<br />o <br />~ <br />rv <br />00 <br /> <br />The Work Group decided to finalize the approach which it <br /> <br />would recommend for the resolution of such issues before <br /> <br />presenting the matter to the Forum. It is anticipated that <br /> <br />the Forum will receive the Work Group's recommendations early <br /> <br />next year. The Forum has advised the Bureau of Reclamation of <br /> <br />its deliberations to date. <br /> <br />Baseline Values <br /> <br />Baseline values, which are relationships between salt <br /> <br />load and flow, were developed for thirteen stations in the <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin. (A description of the methodology for <br /> <br />developing these values and the values themselves can be <br /> <br />found in the baseline value report adopted by the Forum <br /> <br />September 11, 1980). Values for the average annual salinity <br /> <br />concentration at each station for the 1982 water year were <br /> <br />compared to the baseline values, and all fell within the <br /> <br />acceptable range of variation. <br /> <br />Public Involvement and Participation <br />The seven Basin states continue to work with concerned <br /> <br />agencies to increase public awareness and understanding of <br /> <br />salinity and its impacts, and will coordinate this effort <br /> <br />with the Forum. This Annual Progress Report is a component <br /> <br />of this educational effort and will be distributed to <br /> <br />interested individuals and organizations. <br /> <br />Meetings of the Forum and its Work Group are open to the <br /> <br />public and all comments on its activities are considered and <br /> <br />-38- <br /> <br />, <br />,~ .,,.;, <br />
