Basic data <br />colleceion is the only ongoing activity of the study. <br /> <br />Recent ~iscussions between Reclamation and BLM have led to <br />an agre~ment that Reclamation will fund and perform advance <br />planning activities. Funding will not be available, <br />however;, until 1988. <br /> <br />" <br />,j <br />'.1 <br />"~1 <br />-j <br /> <br />Biq San~y River Unit WY (BR/USDA) <br /> <br />Although USDA has a published report, there is no recom- <br />mended ~lan. A low pressure sprinkler system alternative <br />appear~ to be cost effective for the 15,000 acre irrigation <br />salt squrce area if supplemental, low interest loans and <br />cost sharing at the 70 percent level were obtained. The <br />State d,f Wyoming supports this USDA low pressure sprinkler <br />altern~tive and has requested SCS to proceed with develop- <br />ment of a selected plan. <br /> <br />The St~te of Wyoming has also requested Reclamation to <br />refine Ithe salt and water budget related to selected lining <br />of can~ls and laterals in the Eden-Farson area. Planning <br />will be targeted toward selected lining of unlined segments <br />of the canal and lateral system. <br /> <br />The combination of off-farm delivery system and onfarm irri- <br />gation ,efficiency allows the SCS to recommend low pressure <br />sprink~er systems for onfarm salinity program elements. SCS <br />and Reclamation will continue the evaluation of these alter- <br />native treatments. <br /> <br />1 <br />~ <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />b <br /> <br />:1 <br />1 <br />.j <br />:-, <br />'~ <br /> <br />-1 <br />:~ <br /> <br />,~ <br />-1 <br />. <br />j <br />? <br />'0( <br />i <br />'., <br />J <br /> <br />';i <br />, <br />.1 <br />'S <br /> <br />Uinta Basin Unit UT (BR) <br /> <br />8 <br />':~ <br />j <br />~ <br />1 <br /> <br />Reclam~tion's preferred plan consists of lining about 55.5 <br />miles df canals and laterals and is estimated to reduce salt <br />loading by about 25,500 tons annually.
