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}
