Mitchell claims that he is being "blackballed" by the county in bidding on county projects. Recently the county requested request-ed bids for crushing to make 70,000 tons of gravel. There was only one bid on the project at $4 a ton. Mitchell picked up the bid specifications, but said he could not bid on the project. Most of the gravel will be used on oil field roads. The past couple of years Uintah County has received $3 million a year in Class B road funding, which the county claims is not enough to maintain main-tain all the roads in the oil fields south of Vernal. Senate Bill 63 was introduced to allow the county to receive some of the funding generated by severance sever-ance tax on oil and gas production produc-tion in Uintah County. The bill would have generated about $5 million for Uintah County, but it failed in committee and was never voted on. "Claims that we are receiving receiv-ing too much Class B road funding fund-ing are clouding the argument for the bill next year," said Commissioner McKee.

Feltch said that in past years as many as 30 dump trucks were used by the county in an attempt to contain flooding. Uintah County will be sending send-ing a letter to property owners to have all fences that cross the creeks removed by May 1. Most of the locations for sand deposits have been located, and the county will begin depositing sand this week. The sand bags will not be placed at the locations loca-tions until later unless requested. request-ed. Dry Fork resident Glen Meacham, suggested that more rip-rap should be placed on the north bank of the new Dry Fork Bridge to keep the water from overflowing its banks. "During the high flows of 1997, the old bridge would shake when you drove across it," he said. "If you do any work in the creek, let the county know," Abegglen said. Uintah County hopes to document docu-ment this year's high flows by videoing the entire length of the creek before high water, areas where improvements have been made and after high water. "These videos will be useful to the state and may help us with future permits," Abegglen said. "I really think the flood of the Santa Clara River in St. George really helped us in getting our permits," Abegglen said. Abegglen said there should be no problem with permits to work in the creek as long as the project didn't change the creek channel. "Any specific concerns about what can and cannot be done will be decided by local repre-' repre-' sentatives of the State Division of Water Resources," Abegglen n. |
