the Colorado River Salinity Control Program, the probability of the water quality numeric criteria
being exceeded before 2015 is greatly increased. Therefore, the Commission urges Congress and
Federal agencies to provide the necessary support for the salinity control program by designating
the Colorado River Basin as a national conservation priority area and allocating sufficient funding
to implement the plan recommended in this tri-annual review.
On behalf of the Upper Colorado River Commission, we thank you for granting the
Commission the opportunity to express its full support for the seven-state Colorado River Basin
Salinity Control Forum and the plan of implementation.
