Las Vegas Wash <br /> <br />A FONSI dated May 13, 1983, was prepared for the Pittman <br />Verification Program. The Pittman Bypass Pipeline is scheduled for <br />construction in 1984. <br /> <br />A Draft Environmental Assessment is scheduled for completion by <br /> <br />May 1984 to report on the following studies: <br /> <br />1. Vegetation vs Salinity <br />2. Advanced Waste Water Study (Nutrients/Toxins) <br />3. Wildlife Habitat Evaluation <br /> <br />We are presently collecting design data for a slurry wall system <br /> <br /> <br />that would reduce the flow of saline ground water into the Wash. <br /> <br />We are looking at the possibility of using brackish ground water <br /> <br />to irrigate recreation fields near the Wash. This would help consume and <br /> <br />benefically use the water which would otherwise leach additional salt as it <br /> <br /> <br />passed through the Wash to the Colorado River. <br />
