Show Existing Uses, Leases and Permits Grazing Permits and Easements There are nine active grazing permits on sovereign land in the west Kaysville and west Layton marshes in Davis County. Sovereign land grazing permits may be terminated on short notice. Easements on sovereign land include two railroad crossings, Antelope Island access ( north and south), power lines, and mineral- related developments ( e. g. brine intake canals, the Behrens Trench). Sovereign Land Surface Leases ( with Map Bl reference) Military Buffer Zone, Special Use Lease 451 ( Al). This lease covers the lakeward extension of the Hill Air Force Bombing and Gunnery Range. The lease grants exclusive rights to the surface use of the land whether inundated or not. The primary purpose is to provide a buffer around live fire target areas. Because the area was used for bombing practice during World War n, and since errant projectiles occasionally land on the property under the present use, unexploded ordinance likely exists on sovereign land. Lake Front Duck Club, Special Use Lease 630 ( A2) This lease is part of a negotiated settlement of a land ownership dispute in the area. The lease authorizes maintenance of waterfowl habitat, waterfowl propagation, recreation and activities relating to waterfowl hunting by club members. Except for the creation of waterfowl habitat, the sovereign land is to remain in a natural state. Spiral Jetty, Special Use Lease 889 ( A3) The spiral, built of basalt rock, is about 1500 feet in length inside an area approximately 300 feet long and 150 feet wide. The site is accessible via roads that lead to Rozel Point from Golden Spike National Historic Site. Originally created for visual enjoyment from the air, shore and on the jetty itself, it may be very difficult to see. During construction the north arm elevation was around 4195 feet and the jetty extended generally less than two feet above the water. The jetty now lies under water but is exposed from time to time. Boat Harbor, Special Use Lease 964 ( A4) This lease provides a private harbor for brine shrimp harvesting. Industrial Buffer Zone, Special Use Lease 980 ( A5) This lease provides a buffer zone around ThiokoPs illumination flare test site. Permitted activities in the buffer zone include infrequent ( two to three hours per day, several days per month) control of public access, use of off highway vehicles and retrieval of errant hardware. Boat Harbor, Special Use Lease 1017 ( A6) This lease provides a private harbor for brine shrimp harvesting. The harbor also is used by Trestlewood for the salvage of the old railroad trestle. 263 |
