On January 6, 1953, a military transport plane crashed at this site while transporting American Korean War soldiers from Seattle, Washington, to Fort Jackson, South Carolina. The plane was overfilled with soldiers eager to return home after having been away from their families for so long. Due to the way the military organized its transports, all the passengers had last names that started with H, J, and K. According to the flight log, the plane ended up carrying about 400 pounds more than it was designed for. Everything was fine when the pilot radioed in at Malad City, Idaho. But the plane was not heard from again. Air patrol and civilians began a search through the Bear River Mountains and found the remains of the plane in Pat Hollow. It had completely disintegrated on impact. There were no survivors, and little of the wreckage was even recognizable. When the remains were analyzed, the cause of the crash was determined to be ice that had formed on the wings, interfering with the plane's lift. The fact that the plane was overloaded added to the problem. It also appeared that the plane had entered the mountains from the southeast heading northwest, indicating they might have been trying to return to Malad for an emergency landing. Since the crash occurred in the middle of winter in an area with deep snow and low temperatures, removing all of the bodies proved extremely difficult. A base camp was set up and the site was guarded until spring when the Army removed the last of the human remains. In 1967, Gordon B. Hinckley of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints dedicated this memorial to the victims of the crash. No one was more affected by this tragedy than the relatives of the victims. In the following years, some traveled a great distance from their homes in southern states to visit this memorial site. Even today, visitors sometimes find pieces of wreckage, including items that once belonged to the passengers of the plane. Many decide to leave these tokens on top of the memorial.

Title A name given to the resource Power Lines and Flooded Building at Thistle Lake on December 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.

Households were charged per 40 watt light bulb used. The first bulb cost $1.25 per month, and each additional one cost 50 cents per month. Since there were no other power providers in the area, Hercules had a monopoly and charged what they wished. At a special election in 1902, citizens voted in favor of a $65,000 bond to allow the City of Logan to build a municipal power plant to provide power at lower rates. The city constructed a new hydroelectric dam, which today is called Second Dam. They charged 35 cents per light bulb or 3 lights for $1.00. The Hercules Power Company was not pleased at having competition. During the summer of 1903, in the middle of construction of the city's new power building, Hercules raised their dam 5 feet, which flooded a greater area, including where the new building was being constructed. Water flooded across the brand new floor of the building. Since the rights to the river were owned by the federal government, Logan City filed a federal application attempting to claim rights to the site, but Hercules had beaten them to it, filing an application only ten days before. After a heated debate, the federal government made a compromise and authorized both Hercules and Logan City to operate dams on the Logan River so long as they didn't interfere with one another. The monopoly was broken and Logan residents had two separate power providers competing for their money. A rate war ensued. Rates dropped to 20 cents per light, then to 10 cents. Running a power plant with less and less revenue became problematic. It was made worse by the fact that this was a time before metering. To determine their customers' bills, power companies would send a person called a “checker” to visit each house and count the number of lights and other electric appliances, such as toasters and irons. People paid per light and appliance, not for how long they used them, so no effort was made to conserve electricity. Furthermore, people were not always honest when checkers came to call. Appliances like toasters could be hidden away and, therefore not paid for. Electric metering helped solve many of these problems. And despite the difficulties of high demand and intense competition, Logan City's power plant has survived throughout the years. Today, about 10 percent of Logan's electricity is produced by the city’s hydroelectric power plants like the one here at Second Dam. As for the Hercules Power Plant, it is no longer in operation. Ownership of the plant changed hands several times over the years, and it ceased operation in 1971. In 1973, it was sold to Logan City for a public park.

Following background research, structured interviews were conducted with three core subjects to identify shared character and bie-historical traits. Int roduction: ... brief his tory of the issue In the spring of 1997, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) began the latest stage of a highway construction project that has been a source of political controversy in the Logan I Bear Lake region for three decades. UDOT's plan to rebuild and expand Route 89 through Logan Canyon spawned a spirited debate among citizens and officials; a debate that may continue for some time. The controversy stretches back at least to the 19605, which saw UDOT's widening of the road in lower Logan Canyon. and the dawn of a national environmental movement whose local manifestation led to delays and adjustments in subsequent highway construction in the canyon. For the first time, UnOT was required to develop an environmental impact statement on its proposed construction. Area citizens formed a group, Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon (CPLC). that opposed the original UDOT plan then. after modifications, agreed in 1995 to participate on the advisory team working with UDOT and other agencies toward an acceptable design plan. CPLC's decision to provisionally accept the revised UDOT plan led to a schi sm in the environmental community that saw the formation of the Logan Canyon Coaliti on (LCC), which proceeded to take legal action aimed at minimizing Logan Canyon highway construction to little more than bridge repairs. In early 1997 a third citizens' group, the Logan Canyon Improvement Group (LCIG), was �,. \ -2- \ created to counter the environmental groups and promote significant expansion of the Logan Canyon highway. At the time of this research report, in August 1997, UDOT construction crews were well into the repair and upgrading of two bridges in the canyon. i I ... scientific relevance of the issue· The ongoing Logan Canyon controversy provides a unique opportunity to study democracy in action; to examine the dynamics of individuals participating as citizens in the process of making decisions that affect their community. This study seeks to better understand why some citizens choose to become actively involved in the political system . At a time in U.S. history when fewer than half the eligible voters bother to cast a ballot in national eJections, I hope to identify key factors that motivate the politically-active minority to dedicate their personal time to the political fray . ... researcher's interest: I am a doctoral candidate at the Utah State University College of Education, currently on sabbatical leave from my social science teaching position at Alta High School, in Sandy, Utah. I wi ll spend the next nine months in India, studying models of citizenship education in the schools of that democratic nation. "Citi zenship" is a key concept underlying my interest in education. In my opinion, the most important function of American public schools is the generation of socially-responsible and productive citizens. My favorite aspect of being a teacher has been the sense that I facilitate the acquisition of infonnation and thinking skills by the next wave of decision-makers in our democratic system . ... An overview of this report: This report covers background infonnation about the political controversy, identifies methodological questions, issues, and procedures that were involved, summarizes biographical �• -3- Ii data on the core subjects, compares similarities and differences in traits of the core subjects, discusses findings and additional research issues, and provides extended comparative data in the appendices. Methodology : Literature Review: Literature concerning various political and technical components of the Logan Canyon controversy were obtained from several sources that included archival files at the Logan Herald Journal newspaper, publications of the Utah Department of Transportation. and newletters of the involved environmental organizations. Owing to time constraints, no literature search was conducted to located similar studies that may have been conducted elsewhere. There was also no effort to build a literature base of research that has addressed aspects of po litical activism. The project rationale, conceptual approach, and imple mentation plan are my responsibility. Resea rch Q uestio ns: While the controversy over the highway through Logan Canyon provided the topical setting for conducting the study. my essential focus was on personal attributes (traits) of persons who have chosen to get involved. From that standpoint, the Logan Canyon controversy is peripheral to the main thrust of this study. Logan Canyon was selected as a vehicle for studying politicallyactive citizens because of its continued high-profile salience in the region served by Utah State University, and the ease of access to key informants. This study looked specifically for identifiable personal character and bio-historical traits that lead indi viduals to commit volunteer time and efforts to a political cause. The research question, then. was: What character and/or bio-historical traits do politically-active adults have in common? �• -4- Research Issues: ... researcher bias Several biases were brought by me to the threshold of this research project. First, I consider activists a special breed. Whatever their political stripe, I consider them more important to democracy than those nominal citizens who don't even bother to vote. This is in part an ego-based bias, since I've participated in several campaigns myself, and since most of my friends are activists of some degree. This type of bias might have led to questions and interview style that were not sufficiently critical or aggressive. In deciding who would he the core-profiled subjects, I arbitrarily narrowed the field to those whose involvement in the Logan Canyon controversy is completely voluntary. Despite the availability of persons with potentially more knowledge of, and greater involvement with, the issue, I ruled out anyone with a job connection to, or direct financial interest in, the controversy. In my view. volunteers are the foundation of citizenship. r arbitrarily decided to have a representative from each of the three local citizens groups serve as a core-profile subject, and did not consider selecting anyone who may be active but is not a member of one of the groups. This was done as a matter of expedience. 1 arbitrarily decided to have at least one member of each sex represented in the group of core profile subjects, and was pleased at the wide age range of the core profile subj ects. The main concern here was achieving more character diversity. Lastly, I must confess to being anything but neutral on environmental issues. The environmentalist in my pantheon of heroes is Edward Abbey. Fortunately for this study, the particular environmental issue --Logan Canyon-- is of marginal relevance to my core research goal. I asked the core-profile subjects exactly the same questions, and tried to maintain the same interv iew demeanor with them all . ... time constraint A proper ethnographic study would entail at least several months worth of investigation and analysis. Since the initiation and final report of this study were required within the timeframe of �., • -5- summer quarter, the entire process has been expedited to meet the time constraint. Hopefully. the data gathering has been broad and deep enough for my narrative and analysis to place the issue, and the actors, into a meaningful context for the reader. Procedures: This study employed a two-stage approach toward data collection that spanned the months of June, July, and August 1997. In the first stage, I gathered information on the Logan Canyon situation from newspaper files at the Logan Herald-Journal, UDOT project documents, and literature from citizens groups involved on different sides of the controversy. This stage involved conducting purposive, semi-structured interviews with persons I determined to be key informants. Their names were gleaned from news articles, and from referrals by other informants. The purpose of stage one was to deepen my background knowledge of the issue through a process that would afford some triangulation validity, and to make sure I understood the different perspectives from which involved parties view the controversy. Travelling between interviews, I also had an opportunity to drive through Logan Canyon and witness both the natural splendor and the challenging highway conditions that figure into the debate over what to do. Background information was gained in interviews with state and local officials, and with members of the three local citizens groups active in this issue. Key informants in an official capacity included the mayor of the Bear Lake community of Garden City, Utah, and the Utah Department of Transportation's head engineer for the Logan Canyon project. Interviewees representing the citizens groups included: two members of the Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon (CPLC); three members of the Logan Canyon Coalition (LCC); and one member of the Logan Canyon Improvement Group (LCIG). I also gained valuable information and insights from LCIG members who spoke at the group's open meeting on July 21st, in Logan, Utah. All group representatives were interviewed in Logan, with the exception of one LCC member, who was interviewed in Ogden. The first stage interviews were semi-structured, in that a questionnaire was used that asked �-6- both specific and open-ended questions. I read the questions, and took notes as the subjects responded. No one objected to my tape-recording the conversations, although several asked me to tum off the recorder for moments of off-the-record infonnation. The respondents were first asked to summarize the history of the Logan Canyon controversy. Thi s data was used as an indicator of their depth of knowledge and perspective, and as a means to broaden my own understanding of the issues. They were then asked to identify the main players (key actors) on different sides of the debate. Questions that followed sought a description of the interviewee's position on Logan Canyon highway construction, details of their personal involvement, and the main motivation(s) for their participation. On several occasions. responses to these inqui ries led the interview into unexpected areas, such as connections drawn to the Provo Canyon controversy. states' rights issues, and organizational dynamics of both UDOT and the citizens' groups. I imagine one could write a book about the many political aspects and implications of what has transpired in the broader context of the logan Canyon controversy. In the second stage of this study. I narrowed the focus to the personal hi story and attributes of three individuals, each representing one of the three citizens' groups. All three met the criteri a of being sufficiently informed about Logan Canyon, all three have dedicated significant volunteer time to the controversy. and none have ajob or direct financial interest in its resolution. Each of these individuals was interviewed twice, using the first-stage and core-profile questionnaire fonns. The pseudonyms of the persons I selected for core profiles are: "Ezra", of the lCIG; "Vickie",ofCPlC; and "David", oflCC. The second stage, "core profile" interviews were more structured than the first stage interviews. In the interests of validity. I wanted to be sure that each subj ect received the same specific questions as the others. The four-page core profile questionnaire took between 60 - 90 minutes to complete. As was the case with the first stage, I asked questions from the questionnaire and noted responses on the same fonn. No one objected to my tape-recording the interviews. None of the questions mentioned logan Canyon. The three core respondents were asked �-7- biographical information that included: date and place of birth, residences and travels, education and work hi story, and details of their families of origin and procreation. I asked about parents', siblings" spouses', and childrens' occupations and education, as well as political affiliation, philosophy. issues, and activities. The last segment of the interview delved into the respondent's own hi story of civic and political activity, events and individuals who shaped their political beliefs, personal definition of "citi zenship" and conception of civic responsibi lity. Each was asked to explain their own motivation for political action, and whether they feel they've made a difference. Also raised were questions about levels of civic and political involvement in the United States today. and why many citizens do not get involved. They were asked whether the local (Cache Valley, Utah) culture faci litates or inhibits political expression. and if they had personally experienced hostility, stress, or other negative consequences of their civic and political activities. Finally, the three citizen activists were asked to identify the most rewarding aspects of their civic and political activities~ and each was asked how slhe wants to be remembered by hislher great grandchildren. Bioer'phic,' Sketches "Ezra" was born in Paris, Idaho on August 26, 19 12. Raised in Preston, Idaho, Ezra has res ided in Logan, Utah since 1932. He was stationed in Europe during World War 1I. Ezra worked almost 40 years as a linotype setter at the Herald Journal newspaper, in Logan, until a serious inj ury in 1974 forced a career change. He took carpentry and remodeling jobs until his retirement in 1996, at age 84. Ezra is now engaged in full-time political activism: a self-described "rabble rouser." His parents both worked for the postal service, and raised three chi ldren, of whom Ezra was the middle chi ld. Ezra comes from a solidly conservative Republican fami ly. He 'has kept that tradition alive since casting his first ballot (against FOR) in 1936. Ezra's fathe r spoke out on a variety of political issues. and had hi s mother's support ... much as Ezra has the tireless support �-8- \ of his wife today. He credits his parents with having most influenced hi s political beliefs. That generation of Ezra's family also featured two cousins [one paternal, one maternal] in Idaho who were politically outspoken. While Ezra's brother has been active in conservative politics as well, Ezra says hi s sole child (a stepson) prefers noninvolvement, believing that "all politicians are liars". Ezra's political interests range across a wide spectrum, and he is well-known as a regular writer of oftimes provocative letters to the Herald lournal and other Utah newspapers. Over many years of political activism, he has served as a Republican Party preci nct officer, taken part in the citizens effort to prevent construction of a Logan golf course and, most recently, co-founded the Logan Canyon Improvement Group. Once asked to run for local office, Ezra declined , stating that he preferred to remain an "outsider". Still, his living room wall boasts several certificates of appreciation from local and national organizations impressed with hi s efforts in the political realm. "Vickie" was born in Montreal, Canada, in October of 1942. She grew up and attended uni versity in Canada, then moved to the United States in the 1960s. Vickie fi rst arrived in Cache Valley, Utah in 1970, and has lived in Logan continuously since 1976. With degrees in biology and psychology, she has worked at Duke University and, having taken a career break to rai se a family, is now a school psychologist in the Logan area. Vickie became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1995. Explaining that she was raised in a "very 50s", apolitical family, Vickie is not aware of her parents' political affiliations. They voted, she says, but "never talked politics." Talking politics with her brother and sister is a challenge, since they both remain in Canada. Eldest of the three, Vickie is not familiar with Canadian politics, and her siblings are only slightly more aware of politics in the States. She characterizes her brother as conservative, and knows that her sister follows political issues that affect her business. Vickie describes herself as a liberal Democrat, adding that her Canadian-born husband shares the same values. Asked her son's and daughter's political affilia tion and philosophy, she would only di sclose that "they're not Young Republicans." Her daughter has worked for a college �.' -9- environment center, and her son follows zoning issues at his home in Park City, Utah. Vickie has a history of involvement with Canadian and U.S. environmental groups; most recently. Citi zens for the Protection of Logan Canyon. She was first sensitized to citizen initiative in U.S. politics in 1968, when a friend at Duke University sent money to support the campaign of Eugene McCarthy. Vietnam War protests also played an important role in her political socialization. "You couldn't help but take a side," she says. Lacking political direction from her parents, Vickie built a political philosophy from such authors as Paul Hawkins, Robertson Davies, and environmentalist Wallace Stegner. "David" was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, on June 9, 1970. He has lived in Logan, Utah since 1992. with the exception of 18 months spent in Jackson, Wyoming. David attended post-secondary schools in Utah. and is certified as an emergency medical technician and nursing assistant. He has worked with troubled youth as an outdoor acti vities instructor at Aspen Achievement Academy. in Bicknell. and is currently a mail carrier for the postal service. In his off hours, he volunteers time with handicapped children at a Logan elementary school, and with the science department at Logan Hi gh Schoo!.. David is the middle of five children --four boys, one girl-- raised by a father who works for a Salt Lake construction company and a mother who hand les mi ssionary assignments at the LDS (Monnon) Church headquarters. He comes from a solidly Republican family that ranges in philosophy from conservative father to David and an elder brother at the liberal end. Both parents have actively campaigned for Governor Mike Leavitt, and David's mother is past president of the local PTA. He admits, though, that his most po litically influentia1 mentor has been his elder brother, who was president of the University of Utah Young Republicans and supports liberal Republican candidates. A younger brother does volunteer work for Senator Robert Bennett. David is the family environmentalist. Most of the others "hate enviros", he says. While he is also concerned about the country's fiscal health, David's political initiatives have been linked primarily to the environment. He was involved in debates over bicycle lanes in Logan and �" -10- Jackson, has contributed time to the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and now serves as a spokesman for the Logan Canyon Coalition. His main concern is the "frontier mentality" of older residents who are willing to accept environmental destruction in return for jobs. David is supported by a like-minded wife, who divides her volunteer hours between Lee. a rape crisis center, and learning Spanish to assist in a local literacy program. They plan to have chi ldren someday.

For Ezra, citizenship is "a privilege ... a freedom" , "You should vote or you're a fool, and should keep your mouth shut." According to Vickie, "If you're going to be part of a community, you've got to participate." David feels that citizenship means "dedication to the community, without the expectation of reimbursement," adding that "Ezra ... is a good example" of citizenship . .. feel a personal sense of civic responsibility that requires action. To Ezra, it's an issue of "free agency"; and one must share information and ideas outside of the immediate family. Civic responsibility means being "good neighbors." Vickie holds that "voting is important, although it doesn't mean much; but, what is the alternative?" She says that "if you see a problem, you need to deal with it." David's sense of civic responsibility involves "donating time and money; interacting one-on-one with others in the community." .. are motivated to political action, in part, to right a perceived wrong. Ezra admits that there are "things that rub me wrong", and it's up to him to "flush out the termites." Vickie also notices when "things aren't right." "I feel like I can analyze the situation," she says, and feels she can have an impact. Plus, "I enjoy doing it, and the people I meet." David gets angry when he and his group are "mischaracterized" by opponents. In �-12- additional, he feels he is "very fortunate" and therefore obligated to work on behalf of those less fortWlate . .. can cite at least one political accomplishment ('victory'). For Ezra, it was rallying people against the golf course. Then there is the following he has generated among fellow residents. through his letters to the newspapers. Vickie is satisfied that Logan Canyon is being dealt with differently than if she had taken no action. And David feel s his input to the bike lanes debates at least caused people "to view things in a different light. " .. sense that there is a general attitude toward politics shared by the majority of Cache Valley residents, although the perceived nature of this attitude varied among respondents. From Ezra's perspective, "too many people want George to do it. " "People are afraid of what others will think of them ." Vickie senses a mono lithic political culture. "The vast majority of people think alike," she says. According to David, "it's the provincial mentality lhat I love and hate." "I Jike the slower pace," he says, and it's nice that you can talk to your neighbors. But, he is concerned that for many, it is "okay to be nai ve about the impacts of growth." .. menti oned positive social interaction as a rewarding aspect of their civic and political activities. People call Ezra and ask, "when are you going to write another letter?" [Look for it in the Herald Journal every 6th of the month.] Vickie says she enjoys her involvement because "I learn new things, and meet interesting people." For David, it's "getting people to look at something in a different light", and "putting a smile on someone's face." Dissimilarities - biographical differences: Ezra is the sole military veteran. �.. " -13 David and Vickie are college educated [she with an advanced degree] , as are their spouses, w hile Ezra and his wife are not. Ezra and Vickie have children. David does not. Ezra's and David's parents engaged in politics beyond voting, whi le Vickie's did not. Ezra's parents were both conservative, David's split conservative I moderate, and Vickie's "apolitical. " Ezra's stepson is not politically active. Vickie's two chi ldren are. David is child less. Ezra claims a conservative political philosophy. while Vickie and David identify themselves as liberal s. Ezra and David belong to the LDS (Mormon) Church. Vickie does not. Each cites different life events that influenced their political beliefs. For Ezra, it was an adverse reaction to the liberal policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt, along with anger at the minimum age labor law that deprived his farm of the "best beet workers." In Vickie's case, it was the Vietnam War and Watergate that sparked her interest. Dav id says "the first time I debated an issue" was when Governor Leavitt kept the tax on food , but cut property taxes. He adds that he was impressed by accounts of President Harry Truman's political principl es. Ezra and David both follow the pronouncements of political commentator Rush Limbaugh, although Ezra co unts himself a supporter and David simply appreciates Limbaugh's ability to "frame issues in a different light." Vickie did not mention Mr. Limbaugh. They have different ideas about the level of significance of their individual actions. Ezra points proudly to the certificates on his wall , attesting to the impact he's had . Although Vickie feels the impact of one person is rather small , when "the choice is to do something, or to do nothing," she rejects the latter. The important question is o ne of conscienc~ . David claims that, in the context of Logan Canyon, "we are saving the taxpayers money ... although the aesthetic gai n is not that great." �-14- Ezra and Vickie agreed that it is unfortunate more Americans aren't involved in civic and political activities. Ezra says that "people can make a difference, if they get active." On the other hand, David accepts that "some people won't ever get involved. no matter how bad things get." It has always been that way, he maintains. The three have different notions of why many citizens do not get involved. Ezra says that people think they "won't make a difference," and that their opinion doesn't count. Vickie adds that "people feel disenfranchised; they don't know what to do, or how to do it." She also notes that would-he participants know they're "up against powerful vested interests." Vickie and David agree that people have less time to get involved, because of jobs. He says it is important to remember that "some people make their contributions through work", and that "we also need to be sure we include people's church involvement" in the equation. Both Vickie and David spoke to the issue of campaign finance reform. Ezra did not raise that particul ar issue. Ezra and David said they have experienced hosti lity or other negat ive consequences from their civic and political activities. In Ezra's case, it has been l etters~to ~the ~editor that have critici zed him . He is energi zed by the criticism, though, and claimed "I'm real thickskinned. " David said that his car was egged a couple of times, and he sometimes tires of being called an "outsider" and "eco-terrori st" because he has different views. When asked how they want to be remembered by their great grandchildren, Vickie and David prefer a political epitaph. She would like them to know that she "was part of a movement to save natural areas." David hopes that a generation yet to appear wiU remember him as a "fighter for the future" who helped set things aside for them to enjoy. Ezra just wants his stepson's grandchildren to remember him "as their real [great] grandpa." �" '. -15- Additional Observations Ezra and David, who are on opposite sides of environmental issues, both affiliate with the Republican Party. as do their siblings. Vickie and David. who are relatively close in environmental perspective, affiliate with different po litical parti es; she is Democrat, he is Republican. Discussion of Results: The core-profile interview process yielded a broad set of character and bio-historical traits shared by the three subj ects. It is unlikely that all o f these commonly-held traits are causally- related to political activism Were I to extend this line of inquiry into the realm of quantitative research, I would probably seek to operationalize the following traits as variables in a broad survey of political activists. • number of siblings • clarity about political party identification • clarity about politi cal philosophy • supportive spouse • previous political involvement • concept of citi zenship • like/dislike o f social interaction From the standpoint of qualitative research, I would likely seek the replication of this activity, using a similar procedure with different political issues in other communities. Other Research Issues: The fin al stage of research for this report involved "member checking", in which each of the core.profi le subjects was given a draft of the report that included the comparative responses document that is attached, in pseudonymic format, as Appendix B. Unfortunately, the copy given the core·profil e subjects used their real names, which was admittedly a procedural ··if not �-16- ethical-- flaw on my part. During the course of member checking, minor corrections were made to the text. At this point, one of the core-profile subjects expressed strong discomfort at my mention of the possibility that the report might he published as a human interest story in the local newspaper. The continued political sensitivity of issues related to Logan Canyon was cited as the reason for the individual's concern. I agreed that I would not use this report as the basis for a newspaper article, and have marked the front page "Not For Local Publication." �Appendix A: Core Profile Questionnaire Profiles in Activism: Logan Canyon Co re Profile Name: Birthdate: Birthplace: Residences: Travels: Education: (spec. training, degrees) Work hi story: Current occupation: Family [of origin] : Parents' occupations: Siblings (in binh order): Siblings' occupations: Family [procreation] : Spouse's education: Spouse' s occupation: Children: ... education: Date: Location: �-, -2... occupations: Political Background Family [of origin]: Parents' political affiliations: Parents' political philosophies: Parents' key political issues: Parents' political activity: Siblings' po litical affi liations: Siblings' political philosophies: Siblings' key political issues: Siblings' political activity: Exceptional behavior, in the extended family: Family [procreation] : Spouse's political affi liations: Spouse's political phil osophies: �--3- Spouse's key political issues: Spouse's political activity: Childrens' political affi liations: Childrens' political philosophies: Childrens' key political issues: Childrens' political activity: Personal political affi liations: Personal political philosophies: Personal key political issues: Personal political activity: ... first involvement in politics: Personal Politics [continued] : Membership in service-oriented community groups: (egs. scouts, school, church, adult groups, issues groups) Key life events that influenced your political beliefs: Key persons who influenced your political beliefs: �., 4· How do you define "citizenship"?

Q ~ t~ ted States epartment of Agriculture Forest Service Logan Ranger District 860 N. 1200 E. Logan, UT 84321 Reply to: 2300 Date: October 4, 1988 Steve Flint 45 North 400 West Logan, Utah 84321 Dear Steve: Since Logan Canyon Highway became part ot the National Forest Scenic Byway Program, not much new water has gone under the bridge. To be honest, I am not sure what the designation means. 1 We have a title, but not much else yet; it seems as if we get to chart our own course. W are willing to do that, but to e date we haven't had time to do much. I have heard the State plans to include t~e designation on their maps. ; own idea is to tell the story with appropriate signs, improve the condition of our campgrounds and picnic grounds so they complement our visitors experience, and set esthetic and other standards for the highway by more clearly defining the standards and guidelines contained in the Forest Plan. ' I see a very carefully managed highway, designed to enhance the esthetic quality of the canyon, and perhaps an information station or two. M~ If we do get to chart our own course, then I would like to organize a small committee of interested, participative citizens to help us define the standards." I'll keep you posted. ~inCerelY' _ ~ Xlb MawmJ} J DAVE BAUMGARTNER District Ranger Caring for the Land and Serving People FS-6200-28(7 -82) � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Forest Service, and Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) will jointly hold an agency scoping ' meeting for the environmental impact statement (EIS) being prepared for U.S. 89 through Logan Canyon (Summit and Rich Counties, Utah). The meeting will be on March 4, at 10:00 a.m. in Logan City Hall, Logan, Utah. (Agency) personnel are invited to attend and provide input regarding major issues that should be examined in the EIS and concerns about impacts of road improvements. Public scoping meetings will be held on March 3, 7:00 p.m., at the Mountain Fuel Supply Auditorium, 45 East 200 North in Logan, and on March 4 at 7:00 p.m. in Garden City Hall. You are · also welcome to attend these meetings. UDOT has contracted with CH2M HILL, an environmental engineering consulting firm in Salt Lake City, to analyze transportation needs in Logan Canyon, develop alternative plans for improvements, and evaluate the impact of those plans on the .environment in an EIS. The Federal Highway Administration and the U.S. Forest Service will be cooperating agencies on the EIS, which will be developed in conformance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). Several public meetings discussing the project have been held. Notification of other scoping meetings will be provided through the local news media. Meetings will also be held when the draft EIS is completed to obtain comments on its contents. The proposed action would improve U.S. 89 through Logan Canyon from Right Fork, about 9 miles east of Logan, to Garden City, a distance of approximately 28 miles. This road passes through the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, which provides scenic and recreational resources. Portions of the highway are a narrow two-lane road with numerous curves and considerable gradient. The highway is travelled by a significant number of recreational and other large vehicles, whi~h, along with the road constraints, often results in traffic delays. Improvements to be considered include widening of the roadway and �Page 2 February 11, 1987 B21163.DO shoulders, flattening of curves, replacing and widening of bridges, adjustment of road gradient, improvement of signing, provision of additional recreational turn-outs, provision of climbing lanes, and constructing a new road along a new alignment in selected areas. The project area can be divided into three sections based on the design characteristics of the road. These sections are: 1) Right Fork to 1.8 miles above Ricks Spring; 2) 1.8 miles above Ricks Spring to Bear Lake Summit; 3} Bear Lake Summit to Gargen City. Different alternatives might be selected for each of the road sections. Alternatives currently being considered for the project include: 1) no action; 2} spot improvements; 3} widening along the existing alignment; 4} widening and improving the existing alignment; 5} constructing the road along a new alignment. A fact sheet providing information about the project will be sent to you approximately 3 weeks prior to the scheduled meetings. Written comments will be accepted through Monday, April 6. These should be addressed to: James Naegle Utah Department of Transportation 4501 South 2700 West Salt Lake City, Utah 84119 We request that you advise us at the above address by March 1, whether your office will be making a statement at the scoping meeting.

MR. GEORGE PRESTON: 15 You can use either that But that one does work. Thank you. I'll Having made 16 some remarks personally last night, I have talked to the 17 Commissioner, and he indicated to me that he had some remarks 18 that he wanted to be made in behalf of the county. 19 Commissioner Day over there, and that's why the Commissioners 20 aren't here. 21 in it. n asked to speak. It's It's not that they don't have an interest It's that they have business over there, and I was Basically, Rich County consists of 2,000 people 23 24 located along Bear Lake and in the Woodruff and Randolph 25 areas. These people are concerned about getting in and ,J 3• �) out of Bear Lake. 2 If you will recall, the roads in the winter time 3 are extremely difficult and many times impossible. The 4 life blood of that community is a transportation system 5 for the people coming in and coming out of the community. 6 As you know, the oil interests have decreased there. 7 income of the county has decreased. 8 for businesses. The Rich County is looking You can't attract businesses, you can't attract 9 10 11 transportation system. 12 of Rich County do not want a roadway that · is uncontrolled 13 construction, . consists of poor planning, and one which would 14 essentially disrupt the ecosystems that exist along. the 15 ) tourists, you cannot generate income without an adequate highway. 16 On the other hand, .the residents They feel that a critical safety factor is 17 presently in the corners and in the bridges, which must 18 be replaced. < u 19 abdicate our responsibility at this time, leave the roadway IJ 20 where it is, and pass this problem along to our future 21 generations, obviously at a much higher cost both in study 22 time and in construction time. ~ .... .., . It is very easy to do nothing. We can en .... VI .... ~ tr 23 Had our forefathers done this--and they traveled 24 to Bear Lake on a wagon wheel road, it took two days--and 25 had our forefathers been members of the Sierra Club and .J 4. �) other clubs, we probably would still be faced with that 2 same form of transportation. 3 something about it. 4 improvement. 5 This is the time to do This is the time to make a significant With regards specifically to problems existing 6 on the road, you have approximately five to six turns in 7 that road that are of a decreasing radius turn, depending 8 on which way you're traveling upon that turn. 9 decreasing radius, you are going from a shallow turn at By 10 its inception to an increasingly sharper turn throughout 11 the course of the turn. 12 If you follow people, particularly out of state 13 people, on those turns, they overshoot those turns. 14 fail to slow down sufficiently on those turns; and, 15 therefore, it is an extremely dangerous turn, not only for 16 ) the person going down, but also the person coming up. 17 18 19 They The bridges, you have three major bridges that are problems, the Burnt Bridge and the Upper Twin Bridges. I'm on the National Ski Patrol, and every year 20 we go up there and pick up beer cans along the road. 21 Incidentally, there's a lot of them, which means there is 22 alcohol consumed on that road to a great extent. 23 you pick up the beer cans under the bridge and look up, 24 you really have a second thought about whether or not you 25 want to travel that bridge. But when In many instances, those ) 5. �bridges by reason of the salt that the state has kindly 2 furnished to the road has practically eaten away the concrete 3 on the bridge, and they are unsafe. 4 I think they're a hazard right now. 5 They should be replaced. The Burnt Bridge has had two accidents on the 6 Burnt Bridge last weekend as a result of traffic on there. 7 It is so narrow that a pass was not effectuated properly. And if you have tried to pass a Miller truck 8 9 on the Burnt Bridge, you've got some serious problems, 10 11 uphill and downhill are from a curve. 12 that bridge not from a straightaway, where you can kind 13 of get your sights on it. 14 curve, and it makes it an extremely difficult bridge to 15 pass on. 16 that's· pulling a trailer house on that bridge, they want 17 their share right out of the center. 18 < u because both ends of that, both approaches to the bridge, dangerous place. ~ 20 ~ You're approaching it from a If you've tried to pass a person from out of state So it's an extremely Those are examples of the types of things that 19 o z w So you're approaching inhibit travel and which should be looked at. ~ Thirdly, the speed limit. 21 The speed limit is 22 at 35 miles an hour. 23 that speed limit, including the officers that control the 24 canyon. 25 straightaways are reasonable and prudent to go 40 to 45. Why? I do not know of anyone who observes The turns are set for 35, but the ) 6. �) So what are we doing? We're posting the travel 2 in the canyon for the lowest speed limit that is practical 3 on the corners. 4 by reason of the nature of the construction to travel at 5 the higher speeds on the straight, slow down on the corners. And so we are actually inviting people I think that improvements to the corners would 6 7 facilitate travel, increase safety · significantly. The last 8 comment is on bicycles. 9 the canyon in the summer-spring, you will find bikes up If you look at the lower part of 10 and down the canyon. In fact, there. is a lot of bicycle 11 travel up there, a lot of people running on the side of 12 the road. 13 Do you find that in the areas under consideration? 14 No, because you put one bike--I'm talking about pedal bikes-- 15 but one bike on that road, two cars passing, and someone 16 is going to get hurt. Now, we can't do anything about the people that 17 d8 have died before on that road. 19 obligation to look at the people who are yet to die on that 20 road. 21 But .I think we have an Is Mr. Baumgartner present? Has this road 22 actually been designated presently as a Scenic Highway, 23 or is it under consideration for designation? 24 25 MR. DAVE BAUMGARTNER: Under consideration. A decision has been made in our forest plan to manage it as 7. �) a Scenic Highway and then encourage the State to designate it as such. 3 the Forest Service has an option to do it themselves. 4 If the State isn't capable of doing that~ 2 MR. PRESTON: 5 6 ., and dried right now? Is that correct? 7 ell o So that designation is not cut It's still open for some consideration? MR. BAUMGARTNER: Yes and no. Once again, because '" l: a: 8 of .our management policy in the canyon, we are going to 9 o II.. manage it as a Scenic Highway, even though it doesn't have 10 an official designation. MR. PRESTON: 11 Thank you. With those comments, 12 13 tonight. 14 that road with a view towards looking at that road, seeing 15 where damage won't be done, seeing where improvements can 16 be made; and if you decide to drive that road at about 17 ) I would ,like to invite you all to come to Rich County 4 o'clock when the skiers are coming down from the ski area, . 18 < u When you do come to Rich County, please drive you've got one car every 27 seconds approaching you, some 19 of which have been dri.nking, I think you would want some 20 improvements to that road. o Z 1/1 I.J a: II.. .: 1/1 21 a « z " Thank you. 22 I.J ~ MR.

In doing that, you will require written I don't know at what point in time you would 17 18 want to start informing the State Engineer of any plans, 19 but the earlier those are received the better they can be 20 reviewed. 21 22 23 24 25 That's all I have. MR. NUFFER: (Applause.) Thank you, Robert. Bryan Booth, and then we'll have Richard Denton. MR. BRYAN BOOTH: I didn't dare speak up. I was here last night, but There were too many here. Bryan Booth, of course. My main interest, of 9. �) course, is since I am a Bear Laker by nativity and since 2 3 development. 5 park just north of Garden City for 15 years. 6 people from other areas, other states, that came over that 7 with their trailers behind them, they were shaking like 8 a leaf by the time they got in to my trailer park. 9 ., . of business, I'm interested in this highway and its 4 o ... I'm there a good share of the year now and have a place said they had never driven anything so scary as Logan Canyon. 10 I built and operated an overnight trailer Some of the They They didn't have time to look at the scenery at all. Since selling this overnight trailer park to 11 12 Camper World about 10 years ago, I have built and operate 13 now a mobile home park back of my home, almost adjacent 14 to that same area. Whenever a big mobile home comes in from somewhere 15 16 17 Soda Springs, because they are scared to death, and, of 18. < u they have to generally go around by Evanston or around by course, the Highway Patrol is not too happy to see them 19 go through Logan Canyon, especially if it's a 65 or 70-foot 20 trailer. o Z III W a: ... .... III W ~ 21 Someone mentioned the guardrails. I'm grateful o « z " w 22 to see so many of them installed recently. Of course, where 23 they have been installed on the edge of the bridges, that 24 has narrowed these bridges about 10 to 12 inches. 25 of course, a lot of people are scared to death of those. a.. And, 10. �-> As has been mentioned so many times, it's a hazard to cross 2 them when someone else is coming. Now, as far as the deer being killed, I'm sure 3 4 that if the trees were moved back a little farther, they 5 would be able to see a deer before you hit him. 6 they just appear out of nowhere without any problem at all, 7 so far as they're concerned. But now I would make one suggestion in the interim that 8 9 10 the side of the road that appears about the middle of the 11 summer, the deer sneak out of those in a hurry, and you 12 would be able to see them a little sooner if that were the 13 ) if the Highway Department would cut that high grass along case. I've never counted the times I've traveled Logan 14 15 16 State. 17 .f Canyon from Bear. Lake to Logan. while I was teaching. 18 I got my education at Utah I got my master's degree mostly in the summer schools I taught two years in Cache Valley . I'm sure the people won't slow down whether 19 20 night, the hazards of people passing you on a double line, 21 I've had that happen time and time again. 22 ~lo,..r anything is done or not, because, as someone mentioned last someone with a high speed powerful car whizzed by me on 23 a double line, and 10 24 at almost the same speed, and T had to throw on my brakes 25 to avoid a crash; that is, for him to avoid a crash. On one occasion and behold, another car was coming So 11. �) it's happening all the time on curves and everywhere. People 2 are so · anxious to go places and to go there so quickly, 3 that it's almost an impossible situation to control it. 4 Sometimes these people in Bear Lake who have 5 6 ., a lot of trouble with the deer wish there were more killed ·on the highway, especially the females, with the hay stacks 7 o Of course, we've got one · man in Rich County who will ·take 9 III and elsewhere. 8 .. And I've had a lot of experi'encewi.th that . care of it, if you don't do something about ~ a: o ... 10 that~ So I'm anxious to have something done. I haven't 11 12 recommendations. 13 for the whole thing must be finalized before any portion . 14 of it is done. 15 is done and whatever can be done as the time goes on, I'm 16 for it; and I'm sure that if we vote against anything being 17 done in Bear Lake, the Logan Canyon Road, that that money, 18 whatever is available, will go somewhere else, and I think 19 we want it on this canyon. 20 particularly recently complaining about the first half of 21 Logan Canyon. 22 of screaming about the spoiling of the environment. 23 it's a beautiful road, and I think it's much better now 24 than it was before, and the scenery is better. 25 < u studied the proposal carefully enough to make any specific see the leaves in the fall; and if the trees are too close o I suspect that whatever is done, the plan That is my guess, anyway. And so whatever I don't remember anybody Z !II 101 II: IL Yet, when that was proposed, we heard a lot I think You can ) 12. �to the road, you can't. One other item that hasn't been mentioned. 2 3 Someone mentioned last night that it would be a good idea 4 to move the trees back, but some of them and most of them 5 that are right close to the road are being killed by salt 6 that the snowplows obviously and unavoidably have to plow 7 off, and it hits these trees and eventually some of them 8 die. 9 with a wood stove wouldn't dare cut one or he would be in So many of those trees are very unsightly. A person 10 11 of those that are dead and haul them in for wood for somebody 12 .) trouble, but I wish the Highway Department would cut a few the widows or someone else who needs them. 13 I think that's all I have to say. 14 MR. NUFFER: 15 16 17 · 18 19 . ( Applause. ) After Richard, we'll have Bruce King. MR. RICHARD DENTON: My name is Richard Denton. I'm an environmental scientist with the Bureau of Water Pollution Control. I'm not going to address one of ·the different 20 issues that have been addressed here whether the road should 21 be built or not. 22 concern as far as water quality within the canyon. 23 Logan River is classified in the state system as 2B, which 24 is for water-borne recreation, 3A a cold water fishery, 25 and 4, agriculture and irrigation. I'll try to limit my remarks to our Bureau'~ Presently 13. �Under state law we are required to protect the 2 3 type of thing going on. 7 • probably a limited amount of canoeing, kayaking, and that 6 o agriculture. 5 II mainly as a cold water fishery and aquatic life and for 4 .. Logan River for these three different stream classifications, imagine at campgrounds and things like 8 9 In that section of the river there is I think There is some water contact I this~ The entire Logan River from the mouth of the canyon upstream on the forest is also classified as an 10 antidegradation segment for the State, and as such we are 11 required to protect the stream from any type of activity -12 13 14 wi thin that stream that may degradate the water quality and the aquatic system within the canyon. After talking with our staff and looking at some 15 16 Right Hand Fork to -Ricks Spring, we as a staff feel that 17 very little widening of the road or construction in that 18 area could be done without affecting water quality. 19 Presently in most of those reaches through there there is 20 a good riparian zone, trees and shrubs and what not, that 21 protect the river from the highway and from the use from 22 the highway. 23 < u of the alternatives here, especially in the section from water quality would suffer. o Z III '" ... I[ If any of that area was disturbed, then the 24 One thing the riparian zone does is it acts as 25 a buffer system to protect the stream from such things as ) 14. �) surface runoff of the road, which is extremely high in 2 salts, turbidity from any type of erosion that may occur, 3 affords some protection from any type of gasoline spills. 4 If a tanker turns over, what not, it offers some protection, 5 unless in some places it would go directly into the river. So I think that's where our Bureau is coming 6 7 from. 8 we will be insisting that we review what plans are come 9 up with by the committee or the tech team, and we will have 10 11 We are involved in the NEPA process, and as such to give approval for the different aspects of that. One thing is that if there is any construction 12 13 road alignments, we will have to have turbidi ty waivers 14 for · the stream. 15 affected, those will require sediment control structures, 16 .> involved, whether it's bridges or whether it's anything, different things, to protect water quality. 17 If any section of the stream will be I don't want to say this in picking on the DOT 18 right at the moment, but we have seen some good and some 19 bad things that have happened on road construction within 20 the state in the last few years. 21 seen in the last few years is the new Interstate 80, or 22 70, I guess it is, through Clear Creek Canyon. 23 with everyone to protect water quality and to improve the 24 stream or to reconstruct it, whatever needed to be done, 25 I think we've ended up with a compatible situation there A good example that we've DOT working ") 15. �where the stream runs through a closed canyon and we still 2 have a good trout fishery, we have good water quality, and 3 those things have been met. 4 A situation that's 100 degrees around from that, 5 6 by thousands of tons of sediment a year going into the Weber 8 River. 9 ca o see that we have increased turbidity loads in that canyon 7 · .. though, is the interstate down through Echo Canyon. We Wasatch Front. l: II: o ... The Weber River is a culinary water source for the And now we're going to end up--we have a 10 team put together to try to correct some of those things, 11 and it's probably going to cost hundreds 12 dollars to try to reconstruct that stream and to get - rosion e - 13 14 -15 of thousands of under control and to protect water quality that's going into the Weber River. We have had problems in Little and Big Cottonwood 16 17 I f think we're going to have - to work very closely with you 19 to ensure that we do not see some of these same problems 20 o construction. 18 < u canyons, for example, with erosion because of road in the canyon here. So like I say, I'm not picking on DOT, but Z (/) W II: ... t(/) 21 w ~ o < As I look at the alternatives, and we've studied 22 them with the staff, I think that we as a staff would have 23 to recommend probably Alternative B. 24 go with "A." 25 z " ... and still protect the integrity of the stream. a.. I see no reason to I think things could be done within the canyon But, like ) 16. �) I say, especially on the lower one section in there, as 2 a staff we feel that very little could probably be done 3 and still ensure water quality and protect the state's 4 standards, and that's where we're coming from. I believe those are about all the comments I 5 6 have. We would like to, like I say, be kept informed, and 7 we will be requiring you to put some of these things through 8 as part of the NEPA process. 9 Thank you. MR. NUFFER: 10 Thank you. (Applause.) and then Newel Daines. 11 MR. BRUCE KING: We'll have Bruce King Bruce King representing Cache 12 County Government. 13 commendation to UDOT and the consultant here for the process 14 that's going forward. 15 irreconcilably separated on distant poles, I think a ·great 16 purpose is being accomplished by affording the public this 17 opportunity to be heard. 18 I'd like to comment just briefly by Even if the various interests were There's great value in that. On the second point, I don't think we are 19 irreconcilably disparate on our poles. 20 also by what I see as an ability to get together and carve 21 a compromise here that will preserve important values and 22 still give us a significant benefit by way of facility and 23 improvement in that canyon. 24 25 I am encouraged With regard to the position of public officials and specifically Cache County, I don't have anything to ) 17. �recommend at this point, except to indicate that our new 2 3 that you'll have that. 6 of the council here today. 7 III submit something in writing during the comment period, so 5 ., one section. 4 o ... county council has reviewed this issue preliminarily in presence.

We are the largest Class 2 medical center 2 that services Star Valley, all of Rich County, Bear Lake 3 County, and even down into the southwestern part of Wyoming, 4 Cokeville and those areas. 5 So I've seen the use of this road as an emergency 6 7 ., III o road for medical services, and I would like to mention that for a minute .

Thank you. Logan City But there are other menus (Applause.) MR. NUFFER: Thank you. Thank you, Mayor. Is there anyone else who would care to comment? MR. TED WILSON: This is a very impressive group 14 as far as Logan Canyon. 15 quite this strong a group. 16 a resident of Logan and of Bear Lake. 17 developer in Bear Lake. 18 towards the development or the property which is greatly 19 affected by any of these alignments. 20 I didn't think they could gather My name is Ted Wilson. I'm I'm also a real estate My comments are not going to be I have traveled Logan Canyon all my life and 21 very heavily. A couple of things that I kind of see that 22 I feel may be overlooked or a little bit on the soft side, 23 I have just jotted them down here. 24 that states that anticipated growth would .be about 2 percent, 25 I think that's very mild to what the growth can be if the No.1, in the survey 23. �road is improved. 2 Now, I'm for the improvement of the road, and 3 I'm against it in a lot of instances. 4 Daines just mentioned is a very, very critical, touchy area. 5 I think we can go through that area with some mild 6 improvements and some major improvements above. 7 really backs up really bad in the summer time. 8 R.V., recreational vehicles towing other recreational 9 vehicles towing other recreational vehicles, I've seen them The area that Mayor That road Right now 10 hooked on to three. 11 a boat. 12 idea. 13 behind, it, even on the straightaways, where the lines are 14 passable now, they won't pass. 15 and another car and another car. 16 tempers building as people are trying to get to Bear Lake 17 or Yellowstone or wherever. 18 I've seen a motor home, a car, and .

Now, I guess Utah doesn't But I've heard of other states, if you're Maybe the I have counted 20, 30 cars backed up behind .) 24. �) one cautious Midwesterner that hits these mountains and 2 is petrified. 3 Like Bryan said, it's scary to people. If you touch that area carefully where it's 4 critical, come out in what we call the Crookston Flats, 5 improve it more than these maps are, with decent passing 6 lanes where you're back off the river and won't disturb 7 the water quality. 8 pieces of water in the United States. There's just no 9 question about it. We need to watch 10 the water quality. The Logan River is one of the classic So is the canyon. Mr. Denton referred to the salt, or improvement 11 12 of the road making the salt run into the river and possibly 13 a tanker spill. 14 runs into the river. 15 is no place for it to go but into the river. 16 of that road could improve the possible tanker spills. 17 shoulders of that road are so dangerous. All the water and all the salt right now I mean, you get the runoff. There Improvement The Myself--I'm not Dr. Daines--I have helped seven 18 19 to eight very critical accidents in that canyon. 20 one of them has been above the Forks. 21 of them. 22 out of rivers. 23 with an improved road, most of those accidents may have 24 been prevented, because they were almost always on a steep 25 or people passing where they should not have been. Every single one I've pulled babies out of cars. That's my nature. Every I've pulled people I'll stop and help. But Why ') - ~ 25. �) they do that, I don't know. An improved road won't stop 2 that, but it will help it, if you can get traffic around 3 the slower vehicles. 4 My recommendations, then, would just be really 5 6 If you got that so that they can pass there, I think you 8 CII o you've got half the canyon, half the canyon is passable. 7 ., .. careful in the critical areas, but the open flat areas-- would speed up the flow and deter accidents. 9 Mr. King, who, of course, just moved into his 10 position, mentioned that the County hasn't looked at the 11 situation thoroughly yet. 12 look at it. I would recommend that Mr. King 13 17 along the side of the lake. and coming down in, instead of through Cache County. 19 I would strongly suggest Cache County officials really look 20 at the situation very carefully. 21 money. 22 o Lake to get to Bear Lake where they have these shanties 18 < Canyon. 16 U really being hurt because of the flow of traffic in Logan 15 " f Our economy of Cache Valley and Rich County is 14 ) as far as the economy of Cache Valley for that purpose.

I suggested Z til W a: ... ...: til w ~ o <t " Z 22 W IL One concern I have is that this projection goes 23 to the year 2010. As I understand it, the improvements 24 may make this an adequate road until that year. 25 is what happens thereafter. My concern 28. �I think everybody doesn't anticipate a four-lane 2 highway through this canyon. 3 going to be adequate for 20 years, perhaps we ought to look 4 at an alternative route. 5 economic development and so on, I think there are some strong 6 feelings on the other side that perhaps people from Salt 7 Lake and Ogden should take alternate routes to Bear Lake 8 and Yellowstone and not use Logan Canyon. 9 are not amenable to the kinds of traffic that some of us 10 My concern is if this is only Contrary to Ted's feelings about Some places simply like to see go up there. I know this hits at the heart of economic 11 12 13 it's time to take a close look at that. 14 what other alternatives have been considered as far as 15 perhaps major roadways, the Blacksmith's Fork area, 16 ) development. But, on the other hand, I think that perhaps Strawberry, by Preston, or whatever. I'm concerned about I'm concerned about restrictions on this road. 17 18 I'm not sure how big of a problem the trucks are. 19 passed them on the bridges also. 20 some restrictions on the use of this highway for that kind 21 of traffic. 22 an alternative consideration. 23 I don't know. I have Perhaps there should be But I hope that that would be I'm concerned about enfoT-cement. Perhaps I've 24 25 .. been on the other side of the counsel table from Jud Preston too many times.

As everyone knows, the Logan Canyon road 5 improvement issue has been one of a lot of controversy, 6 and I think that's probably unfortunate. 7 bit about the road. 8 been improved in Logan Canyon, as you know, is a very narrow 9 road, difficult to pass, problems for good flow of traffic. Just a little In my opinion, the area that hasn't 10 The bridges are a disaster, in my opinion, a real hazard 11 to traffic. 12 With respect to the study--and somebody correct 13 me if I'm wrong--I understand that this is the fourth study 14 --is that right, Todd? 15 ) MR. WESTON: 16 17 , 18 Well, I've been involved in three. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a fourth. MR. BROWN: That's a real concern to me. going into the fourth study of this area. We're What are we going 19 to gain from the fourth study that we couldn't have gained 20 in the first, second, or third? 21 in my opinion. 22 The improvements. So I think that's a waste, I look for a design, improved 23 road, such as that in the lower portion of the canyon, or 24 that which has been improved. 25 essential for the flow of traffic. The passing lanes are New bridges need to ) 4. �) be built, in my opinion. 2 It's been my understanding that there has been 3 some proposal of a four lane system in Logan Canyon. 4 totally opposed to anything of that nature. 5 and it wouldn't be cost-effective. 6 Traveling in the canyon. I'm It isn't needed, I have spent most of II> 7 my life in Rich County. 8 of times, a lot of miles, a lot of different years, going 9 " o to college and Utah State University. N I've traveled the canyon a lot ~ II: o ... I think I have a 10 pretty good feel for how the road was prior to improvement 11 as now. Going through the canyon 12 now, and especially 13 the improved section, I can't see where you can tell there 14 was any disturbance carried out. 15 affect the beauty 16 there now, how can you tell, as I said, anything was ever 17 done? 418 <: u o I don't think it will once it's restored. As you drive through From a business standpoint or an economic 19 development, it's essential and critical. We know that 20 all businesses are struggling. 21 money, from the county standpoint, as well as from a grant 22 aspect, to the economic development in the Bear Lake region, 23 and we need to be able to get people to and 24 the Cache Valley area, as well. z UI LoI II: ...

MR. NUFFER: 5 6 I think the Thank you. Dee Johnson. Then we'll have Barry Negus. MR. DEE JOHNSON: 7 Good evening, ladies and 8 gentlemen. I appreciate the opportunity to comment. 9 I don't want to be repetitious of what's been said. I represent Rich County as a Commissioner and 10 11 12 ) as a citizen also. I sit in the middle. Mr. Francis was at the Logan meeting, and you've heard from Commissioner 13 Brown. 14 the other one is the other. 15 way to be would be to get in the middle of the road of those 16 two, and by so doing I sort of am an eternal optimist. And one of them is just as bullheaded one way as So I have decided the best I don't think there is anything that can't be 17 18 done if all people concerned try to make it happen. As 19 long as there's dialogue and study, then things like that 20 can happen. It's been mentioned that the entire economy, 21 22 of course, on this side of the hill depends on that road. 23 It is a major artery. 24 certainly fraternized by our people on this side of the 25 hill. I think Cache County's economy is You know, babies are born over there, and they will 6. �) always be born over there, and I'd like to see the road 2 improved and the environment withheld to a point that these 3 babies that's being born today and those that are going 4 to be born in 10, 15 years, can enjoy it. I see a situation where we have a present road 5 6 standard of approximately 25 feet. To get a standard or 7 a modified standard, we need to have about 8 I just can't help but think we can't add another 10 feet 9 in places where it's needed and still keep the environment io feet, and 10 so that it's protected, scenic. There has to be a way, 11 and there will be a way if we're all willing to work towards 12 it. If we go with Plan A, and we simply say no action 13 14 taken, then we haven't helped everyone concerned. We've 15 only helped one particular element, that being the element 16 who said, nBy doing anything, we disturb the environment." 17 If we go to the extreme and take alternatives 18 D or E, then we haven't maintained the environment as it 19 needs to be. 20 a road that can service the needs now and in the future. 21 We all have to work together. 22 the time.

VAL .PETERSON: 11 ~ntothe I would like to have read 12 position that was taken by the Cache Chamber of Commerce 14 board of directors on the 15th of October in 1986 relative 15 to the Logan Canyon road study. such a study, which may eventually provide clearance to 17 much needed road improvements in the Logan Canyon. 18 our understanding that the study focuses primarily on the 19 stretch of canyon road between Right Fork and Garden City. 20 ~ 13 16 ) or recorded official record of this meeting a This is basically the unimproved section of the canyon road. We are pleased to support It is As a Chamber of Commerce we recognize that our 21 22 neighbors to the north in Idaho and Wyoming as well as Utah 23 depend on the canyon, Logan Canyon corridor, to provide 24 transportation access to services found in Logan and Cache 25 County. Their patronage to our businesses are encouraged, .) 8. �) welcomed, and appreciated.

NUFFER: Thank you. Mr. Nielson. This is And after the Mayor, we will have Ted Seeholtzer. MR. BRYCE NIELSON: I appreciate the opportunity 19 to speak tonight. I look at the Logan Canyon Road from 20 various points of view. 21 up and live in Logan and to utilize the canyon from a 22 recreational point of view. 23 to live for a good number of years in Rich County and use 24 the canyon as a main artery towards the livelihood that 25 we require; doctors, stores, that type of stuff. I've had the opportunity to grow I've also had the opportunity ) 10. �! . I have also have had the opportunity to be a 2 fisheries biologist and a "environmentalist," you might 3 say. 4 the mayor of Garden City, and been able to see many of the 5 concerns that citizens of the area have about travel, 6 tourism, businesses, the life blood of communities. I have also been on the other side of the coin · as about I feel this gives me a good overview of the 7 8 problem on the Logan Canyon road. I feel that I can't really 9 state what alternatives I'm in favor of or opposed to. 10 11 13 appeal. is extremely important to me, since I transport my family, 15 my loved ones, through the canyon, and my friends travel 16 through the canyon. 17 to say which is more important that one or the other. 18 < throughout the canyon, its scenic values, its esthetic 14 u both the fishery environment and the other environments 12 ) Obviously, the environment is extremely important to me, think they're both extremely important. 19 o But on the same hand, the safety of the canyon So it's very difficult for me as one I I don't think speed is an issue in the canyon, Z III III 20 can you go around a corner? 22 many minutes can you save? 23 with most of the people in Rich County. 24 an issue with many people. 25 ... and I constantly hear this brought up as speed. 21 a:: very much in favor of improvement of bridges. How fast How many miles an hour, how I don't think that's an issue I don't think it's Safety is an issue, and I'm I'm very ) 11. �much in favor of improvement of passing lanes, so that 2 individuals who are impatient, want to get on down the road, 3 will not take hazardous actions that may affect the safety 4 of myself or people that I know and that I think a lot of. I think that it's important that the canyon is 5 6 improved for the tourist industry in Garden City and the 7 Bear Lake area. 8 about in many of these meetings is the fact that you talk 9 ' about loads through the canyon, people, numbers of cars; You know, one thing that's not been talked 10 but nobody has really talked about the amount of people 11 that go through Evanston, other routes to the area, primarily 12 to avoid the canyon. 13 utilize this exceptional resource . .J I'd like to see more of these people One other thing that I'm probably not--well, 14 15 I'm not in favor of--is any realignment of the Rich County 16 side. 17 and boats and semi's labor up and down the hill. 18 I also can see the scars of the old road that existed in 19 the thirties, and I don't want to see additional scars in 20 that beautiful area. 21 of the valley here and many of the tourists who come through 22 thoroughly enjoy seeing deer, moose, and associated wildlife 23 in that area. 24 25 I live on that alignment. I see the cars and trucks However, I know that many of the residents I think with some minor changes I can be very happy with the route as it exists at present. 12. �On the economic side, I don't want to see citizens 2 of Rich County be unduly taxed to maintain a road that they 3 would abandon if in fact they actually did abandon the road 4 or the alignment was changed so that it was our 5 responsibility as taxpayers to maintain the road that exists 6 right now. Above and beyond all, and in quick summary, I 7 8 would like to see more of us get together, both the 9 "environmentalists," "the users of the canyon," and the 10 politicians and look together to see the type of ending 11 that I think we can all be proud of. 12 ) MR. NUFFER: 13 MR. TED SEEHOLTZER: 14 15 Thank you. Ted. It's hell to get old,isn't it? My name is Ted Seeholtzer. I'm affiliated with 16 17 Travel Council for 11 years. 18 < u Beaver Mountain ski area.

Perhaps I am to a point, 24 but I'm here to tell you one thing, whether or not I'm 25 associated with Beaver Mountain, if I thought for one minute 13. �that canyon was going to be uprooted, I would be completely 2 on the other side of the fence. So I do have some very, 3 very strong concerns about the canyon and what ought to 4 happen to it and the condition it ought to be in hopefully 5 when we get some work done on it. Just to throw a few insights to you regarding 6 7 the area and traffic patterns that we have there, on a day 8 that Beaver Mountain has 1,200 skiers, that develops into 9 roughly 440 cars at 2.7 persons per car, which is a good 10 average. It's pretty much a set number by all the resorts 11 in Utah-Colorado areas.· We have that happen any number of times during 12 ) 2.7 is a pretty good figure. 13 the winter. 14 Day and some of these type things that we get upwards of 15 1,300, 1,400, 1,500 people. 16 of 1,200 to 440 cars, if those people were to leave the 17 resort in an orderly fashion in a two-hour period, every 18 27 seconds an automobile would hit that road. 19 within an hour period, every 13.5 seconds an automobile 20 hits that highway. 21 Of course, we have some peak days. President's But as an average weekend crowd If they leave So we know that that road cannot be developed 22 to handle total peak traffic.

There are a few misconceptions that probably 12 have been handed out in the last 30 to 60 days concerning 13 the study that ought to be discussed just a little bit. 14 If you remember, the information was put up here on the 15 board regarding Logan Canyon as a designated scenic highway. 16 It · has been designated only in the Forest Land Use Plan. 17 It has not been registered in the Congressional Record at 18 this point in time. 19 that people think it is now in the record. 20 Forest Use Plan, not in the Congressional Record.

One thing that hasn't been discussed here a great 21 22 deal is the amount of snow that falls in Logan Canyon from 23 the Forks to, say, Sunrise Campground on this side of the 24 canyon. 25 there's somewhere between 300 and 500 inches of snowfall The records we've kept over the last years shows 17. �1/ within that area. , The 500 inches would fall from Tony Grove 2 over the top into Sunrise.

JOHN FLANNERY: Thank you for the opportunity. 8 Can you hear me in back? I'm a writer, not a speaker. 9 So I'm going to read what I have for all here. First of all, I have no financial interests in 10 11 any way in Logan Canyon or Logan or Rich .county. This is 12 not in opposition to what has been said or to the idea of 13 improving the road we have. 14 it as a note of caution. I would prefer to think of When I came to Utah to work for the State 32 15 16 years ago, it was Parley's Canyon that said: 11 good place. 18 two-lane road going into Salt Lake City is marvelous. 19 gone.

Too many Less than a month ago in Hawaii, I had the 16 17 privilege of driving a road called the Road of a Hundred 18 Bridges, and it runs down across the back of Maui to the 19 tiny town of Hana. 20 is 20 miles an hour. 21 And at many, many bridges you have to stop, yield to oncoming 22 traffic. · 23 There are 23 miles. The top speed limit You often have to go 10 miles an hour. These are one-way bridges. And you'd be glad that you're in a Japanese car and not an American car when 24 you do try to cross those. Still, it's an unforgettable 25 drive of leisure and beauty, with enough ·pullouts to 21. �) encourage dawdling and savoring a unique place on earth. 2 The Hawaiians don't lament those 23 miles of beauty, and 3 that leisurely drive makes people come allover the world 4 who care about scenic beauty. 5 of the tourist industry. 6 It's the backbone of some I submit that Logan Canyon and its river are 7 similarly unique. Certainly there is nothing like this 8 canyon and the Logan River left in . Utah. It's butchery, and it could happen. 9 It will 10 diminish its ability to draw the many people who come to 11 savor what we have. Injuring this canyon will diminish Utah's full 12 13 house of attractions. Its damage could and will reduce 14 the value of what is a gateway to your beautiful valley 15 and perhaps wipe out travelers' enthusiasm for the total 16 experience of the drive from the Wasatch Front communities 17 to Bear Lake. Minutes saved will never repay posterity for 18 19 the measured damage that may be done to the unique canyon 20 we have.

My name is Ray Elliott. I 13 know most of you here. Some of you may know us from being 14 here in the summer. 15 So I wanted to speak just a little bit concerning all of 16 the interests involved. I have interests here in Bear Lake. This seems to be quite a polarizing issue. 17 I '18 went to the meeting last night in Logan. The meeting was 19 heavily represented there last night by environmental 20 interes~s, 21 towards development of the road. 22 different motives, different personal interests, some of 23 them personal, some of them environmental, some of them 24 concerned with safety. 25 from people who have specific monetary concerns in the canyon and the interests seemed to be more slanted Everyone seems to have Some interests are monetary, either ) 32. �I, or on either side of the canyon, to see improvement made. 2 I feel that we really need to be responsible to 3 4 we need to be careful to protect the things that we all 7 ., to be made in the canyon. 6 flII improvement. 5 o the future, both for the environment and safety and feel are important. .... But in making those improvements, There is going to be increased traffic. 8 9 Improvements that are going to be made need If we want to see increased use here in Bear Lake, we need to 10 decide who we're trying to attract. 11 Lake is attracting tourists, we need to be careful. 12 we want the tourists to get through on a faster highway, 13 or do we want to attract people who are there to enjoy the 14 scenery? 15 If the economy of Bear There are gives and takes there. Do In trying to 16 attract more people, if they declare 17 route and list it in the Federal Registry, you may attract 18 more tourists; but in doing so, you're going to have to 19 accommodate more people in that canyon, and the roads are 20 going to have to be improved. 21 both ways. 22 th~ highway a scenic There are going to be trades If we decide over here--and I have interests 23 here that I need--I would like to see tourist trade increase, 24 but I'm not sure that faster roads or scenic highway, either 25 one, there's a question that exists there. Which is going . ) 33. �to be in the best interests of Rich County in attracting 2 3 tourists? We need to be careful that this type of forum 4 that we have in getting public opinion does not leave the 5 engineering firm, CH2M Hill, UDOT, with the impression that 6 what they have seen either in support of widening the road 7 or in support of saving the environment and doing nothing-- 8 they're going to be left with an impression there, and then 9 they're going to take that 10 info~mation home and decide what they will do with it and do what they will. 11 the two groups is because each group feels that one group 13 is trying to take advantage of the other group or that the 14 concerns of the environmentalists will be totally served by 15 whomever is going to make the decision, or the concerns 16 of improvements in the road are going to be served over 17 ) Now, some of the polarities that exist between 12 14. the environment. 18 I have a suggestion that I'm not sure what could 19 be done there to insure that both sides are served; and 20 I feel that there is a middle ground that could be achieved 21 without destroying the environment and without changing 22 the canyon, and still improving the road. 23 responsible to the improvements that need to be made. 24 25 . We have to be I mean, I've driven a pregnant wife at 2 o'clock in the morning over that highway from Bear Lake to Logan, ) 34. �with labor pains and two minutes apart, and I know the 2 anxiety that accompanies that. 3 So there are safety concerns that we need to 4 5 forum like this leaves people with a few notions that they 7 will go ba.ck and, . again, as I said, do what they will. 8 there could be a committee put together of interest groups 9 ., o ... same time, I really love and appreciate that canyon. 6 III be .concerned with, that we really need to address. that each have their own interests that could be used as At the A If ~ I[ o "- . 10 11 environmentalists, the Sierra Club may have a representative 12 at that meeting, the Rich Tourist Council should have a 13 representative on that advisory committee. 14 perhaps there should be a way to insure that everyone's 15 ) checks and balances for whatever is going to be done, the interest there is served, and I feel that they can be. 16 17 MR.

I used to be on the Highway 10 Patrol. 11 in Logan Canyon, it was probably me that gave them to you. 12 In fact, 20 years ago if any of you got tickets Ray said that he has driven Logan Canyon with an expectant wife. 14 somebody else's expectant wife, and it's no easier when 15 it's somebody else's wife. 16 ) 13 trying to tell the father how to deliver that baby. 17 Well, I've driven Logan Canyon with It's hard to drive that canyon I've got some recommendations here, or at least 18 things, as I look at the presentation and look 19 a little more specific 20 maybe Alternative C was all right. 21 looked at it, and Alternative D, they have changed the road 22 just below Ricks Spring and cut out an area there that in 23 my opinion, my experience, it is quite a bad area. 24 made a lot of other improvements here, too. 25 like the difference between C and D is this cut just below On at the maps the first section I thought that But then the more I They But this looked ) 36. �1 , ) 1 Ricks Spring that eliminates an area where the banks are 2 very steep and in the winter time the sun never gets down 3 to the road--well, seldom gets down to the road--not because 4 of clouds, but because of the mountains shading it. 5 quite a dangerous area in my opinion. Now, Alternative C I believe would be fine other 6 7 That's than that. On the next section, on Section 2, I thought 8 ' 9 10 they would like to see the road brought right up to snuff, 11 put a brand new road in there, because in 15 or 20 years 12 ) Alternative B was satisfactory. NOW, some have said that we're going to need it, or maybe even sooner. 13 possible. That's But ' economically speaking, I don't know that-- 14 15 I'm afraid we're going to choke the horse if we try to feed 16 it that much and that we need to be realistic on our needs 17 now. 18 <: u We've got other areas, other routes of getting 19 in and out of the valley. 20 too, to develop those along with this. 21 summer people that have cabins here on the lake that come 22 from Salt Lake, well over half of them--well over half of 23 o I think we need to work on those, them--from the Salt Lake area come through Evanston already. Z III III It: IL 24 25 Already of the Now, as more people learn of the Evanston route, there will probably be more and more people come that way. ,. ) 37. �') And that's not all bad to have several accesses into our 2 area. The last section, again, there are some very 3 4 bad curves there, and I think that they need to be looked at. I think Alternative D would be the one that I 5 6 would recommend. It eliminates the bad curves without 7 realigning the road drastically, and I think we could get 8 along with that. Thank you. MR. NUFFER: 9 Is there anyone else here that would 10 care to testify? 11 want to that changed their mind? Now is your chance. Well, with that, do any of the UDOT people want 12 13 Anyone that came thinking they didn't to say anything in closing? MR. 'WESTON: 14 I was ready to go at 10 after 8: 00, 15 but since we've talked some more, let me make one thought 16 or two in conclusion. 17 through our previous meetings that Logan Canyon itself means 18 different things to different people. 19 all going to agree upon what Logan Canyon means to us. 20 think we've found out that it's a very sensitive area. I think 'we've found out tonight and I don't think we're I I think we already know that the Forest Service 21 22 desires to keep it a scenic highway, and I think that's 23 fine. 24 25 I think that can be done. I think we need to remember a few things, and I think I need to answer a question of Commissioner Brown's. ) 38. �I think it deserves an answer. That is, what's to be gained 2 3 study. I don't think we've lost anything by three times. 6 that this better be the last study before we do something 7 CIO And I've told you previously that this is my third 5 . asked. 4 o ... by an additional study? I think that's the question he in Logan Canyon . study~ng it But I do think that the time has come now l: II: I say that from the standpoint that we now have 8 o "- 9 -got some structures up there in the canyon that have got 10 to be repaired or replaced quite drastically. I can see 11 some problems if we don't repair those bridges; and if we 12 try to do it on the existing alignment, on the existing 13 bridge, we're going to have to build a route around those 14 bridges for the traffic to go through that may be more 15 detrimental to - the highway than some of the things we're 16 talking about. I just want to say this much, that we have got 17 18 19 do something on the bridges is quite obvious to most of 20 you here. 21 of our study. 22 Transportation is not flush 23 the Legislature recently passed a 5 cent gas tax increase, 24 the needs that we have, I've got to say in all honesty that 25 <: u to do something on the bridges. - The reason we've got to 5 cents more gas tax is a drop in the bucket to our needs. o z II) 101 II: ... What we do over and beyond that is the purpose But I do know this. The Department of with dollars. Even though ) 39. �We have to rely on the federal highway people 2 to help us fund primary road systems. Logan Canyon Highway, 3 Highway 89, is more than just a road for Cache County. 4 more than just a road for Rich County. 5 federal highway; and as long as we're going to have a primary 6 federal highway going through that canyon, we've got to 7 keep it up to certain standards. It's It's a primary 8 Now, if the time comes that there are enough 9 feelings that that shouldn't be a primary highway, then 10 I guess we'll address that at that time; but it presently 11 is, and we're required and obligated in our responsibility 12 to the highway system of the State of Utah' to do certain 13 things on that highway to make it reasonably safe and usable 14 for the traveling public. 15 to do it. 16 it's our judgment as a Department of Transportation, that 17 there will be no money spent up there, even on bridges, 18 until we complete an environmental impact study in depth, 19 like we're doing now, and there will be a chance to have 20 you come to a hearing on our draft environmental impact 21 study, which will be ready sometime this fall, hopefully; 22 and at that time you can make the decision, help us make 23 the decision, on what we're going to do with Logan Canyon. 24 But I do know that the study has got to be done. 25 We need federal highway dollars The federal highways, I can tell you now, and When I first came on the Commission, ·1 was the ) 40. �\ i first one to go to the rest of the Commissioners and say, 2 "Why are we spending half a million dollars up there to 3 study something we already know?" 4 statement as Commissioner Brown made. You know, the same 5 6 ., I since have become a little older and a little wiser, and I know that we've got to complete this document . 7 and consider every option and consider everybody's feelings 8 and examine every portion of it and now do anything in that 9 ell o canyon until we're satisfied that we're doing the right III ~ II: o ... 10 thing. 11 to release any money and Dave Baumgartner and the Forest 12 Service are not going to support us if we don't do the job 13 And I know the federal highway people are not going -and do it right. 14 Now, that's the reason for the study. You have an opportunity to give us input. You 15 16 consulting team up until April 6. 17 has the address you can mail those to, if you have things 18 < u will have written comments that can be written to our to say that you didn't say tonight. 19 if you want to get your name on the record, you send that 20 in to the people and express yourself. o You have - a handout that Even if it's repetitive, Z III W II: ... I don't think numbers are going to be things 21 22 that make the determination. I don't think numbers ever 23 was the determining decision-making process in any valid 24 decision. 25 good solid concrete suggestions on what you think we ought But we do want your input, and we want to have 41. �to do. Thank you. MR. NUFFER: 2 3 Jess, did you have a follow-up on that? MR. JESS ANDERSON: 4 I just have a question. Can 5 you do anything with the area around Logan Cave? 6 make that parking or something? 7 in a snowstorm in the middle of the night, and there's not 8 much room on that corner. That's what these experts are going MR. NUFFER: That's one of the areas we're going to tell us. 11 12 You come through there MR. WESTON: 9 10 Can you to take a good close look at. A VOICE: 13 Just on the time frame fot the 14 environmental impact study, how long does that need to 15 proceed? MR. NUFFER: 16 Well, if all things go reasonably 17 well, we hope to complete the draft environmental impact 18 statement this summer, which will give you the environmental 19 datq to accompany these alternatives that we have identified where. 21 One more question. 22 A VOICE: I'm a little uncomfortable with the 23 monologue type input. I feel a little better with the more 24 dialogue type input. 25 says something, another person says something, and it's What's been happening is one person ) 42. �tough for both parties to get together. What my question 2 is, ultimately who makes the decision, and how is that 3 decision going to be made on what is actually done in the 4 canyon? 5 6 '" III o 7 MR. NUFFER: Does Howard or Todd care to answer that question? MR. HOWARD RICHARDSON: This draft environmental N ~ II: 8 impact statement will contain an inventory of all of the 9 o "- resources and the values that all parties have identified 10 in the canyon; and a recommended design will be recommended 11 or proposed, considering all of those things; and where 12 impacts or problems are perceived to take place, mitigations 13 and recommendations will be supplied in the environmental 14 impact statement containing what will happen. 15 There will be a public hearing that will be held 16 17 < o on that proposal and on those recommendations and on the 18 U that will contain the comments of people who wish to comment proposed mitigation. 19 U. S. Forest Service and the Federal Highway Administration 20 will make a determination of whether the environmental issues 21 and safety issues have been properly addressed and whether 22 that represents a reasonable and proper and prudent solution 23 to the problem at hand. After that has been heard, then the Z VI 101 II: "- ..: VI 101 ~ o 0{ I!) Z 101 II. 24 25 So the agencies, the sponsoring agencies are the ones who will make the final decision. It will be made 43. �only after a tremendous amount of input, of which these 2 meetings last night and tonight are only a part of. MR. ELLIOTT: 3 Another question. Is there a 4 possibLlity of having a citizens' advisory to that decision? 5 Has that been done? MR. RICHARDSON: 6 Well, I don't think that's--it's 7 possible to have that done on an informal basis. 8 would be simply a measure to help structure and make sure 9 that the problems are identified and the concerns were 10 properly put into the environmental document. MR. ELLIOTT: 11 12 But that Could you take that into consideration? MR. RICHARDSON: 13 Yes, I'm sure that will be taken 14 into consideration. 15 that. 16 meeting for several months, there has been 12 to 15 meetings 17 by the interdisciplinary team. 18 of varied interests of the resources and the values in the 19 canyon. 20 place. 21 22 23 On the The team and I were thinking about interd~sciplinary , team that has now been That represents a composite So there already is a type of that thing taking Yes, there is. MR. ELLIOTT: Is there any way of getting a record of what transpires next? MR. RICHARDSON: Well, those minutes are public 24 information, and minutes have been kept of all of those 25 meetings, and CH2M Hill are the guardians of those things. ,) 44. �~) They manufacture them and make them and circulate them for 2 each of the meetings, so that everybody knows what was done 3 last time, and they are reviewed and approved and discussed. 4 And, yes, those things are not secret. 5 for everybody who wants to look at them. 6 III o 7 MR. NUFFER: 8 ., . MR. ELLIOTT: MR. DAVE BAUMGARTNER: 9 They are available Thank you. Dave Baumgartner. As a suggestion to us all--and I haven't talked to Howard nor to Stan nor the 10 CM2H folks about this, the original design of that 11 environmental study is unique, and it really didn't operate 12 like we had thought it was going to at . the beginning. 13 had invited some members of the environmental community 14 to sit on that, because they had the major concerns with 15 the program. We 16 17 o needs that legitimately ought to be done on the highway. 18 < u I think most people recognize that there were 'And our thought in the beginning was to bring in those people 19 who had adverse views to that and help us work through the 20 process, so that that would go a little bit smoother. Z 'II W II: ... ~ 'II W ~ 21 But it's changed a little bit in its organization. o 0( z " 22 I would suggest to us who were on that team that we do what 23 he suggests and invite a responsible member from either 24 this side of the hill or however we want to do that, in 25 order to provide that balance that not only he, but several W IL 45. �others have suggested. I think we ought to consider that. 2 That's more of a statement to these guys than the crowd, 3 but I think it's a legitimate thing to bring up. 4 MR.

Title A name given to the resource Railroad Tracks Underwater Near Thistle 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.

DECISION The Federal Highway Administration (FHW A) concurs with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) in its selection of the Preferred Alternative as modified in this Record of Decision (ROD) for improvements to US Highway 89 (US-89) between Right Fork, milepost (mp) 383.47, and State Road 30, mp 411.75 , in Garden City . The modified Preferred Alrernative is described in Section B below. The modified Preferred Alternative is as presented in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) with the following modifications made as a result of input received on the FEIS and subsequent meetings and field reviews in order to further minimize harm to wetland/riparian habitat, visual resources and Section 4(0 resources : • The Lower Middle Canyon section has been extended 500 reet to mp 387.57 to better fit the surrounding terrain. The roadway begins to move further away from the river at this location. • Conso lidation of parking for Section 4(f) Site 6 , Ricks Spring, has been e liminated. This eliminates the left turn lane and retaining wall adjacent to the river. A shorter retaining wall set back from the river may still be required just south of the site. • Section 4(f) Site 13 , Winter Access Parking, will be reestablished at a lower elevation so that • Relocation of the Limber Pine Trailhead has been eliminated . • The detour at Burnt Bridge has been eliminated and widening will occur on the upstream side. This reduces the impact on riparian habitat. • For the first eight miles of the Upper Canyon (from mp 391.6 to Beaver Mountain road intersection), the previously proposed roadway width of 40 feet has been reduced to 34 feet. This reduces the impact on wetland and riparian areas , For areas with passing lanes through this eight miles, the previously proposed roadway width of 47 feet has been reduced to 44 feet. • • • The left turn lane at Temple Fork has been eliminated. Minimum roadway improvements at this site include a 34' section on US·89 and an improved vertical grade approach of Temple Fork road. Other improvements , such as an uphill right turn lane and an improved horiwntal angle of approach of Temple Fork Road , are secondary improvements which will only be constructed if they do not impact the river or require a substantial retaining wall . access can be maintained. US·89 Through Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Page 1 Section A: Decision �The above modifications are within the scope of the FE IS and their implementation will reduce the impacts from that presented in the FEIS . Therefore , the modifications are not of a nature that would require a Supplemental EIS . • I The purpose of and need for this project is to improve safety and the traffic carrying capacity of US89 from Right Fork in Logan Canyon to State Road 30 in Garden City. Safety will be improved by correcting existing substandard geometries , unsafe conditions. and deteriorated structures. The capacity of the highway will be increased to meet existing and projected traffic demands for a 20year planning horizon . Due to funding restraints , this project will be implemented through the development of several smaller projects. The first includes the urgent bridge upgrading and replacements. Other improvements in the canyon that will be implemented as runding becomes available. The selection of the modified Preferred Alternative was based on substantial input received by various federal and state agencies, local governments and the public , evaluation of technical repons , the Environmental Impact Statement, and further analysis and coordination made during development of this ROD . The sensitivity of the environment played an important role in the development of the modified Preferred Alternative. Numerous compromises to current highway standards (as recommended by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, AASHTO) were incorporated because impacts on the aquatic , wetland , riparian and visual environment would have been too great, and in some cases constructability was cost-prohibitive. Other actions taken into consideration in making this decision includes the recent nomination of US89 through Logan Canyon for inclusion on the National Highway System. This would change the classification of the highway from a minor arterial to a principal arterial. Though Congressional approval is pending , consideration has been given to how this would affect the decision being made for this project. Since the roadway already serves as a US Hiehway and Was desienated as s uch in accordance with previous luis.ation. the determination has been made that this action would not chanee the use or the hiehway. In this regard, the decision is made that if US-89 through Logan Canyon is included in the National Highway System, this designation will not affect the selection, or subsequent design, of the modified Preferred Alternative identified in this ROD. e • US-89 Through Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13. 1994) Page 2 Section A: Decision �• B. ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED Eight project alternatives , ranging from preserving the existing roadway to a standard AASHTO design , were considered in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). These include: • • • • • • • • • Standard Arterial Alternative Rich County North Alignment Alternative Rich County South Alignment Alternative Modified Standard Alternative Composite Alternative Spot Improvements Alternative Conservationists' Alternative No Action Alternative Alternate corridors were evaluated and included redesignation of Idaho State Highway 36 from Preston to Ovid , Idaho , and construction of a new highway through Blacksmith Fork Canyon. Because the distance between Logan and Wasatch Front communities and the Bear Lake area is shorter thrQugh Logan Canyon than through these other routes , most traffic would still tend to use US-89. The need to correct existing safety hazards/deficiencies , replace deteriorated bridges and pavement, and increase traffic carrying capacity would still be necessary . Environmental impacts and construction costs to improve the existing highway would be considerably less than for a new route . Furthermore, traffic volume on such a route would not justify a new road . Therefore, alternate corridors were not advanced into the EIS . The FEIS presented four project alternatives . These include: • • • • Preferred Alternative No Action Alternative Standard Arterial Alternative Conservationists' Alternative The Preferred Alternative as modified in this ROD is the environmentally preferred alternative that causes the least damage to the biological and physical environment while meeting the purpose and need . The modified Preferred Alternative was se lected because it offered the best balance berween the transportation needs of the corridor with the sensitive environmental restraints of the canyon. The other alternatives do not achieve this balance: The Standard Arterial Alternative is not sensitive to the environment; and , the Conservationists' and No Action Alternatives do not meet the purpose and need for the project. The Preferred Alternative, as modified, is supponed by federal and state agencies , and alllocaJ government entities. The Preferred Alternative, as presented in the FEIS , met opposition from much of the public. Several meetings and fie ld reviews with key individuals during development of this ROD has led to resolving many of the concerns and reaching a consensus on the modifications made . • The following is a detailed description of the four alternatives carried into the FEIS. The modifications to the Preferred Alternative identified in Section A, above, have been included in its US-89 Througb Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October (3, 1994) Considered Page 3 Section B: Alternatives �• description : Prererred Alternative (As Modified) The modified Preferred Alternative was developed to balance the transportation needs of the corridor with the impacts to the canyo n environment. The critical environmental restraints dictated that numerous compromises to AASHTO Design Standards were necessary . These compromises allowed environmental impacts to be minimized while controlling construction costs. Middle Canyon Due to the potential for impact to the threatened species, the Maguire Primrose and other substantial impacts on aquatic , wetland/riparian, and visual environment, the modified Preferred Alternative throughout this section proposes a substantial relaxation bf AASHTO Design Standards (which recommends a 4O-foot width throughout , plus several pasSing lanes) . Beginning at Right Fork (mp 383.47), the first four miles (lower Middle Canyon section) will maintain the existing roadway width of 26 feet. Present design speed and posted speed wi ll remain unchanged . Burnt Bridge (mp 385 .5) will be rep laced with a new structure 34-foot wide to allow for pedestrian use . Burnt Bridge will be constructed in stages, with widening occurring on the upstream side. The detour presented in the FEIS has been eliminated. The roadway wi ll be e levated at mp 386.2 (Logan Cave) and at mp 386.6 to eliminate a flooding potential, and a parking area will be constructed for Logan Cave visitors at mp 386.3. Curb and/or gutter through this section will be considered during design to help define the roadway and control debris rolling onto the highway . Curve 5 at mp 384.and curve 29 at mp 387 will be flattened if a 3-year accident analysis , at the time of construction, shows a concentration of accidents at either location in excess of the expected accident rate . In the year 2010, a Level of Service (LOS) "DIE" would be expected for this four mile section . In the remainder of the Middle Canyon section (from mp 387.57 to mp 391.6) the canyon begins to open up but is still somewhat restrictive. The roadway will be widened to a 34-foot width (two 12foot wide travel lanes and two 5-foot wide shoulders) through this section. Design and posted speeds will be 35 miles per hour (mph) . The 34 foot roadway width will serve as a transition between the 26 and 40 root roadway sections. Lower and Upper Twin Bridges (mp 387 .7 and 388.76, respectively) will be replaced with 38-foot wide structures on new alignment and the structure at Ricks Spring (mp 389.8) will be replaced on the same alignment. The previously proposed consolidation of parking for Section 4(f) Site 6, Ricks Spring, has been eliminated . Intersection improvements at Temple Fork (mp 389.2) include the 34' section on US-89 and an improved vertical grade approach of Temple Fork road . Other improvements , such as an uphill right turn lane and an improved horizontal angle of approach at Temple Fork Road are secondary improvements which will only be constructed if they do not impact the river or require a substantial retaining wall . The left turning lane previously proposed at Temple Fork has been eliminated. Six curves will be flattened through the Upper Middle Canyon. These include curve #33, 37, 39, 40, 43 , and 45. The roadway wi ll be raised about 2 feet from mp 390.2 to mp 391.1 to eliminate a flooding potential. In the year 2010, a LOS "0" would be expected for this section. US-89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of Oclober 13, 1994) Considered Page 4 Seclion B: AJlemalives e • �• Upper Canyon The Upper Canyon begins at mp 391.6 and continues to the Bear Lake Summit. The first eight miles of this section begins at the cattleguard at mp 391.6 and ends at SR-243 (Beaver Mountain Road Intersection) . The previously proposed roadway width of 40 feet through this first eight miles has been reduced to 34 feel as a result of input received on the FEIS . This 34-foot width provides for two 12-foot wide travel lanes and two 5-fool wide shoulders}. Passing/climbing lanes will be provided from mp 391.6 to mp 393.3 and from mp 394.9 to mp 396.5. Where passing lanes are provided , the previously proposed roadway width of 47 feet has been reduced to 44 feet (two 12-fool wide travel lanes, one 12-foot wide passing lane, one 5-foot shoulder and one 3-foot shoulder on the • passing lane side). Intersection improvements will be made at Tony Grove (mp 393.7), Red Banks Campground (mp 394.5), and Franklin Basin Road (mp 397.01) . Bridges wi ll be replaced on original alignment. Red Banks Bridge will be 38 feet wide unless tapers for the turn lanes into the campground run onto the bridge. The first Beaver Creek: Structure at Franklin Basin Road (mp 396.9) will be at least 52 feet wide to accommodate the Franklin Basin Intersection, and the Beaver Creek Structure at mp 397.5 will be 38 feet wide. Intersection improvements will be made at Beaver Mountain Road (mp 399.75) . The culvert that serves the Amazon Hollow, Stump Hollow and surrounding drainage areas will be widened to accommodate the widened transitions for the Beaver Mountain intersection. A width of 22 feet from the shoulder line to headwall on each side is required to avoid the need for guardrail protection. The total width would be at least 68 feet unless guardrail protection is selected during the design phase. Retaining wall s will be constructed between Beaver Creek and the roadway at mp 398.1 , mp 398.3, mp 398.6, and mp 398.9 to reduce impacts on the creek and adjacent wetlands . "Lay_downK type fencing will be provided in open range areas from about mp 391.6 to mp 397.2 along both sides of the roadway . Beyond the first eight miles, from the intersection with SR-243 (mp 399.75) and continuing to the Bear Lake Summit, the roadway will be widened to 40 feet (two 12-foot wide travel lanes and two 8-foot wide shoulders) . Passing/climbing lanes will be provided from mp 399.8 to mp 403 .0 , and from mp 404.6 continuing throughout the next section and ending at mp 410.6 . Where these passing/climbing lanes are provided, a 47-foot width (two 12-foot wide travel lanes, one 12-foot wide passing lane , one 8-foot shoulder, and one 3 foot shoulder on the passing lane side) will be required . Intersection improvements will be made at UDOT Maintenance Station (mp 402.38), and Forest Service Access Road (mp 404.75). The Winter Access Parking at mp 402. 1 will be re-established at a lower elevation so access can be provided. The design speed will be 50 mph throughout the Upper Canyon. Curves 69 , 70, 71, 76, and 80 will be flattened . In the year 2010, a LOS "C/O" would be expected throughout the Upper Canyon. Rich County Section • From the Bear Lake Summit to Bridgerland Subdivision (mp 404.75 to mp 409.4) the highway will be widened to 47 feet in order to accommodate a passing lane. (This would allow two 12-foot wide travel lanes, a 12-foot wide passing lane , one 8-fool shoulder, and one 3-foot shoulder on the passing lane side). The design speed will be 40 mph . On the Limberpine trailhead side, improvements will be restricted to be within 23 feet of the edge of the existing roadway. A delineation between the rOadway and parking area will be provided wilhin this 23 foot strip. The previously proposed US-89 Through Loaan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Considered Page 5 Section B: Alternatives �relocation of the trailhead and parking area has been dropped. Curves 85 , 88, 89, 92 , 94, 95 , 98, 101, and 102 will be flattened and curves 103, 104. and 105 will be flattened into a single curve , dependent upon relocation of alignment from Curve 105 to Curve 109. e From Bridgerland Subdivision to Garden City the highway width will be 40 feet (47 feet in passing lane areas), and the design speed will be 50 mph. Curves 109- 112, and 116 will be flattened, and access at mp 410.6 will be relocated. The climbing lane from the previous section will end at mp 410.6. In the year 2010, a LOS "0 " would be expected for the entire Rich County section. Intersection improvements will be made at the Sunrise Campground (mp 405 ,5) whi ch will also provjde access for the Bear Lake View Area, The intersection with SR-30 will be redesjgned with left and right-turn lanes. cyrb. gutter and sidewalk on US-89 and SR-3Q in the vicinity of this intersection. Intersection improvements will also be made at the access to the Brjdgerlaod Subdivjsion Cmp 409.4), A new intersection providing access to the BridgerJaod Subdivision will be constructed . This access will provide safer ingress and egress to the subdjvision. Intersection improvements to other existing and proposed subdivision accesses will be considered based on use requirements, roadway widening possibilities. and other engineering factors, No Action Alternative This alternative does not include any action to alter the width or location of the existing highway , although considerable construction activity would be necessary to conduct normal road maintenance, Such construction would include pavement replacement, replacement of structural elements on bridges and eventual bridge replacement , and improved signage, The existing roadway width of 26 feet would be maintained . In the year 2010, a LOS "DIE" would be expected for the Middle Canyon, LOS ~ D ~ for the Upper Canyon, and LOS "E" for the Rich County section, • This alternative is not a feasible and prudent alternative and was not selected because it does not meet the purpose and need of the project, Traffic carrying capacity would not be increased to meet the projected traffic volume, Safety hazards and inadequate opportunities for passing slow moving vehicles would not be corrected. This alternative is opposed by local governments and most of the public, Standard Arterial Alternative This alternative would maximize traffic capacity and safety by widening and improving the existing alignment of the highway to current AASHTO standards for a minor anerial road. The roadway wou ld include two 12-foot wide lanes and two 8-foot wide shoulders for a paved width of 40 feet. A third 12-foot wide climbing lane would be constructed along approximately 7,7 miles of the route . The shoulder width would be reduced to 3 feet on the climbing lane side, resulting in a paved width of 47 feet. Recovery areas , sloping gradually from the roadway to the natural grade, would result in a typical improved area of 66-98 feet. Bridges and drainage structures would be replaced , several on new alignments to straighten existing curves. Intersection improvements would also occur. This alternative would provide the best Level of Service. In the year 2010, a LOS "0" wou ld be expected for the Middle Canyon, LOS "C/O" for the Upper Canyon, and LOS "D" for the Rich County section. US-89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13 , 1994) Considered Page 6 Section B: Alternatives • �• This alternative is not a feasible and prudent alternative and was not selected because of the potential impact to the threatened Maguire primrose , substantial impacts to aquatic , riparian , and visual environments, and cost. This alternative would also impact the most Section 4(f) resources. This alternative is opposed by several government agencies and much of the public. Conservationists' Alternative The Conservationists' Alternative provides for improvements at various locations where there would be minimal environmental impacts. This alternative includes improved signing, bridge replacement, slow vehicle turnouts, some climbing lanes, and provides for paving and winter snow plowing of several parking areas. The existing roadway width of 26 feet would be maintained and the pavement would be replaced. Where climbing lanes are provided, the roadway width would be 43 feet. New bridges would be constructed to a 28-foot width, with Lower and Upper Twin Bridges being rep laced on new alignment. Tony Grove Intersection would be improved. Travelers would be advised of safety deficiencies by increasing the number of signs at selected locations. • • This alternative is not a feasible and prudent alternative and was not selected because it does not meet the purpose and need or the project. This alternative rails to adequately address safety and capacity needs . It would be an incremental improvement over the No Action Alternative by providing limited roadway improvements at selected locations. However, this alternative would fail to increase traffic-carrying capacity to meet projected traffic volumes , and would not eliminate many safety hazards. Bridges proposed to be 28 feet wide would be below AASHTO standards , causing continued hazardous conditions for bicyclists and pedestrians as well as vehicles. Only one intersection would be improved, resulting in unresolved safety concerns at several intersections such as Temple Fork, Red Banks Campground, and others. Additional signs to advise of substandard curves and other safety deficiencies is not adequate to provide long-term benefits as traffic volumes increase and would represent a constant liability situation. Only three climbing lanes , each approximately a half-mile long, would be provided. Climbing lanes would not be provided in the Rich County Section of the road. In the year 2010, a LOS "DIE" would be expected for the Middle Canyon, LOS "0" for the Upper Canyon , and LOS ME" for the Rich County section. This alternative is opposed by local governments, but had strong support from much of the public. US-89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Considered Page 7 Section B: AJtematives �C. SECTION 4(F) Section 4(f) applies to publicly owned land of a public park, recreation area, wi ldl ife/waterfowl refuge, or land of a historic site of National , State, or local significance as determined by the officials having jurisdiction over the park, recreation area, refuge or site. The Forest Service has determined that 15 recreation areas qualify as Section 4(f) resources within the project area. In addition, the State Historic Preservation Office has identified two historic sites. These 17 Section 4(f) resources are described in the Section 4(f) Statement (included in the FEIS). Constructive use of a Section 4(0 resource results when there is a substantial impairment caused by secondary impacts. There w ill be no substantial impairment caused by secondary impacts , therefore, constructive use of Section 4(0 resources will not occur. Changes to the Section 4(t) Evaluation , as a result of comments received on the FEIS, are addressed be low. The modified Preferred Alternative will impact three Section 4(t) resources. Alternatives considered to avoid Section 4(f) resources include: the No Action Alternative , which does not impact any Section 4(f) resource ; and the Conservationists' Alternative, which impacts one Section 4(f) resource . The Standard Arterial Alternative has a greater impact to Section 4(f) resources, impacting eight sites. These alternatives are described in the FEIS and in Section B, above. In addition to these alternatives, a site specific minor alignment adjustment was considered for avoiding each site. This minor alignment adjustment was presented in the Section 4(f) Statement and is summarized below for each impacted site.

The No Action , Conservationjsts', and Standard Arterial Alternatives are not feasible and prudent alternatives for reasons stated in Section B above . The site specific minor alignment adjustments are not feasible and prudent alternatives for reasons stated below under each impacted site. A combination of alternatives is not feasible and prudent because it would result in an inconsistent roadway, with unacceptable safety hazards and a reduced Level of Service. Based upon the above considerations , there is no feasible and prudent alternative to the use of Section 4(f) properties by the modified Preferred Alternative. The modified Preferred Alternative includes aJl possible planning to minimize harm . The basis for the above conclusions is explained below for each site. The three sites impacted by the modified Preferred Alternative include: Site 6 - Ricks Spring and Parking; Site 12 - Winter Access Parking Area at Beaver Mountain Road ; and Site 13 - Winter Access Parking. Each of these sites is used for parking. This use will continue after implementation of the modified Preferred Alternative. Since these sites are on USFS lands and managed by that agency , improvements will be completed consistent with USFS recommendations . Ricks Spring and Parking - Site 6 (mp 389.9) • In the FEISt the Preferred Alternative proposed that parking at this site be consolidated on one side to eliminate pedestrians crossing the roadway . This consolidation was dropped from the Preferred Alternative after a field review with the USFS on August 18. 1993 . At that time, it was determined that even if all parking was placed on one side, people would still park on both sides, and the remaining parking would not allow easy use of the site by recreational vehicles. In addition, the left turn lane to allow north-bound traffic access would require a retaining wall be placed adjacent to the river . A five foot strip on both sides of this site is required adjacent to the roadway to provide for the shoulder. Though the size of the site will be reduced , the modified Preferred Alternative would not reduce the amount of parking ability at this site. The use of this Section 4(0 property has been coordinated with and is supported by the USFS because the modified Preferred Alternative improves safety at this site as much as possible without requiring the retaining wall adjacent to the river. A shorter retaining wall, set back from the river's edge , may still be required just downstream from the site. Alternatives considered to avoid this site include the No Action and Conservationists' Alternative which do not address the safety concerns and are not feasible and prudent for reasons previously stated. Since the site is adjacent to Ricks Springs on one side and the Logan River on the other, there are no minor alignment adjustments that would avoid this site without direct impacts on Ricks Spring or the Logan River. • Measures to minimize harm at this site include consideration of pedestrian safety during design . The passing ability at this location will be eliminated and signing will be provided to warn motorists of pedestrian use at the Spring. Visibility at this location will be improved because of the 5-foot shoulders and replacement of the existing narrow bridge. Curbing of this site will also be considered US-89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) 4(Q Page 9 Section C: Section �• during design to better identify parking limits. Winter Access Parking at Beaver Mountain Road· Site 12 (mp 399.8) A 20 foot strip is required from this site to accommodate improvements to the intersection of US-89 and Beaver Mountain Road (SR-243). The parking area will be expanded to the northeast so that there will be no loss of parking. The use of this Section 4(f) property has been coordinated with and is supported by the USFS because this alternative will improve vehicle safety at the intersection of US-89 and Beaver Mountain Road, which accesses Beaver Mountain Ski Area. Alternatives considered to avoid this site include the No Action Alternative and a minor alignment adjustment. The Conservationists' and Standard Arterial Alternatives would also impact this site. The No Action Alternative would not provide intersection improvements and is not a feasible or prudent alternative for other reasons stated in Section B. The minor alignment adjustment requires that the road be widened only on the south side of the existing US-89. This adjustment was not se lected because it would require a an approximate to-foot fill and impact the natural drainage for the Amazon Hollow area , Measures to minimize harm include extending the remaining parking area to include at least as much parking as presently ex ists and paving the entire parking area to enhance use. Winter Access Parking - Site 13 (mp 402.1) This site is adjacent to a curve proposed to have the vertical and horizontal alignment improved . There is a difference in elevation of about 12 feet which would eliminate access to this site. However , this site will be reestablished at a lower elevation so that access can be maintained and the site will continue to provide at least as much parking as currently exists. The use of this Section 4(f) property has been coordinated with and is supported by the USFS because the modified Preferred Alternative corrects the deficiencies of the adjacent curve. e Alternatives considered to avoid this site include the No Action and Conservationists' Alternative and a minor alignment adjustment. The Standard Arterial Alternative would also impact this site. The No Action and Conservationists' Alternatives would not improve the vertical and horizontal alignment of this curve and are not a feasible or prudent alternative for other reasons stated in Section B. The minor alignment adjustment would require that the road be moved further away from the site so that access at the current elevation could be maintained. This would require additional cutting into the hillside and was not selected because it would further impact visual resources to a greater extent. Measures to minimize harm include reestablishing the parking site at a lower elevation so that access will be maintained . The site sits on a mound and lowering the elevation will result in approximately 1000 cubic yds of excess material and a small amount of upland vegetation will be eliminated by reestablishing this site. Limber Pine Trailhead - Site IS (mp 404.81) US-89 Througb Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13 , 1994) 4(1) Page 10 Section C: Section • �• The FEIS Slated that the Preferred Alternative would impact this site. Because of a correction lO the boundaries of this site, the modified Preferred Alternative will not impact this site. The FEIS shows the parking area at this site to be 60 X 300 feet and adjacent to the roadway . It also states that a 24foot strip would be required for the modified Preferred and Standard Arterial Alternatives. During the August 18, 1993 field review held with the USFS , an approximate 23-foot strip prior to the parking area was identified. This 23 feet consists of a 15 foot shoulder and an 8 foot curbed/vegetated median. The parking area was measured to be approximately 75 X 200 feet (see revised map in the Appendix). The USFS stated that the boundary for the Section 4(0 resource includes only the 75 X 200 foot area beyond the median . However, delineation of the parking area from the roadway would need to be maintained in order to avoid impacts to this site. All improvements on the trailhead side will be accomplished within 23 feet of the edge of the roadway , and a delineation will be provided within this 23-foot area in accordance with USFS recommendations. Relocation of the trailhead and parking has been dropped from the Preferred Alternative. The same would apply for the Standard Arterial Alternative. Therefore, there would be no impact to Site 15 by any of the alternatives . • • US-89 Through Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) 4(1) Page 11 Section C: Section �D. MEASURES TO MINIMIZE HARM Throughout development of the Preferred Alternative, and subsequent modifications , consideration has been given to avoiding and minimizing harm to sensitive resources . Protection of the river and surrounding wetland /riparian edge, avoidance of a threatened species , avoidance and minimizing harm to wetland/ riparian habitat, visual , and section 4(f) resources of the canyon played an important role in its development and selection. As a result, minimal construction will occur in the ecologically sensitive Middle Section of the canyon , bridges will c1ear·span the river . retaining walls will be used to limit encroachment into sensitive areas. and treatment of clearzones will be mod ified from AASHTO recommendations. Since the FEIS , the Preferred Alternative has been modified (see Section A of this ROD) to further reduce these impacts. All practicable measures to avoid impacts and minimize environmental harm have been incorporated into the decis ion made in this ROD based on the conceptual level of design utilized in the [IS process . Emphasis will continue to be made throughout detailed design and construction to further avoid impacts and minimize harm to environmental resources. Horizontal and vertical alignments will be manipulated to provide a M best fit M design . Interested government agencies , local governments , the environmental community and the community at large will continue to be involved as part of a Cooperating Advisory Team (CAT) . This team will participate in the development or all &Soecls of desien and in the resolution of unforeseen environmental problems that arise durine construction and post construction. This team will be developed as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the FHW A, UDOT and the USFS . Details regarding the fonnation and operation of this team can be found in the MOU (see Appendix) and is summarized in Section E of this ROD. In addition to the measures taken to avoid impacts and minimize harm, opportunities ror enhancement will be considered, as appropriate. Application ror runding or enhancement projects would be made as provided for in the 1991 Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (JSTEA). • • Clearzone Considerations Impacts will be minimized by the treatment of c1earzones. Clearzones will be handled by relaxing AASHTO Standards (which recommends removal of hazards within the clearzone area, or protection of those that cannot be removed). The design of clearzones will focus on preservation of aesthetic and ecological features to the extent possible while considering safety. Safety hazards within the c1earzone area will be considered for protection, removal , or no action. The prime directive will be to minimize impacts to wetlands and riparian habitat adjacent to the roadway without jeopardizing safety. Considerable emphasis will be given to protection or no action, and removal of hazards caused by natural conditions will be kept to a minimum . The clearzone area begins at the outside edge of the traffic lane and is 18 feet wide at 25, 35, or 40 mph and 22 feet wide at 50 mph . However, the intent is not to clear a swath 18-22 feet wide adjacent to the travel lane . No clearzone area will be provided in the first four miles or the middle canyon, however, substantial hazards within this area will be considered for protection. US-89 Througb Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13. 1994) Page 12 HanD Section D: Measures to Minimize • �e Design Considerations Through the various meetings and fi eld rev iews held during development of mis ROD , a limited number of site specific areas were identified where design considerations were of panicular interest. The following list is not intended to be all inclus ive, but representative of considerations which will be made during design . Aesthetic impacts at many of these locations was also of concern. These impacts will be minimized in accordance with the revegetation plan. This plan will include the use of native plant species; slope rounding and warping of land form impacts; aging rock faces which contrast with older cuts; removing abandoned roadways and restoring them to blend with surrounding contours. • • • Curves 5 & 29 - Accident studies will be handled by reviewing the current three year accident period at time of construction. The number, type, cause and severity of accidents will be reviewed to determine if correction of geometric deficiencies could alleviate accidents. The UDOT Dynamic Quicklisting and officer's individual accident reports will be the source of this information. Aesthetic impacts will be reduced by manipulating the horizontal andlor vertical alignment, and by moving away fro m the river . LoWer Twin Bridge - The total width of cut will be based on the roadway width requirement combined with the angle of repose of the existing material. • Dugway - Widening at this location will be on the cut side to avoid disturbance of the downhill slope. Only the minimum cut required for necessary widening will be constructed . The width of additional cut will be a maximum of 8 feet. • Upper Twin Bridge - The alignment shift will be based on the minimum amount necessary to allow a new bridge to be constructed while allowing traffic to utilize the existing structure . One or two way traffic control configurations for construction will be considered . • Temple Fork - Minimum roadway improvements at this site include a 34' section on US-89 and an improved vertical grade approach of Temple Fork road . Other improvements such as an uphill right tum lane and an improved horizontal angle of approach of Temple Fork road are secondary improvements which will not be constructed if they impact the river or require a substantial retaining wall. Environmental impacts and construction costs will be weighed against the benefits gained. • Passing Lanes in Lower Upper Canyon of Section 2 - The location of passing lanes in the first eight mi les of the Upper Canyon will be evaluated further during detailed design to assess additional measures to avoid or minimize harm to wetlands. The evaluation will address leaving the lanes in the location described herein , or combining and relocating into a single section. Passing lane(s) in this section are a necessary safety improvement and the decision will be based upon minimizing the impact to the environment (L e .• wetlands, visual) relative to the safety benefit of this improvement. Emphasis will be to shift the alignment away from the river. US-89 1brougb Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Hann Page 13 Section D: Measures to Minimize �• Beaver Creek, Franklin Basin Bridge - Horizontal and vertical alignments will be modified to obtain a H best fit alignment relative to the sensitive environmental features . The reduction in the proposed roadway width to 34' also minimizes riparian impacts. Retaining walls andlor guardrail sections are anticipated and will be utilized to reduce or avoid impact to sensitive areas. Specific locations for these treatments will be identified in the detailed H • roadway design process. • Culvert at Amazon Hollow, Stump Hollow and Surrounding Drainage Area - The impact to wetlands at the Amazon Hollow, Stump Hollow and surrounding drainage area as a result of roadway widening for the Beaver Mountain turning Janes will be further evaluated during detailed design. This may include shortening the turn lane storage bay lengths and/or utilization of guardrail to shorten the culvert. • Tony Grove, Beaver Mountain, Franklin Basin Intersections - Improvements at these intersections in the form of left and right turning lanes are a necessary safety improvement. Except for the Franklin Basin Intersection, sensitive environmental features will likely not be heavily impacted. The uses of retaining wall and guardrail will be considered in reducing or avoiding impacts. Again, a "best fit " design will be implemented. Remaining impacts will be minimized with mitigative efforts. • Passing Lane Above Beaver Mountain Turnoff - The alignment shift at curves 69, 70, and 71 will be subjected to a best fit design analysis including exceptions to design standards. Realignment around the mature forest will be the design objective. The degree of cut or fill in obtaining the necessary roadway width is not yet known , but will be determined in the detailed design process. * Curve 85, and the Mature Forest near Limber Pine - The footprint of the roadway is affected by design speed (curve flattening) , nominal roadway width, and climbing lane. The use of retaining walls and/or guardrails to limit the extent of fills will be considered . These activities could reduce the extent of the fill by 40-100 feet, whereas eliminating the climbing lane would only gain an additional 7 feet. The use of a structure has also been considered but will not likely be advanced due to potential icing problems at this location. Realignment options at this location may exist and will be evaluated during design . Ending the passing lane on an uphill section would not meet design standards and is not desirable because of the potential safety conflict. Slower moving vehicles would be required to merge into a faster stream of traffic. The abandoned road and existing fill would be removed and the ground restored to blend with the surrounding contours. * Old Road from the Limber Pine Summit to Garden City - Sections of the existing alignment abandoned due to realignments or curve flatlenings will be handled in accordance with the revegetation plan. Abandoned roadway sections will be removed and the ground restored to blend with surrounding contours. In some cases the old road would be necessary for local access and will remain in use. • Section Ib Crom Rick Springs to Section 2 - The alignment will be shifted away from the adjacent riparian habitat and the river. It will be adjusted to obtain a "best fit" design. US-89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13. 1994) Page 14 Hann Section D: Measures to Minimize • • �• Retaining walls will be considered where needed to avoid or reduce impacts. • Impacts from Mitigation - The first priority will be to reduce the amount of impact through design . Secondly . mitigative areas will be closely evaluated and selected based on potential for success, as well as consideration to impacts caused by construction of the mitigative areas. The Forest Service and the Corps of Engineers will be working with UDOT to ensure that a balance between visual concerns and the need for wetland mitigation in advance of highway construction is achieved. As design is advanced , possible locations where mitigation can be accomplished on site may be identified (i.e. possible strips of wetland adjacent to the roadway in the lower Upper Canyon). In some cases, mitigation areas may be selected that are not as visible from the road. Land Use The modified Preferred Alternative will improve accessibility to various land uses within the area . Forest Service Plan • • A revegetation plan will be developed by UDOT and approved by the USFS during design of individual projects to ensure that areas of high visual quality and critical habitat are avoided, where practicable, and that disturbed areas are appropriately revegetated . • A construction/post-construction monitoring plan will be developed and implemented by UOOT and approved by the USFS during design of individual projects in order to identify sensitive areas where monitoring is needed . These areas and types of monitoring required will be identified in the project plans and specifications for each project. • • Amendment of the Forest Plan for the Wasatch-Cache National Forest is required under the administrative procedures of the US FS for impacts to visual quality and reduction of the habitat condition index. Best Management Practices will be implemented to control erosion, thereby meeting the water and soils management directive of the Forest Plan. Detailed Best Management Practices will be developed during design for each project. Cache County Plan • UOOT's Best Management Practices will be used to minimize water quality degradation, minimize vegetative removal , and minimize cut and fill . This complies with requirements of the Cache County Plan which specifies that destruction of natural vegetation be minimized. cut and fill operations be minimized to reduce runoff and erosion , while providing for appropriate public roads. Rich County Plan • No measures to minimize harm are required . US-89 Through Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13. 1994) Hann Page IS Section D: Measures to Minimize �Social Impacts Measures to . minimize harm are required to address access concerns of the various users . • Access to Existing and Proposed Subdivisions .. A new intersection providing access to the Bridgerland Subdivision will be constructed . This access will provide safer ingress and egress to the subdivision. • Access at mp 410.6 in Garden City would be relocated by closing the present access and providing a new access from another public street, if possible. If the access cannot be closed, then it would be relocated to an improved location , providing the best design possible. A combination with access at mp 410.7 may be practicable. The access at mp 410.7 would be considered accord ing to the same criteria as the access at my 410.6. • Intersection improvements to other existing and proposed subdivision accesses will be considered based on use requirements, roadway widening possibilities, and other engineering factors. Garden City will be involved in identiCying these requirements. Access to Recreation Within the Canyon • Accessibility will be improved by providing intersection improvements , eliminating or mitigating hazards , and improving the Level of Service. • Present parking turnouts will be improved and new turnouts will be placed in recognition of any eliminated rumouts. Additional turnouts which attain at least two parking stalls with adequate sight distance will also be considered. Exact locations will be determined during design and in conjunction with USFS recommendations. • Relocation • The acquisition and relocation program will be conducted in accordance with the Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970, as amended . • Acquisition of publicly-owned lands will be undertaken in accordance with the regulations of each land management agency . • Grazing activities regulated by the USFS and the State of Utah will not be affected . However. fencing along the highway from just below Tony Grove to Franklin Basin will be considered to reduce the number of cattle· vehicle accidents. EmploymentlEconomics • The canyon will remain open during construction to minimize employment/economic impacts related to road closure. A traffic control plan will be developed during design phase. Temporary short·term closures to through traffic are expected. Local access to US-89 Through Logan Canyon. ROD (DJ'ft of October 13. 1994) Page 16 Hann Section D: Measures to Minimize • �• recreation traffic is expected to be maintained. Joint Development • Coordination has been made and will continue to be made with the USFS to develop a highway which meets , to the extent possible, the goals of both UOOT and the USFS . Pedestrians and Bicyclists • • A wider roadway with shoulders is being provided through much of the project. Paving of parking areas will discourage the use of non·designated parking locations which are hazardous to vehicle-passengers who SlOP and leave their vehicle and to bicyclists who may encounter vehicles quickly turning onto or off of the roadway . Burnt Bridge will be constructed to a 34-foot width to allow safer pedestrian and bicyclist use. Water Quality Impacts • • Sedimentation and siltation control during the construction phase will include application of Best Management Practices. UDOT's Standard Temporary Erosion Control plans will be implemented during construction. • During construction, the surface area of erodible soils that are exposed at anyone time will be limited . • Temporary pollution/erosion control provisions will be coordinated with permanent soil erosion control measures to assure maximum attainable erosion control. The use of detailed erosion control plan sheets will be considered that include locations of erosion control facilities. These locations would then be subject to field evaluation. Permits UDOT will coordinate development of permit applications with the various agencies so that their recommendations can be integrated into roadway design. Construction of the project will require the following permits: Stream Alteration Permit • • A Stream Alteration Permit is required by the State Engineer's Office, Utah Division of Water Rights for bridge and culvert replacement. This does not involve channelization or relocation of the stream, but would involve riprap . Section 404 Permit US-89 Through Logan Canyon. ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Hann Page 17 Section 0: Measures to Minimize �• A Section 404 Permit to discharge dredge or fill materials into a water of the United States is required by the US Army Corps of Engineers (COE) where construction activities impact jurisdictional wetlands . • Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System Permit • Utah Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit will be required for any project which disturbs more than 5 acres of surface area during construction. The UPDES General Storm Water Discharge Permit issued to UDOT by the Utah Department of Environmental Quality will apply. As part of the requirements of this permit, Storm Water Pollution Prevention (SWPP) plan will be developed and incorporated in the final design plans. Also a Notice of Intent (NOI) form shall also be submitted to Utah Division of Water Quality prior to construction of the project. For any project disturbing less than 5 acres, the UPDES General Storm Water Discharge Permit will not apply . However, UOOT's standard plans for temporary erosion and sediment control will be implemented during construction to alleviate any potential erosion or sediment. Right-of-Way/Special Use Permit • The FEIS states that a Right-of-Way/Special Use Permit is required from the USFS , Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The USFS has recently advised UOOT that Forest Service policy requires issuance of a transportation easement, rather than a special use permit. This decision will be made in the USFS Record of Decision. Wetlands and Botanical Resources • A wetland mitigation plan will be developed during the design phase under the guidelines of Section 404 of the Clean Water Act and Executive Order 11990 as administered by the COE. Additional opportunities to avoid or minimize wetland impacts will be identified throughout design . Replacement of eliminated wetlands will be in-kind , based on functional value . The first priority will be to reduce the amount of impact through design. Secondly, mitigative areas will be closely evaluated and selected based on potential for success, as well as consideration of impacts caused by construction of the mitigative areas . • Advance mitigation will be developed with the first project and considered on future projects so that impacts can be mitigated prior to being impacted, where practicable. The acreage , sites , and design of the wetland mitigation sites, and advance mitigation, will continue to be coordinated with and agreed to by the COE and the USFS during design , so that visual and wetland concerns can be balanced. • Construction document specifications will limit encroachment into wetlands and riparian areas to that required for construction. On site inspections in accordance with the construction monitoring plan will ensure compliance with these provisions. • Construction work zones will be delineated through the use of fencing in sensitive areas to ensure contractor compliance with environmental limits of operations. • US-89 Through Logan Hann Canyo~, ROD (Draft of October 13 , 1994) Page 18 Section D: Measures to Minimize • �• The construction/post construction monitoring plan will require that qualified UDOT representative(s), acceptable [0 the COE, will be in charge of assisting designers and the project engineer in designing and constructing the wetland mitigation areas . Upon completion of the project, the representative(s) will also monitor the mitigation sites once a year for three years. This includes taking photographs and sending them with a brief progress report to the COE each year . At the end of the three years, if the wetland mitigation areas have not developed to the satisfaction of the CDE, then through consultation with the COE, appropriate steps will be taken by UDOT to fulfill Section 404 permit requirements for the project. • A revegetation plan will be developed and implemented to revegetate disturbed areas. The revegetation plan will be developed with the assistance of USFS and other CAT team members. • Burnt Bridge will be constructed in stages, with widening occurring on the upstream side , eliminating the detour presented in the FEIS. • In addition to the reduced width presented in the FEIS for the Middle Canyon , the previously proposed roadway width of 40' for the fir st eight miles of the Upper Canyon Section has been reduced to 34' to further minimize impacts on wetlands. • Location of passing lanes in the first eight miles of the Upper Canyon will be evaluated further during detailed design to assess additional measures to avoid or minimize harm to wetland s caused by these passing lanes . The evaluation will address leaving the lanes in the location described herein, or combining and relocating into a single section. Safety considerations will also play a role in the final placement. • Impact to wetlands at Amazon Hollow , Stump Hollow and surrounding drainage area as a result of roadway widening for the Beaver Mountain turning lanes will be further evaluated during detailed des ign . This may include shonening the turn lane storage bay lengths and/or utilizing guardrail to shorten the culvert. • • • Requirements identified in the Section 404 Permit will be complied with. Water Body Modifications and Wildlir. Impacts • • Clear span bridges will be used rather than in-river pier suppons to minimize water body modifications. • • Additional animal crossing signs will be provided in high conflict locations in consultation with Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR). The amount and necessity of riprap required for erosion control at bridges will be evaluated on a case by case basis during final design . Riprap will be used only where required to stabilize the streambank. Riprap will not exceed 100 feet along both banks up- and downstream from each new bridge. Since riprap will not be required at each of these locations, US-89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Page 19 H"m Seclion D: Measures to Minimize �the actual use of riprap will be minimal. • Construction activities in watercourses will be minimized to the extent possible. Construction work zones will be delineated to ensure contractor compliance. • Existing river and creek hydraulics will be maintained by avoiding the encroachment of any required riprap into channels. Impacts to wildlife will be minimized by limiting , to the extent practical , vegetative and riparian habitat clearing. • Highway bridges will be elevated with no part of the bridge suppan systems being placed in the river . Bridge spans will allow for animal runway in cases where this feature is currently provided. • • The following mitigation measures emphasize protection or replacement of vegetative cover for fisheries . These mitigation measures apply 10 the Logan River and Beaver Creek, and will also apply to their tributaries that are important to adult and juvenile fish , as determined by UDWR and USFS. Construction activities near the river will occur during the drier, low-flow month s of the year to the extent practicable . Clear-span bridges rather than in-river pier suppons will be constructed. Culvens will be designed to allow fish passage. Heavy equipment wil l be kept out of the channel during all construction phases to the extent practicable. Unavoidable in-channel activities will be scheduled in coordination with the USFS and UDWR to minimize impacts during critical fisheries periods. Such activities will be brief and local . • Temporary dikes and sediment basins will be constructed during bridge and structure replacement to prevent turbid runoff and any accidental spills of fuels , lubricants, chemicals, or sewage (from portable sanitary facilities) from entering the river , creek, or tributaries . Construction activities will be limited to areas within construction work zones, as delineated through the use of fencing , to minimize habitat losses. All work will be conducted from the inland side of the highway where possible to avoid in-channel activities and minimize riparian habitat and riverbank disturbance. Existing river and creek hydraulics will be maintained by avoiding the encroachment of required riprap into the channels. The free-nowing nature of the river will be maintained. Fill slopes will not be steeper than 2: I to promote bank stability and reclamation . US-89 Through Logan Canyoo, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Hann Page 20 Section 0 : Measures to Minimize • �• Drainage ditches and sediment basins will be located in accordance with the detailed Best Management Practices to minimize erosion and to prevent eroded material from being washed toward the river. Runoff along the river-side of the curb and gutter in the Middle Canyon section will be directed toward the inland side of the highway. where practicable, to minimize the discharge to the river of materials that accumulate on the highway. A band of riparian habitat will be maintained along the river and creek wherever possible to provide overhanging cover for fish and to filter surface runoff. Larger mature trees and their root systems will be protected where it does not conflict with vehicles and passenger safe£}'o Prior to the start of the next wet season. disturbed areas , where possible, will be stabilized, reseeded , and revegetated. Riprap and debris generated during future highway and shoulder maintenance would not be indiscriminately placed along the river banks. • • Mitigation measures described above are intended to minimize impacts on water quality and fisheries . The following will also be accomplished to ensure success of mitigation measures: Fishery studies will be conducted for individual projects which have the potential tQ impact fisheries. Prior tQ construction. available UDWR fisheries studies will be assessed and if necessary updated to provide baseline data to determine project impacts to fisheries . Post construction fishery studies will be conducted . If study results show additional mitigation measures are warranted as a result of project activities. mitigation directed at wild fish stocks will be carried out under the direction of USES and UDWR biologists as exp lained in the FEIS on pg 5-6, Floodplain Impacts • Bridges will c1earspan watercourses in order to minimize floodplain encroachment. Excess fill material will not be placed in the floodway. • Bridge and culvert openings will be sized so that floodplain elevations will not be increased . • Construction activities will be in compliance with Executive Order 11988 to reduce the risk of flood Josses; to minimize the impact of floods on human health, safety and welfare; and to restore and preserve the national and beneficial values served by floodplains. Threatened and Endangered Species • The Middle Canyon contains habitat for the Primyla maguirei (threatened species). The USF&WS has stated that the Preferred Alternative will have no effect on this species. In order to minimize US·89 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Harm Page 21 Section 0: Measures to Minimize �potential impacts , the recommendations of Welsh (1987) and the USF&WS will be followed . These recommendations include: • Construction activities from Wood Camp Intersection to mp 385.0 will be restricted to a corridor width of less than 40 feet. • Changes in the geomorphology of Logan Canyon will be limited to the extent practical. • Removal of canyon bottom tree groves will be limited . • Dust suppression measures will be used during construction activities. Construction in the area near populations will be undertaken no earlier than June to avoid potential dust impacts during the flowering period (April-May) , • e Blasting in the Middle Canyon will be avoided whenever possible. Barriers preventing scattering of blast debris on these populations will be provided if blasting is necessary . Visual Impacts • A revegetation plan will be developed during design and coordinated with the USFS to minimize harm to visual resources . This plan will be implemented in the project plans and specifications for each project. This plan will include use of native plant species. Mitigation of landform impacts will be accomplished by slope rounding and warping to make cuts, fills , and ditch edges appear more natural . Rock faces, contrasting with older cuts, will be aged with treatments. In places where the current alignment is abandoned, the roadway will be removed and the ground restored to blend with surrounding contours. The plan will identify seed mixes compatible with local plant communities. • Levels of visual quality adjacent to the roadway of 0, 1 and 2 will be raised to level 3, except when a more appropriate direction is determined by the USFS. • The acreage , sites and design of advance mitigation will be agreed to by the USFS during design so that visual and wetland concerns can be balanced . • • Steel beam guardrail will be the hazard protection device encouraged for use. The use of A588 rusting steel, natural finish material for the guardrail for aesthetic purposes will be considered . Construction Impacts Blasting • A Special Provisiol'} will be included in the project plans to ensure blasting will be controlled to inhibit rock materials from being projected away from the blast area, and removing only designated material .

ROD (Draft of October 13,1994) Page 22 Hann Section 0 : Measures to Minimize • �• • • If any critical wildlife periods are identified by UDWR during des ign , these will be given consideration , and if appropriate , timing of blasting will be limited. Blasting in the Middle Canyon will be avo ided whenever possible. Barriers preventing blast debris onto Maguire primrose populations will be provided if blasting is necessary . Spoil • Environme ntal clearance will be obtained on the d isposal site, prior to disposal of excess material . • Excess materials that are not used in roadway construction or restoratio n of the borrow area near Bear Lake Summit, will be disposed of in locations determined on a case-by-case basis by the CAT team and approved by USFS . Excess materials may be utilized in the canyon, stock piled for future use, or transported out of the canyon. Air Quality • • Dust suppression measures will be implemented during construction . These measures will include water sprinkling, speed limits on haul road , and use of environmentally safe stabilization chemicals. Noise • The construction contractor will be required to comply with UDOT Specification No . 104. 16 (formerly 107.24) "Noise and Vibration Contro l". Traffic Congestion , Detours and Safety • A detailed traffic control plan will be developed during the design phase to minimize traffic congestion; provide for construction detours and short·term road closures; and address vehicle, pedestrian, and bicycle safety. Toxic Material Control • A spill control plan for motor fuels, oil, grease and chemicals will be developed during the design phase. This plan will address measures to minimize accidental releases of toxic materials to the environment and measures to respond to and clean up spilled material. Historic and Archeological Preservation • UOOT Standard Specification No . 104. 15 (formerly 107 .23) , "Discovery Propenies" will be included in all contracts to protect unknown historic and archeological resources . • Hazardous Waste US·89 Through Logan CanYOD, ROD (DOlft of October 13, 1994) Page 23 H.m> SectioD 0 : Measures 10 Minimize �• If evidence of Hazardous Waste is found during construction the Department of Enviro nmental Quality will be consulted and appropriate mitigation measures will be implemented. • Staging Areas • Construction staging sites will be identified and coordinated through the CAT team during design . They will be kept out of aquatic, wetland, and riparian habitat and other sensitive visual areas. • Environmental clearance on construction staging sites will be obtained during design and the contractor will be limited to the use of staging areas identified in the project construction plans. • Staging sites will be approved by the USFS. Batch Plant Locations • The traffic, safety, reneation. and air quality impacts associated with hauling material rrom the city versus setting up a batch plant in the canyon will be identified on a project by project basis in design. The affect of these impacts on both the canyon environment and the city environment will be considered. The assessment will include impacts on the Lower Canyon and compatibility with future projects. The most suitable location will be identified in the prgject specifications.
