For example, EPA has commented on potential <br /> <br />salinity impacts in reviewing environmental impact statements <br /> <br />for grazing and land management, recreational developments, <br /> <br />mining, timber harvesting, and water development projects. <br />EPA continues to work with Reclamation on the <br /> <br />underground injection control requirements for the Paradox <br />Valley and Dirty Devil River salinity control units. <br /> <br />State Salinity Control Activities <br />principal components of the plan of implementation for <br /> <br />salinity control are the Basin states' activities associated <br /> <br />with the control of total dissolved solids through the NPDES <br /> <br />Permit program and the water quality management plans. All <br /> <br />states have adopted the 1977 Forum policy for Implementation <br /> <br /> <br />of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Standards through the <br /> <br />NPDES Permit Program. A copy of the policy can be found in <br /> <br />the 1978 Revision of the Water Quality Standards for <br /> <br />Salinity. In October 1982, the Basin states adopted the <br />"Intercepted Groundwater policy for Implementation of the <br />Colorado River Salinity Standards Through the NPDES Permit <br /> <br />program." A copy of that policy can be found in the 1984 <br /> <br />Review. During the period of this report, the status of <br /> <br />implementation of the NPDES permits and the water quality <br /> <br />management plans in each of the states was as follows: <br /> <br />-23- <br />
