The Operations of the Fisheries Division for the Year Ending June 30 Were Very Much of a Routine Nature So Far As Production and Distribution Were Concerned 196I.1962 FISH PLANTING REPORT Attached ie a detailed planting report for Fiscal Year ending June 30, 1962. The operations of the Fisheries Division for the year ending June 30 were very much of a routine nature so far as production and distribution were concerned. However, better than usual water conditions in most areas in the spring of. 1962 have been very helpful in maintaining good fishing throughout the summer. The one exception to this would be the Prescott area where the loss of Hassayampa Lake which was taken over by the City of Prescott to augment the domestic water supply and the fact that Granite Basin Lake did not receive any spring runoff reeulted in limited planting in the atea. Some trout fishing was provided for this area by planting trout in Watson Lake which is a very marginal trout water. Water conditiong in many of our lakes and streams were very low and of poor quality during the first part of the fiscal year curtailing fishing to some extent in most trout areas but warm water fishing maintained a good average throughout the aeason. A good runoff during the spring made much better conditions for the spring fishing. The D-J Project F-7-R continues to supply valuabl.e information for the management of both the warm and cold water fishery.

  • Tonto Creek Total Nitrogen TMDL Effectiveness Monitoring Report Recommendation for Delisting
    Tonto Creek Total Nitrogen TMDL Effectiveness Monitoring Report Recommendation for Delisting Executive Summary Tonto Creek was placed on Arizona’s Water Quality Impaired Waters List 303(d) for Total Nitrogen initially in 1996 due to exceeding the aquatic and wildlife cold water (A&Wc) and warm water (A&Ww) designated uses. Total Nitrogen on Tonto Creek has an annual mean standard of 0.5 milligrams per liter (mg/L) and a single sample maximum (SSM) standard of 2.0 mg/L. Two reaches of Tonto Creek were listed as impaired due to exceedances of the annual mean nitrogen standard, Reach 013A is the headwaters to confluence with unnamed tributary at N 34° 18’ 10”/W 111° 04’ 14” and Reach 013B is Tonto Creek from unnamed tributary at N 34° 18’ 10”/W 111° 04’ 14” to Haigler Creek. The Total Nitrogen Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) was completed in June 2005. The TMDL identified several nonpoint sources as contributors to Total Nitrogen concentrations in Tonto Creek including recreational uses and unincorporated communities/summer home clusters (ADEQ 2005). There is also a permitted point source in the watershed, Arizona Game and Fish Department’s (AGFD) Tonto Creek Fish Hatchery. The 2005 Tonto Creek TMDL recommended implementation projects and appropriate best management practices (BMPs) to decrease the Total Nitrogen levels in Tonto Creek. Through Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Water Quality Improvement Grant (WQIG) funding and other projects, septic system upgrades were made throughout the impaired watershed. AGFD also made several upgrades to the facility. These projects working in concert with each other were effective in reducing Total Nitrogen loads in Tonto Creek.
