CCR Nutrient Balance
Highlights:
The nutrient balance will be updated and provided with an amended report later in 2024.
The nutrient concentrations of all inflows and the outflow of Cherry Creek Reservoir are used to calculate the mass storage on an annual basis. Phosphorus and nitrogen loading to the Reservoir results from surface water from Cherry and Cottonwood Creeks, precipitation and alluvial groundwater. The concentrations of each source are multiplied by their relative inflow to determine loading.
Relative Percentage of Inflows into Cherry Creek Reservoir WY 2023
| Source |
Total Phosphorus |
Total Nitrogen | % of Total Inflow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cherry Creek | TBD ug/L | TBD ug/L | TBD % |
| Cottonwood Creek | TBD ug/L | TBD ug/L | TBD % |
| Alluvial Groundwater | TBD ug/L | TBD ug/L | TBD % |
| Precipitation | TBD ug/L | TBD ug/L | TBD % |
| Weighted Total | TBD ug/L | TBD ug/L | TBD % |
TBD values will be updated and provided with an amended report later in 2024.
The flow-weighted influent phosphorus goal, derived as part of the 2009 Regulation 38 rulemaking process to achieve the 18 ug/L chlophyll α standard is 200 µg/L. The WY 2023 flow-weighted TP concentration of TBD ug/L for all inflows is TBD than recent years and historical medians. In contrast, the WY 2023 flow-weighted TN inflow concentration of TBD ug/L is TBD than recent years and historical medians.
