Provo River Delta RestorationPresentation By: Melissa Stamp, Utah Reclamation Mitigation & Conservation Commission
The Provo River Delta Restoration Project will create a more natural lower Provo River that will restore aquatic habitat to support recovery of the endangered June sucker. In the process, it will also help secure much needed water resources, help restore Utah Lake’s ecosystem, and will offer additional recreation opportunities amid scenic surroundings. The Provo River Delta area will be a unique and special place, in close proximity to a large urban center, where people can experience the lake as it was before urbanization. Who’s Involved? The project team consists of staff from the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, Department of the Interior-Central Utah Project Completion Act Office, Central Utah Water Conservancy District and the June Sucker Recovery Implementation Program.
