City” the consultants said in a study sponsored by the Wasatch Front Regional Council Dawson was upset saying regardless of Roy’s position recommendations made in the report will says he is alarmed over a study that forecasts Ogden Municipal Airport expansion will increase the impact on “already noise-impact- noise-impacte- ed citizens of Roy” Dawson believes the airport that borders his city’s east boundaries should be closed and a new air facility built elsewhere A consultant’s report on future airport use in North and Central Utah was discussed briefly by Mick Crandall of the Wasatch Front Regional Council staff during a Weber Area Council of Governments meeting Thursday The study concludes that the Ogden airport will have the capacity to base some 500 light planes accommodate a commuter line and serve as an alternate landing site for commercial flights diverted from Salt Lake City International Extension of an existing runway by 900 feet installation of an instru- ment landing system and construction of a third 5000-forunway are presently planned for the airport “Expansion of airport capacity ot serve as a guideline for 20 years A number of Roy citizens want Ogden to relocate the airport “If it’s not feasible to move the field now” Dawson said “it will be less feasible to move in 20 years” Ogden Councilman Scott Sneddon said the city has no plans to expand the airport more than ’ needed for the field’s current use — general aviation “I know” replied Dawson “It’s going to be there regardless of the effect on Roy and there should be a limitation on the field” Crandall said the cost of building another airport by Ogden or Weber County would be prohibitive “Ogden or Weber couldn’t embrace the costs” Crandall said “Is the federal government going to say you’ll have to upgrade and put in extra runways?” North Og © den Mayor Eldon D McColley asked Crandall said no the Federal Aviation Administration is not looking for projects He also said noise and airspace traffic problems are “manageable” over the next 20 years the Ogden airport study disclosed Besides Crandall said plane engines make less noise on late models than on older ones Ogden City long has had an application for federal funds for installation of an instrument landing system and the extension of the two runways The FAA Crandall said urged the state to make regional studies of airports and assess their present and future needs Both the Wasatch Front and the Provo-base- d Council of Governments have complied with the federal request In reply to a question from Plain City Mayor Samuel S Lower Crandall said the consultants don’t see Ogden airport serving as a base for regular commercial airline traffic at least in the next 20 years Moun-tainlan- ds Davis okays bids on

sites for hydroelectric power plants may be child’s play for two corporations and a Davis County town in comparison to the problems they’ll encounter when they try to use somebody else’s water rights and dam facilities Bountiful City which has filed petitions to take over operation of two Utah Power & Light Co plants and establish two new plants at two other locations has already run into the water rights roadblock Although water districts are taking a “wait and see” stance at this point they’re keeping a close eye on the activities of Utah Hydro Corp which wants to study three sites in Weber and Morgan counties as possible power plant locations Another firm Enagenics whose president is Thomas H Clarke Jr of Washington DC has also filed an application to build a hydroelectric power plant in Weber County - Salt Lake City attorney Edwin Skeen said Thursday that his client the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District should “see what develops before filing any objection” to applications by Utah Hydro to build power plants at East Canyon Pine View and Causey reservoirs Enagenics also wants to do a study on a proposed plant at V Ufreah hydreelesfiroe plenrafs feiee reeadbllesks Causey and Bountiful City wants to build one each at East Canyon and Lost Creek reservoirs As legal counsel for the district and a veteran of more than 50 years of untangling legal knots in cases involving water rights Skeen said Utah Hydro “as far as I can tell is certainly competitive with anything that we want to do — but they’re on the outside looking in” He wasn’t aware of the Enagenics application at the time “We and the government own the water rights and the facilities They have nothing but the gleam in their eyes” Skeen observed Even if the corporation gets the okay to build the plants the attorney noted “they still are faced with the problem of dealing with the bureau (Bureau of Reclamation) and the district” Skeen explained that the corporation can’t build on somebody else’s property and take over their water rights Skeen said that Utah Hydro “as of now (is) just seeking a permit to go in and make a study of it Then when they get that completed they’ll have to proceed to acquire some kind of legal right to use the water and facilities “It’s disturbing to see ’em file these notices and talk about using our facilities They’re doing it all power plants costing about $1 million each with construction on the first to begin in early summer 1982 The corporation hopes to sell electricity to Utah Power & Light Co and other customers Skeen discussed the proposed plants at a meeting at the offices of Utah Water Resources 231 East 400 S with Keith G Jensen general manager of Weber Basin Ivan Flint engineer Dee Hansen state water engineer and deputy engineer Rex Larsen Prior to that session Jensen and Flint met briefly with Barry Hutchins of the Bountiful City Utility Department and Bountiful City Councilman Jay Bingham concerning the application to build and operate power plants at Lost Creek and East Canyon reservoirs The Weber Basin manager said his district won’t have any input since preliminary applications will involve only the city and the Feder-a- l Energy Commission Hutchins said he just wanted to keep Weber Basin “informed” about what Bountiful City is doing Skeen said Bountiful City has filed applications to take over both the Weber (power) plant in Weber Canyon and the Olmstead plant in Provo Canyon over the West” the attorney “Of course the Utah Power & added Light is bitterly contesting that JD Catten of Magna a spokes- Utah Power & Light owns the waman for the corporation said it ter rights and the facilities and hopes to build three hydroelectric everything else” he said Regulatory f x t 4 |
