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, August 11th at 10 AM in the Commission office conference room at 230 South 500 East, Suite 230, with remote participation available through Microsoft Teams.

Among the items proposed for Commission action is the ratification of modifications to agreements with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the Ute Tribe to continue support for the Provo River Delta Restoration Project, Utah Lake Wetland Preserve and the Lower Duchesne River Wetlands Project, respectively.

Included in the four agreements proposed for Commission consideration are modifications to an agreement with Brigham Young University to continue a multi-year bird study near Provo City Airport, and to an agreement with Utah State University for wetland and vegetation monitoring for the Provo River Delta Restoration Project.

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.
