Objective(s) <br />--.t <br /> <br />PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION PLAN <br /> <br />A. To reduce deep percolation from irrigated fields by 33,000 acre- <br />feet and seepage from on-farm earthen ditches by 18,000 acre-feet. These <br />are annual reduction goals. <br /> <br />B. To reduce on-farm/off-farm salt loading by 10,800 tons/year on- <br />farm and by 1,200 tons/year off-farm by the end of the projected 20 year <br />application of the program. <br /> <br />C. To minimize adverse effect of salinity control practices on <br />wetland and wildlife habitat by identifying opportunities that will replace <br />wildlife values foregone. <br /> <br />II PLANNING ACTIVITIES <br /> <br />A. On-Farm and Off-Farm <br /> <br />~~.5~> <br /> <br />1. Anticipated planning will begin FY 1992 with authorization of <br />TA funds. Expansion of practices to be applied in this area were approved <br />in the FY 1991 PIP Plan. See attachment #2 for practices to be used during <br />planning. These practices will reduce salt loading and increase <br />efficiencies of irrigation systems and attaining a higher level of <br />irrigation water management. <br /> <br />B. Eligible Practices and Cost-Share Levels (1) <br /> <br />1.On Farm Salt Load Reduction: (SRP-l) - 70% cost share <br />(See attachment #2 for components and effective lifespan.) <br /> <br />2.0ff Farm Salt Load REduction: (SRP-2)-70% cost share <br />(See attachment #2 for components and effective lifespan.) <br /> <br />3.Permanent Wildlife Habitat: (SRP-3) - 70% cost share <br />(See attachment #2 for components and effective lifespan.) <br /> <br />4.Shallow Water Areas For Wildlife: (SRP-4) - 70% cost share <br />(See attachment #2 for components and effective lifespan.) <br /> <br />(1) Please see the attached cost share dockets for more specific <br />information on cost sharing. <br /> <br />1 <br />
