<br />000777 <br /> <br />1994 ANNUAL REPORT <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Public Law 93-320, the 'Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974," authorized <br />construction, operation, and maintenance of certain works in the Colorado River Basin to control <br />the salinity of water in the Colorado River available for use in the United States and Mexico. <br />Section 204 of the Act established the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Advisory Council <br />(Council). A Charter for the Council was originally approved by the secretaries of the Interior <br />and Agriculture and the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency on February 6, <br />1976, revised on June 22, 1976, and it has subsequently been renewed every two years. The <br />Council receives reports from the federal agencies involved in salinity control activities and <br />makes recommendations in the Annual Report to those agencies on appropriate means of <br />controlling the River's salinity. <br /> <br />The Council is comprised of up to three members, appointed by the respective Governor, <br />from each of the seven Colorado River Basin states. The current membership is shown on <br />. Attachment A. C. Laurence Linser, Ariwna, serves as Chairman of the Council and William <br />1. Miller, New Mexico, as Vice Chairman. Most of the members of the Advisory Council are <br />also members of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum (Forum), an organization <br />created by the seven Colorado River Basin states. The Council and Forum are related in their <br />activities but have different functions. <br /> <br />The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Salinity Coordinator serves as staff for the <br />Council. In addition, the permanent Work Group of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control <br />Forum continues to serve the Council and the Forum in the capacity of a technical review and <br />study team. The Council is also assisted by the Forum's Executive Director. <br /> <br />The Advisory Council met once during the period covered by this report; in <br />Albuquerque, New Mexico, on November 2, 1994. At that meeting, the Council received <br />reports from and made inquiries of the federal agencies involved in salinity control, and <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />COWRADO RiVER BASIN SALINITY CONTROL ADVISORY COUNCIL <br />
