<br />Milestones for Aaricultural/Silvicultural NonDoint Source Manaaement
<br />
<br />CES pro~os8d Milestones
<br />
<br />By November 1, 1990, Cooperative Extension will prepare a water quality
<br />notebook containing publications on water quality standards, testing,
<br />agriculture impacts on water quality, domestic water quality and waste w~rer
<br />treatment. copies will be distributed to Cooperative Extension county oft ices
<br />and Soil Conservation Service area offices.
<br />
<br />By July l, 1990, Cooperative Extension will provide HACH water test kits to 6
<br />county offices for measuring nitrates, conductivity and pH in the field. The
<br />first eight counties'are Adams, Jefferson, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Park,
<br />sedgewick and Weld.
<br />
<br />By June 1, 1991, Training will be provided to cooperative Extension agents on
<br />HACH methods
<br />
<br />SCS Milestones:
<br />
<br />By March 1, 1991 and each year thereafter, the joint SCS/CE water quality plan
<br />will be reviewed and revised.
<br />
<br />By March 1 of each year, SCS, CE,and ASCS will present to the Ag/Silv
<br />Subcommittee their nominations for hydrologic unit area, demonstration area
<br />and ACP'water quality special project proposals, using the USDA Water Quality
<br />initiative guidelines for 1990 (until they are replaced). With concurrence
<br />from the subcommittee, the proprosals ,will be submitted to the appropriate
<br />national office. Notifications of selections will be made pri6r to the start
<br />of the federal fiscal year.
<br />
<br />The soil/pesticide interaction rating table for Colorado will be compared
<br />annually with the national SCS pesticide database, and revised as needed.
<br />
<br />By April, 1991, SCS will revise all aspects of the Field Office Technical
<br />Guide, including resource management systems and standards and specifications,
<br />to address water quality issues and concerns.
<br />
<br />By March 1 of each, year, all potential agricultural/silvicultural projects
<br />will be submitted to the Agriculture/Silviculture Subcommittee of the Colorado
<br />Nonpoint Source Task Force. Each proposal will be prepared using the Project
<br />Implementation Plan requirements. The subcommittee will prioritize the
<br />projects, recommend an appropriate funding program and redirect the proposals
<br />to the responsible agency for fine-tuning to meet the specific program's
<br />planning requirements. Potential funding sources include PL~566, ACP, RCWP,
<br />RC&D, 319/201(g)(1)(b), etc., as well as the USDA water quality initiatives,
<br />demonstration projects, hydrologic units area, and ACP water quality special
<br />projects.
<br />
<br />USFS Milestones:
<br />
<br />By October 1, 1990, write a draft Soil and Water Conservation Practices
<br />Handbook to consolidate those measures proven effective in controlling
<br />nonpoint source pollution from silvicultural and other actions. These
<br />practices will include Statewide standards and guidelines found in all Forest
<br />Land and Resource Management Plans.
