Like the Grand Valley Unit, progress <br /> <br /> <br />on the implementation of on farm measures in this area in Utah <br /> <br />has b,en satisfying. However, we are concerned with the <br /> <br /> <br />level of progress made on monitoring and evaluation. The <br /> <br /> <br />Council would like to see a greater effort placed on data <br /> <br /> <br />collection so that the results of the onfarm program can be <br /> <br /> <br />properly ,measured and evaluated. <br /> <br />Lower Gunnison Basin. <br />- . <br /> <br />This large agricultural area <br /> <br />should be subdivided into smaller treatmen't areas based on <br /> <br />the salt load reduction potential. priority implementation <br />of the onfarm program should be based on those areas with the <br /> <br />greatest salt contribution and cost effectiveness. <br /> <br />McElmo Creek Unit. <br />-- <br /> <br />Reclamation's advance planning <br /> <br />.ctivities are proceeding on this unit. <br /> <br />In order for <br /> <br />Reclamati~n to assure proper sizing and location of farm <br /> <br />turnouts, USDA should promptly initiate onfarm planning to <br /> <br />identify those needs for Reclamation. <br />Price-San Rafael Rivers Unit. preliminary evaluation of <br /> <br />coordinated but individual salinity programs by USDA and <br /> <br />Reclamation have shown little promise. However, a single, <br /> <br />jointly developed plan may provide an effective program. <br /> <br />Therefore, the Council recommends that USDA and Reclamation <br /> <br />develop a joint planning study of the area to identify a <br /> <br />realistic salinity control program. <br /> <br />Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) <br />The EPA has in the past offered strong support of the <br /> <br />-10- <br /> <br />jl <br />,. <br />
