Lake Level

We saw a slight bump in June.  but now evaporation has taken hold and we are going down rapidly.  Our likely low in November will probably be 4193.4  This would be a net 1/2 foot loss for the year.  Not good news.  But expected.

 

 

Dredging  On July 15th we were able to get the Lucin down here for blowing the mouth of the marina out.  We had great success and were able to remove all the silt and get back to the clay hardpan.  At a level of 4195.2 we have about 5.9 feet minimum in the mouth now.

 

Get your boats registered.  Get your stickers on.  The Rangers will be making a dock walk this month.  They will be writing citations.  Remember, it doesn't matter if you have registered your boat but your stickers are sitting on your kitchen counter.  The Rangers want me to remind you that it is still a violation called "Failure to Display"

 

 

Fire Update and the Future of Unsecured Dry Storage  We will be rebuilding the maintenance building.  We recently traveled to Southern Utah to look at a building down there that was recently constructed.  The building will suit our needs well and the state is going to replicate that one.

 

The location of the building will change though.  Right now, the plans are to locate it on-site where the current Unsecured Dry Storage is now.  And then relocated Unsecured Dry Storage over to where the old maintenance building was.  This would mean that all trailers and boats would have to be relocated to the new spot this summer to make way for construction.

 

For those that do not want to relocate to the old spot do have the choice of locating into Secured Storage.

 

The reason for this decision is that it might actually be cheaper to locate the building on-site.

 

I will keep you posted on thi matter but please be prepared to have your boats and trailers relocated. 

 

 

I have not been happy how I have been doing the photos on this site.  It is very time consuming to download and space is limited.  But we now have a new link on the main menu of this web site for photos.  Check it out.

 

 

 

We are seeing a rash of dock lines breaking again.  On our most recent dock inventory we saw several lines that are chafed and ready to fail.  Now that spring is on its way and we are more likely to see an active storm pattern I would recommend coming out and visiting your boat.  Bring some new dock lines when you do.

 

Starting January 1st, 2010, if you rent a slip from the Great Salt Lake State Marina, you WILL be required to have liability insurance.  A notice will be sent out in your Slip Renewal Package explaining the need to provide proof of this insurance.

 

 

 

Daylight Savings Time starts our new hours.  Beginning March 21st we will close the park at sunset rather than 5pm.  For those of you with boats you will not be affected.  If you have the key or the gate code you will still be able to get in after hours.

 

Because of the loss of one employee and the remaining employees being stretched thinner,  we will not be able to always man to marina office.  We will endeavor to always have park coverage. And we will try to keep the office manned during the weekends.  And we will do our best during the weekdays.  But bear with us during these lean times.

 

Our plan is to at least have the office manned from 9am to 11am each day and from 9am to 4pm on weekends.  But we are being pulled to other locations to meet our obligations.
