(Salt Lake City, UT) — A proposal to dredge Utah Lake and form small islands from its contents is being called unconstitutional and not legally sound. The director of the state’s Forestry, Fire and State Lands department made that claim yesterday while speaking to Utah lawmakers. After consulting with the Attorney General’s Office, the department has determined that there are substantial legal issues that present a risk to the state of Utah. The director told lawmakers that it’s not in the state’s best interest to pursue the proposal any further.
