PRIORITY AREAS AND PARTICIPATION <br /> <br />The Grand Valley Unit is separated into 13 priority areas. These <br />areas correspond to the 13 canal systems as, identified by the <br />USBR hydro-salinity model. Each is recognized as having a <br />differing salinity reduction potential per ~nit of improvement. <br />will be established by multiplying the applicable points by the <br />land to be treated. <br /> <br />Priority <br />acres of <br /> <br />CANAL-WATER SOURCE PRIORITY <br />stub Ditch <br />Price Ditch <br />Grand Valley Canal <br />East End-Gov't Highline <br />West End-Gov't Highline <br />Stage 1-Gov't Highline <br />Kiefer Extension <br /> <br />POINTS CANAL-WATER SOURCE PRIORITY POINTS <br />7 Grand Valley Highline 2 <br />7 Middle-Gov't Highline 2 <br />5 Orchard Mesa No. 1 2 <br />5 Orchard Mesa No.2 2 <br />4 Grand Valley Mainline 2 <br />3 Independent Ranchman's 1 <br />3 <br /> <br />To further prioritize within these areas, the following rating <br />factors are used. <br /> <br />1.

MONITORING AND EVALUATION CM&El <br /> <br />1 Point <br /> <br />2 Points <br /> <br />Obiectives <br />Five major objectives of Monitoring and Evaluation are: <br /> <br />(1) To quantify through a data gathering and evaluating activity <br />the salt load reduction attributable to improved irrigation water <br />management. <br /> <br />(2) To provide farmers with improved technical assistance for <br />achieving irrigation water management. <br /> <br />(3) To evaluate Changes in wetland and wildlife habitat <br />resulting from improved irrigation systems and irrigation water <br />management. <br /> <br />(4) To determine local economic impacts of this salinity control <br />project. <br /> <br />(5) To determine changes that should be made in the project to <br />achieve salinity control objectives. <br /> <br />Page 4 <br />
