Sand Creek (Denver, Colorado)

Sand Creek is a 〔U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline data. (The National Map ), accessed March 25, 2011〕 tributary that flows into the South Platte River near Commerce City, Colorado. From its source in unincorporated Arapahoe County, it flows through Aurora and Denver before joining the South Platte in Adams County.〔
==Benzene pollution in Sand Creek==
In November 2011, a local fisherman noticed an oily sheen on the surface of Sand Creek. Testing found the water of Sand Creek to be contaminated with abnormal levels of the aromatic hydrocarbon, benzene. The source of the benzene was a damaged pipe at the nearby Suncor refinery, from which benzene had seeped into the groundwater and surfaced at Sand Creek. In December 2011, the Colorado Department of Health and Environment began to monitor benzene levels at the junction of Sand Creek and the South Platte River. The results showed benzene levels ranging from 140 ppb to 730 ppb – far above the national EPA limit of 5 ppb. Further downriver in the South Platte, benzene levels were also found to be significantly elevated, ranging from 130 ppb to 190 ppb.〔Finley, Bruce (January 21, 2012). ("Toxics from Suncor refinery spill still seeping into water; Colorado vows to 'accelerate' response" ). ''The Denver Post''.〕 Although the source of the benzene has been fixed, levels still remain above the EPA standard for drinking water. This is of concern because the South Platte River is drawn on for drinking water by nearby communities and is frequently used for recreational activities such as swimming and fishing.
