<br />PREFACE
<br />
<br />The Colorado River Salinity Control Program (CRSC) is authorized by Section 202(c) of
<br />Title II of the Colorado River Basin Salinity Control Act of 1974, as amended
<br />(43 U.S.C. 1592).
<br />
<br />The CRSC provides financial and technical assistance to identify salt source areas in the
<br />Colorado Rivet Basin; to install conservation practices to reduce salinity levels in the
<br />Colorado River; to carry out research, education, and demonstration activities and
<br />monitoring and evaluation activities.
<br />
<br />The CRSC is authorized in the States of Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada,
<br />New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. However, Salinity Reduction Practices (SRP's) have
<br />only been installed in Colorado, Nevada, Utah, and Wyoming. The program will be
<br />expanded to include the other States in future years. The program applies to lands that
<br />are in an identified salt source area, privately owned or controlled land, Indian tribal
<br />land, irrigation district or company land, and State and local government land.
<br />
<br />The CRSC is administered cooperatively by the Agricultural Stabilization and
<br />Conservation Service (ASCS), Extension Service (ES), and the Soil Conservation Service
<br />(SCS) of the United States Department of Agriculture. Technical assistance is provided
<br />by the SCS and the ES.
<br />
<br />Other agencies involved in the CRSC are: The Agricultural Research Service,
<br />Cooperative State Research Service, Farmers Home Administration, Bureau of
<br />Reclamation, and Fish and Wildlife agencies. Applicants may obtain further information
<br />from any of these agencies.
