<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />\-4 <br />Co" <br />-.,J <br />o <br /> <br />April 26. 1984 <br /> <br />Bureau of Reclamation <br />Lower Colorado Region <br /> <br />BRIEFING NOTES FOR MEETING APRIL 30 AND MAY 1 <br /> <br />1. <br /> <br />Las Vegas Wash <br /> <br />The Pittman Bypass Pipeline is scheduled for completion in <br /> <br />November 1984. Monitoring of the Pittman Verification Program would be <br /> <br />extended to September 1987 to concide with the proposed end of the <br /> <br />Ground-Water Flow Reduction Verification Program (GFRVP). <br /> <br />A Draft Environmental Assessment for the GFRVP is scheduled for <br /> <br />completion by May 1984. <br /> <br />The GFRVP would include two ground-water basins formed by a <br /> <br />peripheral slurry trench/wall. <br /> <br />The schedule for the GFRVP may be delayed by 6 months to be <br /> <br />compatible with planning by the Colorado River Commission of Nevada for <br /> <br />protection of a nearby pipeline crossing. <br /> <br />The use of brackish ground water to irrigate recreation fields <br /> <br />near the Wash may be studied following the GFRVP. This would help consume <br /> <br />and benefically use brackish water which would otherwise leach additional <br /> <br />salt as it passed through the Wash to the Colorado River. <br />
