[#0000FF]Had an inquiry on the board about where the carp removal program stood...as far as how many have been removed and how long it was going to go on. I addressed that to Sam Braegger at the Utah Lake Commission. Here is his reply:[/#0000FF]

As to your question, the most recent information we have is that the funding for intensive removal of the carp will be ending in the next month or so. During this spring, after that contract ends, there will be a new contract for what's being referenced as a "maintenance removal" level. This will be a goal of 1 million pounds of carp a year, versus the previous goal was 3-4 million pounds a year. The JSRIP is partnered with USU to research where they will go from there.
