Utah HB0489 amends water infrastructure regulations, focusing on the Great Salt Lake basin.

Utah HB0489 amends Utah's water infrastructure regulations by defining key terms such as "detention basin" and "low impact development." It limits the use of retention basins within the Great Salt Lake basin and imposes design standards on detention basins in that area. The bill also mandates that permittees prioritize low impact development practices over retention basins unless no feasible alternative exists. Additionally, it makes technical and conforming changes to the Utah Pollutant Discharge Elimination System.
