We’re Updating the Great Salt Lake Comprehensive Management Plan and Great Salt Lake Mineral Leasing Plan click here to learn more!
Need for an Updated Plan
In 2013, in collaboration with many partners and stakeholders, the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands (FFSL) updated both the Great Salt Lake Comprehensive Management Plan, Elevation Matrix, and Great Salt Lake Mineral Leasing Plan. These plans are unique in that they guide FFSL in its responsibility to manage sovereign land resources. FFSL has direct jurisdictional management responsibilities over all lands below the lake’s meander line and over Fremont Island. It is imperative that these plans are done in coordination with other agencies with jurisdictional responsibilities for these resources. These plans will ensure that the ecological health, scenic attributes, extractive industries, and recreation opportunities will be maintained now and into the future and provide lasting benefits to the public trust. Conditions on Great Salt Lake and throughout its watershed have changed considerably since 2013, as have the available data and science. As such, it is now time to update both plans.
Below are the 2013 GSL Plans that we will be updating:
