<br />4 <br /> <br />'" <br /> <br />, <br /> <br />wheel drive vehicles for field work. <br /> <br />00 <br />N <br />~ <br />w <br /> <br />A steering Committee was organized to oversee the progress of <br />project. It consisted of representatives from the following <br />organizations: <br /> <br />Colorado River Basin Salinity Forum <br />US Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service <br />US Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation <br />US Department of Interior, Bureau of Land Management <br />US Department of Interior, Geological Survey <br />US Environmental Protection Agency <br />State of Utah, Department of Agriculture <br />State of utah, Department of Health <br />Division of Environmental Health <br />State of Utah, Department of Natural Resources <br />Division of Natural Resources <br />Division of Water Resources <br /> <br />PROJECT COSTS <br /> <br />Project costs were divided among the four major participants: <br />Bureau of Reclamation ------~--- $100,000 <br />Soil Conservation Service -------$ 45,000 <br />Bureau of Land Management -------$ 52,500 <br />utah Department of Agriculture --$ 29,500 <br />TOTAL $227,000 <br /> <br />These costs can be viewed in terms of the cost to 'implement the <br />Sand Wash Watershed project of approximately $471,500 (SCS, 1986). <br />The products of the project were ~eport of the Watershed Resource <br />Inventory of the Colorado River Basin in Utah and the six detailed' <br />Phase II reports of resource evaluations for the eighttarge1:ed" <br />watersheds (four of the watersheds were evaluated in' two pairs due <br />to similarities). The estimated cost of the Phase I Colorado~iver <br />Basin in Utah resource inventory is approximately $40,000. The <br />estimated cost of a Phase II target watershed evaluation for the <br />four weeks is approximately $25,000, including the field personnel <br />and overhead. <br /> <br />PHASE I - STATEWIDE RESOURCE INVENTORY <br /> <br />The purpose of Phase I was to create an inventory of specific <br />resource ~aps that relate to rangeland sediment and salinity <br />control. The inventory would allow for a prioritization of the 218 <br />watersheds within the Colorado River Basin of Utah based on <br />potentially treatable critically eroding rangelands. The result <br />was a management planning tool that may be used on a state level to <br />rate and compare specific watersheds for resource problems and <br />planning potential. <br /> <br />A mapping scale of 1:500,000 was determined to be of sufficient <br />detail for the purposes of this inventory. The base map for ,this <br />phase of the project was the Watershed Map of the State of Utiah <br /> <br />'! <br />.j <br />" <br />'j <br /> <br />. ,-~ <br />, ~> <br />'R <br />~ <br />. -~ <br />, <br />, <br />.' <br />i <br /> <br />-J. <br />I <br />
