This report was adopted at <br />the local level, certified by the Governor, and conditionally <br /> <br />approved by the EPA on October 9, 1980. The Governor's <br /> <br />certification recognizes a salinity control program for the <br /> <br />Green River Basin as a major water quality priority. The <br />report recommends continuation of the Big Sandy River Unit <br /> <br />Study, improvement of irrigation efficiencies, and further <br /> <br />study of a number of other management alternatives. Salinity <br />control features for the Big Sandy River are being evaluated <br />in conjunction with the ongoing cooperative Reclamation and <br />SCS salinity control planning for the Big Sandy River Unit. <br /> <br />Planning and investigation efforts of Reclamation are <br /> <br />centered around the lining of canals within the Eden <br />Irrigation District of the Big Sandy River Basin. The SCS is <br />developing an onfarm implementation plan to be utilized in <br /> <br />conjunction with the canal lining efforts of Reclamation. <br /> <br />The state strongly encourages and supports the current thrust <br />of Reclamation and SCS efforts in the Big Sandy River Unit. <br /> <br />The Statewide Water Quality Management Plan establishes <br /> <br />an institutional framework under which planning and <br /> <br />-37- <br /> <br />,i, <br />
