Title
A name given to the resource
Aerial Image of Thistle on April 15, 1983
Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

~UHMARY FACT SnEET
nIGHWAY U.S. 89 - LOGAN CANYON STUDY
NOVEMBER 1986
Utah Department of Transportation (UOOT)
CII2M IIILL Engineering Consultants
INTRODUCTION
UDOT has contracted with CH2M HILL for a study of US-89 in
Logan Canyon. The objective of the study is to evaluate
transportation needs, develop improvement alternatives and
to conduct an environmental evaluation of the alternative
concepts .
Findings of each step of this study will be
reported to the public through a public involvement program,
of which this fact sheet is a part. Previously circulated
information about this study is available at the Logan
Public Library, Utah State University Library and Valley
Engineering in Logan; U.S. Forest Service in Ogden; and CH2M
HILL and UOOT offices in Salt Lake City.
The purpose of this fact sheet is to report the preliminary
findings of the first task of the study. A report on the
preliminary identification of public concerns/issues regarding
potential improvements to U.S. Highway 89 in Logan Canyon
from Right Hand Fork east to Garden City is also included.
Questions about the following information or the project in
general may also be directed to Gale Larson, Valley Engineering, in Logan at 753-0153 or Cliff Forsgren, CH2M HILL, in
Salt Lake City at 363-0200.
Additionally, ~anual counts were taken at several points
within the canyon during 1986 to provide .ore detailed characteristics of the traffic flow.
Table 1 ahows the annual
average vehicles per day (AnT) and su~er average vehicles
per day on the road. Figure 1 shows the distribution of
traffic during the year, and Figure 2 shows the distribution
during the week.

RECORDED
The first task of the study, the determination of transportation needs on Highway 89 through the canyon, was to identify
existing roadway conditions; examine accident records for
the road; identify maintenance problems; identify traffic
volumes and characteristics; project future volumes; and
determine road capacity. The conclusions drawn from analyzing
this information include the location and nature of specific
highway safety hazards; the capability of the existing road
to carry present and future traffic volumes; and what problems exist that may keep the highway from functioning at a
reasonable operational level. This information will be the
basis for the second task of the study, the development of
alternative improvements, if improvements are found to be
needed.

EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS
Design conditions of the road that affect traffic flow include cross-section elements, roadway curvature, roadway
gradient, and the width of and access to the highway rightof-way. These are generally referred to as roadway geometrics.
Data for cross-section elements show the road section between
Right Fork and Tony Grove as being well below standard in
terms of width of traffic lanes, shoulders, surfacing slopes,
and ditches.
The other sections, while below standard, are
not as seriously so.
Roadway curvature results in limited visibility and reduced
speeds.
The curves of each road section were categorized by
their recommended speed. The section from Right Fork to
Tony Grove ranked highest in the number of curves and in
their severity, followed by the section from the Cache-Rich
County line to Garden City. Gradient describes how fast a
highway climbs or descends in elevation. The section from
Tony Grove to Garden City has gradients of 6 to 7 percent
over 31 percent of its distance.
The majority of the road
from Logan to Tony Grove has gradients from 0 to 3 percent.

SAFETY ANALYSIS
10 . 5
a..
The highway has been examined to identify specific locations,
or general conditions which may be contributing to traffic
accidents in the Canyon. To do this, the consultant examined
the number, type and location of accidents in the study section
from 1980 thrugh 1985. The hgihway was divided into 374 sections of 0.10 mile each. The average number of accidents
per year for each section were then computed. Those sections
with significantly higher than average accident rates (accidents/
year) are being considered for safety related improvements.
There are 16 sections in this category.

MAINTENANCE FACTORS
Keeping the road open in winter is the single greatest maintenance problem faced in Logan Canyon.
In the narrower parts
of the canyon, there is nowhere to push the snow but into
the river.
Where snow can be plowed to only one side of the
road, plows must move across both traffic lanes. This creates
a potential safety hazard, particularly when coupled with
low visibility due to curves and snow. Winds and steep slopes
in the canyon also create maintenance problems with drifting
and slides.
Some flooding along the road occurs occasionally
during spring runoff.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES, CHARACTERISTICS, AND PROJECTIONS
Traffic volumes for Logan Canyon were obtain ed from the permanent counting station located at Card Ranger ~tation from
1974 to 1983, and just west of Garden City from 1983 on.

Table 2 shows the variation in traffic volume over the entire
project route.
It can be seen that in winter, counts at the
permanent station near the east end of the route were less
than half the volumes at the west end of the route (34 percent and 44 percent). This indicates that there is/are substantial traffic generators (origins/destinations) within
the canyon - Beaver Mountain ski area, cross-country skiing,
snow mobiling and other winter recreation destinations.
The
summer volumes also show lower volumes on the east end than
on the west end of the route, (81 percent and 79 percent).
Since the summer time east end volumes are closer to west
end volumes than in winter, this suggests that recreation
within the canyon is less of a traffic generator in summer
than in winter. Most summer traffic in the Canyon is
through traffic.
Table 3 gives the percentage composition of tra!fic by vehicle
type at three counting stations. Passenger cars and light
trucks can be grouped together since their operation is
similar. The relatively high percentage of recreation
vehicles and trucks combined have significant consequences
for a two-lane road with many locations of limited sightdistance for passing and considerable road gradient (see
Roadway Conditions).

Because of economic and other considerations, highways are
normally not designed to accommodate the highest hours of
traffic volume during the year, which .ay happen infrequently,
but instead are designed for a lower volume hour that occurs
.ore often.
UDOT nor.ally uses the 30th highest hourly volume
for the design hour volume (DIN). As is shown in Figure J,
the 30th highest volume hour for this study road segment is
consistent with hourly volumes immediately above and below
it, so little would be gained by choosing a different hourly
volume for the DIiV. The 30th highest hourly volume, about
14 percent of the average summer traffic, will therefore he
used as the hourly volume for which any improvements will be
designed.

CAPACITY ANALYSIS
".
Highway capacity analysis is the estimation of the maximum
amount of traffic that can be carried by a given length of
highway at various operational qualities. Six categories of
road operational quality are defined as Levels of Service
(LOS) "A" through "F", "A" being the best operational conditions, F being the worst. Criteria for levels of service
address the freedom to move along a roadway without interference from other vehicles. Once estimated; these road
capacities can be compared with existing and projected
traffic volumes to determine the current and future ability
of the road to carry the traffic.
2S
The methodology used to analyze the traffic capacity of
U.S. 89 through the canyon is published in the Transportation Research Board report, "Highway Capacity Manual, Special
Report 209." A "general terrain" methodology, which is based

on average terrain, geOMetrics and traffic conditions, vas
applied to the highway study aection. For conditions above
or below the average of these elements, the capacity was
increased or decreased.
Under ideal operational conditions,
capacity for a two-lane road is 2,800 vehicles per hour (vph).
The results of the analysis are given in Table 4.

Various techniques are used to project future traffic volumes.
All techniques rely on certain assumptions to provide the
basis of the forecast.
This study selected a past trends
technique, which assumes that the trend established by past
changes in traffic volume will generally continue into the
future.
Forecasts prepared using this method show an
increase in summer traffic volume of approximately
2 percent. The summer ADT in the year 2010 is projected to
be approximately 5800, a 75 percent increase over the
present.
Figure 4 shows that these figures compare very
favorably to projections based on the current baseline
population projections for the Wasatch Front and Bear River
areas developed by the State of Utah. These areas are projected to experience population increases averaging 1.95 percent compounded annually.
Using a projected annual growth
rate of 1.95 percent, the ADT in Logan Canyon at the Card
Guard Station would increase from 3,276 vehicles per day in
1980 to 5,847 vehicles per day in 2010. A summer ADT of
5,800 will therefore be used as the projected ADT for this
study.

D
U.S. 89 LOGAN CANYON
By comparing these capacities with the selected design hour
volume (DIN) based on present summer traffic volumes of
between 370 and 425 vehicles per hour (vph) and a OHV based
on projected summer traffic volumes of 545 to 627 vph, it
can be seen in Table 5 that the road is currently operating
during the summer at Level of Service D. By 2005, summer
operational conditions will have deteriorated in all segments
of the road to Level of Service E. This means that the road
is currently over its capacity to carry its traffic without
substantial delays occurring 75 percent or more of the time.
With future traffic volumes, delays on the road can be expected more than 75 percent of the time.
CONCLUSIONS ABOUT TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
An examination of highway characteristics for the study section
of road suggests that the high number of curves resulting in
limited visibility, which prevents passing, and substandard
lane and shoulder widths are the greatest cause of the capacity
problem. The large proportion of recreational vehicles and
other slower vehicles of the total traffic volume is also a
significant contributor to the problem that may increase in
the future.
If it is desirable to accommodate present and projected
vehicle loads in Logan Canyon through the year 2010 at a
level of service higher than "OW or WE," it will be necessary to improve problem areas of the roadway in some manner.
This can best be accomplished by increasing passing opportunities and widening traffic lanes and shoulders, thus
helping to prevent the formation of vehicle platoons and
allowing traffic to move more freely through the canyon.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS
On August 26, the environmental and engineering staff of
CH2M HILL working on the Logan Canyon project toured the
Highway 89 study section with representatives of various
local enviro~ntal groups and the U.S. Forest Service. The
purpose of the tour was for the engineering consultant to
gain a preliminary understanding of what environmental issues
and concerns need to be considered in the development of
improvement plans for the canyon.
The following s\l~ary of the findings is preliminary because
other opportunit1es for public input regardi.ng environmental
~oncerns will occur prior to the selection of the preferred
~mprovement alternatives and prior to the environmental analysis of the project. Nevertheless, it is important for the
consultant to be aware, prior to any development of improvement alternatives, what are considered to be the most important and sensitive environmental resources of the canyon.
During the tour, it was suggested by some present that the
Canyon should be treated as a recreational corridor (a destination) rather than as a transportation link (a conduit
for traffic). Recreational use of the corridor should be
given priority over transportation use whenever a decision
involving trade-offs is to be made in the study. Recreational
use . d~a~s with visual resources, fishery habitat, recreational
fac11~t1es, vegetation, and possibly other environmental
elements.
It was also pointed out that a special ambience exists in
the lower part of the study route (Right Fork to below Lower
Twin Bridge), created by the narrm" canyon walls, sheer rock
cliffs, and tree canopy. Although the existing highway has
been constructed through the canyon, other signs of human
alteration are minimal. A number of specific elements that
contribute to this overall ambience were identified.
o
Visual - . concern regarding road cuts and fills;
destruct~on of focal points and existing fields of
v~ew; introduction of artificial features; imposit10n of human alterations upon a relatively natura).
setting
o
Recreation - protection of campgrounds, picnic
areas and features of interest (springs, caves,
etc.); provision of necessary facilities at interest points (parking, restrooms, etc.); bicycle
safety; protection of fisheries
•
o
River Protection - as a visual element; as a water
body; as fishery habitat; as a recreational resource
The tour progressed through the canyon from Logan to Bear
Lake viewpoint w~t~ stops a~ong the way to address specific
concerns ~t sens~t1ve locat~ons where road improvements were
proposed 1n the past. The area from Right Fork to Tony Grove,
the summit, and the Bear Lake viewpoint are the locations on
the route that are most sensitive.
Concern was cited that slopes in the lower canyon are so
steep that cuts for the purpose of road widening can result
in serious slope instability and slides. Avalanches can
also be a problem in winter.
Installation of guardrails in
some places on the road has decreased site distance, cutting
utilization of the few good passing locations.
In other
locations, their installation has eliminated views of the
river.
As additional concerns and issues relating to possible road
improvements in the canyon become identified, they will be
reported in project fact sheets, press releases, and public
meetings.

SUMMARY FACT SHEET HIGHWAY U.S. 89 - LOGAN CANYON STUDY NOVEMBER 1986 Utah Department of Transportation (UOOT) CH2M HILL Engineering Consultants INTRODUCTION UDOT has contracted with CH2M HILL for a study of US-89 in Logan Canyon. The objective of the study is to evaluate transportation needs, develop improvement alternatives and to conduct an environmental evaluation of the alternative concepts . Findings of each step of this study will be reported to the public through a public involvement program, of which this fact sheet is a part. Previously circulated information about this study is available at the Logan Public Library, Utah State University Library and Valley Engineering in Logan; U.S. Forest Service in Ogden; and CH2M HILL and UOOT offices in Salt Lake City. The purpose of this fact sheet is to report the preliminary findings of the first task of the study. A report on the preliminary identification of public concerns/issues regarding potential improvements to U.S. Highway 89 in Logan Canyon from Right Hand Fork east to Garden City is also included. Questions about the following information or the project in general may also be directed to Gale Larson, Valley Engineering, in Logan at 753-0153 or Cliff Forsgren, CH2M HILL, in Salt Lake City at 363-0200. REPORT ON TRANSPORTATION NEEDS The first task of the study, the determination of transportation needs on Highway 89 through the canyon, was to identify existing roadway conditions; examine accident records for the road; identify maintenance problems; identify traffic volumes and characteristics; project future volumes; and determine road capacity. The conclusions drawn from analyzing this information include the location and nature of specific highway safety hazards; the capability of the existing road to carry present and future traffic volumes; and what probå_lems exist that may keep the highway from functioning at a reasonable operational level. This information will be the basis for the second task of the study, the development of alternative improvements, if improvements are found to be needed. EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS Design conditions of the road that affect traffic flow inå_clude cross-section elements, roadway curvature, roadway gradient, and the width of and access to the highway rightå_of- way. These are generally referred to as roadway geometrics. Data for cross-section elements show the road section between Right Fork and Tony Grove as being well below standard in terms of width of traffic lanes, shoulders, surfacing slopes, and ditches. The other sections, while below standard, are not as seriously so. Roadway curvature results in limited visibility and reduced speeds. The curves of each road section were categorized by their recommended speed. The section from Right Fork to Tony Grove ranked highest in the number of curves and in their severity, followed by the section from the Cache-Rich County line to Garden City. Gradient describes how fast a highway climbs or descends in elevation. The section from Tony Grove to Garden City has gradients of 6 to 7 percent over 31 percent of its distance. The majority of the road from Logan to Tony Grove has gradients from 0 to 3 percent. SAFETY ANALYSIS The highway has been examined to identify specific locations, or general conditions which may be contributing to traffic accidents in the Canyon. To do this, the consultant examined the number, type and location of accidents in the study section from 1980 thrugh 1985. The hgihway was divided into 374 secå_tions of 0.10 mile each. The average number of accidents per year for each section were then computed. Those sections with significantly higher than average accident rates (accidents/ year) are being considered for safety related improvements. There are 16 sections in this category. MAINTENANCE FACTORS Keeping the road open in winter is the single greatest mainå_tenance problem faced in Logan Canyon. In the narrower parts of the canyon, there is nowhere to push the snow but into the river. Where snow can be plowed to only one side of the road, plows must move across both traffic lanes. This creates a potential safety hazard, particularly when coupled with low visibility due to curves and snow. Winds and steep slopes in the canyon also create maintenance problems with drifting and slides. Some flooding along the road occurs occasionally during spring runoff. TRAFFIC VOLUMES, CHARACTERISTICS, AND PROJECTIONS Traffic volumes for Logan Canyon were obtained from the perå_manent counting station located at Card Ranger ~tation from 1974 to 1983, and just west of Garden City from 1983 on. Additionally, ~anual counts were taken at several points within the canyon during 1986 to provide .ore detailed charå_acteristics of the traffic flow. Table 1 ahows the annual average vehicles per day (AnT) and su~er average vehicles per day on the road.

It can be seen that in winter, counts at the permanent station near the east end of the route were less than half the volumes at the west end of the route (34 perå_cent and 44 percent). This indicates that there is/are subå_stantial traffic generators (origins/destinations) within the canyon - Beaver Mountain ski area, cross-country skiing, snow mobiling and other winter recreation destinations. The summer volumes also show lower volumes on the east end than on the west end of the route, (81 percent and 79 percent). Since the summer time east end volumes are closer to west end volumes than in winter, this suggests that recreation within the canyon is less of a traffic generator in summer than in winter. Most summer traffic in the Canyon is through traffic.

Passenger cars and light trucks can be grouped together since their operation is similar. The relatively high percentage of recreation vehicles and trucks combined have significant consequences for a two-lane road with many locations of limited sightå_distance for passing and considerable road gradient (see Roadway Conditions).

UDOT nor.ally uses the 30th highest hourly volume for the design hour volume (DIN). As is shown in Figure J, the 30th highest volume hour for this study road segment is consistent with hourly volumes immediately above and below it, so little would be gained by choosing a different hourly volume for the DIiV. The 30th highest hourly volume, about 14 percent of the average summer traffic, will therefore he used as the hourly volume for which any improvements will be designed. 30,-------~r_------_r--------~--------r_------_y------__, ". 2S .a åá+----------jl-------~------~ -------~ .--------_I-------___l 0~--------~--------+--------1---------_I -------_4--------~ o 10 20 30 .0 50 GO '~ighest Hours of the Year lEGEND o a .AVI[AAGE or .JUNE.

All techniques rely on certain assumptions to provide the basis of the forecast. This study selected a past trends technique, which assumes that the trend established by past changes in traffic volume will generally continue into the future. Forecasts prepared using this method show an increase in summer traffic volume of approximately 2 percent. The summer ADT in the year 2010 is projected to be approximately 5800, a 75 percent increase over the present. Figure 4 shows that these figures compare very favorably to projections based on the current baseline population projections for the Wasatch Front and Bear River areas developed by the State of Utah. These areas are proå_jected to experience population increases averaging 1.95 perå_cent compounded annually. Using a projected annual growth rate of 1.95 percent, the ADT in Logan Canyon at the Card Guard Station would increase from 3,276 vehicles per day in 1980 to 5,847 vehicles per day in 2010. A summer ADT of 5,800 will therefore be used as the projected ADT for this study. ~ < Q YEAR It~O '010 I I I Y V I / I I V V I I lEGENO ECONOMIC' POPUlAT ION ,IIENO 9"5EO FOAEC"ST PAST TAENO 8"Så£ 0 fOilå£C"Sl nGURE 4 US - 59 PAST TREND VS ECONOMC AND POPULATlO~ ADT FORECAST CAPACITY ANALYSIS Highway capacity analysis is the estimation of the maximum amount of traffic that can be carried by a given length of highway at various operational qualities. Six categories of road operational quality are defined as Levels of Service (LOS) "A" through "F", "A" being the best operational conå_ditions, F being the worst. Criteria for levels of service address the freedom to move along a roadway without interå_ference from other vehicles. Once estimated; these road capacities can be compared with existing and projected traffic volumes to determine the current and future ability of the road to carry the traffic. The methodology used to analyze the traffic capacity of U.S. 89 through the canyon is published in the Transportaå_tion Research Board report, "Highway Capacity Manual, Special Report 209." A "general terrain" methodology, which is based Level of Service A n C D E Table 4 CAPACITY .AT EACtI LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR LOGAN CANYON PRESENT ROAOWAY CONDITIONS Segment 1 53 191 386 629 1508 Maximum Vehicles Per lIour Segment 2 68 174 306 538 1152 Segment 3 165 267 461 10~6 on average terrain, geOMetrics and traffic conditions, vas applied to the highway study aection. For conditions above or below the average of these elements, the capacity was increased or decreased. Under ideal operational conditions, capacity for a two-lane road is 2,800 vehicles per hour (vph). The results of the analysis are given in Table 4. By comparing these capacities with the selected design hour volume (DIN) based on present summer traffic volumes of between 370 and 425 vehicles per hour (vph) and a OHV based on projected summer traffic volumes of 545 to 627 vph, it can be seen in Table 5 that the road is currently operating during the summer at Level of Service D. By 2005, summer operational conditions will have deteriorated in all segments of the road to Level of Service E. This means that the road is currently over its capacity to carry its traffic without substantial delays occurring 75 percent or more of the time. With future traffic volumes, delays on the road can be exå_pected more than 75 percent of the time. CONCLUSIONS ABOUT TRANSPORTATION NEEDS An examination of highway characteristics for the study section of road suggests that the high number of curves resulting in limited visibility, which prevents passing, and substandard lane and shoulder widths are the greatest cause of the capacity problem. The large proportion of recreational vehicles and other slower vehicles of the total traffic volume is also a significant contributor to the problem that may increase in the future. If it is desirable to accommodate present and projected vehicle loads in Logan Canyon through the year 2010 at a level of service higher than "OW or WE," it will be neceså_sary to improve problem areas of the roadway in some manner. This can best be accomplished by increasing passing opporå_tunities and widening traffic lanes and shoulders, thus helping to prevent the formation of vehicle platoons and allowing traffic to move more freely through the canyon. Specific methods of achieving these improvements will be developed in the next step of the study, the development of improvement alternatives.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION
STUDY OF U.S. HIGHWAY 89 THROUGH LOGAN CANYON
UTAH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION
PURPOSE
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has the responsibility of maintaining all state and federal highways in a
condition that will allow safe transportation. A number of
specific sites along U.S. Highway 89 in Logan Canyon have
been identified by UDOT as requiring repair in the near future to provide safe transportation in the Canyon. Much of
the highway in the Canyon lies within the Cache National
Forest, which is administered by the U.S. Forest Service
(USFS) who must approve all work on the road beyond routine
maintenance. As a result of these currently needed repairs
and other perceived problems, UDOT and USFS have agreed that
an overall transportation plan for the Canyon is necessary
and that a comprehensive study of the possible problems and
needed repairs/improvements should be conducted rather than
examining each site independently as major problems occur.
To begin, UDOT selected CH2M HILL, a consulting firm of
Engineers, Planners, Economists, and Scientists with offices
in Salt Lake City and other communities throughout the country
to conduct the study. Valley Engineering, Inc. of Logan is
a major subcontractor.
This study has three major objectives:
o
To identify locations on the road where problems
in safety, maintenance, road design, and capacity
occur, and to document these problems.
o
To propose several alternative means, through repair
or improvements, to correct the problems.
o
To conduct an analysis of the potential impacts of
the proposed alternatives on the environment.
BACKGROUND
This portion of U.S. 89 has been under scrutiny by UDOT for
some time because of congestion, accidents, and maintenance
problems. The highway has been on UDOT's schedule for improvement since the late 1950s. In 1961, improvements were
made to the road between Logan and DeWitt Springs.
In 1969,
the section between DeWitt Springs and Right Hand Fork was
improved. Pre-design work on improvements between Right
Hand Fork and Ricks Springs was completed in late 1968, but
following passage of the National Environmental Policy Act
1
�(NEPA) in 1969, local concern showed the necessity to reevaluate the project. The Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) determined in 1972 that an environmental impact statement (EIS) would be required for the project in accordance
with NEPA. At this time, the project consisted of improvements to the road that would result in a 4-lane highway.
Considerable study of the project intended to conclude in a
draft EIS continued until April 1979. The original 4-lane
highway concept was discarded for one that would widen the
pavement from the existing 22 feet to 34 feet, provide a
5-foot cut ditch, and raise the design speed from 35 to
40 miles per hour. As a result of that change, the FHWA
reclassified the project to require only an environmental
assessment rather than a full EIS. Again, local concern
(involving the environmental community), over the reclassification of the project resulted in the FHWA revising its
decision and requiring a full EIS for the project. Changes
to NEPA adopted by Congress in 1977 resulted in revision of
all federal agency guidelines for the preparation of EIS.
UDOT therefore suspended work on the EIS in 1980 to await
the new directives, and is now reactivating the process.
DESCRIPTION OF STUDY
The first task is to analyze travel constraints in the Canyon,
including safety, maintenance costs, points of substandard
design, and congestion. Accident reports will be reviewed
in an attempt to determine the cause, and accident rates
will be compared with those of comparable roads in the state.
Locations with abnormally high maintenance costs will be
evaluated. This analysis will include calculation of permile costs for the entire length of road, identification of
specific sites of unusually high costs, and comparison of
these costs with statewide road maintenance costs. Highway
segments where the road geometrics may be inadequate for the
overall design speed will be inventoried and assessed. Finally, the degree and occurrence of congestion on the road
will be determined by identifying the road capacity and
evaluating current traffic volumes. The level of service
that can be provided on the existing highway in year 2010,
with expected traffic increases, will be projected. A report will be prepared explaining the findings of this part
of the study.
The second task will be to prepare a transportation plan for
the corridor, including up to six alternative concepts. The
alternatives will consider specific repairs or improvement
plans for sites where problems have been identified including
spot improvements, resurfacing, new signing, reconstruction
along the existing alignment, and widening of the existing
2
�roadway between Right-Hand Fork and Garden City. Such
widening might include slow-moving vehicle lanes, passing
lanes, or minor alignment changes. From Bear Lake Summit to
Garden City, the plan will consider the location of two
totally new, alternative routes, one to the north of the
existing road and one to the south. Each alternative will
be evaluated in terms of costs and benefits, including construction costs, reduction of travel time, vehicle and road
maintenance costs, safety, aesthetics, and recreational factors.
General environmental trade-offs and a comparison of engineering requirements for each alternative will also be incorporated into the technical report prepared upon completion of this study task.
Major geologic features of the study corridor will be identified and a geotechnical analysis conducted. A description
of engineering conditions of the soils and geology as they
relate to possible construction and maintenance problems
will result from the analysis. Northern Engineering and
Testing of Salt Lake City is a subcontractor to CH2M HILL
for the geotechnical work.
An environmental analysis will then be conducted. A full
environmental impact statement may ultimately be required.
The environmental analysis will include participation of
interest groups, agencies, and the general public to identify major issues to be investigated in the analysis.
The
analysis will be based on literature review and field studies and will identify possible impacts of each project
alternative and suggest mitigation measures.

PROJECT INTRODUCTION STUDY OF U.S. HIGHWAY 89 THROUGH LOGAN CANYON UTAH DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION PURPOSE The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has the responsibility of maintaining all state and federal highways in a condition that will allow safe transportation. A number of specific sites along U.S. Highway 89 in Logan Canyon have been identified by UDOT as requiring repair in the near future to provide safe transportation in the Canyon. Much of the highway in the Canyon lies within the Cache National Forest, which is administered by the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) who must approve all work on the road beyond routine maintenance. As a result of these currently needed repairs and other perceived problems, UDOT and USFS have agreed that an overall transportation plan for the Canyon is necessary and that a comprehensive study of the possible problems and needed repairs/improvements should be conducted rather than examining each site independently as major problems occur. To begin, UDOT selected CH2M HILL, a consulting firm of Engineers, Planners, Economists, and Scientists with offices in Salt Lake City and other communities throughout the country to conduct the study. Valley Engineering, Inc. of Logan is a major subcontractor. This study has three major objectives: o To identify locations on the road where problems in safety, maintenance, road design, and capacity occur, and to document these problems. o To propose several alternative means, through repair or improvements, to correct the problems. o To conduct an analysis of the potential impacts of the proposed alternatives on the environment. BACKGROUND This portion of U.S. 89 has been under scrutiny by UDOT for some time because of congestion, accidents, and maintenance problems. The highway has been on UDOT's schedule for improvement since the late 1950s. In 1961, improvements were made to the road between Logan and DeWitt Springs. In 1969, the section between DeWitt Springs and Right Hand Fork was improved. Pre-design work on improvements between Right Hand Fork and Ricks Springs was completed in late 1968, but following passage of the National Environmental Policy Act 1 (NEPA) in 1969, local concern showed the necessity to reevaluate the project. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) determined in 1972 that an environmental impact statement (EIS) would be required for the project in accordance with NEPA. At this time, the project consisted of improvements to the road that would result in a 4-lane highway. Considerable study of the project intended to conclude in a draft EIS continued until April 1979. The original 4-lane highway concept was discarded for one that would widen the pavement from the existing 22 feet to 34 feet, provide a 5-foot cut ditch, and raise the design speed from 35 to 40 miles per hour. As a result of that change, the FHWA reclassified the project to require only an environmental assessment rather than a full EIS. Again, local concern (involving the environmental community), over the reclassification of the project resulted in the FHWA revising its decision and requiring a full EIS for the project. Changes to NEPA adopted by Congress in 1977 resulted in revision of all federal agency guidelines for the preparation of EIS. UDOT therefore suspended work on the EIS in 1980 to await the new directives, and is now reactivating the process. DESCRIPTION OF STUDY The first task is to analyze travel constraints in the Canyon, including safety, maintenance costs, points of substandard design, and congestion. Accident reports will be reviewed in an attempt to determine the cause, and accident rates will be compared with those of comparable roads in the state. Locations with abnormally high maintenance costs will be evaluated. This analysis will include calculation of permile costs for the entire length of road, identification of specific sites of unusually high costs, and comparison of these costs with statewide road maintenance costs. Highway segments where the road geometrics may be inadequate for the overall design speed will be inventoried and assessed. Finally, the degree and occurrence of congestion on the road will be determined by identifying the road capacity and evaluating current traffic volumes. The level of service that can be provided on the existing highway in year 2010, with expected traffic increases, will be projected. A report will be prepared explaining the findings of this part of the study. The second task will be to prepare a transportation plan for the corridor, including up to six alternative concepts. The alternatives will consider specific repairs or improvement plans for sites where problems have been identified including spot improvements, resurfacing, new signing, reconstruction along the existing alignment, and widening of the existing 2 roadway between Right-Hand Fork and Garden City. Such widening might include slow-moving vehicle lanes, passing lanes, or minor alignment changes. From Bear Lake Summit to Garden City, the plan will consider the location of two totally new, alternative routes, one to the north of the existing road and one to the south. Each alternative will be evaluated in terms of costs and benefits, including construction costs, reduction of travel time, vehicle and road maintenance costs, safety, aesthetics, and recreational factors. General environmental trade-offs and a comparison of engineering requirements for each alternative will also be incorporated into the technical report prepared upon com-pletion of this study task. Major geologic features of the study corridor will be identified and a geotechnical analysis conducted. A description of engineering conditions of the soils and geology as they relate to possible construction and maintenance problems will result from the analysis. Northern Engineering and Testing of Salt Lake City is a subcontractor to CH2M HILL for the geotechnical work. An environmental analysis will then be conducted. A full environmental impact statement may ultimately be required.

Thistle Flood With Highway 89 Submerged on April 18, 1983
Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Title
A name given to the resource
Thistle School Building Ruins on June 21, 1985
Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

RECORDED
The first task of the study, the determination of transportation needs on Highway 89 through the canyon, was to identify
existing roadway conditions; examine accident records for
the road; identify maintenance problems; identify traffic
volumes and characteristics; project future volumes; and
determine road capacity. The conclusions drawn from analyzing
this information include the location and nature of specific
highway safety hazards; the capability of the existing road
to carry present and future traffic volumes; and what problems exist that may keep the highway from functioning at a
reasonable operational level. This information will be the
basis for the second task of the study, the development of
alternative improvements, if improvements are found to be
needed.

EXISTING ROADWAY CONDITIONS
Design conditions of the road that affect traffic flow include cross-section elements, roadway curvature, roadway
gradient, and the width of and access to the highway rightof-way. These are generally referred to as roadway geometrics.
Data for cross-section elements show the road section between
Right Fork and Tony Grove as being well below standard in
terms of width of traffic lanes, shoulders, surfacing slopes,
and ditches.
The other sections, while below standard, are
not as seriously so.
Roadway curvature results in limited visibility and reduced
speeds.
The curves of each road section were categorized by
their recommended speed. The section from Right Fork to
Tony Grove ranked highest in the number of curves and in
their severity, followed by the section from the Cache-Rich
County line to Garden City. Gradient describes how fast a
highway climbs or descends in elevation. The section from
Tony Grove to Garden City has gradients of 6 to 7 percent
over 31 percent of its distance.
The majority of the road
from Logan to Tony Grove has gradients from 0 to 3 percent.

SAFETY ANALYSIS
10 . 5
a..
The highway has been examined to identify specific locations,
or general conditions which may be contributing to traffic
accidents in the Canyon. To do this, the consultant examined
the number, type and location of accidents in the study section
from 1980 thrugh 1985. The hgihway was divided into 374 sections of 0.10 mile each. The average number of accidents
per year for each section were then computed. Those sections
with significantly higher than average accident rates (accidents/
year) are being considered for safety related improvements.
There are 16 sections in this category.

MAINTENANCE FACTORS
Keeping the road open in winter is the single greatest maintenance problem faced in Logan Canyon.
In the narrower parts
of the canyon, there is nowhere to push the snow but into
the river.
Where snow can be plowed to only one side of the
road, plows must move across both traffic lanes. This creates
a potential safety hazard, particularly when coupled with
low visibility due to curves and snow. Winds and steep slopes
in the canyon also create maintenance problems with drifting
and slides.
Some flooding along the road occurs occasionally
during spring runoff.
TRAFFIC VOLUMES, CHARACTERISTICS, AND PROJECTIONS
Traffic volumes for Logan Canyon were obtain ed from the permanent counting station located at Card Ranger ~tation from
1974 to 1983, and just west of Garden City from 1983 on.

Table 2 shows the variation in traffic volume over the entire
project route.
It can be seen that in winter, counts at the
permanent station near the east end of the route were less
than half the volumes at the west end of the route (34 percent and 44 percent). This indicates that there is/are substantial traffic generators (origins/destinations) within
the canyon - Beaver Mountain ski area, cross-country skiing,
snow mobiling and other winter recreation destinations.
The
summer volumes also show lower volumes on the east end than
on the west end of the route, (81 percent and 79 percent).
Since the summer time east end volumes are closer to west
end volumes than in winter, this suggests that recreation
within the canyon is less of a traffic generator in summer
than in winter. Most summer traffic in the Canyon is
through traffic.
Table 3 gives the percentage composition of tra!fic by vehicle
type at three counting stations. Passenger cars and light
trucks can be grouped together since their operation is
similar. The relatively high percentage of recreation
vehicles and trucks combined have significant consequences
for a two-lane road with many locations of limited sightdistance for passing and considerable road gradient (see
Roadway Conditions).

Because of economic and other considerations, highways are
normally not designed to accommodate the highest hours of
traffic volume during the year, which .ay happen infrequently,
but instead are designed for a lower volume hour that occurs
.ore often.
UDOT nor.ally uses the 30th highest hourly volume
for the design hour volume (DIN). As is shown in Figure J,
the 30th highest volume hour for this study road segment is
consistent with hourly volumes immediately above and below
it, so little would be gained by choosing a different hourly
volume for the DIiV. The 30th highest hourly volume, about
14 percent of the average summer traffic, will therefore he
used as the hourly volume for which any improvements will be
designed.

CAPACITY ANALYSIS
".
Highway capacity analysis is the estimation of the maximum
amount of traffic that can be carried by a given length of
highway at various operational qualities. Six categories of
road operational quality are defined as Levels of Service
(LOS) "A" through "F", "A" being the best operational conditions, F being the worst. Criteria for levels of service
address the freedom to move along a roadway without interference from other vehicles. Once estimated; these road
capacities can be compared with existing and projected
traffic volumes to determine the current and future ability
of the road to carry the traffic.
2S
The methodology used to analyze the traffic capacity of
U.S. 89 through the canyon is published in the Transportation Research Board report, "Highway Capacity Manual, Special
Report 209." A "general terrain" methodology, which is based

on average terrain, geOMetrics and traffic conditions, vas
applied to the highway study aection. For conditions above
or below the average of these elements, the capacity was
increased or decreased.
Under ideal operational conditions,
capacity for a two-lane road is 2,800 vehicles per hour (vph).
The results of the analysis are given in Table 4.
YEAR

Various techniques are used to project future traffic volumes.
All techniques rely on certain assumptions to provide the
basis of the forecast.
This study selected a past trends
technique, which assumes that the trend established by past
changes in traffic volume will generally continue into the
future.
Forecasts prepared using this method show an
increase in summer traffic volume of approximately
2 percent. The summer ADT in the year 2010 is projected to
be approximately 5800, a 75 percent increase over the
present.
Figure 4 shows that these figures compare very
favorably to projections based on the current baseline
population projections for the Wasatch Front and Bear River
areas developed by the State of Utah. These areas are projected to experience population increases averaging 1.95 percent compounded annually.
Using a projected annual growth
rate of 1.95 percent, the ADT in Logan Canyon at the Card
Guard Station would increase from 3,276 vehicles per day in
1980 to 5,847 vehicles per day in 2010. A summer ADT of
5,800 will therefore be used as the projected ADT for this
study.
386
D
U.S. 89 LOGAN CANYON
By comparing these capacities with the selected design hour
volume (DIN) based on present summer traffic volumes of
between 370 and 425 vehicles per hour (vph) and a OHV based
on projected summer traffic volumes of 545 to 627 vph, it
can be seen in Table 5 that the road is currently operating
during the summer at Level of Service D. By 2005, summer
operational conditions will have deteriorated in all segments
of the road to Level of Service E. This means that the road
is currently over its capacity to carry its traffic without
substantial delays occurring 75 percent or more of the time.
With future traffic volumes, delays on the road can be expected more than 75 percent of the time.
CONCLUSIONS ABOUT TRANSPORTATION NEEDS
An examination of highway characteristics for the study section
of road suggests that the high number of curves resulting in
limited visibility, which prevents passing, and substandard
lane and shoulder widths are the greatest cause of the capacity
problem. The large proportion of recreational vehicles and
other slower vehicles of the total traffic volume is also a
significant contributor to the problem that may increase in
the future.
If it is desirable to accommodate present and projected
vehicle loads in Logan Canyon through the year 2010 at a
level of service higher than "OW or WE," it will be necessary to improve problem areas of the roadway in some manner.
This can best be accomplished by increasing passing opportunities and widening traffic lanes and shoulders, thus
helping to prevent the formation of vehicle platoons and
allowing traffic to move more freely through the canyon.

PRELIMINARY REPORT ON ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS
On August 26, the environmental and engineering staff of
CH2M HILL working on the Logan Canyon project toured the
Highway 89 study section with representatives of various
local enviro~ntal groups and the U.S. Forest Service. The
purpose of the tour was for the engineering consultant to
gain a preliminary understanding of what environmental issues
and concerns need to be considered in the development of
improvement plans for the canyon.
The following s\l~ary of the findings is preliminary because
other opportunit1es for public input regardi.ng environmental
~oncerns will occur prior to the selection of the preferred
~mprovement alternatives and prior to the environmental analysis of the project. Nevertheless, it is important for the
consultant to be aware, prior to any development of improvement alternatives, what are considered to be the most important and sensitive environmental resources of the canyon.
During the tour, it was suggested by some present that the
Canyon should be treated as a recreational corridor (a destination) rather than as a transportation link (a conduit
for traffic). Recreational use of the corridor should be
given priority over transportation use whenever a decision
involving trade-offs is to be made in the study. Recreational
use . d~a~s with visual resources, fishery habitat, recreational
fac11~t1es, vegetation, and possibly other environmental
elements.
It was also pointed out that a special ambience exists in
the lower part of the study route (Right Fork to below Lower
Twin Bridge), created by the narrm" canyon walls, sheer rock
cliffs, and tree canopy. Although the existing highway has
been constructed through the canyon, other signs of human
alteration are minimal. A number of specific elements that
contribute to this overall ambience were identified.
o
Visual - . concern regarding road cuts and fills;
destruct~on of focal points and existing fields of
v~ew; introduction of artificial features; imposit10n of human alterations upon a relatively natura).

o
Recreation - protection of campgrounds, picnic
areas and features of interest (springs, caves,
etc.); provision of necessary facilities at interest points (parking, restrooms, etc.); bicycle
safety; protection of fisheries
•
o
River Protection - as a visual element; as a water
body; as fishery habitat; as a recreational resource
The tour progressed through the canyon from Logan to Bear
Lake viewpoint w~t~ stops a~ong the way to address specific
concerns ~t sens~t1ve locat~ons where road improvements were
proposed 1n the past. The area from Right Fork to Tony Grove,
the summit, and the Bear Lake viewpoint are the locations on
the route that are most sensitive.
Concern was cited that slopes in the lower canyon are so
steep that cuts for the purpose of road widening can result
in serious slope instability and slides. Avalanches can
also be a problem in winter.
Installation of guardrails in
some places on the road has decreased site distance, cutting
utilization of the few good passing locations.
In other
locations, their installation has eliminated views of the
river.
As additional concerns and issues relating to possible road
improvements in the canyon become identified, they will be
reported in project fact sheets, press releases, and public
meetings.

Underwater Thistle Road Sign on April 23, 1983
Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

A name given to the resource
Thistle School Building on April 19, 1983
Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Title
A name given to the resource
Drainage Pipes at Thistle Lake on May 13, 1983
Description
An account of the resource
This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Title
A name given to the resource
Historic Photograph of the Thistle Townsite
Description
An account of the resource
An image from a collection that documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.
