BACKGROUND
Intermountain Concrete Company stores, washes, and sizes gravel for use in the construction industry. Wash water is obtained from irrigation ditches and is used to clean the gravel. The makeup for the wash water is taken by water right from irrigation ditches. The makeup water then travels through three ponds known as West Pond, Middle Pond, and Main Pond. Water is pumped from the Main pond to the wash plant. After its use in the wash plant, it is discharged to the first of two settling basins. It is then transferred to a second settling basin. This water is recycled from the second settling basin back to the Main Pond. Outfall 001 drains the Main Pond from a pipe located deep in the pond. A second discharge point, Outfall 002, is located on the Main Pond to handle any excess water in the system.
