<br />Ii un. ~..; <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />855,000 tons of salt in order to maintain the numeric criteria at Hoover, Parker, and Imperial Dams <br />at the established levels. With the successful implementation of these seven projects and those from <br />the prior RFPs, 348,647 tons of salt will be removed by the additional salinity control measures <br />which will be in-place. This represents 40 percent of the target goal established by the Forum. <br />Included in the Board folder is a summary of the successful proposals along with their cost estimates <br />and estimated salt load reductions. <br /> <br />Wellton-Mohawk Transfer Legislation <br /> <br />Last month the Board discussed proposed legislation to transfer title of the Wellton-Mohawk <br />Irrigation District (WMID) Facilities from Reclamation to the District and the action the Board <br />would take to insure that Reclamation's obligations under Minute 242 of the Mexican Water Treaty <br />are kept after the transfer occurs. Included in the Board folder are copies of my letters to Senator Kyl <br />and Representative Doolittle requesting that they hold a joint hearing on this issue. I have also <br />included in the Board folder a copy of the Memorandum of Agreement between Reclamation and <br />the WMID which is to serve as a guide for the proposed transfer of facilities between the agencies. <br /> <br />Also last month I indicated that representatives from the Yuma area wished to address the <br />Board and discuss some of the initiatives that are being proposed in the area Included in the Board <br />folderis a letter to Mr. Robert Johnson from the Colorado River Water Users-Yuma Area proposing <br />the establishment of a Ywna Area Resource Management Board to oversee a coordinated and <br />cooperative solution to problems in the Yuma area. This letter outlines the principles and objectives <br />of the proposed Resource Management Board. During the Board meeting, representatives from the <br />Yuma area will discuss their proposal. Also, included in the Board folder is a letter, dated August <br />19, 1998, from the Yuma Mesa Irrigation and Drainilge District stating the reason that it did not sign <br />the August II, 1998, letter to Mr. Johnson regarding formation of the Yuma Area Resource <br />Management Board. <br /> <br />e.K'~-.-, -~.~ <br /> <br />___ .
