I LEGEND m Grove Discusses Manila Future, Bond Improvements PI. By MARCELLA WALKER PLEASANT GROVE Subdivision problems. Manila annexation, and city vehicle maintenance were discussed by Pleasant Grove City Council this wee Blue Martin and Paul Hess, representatives from Utah Mortgage Co.. discussed the status of the Wade Springs Subdivision and related improvements. They asked what the city will require in the way of bonds now to get the improvements installed. They noted that the developer is taking the matter to the Utah Supreme Court. Lee Wimmer, city engineer, noted that revised bonds figures have been - prepared. Council agreed to an inspection by the community development director and the city engineer to .determine the amount needed for the bond on the on-sit- e subdivision Garden Village Subdivision representatives were present to discuss problems of the development. The city engineer recommended piping the ditch and the developers asked if this ditch could be left open. Council discussed the maintenance problem and hazard to children. The developers indicated that they see no problem with the ditch as it is located on the back lot line of the commercial area. mm fAapleton Woman Hurt Council still felt the ditch should be piped. imBecause of the costs involved in the provements, possible reimbursement alternatives were discussed. David Draper asked if the city would consider a plan to issue revenue anticipation bonds e for these improvements. The city would not be obligated for the bond and interest payments. Council agreed to pursue this possible funding alternative and asked that more information be provided to the city on the matter. Frank Santos, developer of Noble Estates and Devereaux Estates, was present to request approval of Noble Estates Plat D.

Here, Reed Olsen, public information specialist with the bureau points to the area on the map where the Jordanelle Dam and Reservoir will be located in Wasatch County. Jordanelle Plans Proceed Core By ROD COLLETT The impoundment of water behind the already proposed Jordanelle Reservoir in Wasatch County is not expected to hamper mining operations of existing or abandoned shafts, says the head of the Central Utah Project. In a recent meeting with the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, Kirt Carpenter, project head of the CUP, told the board of directors that once the dam i: huilt and water is backed up, the situation would not seriously affect the already flooded conditions of many shafts in the United Park City Mining District. The Noranda Corporation, which took over United Park Mines, is currently undergoing discussions with the Bureau of Reclamation on developing a suitable drilling program which will determine the integrity of the reservoir. The holdings are about 2V2 miles east of the proposed dam site. According to theraft environmental statement which the Department of the Interior has issued, the foundation of the Jordanelle Reservoir would rest on igneous rock capable of supporting the weight of the dam. "The rock mass is highly fractured, but contains few, if any, open fractures and thus forms a tightly knit unit. Adequate seepage control . would be achieved through such methods as grouting a cutoff trench to and into bedrock, wide embankments and drains, the report stated. Mr. Carpenter said there are critics of the dam who feel that it would be unwise to build such a structure (dam) over geologic faults. "It is not a new concept to build a dam on a fault but what we really need to determine is what the recent activity of that fault is," he said. "When the conditions have been qualified and we feel the feasibility of building the dam is warranted we will proceed," he indicated. The draft statement also pointed out that evidence has indicated that some seismic activity has occurred following the filling of large reservoirs when local faults were present. "No seismic activity would be expected to occur from or be induced by this reservoir," the statement said. The Jordanelle Reservoir will be a major and key portion of the Bonneville Unit's Municipal and Industrial System which is designed to bring water from the reservoir through a series of aqueducts to Salt Lake County and northern Utah Coungy. Engineers for the Bureau of samples directly above the sedimentary rock dates back to approximately 30 million years. This particular time period is filled with a volcanic history that is evident over many square miles in that region. Thus the geologic history of the Jordanelle dam site is filled with an elaborate history of over d earth actions, plus years of glacial and stream eorsion. According to BOR officials, the hardness of the rock at the damsite and its ability to withstand erosion has created the narrow gorge suitable for the placement of the Jordanelle Dam. Although all indications point to a lack of any major geologic activity in that area, mine officials have told bureau officials that they are still seeking more technical data on what a cross section of drilling will produce in the future. With no major construction activity expected on the Jordanelle site until 1984, thousands of gallons of water are presently being pumped out of mine shafts. Noranda workers are now pumping 3,000 gallons per minute from the 2400 foot level of the Ontario Shaft 6. "There are four big pumps going at the present time and it is anticipated that once mining operations get underway, the increase in the amount of water being pumped could be increased by a factor of five," Mr. Carpenter said. "The last thing we want to do is to impact their operations to the extent that they cannot mine their holdings," he said. "We feel that with from both parties, we have developed a very viable drilling program," he said. BOR officials have indicated the Jordanelle Reservoir could be one of the best and major recreation areas in the west. One of the greatest concerns to Wasatch County officials is that with only 7,500 people in the county now. the addition of a new reservoir could create massive problems with an added influx of people for tourist reasons and those seeking a permanent status as citizens. With the attraction of Deer Creek and Strawberry Reservoirs, plus other attractions such as Wasatch Mountain State Park, the Uinta National Forest, the Homestead and the Heber Creeper, the population of the county often swells to 20,000 people on a busy weekend during the summer tourist seasons. With a majority of Utah's population living along the Wasatch Front, between Ogden and Nephi, Wasatch County has long been considered a "green belt," particularly between the population centers of Provo and Salt Lake City. Though the completion of the Jordanelle Reservoir may open a new playground for many Utahns and the present problems of just getting the project off the ground are still complex and numerous. deep-seate- Reclamation originally selected the damsite itself in an upper reach of the Provo River about six miles north of Heber City because of the safety and economy of the natural "narrows" or tapering which affords a closure of about 400 feet high and 1,000 feet wide at the flood plain. According to bureau officials, the narrows would require a minimum of fill material and the rock abutments around the base of the structure would create a solid foundation for the dam. Travelers to that portion of Wasatch County can see the location of the dam Safer Than Dobbin or the narrows near a point where U.S. y 40 crosses the Provo River. Back in 1909 when Last winter, a drilling team began travel reached an peak, there working to obtain core samples down were 30 fatalities for each 100 million miles. Today, with more several hundred feet to determine the horse-travkind of earth materials which the dam, than 96 million motor vehicles driving spillway, outlet works, and power plant 967 billion miles a year, there are and other major features of the project slightly more than five fatalities for each 100 million vehicle miles. would have as support.

The National Weather Service says a weather system will move through the area this weekend, resulting in periods of rain in the valleys with from one to three inches of snow about 7,000 feet in the mountains. Precipitation from the storm will most likely begin late Saturday afternoon or evening with most of the wet weather in the northern portion of the state.

Council agreed to a proposal by Mayor Haynie that city employees begin keeping a maintenance log on city vehicles which they use on the job. The mayor suggested that the logs be checked regularly by department heads and by councilmen. Council hoped that this new procedure will eliminate some malfunctions which occur because of low oil, low transmission fluid, etc. Councilman Frank Mills noted that the police department is already using a check system which is quite successful.

Mayor W. Cornell Haynie reported to council members that the city had received a restraining order to halt annexation action of Manila area. He expressed his opinion that the Cedar Hills protest of Pleasant Grove's annexation of Manila amounted to harassment. He said Pleasant Grove should have been able to annex to 8800 North without a protest.
