The Bureau of Reclamation will host a meeting in Moses Lake on Wednesday, July 30 to provide information on its proposed revised rule regarding public use of Reclamation lands, facilities, and waterbodies.

The meeting will be held from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. at Big Bend Community College, 7662 Chanute Street NE, Moses Lake, Wash. The meeting facilities are physically accessible to people with disabilities.
Reclamation is accepting comments from the public on the proposed revision to this rule (43 CFR Part 429), which was recently published in the Federal Register. However, the purpose of the meeting is only to provide information and answer questions.
