<br />ReclamatIOn and SCS contInue to
<br />coordinate planning efforts Preliminary
<br />findings Indicate canal lining may not be
<br />cost-effectrve but the livestock winter
<br />watering pipeline Will be COSt-effective. SCS
<br />planning efforts are locuslng on onlarm
<br />systems Improvements, some canal and/or
<br />lateral control structures, and a heavy
<br />emphasiS on prOViding onfarm water
<br />management assistance. The USDA onfarm
<br />report was tentatively scheduled lor
<br />completion In October 1983 while

<br />Because 01 renewed State and local
<br />Interest, Reclamation relnltlated salinity
<br />studies In FY 1983 to evaluate a new concept
<br />lor dlvertmg the saline spnngs to Clay--lined
<br />evaporation IX)nds Clay lining was not
<br />conSidered in previOUS studies by
<br />ReclamatIOn because 01 stnngent EPA and
<br />State groundwater regulations Washington
<br />County Water Conservancy Olstnct, a local
<br />entity. IS conlident that clay lining would be
<br />acceptable for saline water smce It IS used lor
