These programs <br />are essential if the salinity standards adopted by the states <br />and approved by EPA are to be achieved. The Council urges <br />that EPA obtain closer coordination between their water and <br /> <br />enforcement divisions in each region. Furthermore, the Council <br /> <br /> <br />perceives a need for closer coordination'between the various <br /> <br /> <br />EPA Regional Offices which have responsibility for activities <br /> <br />with the Colorado River Basin. <br /> <br />In addition, representatives <br /> <br />from EPA should actively participate in the activities of <br />the WPRS's salinity control planning teams. <br />The Council appreciates the opportunity to submit <br />its recommendations to the federal agencies. <br /> <br />-11- <br /> <br />__ _._.__.n _, <br />
