| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; industrial development use of lands behind the proposed provo bay dike for industrial development would not change the biting gnat producing capabilities of this area biting gnat production is presently no problem in the area and should not become a problem with industrial development of the bay urban expansion urban expansion should have no impact on biting gnat production in provo bay since the gnats are generally found in sandy soils with high moisture content and usually associated with high soil salt content the soils in provo bay are not especially sandy and under urban development the salt content of the soil should not be above present levels enhanced wildlife habitat use of the land for enhanced wildlife habitat with proper water management should not result in an increase in biting gnat production in provo bay following diking with good flushing flows and stable water levels there should be little habitat suitable for biting gnat production GOSHEN BAY DIKE there are three diking alignment alternatives for goshen bay since each alternative would have the same basic consequences in relation to insect pests and vectors the impacts from diking discussed below apply to all three alternatives these basic consequences relate to water quality changes behind the goshen bay dike and the frequency and duration of flooding and drying lands behind the dike the differences between the various diking alternatives would be in the frequency of flooding and drying since the diking of goshen bay would have little or no impact on the insect pests and vectors produced within the main lake itself the following discussion deals only with the area south of the proposed DPR dike alignment if goshen bay is diked biked the area behind the dike will be divided into several eco types 1 a saltwater salt water pond or sump immediately behind the dike that will be covered with water virtually 100 years out of 100 years figure 3d ad 2 2 a saline mud flat or playa that will be covered 388 3 88 |
