<br />Annual Report of Accomplishments <br /> <br />A report of accomplishments will he prepared annually summarizing <br />accomplishments for the preceding year. The SCS has leadership <br />responsibility for preparing the report. Information and data from <br />various local, state, and federal agencies involved in this effort will <br />be incorporated into a single report. The report will describe the <br />amount of salinity control and conservation treatment installed, federal <br />and local cost associated with installing treatment, effects of the <br />treatment, impacts on wetland and terrestrial wildlife habitat, and <br />progress of voluntary wildlife habitat replacement. A copy of the <br />report will be provided to all local, state, and federal agencies <br />involved in this effort. <br /> <br />" <br /> <br />~~.;:;. <br /> <br />#l <br />.~ <br /> <br />"...;.,;l <br /> <br />Nondiscrimination <br /> <br />The salinity control program will be carried out in compliance with all <br />requirements respecting nondiscrimination as contained in the Civil <br />Rights Act of 1964, as amended, and the regulations of the Secretary of <br />Agriculture (7 CFR 15.1-15.12), which provides that nO person in the <br />United States shall, on the grounds of race, color, national origin, <br />sex, religion, age, physical or mental handicap, be excluded from <br />participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected <br />to discrimination under any activity receiving federal financial <br />assistance. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />" <br />," <br />.,~ <br />toW <br /> <br />r~ <br />.1:-1 <br />;:L; <br /> <br />Environmental Considerations <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />Impacts caused by implementation of individual onfarm water management <br />and land treatment measures are generally minor. However, when these <br />measures are implemented throughout the entire Big Sandy River Unit, the <br />cumulative impacts become potentially more significant. These impacts <br />will be addressed and quantified in this section. Primary impacts occur <br />on wetlands that have developed since irrigation was introduced in the <br />area and on Bone Draw, which is an irrigation-induced perennial stream. <br /> <br />The degree of impact to wetlands will depend On the amount of acres that <br />are voluntarily placed in the salinity control program and where they <br />are located. In addition, net wetland impacts depend on the willingness <br />of participating landowners to voluntarily replace wildlife habitat and <br />the development of fish and wildlife habitat potentials by local <br />governments and nongovernmental entities. <br /> <br />t-_~~ <br /> <br />The total amount of fish and wildlife habitat values replaced will <br />ultimately depend on: <br /> <br />l) The amount of wildlife habitats (wetland and upland) provided by <br />the installation of four to seven irrigation-regulating <br />reservoirs (150-300 total surface acres), stockwater ponds, <br />pumping station ponds, livestock exclusions, four to six <br /> <br />'""Cc <br /> <br />-..,-. <br /> <br />" <br />>4? <br /> <br />4-14 <br /> <br />l:' /1 ~ (' ,., <br />,'" L (;') <br /> <br />'. <br /> <br />~::r1 <br />
