The Tooele County community has been bombarded with plans for industrial and high-density projects, writes Kyle Mathews.
The Tooele County town of Erda, Jan. 28, 2020.Imagine relaxing on your deck looking northward to Antelope and Stansbury Islands, the Great Salt Lake, and cattle grazing on farmland adjacent to your property. Living the dream in rural Utah. Then, reality hits.
Since 2017, my little rural town of Erda has been bombarded with re-zones approved by Tooele County for developments of all sizes and densities, 11 to be exact. I’m not against growth, but it needs to be reasonable, and carefully thought out, with focus on existing infrastructure: country roads, sewer and water. Our options to reduce this onslaught are few: referendums and litigation. Erda recently incorporated, but cancer-like growth just keeps coming. There’s more.
The Great Salt Lake wetlands system through which the Savage Tooele rail line would cross provides vital feeding and nesting habitat for migratory birds. Those wetlands help with local water flow and filtration. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has already raised concern about this. Savage further states its train operations would not violate the Clean Air Act.
