Work performed included <br />operation of gages and samplers, water and soil sampling, photo trend plots, data entry and <br />interpretation, and report preparation, The Cedar City District continued its operation and <br />maintenance of 51 climate stations. <br /> <br />In the following Resource Areas, new or amended Resource Management Plans are underway <br />which address salinity control on the public lands: Dixie, Escalante, Kanab, Henry Mountain, <br />and the Grand, <br /> <br />Total Salinity Dollars Spent = $180,000 <br />, <br /> <br />Wyoming <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Within the Muddy Creek watershed, existing water quality monitoring stations and activities <br />were continued, An effort was initiated to expand that system by cooperatively purchasing, <br />with the Little Snake River Conservation District additional electronic monitoring equipment. <br />Elsewhere in southwest Wyoming, work began this fiscal year on the plugging of a flowing <br />saline well in the Lombard Allotment. <br /> <br />In the Red Creek drainage, a stream gaging/water quality station was operated to continue <br />monitoring water quality improvements resulting from implementation actions in the Red <br />Creek Management Plan, In 1994, these actions included a combination of re-contouring, <br />water bar construction, and seeding treatments, to stop gullying and sediment transport from <br />eight miles of eroding access and seismic roads. Willow root stock plantings were also <br />conducted in Red Creek and Antelope Wash to stabilize eroding stream-banks, <br /> <br />A cooperative Phase I watershed ranking report was completed, High priority watersheds for <br />reconnaissance, comprehensive planning and implementation were identified, A Phase II <br />watershelt"reconnaissance was conducted on Slate Creek Watershed, to document its salinity <br />contributions and treatment opportunities in preparation for implementation planning, <br /> <br />Total Salinity Dollars Spent = $ 150,000 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />22 <br />
