<br />Arizona <br /> <br />The Northern Arizona Council of Governments <br /> <br />N <br />.&:;10 <br />~ <br />~ <br /> <br />and District IV Council of Governments, have completed plans <br /> <br /> <br />for the area which drains to the Colorado River north of <br /> <br />Imperial Dam, On-farm management activities offer the best <br /> <br /> <br />salinity control measures. The statewide 208 plan has been <br /> <br />certified by the Governor and has received conditional <br /> <br />approval from EPA. The plan commits the state to support <br /> <br /> <br />the Salinity Control Forum and to implement the Forum's <br /> <br /> <br />decision in the control of salinity sources. <br /> <br />California <br /> <br />One element of the statewide 208 planning <br /> <br />is directed exclusively at Colorado River salinity. Additional <br />studies are required to develop BMF for salinity control, The <br />State Water Resources Control Board conditionally certified <br />the basin plan amendment for this issue on August 16, 1979. <br /> <br />Colorado <br /> <br />The Northwest Colorado Area plan directs its <br /> <br />salinity control effort toward local control of non-point <br /> <br />sources: i,e., municipal and urban runoff. The plan was <br /> <br />conditionally certified to EPA June 25, 1979. The redrafted <br />Colorado West 208 plan directed its salinity control efforts <br />toward incorporating appropriate, on-going salinity control <br />activities in the Grand Valley area. As discussed earlier, <br />$1.7 million has been appropriated through the SCS for cost- <br /> <br />share of on-farm improvements in Grand Valley. The water <br /> <br /> <br />quality data base for the remainder of the planning area is <br /> <br /> <br />not yet sufficient to assess potential salinity problems. <br /> <br /> <br />The plan is expected to be submitted to the State for <br /> <br />20 <br />
