(a wholly <br /> <br /> <br />owned subsidiary of ',\1. R. Grace & Co.) is indeed a <br /> <br />significant milestone. The Advisory Council endorses the <br /> <br />current efforts of Reclamation an1 Aquatrain to enlist the <br /> <br />participation of other coal producers, transportation <br /> <br />companies, an"! coal use>:s in this unique joint venture. <br /> <br />11embers of the Advisory Council, acting in their capacities <br /> <br />as Forum members and officials of their respective States <br /> <br />continue to assist Reclamation and Aquatrain in addressing <br /> <br /> <br />State and local permitting requirements as well as interstate <br /> <br />and intrastate water rights issues. <br /> <br /> <br />In addition to the above salinity control projects, <br /> <br /> <br />. other projects in the Basin appear. to .have- some promise. The <br /> <br /> <br />Washington County Water Conservancy District, Utah, has deve- <br /> <br />loped plans for the development of a local project on the <br />Virgin River system known as the Quail Creek Project. In- <br />cluded in the District's feasibility studies of the Quail <br /> <br />Creek Project is a salinity control component similar to the <br /> <br />La Verkin Springs Unit which has been reported, by the <br /> <br />District, to be cost effective. In the same river basin in <br /> <br />Nevada, local utilities have expressed an interest in <br /> <br />utilizing saline ground water for power plant cooling. <br /> <br />Reclamation has previously conducted studies of salinity <br /> <br />-8- <br /> <br />;4h-,;{jf <br />
