampling at a selected site near the center of the reservoir on

June 19, 1987, a maximum pH of 9.2 was measured at depths of 1 ft or less (fig. 8). The large pH values (greater than 9.0) were associated with dense subsurface growths of phytoplankton that seemed to be confined to depths of less than 1 ft. Values of pH decreased to less than 9.0 below (fig. 8) and laterally (fig. 6, tables 11 and 12) from observed patches of phytoplankton. Except for the biologically active zones near the surface and near the bottom of Kenney Reservoir, ranges of pH values were similar to the range of pH values in the White River (site 3).

Dissolved Oxygen and Biochemical Oxygen Demand

Oxygen dissolves in water to a concentration controlled by the atmos­ pheric partial pressure of the gas and the temperature and salinity of the water. Concentrations of dissolved oxygen at 100-percent saturation will increase as water temperature decreases and(or) atmospheric pressure increases.

Except for photosynthesis, almost all oxygen transfer to the water occurs at the air-water interface. Because oxygen diffuses very slowly in calm water (Hutchinson, 1957), winds, water turbulence, and currents are major factors in the aeration of a water body.

Seasonal and daily variations of dissolved-oxygen concentration in a water body are indirect measures of the biological productivity and oxygen demand of the system. If photosynthetic or respiratory activities are great during thermal stratification, separate biological zones can develop and cause vertical and horizontal variation in chemical characteristics. In lakes, the epilimnion typically is a zone of active biomass (phytoplankton) production, marked by nutrient uptake and daytime oxygen production. Where ample nutri­ ents and light conditions exist, zones of oxygen supersaturation may develop. Conversely, overlying biomass or debris transported by inflowing streams may become deposited in the hypolimnion. As organisms die and settle downward, they are decomposed by bacteria and fungi. During decomposition, nutrients are returned to the water and oxygen is consumed. If large quantities of organic matter are present and there is little or no mixing with the oxygen­ ated upper water, the dissolved-oxygen concentrations in the water at deeper levels may decrease to zero (anaerobic condition).

The quantity of oxygen consumed by indigenous processes in an isolated water sample confined in the dark at 20 °C for 5 days is termed the 5-day BOD. BOD is an estimated measurement of the biological- and chemical-oxygen demand required by the processes of respiration, decomposition, and chemical oxida­ tion that occur in the sample.

Except for the zero value for dissolved oxygen near the bottom of the reservoir in January 1985, measured concentrations of dissolved oxygen at sites 1 and 2 in the reservoir (tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) ranged from 2.3 to 10.1 mg/L. Although concentrations of dissolved oxygen tended to decrease with depth at site 1, concentrations equal to or greater than 4.0 mg/L were maintained from the reservoir surface to a depth of 35 ft. The decrease in dissolved oxygen to concentrations less than 4.0 mg/L at depths greater than 35 ft may indicate that depletion of dissolved oxygen from respiration and decomposition processes occurred near the bottom of the reservoir. The concentration of 0.0 mg/L for dissolved oxygen in January 1985 may have resulted from residual ground water that collected near the bottom of the reservoir. Concentrations determined in the White River at site 3 during 1985-87 ranged from 7.8 to 12.5 mg/L.

In June 1987, maximum concentrations of dissolved oxygen within the reservoir were measured during a phytoplankton bloom that drifted at depths generally less than 1 ft. A concentration of 14.7 mg/L dissolved oxygen was measured during additional sampling at the 1-ft depth near the center of the reservoir on June 19, 1987 (fig. 8). Measurements of dissolved oxygen within other localized near-surface patches of phytoplankton on June 9 and June 19, 1987, ranged from 14.0 to 18.0 mg/L. These concentrations represented a range of supersaturation of dissolved oxygen from 190 to 240 percent. In addition to the phytoplankton bloom in June 1987, supersaturation of dissolved oxygen from photosynthetic activities occurred occasionally at both reservoir sites (fig. 6; tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section). Smaller concen­ trations and ranges of dissolved oxygen, as compared to the concentrations and ranges of saturation of dissolved oxygen measured within the patches of phyto­ plankton, were measured at sites 1 and 2 (fig. 6; tables 11 and 12 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) and at depths greater than 5 ft directly below the phytoplankton bloom in June 1987 (fig. 8). These differences indicate that the greatly supersaturated conditions of dissolved oxygen (190-240 percent) were limited to water that contained the concentrated growths of phytoplankton,

Values of 5-day BOD in Kenney Reservoir ranged from 0.7 to 2.3 mg/L (tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section). The daily values and ranges of BOD values determined from 20-day incubations for Kenney Reservoir for two depths at site 1 and for the White River at site 3 are compared in figure 9. Although BOD generally was slightly greater in the White River (site 3) than in Kenney Reservoir (fig. 9), one important exception occurred during the phytoplankton bloom in June 1987. Two selected samples collected near the center of the reservoir on June 9, 1987, from the 1-ft depth within localized growths or patches of phytoplankton had 1-day BOD values that were greater than 5.0 mg/L. These values extrapolated to 5-day BOD estimates that were greater than 25 mg/L. Although not representative of the general water column in the reservoir, these large BOD values indicated that rapid respira­ tion (oxygen consumption) rates from phytoplankton growths can occur in the reservoir. If the biomass from phytoplankton blooms remain in the reservoir, substantial additional BOD may further decrease dissolved-oxygen concentra­ tions at depth as microbial decomposition of the sinking biomass occurs.

Light Penetration and Turbidity

Nearly all biological activities in a lake depend directly or indirectly on sunlight. Photosynthesis by phytoplankton and other plants is related to the quantity of available sunlight. The depth to which light penetrates a lake is dependent on latitude and season, lake surface area and morphometry, turbidity, phytoplankton characteristics, and the transmitting and absorbing characteristics of the water and its dissolved material.

Turbidity is a qualitative measure of the light reducing or scattering capabilities of the suspended and colloidal matter in water. Where turbidity becomes large and light penetration is decreased, the following conditions may occur: (1) lowered water temperature at depth, (2) decreased photo­ synthesis and primary production, and (3) disruption of feeding patterns and physiological functions of benthic organisms and fish. Extreme turbidity levels can be directly lethal to some aquatic organisms (McKee and Wolf, 1963, p. 290-21).

Secchi-disk measurements in Kenney Reservoir (tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) ranged from 11 to 144 in. at site 1 and from 2 to 46 in. at site 2. A comparison of Secchi-disk measurements (fig. 10) indicates that substantial increases in light penetration (referred to as transparency in tables 13 and 14) occurred from the inlet (site 2) to the dam (site 1). Light penetration generally was least during periods of snowmelt and storm runoff when concentrations of suspended solids were large and greatest during late summer when streamflow and concentrations of suspended materials in the water column were small.

Turbidity, expressed in nephelometric turbidity units (NTU), measured from the 2-ft depths (tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) ranged from 1.2 to 45 NTU at site 1 and from 6.0 to 220 NTU at site 2. Turbidity measured in the White River at site 3 ranged from 5.0 to 210 NTU. The pattern of change in turbidity values within the reservoir was similar to the Secchi-disk pattern turbidity decreased and light penetration increased from the inlet to the dam. These relations indicate that light attenuation by phytoplankton in Kenney Reservoir was minimal.

The relation of turbidity and suspended-solids concentrations to Secchi- disk measurements and the relation of suspended-solids concentrations to turbidity (tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) were nonlinear. After log transformations of turbidity, suspended-solids concentrations, and Secchi-disk measurements, the relations of turbidity and suspended solids to Secchi-disk measurements were inverse and linear and are shown in figure 11. A positive and linear relation of suspended-solids concentrations to turbidity is shown in figure 12. The large values for the coefficients of determination (r 2 ) (figs. 11 and 12) were obtained because light penetration is closely associated with turbidity and because fine silts and clays that accounted for most of the suspended material in the reservoir were uniformly distributed.

General Chemical Characteristics

The general chemical constituents in natural water are derived mainly from the action of water on soils and rocks (Hem, 1985). Carbon dioxide, derived from the atmosphere or from biological processes, readily dissolves in water, which decreases pH and increases acidity. Chemical constituents in soils and rocks are selectively dissolved into the water in various states of oxidation and ionization. The chemical constituents commonly are grouped as major constituents or ions, nutrients, and trace constituents.

The general water quality in the White River at site 3 and in Kenney Reservoir (tables 4 and 5) was determined from milliequivalent conversions of concentrations of cations and anions. The water types changed from a hard to very hard calcium bicarbonate type during high-flow conditions (greater than 3,500 ft3/s) to a very hard calcium magnesium sulfate bicarbonate type during low-flow or base-flow conditions (less than 400 ft3/s). Although not shown, regressions were developed that related concentrations of the major constitu­ ents to specific conductance for the White River and Kenney Reservoir. Tests for similarity of data at the 0.05 level of significance indicated that the water chemistry for the major constituents was statistically similar at all sites. The relations of the dissolved-solids concentrations and percent composition of major ions to water discharge are shown in figure 13.

Nutrients

The biological productivity in lakes is dependent on the availability of nutrients within the aquatic system. Those elements that are needed in large quantities for plant growth, such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon, are termed major nutrients or macronutrients. Those elements needed in minute quantities, such as molybdenum and zinc, are termed as trace nutrients or micronutrients.

Although there are several ways for nutrients to enter a lake, most nutrients originate from surface-water inflow and cultural input such as septic-tank discharge. Once in the lake, nutrients are subjected to various removal and(or) recycling functions. Large quantities of nutrients can be removed from the water by chemical reactions, adsorption onto sediment and subsequent deposition, and biological utilization. These processes may be reversed, however, through biochemical action. The conversion of inorganic nutrients into biomass (nutrient removal) within a zone of substantial phyto- plankton productivity may be reversed in the profundal zone where nutrients are recycled back into solution as byproducts from decomposition. These processes often produce uneven chemical and nutrient distributions when the lake is stratified.

Attempts to classify lakes into trophic categories commonly are based on the concentrations of macronutrients. Nitrogen and especially phosphorus currently are considered the major nutrients that affect the rate of eutro- phication in lakes and reservoirs. Sawyer (1947) states that nuisance phytoplankton conditions can occur when inorganic nitrogen concentrations exceed 0.3 mg/L and phosphorus concentrations exceed 0.01 mg/L.

Vollenweider (1968) compared the input of nitrogen and phosphorus to lake mean depth and determined that shallower lakes are more sensitive to nuisance growth conditions than deeper lakes. A short hydraulic residence time (small capacity-inflow ratio), however, may control phytoplankton production by maintaining rapid flushing rates (Welch, 1969). Various attempts to control the rate and undesirable effects of eutrophication are summarized by Dunst and others (1974).

Nutrient data for Kenney Reservoir are listed in tables 6 and 7; nutrient data for the White River (site 3) for water years 1985-87 were compiled from the U.S. Geological Survey WATSTORE (Hutchison, 1975) computer data base. Concentrations of ammonia, nitrite plus nitrate as nitrogen, and organic nitrogen that were determined for sites 1, 2, and 3 during 1985-87 are shown in figures 14, 15, and 16. The concentrations of phosphorus are shown in figure 17. Concentrations of total organic carbon in the White River (site 3) and near the inlet (site 2) generally ranged from about 2 to 12 mg/L. Concen­ trations of total organic carbon at site 1 ranged from about 2 to 6 mg/L and generally were less than at sites 2 and 3. Concentrations of total organic carbon at site 3 were greatest during spring runoff; variations in concentra­ tions of dissolved organic carbon generally were independent of flow.

Figure 17.--Concentrations of phosphorus in Kenney Reservoir (sites 1 and 2) and the White River (site 3), water years 1985-87.

Page 44: WATER-QUALITY AND SEDIMENT-TRANSPORT … · 2011-02-08 · Chrysophyta, Cryptophyta, Euglenophyta, and Pyrrhophyta in Kenney Reservoir (sites 1 and 2), water years 1985-87 43 20

Except for ammonia, concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus tended to be greatest during spring runoff and least during late summer and fall. At sites 1 and 2, inorganic forms of dissolved and total nitrogen (ammonia and nitrite plus nitrate) and total phosphorus often exceeded the concentration levels of 0.3 mg/L as nitrogen and 0.01 mg/L as phosphorus that are considered sufficient to produce nuisance phytoplankton growths. Dissolved phosphorus concentrations frequently were less than 0.1 mg/L in the White River (site 3) and less than 0.05 mg/L in Kenney Reservoir (sites 1 and 2). Large concen­ trations of dissolved or total phosphorus (0.2 to 0.62 mg/L) occasionally occurred in the White River during spring runoff.

Concentrations of total and(or) dissolved ammonia generally were greatest in the White River at site 3 (0.01 to 0.12 mg/L) and near the reservoir bottom at site 1 (concentrations commonly ranged from 0.01 to 0.13 mg/L). Except for one sample in June 1987, ammonia concentrations were least (<0.01 to 0.06 mg/L) in samples from the 2-ft depth at site 1. Concentrations of ammonia generally increased several hundredths of a milligram per liter during summer from the 2-ft depth to near-bottom water at site 1. These increases in ammonia concen­ trations probably were from accumulations of ammonia that were produced from biochemical processes. The concentration of total ammonia of 0.11 mg/L at the 2-ft depth at site 1 on June 9, 1987, probably was a result of increased organic decomposition. The very large concentrations of ammonia (2.5 and 2.6 mg/L) analyzed from samples collected at the 47-ft depth at the dam (site 1) in January 1985 may have resulted from the biological decay of residual organic material on the reservoir bottom shortly after filling and from organic decomposition and subsequent release from sediments during anaerobic conditions in January.

Except for an unexplained concentration of 2.0 mg/L in the bottom sample at site 1 in September 1986, concentrations of dissolved and(or) total nitrite plus nitrate as nitrogen ranged from less than 0.1 to 1.0 mg/L at all sites. Concentrations generally were greatest at all sites during spring runoff and least at sites 1 and 2 during summer and fall. Concentrations of dissolved and(or) total organic nitrogen in the White River (site 3) and reservoir inlet (site 2) ranged from 0.15 to 1.7 mg/L. Except for samples in June 1987, con­ centrations of dissolved and(or) total organic nitrogen in the reservoir at site 1 (0.00 to 0.87 mg/L) were substantially less than concentrations deter­ mined in the White River. The decreases of organic nitrogen from site 3 to site 1 may indicate that substantial quantities of total organic nitrogen transported by the White River were removed from the water column as a result of sedimentation processes near the inflow to the reservoir. The large con­ centrations of total organic nitrogen (4.3 mg/L), total ammonia (0.11 mg/L), and total phosphorus (0.3 mg/L) that were determined at site 1 on June 9, 1987, were from samples that contained large concentrations of phytoplankton.

During spring and early summer 1987, substantial quantities of nitrogen and possibly phosphorus may have entered Kenney reservoir, apparently from sources upstream from site 3 on the White River (figs. 16 and 17). Concen­ trations of total nitrogen (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and organic nitrogen) exceeded 1.5 mg/L, and concentrations of total and(or) dissolved phosphorus were 0.4, 0.3 mg/L, and 0.62 mg/L in samples collected at site 3. The large concentrations of these nutrients that entered the reservoir probably con­ tributed to the phytoplankton bloom that occurred within the reservoir in June 1987.

Trace Constituents

A selected group of 22 trace constituents (table 8) were analyzed from samples collected from the 2-ft and near-bottom depths in Kenney Reservoir at the dam (site 1). The samples were collected during high- and low-flow conditions, and under ice, to determine if concentrations in excess of State- recommended criteria (Colorado Department of Health, 1978) of toxic or undesirable substances were present in the reservoir during 1985-87. Except for the one-time occurrence of concentrations of total recoverable iron and manganese in excess of 1,000 pg/L near the reservoir bottom in January 1985 and the concentrations of total recoverable mercury (as much as 0.2 pg/L), all concentrations of trace constituents were less than the recommended concentrations established by the State of Colorado for cold-water biota.

Concentrations of trace constituents analyzed during 1985-87 from five samples from the White River at site 3 generally were similar to those measured in the reservoir. Concentrations of total recoverable copper, mercury, and zinc tended to be slightly greater in the White River than concentrations determined in Kenney Reservoir.

Biological Characteristics

Biota in lakes and reservoirs are complex and include bacteria, plants (particularly phytoplankton), zooplankton, insects and other invertebrates, and vertebrates such as fish and waterfowl (Hutchinson, 1967; Odum, 1971). The organism distributions and densities vary greatly with season, physical conditions, and nutrient availability. Kenney Reservoir was sampled for phytoplankton and the sanitary-indicator bacteria total and fecal coliform and fecal streptococci.

Phytoplankton

Biological studies of lakes frequently begin with an investigation of the phytoplankton biomass. As the primary producers in the ecosystem of the lake, these organisms are fundamental to biological productivity. The taxonomy or classification of phytoplankton, commonly known as algae, varies somewhat among taxonomists. In this report the following divisions or phyla, taken from Prescott (1970), with modifications of Chrysophyta based on Patrick and Reimer (1966), are used:

Bacillariophyta - diatomsChlorophyta - green algaeCyanophyta - blue-green algaeChrysophyta - golden-brown algaeEuglenophyta - euglenoidsCryptophyta - cryptomonadsPyrrhophyta - dinoflagellates

Phytoplankton in this report are identified to the species level.

Phytoplankton densities will vary considerably from lake to lake and commonly show seasonal fluctuations or progressions within a given lake (Greeson, 1971). The ratios and dominance and(or) persistence of phytoplankton groups are sometimes used as an aid in lake classification (Hutchinson, 1967). Other investigators may use a diversity index such as that proposed by Wilhm and Dorris (1968). The diversity index (DI) is formulated as:

s n. n.

and is based on the relation of individuals per taxon (n.), the total number

of individuals in the sample (n) , and the total number of taxa or identifiable groups (s) in the sampled community.

Diversity index is a ratio of the number of species or other taxa to another important value, usually the total number of organisms in a sample of the community. The diversity index measures the evenness of distribution of individuals within the community (Greeson, 1982). The use of a diversity index as an indicator of water-quality conditions is based on the assumption that unpolluted water generally has a greater number of species, thus greater diversity index, than polluted water. The diversity index in unpolluted water is large because a benthic community can develop that has many species of relatively equal abundance. Persistent small values of diversity index are indicative of polluted or environmentally stressed water because this water will favor a relatively few species of tolerant organisms. Diversity index can range from zero (all organisms in the community belong to the same species) to any positive number. The upper limit, however, is about nine and most frequently is less than five.

Because phytoplankton distributions within a reservoir can vary, phyto­ plankton samples in Kenney Reservoir were collected at sites 1 and 2 from depths of maximum concentrations of dissolved oxygen (usually at the 2-ft depth) and as a composite of the euphotic zone. Phytoplankton identification, cell counts, percent composition, number of species, diversity index, biomass, and chlorophyll concentrations for sites 1 and 2 are listed in table 15 in the "Hydrologic Data" section.

A total of 210 phytoplankton species from 7 phyla were identified in Kenney Reservoir during 1985-87. Cell counts and phylum composition for diatoms, green algae, and blue-green algae from composite samples at sites 1 and 2, and from samples collected at the 2-ft depth at site 1, are shown in figure 18. Similar data for golden-brown algae, cryptomonads , euglenoids , and dinoflagellates are shown in figure 19.

Except for a dinoflagellate bloom in June 1987, diatoms, green algae, and blue-green algae were the most common phytoplankton in Kenney Reservoir during 1985-86. In 1987, blue-green algae and occasionally diatoms were dominant. Cell counts tended to increase from the inlet (site 2) to the dam (site 1). Maximum combined cell count (unrounded values) in the reservoir for the three dominant phyla was slightly greater than 15,000 cells/ml (site 1) in 1986 (fig. 18). Cell counts for the remaining four phyla intermittently ranged from 0 cells/mL to several hundred cells/mL, except for the dinoflagellate bloom in June 1987. Data comparisons of the four nondominant phyla indicated that cryptomonads and golden-brown algae generally were present in the largest concentrations. Because large concentrations of suspended material interfere in the laboratory analyses for biomass and chlorophyll, attempts to relate concentrations of biomass and chlorophylls a, b, and c with other biological measurements from the turbid water at Kenney Reservoir were inconclusive.

A comparison of phytoplankton species collected among 29 sample pairs (2-ft depth and composite samples) for 1985-86 was determined. For all 29 comparisons, a combined total of 228 species was identified as common in both samples. In addition to the common species in both samples, the composite samples contained 237 species not identified in the 2-ft depth samples. Conversely, 154 species were identified from the 2-ft depth samples that did not occur in composite samples. These comparisons indicate that although the composite method for phytoplankton collection alone would have yielded about 22 percent more species than collections obtained solely at the 2-ft depth, the presence or recurrence of 154 species during 1985 and 1986 would have gone undetected if the single-depth samples (2-ft) were omitted from the program.

In 1987, a phytoplankton bloom that was observed during most of June and consisted almost entirely of the dinoflagellate, Peridinium biceps, developed within the near-surface (depths generally less than 1 ft) water of the reservoir. Dark brown patches and stringers of concentrated phytoplankton growths were easily visible and seemed to resemble subsurface oil slicks. A maximum count of 71,000 cells/mL (fig. 19) was determined from a sample collected near site 1 on June 9, 1987. Large concentrations of dissolved oxygen (14.0-18.0 mg/L) from photosynthesis, large pH values (9.0-9.2), and large BOD from respiration (greater than 5 [(mg/L)/day] dissolved oxygen or 5-day BOD greater than 25 mg/L) were measured in water samples obtained from the concentrated growths of phytoplankton. By July, almost all indica­ tions of the phytoplankton bloom were gone.

The phytoplankton bloom in 1987 was the first bloom detected since the reservoir filled in late 1984. Conditions that may have contributed to the bloom and that were unique in 1987 when compared with previous years are listed below:

1. Mean annual inflows to the reservoir (site 3) in 1985 and 1986 were about 1,160 ft3/s; in 1987, the mean annual inflow was about 750 ft3/s. More notably, mean monthly discharge for June 1985 was about 2,900 ft 3 /s and for June 1986 was about 3,100 ft3/s, but decreased to about 1,000 ft3/s for June 1987. As a result, hydraulic residence time, water clarity, and water temperature, which may be the major causative factors for the bloom in Kenney Reservoir, were greater in June 1987 than during the same month in 1985-86.

On several occasions during April-June 1987, concentrations of organic nitrogen that ranged from 1.0 to 1.7 mg/L and total and(or) dissolved phosphorus concentrations that ranged from 0.3 to 0.62 mg/L were deter­ mined in the White River at site 3. During the same period in 1985-86, concentrations of organic nitrogen at site 3 were 1.0 mg/L or less, and phosphorus concentrations were 0.3 mg/L or less. The large nutrient concentrations in the White River in the spring of 1987 resulted in large nutrient concentrations in Kenney Reservoir prior to the phytoplankton bloom in June. However, because nitrogen and phosphorus do not seem to decrease to concentrations that would limit algal growth, other factors, such as residence time and water clarity, probably affect algal growth in the reservoir.

Values for diversity index for all samples of phytoplankton ranged from 0.11 to 3.99 at the dam (site 1) and from 0.18 to 4.02 near the inlet (site 2). The maximum and minimum diversity-index values for each sampling period for all phytoplankton samples collected in Kenney Reservoir during 1985-87 are shown in figure 20. For most of the sampling period, the diversity-index values were greater near the inlet (site 2) than near the dam (site 1). The slightly lesser diversity index and the general increases in cell counts of blue-green algae near the dam, when compared with data near the inlet, may indicate the effects of the hydrologic change from a river envi­ ronment to a lake environment.

Bacteria

Total and fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria are natural inhabitants of the intestinal tract of man and other animals. As such, they are excreted in large numbers. A healthy person would not normally excrete pathogenic organisms; however, should illness develop, these organisms could occur in the feces. The presence of large numbers of fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria in water provides warning of the potential presence of waterborne pathogenic organisms (Federal Water Quality Administration, 1971).

Knowing whether the fecal coliform bacteria originated from human or other animals would be helpful in interpreting or locating the source of contamination. To assist in this determination, the ratio of fecal coliform to fecal streptococci (FC/FS) sometimes is used. A ratio greater than 4.0 indicates a human-waste source; a ratio less than 1.0 indicates a predomi­ nantly livestock and(or) poultry source (Federal Water Quality Administration, 1971). The State of Colorado (Colorado Department of Health, 1978) has set forth the following criteria for recreational water:

ClassFecal coliform bacteria

(colonies per 100 milliliters)Geometric mean

Class I - Primary contact Class II - Secondary contact

2001,000

Because Kenney Reservoir is used for recreation, concentrations of total and fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria were determined from the 2-ft and near-bottom depths at sites 1 and 2 for all sample collections during 1985-86 (tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section). The range of colony counts per 100 milliliters that were determined after controlled incubations are as follows: total coliform bacteria less than 2 to 1,100; fecal coliform bacteria less than 2 to 380; and fecal streptococci bacteria less than 3 to 960. Maximum values for all three bacteria groups occurred at site 2.

Patterns of concentrations of fecal coliform and fecal streptococci bacteria collected from the 2-ft depths at sites 1 and 2 were representative of the bacteria groups in general and are compared in figure 21. Colony counts for both bacteria groups were greatest during the spring and early summer when overland runoff was high and were least during base-flow conditions. Because suspended solids can absorb organic material, bacteria densities mostly decreased from the inlet (site 2) to the dam (site 1) as suspended material settled to the bottom of the reservoir. The FC/FS ratios were less than 2.0 and generally were less than 1.0. Because the FC/FS ratios were substantially less than 4, the sources of the bacteria in Kenney Reservoir most likely were indigenous to the basin and not from nearby human origins.

SEDIMENT-TRANSPORT CHARACTERISTICS

Fluvial sediment, as defined by Colby (1963), is sediment transported by or suspended in water or that has been deposited in beds by water. The source of sediment in streams is derived principally from sheet erosion and channel erosion. Sheet erosion removes sediment rather uniformly from an area, and channel erosion erodes the beds and banks of streams when the flowing water has the capability of transporting additional sediment. Channel erosion usually is evident downstream from reservoirs, where the relatively sediment- free streamflow will degrade the stream channel as the channel begins to achieve equilibrium with sediment-transport capacity.

Sediment is transported in suspension (suspended-sediment load) and as particles along the streambed (bedload). The suspended-sediment load commonly consists of clay, silt, and sand that usually travel at the velocity of the stream and that are held in suspension by the upward components of turbulent currents or by colloidal forces. Bedload consists of coarser sized sediment that comes from the bed and banks of the stream. Particles moving as bedload remain close to the streambed, usually within a few grain diameters for uniform sediment (Colby, 1963). The suspended-sediment load plus the bedload compose the total-sediment load.

Sediment deposition in water is dependent upon particle-fall velocity and the transporting capability of the water. Fall velocity of a particle is dependent upon the difference in density between the particle and the water, the viscosity of the water, and the size, shape, and flocculation of the particles. Flocculation is dependent upon the size, shape, and composition of the particles and on the turbulence and chemical properties of the water (Colby, 1963). Fluvial sediment generally is deposited in lakes or reser­ voirs, stream channels, or flood plains. Concepts of fluvial sediment are discussed in Colby (1963) and Guy (1970a).

Fluvial Sediment

Instantaneous suspended-sediment load (L ), in tons per day, is a function of water discharge (Q) in cubic feet per second, sediment concen­ tration (C) in milligrams per liter, and the conversion constant 0.0027. Suspended-sediment load is calculated as follows:

L = 0.0027 QC. (2) s

Annual loads of suspended sediment transported by the White River at site 3 for water years 1983-87 were estimated from least-square regressions that related instantaneous suspended-sediment load to instantaneous water discharge. Three regressions were developed from periodic samples using log- transformed data for concentrations of suspended sediment and instantaneous water discharge for water years 1983-87. The data were selectively grouped to define the suspended-sediment load and water-discharge characteristics for hydrologic seasons as follows: (1) The rising and peak flows during spring and early summer from snowmelt runoff; (2) the receding streamflows of summer that follow the peak snowmelt conditions; and (3) the base flows of fall and winter. The regressions used to relate suspended-sediment loads to water discharge for the three hydrologic seasons at site 3 are shown in figure 22.

Instantaneous bedload was measured at site 3 during 1984-86 from 18 samples of bedload. The samples were collected with a Helley-Smith bedload sampler using the techniques described by Emmett (1980). Each sample was collected in conjunction with samples for suspended sediment at identical locations in the stream. Instantaneous bedload (£h), in tons per day, is a

function of sampled bedload weight (&O, in grams, width of the stream (D ),

in feet, the conversion constant 0.0952, horizontal width of the sampler intake (S ), in feet, number of verticals (N), and the time of sampling per

IV

vertical (T), in seconds. Instantaneous bedload is calculated as follows:

W, D 0.0952L = -^ K (3) Lb S N T U; w

Instantaneous bedloads were compared with instantaneous suspended- sediment loads that were collected simultaneously with bedload data (table 9). For a water-discharge range of 599-6,090 ft3/s, bedload was less than 1.2 percent of the suspended-sediment load. Because bedload was small at site 3, it was not considered a substantial part of the estimated annual sedi­ ment loads to Kenney Reservoir.

The regression estimates of instantaneous suspended-sediment load (L )O

were assumed applicable for computing daily suspended-sediment load (L ,) from

daily mean water discharges (£> ,) for the three hydrologic seasons. Because

bias may be introduced when using log-transformed data for regression analy­ sis, a bias correction factor (C, ), as presented by Ferguson (1986) and

discussed by Elliott and Defeyter (1986), was applied to each regression. The bias correction factor for conversion from common logarithms to the general antilogarithm form is a function of the regression variance (s 2 ) and is expressed as follows:

(4)

where e equals 2.71828 and is the base for natural logarithms. The general antilogarithm form of the regressions shown in figure 21 combined with the bias correction factor is as follows:

Ls = 10a Qb Cb , (5)

where a is the regression constant and b is the regression coefficient. Using the assumption that

the regressions used to compute mean daily suspended-sediment loads (L ,) from

daily water discharge (Q ,) for the hydrologic seasons are:

Rising and peak flow Lsd = KT 1 - 025 J^1 - 491 1.207 (7)

Base flow L . = 1(T6 - 725 Q 3 - 23 1.642 (9)sa or

The computed daily suspended-sediment loads were summed to determine annual suspended-sediment loads in the lower White River.

Annual suspended-sediment loads for the 5 water years, 1983-87, in the White River at site 3, and annual suspended-sediment loads for the 9 water years, 1973-81, for the discontinued streamflow-gaging station 09306300, are plotted in figure 23. The sediment data from station 09306300 were computed using the procedures discussed previously and are included in figure 23 to improve the definition of suspended-sediment transport for years of low flow in the lower White River. Although analysis of covariance at the 0.05 level of significance indicated that the annual suspended-sediment loads and water discharges from both sites might be combined into one regression, two regres­ sions were used because of the distance between the sites (12 mi) and because concurrent data were not collected at the sites. Comparisons are further limited because annual suspended-sediment loads could not be determined for similar ranges of annual water discharge at either site.

Analysis of data (figs. 22 and 23) indicated that during water years 1983-87 annual suspended-sediment loads in the lower White River at site 3 ranged from about 391,000 tons in 1987 to about 1,570,000 tons in 1984. Mean annual suspended-sediment load at site 3 for 1983-87 was approximately 1,040,000 tons. For the 3 water years (1985-87) of reservoir existence, however, annual suspended-sediment loads at site 3 ranged from 391,000 to 1,070,000 tons. During 1973-81, when annual water discharge at station 09306300 ranged from 312 fts/s (about 226,000 acre-ft) to 766 fts/s (about 555,000 acre-ft), annual suspended-sediment loads near the present dam site (fig. 2) ranged from about 104,000 tons in 1977 to about 747,000 tons in 1978. The mean annual suspended-sediment load at station 09306300 for 1973-81 was approximately 482,000 tons. Improved regressions for estimating annual suspended-sediment loads for medium- and low-flow runoff years in the White River at site 3 should be possible when additional data are collected.

Additional short-term, but large, discharges of sediment to the main stem of the White River may occur from tributary basins during intense thunder­ storms. As an example, an estimated 290,000 tons of sediment transport from the Piceance basin was reported from a single storm near the mouth of Yellow Creek (fig. 1) in 1978 (U.S. Geological Survey, 1979). Although evidence of this event is inferred in figure 23, such events may go undetected when samples are collected periodically.

Bedload was mostly sand (about 86 percent sand and about 13 percent gravel). Variations in size composition of bedload were independent of water discharge and sediment load.

Sediment Retention in the Reservoir

Because water-discharge and sediment data were not collected immediately downstream from the dam, direct measurements of sediment retention and reser­ voir trap efficiency of Kenney Reservoir were not possible. However, indirect estimates of sediment retention and trap efficiency in the reservoir were determined from data comparisons of samples for suspended solids (tables 13 and 14 in the "Hydrologic Data" section) collected from the 2-ft and near bottom depths within the reservoir at sites 1 and 2. In addition, data for suspended solids in the reservoir were compared with suspended-sediment data in the White River at site 3.

Concentrations of suspended solids generally decreased from the inlet (site 2) to the dam (site 1). The percent retention of suspended solids for a range of water discharge is shown in figure 24. The percent retention in con­ centrations of suspended solids from site 2 to site 1 ranged from about 65 to 98 percent when inflow was less than 1,000 ft3/s; the percentage decreased to about 30 to 80 percent when inflow was greater than 2,500 ft3/s (fig. 24). These values should approximate the percent retention or reservoir trap effi­ ciency of clay and perhaps, very fine silts that entered the reservoir. Sedi­ ment particles that had general fall velocities in excess of 1 mm per second, such as coarse silts and sands, most likely were deposited along the reservoir bottom before the samples for suspended solids were collected. Assuming a generally small value of approximately 65 percent retention of clay and total retention of silt and sand in the reservoir, the estimated total sediment retention of the reservoir during high runoff years was calculated as 0.65 (25 percent clay) plus 1.00 (46 percent silt) plus 1.00 (29 percent sand) or equal to about 91 percent of the suspended sediment that entered Kenney Reservoir.

Concentrations of suspended solids at sites 1 and 2 in Kenney Reservoir were compared with concentrations of suspended sediment measured in the White River (site 3). Although direct comparison of suspended solids with suspended sediment may include some analytical and sampling error, both methods provide an acceptable measure of suspended matter in water. Data were evaluated for approximate time of travel between site 3 and the reservoir (approximately 2 to 5 hours) and for residence time within the reservoir (table 2). Eight sets of data that had collection times between sites that approximated the down­ stream time of travel were selected. Comparison of data within each set indicated that when daily suspended-sediment loads exceeded 100 tons in the White River, suspended-sediment concentrations decreased about 74 percent from the White River (site 3) to the inlet (site 2) and decreased about 94 percent from the White River (site 3) to the dam (site 1).

Daily concentrations of suspended solids at site 1 were estimated from regressions that related instantaneous concentrations of suspended solids for the 2-ft and near-bottom depths and an average of both depths at site 1 with reservoir inflow measured at site 3. The coefficients of determination (r 2 ) of the 3 regressions ranged from 0.43 to 0.71. Because the reservoir capacity is small, it was assumed that daily mean water discharge to the reservoir approximated daily mean water discharge from the reservoir. Mean daily and mean annual suspended-solids loads that theoretically were discharged from the 2-ft or near-bottom depths at site 1 were determined using the regression estimates for daily concentrations of suspended solids and inflow discharge.

The estimated values of sediment retention, by using the three previously described methods, ranged from 91 to 98 percent. These results are large when compared with estimates for sediment retention developed from methods of Brune (1953) and Churchill (1948). Brune developed a set of curves for estimating sediment retention based on capacity-inflow ratios. The application of Brune's curves to Kenney Reservoir indicates that sediment retention would range from about 50 to 75 percent. Churchill's method, which uses capacity-inflow data and mean velocity of flow through the reservoir, indicated that sediment reten­ tion in Kenney Reservoir would be about 85 percent. The methods of Brune and Churchill, however, do not completely address size distribution of sediment. The coarse size composition (about 75 percent sand and silt) and related rapid deposition within the reservoir of the suspended sediment from the White River probably account for most of the differences between the estimates of sediment retention presented in this report and the estimates by using the methods of Brune and Churchill. Data for reservoir percent retention of suspended solids (fig. 24), however, are within the range of estimates of sediment retention by using the methods of Brune and Churchill.

A method for deriving original volume and compacted sediment volume displacement and percent loss of original reservoir capacity from methods of reservoir operation and average size composition of input sediment loads is presented in Strand and Pemberton (1982). The method of Strand and Pemberton, as applied to Kenney Reservoir, is exemplified in table 10. Based on a 91-percent sediment retention for the reservoir and the annual suspended- sediment load data at station 09306300 and site 3, annual volume displacement during 1973-87 would have ranged from about 0.5 percent in 1977 to about 7 percent in 1984 of the original reservoir capacity. After completion of the reservoir in late 1984, the estimated capacity loss ranged from about 1.8 percent in 1987, when the annual suspended-sediment load equaled about 391,000 tons, to about 5 percent in 1985, when the annual suspended-sediment load was approximately 1,070,000 tons.

By using the mean annual suspended-sediment load of 1,040,000 tons (site 3) for 1983-87, about 4.5 to about 5.0 percent of the original reservoir capacity would have been displaced by sediment in a year of average stream- flow. If, however, the mean annual suspended-sediment load of 482,000 tons determined for discontinued gaging station 09306300 for 1973-81 is used, then the projected loss of original reservoir capacity would have been about 2.2 percent during a year of average water discharge.

Volume displacement and percent loss of original reservoir capacity for estimates of sediment retention are shown in figure 26. Not shown in figure 26 are possible additional increases in volume displacement that might result from occasional major runoff events from the semi-arid tributary basins upstream from the reservoir. Capacity loss may be less if near-bottom currents within the reservoir discharged scoured sediments through the bottom release outlet.

SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS

The construction of Taylor Draw Dam and filling of Kenney Reservoir during 1984 were done in response to increased water-management needs in northwestern Colorado. To evaluate possible processes and changes that may occur in the reservoir after filling and the effects of sediment transport to the reservoir, physical, chemical, and biological data needed to be collected to define seasonal variations in vertical and areal water-quality character­ istics. Physical, chemical, and biological data collected during the first 3 years of reservoir operation (1985-87) are presented and summarized for two sites in Kenney Reservoir. Related water-quality data and sediment character­ istics during 1983-87 are summarized for one site on the White River about 8 mi upstream from the reservoir. Data from the three sites were compared to determine and evaluate changes in water-quality characteristics caused by impoundment. In addition, fluvial sediment loads were determined for the White River upstream from the reservoir for 1983-87, and sediment retention in the reservoir was estimated. During 1983-87, the mean annual discharge in the White River (site 3) was about 174 percent of the mean annual discharge for the period of record (1973-81) at a discontinued streamflow-gaging station near the present dam site.

Water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen at various depths were measured at the dam (site 1) and near the reservoir inlet (site 2). Some stratification developed during summer when temperatures at site 1 generally decreased 3 to 5 °C from the surface to the bottom. Maximum surface temperatures in the reservoir were 23.8 °C at site 1 and 24.4 °C at site 2. Surface temperatures in the reservoir during summer were similar to temperatures measured in the White River at site 3 during summer.

After initial flushing, specific conductance in the reservoir ranged from 374 to 932 pS/cm, and values for the White River at site 3 ranged from 375 to 963 fJS/cm. Specific conductance was least during snowmelt runoff in May and June and greatest during low flow in fall and winter. Specific conductance varied little with depth. Lateral differences between sites were attributed to variations in discharge and time of travel. Predicted values of dissolved- solids concentrations from regression relations between values of specific conductance and concentrations of dissolved solids were similar at all three sites.

Measured values of pH in Kenney Reservoir generally ranged from 7.4 to 8.8; exceptions to this range of pH (9.0 to 9.2) occurred in localized water that contained a phytoplankton bloom in June 1987. Values of pH exceeded 8.5 only in near-surface water that was supersaturated with dissolved oxygen. Values of pH decreased with depth and were least (about 7.4 to 8.0) near the bottom of the reservoir. The small values of pH were attributed to the accumulation of C02 by respiration and other byproducts of organic decomposi­ tion. Values from periodic measurements of pH in the White River (site 3) during 1985-87 ranged from 8.0 to 8.8.

Concentrations of dissolved oxygen in the reservoir at sites 1 and 2 generally ranged from 2.3 to 10.1 mg/L; measured values in the White River (site 3) during 1985-87 ranged from 7.8 to 12.5 mg/L. A concentration of 0.0 mg/L was measured near the bottom at site 1 shortly after the reservoir filled. Maximum concentrations of dissolved oxygen (14.0 to 18.0 mg/L) in the

reservoir occurred in locally concentrated areas of a phytoplankton bloom in June 1987. Dissolved oxygen at the dam (site 1) decreased with depth during summer but concentrations remained equal to or greater than 4.0 mg/L in depths less than 35 ft. Supersaturation of dissolved oxygen from photosynthesis occurred in shallow depths at both reservoir sites. Biological activies such as respiration and decomposition decreased the dissolved-oxygen concentration at near-bottom depths. Except for two samples collected from localized growths of phytoplankton in June 1987, 5-day BOD in Kenney Reservoir ranged from 0.7 to 2.3 mg/L. The 5-day BOD in samples collected from the phyto­ plankton bloom in June 1987 exceeded 25 mg/L. Generally, BOD was slightly less in Kenney Reservoir when compared with BOD in the White River.

Secchi-disk measurements in the reservoir ranged from 11 to 144 in. Turbidity in NTU measured at 2-ft depths was least (1.2 NTU) at site 1 and greatest (220 NTU) at site 2. Data comparisons indicated that light penetra­ tion and general water clarity improved substantially from the inlet (site 2) to the dam (site 1), especially during low-flow periods.

Major ion types in the White River and Kenney Reservoir were similar and ranged from a hard to very hard calcium bicarbonate type when discharge in the White River exceeded 3,500 ft3/s. When flows were less than 400 ft3/s, water- quality type was a very hard calcium magnesium sulfate bicarbonate.

Concentrations of nitrogen, phosphorus, and total organic carbon in Kenney Reservoir and in the White River varied with season and runoff condi­ tions. Concentrations of ammonia as nitrogen, nitrite plus nitrate as nitro­ gen, and organic nitrogen generally were greatest in the White River (site 3) during spring runoff and least in near-surface waters at the dam (site 1) during fall. Ammonia concentrations as great as 0.13 mg/L were generated from biological decomposition near the reservoir bottom during summer; however, concentrations of ammonia may increase if anaerobic conditions develop.

Concentrations of dissolved phosphorus most frequently were less than 0.1 mg/L in the White River (site 3) and less than 0.05 mg/L in Kenney Reservoir. Large concentrations of nitrogen (greater than 1.5 mg/L) and phosphorus (0.3 to 0.62 mg/L) were measured in the White River during spring runoff in 1987. These large nutrient concentrations preceded a phytoplankton bloom that occurred in Kenney Reservoir during June 1987.

Twenty-two trace constituents were sampled from near-surface and near- bottom depths during high- and low-flow periods at site 1. Concentrations of iron and manganese were greater than 1,000 M8/^ only in the first sample collected near the reservoir bottom at site 1 in January 1985. Except for the one-time measurements of total recoverable iron and manganese in January 1985 and the concentrations of total recoverable mercury (as much as 0.2 |Jg/L), all concentrations of trace constituents were less than the recommended concentra­ tions established by the State of Colorado for cold-water biota. Concentra­ tions of total recoverable copper, mercury, and zinc tended to be slightly greater in the White River than concentrations measured in Kenney Reservoir.

A total of 210 species from 7 phyla of phytoplankton were identified from single depth and composite samples collected in Kenney Reservoir. Bacillariophyta (diatoms) and chlorophyta (green algae) were the most common

61

Page 68: WATER-QUALITY AND SEDIMENT-TRANSPORT … · 2011-02-08 · Chrysophyta, Cryptophyta, Euglenophyta, and Pyrrhophyta in Kenney Reservoir (sites 1 and 2), water years 1985-87 43 20

phytoplankton collected during 1985-86; cyanophyta (blue-green algae) were dominant in 1987. Cell counts increased during summer and were greater at site 1 than at site 2. Except for an algae bloom in June 1987, the maximum combined cell count (unrounded value) for the three major phyla (diatoms, green algae, and blue-green algae) was slightly greater than 15,000 cells/mL.

Species compositions of phytoplankton samples collected from the 2-ft depth in 1985 and 1986 were compared with concurrent collections of composite samples of the euphotic zone. Although the composite method for phytoplankton collection alone would have yielded about 22 percent more species than collec­ tions obtained solely at the 2-ft depth, the presence or reoccurrence of 154 species during 1985 and 1986 would have gone undetected if the single depth samples (2-ft) were omitted from the program.

In June 1987, a phytoplankton bloom that consisted almost entirely of the dinoflagellate, Peridinium biceps, developed in the reservoir. Subsurface growths that appeared as dark brown patches and stringers contained counts of 71,000 cells/mL. Large concentrations of dissolved oxygen (14.0-18.0 mg/L), pH (9.0-9.2 units), and 5-day BOD (greater than 25 mg/L) were measured in water that contained the phytoplankton growths. Increases in the hydraulic residence time, water clarity, water temperature, and possibly nutrient concentrations in Kenney Reservoir in 1987, when compared with 1985 and 1986, probably contributed to the bloom.

The diversity index (DI) for phytoplankton species identified from all samples ranged from 0.11 to 3.99 at the dam (site 1) and from 0.18 to 4.02 near the inlet (site 2). The DI generally was greater at site 2 than at site 1.

Concentrations, in colonies per 100 milliliters, of total coliform bacteria ranged from less than 2 to 1,100; concentrations of fecal coliform bacteria ranged from less than 2 to 380; and concentrations of fecal strepto­ cocci bacteria ranged from less than 3 to 960. Bacteria concentrations were greatest at site 2 during high runoff, and concentrations generally decreased from site 2 to site 1. The FC/FS ratios were less than 2.0 and generally were less than 1.0. Sources of bacteria in the reservoir most likely were indige­ nous to the basin and not from nearby human origins.

Annual suspended-sediment loads at site 3, during water years 1983-87, ranged from 391,000 to 1,570,000 tons. Bedload was less than 1.2 percent of suspended-sediment load in 18 measurements throughout a range (599-6,090 ft3/s) of water discharge. Because bedload was small, it was not considered a sub­ stantial part of the annual sediment load.

Size composition of 20 samples of suspended sediment averaged 25 percent clay, 46 percent silt, and 29 percent sand. Changes in percent composition of suspended sediment seemed to be independent of changes in sediment concentra­ tion, water discharge, and sediment load. Bedload was mostly sand (average bedload was about 86 percent sand and about 13 percent gravel), and the percent composition also seemed to be independent of water discharge and sediment load.

Sediment retention in Kenney Reservoir was estimated by using three methods. Data indicated that about 91 to about 98 percent of the total sediment load to the reservoir was retained since filling of the reservoir was completed in late 1984. Calculations of volume displacement in Kenney Reservoir, based on sediment load and size composition, and sediment retention comparisons with independent methods were summarized. Data collected during 1985-87 indicated that about 1.8 to 5 percent of the original capacity of the reservoir was displaced each year by sediment deposition. Data collected during 1973-87, however, indicated that the annual displacement could range from 0.5 to 7 percent each year. Variables such as sediment discharges from local tributary basins and sediment scour and discharge from the bottom of the reservoir were not measured.

Comparisons of water-quality data for the White River (site 3) with water impounded in Kenney Reservoir (sites 1 and 2) indicated:

1. Water releases at depth from the reservoir during summer generally would be several degrees cooler when compared with daytime maximum temperatures in the White River (site 3).

2. Differences between sites in values of specific conductance and concen­ trations of dissolved solids, major ions, and trace constituents were minor or insignificant. Changes in values for these chemical character­ istics principally were related to changes in streamflow.

3. Values of pH and dissolved oxygen were substantially less at depth during summer when compared with values measured near the reservoir surface and in the White River. Large values of pH and dissolved oxygen that were generated from photosynthesis in near-surface water in Kenney Reservoir were greater than values measured in the White River at site 3. Recur­ rences of these values in the reservoir during summer are probable.

4. Residence time was sufficient for most suspended matter to settle; therefore, substantial increases in water clarity of the White River between sites 3 and site 1 occurred during impoundment.

5. Decreases in concentrations of nitrate plus nitrite as nitrogen and phosphorus, probably as a result of biological uptake, occurred, and there were apparent gradual increases in concentrations of ammonia as nitrogen at depth during summer from respiration.

6. Suspended solids tend to adsorb organics as they settle; therefore,concentrations of bacteria and other related organics, such as organic nitrogen, were decreased in the water column as water flowed through the reservoir.

7. Phytoplankton blooms and the effects of the blooms on water quality within the reservoir were substantial. Major phytoplankton blooms probably will occur when there are associated increases in residence time, water clarity, and water temperature and possibly when large concentrations of nutrients exist during periods of decreased inflow.

8. Sediment transport by the White River upstream from the reservoir was decreased approximately 91 percent or greater after filling of Kenney Reservoir. The long-term effects of sediment removal and storage on the White River downstream from Kenney Reservoir were not assessed.
