<br />" <br /> <br />The role of this local coordinating committee is supportive of <br />the salinity program. A written understanding of each agency's <br />responsibility on this committee was developed. The committee <br />keeps all agencies and groups abreast of what is being <br />,~~ accomplished in the salinity program. The LSCC meets quarterly, and <br />~$~ one meeting a year is devoted to evaluating/assessing the <br />previous year's accomplishments and setting goals, budgets and <br />priorities for the coming three years concerning the onfarm program. <br /> <br />Q <br /><::> <br />~, Coordination with the Bureau of Reclamation <br /><:r.> <br /> <br />The USDA and USBR salinity control programs both include <br />improvement of small laterals that impact on-farm improvements. <br />Therefore, close coordination between the two agencies is <br />required. Such coordination occurs on two fronts. The District <br />Conservationist and the Project Manager correlate work elements <br />and program schedules. Additionally, engineers from both <br />agencies review application$ for off-farm USDA assistance to prevent <br />duplication of design effort and review onfarm requirements <br />associated with the USBR's off-farm work. This assures operational <br />compatibility of the completed improvements. <br />Both agencies agree that the workload is more than either can handle. <br />Therefore, it does not matter which agency gets the work done. The <br />water users are satisfied with the progress of both agencies. <br /> <br />.,"-~'" <br />:*'~:;~:. <br />..~" <br /> <br />Page 6 <br />
