<br />has obligated $13.7 million for the installation of salinity <br /> <br />reduction practices. <br /> <br />Major practices include the <br /> <br />o <br />C..1 <br />I-" <br />en <br /> <br />installation of new or improved <br /> <br />sprinkler and surface <br /> <br />irrigation systems. Irrigation water management practices <br /> <br />applied to date totals 40,789 acres with 388 miles of <br /> <br />pipelines installed. As a result, SCS estimates the annual <br /> <br /> <br />reduction in seepage and deep percolation to be 31,877 acre- <br /> <br />feet for an annual salt load reduction of 29,526 tons. A <br /> <br />recent signup period for participation in the program <br />resulted in applications requiring approximately $9 million <br /> <br />in federal cost share funds. In FY 1989, funding will be <br />limited to less than $2.0 million. The program has been very <br />successful in achieving treatment for salinity control <br /> <br />through group participation. <br />Q.!.~.!!~~~~'::~~.!:2~E.~_~J2E...!..!!9.2_.!!.!!..!..!: Q~ c 1 ~~~.!:..!.~ n) - A <br />concluding report was issued in February 1986. However, <br /> <br />Reclamation has been approached by private entities to study <br />the feasibility of using waste power plant steam for <br />desalinization of Glenwood Springs water. Any potential <br />study of this concept would be cost shared between <br /> <br />Reclamation and the project developer. <br /> <br />Price-San Rafael Rivers Unit (Reclamation-Department of <br />Agriculture) - Reclamation and SCS entered into a formal <br />agreement to prepare a joint plan of implementation and <br /> <br />Environmental Impact Statement.
