Description  
    Abstract
    The Special Area Land Treatment (SALT) Project was disigned by the Missouri
    Department of Natural Resources to assist landowners within a specific
    watershed in identifying and solving water quality issues.  The purpose of
    the SALT Project is to protect and maintain precious topsoil while sustaining
    the economic vitality of Missouris agriculure operations.  Sediment is the
    most significant pollutant resulting from agricultural practices.  Runoff may
    carry other pollutants such as pesticides or nutrients from fertilizers, which
    compound problems for the receiving waterways.  By promoting soil conservation
    practices, the SALT Project can mean clearer lakes and streams.  SALTs, which
    are administered through local soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs),
    are eligible to receive annual support grants, which can be used for
    personnel, equipment purchases, education, or other purposes that further the
    project goals.  The Special Area Land Treatment Program is funded by one-
    tenth-of-one-percent parks-and-soils sales tax, passed by Missouri voters in
    1984 and in 1988.
     
    There are twelve SALT pilot projects in the State of Missouri. These water-
    sheds have been awarded preliminary approval, and can begin implementation
    upon final approval of the watershed plan by the Missouri Department of
    Natural Resources.
     
     
    Purpose
    The Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) has contracted the Center
    for Agricultural, Resource and Environmental Systems (CARES) to conduct the
    evaluation and refinement of the Environmental Protection Agencys River
    Reach Files (RF3).  This four phase project will begin with RF3 enhancement
    for the state of Missouri.  This is being done in cooperation with the EPA
    and the USGS using the recently developed hydrographic Visual Pass process
    (VP).  In the creation of a national hydrography dataset, EPA RF3 attribute
    data will be conflated to the USGS digital line graph dataset.  Phase two
    will be the accumulation of spatial data sets for Missouri, including
    concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), Special Area Land Treatment
    (SALT) and EARTH projects and priority watersheds.  Phase three will be the
    development of a decision support system with accessibility of the data
    through the Internet.  This tool will utilize other natural resource data
    currently available through the Missouri Spatial Data Information Service
    (MSDIS).  Phase four will be the creation of presentation materials, a
    procedure manual and training the MDNR staff on the use of the decision
    support system.
     
     
Supplemental_Information
    Procedures_Used
    Written or graphic descriptions of each SALT and EARTH Project watershed was
    obtain through MDNR from local soil and water conservation districts.
    The Natural Resources Conservation Services 14-digit hydrologic units
    coverage obtained from the Lincoln University GIS/RS Laboratory was used to
    delineate SALT watershed boundaries where the SALT boundaries agreed with
    the NRCS 14-digit hydrologic units.  Watershed boundary attributes were
    added to the arc attribute table.  NRCS 14-digit boundaries were coded as
    14, non-NRCS boundaries were given a code of 1.  Watershed attributes were
    added to the polygon attribute table.  A node attribute table was constructed
    to identify the coordinates of the watershed outlet point.  Regions were
    constructed because some SALT projects were appended to or nested other SALT
    projects.
