The company behind a project to dredge and build islands on Utah Lake is asking the state to reconsider its rejection of the project.
But Utah's Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands has signaled it is unwilling to change its mind.
Lake Restoration Solutions insists the Division did not act consistently with new Utah laws on the lake. The proposal, which calls for dredging the lake and building a number of islands in order to improve its habitat, create developable lands, has been controversial since its inception. Community groups have mobilized against it, and the Utah State Legislature passed laws that required a more thorough process before any restoration project goes forward.
"Lake Restoration Solutions has filed an appeal because Utah Lake still has massive environmental challenges that need to be addressed. Lake Restoration Solutions is committed to its mission of helping to restore and rejuvenate a struggling Utah Lake to once again be a gem for all Utahns to enjoy," the company said in a statement on Monday.
