Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; east goshen bay goshen bay and pelican point springs previous investigators found little evidence of spring activity in any of the areas of goshen bay or western shoreline of the lake viers 196 19640 1954 40 and fuhriman 1978 observed numerous shoreline seeps in the east goshen bay area but none appeared to have significant flow brimhall et al 1976a believed that these warm springs are associated with faulting along the west side of west mountain flows have not been measured or estimated for these springs and seeps harding walked the major part of the southern end of goshen bay in september 1940 lake elevation was 9.76 976 fet feet and failed to note any evidence of inflow harding 1941 the bureau of reclamation completed an extensive shoreline mapping project during the low water period during the early 1960s but their detailed maps show no evidence of seeps or springs near shore however acoustical profiling work done by brimhall et al 1976a did indicate some inflow activity in the deeper water of the bay mundorff 1978 felt that any subsurface inflows to the goshen bay area would be the result of irrigation return flow from cultivated areas on the west side of the bay richardson 1906 p56 was the only researcher to give much mention to the pelican point grouping and even his treatment was somewhat cursory he stated that liseep seep springs are abundant from lehi to pelican point on the shoreline near water level and that there were also a few springs 23 2 3 miles beyond pelican point where their presence is marked by low marshy areas one of these later springs was used at that time to irrigate ira ila a few acres of alfalfa deepwater deep water springs during the summer of 1975 brimhall et al 1976a profiled the bottom sediments of utah lake using a sonar like device the reflection patterns from this profiler imaged the thickness distribution and character of the underlying sediments based on these profiles 38 suspected spring areas were identified many of these are depicted along with all the other spring inflow areas previously discussed in figure 2b ab 6 it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the lake floor more than 1 kilometer offshore is spiked with springs or seeps brimhall et al 1976a 2 46
