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 Monday, October 19th at 10 AM in the Commission office conference room at 230 South 500 East, Suite 230, with remote participation available through Microsoft Teams.

During the meeting, Commissioners will consider taking action on proposed agreements supporting acquisition of water rights in the lower Provo River to help sustain its flows and supporting management of mitigation properties in the Duchesne River watershed and the south shore of the Great Salt Lake.

The Commission will also consider a new agreement to provide funding to the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program, a multi-agency effort to restore and maintain populations of the threatened June sucker, a fish native to Utah Lake and its tributaries.

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.
