I, the undersigned, oppose the Lower Duchesne Wetland Project due to the negative impacts it would have on the health, economy, and cultural heritage of nearby communities. The project will create a breeding ground for disease-bearing mosquitoes in Duchesne and Uintah counties, render scarce farmland useless, endanger burial grounds, and dramatically reduce the quality of life. The development of wetlands should be located far from densely populated areas, and take into account community and expert input.

I started this because I was worried about our farmland and burial grounds, but hearing from all of you has shown me that this is a much deeper concern for our entire community. I am currently reaching out to local representatives to ensure our collective message reaches them directly. Please know that this momentum belongs entirely to the people who took the time to speak up.

I am truly stunned by the level of support this has gathered and I never imagined so many people felt this strongly about our land. This momentum belongs entirely to you because I am just one person who felt like something needed to be said.

keep the wetlands away from our residential areas. pretty sure there are plenty of spots in the desert where nobody lives.

The mosquitos in this valley are already unbearable in the summer. We do not need a swamp right next to our homes.

You guys didnt even ask the people who actually live here before planning this. My backyard shouldn't be a breeding ground for pests.
