ABSTRACT OF THE PLAN: <br />This Watershed Plan - Environmental Assessment is to improve agricultural water <br />management to the irrigated land receiving water from the Holbrook Canal system and <br />reduce the agricultural contribution of selenium, uranium, sediment, heavy metals, and <br />salts contamination. This will be accomplished through accelerated technical and <br />financial assistance for the installation of on -farm land treatment measures. The <br />measures are to improve irrigation water management through more effective water <br />use. This will also reduce contaminants in the groundwater, surface water, Cheraw <br />Lake, Horse Creek, and the Arkansas River, and protect the soil resource base from <br />excessive irrigation induced erosion. <br />Responsible Agency:_ <br />USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service <br />Title of Proposed Action: <br />Draft PL 566 Watershed Plan — Environmental Assessment <br />Holbrook Lake Ditch Watershed Project <br />Location: <br />Otero County, Colorado <br />ll <br />
