<br />JOOO .1.\:\11AI. REPOR T <br /> <br />(:=> <br />o <br />~ <br />H <br /> <br />the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Forum. at (801) 292-4663. 106 West 500 South. Suite <br />101. Bountiful, VT 84010. <br /> <br />The Council met in Henderson. Nevada on October 26 & 27. 2000 to receive reports from and <br />make inquiries of the federal agencies involved in salinity control and to approve the budget <br />recommendations contained in this report. The Council appreciates receiving prior to the actual <br />meeting a wriuen report detailing the federal agencies' accomplishments for the federal fiscal year <br />that ended on September 30th. The Council recognizes that this repon is nm required by any <br />federal mandate but believes it allows a more complete discussion by the Council members at the <br />m~ting. The Council recommends that future reports only discuss past year and cumulative <br />accomplishments and not attempt [0 discuss projected future accomplishrru:nts. The Council feels <br />that a more detailed discussion of USDA and BLM accomplishments (more similar to what was <br />provided by USBR) would enhance future discussions. <br /> <br />The Council also received public comment and left the record open for 30 days to allow for <br />written comment by the public. The Council directed Dave Trueman to prepare and distribute to <br />the members a summary of the meeting and any wriuen commenls received within sixty days <br />following the meeting. No written comments were received in the 3D-day period. <br /> <br />For the first time the Council is including the federal responses to the 1999 Advisory Council <br />Report as Auachment C. This report covers the period from January 1 through December 31. <br />2000. <br /> <br />COUNCIL CO~L'IEJIoTS AJIo"D RECOM~IEJIo"DA TIO:-;S <br /> <br />Oveniew <br /> <br />The implementation of the federal portion of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Program <br />as described in the /999 Review, H-'t:zter Quality Standards for Salinit)'.
