Great Salt Lake Amendments

HB 1001 amends Utah's Great Salt Lake management rules to update how the state handles infrastructure like berms at the UP causeway breach. It requires the Division of Natural Resources to adjust the adaptive management berm to maintain Gilbert Bay's salinity within target ranges, specifically raising it if the lake level drops to 4,190 feet or lower. The bill mandates the division to consult with the Great Salt Lake commissioner before modifying the berm and to create a plan to lower it within 18 months after raising it. This directly affects the Division of Natural Resources and its coordination with the Great Salt Lake commissioner in managing the lake's ecosystem and infrastructure.
