Park City and five other cities in the county coun-ty received grants from the county's revenue-sharing funds. The county had a budget of $100,000 for revenue-sharing to be divided among the cities. Requests from the six towns totaled $176,225. Cities applied in April for specific capital improvements projects. The projects would also be funded by money from the particular city. According to General Services Director Stan Strebel, the county grants followed recommendations made in a meeting of the mayors of the six cities. With a few exceptions, the mayors allocated $14,000 for each city. Park City asked for $35,000 as a county contribution to a project to build a bandstand in City Park. The total cost of the project is $120,000. Henefer requested $20,000 from the county for a bridge replacement and received that amount. The mayors felt the bridge deserved that funding, said Strebel, since it is a health and safety issue. The bridge project also will receive $10,000 from Henefer city and $300,000 in state money. Coalville also received an exceptional excep-tional amount, $24,000, for three projectschip pro-jectschip and seal work on Main Street, resurfacing of 100 East, and a concession in the city park. However, the city had requested a county contribution of $58,725. Strebel said the mayors felt the Coalville funding was worthwhile because it is the only city where the main thoroughfares do not include state-maintained roads. Other cities requested the following: follow-ing: Oakley asked for a $15,000 county coun-ty contribution for park lighting and renovation of an old chapel building. Kamas requested a $25,000 contribution con-tribution for a sprinkler system and playground equipment in its park. Francis requested a $22,500 contribution con-tribution for a sprinkler system, concession con-cession and restroom in its park. Geologist questions safety of Jordanelle Dam site After 24 years of drilling and testing, the proposed Jordanelle Dam is just two years away from construction. But according to geologist Leon Hansen, the site is unsafe un-safe and poses threats of flooding Park City mines and overtopping, which could cause the dam to burst. Last Friday, Hansen met with board members of the Bureau of Reclamation and the Central Utah Project for an on-site inspection. CUP is overseeing the building of a series of dams, including the Jordanelle. Jor-danelle. Amid heated words, padlocked gates and disagreement about the time the press was actually invited, Hansen hammered home the points he has been trying to make for years. Since late 1979, Hansen has been warning officials about the dangers of creating a dam in the proposed Jordanelle region, he said. He claims he has repeatedly stated the possible environmental hazards in closed door sessions with officials as well. Hansen is well acquainted with land formations and what they represent. For more than three years, he served as a consultant to the Jordanelle Task Force, which advised the Bureau of Reclamation on behalf of area mining companies on what subsurface rock formations held. Claiming there had been a cover-Hp cover-Hp of a drill hole that proved his contention con-tention there are major fissures and faults under the surface of the proposed pro-posed dam area, Hansen asked board members to view the site of drill hole 109. The test hole, one of about 150 that have been dug during testing, was made last August. It showed an open hole about 300 feet below the surface, Hansen said. Gary Dow, chief geologist for the project, admitted crews had probed more than 350 feet without reaching either water or the bottom. He said the hole was most likely an old mine working and pointed to a map that showed workings from the old Mayflower mine were in the same area. Hansen challenged the map Dow had produced, saying it was inaccurate. inac-curate. He pointed out he had made available his extensive documentation documenta-tion of 100 years of workings over 1,000 underground miles. Those findings fin-dings show the closest mine workings work-ings are 800 to 1,000 feet from the drill hole. Apparently, that argument is typical of the disageements Hansen has had with various members of the Central Utah Project, a water project pro-ject that, once completed, will cost more than $1 billion. Board members claim Hansen's information is inaccurate and that more up-to-date studies and testing show the proposed dam area is safe. Hansen continues to protest that the subsurface of the dam area is weak volcanic rock, not dissimilar to the base of the Teton dam that collapsed col-lapsed in July 1979. He claims cavatation was largely responsible for the collapse, a problem he says is a greater danger here with the large number of open fissures he says run underneath the dam area. Dow says fissures that have been inactive for more than 30 million years pose no problem for the dam. He said a grouting technique will be used to fill cement into the weak areas of the bedrock of the dam. Hansen says it is that very technique techni-que that helped cause the collapse of the Teton dam. This winter, the Bureau of Reclamation will begin the highway relocation program that will reroute Highway 40 around the proposed dam area. In two years, the digging of the dam is scheduled to begin. Unless Hansen can convince officials of-ficials the area is unsafe, the Jordanelle Jor-danelle Dam is just a few years away from reality. Volunteers to control county wildland fires The Summit County Wildland Fire District is looking for a few good people. According to Doug Page, area fire warden, the district is recruiting volunteers for a county-wide "strike , team" to control wildland fires. He said the team would be divided into four squads: North Summit, Park City, South Summit and Bear River. "There is no limit to the number of personnel on a squad," Page said. "However, probably no more than three individuals will be called out at a time. Individuals will be paid when called out at the rate of $6 per hour. "Strike team members may be members of the respective fire departments, but this is not a requirement." re-quirement." Page said the county will provide protective clothing (except boots) . "Team members may , make themselves available for. federal For Norn on the move. . . aerobics wear shoes warm-up suits accessories See you at. . . 649-9484 Main Street Mall Top of Historic Main Street fires and fires outside of Summit County," he said. "For federal fires a red card will be required, and the rate of pay will be determined by the federal scale." s He said those who would like to join the strike team must: Attend a two-part training session at one of the following fire departments: depart-ments: Kamas, May 15 and 21, 6 to 10 p.m. ; Park City, May 19 and 20, 6 to 10 p.m.; Coalville, May 22 and 23, 6 to 10 p.m. Be on call for wildland fires. Be at least 21 years old. However, Page added that the training sessions will be open to all interested parties, whether or not they intend to join the strike team.
