A significant issue that will have to be addressed by the Lower <br />Basin States is, "Do the Lower Basin States wish to depart from the cost effectiveness criteria for <br />selecting projects based on the control of total dissolved solids concentration in order to reduce the <br />selenium concentration in Colorado River water?" It was suggested that the Forum may wish to <br />consider partnering with other agencies, whose funds could assist in improving the cost-effectiveness <br />from the Forum's standpoint, benefitting both salinity control in general and selenium control in <br />particular, The Committee was charged with preparing a draft report, for the fall meeting, discussing <br />the pros and cons of the Forum targeting the control of selenium in the Colorado River, <br /> <br />Finally, the California State Water Resources Control Board Revised Water Rights Order <br />2002-13 which directed the Regional Water Quality Control Board, Colorado River Basin (Regional <br />Board) to address the mass loading of selenium issue through the Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) <br />process or any other appropriate process. The Regional Board has stated that "the proposed seleni urn <br />TMDL would focus on selenium throughout the Upper and Lower Colorado River Basin States <br />(Colorado River Watershed), and would address selenium reduction at the sources, but could also <br />include management practices to address concentrating of selenium in Imperial Valley." <br /> <br />~i <br /> <br /> <br />Ex <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br />
