UTAH RECLAMATION MITIGATION

AND CONSERVATION COMMISSION

Provo River Restoration Project

AGENCIES: The Utah Reclamation

Mitigation and Conservation

Commission (Commission) and the

Department of the Interior (Department).

ACTION: Notice of availability of the

Draft Environmental Impact Statement

(DEIS).

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act of 1969, as amended, the

Commission and the Department have

issued a joint Draft Environmental

Impact Statement (DEIS) for the Provo

River Restoration Project (PRRP). The

DEIS analyzes alternatives and impacts

associated with measures to restore and

improve the fish habitat, riparian

habitat, and natural functioning of the

Provo River between Jordanelle Dam

and Deer Creek Reservoir, Wasatch

County, Utah. These measures are

required by the 1988 Aquatic Mitigation

Plan for the Strawberry Aqueduct and

Collection System (SACS) of the

Bonneville Unit of CUP as partial

mitigation for past impacts of the CUP

to this and other reaches of the Provo

River and to other streams within the

Bonneville Unit area. The Central Utah

Project Completion Act (CUPCA) also

authorizes additional fish habitat

improvements, riparian habitat

rehabilitation, and recreational facilities

on the Provo River. The Provo River

Restoration Project plan presents three

action alternatives which meet, to a

greater or lesser degree depending on

the alternative selected, the

Commission’s habitat restoration and

improvement mitigation and

conservation responsibilities associated

with the Provo River corridor in Heber

Valley.

Public participation has occurred

throughout the EIS process. A Notice of

Intent was filed in the Federal Register

in December 1992. Since that time, open

houses, public meetings, and mail-outs

have been conducted to solicit

comments and ideas. Any comments

received throughout the process have

been considered.

DATES: Written comments on the DEIS

must be submitted or postmarked no

later than August 13, 1996. Comments

on the DEIS may also be presented

verbally or submitted in writing at the

public hearings to be held at the

following times and locations:

• 6:00 p.m., July 16, 1996; Wasatch

County Middle School, 800 South 200

East, Heber City, Utah

• 6:30 p.m., July 17, 1996; Salt Lake

County Commission Chambers, 2001

South State, Salt Lake City, Utah

The public hearings are being held to

address two separate actions: (1) The

Wasatch County Water Efficiency

Project and Daniel Replacement Project,

and (2) the Provo River Restoration

Project. Each action should be

addressed separately. Testimony may be

given on each of the two actions but

should be made and identified as two

separate presentations. In order to be

included as part of the hearing record,

written testimony must be submitted at

the time of the hearing. Verbal

testimony will be limited to 5 minutes

for each DEIS. Those wishing to give

testimony at a hearing should submit a

registration form, included at the end of

the DEIS, to the address listed below by

July 15, 1996.
