The Backcountry Management Plan and the Long Term Experimental Management Plan are important documents as they impact the private boating community. Both go back a few years and are provided here as reference.

**The Long Term Experimental Management Program record of decision was finalized in 2016. It analyzed the impact of releases from Glen Canyon Dam on the many conditions downstream. Here’s a summary of the public scoping sessions on the EIS.**

The USGS Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center provides info on topics such as the riparian habitat, humpback chub, high flow experiments, etc. See GCPBA’s critique of the 2016 HFE and the USBR’s response.

The Back Country Management Plan impacts private boaters by way of potential camp conflicts at Hermit, Granite, Tapeats, Ross Wheeler, Lower Bass to name a few. GCPBA commented and jointly wrote a letter with American Canyoneers
