<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />l\) findings, init.i.ation of construction on Stage II should be <br />en <br />l~ initiated as soon as possible. In particular, work should <br />CO <br />. begin on designs and specifications for those portions of the <br /> <br />Stage II area that show considerable promise for salinity <br /> <br />reduction. ~he area west of Stage One shows significant <br /> <br />potential for salt load reduction. <br /> <br />As authorized by Sec. 202(2) of P.L. 93-320, Reclamation <br /> <br />should include an evaluation of the cost savings of canal <br /> <br />consolidation as Dart o~ the alternatives for salinity <br /> <br />control in the Stage II planning effort. Reclamation should <br /> <br />, <br />work closely with local canal ann lateral representatives to <br /> <br />resolve any di.fficulties associated \'i'ith canal consolidation. <br /> <br />Paradox Valley Unit, Colorado - The Paradox Valley Unit, <br />like Grand Valley, has been studied for 10 years. Results of <br /> <br />recent studies by conSUlting engineers indicate that deep <br />well inj4Ction appears to be the most cost effective alterna- <br />tive for brine disposal. Reclamation should expedite the <br />contract for drilling and testing of the deep well injection <br />disposal method. However, program flexibility should be <br />maintained so that if the deep well alternative proves infea- <br /> <br />sible, planning and field investigation work on other <br /> <br />alternatives can move forward. <br /> <br />Las~~_~~~!L!!!!.it, N~~~da - The Las Vegas ":Jash Unit <br /> <br /> <br />Definite Plan Report (DPR) was prepared in 1977. Because of <br /> <br />changing ground water conditions and increased costs of salt <br /> <br />removal of the recommended control plan, construction was <br /> <br />-4- <br />
