<br /> <br />Investigations are in progress for three of the four units which <br />are not authorized (Glenwood-Dotsero Springs, San Juan-Hammond, <br />and Price-San Rafael). Investigations are completed on Uinta <br />Basin, Stage One, and Reclamation is seeking its authorization. <br /> <br />, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />The 1987 implementation plan projected the need to remove 1.1 <br />million tons of salt annually from the river system by the year <br />2010. The 1990 implementation plan projects that 1.28 million <br />tons will need to be removed annually by 2010. The need for the <br />increased salt removal is caused by recent .low flows and the fact <br />that some salinity control units have not been completed as <br />expected due to budget constraints. Thus, the amount of salt <br />removed from the river system has not been as much aa was planned <br />in the 1987 review. Consequently, more salt must now be removed <br />ao that the numeric criteria are met in 2010, as is recognized by <br />the 1990 Review. If the 1990 plan is implemented, Reclamation' a <br />evaluations show that the numeric criteria will continue to be <br />met.. <br /> <br />In summary, we believe that the Proposed 1990 Review - Water <br />Quality S.tandards for Salinity, Colorado River System, is well <br />documented and demonstrates that the numeric criteria will <br />continue to be met. We look forward to continued close <br />cooperation with the Forum in implementing the Colorado River <br />Basin salinity control program. <br /> <br />26 <br />
