YOU ARE INVITED to attend a public open house regarding management of Bear Lake.
The Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) is updating the 2009 comprehensive management plan (CMP) for the state-owned, sovereign land sections of Bear Lake in Rich County, Utah. The ordinary high water mark (OHWM) of Bear Lake is generally recognized to be at 5,923.65 feet above mean sea level. The bed of Utah’s part of Bear Lake lying below the OHWM is sovereign la
Utah’s sovereign lands are owned by the state but held in trust for the public. FFSL is required to ensure that all uses on, beneath, or above the bed of Bear Lake are regulated to protect navigation, fish and wildlife habitat, aquatic beauty, public recreation, and water quality. The updated comprehensive management plan will ensure that FFSL uses the most recent scientific data and follows consistent guidance in managing Bear Lake’s resources.
FFSL will present information regarding the CMP process and seek public participation at an open house meeting in Salt Lake City. The open house will be in the same format and have the same information as the meeting previously held in Bear Lake on September 27th.
We welcome your input! If you cannot attend the meeting in person, you may also make comments via the project website. Please visit http://bit.ly/BearLakeCMP for more details. The meeting will be held on:
Wednesday, November 20th from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Utah Department of Natural Resources building at 1594 W. North Temple in Salt Lake City.
Please feel free to forward this invitation to other parties that may be interested or a more appropriate person in your organization. On behalf of FFSL, we hope you can join us.
