<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. With regard to funding for EQIP, preliminary indications are that Congress may again <br />reduce funding below the $200 million level established in the initial legislation. <br />President Clinton requested $300 million in his budget submittal. <br /> <br />. The Forum approved issuing the 1999 Triennial Review for public comment. The <br />Forum members approved various changes to the text including the Board's <br />recommendation concerning the time period required to clear the backlog of salinity <br />control projects. Two public hearings will be held during the week of August 23"'. The <br />first will be held in Los Angeles, California, and the second in Lyman, Wyoming. <br /> <br />. Funding for Forum activities during FY 1999-2000 was set at $145,000. California's <br />share is $31,610. <br /> <br />. With regard to the Atlas Uranium Mill Tailings, the Forum members passed a motion <br />authorizing the Forum's Executive Director to send a letter to the Nuclear Regulatory <br />Commission recommending that the tailings be moved to a remote location. <br /> <br />California Regional Water Quality Control Board <br /> <br />Included in the Board folder is a Notice of Pub lie Hearing, issued by the California Regional <br />Water Quality Control Board, Colorado River Basin Region (Regional Board), to solicit comments <br />regarding the draft Triennial Review List. The draft Triennial Review List is tentatively scheduled <br />for consideration for adoption at the June 10, 1999 Regional Board meeting in Indian Wells, <br />California. In response to California developing its 4.4 Plan, the Regional Board has proposed that <br />a policy be developed encouraging recycling as part of the List. The Regional Board staff has <br />proposed to develop the policy and incorporate it into the Basin Plan via an amendment. <br /> <br />Atlas Corporation's Uranium Mill Tailings <br /> <br />Last month at the Board's meeting in South Lake Tahoe, representatives from the Nuclear <br />Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the Denver office of the Environmental Protection Agency <br />discussed with the Board their role and authorities in dealing with the mill tailings that have been <br />deposited along the Colorado River near Moah, Utah. <br /> <br />During March 1999, the NRC issued its Final Environmental Impact Statement Report <br />Related to Reclamation of the Uranium Mill Tailings at the Atlas Site, Moah, Utah. I have included <br />in the Board folder a copy of a letter from MWD to the NRC expressing its concerns with the <br />conclusions of the FEIR and again recommending that the mill tailings be removed from the site. <br /> <br />The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum, at its meeting in Durango, Colorado, on <br />May 27'h, supported a resolution authorizing its Executive Director to send a letter to the NRC <br />informing the NRC that the members of the Forum recommend that the tailings be moved to a <br />remote location. A copy of that letter is in your handout. <br /> <br />6 <br />
