 Questions and Answers Regarding Wasatch Front Population of Columbia Spotted Frog and the 12-Month Finding   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Wasatch Front population occurs in isolated springs or riparian wetlands in Juab, Sanpete, Summit, Utah, and Wasatch counties.
Although most of the human activities that contributed to these threats still occur to some extent throughout the Wasatch Front, there is no longer the same level of impacts on the spotted frog that resulted in past wide-spread habitat destruction and the loss of spotted frog populations.
Therefore, the Wasatch Front population of Columbia spotted frog is "not warranted" for listing under the ESA at this time.

Within 10 years, we could have a system that would put 90 percent of the residents of the Wasatch Front within one mile of a light rail, streetcar, bus rapid transit or commuter rail station, and within walking distance of a bus stop.
The county refuses to mirror other Wasatch Front counties and impose an additional 1/4-cent sales tax for mass transit, dedicating all tax dollars for roads, and excluding buses and trains (again jeopardizing federal support).
In response to this intransigence, Davis County Sen. Dan Eastman is sponsoring legislation forcing Utah County to assess the appropriate sales tax or lose its ability to participate in the Wasatch Front transit system.
