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, September 29 at 10 AM in the Commission Office conference room at 230 South 500 East, Suite 230. The meeting also will be available online via Microsoft Teams.

Among the items proposed for action at the meeting are new agreements with the Bureau of Reclamation to provide funding for habitat restoration projects in areas affected by fires in Diamond Fork Canyon and the Middle Strawberry River.

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.
