DATES: ca. 1997-
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological by year, thereunder alphabetical by subject
DESCRIPTION: These are records documenting the agency's participation in projects funded by the San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program. The program works along the San Juan River system to enhance the preservation of native aquatic species, with particular emphasis on habitats that have been broken up by dams constructed on the river. In Utah, much of the San Juan River flows through Native American tribal lands, requiring negotiations with tribal representatives for access to the river and performance of program activities. The San Juan River Recovery Implementation Program is a New Mexico based joint effort managed by the Federal Fish and Wildlife Service. Other participating agencies include the Federal Bureau of Reclamation, Federal Bureau of Land Management, the Utah Reclamation and Mitigation Conservation Commission, local water conservancy groups and the biology departments of some area universities. Program activities include monitoring the species, habitat enhancement, genetic research, stocking and hatchery propagation. Types of records included are summaries of meetings with the other participating agencies, comments on draft documents from peer reviews, correspondence about meetings or field trips, work on specific projects within the program and documentation of negotiations with Native American tribal representatives.
