The Utah Lake Restoration Project is designed to provide a comprehensive restoration and enhancement plan for Utah Lake.
As the second driest and the fastest growing state in the country, Utah is now in a two-decades-long mega drought and could desperately use the 30 billion gallons of additional annual water supply the project would provide. That is just one of many benefits that dredging and deepening the lake will provide.
Lake Restoration Solutions has worked for years to assemble the plan, the expert team of scientists, researchers and engineers, and the funding to achieve what many thought impossible.
As news outlets have reported, Lake Restoration Solutions has filed a defamation lawsuit against an individual who has made false claims including that the project team does not include Ph.D. scientists and that it is funded by shady foreign money. These false claims are simply not true.
In recent days, irresponsible opinions have come forward in this newspaper and elsewhere accusing LRS of filing a so-called SLAPP suit — strategic lawsuit against public participation. Again, this is simply not true, as the legal process will prove. Lake Restoration Solutions welcomes thorough, science-based scrutiny of the project, but spreading misinformation just to prejudice the process is out of bounds.
