<br />supported by local communities are in the proj- <br />ect plan for later action. <br /> <br />Other project applications include similar <br />sponsors in multi-county areas in northwest <br />Colorado, the Colorado River Valley, the San 1 <br />Juan Basin and the San Luis Valley. Application <br />interest is also strong in multi-county areas in <br />southeast and northeast Colorado. 38 counties <br />are included in these applications. Unfortunate- <br />ly no new RC&D project planning starts are <br />included in the 1971 Budget Bureau plans. Over <br />200 city and county governments in Colorado are, <br />project sponsors along with soil conservation <br />districts on these projects. <br /> <br />Another activity that we are involved in <br />is that we have the departmental leadership <br />responsibility for outdoor recreation develop- <br />ment on private land. We cooperate with many <br />other agencies to provide needed assistance for <br />development of recreational activities with <br />soil conservation district operators, towns and <br />counties. <br /> <br />Now getting near the end of the story, <br />there are some other facilitating operations <br />that are involved with other federal and state <br />agencies as special parts of authorized programs <br />or operations. For example, the Agricultural <br />Conservation Program of ASCS. Sollie 6,000 ACP <br />referrals are serviced each year by SCS which <br />involve about $3 million or $3~ million cost- <br />shares to farm and ranch operators. <br /> <br />Technical assistance through interagency <br />agreements with the Farmers Home Administration <br />provide assistance to that agency in resource <br />inventories for farm, ranch and association <br />loans. <br /> <br />I <br /> <br />A special agreement between SCS and the <br />U. S. Forest Service provides for SCS technical <br />assistance to organizations constructing water <br />developments within national forests. <br />
