<br />Basin Fund and the Lower Colorado River Basin Development <br /> <br />Fund. <br /> <br />In 1972 congress enacted amendments to the Federal <br /> <br />Water Pollution,control Act, commonly known as the Clean <br /> <br /> <br />Water Act. This Act sets forth a public policy embracing <br /> <br />the restoration and maintenance of water quality, <br /> <br />pollution effluent discharge limitations, and eventual <br /> <br /> <br />zero pOllution discharge. The Act was interpreted by the <br /> <br /> <br />Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as requiring for <br /> <br /> <br />the Colorado River water quality standards, numeric <br /> <br />salinity criteria, and a plan of implementation. The <br />basin states organized themselves in 1973 into the <br />Colorado River Basin salinity Control Forum (Forum). The <br />Forum, made up of representatives from the seven Basin <br />states, established numeric criteria at three stations <br /> <br />and a plan of implementation that described actions to <br />be taken to achieve the numeric criteria. <br /> <br />The criteria, set in terms of milligrams per liter <br /> <br />of total dissolved solids, <br /> <br />are: <br /> <br />Location <br /> <br />Annual Flow-Weighted <br />Averaae TDS (MaiL) <br /> <br />Below Hoover Dam <br />Below Parker Dam <br />At Imperial DAm <br /> <br />723 <br />747 <br />879 <br /> <br />-30- <br />
