<br />(""'3:6 <br />ut.,,1 <br /> <br />Even though these difficulties and program management problems existed, the <br />ongoing Grand Valley and Unita Basin salinity projects were able to achieve <br />reasonable results. Through 1986, the average annual salt load reductions <br />resulting from these projects were 33,600 tons in the Grand Valley and 22,700 <br />tons in the Unita Basin. <br /> <br />These individual proJects are discussed in detail in the previous 1986 and <br />1987 Joint Evaluation (Reports) of Salinity Control Programs in the Colorado <br />River Basin. The annual evaluation reports are prepared by the USBR Colorado <br />River Water Quality Office and the USDA Salinity Control Coordinating <br />Committee. <br /> <br />Over 1 million tons of salt load reductions are needed each year until the <br />year 2010 to achieve and maintain adopted water quality standards. <br />Coordinated program evaluations by USBR and USDA indicate that a mix of USDA <br />and USBR salinity control projects are needed to achieve this reduction. <br />Figure 1 identifies the mi~ of USDA and USBR salinity control projects in the <br />Colorado River Basin. <br /> <br />3 <br />
