Various potential sites on the lake were considered. These sites were narrowed to four for in-depth comprehensive evaluation. The project team weighed the challenges, opportunities, and impacts associated with each site. The West Beach North site was chosen by the Utah Department of Natural Resources and the Utah Division of Facilities Construction and Management due to thje availability of utility connections and access points, established operations and maintenance facilities, proximity to local lodging, cost, and low comparative environmental impact. The matrix of benefits and challenges of the evaluated sites is provided below, and is available on the project website.
