Jenson and William G. Larson. It suggests that enforcement features of the present ordinance be to accomplish 100 percent compliance. Asking for "immediate action, Creer noted that enforcement of the law requiring operators to recontour and landscape gravel pits before leaving the sites has been haphazard. "Some operators haven't attempted to comply, the message stated It suggests that the county attorney be asked to offer recommendations which will guarantee that gravel pit sites be restored and made available for future development. I don't think any resident has escaped seeing the unsightly pits and the scars they leave on the country side, M r. Creer said. The view of this valley as you enter from the north Is marred as is the view along the southern part of Wasatch Boulevard It seems to me we have z duty, the commissioner continued, "to insist that these unsightly holes be relandscaped and made available for future development.

Highway studies, population predictions by the county planning commission and projections cf school building needs all assume that the land will eventually be used for residential or commercial development. Prompt reclamation cf the property, said one expert, would hasten the full realization of the county's potential.
