Glab to hear you made the meeting and I have some thoughts about the Utah recovery plan.
First off - anyone building around the lake should pay an Utah lake impact fee to offset the cost of maintaining this resource.
Second - Possible ways to reduce Carp populations -
Have a $1000 contest to come up with the best way to get rid of the carp.
I have always thought that netting them and placing them in railroad cars and dumping them in Nevada/Utah desert would be the cheapest. Of course - have the BYU student body do the netting for free. Then have some railroad bridge be the dumping ground where they could be covered by dirt or ??
Third - bring train/truck loads of sand from the Dunes or else where to different locations to sand beaches - this would have the immediate effect of attracting people to the lake. Increased usage means increase $$$ that could be used to improve the resource.
Fouth - if Lincoln Beach was to be developed I would make them use the dirt to make a large holding pond/lake that could be used to hold the June suckers. This impoundment would be a large enough to ensure their continued existence while the rest of the lake is de-carpped.
Fifth - since the lake is shallow use a eco-friendly dredge built & ran by BYU to create a dyke to hold the june sucker
The reason I keep using BYU is because they would bennifit the most by having the lake become an asset to Utah.
Sorry if all my ideas aren't win win but at least I'm trying..
