Although integrated with <br />Reclamation's work, both of these agencies have their own authorities to <br />implemeht their respective programs, The Colorado River Basin Salinity <br />Control Program relies heavily on these agencies' continued participation. <br /> <br />Although any proposal may be evaluated under Reclamation's ranking <br />procedur;es, some proposals recommended for implementation may not be <br />funded by Reclamation if they fall within the bounds of some other agency's <br />authoriti,kls, For example, the USDA Salinity Control Program is <br />responsible for onfann irrigation improvements and rangeland <br />improveJtlents on private lands. BLM is responsible for the rangeland <br />manage~ent program on BLM lands. EPA and the Basin States administer <br />a polluti~n discharge permitting program that sets point source discharge <br />standardll for salinity and provides financial assistance for publicly owned <br />treatment works, <br /> <br />19 <br /> <br />_ J <br /> <br />-"- ~, <br /> <br />. .'~C <br /> <br />,-.Ii <br /> <br />~Ji <br /> <br />..1";,,,<,,-.". <br />
