A controversial proposal to dredge Utah Lake and build a series of islands on it is now in the hands of a judge.
Fourth District Court Judge Christine Johnson heard arguments on Tuesday in Lake Restoration Solutions' lawsuit against Utah's Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands.Lake Restoration Solutions is suing the division for rejecting their permit application for the multi-billion dollar project. The state has deemed the project would be"detrimental to the citizens of Utah" and would not pass constitutional muster.
Lake Restoration Solutions proposed the idea of dredging the lake to help with environmental concerns and using some sediment to build islands for housing, habitat and recreation. But the Division of Forestry, Fire & State Lands and Utah Dept. of Natural Resources Director Joel Ferry rejected the proposal.
