<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 River 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, Utah, and Wyoming.
<br />The program applies to lands that are in an identified salt source area, privately owned or
<br />controlled land, Indian tribal land, irrigation district or company land, and State and local
<br />government land,
<br />
<br />As a result of the October 1994 reorganization of the United States Department of
<br />Agriculture (USDA), numerous programs have been reassigned to newly restructured
<br />agencies, The Consolidated Farm Service Agency (CFSA) (formerly Agricultural
<br />Stabilization and Conservation Service) no longer administers the CRSC. This program is
<br />now assigned to the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) (formerly Soil
<br />Conservation Service),
<br />
<br />, This summary contains the National and State data for all practice payments made during
<br />the 1994 fiscal year and cumulative data from 1987 through 1994.
