Show eliminate access to the lake as a competitive factor in the brine shrimp industry and to encourage its members to work together on harbor construction in order to concentrate development and confine impacts from harbor construction to a few strategic locations. 10.3 Establish policy regarding unauthorized construction below meander line for the development of harbors, ramps or other structures. The proposed action deals with more than construction by potentially linking penalties for violations of one DNR agency's statutes and rules to the full range of permits and licenses issued by all DNR agencies. This will further enhance DNR law enforcement on the lake. Rather than each division separately imposing sanctions for violations, all permits and licenses issued by DNR agencies may be subject to suspension, termination or other action. 11.1 Allow grazing on sovereign lands to the extent that it is consistent with public trust responsibilities. The majority of sovereign land grazing potential on the lake is on lands within the 39 townships specified in Section 23- 21- 5. Several existing permits allow cancellation, after notice, if DWR decides grazing is having an unacceptable adverse effect on nesting habitat or other wildlife value. All permits contain a provision allowing for cancellation if the land is committed to a higher and better use. Since DWR is better prepared to determine impacts to wildlife values and has a greater on- the- ground presence than DFFSL, it makes sense to transfer administration of grazing permits to DWR. 12.1 Designate roads, causeways and utility corridors. Use of existing corridors for transportation and utilities will minimize impacts because there will be no new ground disturbance. The two railroad causeways provide east- west corridors and are important transportation links. A utility, railroad and highway " corridor" already exists east of the lake. The Davis County Causeway provides access to AISP. The AISP southern causeway is not supported because it traverses private property and important south shore wildlife habitat. As discussed in the Antelope Island Resource Management Plan the causeway would result in access management problems for the park. 13.1 Identify the meander line on the ground for law enforcement purposes. This reflects the current law enforcement approach, with addition of linking DNR- issued permits ( Issue 10.3) and using orthophoto mapping technology to identify the meander line. The orthophoto maps will be a useful guide to the general location of meander for law enforcement purposes, but it is likely that actual surveys will be needed on a case- by- case basis when serious disputes arise regarding the meander location. 14.1 Improve search and rescue access and operations. All search and rescue efforts are the responsibility of county sheriffs' offices. Due to the location of AISP and GSL State Marina facilities and the availability of DPR resources, the majority of search and rescue efforts will involve DPR. The five counties around the lake have an Operational Preplan for GSL rescues. Utility of the boat ramp at Little Valley Harbor is limited by water depth. Improvements would 243 |
