BACKGROUND
VTRE Development LLC (Project Proponent) proposes constructing an industrial development consisting of four warehouses, access roads, parking, and utilities for the West Valley City
Beagley Road Industrial Development (Proposed Project). This 41-acre site is located at 5902 West Beagley Road in West Valley City, Utah, adjacent to the Mountain View Corridor and Beagley
Road. The Project Proponent asserts that the industrial development will foster job market growth and address the needs of West Valley City's development. Construction of the four industrial
warehouses totaling 606,000 square feet, parking, docking, and vehicle access to the warehouses to connect to all site access points from Beagley Road will permanently impact 4.05 acres
of Waters of the United States (WOTUS) located on the property. The Proposed Project requires the realignment of Riter Canal, which bisects the property flowing from the east to the
west. Approximately 2,035 linear feet (0.94 ac) of Riter Canal and 657 linear feet (0.12 ac) of flood channel on the north side of the property will be filled as a result of the Proposed
Project. Additionally, the Proposed Project will involve filling approximately 1.95 acres of saline wet meadow, 0.24 acres of playa, 0.74 acres of phragmites fringe wetlands, and 0.15
