<br />WYOMING: During April. May and June. much Of Wyoming experienced severe <br />flooding resultil'lg from abnormally high snowmelt and heavy spring <br />rains. Approximately 15 damage survey reports were processed <br />resulting in the completion of two exigency projects amounting to <br />approximately $20,000. Two non-exigency EWP applications have been <br />submitted for funding. The construction costs of these two proposals <br />is nearly $125,000. . <br /> <br />ARIZONA: <br /> <br />SALINITY CONTROL <br /> <br />Wellton Mohawk On-Farm Irrigation Improvement Program <br /> <br />A total of 390 applications have been received to date covering <br />'48,482 acres. Contracts have been developed on 343 of these <br />applications on 44,456 acres. Eight-four contracts were developed <br />in FY-84 on 8,286 acres at a federal cost of $3,193,372. Total <br />federal cost to date is $14.543.200. One-hundred and thirty-three <br />contracts on 19,485 acres have expired and 55 more on 6.979 acres <br />will expire by the end of 1984. <br /> <br />Planning is underway on 47 contracts on an additional 6.040 acres. <br /> <br />In 1984. 110.000 feet of concrete ditch lining was installed. The <br />accumulative total for ditch lining is now 1.088.554 feet. A special <br />"200 miles of ditch" ceremony was held this sunmer. Land leveling <br />was done on 4.316 acres. bringing that total to date to 36.774 acres <br />of land leveled by laser. An additional 600 structures were installed. <br />Structures installed under WMP contract now total 9.170. <br /> <br />The goal of the project. reduction in deep percolation. is being <br />achieved. with 30.000 acre-feet of water being saved in 1984. <br /> <br />COLORADO: Grand Valley <br /> <br />WYOM ING: <br /> <br />During FY-84., we have worked with over 500 landowners in the Valley, <br />They installed over $1.5 million worth of irrigation improvements. <br />The major practices include pipelines. ditch lining and land leveling. <br />An automated system to monitor irrigation water application was <br />installed on 21 fields. <br /> <br />Big Sandy Unit <br /> <br />Strong local and state interest has been exhibited during the past <br />few months for the USDA to reassess an 'on-farm' program that would <br />primarily assist the landowners install low pressure sprinkler <br />irrigation systems. We are currently making an economic evaluation <br />of low pressure sprinkler systems to determine their cost effective- <br />ness. This information. when completed. will be provided to the <br />state to assist them in making a decision on the type of salinity <br />program they wish to support, <br /> <br />1'y12 <br />
