EAST SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH Volume 90 Number 13 a coPV 15 MANTI, UTAH 84642, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1975 84115 Manti Slide Not Considered Flood Threat The famous slide in Manti Canyon no longer poses a flood threat, according to State Geologist Earl Olson. Olson said that the possibility of a flood was extremely remote, taking into consideration the present action of the land mass. He said that the massive slide was forcing the stream bed up gradually and that the water would run over the top and then gradually cut its way back down through the material. Mother Nature is doing the job much better than we could have done it mechanically, he said. He pointed out that the very action that was taking place was one of the contingencies recommended by the special study committee in its recent findings. Nothing is certain, he said, and we are monitoring the slide and taking every possibility into consideration. But the chances of there being a major flood is very remote, he said. Meanwhile, it was announced last week by promoters of the proposed industrial park in Manti that they had abandoned Manti as a site and were planning to develop the park in Mt. Pleasant. It was stated that the bonding company would not issue bonds for the development in Manti due to the flood threat. Several companies were planning to build in the new park prior to the flood scare. Forest Service officials said that cleaning of the stream bed in Manti Canyon was proceeding this week. The work will involve mostly hand work in removing logs and other obstacles in the creek bed between the slide area and the debris basin at the mouth of the i, neon Purpose of the wotk is to eliminate debus from being washed down the creek during high water periods. Also continuing was woik in enlarging and cleaning out the debris basin This work is being done by National Guard and b Sanpete County personnel and equipment. One of the fruige benefits of the project is the hauling of a large amount of the fill dirt from the debris basins to the Manti City dump, where it is being used to level up the area on the west side of the dump. A great deal of work by both men and equipment has been utilized to accomplish this project and city officials hope that users of the dump will take caic to dump all rubbish over the bank so that the area can be kept in a satisfactory condition.
