<br />002503 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />.I <br /> <br />comments received at the five public meetings held across the Upper and Lower Basin. The most <br />significant change was to Appendix B dealing with the NPDES Permit Program which we have <br />discussed at previous meetings. A new Appendix D was added to capture the various oral and <br />written comments. Each comment is followed by the Forom's response. <br /> <br />Since the issuance of the] 999 Review, installed salinity control measures have increased <br />from 721,000 tons/year to 800,000 tons/year. Salinity control measures leading to the annual <br />removal ofan additional] ,000,000 tons of salt must be implemented by 2020 to meet the Program's <br />goal of approximately 1.8 million tons of salt-load reduction annually. <br /> <br />The 2002 Review recommends no change in the numeric criteria and proposes a Plan of <br />Implementation for controlling salinity. The Forum has formally transmitted the 2002 Review to <br />each state's water quality agency who in turn will submit it to the Environmental Protection Agency <br />for its approval as part of that state's water quality standards. <br /> <br /> <br />11 <br />
