<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />WATER QUALITY <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin Salinity Control <br /> <br />The Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Fonun and Advisory Council will hold its next <br />meeting in Tucson, Arizona, on October 22, 1997. Included in the Board folder are copies of the <br />agendas for the Fonun as well as the Advisory Council meetings. I have also included a copy of the <br />report entitled Federal Accomplishments Reportfor Fiscal Year 1997, which will be presented to <br />the Advisory Council by the various federal agencies detailing the salt load reduction measures they <br />implemented during FY 97. Of interest to the Board members would be Tables 3, 4, and 5 at the end <br />of the report. In aggregate, Reclamation, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the BLM have <br />implemented, to date, salt load reduction measures to prevent approximately 635,000 tons of salt <br />from entering the river system. It is the goal of the Fonun to have measures in-place by 2015, to <br />prevent approximately 1,476,000 tons of salt from entering the river system. To attain this goal, <br />approximately 44,000 tons of new salinity control measures need to be added each year through <br />2015. <br /> <br />The fina1 item included in the Board folder is my memorandum to the Board members, dated <br />October 9th, which transmitted a copy of the Advisory Council's 1996 Annual Report. Following <br />the presentation by the federal agencies concerning their 1997 accomplishments, the Advisory <br />Council will discuss revisions to be made for the 1997 Annual Report. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />..4../~~*"b.f-r-' <br /> <br />--- uerald R.
