The Forest Service PositionOp The Logan Canyon Highway
The Forest Service is deeply concerned with the protection of the tmportant
resources and uses in Logan Canyon.
Logan Canyon
i~
well recognized as one of the
choice recreation attractions in the Intermountain West.
It is widely known and
many people enjoy the fishing, cgmping, picnicking, and scenic -beauty of this
colorful area.
Many years ago Logan Canyon was accepted as a highway route between Logan
and Garden City--a
di~tance
of some 40 miles.
The original route through the
canyon was built prior to establishment · of the national forest.
Recognition of
the need for a better highway led to Forest Service approval of plans for the
State to construct the highway that now exists between the two points.
t~e pr~ry
Much of
road system throughout the national forests represents stmilarly
,
successful cooperative efforts between the Forest Servic·e and State and local
agencies.
Present and projected traffic indicates the need for reconstructing the road
to higher standards.
Trends in traffic, however, are paralleled by trends in use
and enjoyment of the canyon's recreational assets.
New highway construction in
this ltmited area poses serious conflict with the stregm, streamside vegetation,
and recreational values.
In 1959 approval to reconstruct the 4.2-mile section above Logan was granted
by the Forest Service with the realization that tpere would be same
on other public values in the canyon.

The section now completed is a very fine,
However, the impact on the resource values has been great.

section.
Wide clearing for the right-of-way has eliminated much vegetation that
contributed to scenic values and to sdil ;s tabilization along the river.
The river
�channel is practically a canal in same places, and fish habitat value has deteriorated.
The new highway, on the other hand, affords the traveler a better view
of the canyon walls.
The State Department of Highways' request for a per.mit to build the second
4.2-mile section of the new highway is of great concern to many interested people
and to the Forest Service because particularly
serio~s
~pacts
are involved.
Accordingly, Forest Service Administrators met last March out on-the-ground with
-
-
repres.entatives of the State Department of .Highways, the State Fish and Game
Department and the Bureau of Public Roads.
During this field review specific
measures to avoid the impact on the stream and streamside vegetation in a number
of places were discussed.
Again in June, . the groups represented at the March meeting and a representative of Utah State University met in Logan.

water bypass; and reducing streambank changes on channel encroachments throughout
the project by approximately 4560 feet.
The redesign, however, did not include
the additional measures discussed in the March field meeting which we believe are
reasonable considering ·the long-ter.m public benefits involved.
These measures
would cost an additional $126,925 and would el~inate several severe adverse
effects on the stream channel and bordering vegetation.
The Forest Service has made clear that the measures in question do not provide
for complete protection of the stream channel and recreation values in the critical
4.2-mile section of the highway under consideration.

A review of the situation

i nt erest of constructing a good highway at reasonable cost.

There will still be
These are among the
~pacts
which
A general engineering review of the cost 'of fully protecting
the 8,400 feet of streamside vegetation and avoiding the .ne:ed for the 900 feet of
new channel could, conservatively, raise the estimated construction cost by an
additional $325,000.
That portion of the highway route upstream from the 4.2-miles under cons i derat i on to approximately' Ricks Spring will also be difficult to coordinate with other
resources and uses.
This portion will likewise be expensive to copstruct.
The
route fram Ricks Spring to Garden City is in terrain that lends itself to easier
location, less conflict with resource values and lower construction costs.
The
present proposed new const.r uction and that portion on to Ricks Spring is the most
difficult part of the route to coordinate.
To do an acceptable job of coordi nation
in the best public interest will necessitate higher costs.
The additional cost of
$126,925 for the 4.2-mile section presently under consideration does not seem
excessive when considered as a portion of the 40-mile route from Logan to Garden
City.
The expenditure of these additional funds will help in preserving the i nherent
natural and near-natural aquatic environment of Logan River.
The Forest Service feels that the expenditure of these monies will

�streamside vegetation.
In another location a 10-foot setback would save valuable
streambank vegetation and
el~inate
an additional 385 feet of channel encroachment.
The vegetation which exists along this total of 1,595 feet of streambank provides
much needed overstory stream cover and shade; it provides terrestrial insects and
other organisms to the water for trout food; it also provides streambank stabilization, and roots and branches that extend into the stream provide protective
cover and resting areas.
A recent fish habitat survey of this very popular and heavily-used fishing
stream by Forest Service technicians shows there are a
numb~r
of good pools and
numerous smaller pools formed by boulders, rock outcroppings, and streambank
vegetation within the proposed road construction areas.
Any encroachment on the
stream channel, removal of streamside vegetation or increased gradient resulting
in higher water velocity will cause shifts in streambed materials and adversely
affect the natural channel and the desirable pools that are now presento
Dr. C. J. D. Brown, a nationally recognized
~uthority
on trout streams,
made a very detailed study of Logan River in 1935 while a biologist with the
Uo So Bureau of Fisheries.
He reported that, "Probably the most undesirab le
physical condition existihgin the main Logan River from the point of view of
fisheries is the almost complete absence of good pools.
The Logan River has but ·
one or two good pools per mile, while the Blacksmiths Fork stream has 40 to 500
As already mentioned, the absence is a natural result of a steep gradient

Dr. Brown also said, "Shade and cover in the Logan River
In many of the sections, it is very dense and affords an
excellent hideout for fish.
Those plants along the banks and the brushfalls in
the water should be carefully guarded."
We believe ' this' appraisal reflects present

The need, therefore, to protect as many as
possible of the pools that are present, both large and small, is essential to
-
maintaining suitable conditions for trout whether they are produced in the stream
itself or are hatchery reared.
In addition to the prevention of dwmage to the stream habitat for its
fisheries value, there is much public interest in preserving the natural
setting and aesthetics of this beautiful stream and canyon.
To do this will
require all feasible measures to maintain to the extent possible the natural
stream channel with its pools and riffles and native stream-bordering vegetation.
The concern of the Forest Service on this matter is shared by others.

The
the need to program
and finance resource protection in highway construction projects is an example.
That this will add to per mile construction costs is undeniable.
We believe the
costs entailed to accomplish this are both reasonable and justifiable.
Our decisions in matters of this kind must be based on the concept of
multiple use and sustained yield.
The authority for this goes back to the
Organic Act of June 4, 1897, and to the Multiple Use and Sustained Yield legislation enacted June 12, 1960.
The latter, Public Law 86-517, directs that
tangible as well as intangible values must be weighed and considered in management of national forest lands.
It is mandatory that Forest Service administrators
coordinate uses on these lands, exercising their best judgment in authorizing any
single use so that coordination is effected to the fullest practicable extent in
the best interest of all the American people.

�National forest administrators share everyone's interest in the construction
of a good highway at reasonable cost.
At the same
t~e,
the Forest Service is
charged with a major responsibility for coordinating highway construct.i on on'
national forest lands with other
~portant
values.
A highway in Logan Canyon
designed with obvious consideration for the locality's outstanding roadside and
stream values will be an endUring source of satisfaction.

~~.
Dear Mr. LeFevre,
tie have reviewed and evaluated your more recent alternative proposals
for Section 3 of the Logan Canyon Highway as requested by GarY Lindley.
Our evaluation is contained in the attached report.
TIle report was prepared by a team and is for your use in preparation
of your Environmental Analysis Report. This report describes those
c9nstraints whicl1 are necessary to protect the Scenic, Recreation, and
Fisheries values which are so important to Logan Canyon and are con':" sidered the minimum necessary to meet the direction provided byotlr 1971
Environmental Analysis .Report.
TIle negative effects of the 120 30' degree of curvature alignment are
too severe and are considered unacceptable.
is described in the attached evaluation.
Our recommended alignment
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this, we would be
happy to meet with you.
Sincerely,

�Logan Canyon Highwa y 1/
Evaluation of Section 3
October 15-18~ 1979
Logan Canyon is one of the major scenic routes in the state and this requires an extra effort to maintain and/or enhance the scenic values that
now exist in the canyon.
Integration with the order of the macro-enviro"nment is very important in the overall location of the high\Va y~ but its
effect on the public is by no means immediate or obvious. The public,
however, is directly aware of embankments, bridges, planting and a multitude of other design details that the road-user can see from t" e \o:indmv
h
of the car. The following list will aid in achievement of the goal to
provide for a safe travel way and yet protect the macro-environment.
1.
"2.
The landscape design should be an integral part of the highway
design and not an after thought to hide construction scars
with cosmetic treatment.
The AASHO Policy on Geometric Design states that "a uniform
slope through a cut or fill section often results in a formalar stilted appearance. This can be softened by flattening
the slopes on the ends where cut or fill is light ' ""and gradually steepening it toward the controlling maximum slope on
the heavier portion of the cut or fill." Complex variation "
of cross-sections suggested it is difficult to "achieve, if
one works merely with cross-sections. For any refined sculpturing of the land masses~ plans with horizontal contours
have to be used.
3.
The relationship between speed and focusing distance, angle
of vision and amount of foreground detail is important in the
driver's ability to enjoy the scenic values of the canyon.
As a general rule tithe slower one travels the more can be seen:" "
4.
The existing rock features in the canyon are of utmost importance. Every effort should be taken to avoid such features
however, when rock out crops are encountered, they should be
blasted in such a way as to appear natural.
S.
Special structures may be required to satisfy environmental
engineering and aesthetic constraints. As the project progresses special designs for bridges, retaining walls and sidehill structures to meet these needs must be developed.
The Evaluation Team consisted of:
John Nielsen - Forest Engineer
Neil Hunsaker - Forest Planner
Jim Elsea - Hydrologist
Jim Cole - Wildlife Biologist
Mark Shruv - Fisheries Biologist
Clark Ostergaard - Landscape Architect

Th~s
evaluation was limited to Section 3 as described above because of
insufficient resource data from Station 865 to Ricks Springs to conduct
a meaningful evaluatinn. It is not our intent that the project should
end at this point station 865, but to indicate that any evaluation and
agreement on that segment of the project will be delayed until the
follo\ving information is furnished.
A.
Soils data \"hich indicated erosion hazard, fertility or ability
to be revegetated, and mass stability.
B.
Geologic data from core drilling along the proposed route to
determine structure, distance to bedrock, angle of repose, etc.
c.
A proposed Toad profile.
D.
A plan view of the estimated location of top of cut slope~
and toe of fill slopes in relation to the proposed centerline.
from Right Hand Fork (Sta. 605) to Curve at the Through , Cut
above the Dugway at Twin Bridges (Sta. 860).
This evaluation was conducted \vithout adquate information about the
structural details for the retainer walls, jersey barriers, curb and
gutter, culvert energy dissipators, etc. These should be furnished .
as soon as possible. To save time we have based our evaluation on
an estimation of what they will look like. When the details are received we \vill review them to insure our evaluation is still valid.
To conduct an evaluation of this nature it was necessary to establish
certain criteria. These are listed below and any deviation from them
will require a reevaluation.
�3
1.
A two lane road with the following cross sectional configuration would be used from Station 610 to Station 835.
51' MA'XAMIUM
,~' MITX.
24'
15' MAX~
2.
A three lane road may be necessary on the up hill grade between
the Twin Bridges. This would be accomplished by adding an 11'
climbing lane to the above cross sectional configuration~
3.
Removal of vegetation would be limited to the construction
area. The construction area limits would be 5 feet above
the top of a cut slope and the toe of fill slopes.
4.
The principle purpose for retainer walls is to keep road
fill out of the riparian vegetation and the stream, and
only in rare cases is it necessary to keep the river away
from the road fill. The construction techniques which have
the minimum impact on riparian vegetation ,nIl be used.
If no other comments are made concerning curb and gutter and
retainer walls, they should be considered acceptable. .
I
�4
5.
The Special and Functional Considera tion and Recomr.lenda tion
contained in the 1971 Environmental An a lysis report are still
required.
6.
Top ·soil will be stockpiled for respreading over cut and fill
slopes and other disturbed areas.
This evaluation compared three road alignments which will be
referred to as 18°, 14° and 12°30' alignments. These degrees
refer to the maximum degree of curvature used in each of the
three alignments.
1.
The 18° alignment reflects a design speed of 30 m.p~h.
and is shown on sheet 5 through 11 of plans F-021-1(4.)
at a scale of 1" = 100'.
2.
14° alignment reflects a design speed of 35 m.p.h. · and
is sho"tffi as the office revision on the same plans as
the 18° alignment.
3.
The 12 0 30' alignment reflects a 35 m.p.h. design speed
and is sho"tffi on plans F-021-1 (4) at a scale of 111 = 200'.
This alignment was also shown on the 1" = lOOt scale plans
in red pencil and located on the ground with yellow flagging.
Station 605 to 625 - All 3 alignments are the same and are satisfactory.
Curve #30 is 12° and #31 is 10°. Special revegetation, slope shaping and landscape measure '''ill be required on the cut bank associated with curve #30 to mitigate visual impacts.
Station 625-630 - T\"o curves are preferred. They are Off. Rev.
1132 (14°) and Off. Rev. 1133 (14.°) with coordinate points as
shown on the plans. The 12°30' alignment near Station #630
severely encroaches on the stream bank. The two 14° curves
keep the road further away from the creek.
Station 630-637 - The 18 0 alignment would result in somewhat less
visual impact than the 14° rir 12°30'. The difference in effects
on the visual resource is not deemed significant and, therefore,
the curve data for Off. Rev. #34(14°) is acceptable. The cut
bank o~ the inside of this curve will require special revegetation,
slope shaping and landscaping measures.
�5
Station 637-641 - All 3 alignments are the same and are acceptable.
Fisherm parking should be designed and constructed in the wide
an
spot between the road and the river.
Station 641-648 - Curve #35 should be the 12° curve to avoid impacts
on the stream ~vhich would be associated wi th the 9° curve.
Station 648-656 - This tangent should go to the Off. Rev. #36 coordinate point (N512,321.925;El,016,652.124) at Sta. P.i.654 and
use the 14° curve. Fisherman parking should be developed bet,.,een the road and the river a t Station 649. The spring near
the hill at Sta. 651 should be protected in its natural condition. The 18° curve is preferred here but the 14° curve is
acceptable. The 12°30' curve creates unacceptable impacts on .
the visual resource. The ex isting China Row Picnic area east
of the ro ad may have to be abandoned because it will be too
small for use.
Station 656-662 - The impacts of the 12°30' alignment on the . river are
too severe. Use a 14° curve with coordinate point N512,803.924,
E1,017,206.904. This will help reduce the impact on \~ood Camp.
A turn around loop will have to be designed and constructed in .
the north end of Wood Camp because of the elimination of part of
the Campground road.
Station 662-672 - Use .12° curve with coordinate point N513,771.978,
E1,017,277,993. reasons are same as Station 656-662.
Station 672-680 - Centerline to be as dictated by next curve coordinate
point • .
Station 680-685 - Use 12° curve at coordinate point N514,000.429,E1,
018,713.259.
Station 685-689 - Use 14° curve at coordinate point N514,329.967,E1,
019,035.966. This is necessary to avoid impacts on the visual
resource and protect the Rock Feature.
Station 689-706 - The reverse curve aiignment should be used to
reduce impacts on the river and on the mountain, which would be
caused by the other alignments. Using this will necessitate the
reevaluation of the amount of retainer wall needed. Curve data for
this section is shown in the chart below.

Station 706-716 - Use tangent coordinate points N5l5,532.192,E1,021,
086.164 and a 9° or 10° curve. This will result in the least
impact on the river and may require less re tainer 'vall. The
impact on the hill at Station 716 with the 12°30' alignment is
too severe and will cause visual degradation • .
Station 716-724 - The 10° curve with either set of tangent coordinate
points is satisfactory.
Station 724-730 - The alignment as established by the coordinate points
is good . . The hill on the cut side is rock ledge with stable soils
Use rock rip rap instead of retainer wall on the river side of the
road. tv~ere soil pockets exist in the cut, they should be sloped
back and revegetated or retainer wall of log cribbing or rock dry
wall construction used.
Station 730-737 - Use 5°30' curve with either coordinate point shown
on the plans.
Station 737-743
Curve data for #48 or Off. Rev. #46 is . acceptable.
Station 743-748
The inside slopes of this curve are stable ledgerock
and gravel soils. Relocate P.1. points #49 and Off. Rev. #47
or use a flatter curve which will relocate the center 'line approximately 20' west of the 14° or 18° alignment.
The reason for this
is to protect the riparian habitat.
Station 748-757 - The 12°30' curve would cause excessive impact on the
river. The P.I. should be relocated 15' to 30' north along the
tangent line leading to coordinate point #50 and then use a 14°
curve. This change should allow the curve to fallon about the
same location- as the 18° curve and reduce the impact on the river.
It should also reduce the amount of retaining structure. The
retaining structure should be of Rock Rip Rap and not a concrete
wall. Retaining wall should be used on the north edge of the
road below Logan cave·. The waterfall feature should be designed
to enhance the fall rather than hide it.
Station 757-775 - Develop parking at Station 761 and provide safe highway crossing to Logan Cave. At Station 768 use the 14° curve at
coordinate point If519,422.325,El,024,005.507.
Use a through cut.
The access to the summer home at Station 773 is to be maintained.
Some fisherman parking should be developed on the old road bed.
Station 775-780 - Use 50 curve and P.I. point described for Off. Rev.
curve 1151.
Station 780-785 - Use 14° curve and P.I. coordinate data for Off. Rev.
curve #52.
�7
Station 785-792 - Use 14° curve and coordinate point for Off. Rev.
curve tl53.
St.ation 792-800 - Use 14° curve and coordinate point N521,589.423,
El,025,811.651. The abandoned road should be developed as
fisherman parking and as a waste disposal area with the appropriate Landscape Design and treatment. The 12°30' alignment is
a much greater impact on the visual resource.
Station 800-807 - Use 14° curve and P.I. coordinate point N522,483, 530,
El,025,765.054. Remove the old concrete which is presently being
used for Rip Rap. A retainer wall will be needed on this curve.
It should be placed at the existing water's edge.
Station 807-815
Use curve and coordinate point from Off. Rev. #56.
Station 815-825 - Use Off. Rev. li57 ,.,hich is a 9° curve and coordinate
point N523,184.736,E1,027,495.885. The old road between the
creek and the road is to be passable to vehicles ,.,hen construction
is complete. Use retainer walls as appropriate to ~ccomplish.
Station 825-835 - Use 14° curve and P.I. at coordinate point N522,946,
908,El,028,185.936. The 12°30' alignment causes a severe impact
on the cut side.
Station 838-847 - Avoid cutting into the hillside along this section.
The hillsides are unstable and seepages can be expected in the
cut area. The existing cut slopes are to be stabilized using
. rock, drywall-type construction, log cribbing or half bridge may
be acceptable on the fill sides. Fill slopes shall not be allowed
to reach the stream.
Station 847-855 - The proposed center line should be held near the
outside edge of the existing paving to avoid cutting into the
hillside ·which has the potential to unravel long distance up
the slope. The same type of stabilization on the fill slope
as above.
Station 855-865 - This curve should be a 14° curve using the P.I. at
N525,362.518, El,027,858.246. The outside of the curve betl"een
Station 860 and 865 can be used as waste disposal. The limits
of the area used will be established on site.
Station 865 to Rick's Spring will be evaluated ·,.,hen the additional
data is furnished.

Plans Required
The following plans will be required before construction begins.
A Water Quality Management Plan will be developed by U DOT
for approval by the Forest Service. This plan will include;
a) ~!oni toring standards, frequency, intensi ty and qual ifications of monitoring personnel. b) ~Ieasures to be used during
construction to maintain the existing water quality standard.
c) Turbidity and other standards which will be met during con- .
struction. ~lacroinvertebeate analysis should be utilized
before, during and after construction .
. . 2.
An Erosion Control, Revegetation, Landscaping plan will be prepared by the state and approved by the Forest Service prior to
contruction. This ' plan will include plant species, location,
quantity and quality. It will specify erosion control techniques such as cribbing, jute netting, etc. by location. It
will discuss the handling of slope blending, rock features, etc.
The following is offered as an aid and guide in developing a
landscape plan.
Before construction begins the shaping and revegetation of disposal or
waste sites must be designed and planned to assure a natural appearance
occurs in these areas. Several waste disposal sit e s were evaluated.
They are:
1.

�The proposed ne\"1 trailhead for Old Juniper should have a capacity large
enough to serve the high country around Mt. Elmer. An estimated 20
vehicles should be able to park at the trailhead. Because of the size
needed for such a :facility, only four possible sites exist within the
Wood Camp ~ollow area. These possible sites are shown on the attached
map . The new trailhead should also provide for resource protection
by controlling ORV use that presently exists in the drainage.
I
•
The following is an evaluation of ·each of the four possible sites:
1•
This site is located at the mouth of Wood Camp Hollov/ and is
presently being used as a trailhead. If this site is the final
location, additional parking space will be needed. Additional
space could be gained by one of two possible ways.
a.
Fill the are~ south of the existing lot next to the stream.
This could be accompl ished by using the site as a waste .
area for the highway department when they are working on
the Logan Canyon High\vay. The main advantage to this \'JQuld
be little cost to the Forest Service and no cutting of the
hillside at the site would be required. The main disadvantage would be the covering of a small grassy area next to
the stream.
b.
Th~
area west of the existing lot could be leveled by
cutting the hillside, making the lot .10nger. The main
advantage to ihis would be total control of the activity.
It could be done force account or by contract . . The main
disadvantage would be exposure ~f raw cut banks that would
. be a problem to revegetate.
Other advantages of site #1 is the closeness to Logan Canyon
Highway requiring only a short distance of road. It would also
be a good location to control (barrier) ORVis.
2.
This site is located on a flat where ~ right-hand fork intersects
Wood Camp Hollow. The greatest advantage to development of this
site is its size and level topography, thus requiring only a
small amount of grading. The main disadvantages of the site are:
a.
b.
3.
The site is open making control of ORV's more costly and
difficult.
One-half mile would have to be rebuilt to get to the site.
This site is located at the point where the old eiisting road
fords the stream.
The main advantage to the site is that it is closer to Old
Juniper and the high country. The disadvantages are the mile
of new road needed to get to the site ~nd the lack of natural

�topography large enough for the needed parking lot) thus requiring
large cuts and fills. Control of ORVIs would be a ~roblem along
the access road to this site"because of the distance and ~rcas of
open country.
4.
This site is located at the beginning of the Old Juniper Trail
and at the end of the old existing road. This location is the
closest possible site to Old Juniper. The problem with the
site is the 10%+ slope ·and lack of space to put in a suitable
parking lot without having · to do a great deal of site disturbance.
Distance again from Logan Canyon (about 2 miles) is a disadvantage as well as ORV control along the access.
It is recommended that site #1 be developed filljn~ the area south
of the existing parking lot for the needed .expansion.

Dear Mr. Zolinger:
The SierTI1 Club is concerned a.bout the numerous new reflectors and posts
that 'Here pla.ced along the lower portion of Laga.n canyon Highwa.y (U.8. 89)
during thp Utah Dep:trtment of Tra.nsporta.tion's recent maintenance operation.
\<J e fee L tha.t these closely spaced markers a.re very unsightly.
They detract
from the 03.nyon's scenic surroundings bern.use of their eye leve 1 height for long
distan ceE on both sides of the roa.d.
The Sierra Club believes that Logan Canyon's roadway must be trea.ted as a
unique highwa.y whenever any road project is undertaken, including maintenance
work. Concerns a.bout the canyon's visual a.sthetics and physical environment
mus t ta ke }re ce~e over Federa.l and State highway standards.

ITEM 1 - REVIEW OF MINUTES
Jack Spence commented that if a 50 mph (AASHTO Standard)
alternative on a new alignment was to be considered in the
Canyon, then an alternative route such as Blacksmith Fork
should also be included in the study. After considerable
discussion, it was concluded that a 50 mph alternate on a
new alignment would be feasible only on the Rich County section. The previous technical memorandum would serve as the
basis for no further consideration of that option.
The scheduling of the scoping meeting was discussed and due
to conflicting schedules and the need to allow an adequate
review period, the scoping meetings were shifted to March 3
and 4, with the tentative schedule as follows:
Logan Scoping Meeting,
March 3, 7:00 p.m.
Government Agencies - Logan, March 4, 10:00 a.m.
Garden City Scoping Meeting, March 4, 7:00 p.m.
A draft of the notice of intent was circulated and comments
on the wording received.
ITEM 2 - ALTERNATIVE EVALUATION
There was some discussion about how the alternatives would
be defined and potential impacts evaluated. Howard Richardson
pointed out that the highway, as it is now, is adequate for
some disciplines and not for others. The objective of the
I. D. Team is to do the best we can to meet the needs of
all, realizing that no one is going to get everything they
want.
Howard also indicated that the official design speed
for the previously improved lower Canyon was 40 mph. Any
curves that do not meet the 40 mph criteria are then posted
with a lower advisory speed.

Stan Nuffer called the meeting to order and asked members of
the group to introduce themselves. Following the introductions, some of the members were asked to briefly describe
their views of the project and its objectives.
Jim Naegle indicated that UDOT wants a thorough investigation
and has no preconceived idea as to what, if anything, should
be done in the canyon. He expressed appreciation for the
interest of the environmental cowmunity and the public in
general. He also wants members of the I.D. Team to have
full input into all phases of the project. The most serious
problems in the canyon presently are narrow and obsolete
bridges which are in need of repair or replacement.
Lynn Zollinger explained that UDOT has a responsibility to
the traveling public to provide safe, efficient transportation.
UDOT wants to satisfy the needs of the traveling
public and the environmental community. He expects an openminded study with adequate input from all of the interested
public.
Dave Baumgartner said that the rules of the environmental
"ball game" have changed since the '70's. A successful
study is dependant upon public support and understanding.
This project will be a challenging one and standard
solutions will probably not work in every instance.
1
�Todd Weston stated that he does not have any notion that
there will ever be a freeway or a 4-lane highway through the
canyon. He feels that there are more problems in the canyon
than old bridges and the study must address those problems
without being locked into one concept. He does expect ideas
to improve transportation can be implemented.
Rudy Lukez stated that there are many personal feelings about
the canyon and that some people will be upset if there is a
large construction project in it. The canyon is an environmentally sensitive area and there is a need for careful study
and analysis before any work can begin. The environmental
community desires to be kept informed. Rudy also expressed
concern that meetings held during the day may be difficult
for those who work elsewhere to attend.
Steve Flint stated that there were many people who questioned
the transportation needs in the canyon.
Stan Nuffer then explained the I.D. Team and the role of
each I.D. Team member. The I.D. Team is to function as the
group which reviews scope, data, methodology and conclusions
of the study and determines whether each stage of the study
adequately addresses the critical issues and meets the objectives of the study.
Gale Larson said that Valley Engineering's office in Logan
will be the local contact point and someone will be available
for questions at least 10 hours per week. Valley Engineering
will also perform the field surveys and traffic counts.
Some traffic counts were conducted during the ski season in
order to have the information available for the study this
summer. Gale expects to work closely with Sheldon Barker
with the public involvement task work.
Stan Nuffer then introduced the Scope of Work, as included
in the consulting agreement between UDOT and CH2M HILL, and
led the discussion on the tasks outlined in the agreement.
Task 1 - ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
The discussion covered the major areas of potential need
covered in the agreement; safety, maintenance, substandard
geometrics, and congestion.
If areas with substandard geometries are identified, options to correct the problems will
be identified, these may include road re-alignment. During
the discussion of congestion, Rudy Lukez asked what was
meant by levels of service c,d,e. Stan Nuffer gave a brief
description and said that detailed descriptions will be provided to members of the I.D. Team in a Technical Memo. Rudy
Lukez also asked how traffic projections were determined.
Stan Nuffer said that UDOT uses projections of population
2
�prepared by local councils of governments and other agencies
who are charged with the task of preparing proj'ections of
that type.
TASK 2 - LOCATION STUDIES
The study area will include the roadway between Right Hand
Fork and Garden City.
The alternatives listed in the contract scope will be evaluated as well as others identified
during the course of the study. New roadway alignments may
also be considered from the summit to Garden City.
John
Neal asked what the termini of the project were.
FHWA must
approve the termini in order for the project to be eligible
for funding.
Lynn Zollinger said that Logan City to Garden
City had been proposed to the FWHA and he expects approval
shortly.
Since Logan to Right Hand Fork has already been
improved there would be no action considered on that stretch
of road.
Tom Haislip said that the development of the alternatives will be one of the biggest phases of the project.
Mapping was also discussed.
Existing mapping available
through UDOT will be used on the project wherever possible,
however adequate mapping is not available over the entire
route. As the mapping is completed, maps will be made
available to members of the I.D. Team.
TASK 3 - GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS
The extent of the geotechnical investigations will be determined as alternatives are developed.
It is expected that
they will be needed primarily in areas where re-alignment is
considered.
Dave Baumgartner expressed concern about the role of the
I.D. Team in this study.
If the team is to be advisory
only, he does not think a satisfactory solution to identified problems can be found.
To be successful, the I.D. Team
should have a role in establishing study criteria and in
formulating recommendations. Other team members expressed
their views on the subject, and expressed their belief that
the I.D. Team would function in a manner that would lead to
a successful resolution of the transportation problems identified in the study.
TASK4 - PUBLIC AND AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
Sheldon Barker said that CH2M HILL would make three promises
in the public involvement program; (1) to be a good listener,
(2) to get input from all interested individuals and groups
and to treat each with respect, 3) when the report is prepared, it would contain no surprises because everyone had
been involved in the process.
3
�The scoping process was also discussed.
It will include the
development of the project objective, holding informationai
meetings to educate the public, meetings with small groups
as well as large, preparation of a video tape, and maintaining a project office in Logan where interested parties could
come to obtain information on the project. Rudy Lukez suggested that information also be made available at the USU
Library and the Logan Public Library so that it would be
available during evening hours. Sheldon Barker said that
the suggestion was a good one and it will be implemented.
There was considerable discussion on the number and scheduling of meetings. Rudy Lukez did not feel that a lot of
meetings was necessarily a good thing. He used as an example
the recent meetings held by the Division of Water Resources
on the proposal to build a dam on the Bear River. Meetings
should be proceeded by 2 or 3 weeks of media coverage and
should be well prepared. Rudy was also not certain if there
would be any value to meeting with small groups because it
would not give people with differing views an opportunity to
hear the opinions of others. Sheldon Barker indicated that
the different views would come out in the larger public
meetings and that meeting with small groups would give the
project team the opportunity to better prepare for the larger
meetings. Rudy Lukez said that fall would be the best time
to hold the scoping meetings because more -people would be
able to attend.
TASK 5 - COORDINATION
Tom Haislip discussed the I.D. Team and its organization and
the need to have each member involved.
TASK 6 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSl-lENT
Tom Haislip said that the I.D. Team would playa key role in
the project by providing input and direction to the study
team. Tom also asked for help from the environmental community.
If there were any data or studies that are available
and not in UDOT files, they may be of great help in the study.
Rudy Lukez said that there was a study underway at USU investigating the impact that high speed traffic has on deer.
Tom Haislip indicated that field studies were not planned
because there is extensive information available. Tom also
explained that it is intended that Technical Memos be prepared presenting in detail the findings of each phase of the
study. After the I.D. Team has reviewed, discussed, and
revised the Technical Memos, the information would be summarized and placed in the report.
4
�There was more discussion on the role of the I.D. Team.
Dave Baumgartner again expressed his concern that I.D. Team
members be in a position to do more than simply review conclusions and give their comments. Stan Nuffer said that
study data, methodology, and conclusions would all be presented to the I.D. Team and discussed before incorporating
anything into the report. Tom Haislip said that CH2M HILL's
job would be to the "doers" who would gather information,
review data and prepare Technical Memos for the I.D. Team.
The I.D. Team would then review and discuss the memos and
hopefully resolve any differences. Dave Baumgartner said
that it may be necessary for superiors in each agency to
resolve conflicts if they could not be handled on the I.D.
Team level.
He also indicated that the whole process would
work much better if each alternative developed offered a
real solution to the problems so that the alternative evaluation would be believable.
Todd Weston pointed out that the Forest Service, UDOT, and
FHWA must all agree to whatever solutions are presented in
the report.
If any of the three agencies disagree with the
findings, the project will never be completed.
In discussions at the end of the meeting, there was no agreement as to when the first public information meeting should
be held, or what purpose it should serve. After further
discussion, it was decided that the date of the first meeting
should be set after the next I.D. Team meeting.
It was recommended that a feature article on the project be prepared
for the Logan paper. This should be published prior to the
Logan public information meeting.
The next meeting will be held on Monday June 23, at
7:00 p.m. at District 1 headquarters in Ogden.

�LEVEL OF DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED BY
NEPA FOR ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
Projects are classified in accordance with NEPA (National
Environmental Policy Act) categories.
Information on the
project is collected and incorporated in the appropriate
environmental documents. There are three classes of actions
which prescribe the level of documentation required in the
NEPA process:
a.
Class I full EIS (Environmental Impact Statement).
Actions that may significantly affect the environment and require an EIS.
b.
Class II Categorical Exclusions. Actions that do
not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the environment.
c.
Class III with EA's (Environmental Assessments).
Actions in which the significance of the impact on
the environment is not clearly established.
When the project is placed in Class II Categorical Exclusion
or Class III Environmental Assessment, UDOT's established
procedure shall be followed.
Individualized procedure will

Item 1 - Review of Minutes
There were no conunents on the minutes of the previous meeting.
Steve Flint expressed concern over the traffic forecast and
felt that an exponential forecast is not statistically
supportable from the traffic data for the Logan Canyon
stations shown in the ·technical memorandum. He was also
concerned that level of service projections based on that
growth rate would be misleading.
He suggested a time series
analysis and using data as far back as available.
Stan
Nuffer reviewed the methods and assumptions used when the
technical memorandum was presented and accepted by the
I.D. Team in August 1986. In the original analysis, we had
looked at a number of areas to forecast growth including
traffic data for a number of highways including stations on
u.S. 89 outside of the Canyon. Also data from regional
economic and local land use forecasting was used, which
forecast a growth rate in the 2 percent range. All of these
sources of data were used to arrive at the proposed rate.
Concern has been expressed that the 2 percent rate was too
low when compared against projections made by UDOT in the
past. After considerable discussion, a motion was passed
with one negative vote to retain at 2 percent (l.9S)
experimental growth rate.
Stan agreed to look at what
effect differences in the projected ADT would have in
capacity determinations.
Steve also suggested that Section 2 be broken into two subsections, for capacity analysis which will be considered.
The assumption for one percent buses in the traffic needs to
be supported by data or dropped.
Lynn Zollinger suggested
we check with Idaho and Wyoming on what projections they are
using.
1
�Duncan Silver a.sked what process will be used in determining
visual impacts, and if there are any rules or guidelines
that can be followed.
Clark Ostergaard said that the existing analysis shows what is · there and what should be preserved.
Each area will have to be handled on a case-by-case basis
for each of the alternatives. Mitigation measures may be
possible in some areas.
Due to the length of discussion on the above items, agenda
items 2 and 3 were passed over.
Items 2 and 3
Time was not available to review in the meeting.
bers encouraged to read the material.

Item 4 - Continued Discussion of Alternatives
Stan distributed a revised copy of the component and alternative development matrix showing the elimination of some
alternates and modification of components in other.
After
considerable discussion the following alternates were agreed
upon:

middle Canyon would ever be acceptable to the Forest
Service.

Re:
Attention:
Delineation in Logan Canyon Safety Project
HES- 02l(6)
Mr. Rudy Lukez
Dear Mr . Lukez:
Thank you for the comments of your June 16, 1986 letter. The U. S.
Forest Service and ourselves are currently in discussion regarding the
matter of delineators on US- 89 in Logan Canyon.
Since this project is a
safety construction project utilizing Federal and State safety funds, there
is some guarded caution to not increase public liability by failing to
provide a reasonable protection to the motorist.
The principal items being addressed in this contract are those which
have been identified as being substandard so far as safety features are
concerned. These difficiencies are those which could cause great harm to
the public and magnify the liability exposure of the public agencies
involved.
We feel we have a cordial relation with the USFS district office in
Logan, and I am confident that our present discussions will bring about a
decision that will be sensitive to the the scenic values of the Canyon.
Sincerely yours,
"
-tf~E.
