Show Chapter 5 Recommendations Implementation: Implement a solution to this problem by January 1, 2001. Explanation: Some watershed property owners are not able to build on their property. As a result, they often reside in a trailer or motor home for extended periods of time. Problems may arise when they do not have adequate water or sanitation facilities. Water theft has occurred as well as water importation into the canyon. It is recommended that trailers and motor homes not be used as cabins. Salt Lake City would coordinate an inter- agency effort to devise a solution to this problem. Salt Lake County Planning, Salt Lake County Sheriff, and the Salt Lake City- County Health Department would be involved in this inter- agency effort. E. LAND USE/ MINING 1. Mining activities may impact water quality. • Recommendation: Continue to support the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining in their abandoned mine discharge monitoring. Implementation: Ongoing. Explanation: Although future large scale mining in the watershed is unlikely, many abandoned mines are located within the watershed. Some of these mines discharge various heavy metals and acids into the streams. It is the responsibility of the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining to monitor the types of heavy metals and acids and their amounts being discharged from the mines. This is important information for Salt Lake City who has the responsibility of delivering clean water to their customers. • Recommendation: Mining activities will meet watershed protection ordinances to avoid water quality impacts. Implementation: Ongoing. Page 74 |
