UPPER COLORADO RIVER COMMISSION MEETINGS: The Upper Colorado River <br />Commission Engineering Committee met on October 20 in Denver and the Legal Committee in Salt Lake <br />City on October 30 to further their discussions of compact compliance issues. (Randy Seaholm) <br />GLEN CANYON ADAPTIVE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM & THE COLORADO <br />RIVER BASIN SCIENCE AND RESOURCE MANAGEMENT SYMPOSIUM: The Glen <br />Canyon Adaptive Management Program Technical Workgroup (TWG) met on October 15-16, 2008 in <br />Phoenix, AZ. The agenda for the TWG meeting and presentations made at the meeting can be found on <br />the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program website at: <br />http://www.usbr.gov/uc/rm/amp/index.html <br />We also want to call your attention to the upcoming Colorado River Basin Science and Resource <br />Management Symposium that will be held on November 18-20, 2008 in Scottsdale, Arizona. The copy of <br />the Science Symposium Program is attached for your information. This will be the first science <br />symposium that attempts to present the combined information generated through the Upper Colorado <br />River Recovery Program, San Juan Recovery Program, the Lower Colorado River Multi-species <br />Conservation Program as well as the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program. (Randy <br />Seaholm) <br />COLORADO RIVER BASIN SALINITY CONTROL PROGRAM (CRBSCP): The CRBSC <br />Forum and Advisory Council held their fa112008 meetings on Oct. 29-30 in San Diego. Final adoption of <br />the 2008 Triennial Review was given and it will be forwarded to the Governors and Water Quality <br />Control agencies of each of the Seven Basin States for further action. In Colorado the Water Quality <br />Control Commission will adopt the 2008 Review and underlying regulations at its December 2008 <br />hearing. The 2008 Review report may be viewed and downloaded at the Forum's website: <br />www.ColoradoRiverSalinity.org. Funding recommendations for the Federal FY2010 budget, similar to <br />last year's, were adopted and will be presented in the Advisory Council's 2008 Report to be released at <br />the end of this December. Reclamation noted the difficulty of increasing salinity funding under the "flat <br />funding" environment it has experienced for the last decade and the Forum determined to seek additional <br />legislative support for Reclamation through groups such as the Western Governors Association. <br />A draft report to Congress describing implementation of the new Basin States Program authorized in the <br />new 2008 Farm Bill has been prepared by Reclamation with input from the Advisory Council and will <br />soon be finalized for submittal through the Sec. of Interior. This new aspect of the Salinity Control <br />Program will allow more flexibility in how the States to meet their cost-share obligations on the program <br />using the Upper and Lower Colorado River Basin Development Funds. After Congress has had the report <br />for 30 days the Basin States Program will be delivered in Colorado by the Colorado State Conservation <br />Board within the Colorado Dept. of Agriculture ("CDA"). An innovative new pilot incentive program in <br />the Plateau Creek area of Colorado has been approved for implementation by USDA-NRCS and CDA. <br />USBR has developed a plan for additional hydrogeology studies by the USGS in the Paradox area where <br />an existing brine disposal project located along the Dolores River near Bedrock is undergoing review of <br />potential modifications and enhancements. A concerted effort to identify funds for those studies is <br />underway. Reclamation reported on a new effort, funded by the Lower Basin States, to restart the Yuma <br />Desalter Plant at 1/3 capacity on an interim one year pilot study basis. This effort will need to be <br />monitored by the Upper Basin States. We also heard from the US Section of the IBWC on issues with <br />'~~~ 18 ,w <br />~. <br />~~ <br />
