The Forum has also provided for public involve- <br />ment in the standards review process. <br />The Forum, as part of the 1978 revision process, held <br />two public meetings to receive comments on the "1978 <br />Revision - Water Quality Standards for Salinity Including <br />Numeric Criteria and Plan of Implementation for Salinity <br />Control, Colorado River System". As a result of the public <br />input, the Forum prepared a supplement to the August 1978 <br />report which summarized and analyzed the comments received <br /> <br />and made modifications in the report based on the comments. <br /> <br />As each of the Basin states proceeded with its adop- <br /> <br />tion process, one or more statewide public hearings were <br /> <br />held. <br /> <br />There was widespread announcement of the Forum <br /> <br />and state hearings and a large number of copies of the <br />proposed standards revision were mailed to interested <br /> <br />agencies and groups. <br /> <br />-40- <br />
