Board asks Utah Lake Authority to assign interns to midge‑fly study
Summary
A board member said the Utah Lake Authority has graduate interns and suggested one semester of intern work to gather data and craft a balanced approach to midge‑fly impacts; the ULA director reportedly noted midge flies are a beneficial species and mitigation should balance environmental and human needs.
A board member told the Redevelopment Agency that the Utah Lake Authority said it could assign graduate interns next semester to study midge flies and produce hard data and a mitigation plan. The board member said the ULA director emphasized that midge flies are a beneficial species and any mitigation should balance human needs with environmental protection.
The comment was offered as a suggestion for next steps rather than a formal action. The board member praised the idea that the Authority’s interns could provide a data-driven plan to guide future policy discussions about nuisance insect management around public water bodies.
