Currently flooded is the southwest area of the Farmington Bay Bird Refuge and the West Layton and Kaysville marshes. Paul said the flooding has driven many of the wildfowl out of their nests, damaged dikes, and affected the plantlife of the areas. As for the two proposals to solve the flooding problem, Behrins is opposed to the breaching of the causeway because it would dilute the lakes minerals his company uses. Paul Sturm, geologist with the Utah Geoligical and Mineral Survey, says the south end of the lake is running about 10 per- cent dissolved solids and the north end about 20 percent. Sturm said breaching the causeway would dilute the mineral content of the north end increase. ; If the lake continues to rise, where the Great Salt Lake MinJtwo South Davis sewage treat- - eral company is located.

And a small earthquake at this time could be devastating to the entire state, Bruce Kaliser, Utah State engineering geologist, told Bountiful Area Chamber of Commerce members last Wednesday. Kaliser said that in a normal year he would investigate two or three mudslides in the state. In a wet year, he could anticipate six mudslides. But this year there have been thousands of mudslides in the state. I never thought it would be (impossible to count them, but now Im just about ready to give up.

Drug Arrests Total 23 in Investigation LAYTON Another arrest late last week has brought the total number of people arrested on drug related charges follow- ing recent investigations to at least 23, according to Layton Police Chief LaMar Chard. Some 22 people, including one juvenile, were arrested over a week ago after several months of undercover work by Layton City and the Metropolitan Narcotic Strike Force. Efforts of the undercover officer and the two departments brought about the issuing of 31 69 separate counts for distribution for value of a controlled substance, arranging for the distribution for value of a controlled substance, and possession with intent to distribute. Most of the arrests involved marijuana but six counts involved LSD and two cocaine. Several warrants are still out, some outside Laytons jurisdiction. Those arrested are: Randy D. Abner, 22, Layton; Vince A. Betts, 18, Layton; Michael J. Brewer, 22, Layton. Tommy Obermiller, 20, Lay-toSandy K. Obermiller, 22, Layton; Lyle R.

In a flood situation, a slide could come down the canyon as fast as 50 very rapidly miles per hour, Kaliser said. But when the water drops to normal levels, the slide would at 5 miles move more slowly per hour or less. When it hits structures it usually slows down and stops. When water levels drop, the slide moves slow enough that people can be warned well in advance, he said. He skid a close watch is being maintained in canyon areas in Davis County so proper warning can be given if new slides develop.
