Those committee members who had received the memo had not had sufficient time to thoroughly review the information it contained so the discussion was fairly general. Jack Spence thought that all of the data points needed to be plotted and that the standard deviation and correlation coefficient should be shown also. Duncan Silver asked about the design hour volume (DHV) and the directional split of the traffic. If the DHV and directional split are to be addressed in the capacity/level of service analysis, it should be stated in this technical memorandum so that readers would know where to find that information. Duncan also suggested plotting the 100 highest hour volumes to see if 30th highest hour (which is presently being used by UDOT), is the best one to use as the basis for the DHV. Written comments on the draft memorandum were requested by the next meeting. 1 �( Todd Weston asked if it would be possible to get the information out sooner so that team members had a chance to review it. Item 3 - Review of Manual Traffic Counts Gale Larson reported on the manual traffic counts taken on July 19 and August 2. Summaries of the counts were given to team members for their review. Item 4 - Review of Maintenance Information ( Cliff Forsgren presented a summary of the evaluation of the maintenance in the Canyon. The largest maintenance related problem in the Canyon is snow removal. Portions of the Canyon are narrow with steep walls and the river is adjacent to the road. The roadway in those areas has no shoulder and there is nowhere to store or place the snow. Present practice is to plow all of the snow to one side of the road and into the river. This procedure requires plows to move snow across the traffic lanes. There was some discussion about the desirability of this practice. Duncan Silver said that there should be two criteria used in evaluating these procedures; 1) how is the public served and 2) how safe is the procedure. Howard Richardson told a bit about the procedures and about the District's "bare road" snow removal policy. Jack Spence asked how many times per year snowplows would be moving snow across traffic lanes. The number will vary depending upon the number of snow storms. Sometimes a snow blower will be used to keep the road clear also. Snow plow operators consider the present practice unsafe. Howard Richardson invited any team members who would be interested in a first hand evaluation to come and ride on one of the plows this winter. Jack Spence asked how many accidents have been caused by this procedure? It was not known if there had been any. The options for alleviating the snow removal problems would be to construct wider shoulders. Flooding of the road was also discussed. Finding and disposing of suitable berm material is the biggest problem associated with protecting the road during high runoff. Fred LaBar said that anchor ice above Ricks Springs had been responsible for flooding a number of years ago and that anchor ice is a continuing problem in the river. Todd Weston asked if plowing snow into the river could contribute to the buildup of anchor ice. Fred did not know for sure but thought that it might. S Item % - Review of Accident Data John Neil reported that the Safety Section had not released the accident analysis runs yet. Jack Spence indicated that the accident data needed to be analyzed for as many years as 2 �possible if Silver said that number severity of it was to be a meaningful evaluation. Duncan that a goal should be statistical reliance and of accidents was not as important as the accidents. SLC82/07 3 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Lynn Zollinger indicated that the material placed along the river was not bladed into the river but rather bladed to the side to establish a roadway shoulder. There was no other discussion on the minutes. Item 2 - Draft Traffic Forecast Technical Memorandum Steve Flint presented written comments on the draft memorandum and a copy was presented to each team member present. Jack Spence indicated that he had tried several methods to , try and establish a trend using annual and non-summer ADT's and found that the scatter of the points was too great to draw any conclusions. From a statistical standpoint a correlation was not found. However, given the data available, he could not recommend an approach which would be any better than those described in the memo. Duncan Silver felt that the methodology used was adequate and that the written comments received should be incorporated into the memo and this portion of the study concluded. There was agreement on use of the 2 percent compounded growth for making traffic projections. ( There was some discussion on how and when the design hour volume would be e?tablished. Cliff Forsgren explained that it was planned to select the design hour volume as part of the capacity evaluation. The 100 highest hour volumes for 1 �several of the past years are being plotted and will be available _ by the next meeting. -- The design hour volume will be determined at that time. Item 3 - Review of Manual Traffic Counts Stan Nuffer reviewed the manual traffic count data. The manual counts have been completed and the data will now be reduced. Duncan Silver asked how a traffic profile would be developed through the Canyon. Stan explained that the data from the permanent station and the manual counts would be correlated to establish a profile and directional split through the Canyon. Stan pointed out that the hourly directional split appears to follow an urban distribution. Item 4 - Review of Existing Roadway Features Stan Nuffer distributed illustrations of typical road crosssections at mile posts through the Canyon and explained that this information would be used to establish capacity and level of service. The discussion focused primarily on the design speed and how and when it would be established. Stan Nuffer indicated that it would be desirable to keep the speed as uniform as possible through the Canyon, but that may not be possible. It was explained that the design speed is usually a function of lane width and horizontal and vertical alignment. Lynn Zollinger asked when the alternate routes from the Summit to Garden C~ty would be considered.- Stan Nuffer explained that it would occur during the alternative development task which was yet to come. The 1 inch = 500 feet mapping will not be available until mid September. General Discussion Jack Spence expressed some concern ab6ut whether or not there would be enough information available to hold the first public involvement meeting in early September. It was decided that since the first meeting had not been officially scheduled to wait until the information was available to schedule the public involvement meeting. The next ID Team meeting will held in Brigham City. SLC76/07 2 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

MINUTES OF ID TEAM MEETING January 27, 1987 ( Attendance: Sheldon Barker, CH2M HILL Stan Nuffer, CH2M HILL Torn Haislip, CH2M HILL Fred LaBar, USFS Mark Shaw, USFS Clark Ostergaard, USFS Gale Larson, Valley Engineering Duncan Silver, FHWA Jim Naegle, UDOT Lynn Zollinger, UDOT Howard Richardson, UDOT Steve Flint, Audobon Assoc. Bill Helm, Item 1 - Review of Minutes There were no cornnlents 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 (1.95) 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 asked what process will be used in determining visual impacts, and if there are any rules or guidelines that can be followed. Clark Qstergaard ·said that the · existing analysis shows what is there and what should be preserv~d. 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. Team mem- 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 ( Alt Alt Alt Alt 1 2 3 4 No build Spot improvements Widen along existing alignment Widen and. improve align to 40 mph with advising 35 mph design where necessary Upper Canyon Alt 1 Alt 2 Alt 4 No build Spot improvements Widen and improve existing alignment to 60 mph with lower advisory design speed where necessary Rich County Alt 1 Alt 2 Alt 4 Alt 6 No build Spot improvements Widen and improve existing alignment to 40 mph with lower advisory design speed where necessary New north alignment with 40 mph basic but look at 50 mph if possible Spot improvements should be defined by location and improvement. ( 2 �( Fred LaBar was skeptical that a uniform 40 mph design in the middle Canyon would ever be acceptable to the Forest Service.

There was some confusion about the sources of additional names for the mailing list which were listed in the minutes. It was noted that Fred LaBar and Bill Helm had mailed names and not turned them in at the last meeting. There was no other discussion on the minutes. ITEM 2 - TFAFFIC COUNT DATA The sources of traffic data were discussed. Permanent stations on US 89-91 at Webster Junction, on US 89 at Card Guard Station in Logan Canyon (later moved to Garden City), and on US 89 north of Garden City are being used in the preparation of the traffic forecast. ITEM 3 - PRESENTATION OF PROPOSED TPAFFIC FORECAST A past trends based forecast had been prepared using a least squares best fit linear function. This approach produced an annual increase in ADT which was less than one percent, a rate which was felt to be low. The Utah State, Office of Planning and Budget was prepared its forecast of economic and population growth through the year 2010. The overall rate of population increase for northern Utah was approximately 2 percent. If traffic in Logan Canyon were to increase at the same rate as the population, the summer ADT in Logan Canyon would reach approximately 6,000 vehicles per day in 2,010. Supporting data for this forecast is available and will be presented at the next ID Team (Team) meeting. There was also some Qlscussion on the traffic classification counts. The summer counts will begin on July 29, 1987. The counts will include a classification for recreational vehicles and record turning movements. �ITEM 4 - DISCUSSION OF HIGHWAY CAPACITY AND LEVEL OF SERVICE DETERMINATION The roadway will be evaluated on the basis of the level of service which is possible at a given traffic volume. The Transportation Research Board describes a procedure for establishing levels of service (A through E) for rural roads. Copies of portions of the procedure description were distributed to team members to help them become familiar with the level of service concept. There was some discussion on which level of service would be planned for in the Canyon. UDOT would like to plan for a "C" level, but the actual level of service used will be determined by the Team. ITEM 5 - REVIEW OF ACCIDENT DATA The accident data for 6 years (1980 - 1985) has been tabulated using a UDOT computer program. The UDOT program was used because the program performs the types of analysis required for roadways and the accident data base was already on the UDOT computer. The computer runs had only recently been completed and there had not been sufficient time to review the results. Hopefully this will be completed by the next meeting. ITEM 6 - UPDATE ON STATUS OF BASE MAP PREPARATION ( An example of the base maps was shown to the of the set will be available, when they have to Team members who wish to have one. Clark requested a set to get started on the visual Team. Copies been completed, Ostergaard survey. MISCELLANEOUS The approved forest plan has a section on Logan Canyon which may be of · interest to Team members. Clark Ostergaard will bring a number of copies of that section to the next meeting.

Jack Spence had pointed out that a linear model of 1 0 the past trends traffic projection might be preferable to an exponential model because the standard deviation of the extrapolation was better in the linear model, not the r2 value as reported. ITEM 2 - JOHN L. ENGLAND, U. S. FTSH AND vlILDLIFE ' SERVICE COMMENTS John L. England (Larry) discussed the ~laguire Primrose and the FWS interest in Logan Canyon. In summary his comments inpluded: o The latest status report on the Maguire Primrose prepared by the Utah Native Plant Society is probably as good a source of current information as there is presently available. o The FWS has requested to be a cooperating agency in this study. o The Maguire Primrose exists only in the lower end of Logan Canyon, from Wood Camp to the mouth of the Canyon and it is currently on the "threatened" species list. A threatened species receives the same protection, under law, as does an endangered species. 1 I I~vf 7 c �MEETING NOTES Page 2 o It is possible that some of the alternatives could impact one or more known populations. o It will be necessary to prepare a biological assessment for FWS review. o The Maguire Primrose is apparently sensitive to temperature increases and soil type. Some types of improvements could alter cold air drainage pattern or remove trees that presently provide shelter. o The only population of Maguire Primrose the FWS is concerned about (based upon present alternatives) is near Wood Camp. o The basic alternative descriptions include a turnout near Wood Camp. Larry indicated that it might be better to consider some widening at that point and eliminate the turnout in order to keep the traffic moving and away from a sensitive population. o He would recommend preserving as much vegetation as possible. Steve Flint asked about two other species that had been listed in a letter to CH2M HILL. Larry indicated that there were two species presently under review in the Canyon. Stan Nuffer asked if there were guidlines for preparing biological assessments. Larry named some people who had prepared these assessments. They were Stanley Welsh, a botany professor at BYU and Leila Shultz, the Intermountain Herbarium Curator. ITEM 3 - DISCUSS RESULTS OF SCOPING MEETINGS Stan asked members of the ID Team to give their impressions of the scoping meetings that were held on March 3 and 4. o Duncan Silver felt that after the comment period there should be a "roundtable" meeting with government agencies. He did not feel that those representing agencies gave all of the input that they could or should. Overall Duncan did not feel that there were any new issues or alternatives brought out. o Lynn Zollinger did not feel that there were any new issues brought out, but he would like to review a copy of the transcript to be sure. 2 �, MEETING NOTES Page 3 a Jim Naegle feit that there were some alternatives brought out during the meetings but felt that they were probably covered in the general alternative descriptions. o Howard Richardson wondered if there was some value in one comment about getting a "true cross-section" of opinion from area citizens. After some discussion about the value (and purpose of) polls, it was decided that the purpose of scoping meetings were not to "take a vote" but to be sure the full range of issues and possible alternatives were addressed in the study. Those who are interested will generally make their views known. a Fred LaBar did not think that there were any new alternatives brought up in the meetings. However, he did pOlnt out that alternative routes had been brought up in two of the meetings and that a scientific survey (opinion) should be addressed in the EIS. Fred also asked if it was true that it is the law in Utah that slow moving vehicles with traffic behind them must pull off. Duncan Silver said that it is now the law in Utah and that he is , o'n a committee wi th UDOT that is working on a system to provide better advance warning of passing lanes and turnouts. There should be some information available in time to include in the report. '0 Clark Ostergarrd pointed out that the Citizens for the Preservation of Logan Canyon (CPLC) had presented eight specific recommendations for spot improvements and requested that they be given consideration in the study. The eight recommendationsappear to be included in the general list of spot improvements already identified. Steve Flint felt that it was important that people understand that each spot improvement is to be considered on its own merits and that it is not an "all or nothing" alternative. If this is the approach, the CPLC recommendations would be considered along with other spot improvements and the best would be included in the final "spot improvement" alternative. Clark also pointed out that some people had suggested that the highway be planned and designed as a "scenic highway". There was some discussion about standards for scenic highways. Jack Spence 3 �MEETING NOTES Page 4 asked if there is a separate standard for scenic highways. Duncan Silver indicated that there were none. "Standards" for a given scenic road have more or less evolved and generally just address the local situation. Using National Park Service standards was also discussed. Duncan Silver pointed out that truck routes have been designated throughout the US. This was mandated by Congress because of the number of states ~ that had placed limitations on through roads, that -C ~~~)r~eJ was adversely attecting interstate commerce. US-89 through Logan Canyon has apparently been designated /~ I as a truck route. Continued use of the Canyon by ---- ~ truck traffic should be addressed in the study. 0 o Jim Naegle pointed out that a "standard" for Logan Canyon will have to be one that will fit the conditions and still allow the traffic to flow as smoothly as possible. o Lynn Zollinger said that any "standard" less than the modified one may not give enough added capacity to the roadway to make it worthwhile. Any proposed "standard" for the Canyon should be evaluated on its ability to improve the flow of traffic as well as its impact on the environment. Lynn also asked if anyone was anticipating an increase in traffic because of the scenic highway designation. Stan pointed out that other states are being contacted in an effort to determine what, if any, impact a scenic highway designation might have on traffic volumes. Lynn also pointed out that UDOT has been approached by the local cattleman's association about the possibility of fencing the road in the area where cattle range. There is concern about the number of animals killed on the road. A fencing project would require both Forest Service and private participation. o Jack Spence indicated that some hunters had expressed concern to him that an increase in speed might also increase the number of deer killed on the road. Howard Richardson said that the experience of UDOT has been that, besides speed, it is important to keep the vegetation back away from the road so that motorists can better see deer as they approach the road. 4 �MEETING NOTES Page 5 o Steve Flint observed that there were still some people who did not understand the purpose of the scoping meetings and some still believed that a 4-lane roadway alternative was being considered. Steve also restated the need to have a mechanism for sorting out spot improvements and evaluating their impacts individually. o There was some general discussion on the notification of government agencies. Duncan suggested that a copy of the letter which was sent to agencies be attached to the minutes of this meeting when it is mailed to team members. ITEM 4 - EXPANSION OF THE l.D.TEAM Stan Nuffer told the team that there had been some suggestions made during the scoping meetings that interests from Rich County be included on the 1.0. Team. -The Mayor of Logan had also expressed some interest about having a broader representation on the team. After some discussion it was concluded that the team was primarily dealing with technical issues and that the "technical interests" were represented. - Fred LaBar thought that the biggest problem in Rich County was the lack of information. There · is n~ local newspaper and most people do not take the Herald Journal so there is no local vehicle for getting information out. It was decided to invite both the. Rich County people and Logan people to attend I. D. Team meetings t .O see how they operate, but there was not much to be gained by adding additional members to the team. There will be a work meeting with the Logan City Council (tentatively scheduled for March 19) and any team member who can attend is encourqged to do so. ITEM 5 - DAY-LONG SESSION IN THE CANYON TO DEFINE ALTERNATIVES There was some discussion on the value of spending some time in the Canyon and defining the alternatives on the ground. Most team members were supportive of the idea but felt that some time was needed to study what had been done on large scale maps. Stan will have the information put on 1"=200' maps and copies made for the next meeting. A session in the Canyon will be scheduled at that time. ITEM 6 - TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS There was some brief discussion on the traffic projections. Cliff Forsgren said that calculations, assumptions and methodologies for projecting traffic and estimating highway capacity were being double checked and more information would be forthcoming.

Duncan Silver had discussed this with Stan Nuffer and Stan is goLng to follow up on it. Bill Helm indicated that he had gathered some additional information on fish counts and spawning habitat and would bring it to the next meeting. Lynn Zollinger asked about a rare disease which occurred in some varieties of trees in Logan Canyon. Fred LaBar indicated that he knew what Lynn was referring to and that he would get some information on the disease to Lynn. April 21, 1987 Meeting There was considerable discussion on the minutes of the tour of the Canyon and there were a number of changes made. Most of those present asked for revised copies of the minutes when they were completed. After the review of the minutes, Jack Spence reported that the environmental groups had met and reviewed the project to date and had some concerns. They had looked at all of the alternatives and none are acceptable, except spot improvements on a case-by-case basis. Jack reported the environmental community felt that the size of the project was growing beyond the original scope and that it appeared that FHWA was driving this increase. Jack explained that the existing forest plan, which has been approved, left little room for improvements of any size in the Canyon. There is some concern that the study is progressing without regard to �MEETING MINUTES Page 2 the forest plan and its limitations. If the study results in recommended improvements requiring a change in the forest plan, that change would be appealed and the entire process delayed indefinitely. The belief of · the environmental community is that the forest plan allows only spot improvements and that all environmental sections of the report must address how each alternative would affect the plan. Item 2 - Discussion of the Existing Conditions Portion of the Socio-Economic Technical Memorandum (Due to the lack of time discussion of this item was postponed) Item 3 - Discussion of Spot Improvement Alternative Specific spot improvements were identified. These include: 1. A nominal deceleration and turn-lane at Right Fork 2. An improved intersection at Wood Camp 3. Flattening the first sharp curve above Right Fork 4. Slow vehicle turnout above Wood Carnp and just beyond the area where the Maquire Primrose is located 5. Replacing Burnt Bridge 6. Improvements to allow parking near Logan Cave, raising the grade along the river at the cave and possibly doing a better job of placing riprap. Options for flattening the curve are to be evaluated. 7. Replacing Lower Twin Bridge, possibly on a new alignment 8. Passing lane in the Lower Twin Bridge and Dugway area 9. Intersection improvements at the Temple Fork intersection. 10. Shift the alignment of the road at Ricks Springs to allow parking on one side of the road only. 11. Intersection improvements at Tony Grove 12. Intersection improvements at Red Banks �MEETING MINUTES Page 3 13. A climbing lane beginning approximately 2 miles above Ricks Springs 14. Intersection improvements at Franklin Basin 15. Replace the drainage structure at Beaver Creek 16. Intersection improvements at Beaver Mountain 17. Climbing lane between Beaver Mountain and the state maintenance shed 18. Climbing lane in the Sinks area 19. Intersection improvements at Sunrise Campground 20. Some curve flattening in Rich County 21. Intersection improvement in Rich County Each spot improvement will be evaluated individually to determine its impact and benefit. There was not enough time to address the other agenda items and they will be discussed at a later date. SLC-STN/51 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

John Neil, UDOT Jim Naegle, UDOT Bruce Swenson, UDOT Jack Spence Steve Flint Item 1 - Review of Minutes Steve Flint asked that in all tech memo's and minutes, traffic volumes be stated as either winter, summer or annual. Item 2 - Review of Public Information Meeting f Stan Nuffer led the discussion on the public information meeting. Steve Flint pointed out that the distance from Garden City to Montelier, Idaho was 31 miles and the distance between Logan and " Garden City is 40 plus miles. Steve also indicated that he had spoken with people in the emergency room at the Logan Hospital and they said that there were medical services available in Montpelier and that the decision _to come to Logan for medical treatment was a personal one. Steve was concerned that there may have been ~ arl impression created at the meeting that there were no medical services in Montpelier. Noone at the meeting was certain just what services were available in Montpelier~ It was generally concluded that since Logan is a regional medical facility and has a greater range of services and specialists than the other communities in the general area, Logan would be a more desireable place to go for medical attention. 1 There was also a question about an increase in RV traffic in the Canyon. RV traffic is expected to increase at the same rate as the overall traffic volume. There has been nothing to indicate that the percentage of RV traffic will increase. 1 �( Jim Naegel mentioned that during the public meeting Rudy Lukez had said that he had traffic flow data dating back to the 1930's. Jim wondered why that information had not been brought to the ID Team and if Rudy wanted it considered as part of this study. No one in attendance was certain what Rudy wanted to do with the data. There was some discussion on the problem with the accident rate calculations obtained from UDOT. Jack Spence and Steve Flint expressed concern that the safety analysis may not be as good as it might be because of uncertain data. After some discussion it was decided that a letter would be written to the appropriate UDOT officials pointing out the calculation problems and the fear that there may be problems with the data itself. Cliff Forsgren will write the letter. Further discussion of safety led to the conclusion that those O.Ol-mile highway sections which appeared to have a greater number of accidents/year (at 80 percent confidence) than the average for the Canyon would be included in the alternative development phase. If during the alternative development phase it was determined that more information was needed on a specific site, the original accident reports for that site would be examined. Item 3 - Visual Considerations Presentation by Clark Ostergard Clark Ostergard made a presentation which explained the Forest Services' approach to classifying visual aspects and impacts of a proposed project. In addition to a written presentation, there were slides illustrating the important features of the visual classification system. Clark also had some references on designing and/or mitigating visual impacts on scenic highways. Clark has also taken the time to classify the roadway between Right Hand Fork and Ricks Springs. This information • will be extremely helpful as alternatives are developed and evaluated. Fred LaBar also discussed the Forest Plan, in particular Logan Canyon. Fred pointed out the provision for classifica~ tion of the highway in Logan Canyon as a "scenic highway". f:l John D' Amico asked if the "scenic highway" designation would ~ t-A~f'/ . increase traffic in the Canyon. Fred said that it might, · v"( t#.JJ especially if the Forest Service could increase its camping J ~~\~ facilities. \5'" Item 4 - Garden City Meeting Gale Larson said that there was a lot of interest in a meeting in Garden City. A meeting was scheduled for Monday, ' November 3, 1986 at 7:30 p.m. in Garden City. SLC-STN/03 2 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

During the discussion Rudy Lukez questioned the statement about the winter traffic count representing a "background" traffic flow. After some discussion, Duncan Silver wondered if the issues of background flow was really relevant to the study. Duncan asked that it be made clearer in the memorandum which flows were winter, which were summer and which were annual. It was concluded in the memorandum that the Design Hourly Volume (DHV) would be 14 percent of the average daily summer traffic. It was also noted that the 14 percent figure tracks very closely with other recreational roads. Item 3 - Traffic Capacity Cliff Forsgren presented the results of the traffic capacity analysis. It was pointed out that the primary purpose of the analysis was to try to describe the conditions that exist in the Canyon under various traffic volumes. To do this, a Level of Service approach was used. Levels of service from A to E were examined. It was determined that all sections of the road offer a level of service D at the present time and that by the year 2010 level E would be 1 �experienced in most of the Canyon. Rudy Lukez asked if level of service D was really undesireable. Cliff indicated that a desired level of service would need to be established as a goal and that this had not been done. Before alternatives can be developed this must be accomplished. Item 4 - Miscellaneous Duncan Silver felt that there needed to be a list developed of general environmental factors. This should be completed before the development of alternatives begins. Stan Nuffer indicated that the environmental team is gathering information and there should be some basic understanding before serious alternative development began.

It is possible that someone could interpret it to mean an l8-foot pavement width, which is not the case. Item 2 - Draft Traffic Forecast Technical Memorandum A draft of the safety technical memorandum was distributed and Cliff Forsgren briefly explained the memorandum. The fundamental conclusion stated in the memorandum is that there are accidents occurring in Logan Canyon at a greater rate than the' average for similar roads in the state, but that the accidents are not generally serious. In the memorandum, it is recommended that during the alternative development portion of the study, safety related alternatives be considered at locations identified. Lynn Zollinger suggested that the original accident reports should be reviewed in order to better define the location and cause of the accidents. Duncan Silver suggested that it was probably not necessary to go into greater detail except for specific improvements. Duncan asked that a day/night breakdown of accidents be included in the memorandum. Bill Helm thought that it would be helpful to expand Table 6 to include the number of each type of accident (severity 1 through 5). Duncan also pointed out that roadway improvements to not often reduce the number of acci~e~ts, but will reduce the severity. 1 �( -Steve Flint asked what effect the latest safety improvements had on the accident rate. Duncan pointed out that since the safety project had been completed within the past few months, it -would not be possible to estimate the impact, with any degree of confidence, for 3 or 4 years. There was some discussion about the chevrons which had been placed to mark one particularly sharp curve, and whether they had improved the safety of that curve. No one was certain when the chevrons were installed so that question could not be answered at the meeting. Duncan also suggested that something be said about the number of accidents which may be occurring during peak traffic periods. Steve Flint asked for copies of the "quick list". Cliff will see that he gets copies. Item 3 - Review of Manual Traffic Counts The date of the first public information meeting was set for September 23, 1986. Duncan Silver suggested that we should take the opportunity at the meeting to ask questions. " "How long does it take you to get through the Canyon now?" "How much faster do you want to get through the Canyon?" "What are you willing to give up to get through that fast?" Bill Helm said that it might be helpful if there was an opportunity to discuss the types of improvements that might be necessary to upgrade the road or eliminate some problems. The public would then have an idea of what might happen if some types of improvements were implemented. The next ID team meeting was scheduled for September 22, 1986 at 3:00 p.m. at the District Office in Ogden. SLC-STN/03 ( 2 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

There was a question raised about the review function of the ID Team which was described in the minutes. The role of the ID Team was an agenda item for this meeting and discussion of the function was postponed until later in the meeting. There was no further discussion of the minutes. ITEM 2 - Discussion of Role of Interdisciplinary Team A statement of the role of the interdisciplinary team was distributed and discussed. The major functions were: 1 ...I... • 2. ') ..J • Provide management input Provide technical input CH2M HILL will provide the primary input and the USFS would provide the technical input on environmental items. Other team members would add input as the need or opportunity arose. Review technical memoranda and draft Environmental Report - �4. The team members will review the technical memoranda and will also review the draft environmental report. Level of environmental action determinationRudy Lukez asked if this means that a decision will be made during the study on what the proposed project will be. He also wanted to know who would make the decision. It was explained that the final decision on what project, if any, will be proposed will be made by the three cooperating agencies, UDOT, USFS and FHWA. Prior to the decision on a project however, a decision must be made on the class of environmental action (EA or EIS) . Jack Spence was not sure who would make the recommendation on the class of environmental action to the cooperating agencies. It was determined that the ID Team would make the recommendation. Modifications to the statement of the role of the team were made. The revised statement is attached to these minutes. ITEM 3 - Level of Documentation Required by NEPA for Environmental Studies ( NEPA requirements for environmental studies were reviewed and discussed. A handout taken from the UDOT publication, Procedures for Project Development, described the basic categories. ITEM 4 - Public Involvement Program Outline Ap outline of the Public Involvement Program had previously been sent to ID Team members and was discussed at length. The principle topics of discussion were: 1. . The terms "projectlf and "study" were both used in the outline. To be consistent "study" should be used throughout when describing the ongoing activity. This will help to alleviate any fears of those who equate Ifproject" with actual construction. ?. Jack Spence wanted to know what the rational for the study was. Lynn Zollinger explained that whenever UDOT went into Logan Canyon, people asked the question If What is going to happen next?" After this study is complete UDOT can point to a plan which will address the transportation needs in the Canyon through the year 201rr. �3. The press release was discussed and Rudy Lukez suggested that the ID Team be described in it. John Neil stated that UDOT's community relations department would release the information as soon as it was prepared. 4. During the discussion of Milestone 2, it was recommended that the word "improvements be replaced with "action" so that both repair and improvements would be covered. Rudy Lukez asked where traffic forecasts would be used and how they would be developed. It was explained that the permanent traffic counter at Garden City, and spot traffic counts, would be used to establish the present tra f fic load in the Canyon. Population projections prepared by agencies having that responsibility would then be used to project traffic volume ahead to the year 2010. It was explained that there had already been spot traffic counts taken at two locations, on 2 different days this past winter and that more would be taken this summer. Jack Spence was not sure that the data gathered would be sufficient. He said that one of the problems with past studies was the lack of reliable traffic data from which to project future traffic flow. Jack asked to see the methodology and data when it was available. Rudy Lukez asked if sampling was an accepted means of gathering current traffic flow data. Duncan Silver answered that it was, provided the sample size was large enough and the sampling techniques were acceptable. He also suggested that the ID Team evaluate the sampling techniques. Stan Nuffer said that information on the methodology and sampling techniques would be ready for the next ID Team meeting. Rudy Lukez asked if they could be prepared far enough in advance to allow the team members a chance to review the information before the next meeting. Duncan Silver restated his belief that the key issue on this · item was the methodology used to gather the present traffic flow data. Duncan also wanted to know why a 2-day 10-hour sample period was selected, a period of this type would be acceptable for traffic classification but probably not for counts. Stan Nuffer said that information on the methodology and sampling techniques would be available before the next meeting. ll 5. Jack Spence expressed concern about having too many meetings during the summer vlhen many of the USU students and facility are out of town. Sheldon Barker indicated that the schedule of meetings was �flexible and that something could probably be worked out. 6. During the discussion of Milestone 3, Jack Spence asked if the Public Involvement Program was designed to meet the requirements for an EIS in case there was a need for one. Tom Haislip explained that the program was designed with an EIS in mind. Sheldon Barker also asked the team members for names of persons or organizations who should be added to the mailing list. Anyone who has a suggestion should either give Sheldon the information after the meeting or mail it to him. ITEM 5 - Schedule of Interdisciplinary Team Meetings Stan Nuffer presented a schedule of team meetings through September. It was suggested that 3:00 p.m. would be a better time for some team members than 10:00 a.m. It was agreed that all meetings scheduled for 10:00 a.m. would be held at 3:00 p.m. instead. Before the meeting adjourned, Duncan Silver again stated that he felt the traffic data must be good enough to satisfy the group before the study proceeded too much farther. Jim Naegle stated that standard accepted methods were used during the gathering of data. The next scheduled meeting is 3:00 p.m., July 14, 1986, in the District office in Ogden.
