As part of public <br />involvement, the Forum held two public meetings in connection with <br />adoption of the 1990 Review - Water Qualitv Standards for Salinitv - Colorado <br />RiverSvstem. At the meetings held on September 17, 1990, in Price, <br />utah and September 18, 1990 in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Forum <br />received comments on the proposed document. The Forum prepared a <br />supplemental report in October 1990 to incorporate the comments <br />received at the public meetings. <br /> <br />In conjunction with the Forum, the seven Basin states continue <br />to work to increase the public'S understanding of Colorado River <br />salinity. This Annual Progress Report is a part of that effort. <br /> <br />All Forum meetings except executive sessions are open to the <br />public. The Forum's Executive Director also contributes to the <br />pUblic'S understanding through meetings, public appearances, and <br />speeches. <br /> <br />The Basin states assist the federal agencies in their ongoing <br />pUblic involvement process. Reclamation, in cooperation with the <br />Forum, produces a newsletter entitled "Salinity Update" which is <br />used by the Forum and the Basin states to keep the public advised <br />of progress being made through the federal and state efforts. <br /> <br />Executive Director and Forum Office <br /> <br />The Forum is served by an Executive Director and a secretary, <br />with offices located at 106 West 500 South, suite 101, BountifUl, <br />Utah. The office and the costs associated with the activities of <br />the staff are funded by the Basin states. The Forum's staff helps <br />to coordinate the salinity control efforts of the Basin states. <br />The office acts as a focal point for communication among the Basin <br />states and provides for direct communication from the Forum to the <br />federal agencies involved and to the Congress. <br /> <br />The Executive Director, in cooperation with the Basin states, <br />has updated the compilation of the NPDES permits within the Basin <br />in a computer library.
