South Shore Preserve Federal Land Transfer
Draft Environmental Assessment
We are proposing to transfer federal ownership of 784 acres and associated water shares in the Great Salt Lake South Shore Preserve to the National Audubon Society. For the past quarter century, Audubon has been managing the properties as part of the Preserve, which is located along the south shore of the Great Salt Lake, west of Salt Lake International Airport and east of I-80. The deed transferring ownership would require Audubon to continue managing the properties as part of the Preserve. We have prepared a draft Environmental Assessment describing the project and anticipated impacts on the human environment, as required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. We invite your review and comment, which can be sent to Richard Mingo at rmingo@usbr.gov by October 13, 2023.
