Such applications may consist of projects to reduce salinity contributions originating from saline springs, leaking wells, irrigation sources, municipal and industrial sources, erosion of public and private land, or other sources.Only those irrigation-related projects that will reduce salt from delivery systems will be considered, e.g., canals, ditches, or laterals.

Such projects should be referred to the USDA-NRCS Environmental Quality Incentives Program. However, projects that enable on-farm work may be given a higher rating as detailed in the evaluation criteria.
