McClure, chairman of the Model Cities Joint Board of Commissioners, discussed the recent $2.5 million application sent to the federal government seeking federal matching funds for the development of the the Big Cottonwood area. John Call and Associates, the engineering firm that conducted a two year parkway and flood control study of the Jordan, states that tributary pollution on the Jordan said that Big Cottonwood development plans call for the cleaning of the Big Cottonwood Creek as it enters the Jordan River.- This smaller project conforms with that study of the river and identified as in water pollution found in the Jordan.

Long range planning, he continued, is helping us to see the sore conditions for what they are and to actually and effectively take the required action. The natural resources found in the area, those that are enjoyed by the millions of residents and tourists, have become particular points of controversy, said McClure.
