SUBJECT: Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission Meeting

Salt Lake City, UT - The Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission will hold its next public meeting Tuesday, April 7 at 10 AM in the Commission Office conference room at 230 South 500 East, Suite 230. The meeting also will be available online via Microsoft Teams.

The Commission will consider approving modifications to two existing agreements: one with Brigham Young University to support ongoing research of Sage grouse in Strawberry Valley, and another with Utah County for pest monitoring and control services in the Provo River Delta area.

The Commission will take into consideration a proposed new agreement with the Utah Division of State Parks to support revegetation and recreation improvements associated with the small dam construction on the Old Provo Channel near Utah Lake State Park. In addition, the Commission will consider modifying an existing agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to provide funding for wildlife hazard mitigation at the Provo Airport and the Provo River Delta.

The Mitigation Commission is an independent Federal agency created by the Central Utah Project Completion Act of 1992. The Commission is responsible for planning, funding, and implementing projects that offset the impacts to fish, wildlife, and related recreation resources caused by the Central Utah Project, and other Federal water reclamation projects in Utah. The Commission meets publicly to consider and act on agreements to carry out mitigation projects with various partners, including State and Federal natural resource agencies, native American tribes and non-profit groups.
