The BYU professor says Lake Restoration Solutions is abusing the justice system to intimidate him into silence.

has alleged the outspoken critic of the project to build islands for future residential development is spreading disinformation in an “illegal” campaign to turn the public against the plan.

Abbott is a professor of ecology at Brigham Young University, where he has devoted much of his research to Utah Lake, the West’s third-largest freshwater lake. He and many other scientists have raised serious concerns about LRS’s plan to scoop up a billion cubic yards of lake bed in what they see as a real estate deal dressed up as phony restoration. The company is proposing to spend $6.4 billion on the project and would assume title to some of the land created.

“We intend to prove our case in a court of law,” Benson wrote, “while Mr. Abbott seems intent on creating a public spectacle to promote his own personal agenda.” “They say, ‘we’ve got a team of consultants,’ but they haven’t shown us. They haven’t given us any names,” Krogue said. “More importantly, they keep saying, ‘Look, we’ve got science to back up our project,’ but they haven’t done anything to show that to the public.”
