Show 3— The Herald Journal Logan Utah Sunday February for sandbags Logan residents should call Action 752-59- flooding potential Logan City Engineer Ray Hugie agrees saying residents in areas that have experienced flooding problems in the past should be especially cautious And in Hugie says that Logan means residents who live along the Logan River Cache County Central patch are available said for those wishing to take early action to divert water around their homes Sandbags or other fill material should also be used to build up low places in canal or ditch walls People living on sloping areas where two LDS Wards in those areas have already planned to fill bags and have them available just in case Nelson said other preven- tive measures property owners can take include cleaning debris from ditches The county is encouraging canal companies to do likewise he added and individuals who notice clogged waterways should notify the a sudden thaw might send sheets of water down should also be particularly wary Nelson added unin- of the should call Nelson areas The problem areas in the valley are on the Island along the Logan River in the subdivision on South Main that is at the confluence of the Logan and Blacksmith Fork rivers in Nibley where the state road crosses into Millville below Porcupine DaUh and along the Old Mendon Road according to Turnipseed ' Both the county and city provide aandbags for residents but Turnipseed said both Of these government offices have been hesitant to become involved in flooding assistance because of liability questions One of the most serious flooding problems in the state has been the overflow of the Great Salt Lake Threat 1 were largely the result of a wet cold spring with very rapid warming in the late spring At this time last year snowpack was only 14 per- cent of normal but the all melted in a short period overloading streams and rivers Turnipseed said that Dis- 752-41- 10 It is not a bad idea for areas residents in high-ris- k to have some sandbags on hand already filled for emergency situations said Hugie adding that at least Sandbags continued from page around the foundation of the home is also a good idea And residents who feel they can do little to keep their basements from flooding should not wait until the last minute to take action Nelson said but remove carpet and valuables from their basement purchase a pump and be prepared to use it when and if spring flooding comes In Logan Hugie said city crews make a regular patrol of the Logan River in the spring looking for problems that can be caused by trees falling into the river or banks caving in But most of the people living along the river know of the problem he said And if a problem is on private property there is little the city can do about it should contact residents Nelson county 00 for information on obtaining sandbags while residents of other incorporated areas can caU a local representative id the Emergency Management Program A list of those represenatives and their phone numbers appears on page 2 In an emergency situation situation around their homes and take what action they feel is necessary to lessen Residents of appropriate agency Residents can also take preventive measures by repairing cracks in basement walji or repairing other structural flaws where water might enter their homes Nelson said Removing as much snow as possible from window wells and from 35 752-30- continued from paf e 1 corporated 26 1914 snow time the most flooding problems in Cache Valley occur along the Logan and Blacksmith Fork rivers If the Bear River floods it simply spreads out in the river bottoms and swamps in the lower valley normal anowmelt Cub occurs only minimal flooding will occur in Franklin County But if the weather turns warm suddenly and it rains we'll an be in trouble" he said Franklin County Commissioners met in a special meeting this past week and ordipassed a nance according i to Wilde continued from page 1 County residents and property even after plans are made and steps taken to alleviate flooding are really at the mercy of the weather according to Wilde “If a Turnipseed said the state Board of Water Resources is studying six different sites along the Bear River three of them in Cache Valley for the construction of a dam fo help control the flow of the Bear River into the Great Salt Lake The Bear River is‘ the largest tributary of the Great Salt Lake He said the Board has been discussing building such dams for 30 years but the projects never proved feasible until the justification of Great Salt Lake flood prevention was added into the effectiveness studies The three proposed Cache Valley sites are outside Amalga at Millcreek on the Blacksmith Fork and outside
