This is a revolving fund <br />which provides low interest loans to farmers for soil and <br /> <br />water conservation practices. <br /> <br />In addition to direct assistance to farmers, the <br />Department is supporting research to improve irrigation <br /> <br />efficiencies. The Department provides funding to Utah State <br /> <br />University to determine methods of improving irrigation to <br /> <br />reduce deep percolation and tailwater runoff. <br /> <br />A pilot <br /> <br />project is being conducted in the Uinta Basin to measure soil <br /> <br />moisture utilizing the neutron probe to determine irrigation <br /> <br />schedules. This program emphasizes management techniques as <br /> <br />opposed to structural control measures. New research is <br /> <br />improving application efficiency through surge-flow methods <br />and appropriately sizing pumps and equipment for maximum <br /> <br />cost-effectiveness. <br /> <br />Wyoming <br />NPDES Permits - The Wyoming Department of Environmental <br /> <br />Quality, Water Quality Division administers the NPDES <br /> <br />Program. <br /> <br />The Forum "policy for Implementation of the <br /> <br />Colorado River Salinity Standards through the NPDES Permit <br /> <br />: <br /> <br />Program" is utilized to evaluate industrial and municipal <br /> <br />dischargers. <br /> <br />There are only two significant industrial <br /> <br />sources of salinity in the Green River Basin.
