Show Decision Process for Proposals on GSL DFFSL will be the keeper of the CMP and will be the formal point of contact for proposals on sovereign land. Before making formal contact with DFFSL proponents are encouraged to contact other divisions and agencies regarding how the proposal may affect them. A " new" proposal is a proposed land use that is either new for GSL or of such size that, in DFFSL's judgement, there is potential for significant adverse effects. DFFSL will determine if a proposal is a new proposal for which a presentation to the GSL Board of Directors ( Board) is required. The Board includes DNR's division directors and executive management. For land uses that are not new proposals, DFFSL will accept an application or refer the proponent to the appropriate DNR division for routine application processing. The Board will convene and hear presentations on new proposals by proponents. Since some detail of a proposal likely will not be available when a presentation is made, and because a proposal likely will not have undergone environmental review at the time a presentation is made, the Board will only approve or reject the proposal in concept. If a proposal is approved in concept, the proponent will be referred to the appropriate division which will process an application through standard procedures. If a proposal is rejected in concept, it is not necessarily the end of the line for a proposal. A proponent may still file an application and await final action by a division. In either case, the final action by a division is subject to appeal through administrative processes. The Great Salt Lake Technical Team ( GSLTT) Section 65A- 10- 8-( ll) provides that the division shall: " Retain and encourage the continued activity of the Great Salt Lake Technical Team." GSLTT members, because of their knowledge of the lake and their agencies' responsibilities and experience with lake problems and programs, provide valuable technical information that augment and enhance The Comprehensive Management Plan. This group is a forum for the interchange of information, studies, research, ideas and programs that affect the activities and natural systems of Great Salt Lake. Working as a team, the members review issues, examine alternatives and make recommendations through consensus. Each state division involved in the lake's management is asked to provide representation for the Technical Team. Each of the five counties involved with the lake is also asked to have a representative. Other interests and groups will serve by invitation as members to provide information. The activities and reports of GSLTT will be presented to the Department of Natural Resources Directors ( CMP Board of directors) after review and analysis by staff from Forestry, Fire and State Lands. The GSLTT will be self governing with staff support from the Department as requested and will be asked to convene for conduct of business at least two times per year. 257 |
