Perry/Willard Wastewater Treatment Plant Proposes Discharge into Great Salt Lake Mudflat Wetlands PDF Print E-mail

The Perry/Willard Wastewater Treatment Plant has applied for a UPDES permit. They intend to discharge biosolids and stormwater discharge into the Great Salt Lake Mudflat Wetlands. This particular area of the lake, known as the Willard Spur, is valuable bird habitat and a rich, productive ecosystem. The proposed discharge poses an imminent threat to the Spur, as it will flush the area with nutrients from wastewater and pollutants from stormwater. FoGSL has submitted written comments.

 

 Read FoGSL's official comments on the UPDES permit application.
Read the  Petition for Rule Change (led by Utah Waterfowl Association) to change the water classification of Willard Bay and urge the nomination of Willard Bay as an Outstanding National Resource Water.
