The Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) was initiated in 1984 to restore and
maintain the fish and wildlife stocks of the Trinity River Basin to levels that
existed just prior to construction of the Trinity and Lewiston Dams in the mid-1960s.
The current phase of the program was authorized by a Record of Decision signed by
the Secretary of the Interior on December 19, 2000, and has a goal of restoring
naturally-spawning salmon and steelhead populations to pre-dam levels.
The TRRP is implementing a strong science program, significant physical/mechanical
channel restoration actions in the mainstem, watershed restoration in the tributaries,
and significantly increased flow releases to the river that mimic the basin's snowmelt
driven hydrography. The Program is guided by the Trinity Management Council (TMC)
and Trinity Adaptive Management Working Group (TAMWG). A TRRP field office was established
in September 2002 to implement restoration activities and provide support to the
TMC.

The Utah Water Research Laboratory (UWRL) is a stand-alone facility located at Utah
State University (USU) on the Logan River, Logan, Utah. The UWRL operates within
an academic environment and collaborates with government and private sectors to
address technical and societal aspects of water-related issues, including quality,
quantity, distribution, and conjunctive use. This is accomplished through providing
more than 100,000 square feet of state-of-the-art laboratory, computer, and office
space.
The mission of the Utah Water Research Laboratory includes the following activities
that are related to stewardship of water quantity and quality:
- Facilitate research that supports education and teaching within a university environment.
- Conduct research that is directed at solving multimedia water-related problems of
state, national, and international scopes.
- Cooperate with academic departments and other academic research units in generating,
transmitting, applying, and preserving knowledge in ways that are consistent with
the land grant university mission of Utah State University.
- Conduct research that provides for a technically informed water-related policy that
can be used to ensure and improve human health and environmental assets in Utah,
the United States, and globally.
- Facilitate research, testing, and design activities that involve training university
students to provide services to audiences that are external to the university.
- Provide research-based training on water-related subjects to governmental and private
organizations and to the general public.
