Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; considerable amounts of time in the area potential for disease transmission from mosquito bites would increase in direct proportion to the number of people exposed mosquito control would have to be increased resulting in an increased cost to tax payers of 15000 to 25000year 25000 year urban expansion using the land for urban expansion would have the same impacts on mosquito production and control as industrial development except that residents would have longer exposure periods than employees in an industrial area and more children would be exposed in an urban area while employees in the area would be active during on site hours residents are often relatively inactive and thus would bemore susceptible to bites enhanced wildlife habitat if the land were used for enhanced wildlife habitat it would have little impact on the total mosquito producing area in provo bay but would ideally result in a significant reduction in the numbers of mosquitoes produced enhanced marsh habitat indicates improved water management structures and practices the prime factors of mosquito control on waterfowl marshes mosquito control costs would not be significantly reduced under this use plan but quality of control would be greatly enhanced deer and horse flies agricultural development depending upon irrigation and drainage practices agricultural development could either help reduce production of deer and horse flies tabanids taban ids or add to the problem these flies are produced in shallowly flooded areas near shore lines if the bay area was adequately drained so that there was little permanently flooded areas nor water saturated soils there would be little tabanid production if low areas were left in fields where water vater could collect and remain for long periods several months at a time tabanids taban ids could be produced in large numbers in these areas tabanids Taban ids at present are produced in areas adjoining provo bay as well as in the bay itself these flies are strong fliers and could still be present in the bay area even though they are not produced there development of the bay would 386 3 86
