Abstract
This final rule removes obsolete regulations pertaining to the Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation Improvement program. The Wellton-Mohawk Irrigation Improvement program has not been in effect since 1987. The Colorado River Salinity Control Program (CRSCP), which has been funded since 1987, addresses the issue of salinity control in the entire Colorado River Basin on agricultural lands. This approach replaced the need to address salinity control in only the Wellton-Mohawk project area by broadening efforts throughout the entire Colorado River basin. Additionally, after review of this inactive program, this action is being taken as part of the National Performance Review program to eliminate unnecessary regulations and improve those that remain in force.
