<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />2. La Verkin Springs Unit <br /> <br />..... <br />(,)1 <br />(>:) <br />CJ Preliminary Findings Report was submitted 8 February 84 recommending <br />that the project not proceed into the next phase of study. Estimates show <br />only 4.1 mg/L reduction at Imperial for least expensive alternative. <br />Estimated cost for least expensive alternative $2 million per mg/L <br /> <br />reduction at Imperial Dam. Forum is presently reviewing the report for <br /> <br /> <br />input into Reclamation's decision on continuing the project. Decision to <br /> <br />be made by Reclamation after 9 March 84. <br /> <br />3. Lower Virgin Unit <br /> <br />This is an investigation of a potential salinity control and water <br /> <br />supply project that would encompass the Lower Virgin River 8asin, extending <br />from 14 miles above Littlefield Springs in Arizona to the high waters of <br />Lake Mead, Nevada. This investigation was scheduled to be reinitiated in <br />October, 1983, but did not start until January 84 as part of the Colorado <br />River Water Quality Improvement Program. Large amounts of salts from <br /> <br />Saline Springs and agricultural waste water enters the Lower Virgin River. <br /> <br />Removal of this saline underflow through a series of well fields would <br />reduce the salinity of the Virgin River and thereby also reduce salinity of <br /> <br />the Colorado river Basin. The removal of the saline underflow will result <br /> <br />in a new water supply which can be efficiently used to supply cooling water <br /> <br /> <br />for power plants and other industrial users. The State of Nevada and the <br /> <br />Nevada Power Company are very interested in the development of a firm water <br /> <br />supply from the Virgin River for industrial cooling.
