ABSTRACT OF THE PLAN:

This Watershed Plan-Environmental Assessment is to improve
the surface and groundwater quality by reducing the
agricultural contribution of heavy metals, salts, sediment,
and nitrate contamination. This will be accomplished
through accelerated technical and financial assistance for
the installation of on-farm land treatment measures. The
measures are to reduce contaminants in the groundwater,
surface water, and the Arkansas River to an acceptable level
and protect the soil resource base from excessive irrigation
induced erosion.
