WE WANT YOUR INPUT!

In summer 2018, Pole Creek and Bald Mountain wildfires caused extensive watershed damage to mountainous terrains in southern Utah County, resulting in flooding and hazards to public safety and natural and built resources relative to storm run-off from burn scars.

Utah County and local municipalities have received federal funding through the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service’s (NRCS) Emergency Watershed Protection program to design and construct mitigation measures to address these threats.

Here is the type of feedback we are looking for:

  • What questions or comments do you have about the area related to the fire (please note it in the comment box)?
  • Where improvements are needed?
  • What locations are you concerned about and why?

Design Open Houses

The NRCS, in coordination with project sponsor, Utah County, and co-sponsors: cities of Elk Ridge, Payson, Santaquin, Spanish Fork and Woodland Hills held public open houses to provide information about the proposed project work.


We appreciate the attendance from the public and all the great feedback. If you missed the open house you are welcome to still contribute comments on the map below. In addition, materials presented at the open houses are available below:
