James Westwater: Utah Lake is not 'broken' and its restoration does not require a radical plan.
Utah Lake on Wednesday, Jan. 26, 2022., Utah Lake is facing a man-made threat that would cause irreparable damage to the lake and a significant loss of public ownership.
The claims sited below are from statements offered by the developer to justify the private takeover of a large part of our publicly-owned Utah Lake.Developer’s claim: Dredging and island-city-building is needed and would restore Utah Lake to a clear, pristine state at “zero” cost to taxpayers. • Correction: Utah Lake could use more help, but the lake is improving in most areas. It is naturally shallow and turbid. That is healthy for the lake.For decades, efforts to help the lake “have proven futile”and “algal blooms in Utah Lake have worsened.”
• Correction: In fact, these natural characteristics — evaporation, wind and waves — are beneficial, making the lake incredibly resilient and supplying essential services to our community. Lake evaporation provides moisture for rain and cooling in warmer months, and potentially adding much needed snowpack in winter. Wind and waves keep the water mixed and help prevent fish kills in summer.Utah Lake needs to be dredged to restore it. How much needs to be dredged? ... “one billion cubic yards.
