Show The recommendation to convey fresher flow to the north arm of the lake, either by a canal from the east side of the lake or by a canal from the Bear River, has been investigated by DWRe in the past and found to be much more expensive than other possible solutions to the present salinity problem and much more disruptive to the overall salinity and exchange throughout the lake. The southern causeway fill to AISP is considered in the alternatives. Whether or not the causeway serves as a transportation route, the effect of the causeway on biology and salinity will be considered in subsequent management actions. The preferred alternative does not support the AISP southern causeway fill. DPR does not support development of a south causeway to AISP as an alternate public access. However, the division will continue to access the southern corridor to provide emergency access to AISP in the event of wildfires, search and rescue activities or for other similar contingencies. Access must also be maintained for existing structures owned by FAA. The division does not oppose development of potential recreational activities ( e. g., bicycle or foot trails, etc.) along the corridor. Nor does it oppose the associated development of interpretation/ education activities. Again, the type of recreational activity allowed on the causeway must be in harmony with the recommendations put forth in the GSL plan and future planning processes. This would require coordination with private landowners. The preferred alternative does not call for any new routes across the lake. Salinity- related impacts of transportation developments will be taken into account. 13.0 LAW ENFORCEMENT 13.1 Identify the meander line for law enforcement purposes The public supported the preferred alternative to identify the meander line on the ground for law enforcement purposes. Some respondents were concerned about possible constraints to navigation or problems related to flooding if markers were utilized to identify the meander line. Marking the meander line will cause grief to landowners and people trespassing where private property exists below meander. General land status maps are not intended to display up- to- date land ownership. County records and agency files must be used for this purpose. Nonetheless, Map 1 has been revised to show private ownership below meander. Whatever graphic systems ( e. g. maps and GPS coordinates) are used to identify the meander line, private ownership below meander will be shown. In very few instances on- the- ground markers may be necessary. 326 |
