To promote the removal of these upgraded sandbar .areas pursuant to the "Kern River Channel Maintenance Program", it is recommended that the price. for sand removal be continued at $0.50 per cubic yard until river channel conditions are improved. As outlined on the "1987 WATER PRICE and SAND SALE SCHED- ULE,'' all categories for pricing would remain in effect until water conditions warranted changes' in these schedules.
