For further explana- <br />tion and background information on the scope and nature of <br />the USDA program, refer to the USDA 1983 and 1984 Annual <br />Reports, Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program. <br />The USDA reports are available from the USDA, Soil <br />Conservation Service, Land Treatment program Division, <br />Box 2890, Washington, D.C. 20013. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />A summary of the potential capabilities of the various units <br />to remove salt, the amount of salt removed by operating <br />units, and the associated cost effectiveness are shown <br />in table 1. This information was derived from the basic <br />data tables in Appendix A. Backup data are available in the <br />Colorado River Water Quality Office. <br /> <br />The numbers in the following status descriptions are 1985 or <br />the latest numbers available and mayor may not be the same <br />as the numbers (1984) in the basic data tables. <br /> <br />Completed and Operatinq <br />Meeker Dome CO (BR) <br /> <br />During verification studies, the abandoned Scott, James, and <br />Marland oil wells were cleaned and plugged. A Planning <br />Report Concluding the Study on Meeker Dome Unit, Colorado, <br />completed in July 1985 reports a recent reduction in salt <br />load of 19,000 tons, bringing the total salt load reduction <br />to 50,000 tons. The salt reduction used in the model <br />(described later) was 48,000 tons. Monitoring of obser- <br />vation wells will be continued to make sure that the well <br />plugs remain intact. <br /> <br />Grand valley Staqe One CO (BR) <br /> <br />Seven miles of the Government Highline Canal lining, over 30 <br />miles of Government Highline Lateral replacements, and the <br />moss and debris removal structure are complete. The DPR <br />(Definite Plan Report) projected a decrease of 24,000 tons <br />from Stage One. Monitored results confirmed the removal <br />of 19,900 tons per year based on Reclamation facilities in <br />place. Hydrologic monitoring in the area is continuing. <br /> <br />18 <br />
