' Judith Southworth, who has a Tippetts Warns of Worse Flooding their own as to solutions. LYNDIA GRAHAM Review Correspondent It just doesnt LAYTON seem like it could happen in Davis County but it did, Davis Countys Commissioner Harold Tippetts told the Layton Chamber of Commerce regarding last springs floods and mudslides that destroyed 12 homes and caused millions of dollars in damages throughout the county. But the worst could be coming, according to Tippetts and the county doesnt want to get caught off guard should their worst fears materialize. Tippetts said that last springs problems were brought on by a series of events over that past several years. The beginning point seemed to be the water year of 1981-8- 2 which he said was the wettest recorded in the past 100 years. The normal freezing patterns didnt materialize, causing the mountain soil to become saturated followed by double the normal snowpack last winter,, he said. The lack of normal evaporation coupled with a long, wet spring further impacted the problem until on Memorial Day weekend, 80,000 cubic yards of mud slid down Rudd Canyon in Farmington, starting Davis Countys muddy nightmare. Flooding of runoff water is not a new problem to the area with the natural course of the mountain water running down the foothills and across the valley until it can eventually reach the lake, but the mud was a real surprise to flood control workers, Tippetts said. Water you can handle, mud you cant Tippetts said. The lack of such problems in recent times left those coping with the mud not only frustrated and fearful but somewhat on We were told we were writing the book on mud flows, Tippetts said, even though the Farmington area had experienced severe flooding and mud flows in the 1920s. Tippetts said that while the mud from that earlier disaster caused much damage, the lighter population and development of the foothill areas kept it from being as severe as it could have been. Measures were taken 50 years ago to ease mud and water related problems. In fact, Tippetts, said, a debris basin built in the 1920s and 1930s was the only thing that literally saved Lagoon, and that it would have been wiped out without the debris basin that collected some of the mud and related debris. But Tippetts said that the county could not afford to assume that the disaster of last spring might not repeat itself this year or in the future and that measures must be taken to make the county ready should it happen again, which its very possibly! next spring if a wet winter hits Utah this water year. Its a very unstable situation, he said. There is a potential for even greater damage than last year. Another 100,000 cubic yards (of mud) could come down Rudd Creek. With the flood channels and debris basins already full and damaged by the runoff and mud of this spring, damage could be drastically increased if more flooding occurs next spring, Tippetts said. But flood control is an expensive process in Davis County, partly due to the long distances that the water must often be carried before reaching a safe emptying point. Funds from the state and from the Federal Emergency Management Agency have helped but have not been enough to facilitate the needed improvements for an updated county-wid- e flood control system. But Tippetts said that the revenue from a bond election ly passed in Davis County would help to get the system masters in educational psychology and counseling and guidance, will conduct the workshop sessions.
