SUBJECT: Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission Meeting

Orem, UT - The Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission will hold its next public meeting Tuesday, May 12th at 9 AM at the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, 1426 East 750 North, Suite 400. The meeting also will be available online via Microsoft Teams.

Two items relating to the Provo River Delta Restoration Project will be proposed for Commission action. The first item would be to modify an existing agreement with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Wildlife Services to provide additional funding for wildlife hazard mitigation at the delta. The other item is a proposed new agreement with the Utah Division of State Parks to fund revegetation and recreation improvements associated with the delta project’s small dam construction on the Old Provo Channel near Utah Lake State Park.

The Commission will take into consideration for future action a proposed modification of agreement with U.S. Bureau of Reclamation to perform riparian enhancements and Pole Creek Fire Restoration in Diamond Fork Canyon.

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.
