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

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.

Crane Day / Dredging
by Dave Shearer 14 Mar '16

14 Mar '16

I'm feeling more confident on dredging now. I still do not know a date as we have not heard "Officially" form the Army Corp of Engineers. But the lake has been coming up fast and I feel confident for those boats with a draft of 4.5 feet or less that we can get you back in the water. If you have a draft of 4.5 feet or less and have a trailer and want to go back in on the March 30 crane day please email me and I will add you to the list. I hope to have more specific dredging news soon but I feel fairly confident that dredging will be happening sooner than later now.

Crane Day / Dredging
by Dave Shearer 07 Mar '16

07 Mar '16

I am thinking of doing another crane day soon after the March 30 crane day when we free up trailers. The focus of the second crane day would be for those that do not have trailers. But I need to see what interest there may be. Please let me know if you are interested. Also there may be some forward movement on the dredging issue. I am guardedly optimistic right now. I hope to have a bit more information in the next day or two. Dave Dave Shearer Harbor Master Great Salt Lake State Marina Antelope Island State Marina 801-209-9142

Water / Cruise
by Harbormaster 02 Mar '16

02 Mar '16

First of all, unfortunately there is no new dredging news. Hopefully I will have something in the next day or two. But on a good note, the lake is rising fast. Four foot drafts can now access the lake. So if you want to get your boat (four foot draft or less) back in the water please let me know ASAP so I can get you on the crane list. I am focusing on boats with trailers first so we have some trailers to utilize for those that don't. But if you do not have a trailer and are interested in getting in please let me know and I will see what we can work out. I met with Dave Ghizzone (our cruise boat concessionaire) last night. They are doing their first cruise this Saturday. This is a big deal for him and us. For him it means he can finally get out again and start generating revenue. For us it means that the lake is rising and we may be able to salvage a sailing year out this season. NOAA is still predicting a wetter-than-normal spring and summer for us and I have just looked at the charts. The dreaded high pressure that has kept storms out of Utah for the last month is finally weakening and there are several storms lined up in the Pacific. This could help our snowpack. In talking to Ghizzone last night I heard that they still have some empty seats for Saturday night's sunset cruise. If you haven't been on the lake in some time this may be a great opportunity to get out on the water, have an incredible dinner and watch a wonderful sunset on the lake. I don't know how much the cruise/dinner is. But if you are interested give them a call. 801-989-7281 One last note. Many of you have begun to work on your boats in preparation for this season. Most of you have been fantastic about cleaning up every day when working on your boats. But we have been finding some debris such as sandpaper, chemical containers and plastic around the boats. Also we have had some people trip on extension cords when leaving the office building. Please make sure everything is cleaned up every day and that extension cords and other tools are not tripping hazards or obstruction to traffic. Pray for rain and mountain snow. But no more valley snow. I'm tired of plowing Dave
