Expenditures of these funds are limited to Operations and Maintenance of the Hatchery Systems in the state: $649,400.

Funding Detail

Two dollars of each fishing license fee or combination license fee are deposited into the State Fish Hatchery Maintenance Restricted Account, which together with the earned interest, constitute the revenue source for this restricted fund. The federal funds generally come from the Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Dingell/Johnson program, designed to maintain all fisheries at a standard to meet the public needs.

Program: Fisheries

Function

This is the only program currently used in this line item. It is used to improve fisheries access, enhance motorboat access and facilities, improve fish hatcheries, and enhance fish habitat.

The division operates 10 hatcheries in Bicknell, Hatch, Fountain Green, Mantua, Glenwood, Kamas, Springville, Loa, Midway and Whiterocks. The Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission (URMCC) has committed funds to DWR for ongoing coverage of additional costs associated with the additional fish production from these state-of-the-art facilities.
