Native son E.O.Larson guided the Federal Reclamation, Reclama-tion, Utah's largest Reclamation, Reclama-tion, the Provo River Project, when insurmountable obstacles had all but bogged down. He was construction engineer for Deer Creek Dam. Unlike many other public works projects, proj-ects, the money loaned by Uncle Sam for the construction of reclamation projects was lOtfi repayable under the Reclamation Law. In March, 1942, ground was first broken at the Genevaplant site, and less than two years later the first trial run of plates was made. The Geneva steel plant has been described as an engineer's dream. It is one of the most modern steel plants in the world. One of its features is a huge reversible electric motor which drives the rolls in the plate mill. This motor is the largest of its kind ever built by the General Electric Company and cost over $1,000,000. After the Water Supply Advisory Board was appointed, it made extensive investigations which it reported under the headings of "local sources" and "outside sources," the latter including the proposed Deer creek reservoir and the Echo reservoir which (Echo) was already under construction. While the matter was still largely talk another draught year (1931) arrived. Utah lake reached an all-time low and public interest was once more aroused. Something had to be done and quickly so the city bought flowing well rights for large sums of money. These were helpful in the emergency sidered supplemental sources. The Deer creek division contemplated con-templated the construction of a dam with a capacity of 150,000 acre feet, on the Provo river and the storage there of flood waters of the Duchesne and Weber rivers. The estimated cost of the Deer creek dam was $7,600,000, all to be advanced by the federal government and to be repaid in 40 equal installments install-ments without interest. Because Be-cause of the recent very serious water shortage the people were ready to act favorably on any plan that would prevent future recurrences and on Aug. 15, 1935, the voters of Salt Lake City gave consent to the proposal to create a Metropolitan Water district to make possible participation parti-cipation in the Provo river project. proj-ect. They decided that it was high time to get away from the hit and miss policies of the past and launch an orderly water development program. The Deer creek dam is the third largest earth-fill dam built by the bureau of reclamation recla-mation and will store 150,000 acre feet of water. It was completed in the autumn of 1941 and was of inestimable importance in supplying the war emergency industries. Without this source of water the Geneva Steel plant could never have been established.
