This project will determine the need to build a pipeline with four pump stations from the Weber River to Park City. The Senate Appropriations Committee approved over $47 million for Utah water and energy projects requested by Senator Bob Bennett including $4. 1 million to expedite the clean-u- p of the Atlas tailings site in Moab. The Department of Energy is currently studying the Atlas site and possible remediation scenarios, Bennett said. I am pleased with the current progress and remain committed to help facilitate the eventual movement of these tailings. Bennett notes the DOE must complete the interim groundwater action, continue site characterization (e.g. contaminant identification and intensity and radiological surveys), perform Project to fund construction on the Diamond Fork System and continue development and plan- Mountain region.

Is you lawn dead or dormant? This may are experiencing now, says Kelly Kopp, Utah State University Extension water conservation and turf grass spe- cialist. You may be seeing brown or golden patches forming in your lawn right now. Fortunately, these grasses have the capability to recover from these extreme weather conditions. Usually when the grass appears to be dead at this time of year, it is only dormant Dormancy is the physiological process that grasses use to protect themselves from heat and drought, Kopp says. This state is characterized by a complete cessation of growth along with brown or dead grass blades. The grass blades are not as much of a concern, however, as the crown of the grass plant. strictly a 'Cash Cow1 CLEARANCE on Roofing Siding BROWN-BEI-GE closeout; SAVE 30 Expires 81702 or before al colors When you need meta- l- You need Metalmart By entering dormancy, grasses a re really protecting their crowns for future recovery, she says. Thecrownisat the soil surface and it is the point from which the grass blades grow up and the roots grow down. As long as the crown remains alive, the grass has the capability to recover once temperature and moisture conditions improve. Recognize that when heat and drought reach a certain level, there is no amount of water that ia going to coax the grass out of dormancy, Kopp explains. However, as temperatures drop and moisture increases, the grass will recover naturally. Completely giving up on grass irrigation is not recommended, she says. You may, however, cut back to a minima amount that will help keep the crowns of the grass plants alive. This amount of irrigation is known as survival watering because while it will not keep the grass from entering dormancy, it will help the grass crowns n survive and recover. For the grasses that are traditionally grown in Utah, this irrigation amount can be as little as one inch of water per month. Dormancy is a protective process that gnus plants use to survive harsh climatic conditions, Kopp says. cool-seaso- 181 S. 1200 E.
