<br />,~.. <br />.,.-- <br /> <br />ENV IRONMENTAl ASSESSMENT <br /> <br />ON-fARM IMPACTS <br /> <br />An environmental assessment for the on-farm salinity control program in <br />the Grand Valley WaS prepared by the SCS in MaY 1976. The assessment <br />reflects overall environmental impacts from implementation of recom- <br />mended improvements in farm irrigation systems but does not reflect <br />impacts for specific locations. The location of specific improvements <br />will not be known until each farmer decides on specific elements for the <br />conservati'on plan on hI; land. The Soil Conservation Service will <br />encourage establishment or improvement of upland wildlife habitat during <br />planning with individual landowners; however, the landowner's partici- <br />pation in any practice to improve wildlife habitat is voluntary. <br /> <br />Cost sharing assistance for wildlife practices may be available through <br />the Agricultural Conservation Program depending upon local priorities of <br />the County ASCS Committee. Therefore, consideration will be given to <br />local impacts when the conservation plan is developed for each farm and <br />ranch. <br /> <br />JOINT BR-SCS ASSESSMENT FOR GRAND VAllEY <br /> <br />A joint BR-SCS environmental assessment for the Grand Valley program has <br />been prepared to document impacts of the structural and nonstructural <br />measures on water quality of the Colorado River and on biota and esthetic <br />values in the Grand Valley. <br /> <br />JOINT BR-SCS PROGRAM ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT ON COLORADO RIVER <br />WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM <br /> <br />An environmental statement prepared by the Bureau of Reclamation, <br />Department of the Interior, and Soil Conservation Service, USDA, pre- <br />sents cumulative impacts of the Colorado River Basin Sal inity Control <br />program and includes information on impacts of the program in the Grand <br />Va 11 ey Un i t. <br /> <br />1666 <br /> <br />29 <br />
