\section{\label{A_CREP_GOALS}Goals of the Federal Fallowing Incentives CREP Program} The main goals of the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) within the subdistricts are (\cite{sbd12013a}): \begin{enumerate}[label=(\roman*)] \item Enroll 40,000 acres of cropland. \item Reduce irrigated water use by 60,060 acre-feet per year. \item Reduce annual fertilizer and pesticide application from enrolled acres by approximately 3,650 tons per year. \item Restore and enhance a minimum of 750 acres of degraded temporary and permanent wetlands. \item Increase streamflows in streams associated with the watershed within the project area. \item Reduce energy consumption over the 15-year term of the CREP contract's two hundred million kW-hours. \item Reduce the percentage of groundwater test wells containing nitrogen (NO\textsubscript{3}) levels above EPA standards. \item Enable recovery of the groundwater levels in the unconfined aquifer of the closed basin by reducing consumptive withdrawals. \end{enumerate}
