Show diversion and use of lake and tributary waters. The Division of Water Resources ( DWRe) conducts studies, investigations and plans for water use, and operates the West Desert Pumping Project ( WDPP). DNR divisions also regulate mineral extraction activities, conduct hydrologic research and identify and map geologic hazards around the lake. In order to more specifically articulate DNR's management objectives for the resources of GSL, and to reconcile the diverse mandates of the divisions of DNR, the Great Salt Lake Planning Project was initiated. The purposes of the Great Salt Lake Planning Project are: ( 1) To establish unifying DNR management objectives and policies for GSL trust resources, ( 2) To coordinate the management, planning and research activities of DNR divisions on GSL, ( 3) To improve coordination among DNR divisions, establish a decision- making proposal review and appeal process, develop a sovereign land management plan for the lake that balances multiple- use and sustainability, resolves issues and improves management of the lake and its resources, ( 4) To develop a sovereign lands and resources management plan, and ( 5) To establish processes for plan implementation, monitoring, evaluation and amendment. 2 |
