STOCKTON, Utah — It has been more than a year since the Jacob City fire burned an estimated 4,000 acres in Soldier Canyon.
"We don't have vegetation in place and when we get heavy rainstorms, it comes down slope and comes through this area at a very high, high pace, approximately 300 times faster than it normally would because of the fire," said Whitehouse."Just this last summer, we actually had three episodes of flooding again."
"We're adding some low water crossings to Copper Street on this particular area to channel the water through the area in a more efficient fashion and to also not put these homes that are right here at risk," said Whitehouse. Whitehouse says the Natural Resources Conservations Service is sponsoring about $900,000 of the total effort of the recovery and restoration side of improving the canyon after the fire.
