Blueprint Jordan River
Comprehensive Management Plan
In January 2017, the Utah Department of Natural Resources Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) finalized the first-ever comprehensive management plan for the Jordan River, a sovereign land body, which flows through Utah, Salt Lake and Davis Counties. Utah Admin Code R652-2-100 authorizes FFSL to prescribe land management objectives for sovereign lands. The beds of navigable waters within the state, including the Jordan River, 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 the Jordan River are regulated to ensure the protection of navigation, fish and wildlife habitat, aquatic beauty, public recreation and water quality.
Annual Reports
The Jordan River Commission produced its first “annual” report in 2015, which served as a catch-up summary of the organizations’ efforts over its first few years of existence (2010-2015). Subsequent years will each have their own individual report.
