Minor reduced irrigation induced erosion, <br /> <br />sediment movement, and improved water quality of the surface and ground water will <br /> <br />also occur. The overail effect is an improvement in the water quality of return flows <br /> <br />and groundwater within the watershed. Nutrient and selenium state standards will not <br /> <br />be met. <br /> <br />The amount of cont'lminants entering the ecological system from agriculture would be <br /> <br />reduced slightly rv utilizing this alternative. The social and economic conditions would <br /> <br />have minor ch,lnC'''s as improved water application effectiveness ailows the agricultural <br /> <br />producers to better meet crop needs and contribute to the goal of improved water <br /> <br />quality. The known cultural resources in the area would not be impacted. <br /> <br />i'lliffi <br />
