<br />I\) <br />~ <br />~ <br />o <br /> <br />At the urging of the FQrum, WPRS has maintained the <br />priority level of the salinity control program within the <br />agency so that further delays may be minimized. In order <br />to expedite the planning studies, WPRS awarded a contract <br />for the feasibility 1ev~1 studies on the Meeker Dome Unit <br />to CHZM-Hi1l. Another contract ($1.0 million) was awarded <br />to URS Corporation, Denver, in September to evaluate various <br />alternatives for the G1enwood-Dotsero Springs feasibility <br />investigations. <br /> <br />For the Big Sandy Unit, three of eleven alternative <br />Soil Conservation Service (SCS) studies show a favorable <br />benefit-cost ratio and significant salinity reduction but <br />opposition to each plan was substantial. The State opposed <br />the use of an evaporation pond because of the loss of 13,500 <br />acre-feet of water annually. Energy companies have indicated <br />an interest in use of Big Sandy water for coal-related energy <br />development. Further study of the industrial use option in <br />concert with other possibilities is required. A WPRS award <br />of a contract for professional services is anticipated in <br /> <br />May 1981 to complete feasibility study. <br /> <br />The Lower Virgin River study is continuing to expand <br /> <br /> <br />needed data gathering efforts. Desert Research Institute <br /> <br /> <br />has a contract for a water-salt budget study. <br /> <br />-12- <br />
