Provo River Restoration Project

Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, the Commission and the Department have jointly issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Provo River Restoration Project (PRRP). The FEIS 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 to fulfill commitments of the 1988 Aquatic Mitigation Plan for the Strawberry Aqueduct and Collection System (SACS) and the 1987 Wildlife Mitigation Plan for 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 the Commission and the Department to apply additional fish habitat and riparian habitat rehabilitation benefits and recreational facilities on the Provo River as mitigation for the Provo River Project, a duly authorized Reclamation project prior to CUP.
