<br />N <br />CJ1 <br />~ <br />'-', <br /> <br />: <br /> <br />. - <br /> <br />Public Involvement and participation <br /> <br />A great awareness of salinity sources, impact, and <br /> <br />alternative methods of control is required if the implementa- <br />tion of the salinity control program is to progress. In <br />conjunction with the Forum, the seven Basin states continue <br /> <br />to work to increase the public's understanding of Colorado <br /> <br />River salinity. <br /> <br />This Annual Progress Report is a major <br /> <br />component of that effort. <br /> <br />The "1984 Review - Water Quality Standards for Salinity, <br /> <br />Colorado River System" is another component. This report was <br /> <br />mailed to interested agencies and groups in the respective <br /> <br />Basin states. In conjunction with the 1984 Review, the Forum <br /> <br />held public meetings in Rock Springs, Wyoming on June 25, <br /> <br />1984, and Las vegas, Nevada on June 27, 1984. <br /> <br />Public <br /> <br />hearings were also held by the individual states as part of <br /> <br />the adoption process. <br /> <br />All Forum meetings except Executive Sessions are open to <br /> <br />the public. The Forum's Executive Director also contributes <br /> <br />to the public's understanding through meetings, public <br /> <br />appearances, and speeches. <br /> <br />The Basin states assist the federal agencies in their <br /> <br />ongoing public involvement process. <br /> <br />Reclamation produces a <br /> <br />newsletter entitled "Salinity Update" which the Forum and the <br /> <br /> <br />states utilize to keep the public advised of their <br /> <br />activities. <br /> <br />-39- <br />
