<br /> 1/ Off-farm ditch lining is not included with this program emphasizing onfarm irrigation water management only.
<br /> 2/ These off-farm actions include lining small and medium laterals included in maximum salt reduction analyses.
<br /> 3/ A limited amount of off-farm ditch lining is included with maximum level onfarm improvements to assure proper
<br /> operation of onfarm system improvements.
<br /> 4/ Includes 18,300 acres of avoided habitat and 3,700 acres of new habitat development.'
<br /> 5/ Costs based on July 1980 price base, amortized at 7 3/8 percent interest over 25 years.
<br /> 6/ Benefits and costs were computed in present value terms using 10-year installation period.
