Proposed Construction Activities in Logan Canyon, Utah
HE :
Dear Mr. 13ohn:
The utah Chaptee Sierra Club is concerned about proposed construction in Logan
Canyon, Utah. Present plans call for widening of the existing highway. We are particularly concerned with compliance under the N
ational Environmental Policy Act.
As I understand the situation your office has decicied to change Logan Canyon from
a Category I (environmentally sensitive) designation to a Category III designation; the
Category III designation means that the area is not environmentally sensitive. This
decision allows the Utah Department of Transportation to proceed with construction without the preperation of an Environmental Statement.
Under Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for compliance with NEPA an
environmental as se 'sment is regularly prepared on all federal actions. This brief review of environmenc.a.l impacts is uSed to determine i f an Environmental Irrrt-act Statemen:'
is neen~d or not needed.
The Utah Department of Transportation has stated publicly
several times that they ~ill r~t need an Environmental Statement for construction activities. However , they do not plan to release the environmental ~ ssessment until Jhe
spring of .'1980. The Sierra Club is now investigating this apparent violation of public
law. Answers to the following items will help tis in obtaining a better understanding
of the pr.)ject.
1.
{hen did your office decide to change Logan Canyon from a Category I designation to a Category III designation? How was the public involved in this
decision making process?
When was this decision announced to the public?

when they have decided an Environmental statement is not needed. even though
the environmental assessment has not been prepared?
Be.cause of the timely nature of this matter a response

HE: Road construction activities proposed for Logan Canyon.
Dear Mr. Hamre:
The Utah Chapter Sierra Club is concerned about recent events in the proposal to
widen and realign the Logan Canyon highway. The Sierra Club is interested in Forest
Service involvement in the project and would appreciate a reply to the following items:
Establishment of Lead
encies
Section 1501.5
d
of the Council _ Environ~ental Quality Regulations for
on
ing the Procedural Provision of the National Environmental Policy Act reads:
1.
ft
L~lement
Any Federal agency, or any state or local agency or private person
substantially affected by the absence of lead agency designation, may
make a written request to the potential lead agencies that a lead agency be designated."
The Sierra Club requests your office to designate a lead agency for construction
of the project. Is the Forest Service the lead agency or the Utah Department of Transportation;
2.
Project approval!aisapproval authority
Information on the Forest Service permit requirements for construction of the highway
is needed. Wbat kind of permits will your office issue for construction of the highway?
v/ill the public be involved in the decision to issue or deny the permit(s)?
Data on
how the public may be involved in the permit process is requested.
Will the issuance
of a permit require preperation of an Environmental Statement, or an Environmental Analysis
Report:
�Vern Hamre

Pa6e tiiO
3. EvalUQtion of the environmental issues
Section 1506.5 ( b) of the Council on Environmental ,. .:uality n.egula tions for Imp e:nenting the Procedural
Pro~isions
of the National Environmental Policy Act reads:
"
Environm3:1tJ.l Assessments. If an agency permits an applicant to prepare an environmental assessment, the agency, besides fulfilling the requirements of paragraphs (a) of this section, shall make its own evaluation
of the environmental issues and take responsibility for the scope and conten\:' of the environrnental Ci.ssessment. It
As I understand the present situation, the Utch Department of Transportantion has
decided that an Environmental Impact statement ~ill not be required for construction
activities in Logan Canyon; the decisio n to proceed without an Environ~ental State ~ent
included little if any p~blic involveMent; the Sierra Club is planning action to reverse
this decision.
W
hat is your office doing to evaluate the "enviroI1llental issues •••
and content of the environmental assessment'? The environmental assessment will be released by the Utah Department of Transp~ rt Ltion in the spring of 1980 ; we would l Lke to
e. couro 6 e your office to evaluate t~e environ.~ental issues at the earlie st date possible ,
ental assess~ent. The environmental ass and specifically before release of this environr.o
essment should include compliance with Executi~e Orders 11990 and _1988 , Protection of
'/io
etlands and Floodplain t-1anagement , respectively.
Any additional information which will help in understandin6 Forest Service involvement
be appreciated.

HE:
Proposed construction activities in Logan Canyon
Dear Mr. Roberts:
I he.ve recently ta.lked with Craig Rayle and others concerning the proposed road
construction activities in Logan Canyon. This area is environmentally sensitive,
and should receive the attention of public and private organizations before any decisions are made on construction of the highway.
The Sierra Club has expended considerable efforts on obtaining information on the
project; additional information is requested from your office. As I understand the
situation, the Utah Department of Transportation has decided that an Environmental Im• pact statement is Iwt necessary for construction of the highway from Right Hand Fork to
Ricks Spring. Furthermore I understand that the road alignment will be altered considerably in the Ricks Spring area, including placing the highway on the opposite side
of the River. Associated with this realignment will be the development of a Forest
Service campground and recreation facilities at Ricks Spring.
Additionally, I understand that the Forest Service is planning to construct a campgrouni L~ ~iood Camp Hollow. As you may recall the Sierra Club has urged the Forest Service to include Wood Camp Hollow in the Mount Naomi Roadless Area.
As I understand the
situation fill material from road construction in Logan Canyon will be used in the construction of the road base to the campground and construction of the campground itself.
The proposed construction of the highway will include the removal of large amounts
of rock and dirt. The disposal of this cut material is of concern to the Sierra Club.
Relative to the three paragraphs immediately above, answers to the following inquiries
is requested.
