The famous and endangered June Sucker just killed my future livelihood...

Just found out today about the Provo River Delta Restoration project that the Utah Reclamation Mitigation and Conservation Commission, the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, and the U.S. Department of Interior-Central Utah Project Completion Act Office are spearheading.

The are going to take away my farm. This is like the Bundy Ranch case but worse because I've never missed a tax payment and it's privately owned property.

My life is basically over. Nice knowing you guys.

Are they at least buying it from you at a fair value?

No "Fair Value" in this case. Was priceless- Like trying to put a value on kids

Except I'm fairly certain they will pay you and not just 'take' it.

Nothing like having someone buy something you didn't want to sell

Point is, it's really nothing like Bundy.

JamesDean

It's worse than the Bundy case, I'm a law-abiding citizen.

Do you have an income from the property?

First harvest coming this year

Lol. I know. I would too. But from all the projects I've participated in that

JamesDean

Yeah, they'll pay whatever the appraisal comes in at but I don't think

They should have relocation to offer you where they give you equal land elsewher

Mister P

They are trying to be very accommodative to the landowners who are losing

Land in Bejamin/Genola is not a fair swap. Those towns are holes.

I don't have much relocation experience, but if they are taking your land

Mister P

4/16/14 6:39pm

That's the big kicker. You have to move. Disrupts your whole family and life.

More evidence that no one really "owns" anything anymore.

Exactly!! Forgot to mention that the new diverted river and tributary streams

MightyFreakingCougar

That doesn't seem right.

Seems like a colossal waste of time and effort

There are a lot of people that care about the June Sucker.

I doubt they would survive and reproduce here either. Burbot are the real concer

4/16/14 7:50pm

I have been excited about this project since I learned about it a few years ago.

4/16/14 7:04pm

Is the plan really to restore the provo river delta to what it once was?

dccoug

That is the plan, yes.

I can't wait for that day. Seriously. If they can do it, it will be amazing.

Most Environmentalists Aren't As Happy About It ...
