DREDGING UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

We finally have some significant movement! We heard from Army Corp of Engineers today. They have agreed that our disposal site will not require a permit. This is significant and will allow us to finally move forward on the dredging very soon. We do have some details we must finish with Army Corp with regard to the alignment of the pipe. Please understand that we still need to build the containment site, put the project out to bid, award the project to the successful bidder, sign contracts. Then the contractor will need to mobilize before dredging actually starts. So we are still a few months out. But at least we are no longer sitting in a holding pattern. On another note, we had a very successful crane day yesterday. We were able to finally put the first 22 boats back into the marina. And we did it in record time. THANK YOU TO ALL THE VOLUNTEERS WHO SACRIFICED THEIR TIME TO MAKE THIS GO SAFELY AND QUICKLY. Now that I feel confident that we will not have to pull boats next fall I am ready to schedule another crane day sometime in April. I still want to focus on the shallower draft boats though (boats with drafts of 4.7' or less). But we now have loaner trailers. Also we have a limited amount of slips as we can only use the back basin until dredging is moving forward. If you would like to put your boat back in sometime in April let me know so I can get a date scheduled. Gephardt Daily was out here yesterday to cover putting boats back in the water. Here is the link to the story if you want to see it. http://gephardtdaily.com/local/video-boats-take-flight-great-salt-lake-marin a/ Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

CRANE DAY
by Dave Shearer 28 Mar '16

28 Mar '16

For those who are wondering if Crane Day is still on for this Wednesday, YES. We may have a bit of rain and snow. But the wind will cooperate. And that is all that is important. Let's start getting boats back in. If you want to crane your boat in but are not on the list let me know today. We will not add any more boats to the crane list after 5pm today. If you are on the crane list but your boat is not here yet, please bring it out either today or tomorrow if possible. We are trying something new to try to speed crane day up and keep costs down for everyone.

DREDGING - CRANE DAY UPDATE
by Dave Shearer 17 Mar '16

17 Mar '16

Not a lot to report on dredging yet other than to say that Army Corp of Engineers has the official request and plans for dredging. We do not have a formal decision from them but, from the last meeting our engineers had with Army Corp, it looks fairly good they will sign off on the plans. Let hope all goes well and quick with this stage. If it does dredging will not be that far off. I will keep you posted. I have several people without trailers stating they would like to get back in on the March 30 crane day. I think I may be able to accommodate people with Catalina 25's or Catalina 27's (or very similar). But I need to know how much interest there is for those types of boats. Please let me know ASAP if you are interested. If I can get enough boats than it may pay to hire another crane and get some more of you back in the water. We will have limited capacity in the south basin so let me know ASAP. I will keep you posted on dredging Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

ACTION ALET - 2016 Legislature Wrap Up
by Janet Robins 16 Mar '16

16 Mar '16

Please read the email below – what is needed now is letters to Governor Herbert asking him to Veto SB80 Janet Robins The Safety Consortium 400 W. Lawndale Dr. Salt Lake City, UT 84115 Phone: 801-746-2462 Fax: 801-803-6266 From: Utah Rivers Council [mailto:info=utahrivers.org@mail144.suw14.mcdlv.net] On Behalf Of Utah Rivers Council Sent: Wednesday, March 16, 2016 12:52 PM To: Janet Robins <janet(a)thesafetyconsortium.com> Subject: 2016 Legislature Wrap Up [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/3e86be07a004e70a601c3568a/images/9885e72d-4fb…]<http://utahrivers.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3e86be07a004e70a601c35…> Legislative Wrap Up The 2016 Legislative Session has finally come to a close. This year’s 45-day session of fighting against bad bills and pushing for sustainable water policy will go down as one of the toughest legislatures ever for the URC. We want to give a huge thank you to everyone who helped our fight by contacting their legislators, attending hearings and lobbying at the capitol. Here are some of the highlights (and lowlights) of the 2016 Legislative Session: Senate Bill 80 – After fighting against the bill for 44 days, SB80 passed the Legislature by just 5 votes in the Senate, 11 votes in the House, and by just 1 vote in House Committee. SB 80 will take sales tax money away from transportation and funnel it into an account set up to fund the Lake Powell Pipeline and Bear River Development. The bill will generate over $165 million for the projects by 2023. With the Lake Powell Pipeline Draft Environmental Impact Statement due out as soon as this fall, we need all the help we can get to keep this nightmare from becoming a reality. You can also help by telling Governor Herbert<http://utahrivers.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3e86be07a004e70a601c35…> to veto SB 80! [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/3e86be07a004e70a601c3568a/images/741a1c54-84c…] House Bill 82 – This bill, which would reduce property tax collections by water suppliers that encourage water waste, failed to even make it to a committee hearing. After years of advocating to remove these wasteful taxes, it is disappointing to see the legislature refuse to even talk about the issue. Senate Bill 251 – A response to the many criticisms of SB 80, recommendations of the legislative Audit, and the recent economic analysis of the Lake Powell Pipeline, this bill sets criteria the water districts proposing to build Lake Powell Pipeline and Bear River Development must meet before receiving any money generated by SB80. The bill requires a repayment plan for any loans out of the fund, steps up conservation requirements, and establishes more oversight of the State Water Development Commission. House Bill 305 – HB 305 requires water suppliers to hire a certified staff member to verify the accuracy of their water data. This bill is one of the responses to the legislative Audit from May of 2015 initiated by the URC which found the state’s water supply and demand data was hugely inaccurate. Senate Concurrent Resolution 1 – SCR1, a resolution encouraging water suppliers with unmetered secondary water to install meters passed the House and Senate with just 3 dissenting votes. SCR 1 is a good step forward because secondary water users are some of the most wasteful water users since most of them have no way of knowing how much water they use. Senate Bill 28 – SB 28, which requires water suppliers in Utah to implement inclining water rate structures, also passed both houses. Inclining rate structures charge wasteful water users more for their use and reward conscientious water users with lower water rates, promoting free-market water conservation. RainHarvest is back for 2016 [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/3e86be07a004e70a601c3568a/images/90b621a2-68b… the legislative session finally behind us, the URC is gearing up for the second year of our hugely popular RainHarvest program.
