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, June 18 at 10 AM in the Commission Office conference room at 230 South 500 East, Suite 230. The meeting also will be available online via WebEx at: https://bor.webex.com/bor/j.php?MTID=m467ea4fb52b691b05fff6bf96148068f

Two agreements will be proposed for Commission action at the meeting, both of which would continue the Commission’s support of Utah wildlife conservation. One agreement would provide additional funding to Brigham Young University for continued Sage grouse conservation work in Strawberry Valley. The other agreement provides additional funding to Utah Division of Wildlife Resources for continued Bonneville and Colorado River cutthroat trout conservation efforts.

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.
