Minidoka North Side Resource Management Plan

The process of creating the resource management plan (RMP) was started in 2002 and consisted of a detailed planning process culminating in the preparation of an RMP document in January 2005. The RMP is Reclamation’s blueprint for the future use, management, and site development of the reservoir over the next ten years. For a hard copy of the document email Vicki Kellerman at vkellerman@pn.usbr.gov or call (208) 378-5326.
