Notice of Availability of the Record of
Decision for the Lower Duchesne River
Wetlands Mitigation Project (LDWP),
Duchesne and Uintah Counties, UT
Utah Reclamation Mitigation
and Conservation Commission.
ACTION: Notice of Availability of the
Record of Decision (ROD).
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: On May 22, 2008, the Utah
Reclamation Mitigation and
Conservation Commission
(Commission) selected the Proposed
Action presented in the Final
Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS),
PO 00000
Frm 00067
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
47645
Lower Duchesne River Wetlands
Mitigation Project (LDWP), April 2008.
The Record of Decision (ROD) for that
action is available as described below.
The LDWP is required to mititate for
impacts of the Bonneville Unit of the
Central Utah Project and to fulfill other
commitments to the Ute Indian Tribe
made as part of the Central Utah Project.
The U.S. Department of the Interior—
Central Utah Project Completion Act
Office, and the Commission were jointlead agencies for the FEIS, and the Ute
Indian Tribe was the lead planning
partner. The LDWP FEIS addresses
potential impacts related to construction
and operation of features proposed for
the LDWP and incorporates responses to
public comments received on the Draft
EIS. Based on the information and
analyses in the FEIS and other relevant
information, the Commission
determined the Proposed Action
responds best to LDWP needs and
purposes and does so in an
environmentally sound manner with
least potential for adverse effects on
social and economic resources.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD and/or
FEIS can be obtained at the Utah
Reclamation Mitigation and
Conservation Commission, 230 South
500 East, Suite 230, Salt Lake City,
Utah, 84102–2045. They may also be

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr.
Richard Mingo, Planning Coordinator at
(801) 524–3168.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
LDWP will fulfill certain environmental
mitigation commitments of the
Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah
Project. The Strawberry Aqueduct and
Collection System is a key component of
the Bonneville Unit, collecting water
from the Upper Duchesne River and its
tributaries and storing it in Strawberry
Reservoir for delivery westward to the
Wasatch Front in Utah. As a result,
wetlands and wildlife habitats along the
Duchesne River have been adversely
impacted. Substantial wetland impacts
occurred on the Uintah and Ouray
Reservation lands of the Ute Indian
Tribe. The LDWP has been planned in
conjunction with the Ute Indian Tribe
and is intended to fulfill a longstanding
commitment to mitigate for these
impacts on Ute Indian tribal wetland
wildlife resources and to provide
additional wetland/wildlife benefits to
the Ute Indian Tribe. The Proposed
Action would create, restore, and
otherwise enhance riparian wetland
habitats along or near the Duchesne
