Show Salt Lake City Watershed Management Plan ' 99 2. There is a lack of inspectors to monitor all development issues. • Recommendation: Increase funding and inter- agency coordination efforts. Implementation: Secure funding and develop inter- agency agreements to hire new inspectors to monitor watershed development concerns by January 1, 2001. Explanation: There are not enough inspectors to adequately monitor and track development projects in the canyons. Inspectors are needed to monitor water contracts and enforce seasonal usage regulations. Many commercial enterprises receive water on a seasonal basis due to their contract. In addition to water violations, inspectors would monitor new construction projects to ensure they comply with current watershed regulations. • Recommendation: Increase inspection and enforcement of " bed and breakfasts" to ensure they comply with water and sewer regulations. Implementation: Work with Salt Lake County to increase inspections by January 1, 2001. Work with Salt Lake County to increase inspections by January 1, 2001. • Recommendation: A new ordinance will be implemented that precludes residential development if the landowner does not connect to the sewer line. Implementation: A formal recommendation will be made to Salt Lake County to amend their Sensitive Lands Protection Regulations by June 1, 2000. Explanation: To avoid further watershed impacts from new housing developments, Salt Lake City recommends that all new houses be required to connect to the sewer line in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. The sewage holding vaults that are currently used by many homes often leak and cause negative watershed impacts. This ordinance aims at preventing future watershed impacts from sewage containment systems or septic tanks. • Recommendation: Devise a solution to the problem of long term camping on private lands.
