<br />accrue if the Towaoc Canal is combined with canals of the <br /> <br />salinity control unit. <br /> <br />f~2_Y~r~~_lr~1~at12Q_Ql~!~lE!_QQ!! - Reclamation and <br /> <br />~ USDA have worked together to formulate a joint plan of study <br />~ <br />en which will be conducted in three phases. Additional discus- <br />{\) <br />sions on the proposed plan of study with local entities are <br /> <br />planned for late 19H3. Reclamation and USDA funding may <br /> <br />delay the start of the study until 1985. <br /> <br />~~ek~~_Q2!!!~_QQ1! - i"joni toring is continuing. <br /> <br />(~ell <br /> <br />cleaning and plugging still appears successful. <br /> <br />A salt concentration reduction is expected to average <br /> <br />1.6 mg/l at Imperial Dam as a result the plugging of the <br /> <br />three wells in 1981. <br /> <br />The planning report to document the <br /> <br />verification program is scheduled to be completed by June <br /> <br />1985. <br /> <br />h~Y~~~lQ_~!:lQ~~_QQ1! - Because of renewed State and <br />local interest, Reclamation reini tiated salinity studies in <br /> <br />FY 1983 to evaluclte a new concept for diverting the saline <br />springs to clay-lined evaporation ponds. Clay lining was not <br /> <br />seriously considered in preVious studies by ReClamation <br /> <br />because of concerns for ground water intrusion. liashington <br /> <br />County \~ater Conservancy District, a local entity, has <br /> <br />suggested that Clay lining would be acceptable for saline <br /> <br />water disposal. <br /> <br />Detailed studies are continuing to specifically address <br /> <br />downstream Virgin River effects on salt removal estimates and <br /> <br />-17- <br />
