1978 Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan
In 1978, Salt Lake County completed its Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan in accordance with section 208 of the Clean Water Act. This plan has served as a guiding document for nearly 28 years. However, in August of 2005, South Valley Sewer District (SVSD) made a request to amend the Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan. In the process of re-visiting the 1978 plan, it became apparent that numerous factors such as land-use, population projections, jurisdictional boundaries, water quality requirements/impairments, water supply/use, and wastewater treatment processes have changed significantly since 1978. As a result, the Salt Lake County Council allocated monies into the 2006 budget to initiate the development of a Water Quality Stewardship Plan (WaQSP), which will update the existing Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan. This WaQSP will contain all of the essential elements found in the original Area-Wide Water Quality Management Plan and will incorporate guidance from the recently published Handbook for Developing Watershed Plans to Restore and Protect Our Waters (EPA, 2006).
