The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) announces the availability of the Final Conceptual Restoration Plan for restoration of migratory bird resources injured by the release of hazardous materials from the Sharon Steel and Midvale Slag Superfund sites, along the Jordan River in Salt Lake County, Utah. The Conceptual Restoration Plan outlines a process for preparing, identifying, and selecting cooperative riparian habitat restoration projects and includes application requirements. These requirements were previously published in the Federal Register on August 8, 1995, Volume 60, No. 152. The Conceptual Restoration Plan for the Sharon Steel and Midvale Slag Superfund sites in Salt Lake County proposes natural resource restoration through Service partnerships with Federal, State, and local governments, as well as the environmental community. The Plan provides background on injuries to trust resources in the Jordan River System, identifies priority restoration activities, and presents a process for preparing, identifying, and selecting specific cooperative restoration projects. Once specific restoration projects have been selected, a draft Restoration Plan will be prepared and made available for public review and comment. Project implementation will begin after this Restoration Plan is finalized and National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requirements are met. Cooperative project proposals must be received no later than April 17, 1996. Address: Requests for copies of the Final Conceptual Restoration Plan and submission of project proposals or materials may be made to: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Contracting Office, P.O. Box 25486, DFC, Denver, CO 80225. For further technical information contact: Elise Peterson or Robert Williams, telephone 801-524-5001. (071)
