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 9th at 10 AM in the Commission office conference room at 230 South 500 East, Suite 230, with remote participation available through Microsoft Teams.

Proposed for Commission action is an agreement modification with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to continue riparian enhancements and restoration activities associated with the Pole Creek Fire in Diamond Fork Canyon. In addition, modifications of agreements with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the Ute Tribe will be presented for Commission consideration. These modifications would continue support for the Provo River Delta Restoration Project Utah Lake Wetland Preserve and the Lower Duchesne River Wetlands Project, respectively.

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.
