CV-SALTS Management Efforts: Local Projects and Industry Efforts
Ongoing EffortsIn 2008, Staff identified a number of projects and programs in the Central Valley and Delta regions with salt (including nitrate) management as either a primary goal or as a beneficial side effect of actions taken for some other reason (e.g. selenium management). We are in the process of collecting more detailed information on these projects and expanding our list as new projects are brought to our attention through CV-SALTS.
The regional salt management plan developed by the CV-SALTS stakeholders will not supplant local efforts but rather seek to incorporate the lessons learned through these local efforts into the regional plan.
