<br /> <br />UTAH <br /> <br />ARIZONA <br /> <br />Dry Gulch Area Watershed <br /> <br />We received authorization to plan four small irrigation <br />improvement watersheds in the vicinity of Roosevelt, Utah. <br />They are within the UintahBasin Salinity Study Area. <br />Long-term agreements (LTA's) are being developed with the <br />landowners to cover all planned on-farm improvements. <br />These LTA's will include practices for enhancement of <br />wildlife habitat as mitigation measures for anticipated <br />adverse impacts. A draft work plan for the Martin Lateral <br />is scheduled to be developed by May 1979. <br /> <br />WATERSHED OPERATIONS <br /> <br />Buckhorn-Mesa Watershed <br /> <br />Progress has been made in the construction of the Spook Hill <br />Floodwater Retarding Structure. <br /> <br />Williams-Chandler Watershed <br /> <br />No change since last report. <br /> <br />Apache Junction-Gilbert Watershed <br /> <br />No change since last report. <br /> <br />RWCD (Roosevelt Water Conservation District Floodway) <br /> <br />The thirty-day review period for the final EIS was completed <br />September 20, 1978. The EPA has informed us that the final <br />EIS adequately assesses the environmental impact of the <br />proposed action and that EPA has no objection to proceeding <br />with the proposed action. <br /> <br />Further information has been provided to our Washington office <br />to help clarify impact of this project on prime farmland and <br />a downstream road crossing. <br /> <br />A cooperative agreement was agreed upon with Arizona State <br />University to obtain testing of spoil disposal areas for <br />the purpose of developing an archeological mitigation plan. <br />The agreement was signed in September 1978. <br /> <br />Harquahala Valley Watershed <br /> <br />Geology investigations were completed on the new alignment <br />of Saddleback Diversion.
