The Uinta County Conservation District's water program was initiated when three of Uinta County’s major rivers were placed on the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality’s 303(d) list of impaired waters. Click here to go to Wyoming DEQ's Water Quality Division to learn more. The Blacks Fork and
Smiths Fork Rivers, located on the eastern side of the county, were both
listed as impaired due to e. coli bacteria and the Smiths Fork was also
listed for habitat degradation causing excess sediment loading to the
stream. The Bear River, on the western side of the county, was listed
as impaired due to excess sediment in the stream which was affecting
aquatic life in the river. Watershed plans are completed and
approved for these rivers. For more information or to receive a
copy of the watershed plans, please contact Kerri Sabey by
email or at 787-3794 ext 4. |
