McGarvey said that mud and dirt are being moved out to the street and city crews are working to pick it up and haul it away. According to the city managers office, neighbors can ask for some of the dirt for their gardens but the city will be using most of it for fill dirt to rebuild roads and property damaged by the floods. People are discouraged from picking up loads of the dirt and mud for their own use. Even though reports have been issued warning people to keep children out of the diversion streams because of contamination, the soil in the water coming from the mountains is not harmful, according to McGarvey. The water is only harmful if it gets inside an open wound because of the soil bacteria, which can cause a tetanus. Soil bacteria is in all water which has dirt in it.

The board used a study by the transportation advisory committee, which was chaired by Dr. Richard Butler (see box) to decide which students will be bused. Butler used a point system which took in consideration sidewalks, crossings, obstacles and other conditions. The higher the number the greater the relative risk. The study was revised after a group of parents, requested a review of the study. It was the revised chart which the board used in deciding who would be bused next year. The Davis FARMINGTON County School Board has approved the busing of approximately 1,220 students who live along hazardous routes next school yeaf. This is nearly 1,000 fewer than the total bused last year.. The busing of those students will cost $60,000 which will come from the general transportation fund. Last year the school district bused nearly 2,100 students at a cost of $121,125. But this year the board is expecting a much tighter budget due to a cutback of state funds. The hazardous busing policy is used in areas where students are not covered by state submiles from sidized busing, 1 school, and must walk along a .

Were not inspecting homes, we just give advice on how to clean for pathogenic organisms. We could possibly take all day on just one home, and we dont have the manpower. Most people who call, he said, are anxious over how they can make their homes safe, and are satisfied with the advice they get. There is no magic formula, just hard work. The first thing to do is to physically remove all dirt and mud so that the floors and walls are cleaned to sight. Chlorine bleach should be then applied throughout to get rid of odor and germs. One way to tell if there is any mud between the walls is if there is any bulging. In that case, walls and panels would have to be removed and re . Board members made 580 points as the breakoff point. Those students who live along routes which are less than 580 points in the study will have to walk or find some other transportation. In recommending the break- off. point, Board President Sheryl Allen said parents will have to pick up the slack. I realize that there is a philosophy, which is picking up steam, that parents should be responsible. Butler estimated that it would cost the district as much as $155,000 to transport all 2,679 students on the hazard list.
