This is a load of BOVINE SCATOLOGY!!! The problem is how are they going to anchor the islands so that the wave action and soft muck bottom don't destroy them. IF you get a copy of the "Utah Lake Monograph"( if still available) you will find that Utah lake at one time was a fairly deep body of water that has silted in over time. The bottom is primarily muck except for places like Bird Island that are volcanic upshoots. You try and put pilings down or just dump rock base, the rock sinks into the muck or the pilings have to be several hundred feet long to hit any stable substrate. The muck also prevents any real dredging to occur. Look at Provo boat harbor. The channel from the inner harbor to the lake has to be dredged every 8-10 years to keep it open, other wise the muck flows from the main lake into the harbor and fills the channel. Like TD said, they are going to use other people's money, OURS, to provide NOTHING for the public. Utah Lake is Utah Lake and it will not change because someone wants it to be something else !!
