(Federal Government Offers Salton Sea Funds)....The offer was made Monday.

$250 million is being offered over a 4 year period. The funds would be used to assist in the environmental clean-up and restoration of the Salton Sea. The offer would need to be accepted by the Imperial Irrigation District. That could happen Tuesday Afternoon. The IID Directors are holding a special meeting in El Centro. The meeting is being held in the training room on Main Street, beginning at 4 pm. The offer comes after Arizona Senator Kelly asked that the Department of Interior withhold all funding for the Salton Sea until California agrees to do more, such as cut more water usage, to assist in the current Colorado River Drought.
