SUBJECT: Utah Reclamation Mitigation
and Conservation Commission Meeting
Salt Lake City, UT - The Utah Reclamation Mitigation
and Conservation Commission will hold a public meeting on Thursday,
February 25 at 10 a.m. in the Commission office conference room at
230 South 500 East, Suite 230.
Four agreements will be presented for Commission action at the meeting.
Among the agreements is one funding stewardship and operations and maintenance
of the Provo River Restoration Project - an ecosystem restoration project along
the middle Provo River in Wasatch County; and another, would fund operation
and maintenance costs of two stream gages in the Uinta Basin. Two agreement
modifications will be presented for the Commission to consider approving at
its meeting in March.
The Mitigation Commission is an independent Federal
agency established by the Central Utah Project Completion
Act of 1992. The Commission is responsible for planning,
funding, and implementing projects that benefit fish,
wildlife, and related recreation resources in order
to offset impacts 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 and non-profit groups.
