Here are a couple of interesting 'Great American Outdoor Act' projects that may be of interest to folks who like to fish. For 2021, there are projects at Pineview and Causey; just 2 of the dozens in Utah alone.
The Pineview project is a Reservoir Recreation Complex Reconstruction - Phase 2. It is described as a comprehensive public/private partnership to reduce deferred maintenance at 16 developed recreation sites, trails and access and provide sustainable recreation of Pineview Reservoir. Reconstruction will focus on day-use facilities including picnic areas, parking lots, restroom facilities, water/waste water systems, trails, roads, and signage that will improve the visitor experience connecting them with the landscape and bring consistency to reservoir management. The Forest recognizes the challenge of increased use and has developed The Pineview Working Group that includes Utah Recreation Company, Weber County & Sheriff, The Trails Foundation of Northern Utah, Town of Huntsville, Utah Department of Transportation, the Utah Division of Natural Resources, Bureau of Reclamation, Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, Pineview Yacht Club, Club Rec, and private citizens. There is no mention of fixing or replacing the launch ramp at Port Ramp.
The Causey project This is a Causey Parking, Boat Ramp, and Restroom Restoration. It is described as a comprehensive public/private partnership to reduce deferred maintenance at developed recreation sites, roads and trails and provide sustainable recreation at Causey Reservoir. This project consists of constructing a concrete boat ramp, aggregate parking, and vault toilet installation. The construction of the parking area will include earthwork, aggregate compaction, final site grading, and the installation of barrier rocks, and signs. The project will improve the visitor experience and bring consistency to reservoir management. The Forest recognizes the challenge of increased use and has developed a stakeholders group that has completed a plan and design of facilities around the reservoir. Partners include Weber County, Weber Sheriff, and Utah Division of Natural Resources, and the Federal Highway Administration.
While these are both listed as 2021 projects, there are no timelines mentioned in the listing.
