Federal highway funds were approved for repairs of county roads damaged during the 1983 flooding season when Sanpete County was declared a disaster. However, in order to obtain the funds, application must be approved or a waiver granted by September of this year. Funding for 1983 flooding repairs technically expires when the current fiscal year ends Sept. 30, according to Howard Latham, Utah Department of Transportation engineer. Lathams department will administer the federal funding and work with county engineers. The county will have to get the project scope and proposal in and get approval within 45 to 60 days to get the money, he stated, because the federal government closes its books in Federal funds available Latham reported, the county is working within a project range of $100,000 to $150,000. The federal money is 100 percent funding with no matches, he said, and is intended d only to restore the road to a This is no long-tercondition. program, he said.

PLEASAN- T- Stockmen who rely on the Ephraim-Orangevill- e road to reach range permits may soon have access to summer pasture. However, road repairs planned for completion in September may be too late to relieve the impacted ranchers this year. And September deadlines on federal road funds will have the county hustling. e The Road was closed during 1983-8flooding Fountain Greens Lamb Day royalty led the annual parade Saturday afternoon. Featured were Queen Karen Allred and her attendants, Jamie Cook and DeMills said. It the project is delayed, then it is expected to be completed next spring. Heavy snows at that altitude make construction any later than September un- feasible, he said. DeMille said he was contacted to inventory the flood damage and accompanied federal highway officials through the damaged areas in June. However, the road was inaccessible for the most part, and only two or three slides were inventoried at that time. About 20 slides contributed to the roads present condition. Part of the delay in repairing the road has been getting the federal inspectors to the site of the flood damage, DeMille said. The road has been inaccessible. Site examined DeMille accompanied county representatives on vehicles three or four weeks after three-wheele- d the mountain to repair roads in Manti Canyon, DeMille said. DeMille stressed that repairs will be minor, and the project should not be considered an improvement. Although a few culverts were washed out in the 1983-8flooding, culvert problems existed before the slide and only those involved with the flooding will be repaired. Sheepmen anxious Sheepmen using the range permits are anxious to have the road repaired. About 1500 sheep in the Beck Ridge graze along six miles of the impacted road from the Skyline to Thistle Flat. A year ago herders had to drive from Ephraim through Fairview or Salina to Orangeville and then go up the backway from Orangeville into their camp, a considerable distance. During the 1984 season, they were able to reach the camp from the Orangeville side. Herders had access back to town only by horseback for an entire month during the summer season. 4 the federal inspectors attempted to examine the site and was able at that time to make a detailed inThis year poor roads made ventory.
