<br />000271 <br /> <br />1998 ANNUAL REPORT <br /> <br />In its 1997 Advisory Council Report, the Council asked if there are examples ofEQIP funds being <br /> <br /> <br />used to enhance federal rangelands in the Colorado River drainage. The Council suggests that BLM <br /> <br />research this issue, look for opportunities where EQIP funds can be used by its lessees for salinity <br /> <br />control efforts on lands managed by BLM, and report its findings to the Council. <br /> <br />In 1997 the Council expressed its concern about the uncertainty caused by BLM's cost-effectiveness <br /> <br /> <br />protocols when comparing BLM efforts with USDA and USBR efforts. The Council urges that <br /> <br /> <br />BLM assure that it is calculating salinity cost effectiveness in a manner consistent with the other <br /> <br /> <br />federal agencies, Thus the Council again recommends coordinating meetings be held, with USBR <br /> <br /> <br />serving as coordinator. The Council is most anxious that such coordinating meetings be convened <br /> <br /> <br />and that BLM personnel actively participate, <br /> <br />The Council recognizes that the current accounting of expenditures by BLM is by program, not by <br />results, Nonetheless, in an effort to properly account for salinity control activities and the cost <br />effectiveness thereof, the Council requests a renewed effort to account for the expenditure of the <br />$800,000 that has been specifically identified in the BLM budget for salinity control activities and <br />documentation of what the expenditure of these funds has accomplished. The Council requests that <br />in a broader sense BLM commence its reporting of funds spent in saline watersheds and the salinity <br />reductions that have been accomplished by these efforts. The Council is interested to know if, under <br />the Government Results and Performance Act, BLM has identified to the Congress salinity control <br />efforts as a stated measurable goal. If it has, the Council requests the reports, If it has not, the <br />Council asks that salinity control be added, <br /> <br />COLORADO RIVER BASIN SA LlNITl' CONTROL ADVISOR Y COUNCIL <br /> <br />8 <br />
