Now, some residents will never forget the 80,000 cubic yards of mud and debris that came cascading down, burying or virtually destroying a dozen homes. shouldnt work a hardship on any developer. The construc- tion season is winding down. The new ordinance should be ready for adoption within a month. 1 Some say that situation could harbor 100,000 cubic yards of the same sort of material next spring, depending on what sort of water year and other weather conditions such as frost occur, he said.

Corrective measures after that flood are what saved Lagoon, this round, he added. Through this springs flood, the spirit of volunteerism that unified thousands in a common fight against disaster meant filling over 500,000 sandbags in Davis County alone, the commissioner noted.
