Thanks to a flash flood warning from National Weather Service, there was time to evacuate camping areas and prepare in other areas affected by flooding in the Dollar Ridge burn scar in Duchesne County on Saturday. While the area, including the Promised Land Resort, was hit hard, it was thankfully not as significant as the flooding from 2019.
The water flowing from the East Fork burn scar looked like a massive muddy river on Sunday after the heavy rain. The East Fork Fire started nearly a year ago on August 21st about 13 miles north of Hanna near the Upper Stillwater Reservoir in Duchesne County.
Uintah County Emergency Management encouraged preparation and provided an opportunity to assemble sandbags as storms delivered heavy rains through the end of the week and weekend in Uintah County. The neighborhood at the foot of Yellow Hill in Maeser was hit with flooding as a result of the storms.

Algae Blooms have been identified at Buckboard Marina and Firehole Beach on Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Do not swim in or come into contact with green water, floating scums or clumps. Do not ingest water from a bloom. Boiling, filters and other treatments will not make the water safe.
