- Description:
- The upper and middle Big Wood River Valley has experienced large population this growth associated with recreational development. Much of has been and will continue to be in rural areas, making private and small community water systems and individual on-site sewage disposal facilities necessary. There are currently about 85 approved subdivisions in the study area, with a projected build-out of 2,151 units, 713 of which are currently built. The currently subdivided buildable area 1s approximately 5,860 acres of a total buildable area of approximately 21,270 acres. The current building density of non-sewered areas is approximately 6.64 acres per unit for the study area and approximately 1.60 acres per unit for the city of Bellevue. The projected building density of non-sewered areas is approximately 2.21 acres per unit for the study area and approximately 0.75 acres per unit for the city of Bellevue. It is assumed that individual and group on-site sewage disposal facilities currently contribute about 24,900 pounds per year of nitrate (N03-N) and about 4,500 pounds per year of soluble phosphate (p) into the ground water. The Hailey Woodside treatment-disposal facility currently contributes about 4,100 pounds per year of N03-N and about 740 pounds per year of P to the ground water. Nutrient loads under max1mum projected development are expected to be about 95,000 pounds per year of N03-N and about 17,000 pounds per year of P.
