Show Salt Lake City Watershed Management Plan ' 99 Implementation: The ordinance will be re- addressed by June 1, 2000. Explanation: The number of people abusing the dog permit ordinance in Little Cottonwood Canyon is not as large of a problem as it is in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Nevertheless, Salt Lake City will be re- addressing the ordinance for both canyons. The abuses that are occurring need to stop to prevent water quality impacts. This plan recommends several options to incorporate into the new permit system. First, the permit colors may be changed from year to year. Also, only residents with permits may be allowed to have a dog. Permits will not be transferable. Certified avalanche dogs may have separate permits. Violations of the new permit system will be dealt with using the " three strikes"' rule. If a dog permit holder is cited for three violations, their permit will be revoked and their dog will be prohibited from entering the canyon. Other elements of a new dog permit system will be considered as the ordinance is revised. 3. Road management. • Recommendation: Encourage UDOT to manage the road surface with special attention paid to water quality. Implementation: Draft a Memorandum of Understanding between Salt Lake City and Utah Department of Transportation by January 1, 2000. 4. Back country permits. • Recommendation: Study the merits of developing an overnight, back country use permit system for the lake basins. Implementation: Implement an overnight, back country use permit system upon determining the feasibility of the system by Salt Lake City and the Forest Service. Page 101 |
