At <br />these workshops, USDA personnel <br />received training on their responsibilities <br />for program implementation. In addi- <br />tion, issues and concerns were voiced by <br />members of the local salinity coordinat. <br />ing committee. <br /> <br />Participants included representation <br />from ASCS, ASC County Committees, <br />SCS, Extension Service, Bureau of <br />Reclamation, Fish and Wildlife Service, <br />the local Soil Conservation District, and <br />others. <br /> <br />Lower Gunnison Basin <br /> <br />Under the cooperative agreement <br />with the Uncompahgre VaHey Water <br />Users Association, Reclamation has <br />obtained an inventory of the water <br />system needs for Reclamation's Winter <br />Water portion of the project. One of <br />three water suppliers is expected to be <br />ready for construction in fiscal year <br />1990. The other two suppliers will <br />probably have to complete their designs <br />in fiscal year 1990 because of a shortage <br />of funds in fiscal year 1989. <br /> <br />The Appropriations bill for energy <br />and water development (including <br />Reclamation) for fiscal year 1990 <br />includes $2.5 miliion for initiating <br />construction activities in the Winter <br />Water portion of the Lower Gunnison <br />Basin Unit. <br /> <br />In the North Fork area, no viable <br />plan has been found and a concluding <br />report is being prepared. <br /> <br />WYOMING <br /> <br /> <br />UTAH <br /> <br />NEVADA <br /> <br />P,;ceS."

Reclamation is also evalu- <br />ating the effectiveness of preflooding to <br />prevent the mixing of the two brines. <br />
