Presenter says Utah Lake's carp advisory has been lifted after decades of cleanup

A presenter announced that the long-standing health advisory against eating carp from Utah Lake — in place since 2005 — "was just officially lifted," attributing the initial advisory to PCBs from the old Geneva Steel plant.

The presenter said the advisory dated to 2005 because "PCBs are stored in the sediment" and that carp, as bottom feeders, "absorb whatever is in the sediment," arguing that finding clean carp indicates improved sediment and water quality around the lake.

The presenter also stated that "30,000,000 pounds of carp have been removed from the lake," calling that removal a major factor in taking "decades worth of pollution out with them" and saying Utah Lake is "the healthiest it's been in generations." Those numerical and evaluative claims were made on-camera by the presenter and are reported here as assertions from the clip; the presenter did not cite documents or identify which agency issued or lifted the advisory, and the figure and health assessment were not independently verified in the transcript.

The presenter acknowledged personal hesitancy about eating carp despite the advisory being lifted, saying "carp are gross" and "I still don't wanna eat carp." The clip ends with the presenter asking listeners to react to the milestone.

No formal agency name, report, or date was provided in the statement; it is not specified in the transcript which public health or environmental authority issued or lifted the advisory or which entity verified the water-quality claims.
