The canyon is a beautiful place, however, I feel that with good common sense and concern for the environment, greatly needed improvements such as bridge replacement, pavement widening and passing lanes or turn-outs can be constructed.

Phyllis Smart - Montpelier, Idaho Name Comments: 83254 Unsafe driving conditions on Logan Canyon road are due to: (1) narrow bridges, sharp curves, narrow road and little shoulder. (2) when long lines of cars, trucks, trailers etc. exist, there always seem to be one or two who take chances in passing. Not only does this endanger lives but also causes mental stress to drivers and passengers. (3) narrow winding roads through the canyon makes it almost impossible to try to avoid an accident by moving to another lane of traffic or to the shoulder area. Deer and cattle on the road could be more easily avoided if there was another lane of traffic or more shoulder room. ( ( ~, (there would be less dented fenders & broken head lights). Also accidents due to winter conditions (vehicle sliding etc.) would . be less if another lane was available. If one has an appointment etc. during the summer, at least one half hour more time is needed due to slow traffic (sight seers, heavy loads, trailers, tourists all travel at a slower speed than the posted speed limit. Drivers who are not familar with the road or canyon driving tend to drive much slower and use their brakes quickly upon coming to a curve). Many Montpelier drivers use the road to Preston vs Logan canyon road due to the unsafe conditions listed above. Mileage wise there is very little difference. I commend the Highway Department for their "being on the job" ( during winter conditions as they do a good job in keeping the road passable. SLC87/26 Some tourists who have stopped at the place I work do not like that road and if you mention the beauty of the canyon, river etc. they have failed to notice it as they were so busy with just driving the canyon road!

We travel the road once or twice a week in the summer months to take care of the 40 acres in Fish Haven and down to Ogden to take care of our home there. The traffic is real heavy most of the time and at times it is very dangerous to drive in mornings and evenings, when the sun is in your eyes. We would appreciate having the road widened and improved not only for our selves but family, friends and others who travel Highway 89. We appreciate your interest, concern and energy in trying to get improvements made on roads and the Bear Lake area. As you know Highway 89 extends from Canada to Mexico and we thank you for the effort you put forth to get improvements made. l;,rl ~ =~1jJ;;;:/ · G~/rDorJ.s ec Stock Your neighbors over the hill in Fish Haven Canyon �f November 12, 1986 Mr. Clifford R. Forsgren, P.E. NOV 1 ? 198B CH2M Hill, Consulting Engineers P. o. Box 2218 Salt Lake City, utah 84101 Re: Highway u.s. 89 - Logan Canyon Study Dear Mr. Forsgren: I've just read the November, 1986 Summary Fact Sheet concerning the referenced project study. One statenent in particular causes ne considerable alarm. On the last page, paragraph three states, "During the tour, it was suggested by some present that the Canyon should be treated as a recreational corridor (a destination) rather than as a transp::>rtation link (a conduit for traffic). Recreational use of the corridor should be given priority over transp::>rtation use whenever a decision involving trade-offs is to be made in the study. " ( ( No one disputes the recreational value of Logan Canyon. People skiing, camping, picnicing, haul ing f irev.DOd., etc. go to the canyon for a specific purpose. I use the canyon for these activities myself. But to categorically give priority to recreational use over transp::>rtation needs borders on the absurd, in my opinion. A native of Bear Lake County, and still owning property there, I strongly protest the idea of recreational priority. Perhaps residents of cache and Box Elder Counties consider the canyon a destination rrore than a transp::>rtation link, but residents of , other areas rrost certainly do not. I submit that rrost weekend traffic from OJden, Salt Lake, and Provo in the sumrrertine ends up in Bear Lake, not in Logan Canyon. Ask the people in Bear Lake and Rich Counties and beyond, even into Wyoming, how many stop in the canyon as opp::>sed to those who use the route for access to Logan, OJden, or Salt Lake. I assure you, that canyon exists as a vital link connecting them to these other areas. I repeat, to consider other priorities ahead of transp::>rtation demonstrates seriously faulty thinking. Certainly only a fanatical environnentalist who would have us all backpacking through the canyon could seriously suggest such a thing. ( let's be reasonable, Mr. Forsgren. Certainly recreation has its place and deserves consideration, but not at the expense of those who depend on that highway for transportation. I was born in lDgan. As a youth, I traveled through the canyon for lTUSic lessons, medical care, shopping, etc. alnnst ~kly. Now I drive it dozens of times each year for business and pleasure. Sometines �2 I stop for recreational purposes, too. But I believe those people on the other side of the mountain deserve better than to stand in jeopardy because of special interests groups whose access to the ~rld is provided by a six-lane freeway and see lA>gan Canyon only in tenus f their limited, selfish needs. / st\rel , Y:en~1j1;ent 107 East Ma.in Hyrum, utah 84319 cc: ( ( Gale larson, Valley Engineering, Inc. �US 89 - LOGAN CANYON STUDY Your comments are requested, and can be provided below. Thorras C. Jensen, 1750 Foothill Drive, lDgan, UT Name 84321 Comments: I have lived and operat.ed my business in lDgan for the past 10 years. One of the prime reasons for selecting lDgan was the natural beauty and adjacent wilderness areas. However, I feel that there needs to be a reasonable and balanced approach to the natural beauty and wilderness in regards to highway design and rraint.enance and 1) SafctV' - ilCC2SS through these areas. The nurrerous accidents in the Logan Canyon area testify to the need for proper passing and slow lanes. I have personally witnessed or experienced rrany "near-misses" as a result of blind corners, ice build-up from cross drainage ( in late spring, narrow bridges, and limited passing lanes ( causing backups and "daredevil passes." 2) Access Route: Logan Canyon is not only a scenic drive, it is the rrajor artery to lDgan from Rich County. The highway must be travelled in dangerous conditions by service and delivery agents, professional services, truck traffic, temple visitors, tourists, and shopping excursions for the citizens of Rich County. Travel in the canyon becomes a very serious considera- tion in winter and spring due to very hazardous conditions, and summer due to slow moving R.V. traffi<;:. Commerce is drastically hampered. No one is askingfolr a super-highway, or for cOl11fl'ercial develOJ?l!Ent that ( ( \'.QuId seriously reduce the natural attractiveness of the canyon. It is SLC87/26 of questionalYle value however, if the canyon highway is left in its current dangerous condition. If this artery of cOl11fl'erce and tourism �US 89 - lDgan Canyon Study / Thomas C.

Stan: Well, as you know, there are several hairpin curves on that alignment. We will be looking at that alignment, we are not discarding it, but we are saying, Is there another way? There is some unstable ground in that alignment that the Highway Dept. has had to deal with over the years. And it is now being built up along this portion of the road. We were just asked by the Highway Dept. to look at the ~ossibilities, to review the whole route. If therp is not a better way, we'll find out, if there is, maybe it is worth looking at· in more detail. Price: I have a question for Commissioner Weston. What kind of priority is. the Highway Department assigning to this project? Todd Weston: Well, very low. I've got to answer that honestly. The problem we are in with money right now, we can't separate funds from the north part, south part, or Wasatch Front and with the problems we've got on the Wasatch Front right now, funding for this project is considerably down the road a ways. That is as honest an answer as I can give you. It is not a high priority. If we had all this decid.ed today, ~t wouldn't be the most high priority, JoJut it is something we have to go through, irregardless. It is still a long ways down the road. .,.. . / I'm Brian Stringham 'and I've been travelling that road for a long time, and that is a deplorable situation to have seven 18 foot bridges on ~ US highway. That ~s uncalled for. This is 1986. That road was started back in ~he late 20's and finished up in 1932, and there has been little improvement on that road except for th~ lowe~ end that was improved 20 years ago. But, I travel that road as much ~S anyLody in this room for a lot of years ana the~ is one of the biggest beefs I've got when I talk to anybody, that lousy road that we have to travel on. So if we can do something with those bridges, and I'm glad this summer that they finally put in a few guard rails, but half of the places they put guard rails in they didn't need them. Up the street here there is about 600 feet of guard rail that drops over 10 feet. A mile· above that where you come around the curve where you need it and it drops 100 feet or 150 feet, there is no guard rail. Now why is that? I think what has happened is that the contractor come up here and missed the place where he was suppose to put it. Those are some of the 7 �· , gripes I've got. , We've got to change those bridges. I've drive a big truck down there and I go down there and a woman was coming up in a big car and she stopped in the middle of the bridge and I was coming down at 40 miles an hour and she was just petrified, and finally we worked it out so we got through, but I was afraid I was going to push her off into the river. These 18 foot bridges have got to be changed and we are not going to accept anything. less. That's the main thing I'm unhappy with, those lousy bridges we've got. I'm Alan Harri~on, Director of Bear Lake Regional Commission. Ken Brown, County Commission Chairman of Rich County asked me to read a statement. "Having watched traffic increase for the past ten years, I feel the canyon road should definitely be improved. Minimum improvement should include three lane passing such as in the lower canyon. Tourist flow to and from Bear Lake is important to our economy and Logan Canyon is a problem. Safety is a real COllcern, and anyone who travels the road regularly w')uld agree that it is becoming more and more cumbersome and time consuming. I feel no more studies are necessary and we should commence with construction. Stan: Would you please give us a copy of that? Alan Harrison: Yes sir. Paul Webb: I understand that this study has ' been in progress since June of this year. One question is how much longer is the study going to continue and the other question is, if this is a low priority on the UDOT budget, what is the time frame for any kind 0:: improvements rather it be the status quo approach or the whole ball of wax? Stan: We will be completing our work in June of next year. We were given a year to do the ,study, and we are about halfway through with our efforts right now. As far &s the priority listing, there is a number of funding programs that the state has ' access to, things such as the br~dge repla~ement, maybe, could be a different priority than improving the whole road. I'll. let the UDOT answer that more fully. ~.,,- UDOT: If we 10 any work at all in the canyon, it will have to ~e documented quite well from an environmental approach, that is to justify the expenditure of fedelal funds on this project, and that it will not harm the environment. One purpose of this study is to identify various ways in which projects may be staged in the canyon. It is our opinion that the structures are an important issue and should be addressed as soon as possible. ~ut even if we had the money right now to replace the structures, we couldn't do it until we complete the _environmental study that is underway now. So the first step in this process is to evaluate the alternatives and to also evaluate them on an environmental basis to justify the 8 �, ( , expenditure of funds, and then funds could be awarded. Portions of this project will go sooner 'than other parts. But if we are going to do any work at all we must complete this long process. Question: Who has the final say, the UDOT or the environmentalists? UDOT: Both. What we are doing through this environmental study is coming to a mutual understanding as to what we can realistically do in the canyon. Question: Okay my other question is, environmentally, which is more important, to lose a life, even if an ambulance has to go through any kind of weather through this canyon, which is more impor~~nt saving the environment or saving a life? Lynn Zollinger: Those questions are hard to answer. (There was an uproar in the crowd). Let me say what we intend to do is to design a facility that will be the best facility we can build within the constraints we are given. And it is not going to be a super route or 60 mph he~e ... Comment: I'll bet if you ask any person in this room which is more important they would say it is a person's life. Question: I'm a citizen here in town. Didn't you have funds approved for the entire Logan Canyon before the environmentalists shot it down? Isn't that why the improvements were shut down before? Lynn Zollinger: There was a construction scheduled to begin at Right Fork and continue to Ricks Spring. That was following closely on the heels of the one completed on up to Right Hand Fork. In the early seventies is when that was slated to go to construction and the funds werp. completed and I believe we were almost ryady to advertise. Then the environmental issues surfaced and the momentum at that time was stopped to this date. Comment: I can't believe with all the rocks and trees we've got around here there is anything so particular in that canyon. Lynn Zollinger: There is, bel~eve me. . There are very many issues that are sensitive from an environmental standpoint. Question: !~:>w mar.Y lawsuits do we have to file to get this standard road improved? Lynn Zollinger: . .-/ s"o- I can't answer that. Question: What has 'happened to all those funds that they have from the 5% tax in the whole U.S., there was supposed to be 60 million dollars in the State of Utah to take care of substandard roads, such as bridges. This was going to make employment, upgrade the roads in the secondary and third grade roads in the whole u.S. and 9 �-( ( each state was going to get their share. any of the pie back, did we? I don't think we even got Commissioner Weston:· I thought I was in a friendly area here. I think in all fairness, · and I know your concerns, I travel that road quite often myself, and I know that there are some things that ought to be done, and I don't think there is anybody that doesn't agree with that. How far to go is the problem. We know that we have to replace some bridges. We've got some bridges up there that are too narrow and besides that they are structurally unsound, so that if we don't do something pretty quick, we may have to do something more drastic. As far as why we have to do these studies, I think I have the same position you have. I was County Commissioner in Cache County for seve~al years, and we went through several exercises trying to make improvements up the canyon and we never could satisfy enough people on what we needed to do and to get enough unity in what to do in order to have the federal government release funds. NOw, that is a pure and honest statement. We have some bridge replacement right now. These funds rollover and each year and what funds aren't used rollover to another year. Th~ priority for our funds in Logan Canyon may be better next year than this year, we don't know. We know that highway funds are badly depleted right now. We are at least 40 million dollars behind our funding of state highways right now. We actually got far enough along in the last year- to program points for Logan Canyon on three bridges, two of them are close to being funded, and we decided that we needed to go through the necessary requirements to get the ·federal dollars. Remember that 95% of the money that wo~ld be spent on this canyon is coming out of Washington. I appreciate that it is your money, but it still has to be released by the Federal Highway Dept. and when we requested to move ahead with just the tridges we were told there would be no money given to us by Federal Highways ~ntil a complete and indepth environmental study fo~ the whole canyon was complete. So, that's why these peopile are hired. ·1 sat on the commission over there and we had $500,000 allocated one year to go from Right Hand Fork to Ricks Spring, which would have in those days, built the thing. But we couldn't move. We didn't have our homework done. Of course, I wasn't in the highways then, but I was on the county commission and I sat in the position you are in - frustration wondering why can't we go. Well, it is even more complicated now than it was then. We've got a terrible shortage of money for highways. We've got SOhle ter.;:ible problems. This isn't the only bad strotch ooC highway we hdve in Utah. I've been over a lot of it in ~~e la!c year and · I want to tell you this is not· the worse stretch of road. It is maybe, from your standpoint becc..use you have to travel it, but if you go from across the state you'll find many roads in pretty bad shape. We are doing the best we can with the money we have. As soon as the environmental study is complete, then we will go back to the federal government and say, "Here's our plans, here is what we can justify from a reasonable standpoint, here is what the people think we need, and here is what we can do with the dollars we've got, and not impact the canyon to the point that we are foolish, and yet build a road that we need and will supply our 10 �( needs to the year 2010 and if we can hit that happy medium, then we'll get approval. Of course, we've got to work with the Fo~est Service. They own the land. You people need to understand that. Comment: They work for the people. Todd Weston: Yes, but they administrate it. Dave Baumgarner: land. ( , Forest Service doesn't own the land it is public Todd Weston: You people own the land, but the forest ser,ice administrates it. ' And we are going to build improvements to that highway. When I say "improvements" I sometimes get a gun pointed at my throat. Some people consider that anything we do up there is not improving. You need to know we have a lot of people that feel that way. I'm not saying that they are right, or that you are right. I know that somewhere in the middle we are going to find some mutual ground that we can satisfy our needs with and that is what we are ~rying to do. There are some places up in that ca~yon that I don't want to see destroyed and I've got the same concerns you have, but we are going to do the best job we can. We've got make sure that it meets with their plans in their management process for the canyon. Dave Baumgarner is charge with his office to see that anything that is done in · that canyon is the proper thing to do for what the people need and want . . Question: I enjoy driving through the canyon as much as anybody else does at anytime of the year. I really enjoy it. I don't think anybody in this room would like to see the beauty of that canyon destroyed. It would be ludicrous on our part to assume that. It is a great calling card for us to bring people over here. However, when you drive through it and you realize how o~d the road is an~_ the fact that a lot of improvements can be made, , ~. hen wilCn . ' you've got to go through all these agencies you are talking abol1t and all the red tape and bureaucracy you are talking about, I don't see why these entities, public and environmental, forest service, ' can not sit down and give a little bit so that this road can be improved whereby the flow of traffic will be safer for all concerned going both ways. NOW, the last two years there have been a great flow of traffic throug~ the canyon. The truck traffic flow has increased considerable from Millers over there. And · that is fi~e, we"d like to see them come over here, but when you gpt in c~rtain places in that road, those trucks take up 3/4s of the highway and that leaves you with very little. As far as arguing about the road, we need the road and ~e deserve the road. And we need to have all the.s e entities sIt down and say, "Alright, these are the pr~blems, 'but let's get on with the program. Let's find out what has to be done, let's take and ~ive a little. ( .. ,./ 11 �( Sheldon: I appreciate all your concerns, they are great. Wet~lked earlier about the length of our study. I think it might be appropriate to answer why it-takes a year to do the study. We are trying to do the study correctly. If you read your newspaper you can see what happened in Provo Canyon. I'm not saying that will happen here, but, by gosh, we are going to do everything we can to keep that from happening. But there are some lawsuits in Provo that have been filed against UDOT and we do want to make sure that we take time to get everything documented well enough, · so that when our recommendations are accepted, or UDOT makes the recommendation and they and the Fore's t Service agree, we've got the proper framework to support any potential lawsuit that might come down. That takes time and I apologize for that. Question: I have a question for Mr. Baumgarner. I think everybody has preconceived notions about this entity out there called an environmentalist, that they are instantly going to battle with the residents over here. Since you are with the Forest Service and you are going to represent the federal government's interest and proba- . bly a lot of the biological and ecological interest in the can~on, I'm interested in your comments as to do you really think the envi~ ronmentalists and the citizens are that far apart? / Dave Baumgarner: No, they are not. I don't have an answer any different than that. There are some legitimate concerns on both sides. But other than argue about statistical data that justifies, or unjustifies the project, when it comes right down to it, the issues aren't really that strong. Almost down to the point of talking about a specific corner as to whether or not for a fishery or an environmental issue, there aren't very many serious issues about bridges. If we had this to do allover again, to be quite frank, and the state had the money to build bridges without having to qo to the federal government for funds, we would categorically exclude brid~~~. What that means in our process is that with a half page d~cision signed by my boss, the project would not have to go through the entire environmental process on the specific bridge replacement. In talking about individual corners, we are almost in the same box, but not quite, depending on the issue on the specific corner. From the Forest Service perspective, we are a lot closer than people realize. However, there are some processes involved that are giving us some troubl~, timewise. St ~ ~: S! ~eldon : why don't you identify where we go from herp with t:le public involvement process. Sheldon: This meeting was really only intended as a public information meeting. Certain:y to solicit your comment, but this is just the first of several opportunities that will come up over this whole period of this study for people to have input. This is an information meeting; we are just getting started. As we get into the environmental assessment we will have what we call a Scoping Meeting where we identify issues. We'll go from there with public hearings and you will have plenty of opportunity to speak up and frankly, I think it is great, and please keep doing it. 12 �Bill Peterson: I am questioning your statistics on your growth rate. We've been in a down trend in our economy in this area, but in the last year there have been a number of major projects express interest in building motels and hotels here and 'I think that your 2% growth rate is going to be way short of the actual growth rate of the traffic on the highway. I think we will get that 2% just from our locals. If there is any other increase, it will go way over that. Stan: We shar~ that concern. Cliff Forsgren did that study for us and it was reviewed very carefully by UDOT and by the interdisciplinary team we work with on a fairly regular basis. Cliff, why don't you cover the background on that. Cliff: The approach to putting together projections requires a great deal of knowledge, experience and skill, and computers and everything else and when you are done? Frankly, we look at it from a couple of different perspectives. We look at it from what has occurred over the past 10 or 12 years as long as we have the cata from a counter station. We also took the State of Utah's projection for economic growth in northern Utah and we came up with numbers that were very close to the same. From the standpoint of those of us that were preparing this projections, 2% is a bit uncomfortable. But based on the information we had, it was difficult to come up with anything higher. Believe me, I tried. Looking at the average daily flow in the summer in one year you may have a significant increase from one year to the next, but the next year then it will drop off some, and it averages out. If someone could give us some data or some information that would show that it needs to be higher, but based on what we have got, that's all we could justify. Ted wilson: Doesn't I-IS plan to finished off further past Tremo~ton? UDOT: That is correct. Ted Wilson: into Logan? Are they planning to improve the Valley View highway UDOT: We haven't got any engineering done on Valley View. o~ our hJpe list. It is Ted Wilson: At present, I'm sure everybody would agree that the canyon is beautiful, but we wou ..d also becoming a deterrent to traffic coming this way. An improved highway may bring as many as 10% higher flow rate almost immediately. People are getting scared of Logan Canyon. It is getting bad. The shoulders are horrible. They washed out really bad this last year. People don't like to travel it once they have seen it. If they want to get some place, they·are starting to go around. Other communities are advertising to draw the traffic away from Logan to Soda Springs, to Randolph, that type of thing. As for looking to the past, we have had a 13 �( falling off of percentage and that 2% may look that way, but if you have an improved highway, business wise and traffic flow wise, I think you'll see a tremendous higher use, and especially if 1-15 is finished and good access to Logan, to Tremonton. We still are the major route to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone areas, but Logan Canyon is a mess. Question: I have a couple of questions for Mr. Weston. First, how much do you project it will cost to fix the existing substandard bridges and how much did it cost to hire CH2M Hill? Westo~~ I'll turn those questions . over to the engineers; they've got the exact figures. Lynn Zollinger: The cost to build a structure cost about $45.00 per square foot. The new bridges I expect will be 40' wide, give or take a few feet, and the length is about 150'. That is a preliminary guess, so whatever 40 times 45 times 150 would be the structure cost. Question: How many substandard bridges? Todd Weston: .I / Seven. Lynn Zollinger: Some are longer than others, like at Tony Grove where they are relatively short span, but others sucn as Lower Twin Bridge and Burnt Bridge and Red Bank Bridge that are considerably larger. So the way I look at it, there are four major structures and at least three minor structures. Question: What about hiring a construction firm for a year? Lynn Zollinger: The fe~ for hiring the consultants is around $50(\.1)00. It is a very expeasive study. I . think it shows the UDOT'::; commitment to solve the problems at Logan Canyon. Kathy Webb: If you have two other options here you are thinking about for alternate routes through the canyon, how realistic is it that you are going to do something with the existing canyon? Are you plauning on doing any funding anyway? Stan: ~~a thy Yes, that's all part of the study. Webb: And the other two options are Stan: The other two options are only from the summit to G.lrden City, so they don't rea_Iy impact the canyon at all. Kathy Webb: The other question I have is I have to know what the logic· is behind the passing lane at Ricks Springs. I just have to know that. That is the craziest passing lane I have ever been on! Is that what it is? (Lots of laughter) Lynn, do you want to handle that? 14 �( Lynn.: There was a passing lane built at Ricks Springs. That was done as a desperation move. There is no other term for it, by the UDOT to provide some improvement in the canyon. (more laughter). In a lot of ways we had our hands tied as to spending money to make improvements in Logan Canyon. One group says improve it, do this, do that, and the other group says you can't do anything without the appropriate studies. And I guess the best .way to look at ·the passing lane is that while it did offer some relief and some improvement for that section, is that we wanted to make an improvement and go out and do something. · Question: meetings. You mentioned here tonight that there will be other Where are they going to be? Stan: We will have another Scoping Meeting when we get very specific about what are the alternatives we are going to be looking at. There will be one of those held in Logan and one held here in this valley. Question: Another question I have is how much weight does this meeting we are having here hold? Is Logan going to be able to override us . again? Stan: ' I don't know if that is ' a fair assessment. There are a lot of people in Logan that feel the same as you do. But they are unfortunately, the silent majority. So we are going to make these studies and identify some alternatives and there will be reports produced that will show what the benefits and non-benefits of each alternative are. The final result of this will be the recommended alternative, but the agencies will select, those being the UDOT and the Forest Service. They will select the recommended alternative and a hearing will be held that will discuss that. Paul Webb: I think it was commissioner Weston that mentioned that our project was a low priority project. I assume he W·: l,S talking about expenditure of money. I would like to know whose list we are on. Is that the UDOT's priority list and how will this study affect that priority? Todd Weston: Paul, I guess I've got to say that everyboGy -is on a low priority until we get more money. We just have some many projects ahead of us that we ~re ju .~t putting out fires, is what we are doing. We know that if we don't do some~hing ~;n 1-15 within the next three years, we are going to have a big parking lot between Brigham -:ity and Salt I·ake, and I'm talking about that lit ~rally. And we are talking about a major part of the population living in that part of the state. We have to put things in the perspective. I think our preconstruction engineer put it as well as I can. We are going to do what we can. See, there are different funds; there are bridge funds that are ready to go. We had some that were ready to go, but we were stopped by Federal Highways to do any bridgework until we completed this exercise we are going through now. Had Dave Baumgarner and I been able to sit down together as the Forest 15 �Service and UDOT we probably could have built those bridges and had Federal Highway release the dollars, and they probably will now. But in defense of the environmental study with CH2M Hill, why we are hiring these people, is that we are hiring to gain some time. We simply do not have staff to put them on this project and do· it in the time frame we are trying to do and get on with the construction. They are hired to do the job we didn't have staff to do it in the time frame we need. Question: I remember going to a meeting several years ago with the UDOT and talking about a problem we had in Laketown Canyon. That priority was very low, and then suddenly it jumped up to where it was partially completed. You mentioned that ·95% of the funds can't be approved until this study is done. If this study is done to their satisfaction and application is made and they approve 95% funding, what chance do we have to have that priority jump? Todd Weston: Of course, after that is done we have to go to preconstruction plans. You know, we could start on some bridges rather rapidly. But you see, when you start on some bridges, well, take the bridge at the bottom of the dugway, a tall bridge, an expensive structure, needs to be widened. Now, when you widen it, do you just widen the bridge, or do you go down .stream a ways and take that big sharp curve off from it and make a decent curve at the bottom of it? One thing leads to another to where -you start impacting further down the road. So we've got to do it in an orderly fashion, and frankly, I'm glad we are doing it this way because once and for all, we will have a document in our hands that says, "This is what we can reasonably do. to improve the canyon." Now, well you say the environmentalists stopped the other projects. Well, maybe yes, and maybe no, maybe we didn't have our homework done. We just got two lawsuits slapped on us on Provo Canyon, which is a similar project, with more traffic and more people, bu~ sim;1ar. We got slapped with two lawsuits, and neither one of them are €:nvironmentalists, typical qualified environmentalist groups ' like the Sierra Club, and others. They were not recog~ized as environmentalists g:roups. The person who stopped us was an economics professor at BYU. He is the one that filed the suit. I don't know if he has any other money behind him or not, but he is the one who stopped us. And he stopped us because he sain they didn't need the type or road we were putting through tha~ canyon. Pure and simple. And the judge decided he had better hear more about it and ·so there is an j.njunction on it. That is the kind of problem we run into. Comment: I appreciate all that you have to go through, but I still wonder if that low priority is all we are going to get. ) Todd Weston: -'Well, I guess we are a little bit like a squeaky wheel. If the demand is there strong enough and we can justify it then we are going to move faster where we can. But when I say 16 �( Logan Canyon has low priority, I've got to say it has low priority compared to 1-15, it has low priority compared to probably a dozen other projects in District 1 and we are only one District in the state. Don Huffener: You mentioned the squeaky wheel. I was at the meeting you had in Logan, too and you mentioned it again here, that in the summertime is the big volume of traffic and 80% of that traffic is through traffic all the way through the canyon. Most of those people never get heard because they are not from Logan or here, so Todd Weston: Don Huffener: picked it up. I think we have some better figures than that. Well, I stopped down at Valley Engineering and Todd Weston to CH2M Hill: Is that your statement? Sheldon: The people who start through the canyon, 80% go all the way through the canyon rather th~n stop in the canyon to recreate. , Don Huffener: So the majority of the people who use the canyon aren't getting a hearing on this. The other thing is at the other meeting your spokesperson said that the ID committee was unanimous in their desire to keep Logan Canyon .as a destination. Your spokeswoman said that. I'm sure I am right. So, the pass through traffic, how much consideration are they getting? That was a statement from your office. Stan Nuffer: I think she might have been misunderstood. COffirr;ent: She was implying that they want to make Logan Canyon a and recreational :area, where people come into the canyon, recreate and then go home. de~~ination Cliff: That is the desire of many people to make it that way. I guess the way to answer that is that you really have two views, and I don't see anything that is going to keep both of these from being answered. John Murphy: When I first cam~ to tr~ valley about 15 years ago I was looking for a place to buy some suppli~s and I soon found another route to Ogden and on through. Going on a dirt road in the south ena of the valley down there, which is called Canyon, which is 500 feet lower than your Logan Pass; it doesn't have any environmental problems, there is no river to fight, you can go down into Ogden and · it is 15 minutes longer than using your superhighway through Logan Canyon •. So if the people in Logan are so upset about the environmental impact of us people who live and drive the canyon, rather than those that stop and turn around and go home, why don't they build us a road into Ogden? We could get to Ogden in the same time it takes to get to Logan. Re-route 17 �Highway 89 up through Cottonwood, up through the flats up there, no river, basic road is facing south, so the sun does most of the clearing for you rather than snow plowing; it goes to the area of Monte Cristo, we can go on down there and get our supplies, route the tourists through there, and Logan can have their canyon and go up there and recreate and turn around and go home. (Applause) My name is Ernest Henry, with the Bridgerland Audobon Society in Logan, and I would like to second what was mentioned earlier. Environmental groups aren't out to stop everything and anything, but we do have distinct and definite concerns about Logan Canyon. That is why I am here tonight. There is nothing I'd rather be doing that be home tonight, but I'm here because I'm very concerned about the quality of the environment in Logan Canyon. So, we will work with you, and compromise, but I do have one concern. Something that has been repeatedly stated and stated here tonight and often times stated in the paper and that is that a big impediment to your economic development and the economic development of Bear Lake is the Logan Canyon road, that if it was somehow improved, the economy would be better. That may be true, I don't know, but one thing I have yet to see is any facts on that. Comment: MOVE OVER HERE. Try driving the canyon twice a week and you would change your mind. .~ UDOT: I'd like to make a comment on the alternate route. We have looked at it and an alternate route would cost about 1.2 to 2 million per mile. We don't have that kind of money right now. We do feel that two decades from now that will be a realistic alternative to look at. Right now the money we have available is to improve the facility we have built. I hope you are right about the environmental situation. When we get there I'm afraid there might be more problems that we anticipate, but alternate ro~tes have been lQ~l~~d at but at this time we don't feel the availability of funds makes it a viable alternate. We need to be upgrading what we have here. Comment: Just one comment about alternate routes. Someone must be sniffing glue if they tried an alternate route through Hodges Canyon. It is almost impossible to get through. You would never see a snow plow out. So the studies you are doing on alternate routes are not very well done. The other route that original pioneers used which is pretty ,:"lose ' : 0 your yellow route is a much better route. NOw, I talked to some of the old timers who worked on the route that we've got now and they said those crazy guys from Salt Lake City don't know how to build a road, but since tht.~y are paying us, we'll build it anyhow. The y~llow route does look like it is . ~ better route. .j UDOT: The yellow route is the principal route at this point, but we did indicate to the consultant that we wanted to look at some alternatives. We they took some geotechnical data and they have indicated that the green route is not desirable, but that the yellow one is, again we are going to have to look at that when it �comes time to getting the property and alignment, which will be in the latter stages of the whole study. But we will probably be working with the county people and if we can establish that that is a desirable route, and the local people are in agreement, then we will work with the county commission in reserving the rights of way so we don't have to come in unprepared. But that is the principal route at this time. CH2M Hill: Comment: my eyes. We share your conclusions about the green route. Do you? I saw what you were doing and I couldn't believe Comment: I was wondering, the lower part of the canyon that has been improved, was there any data before so that you can compare the impact that it has had on the lower route so you might have some information to apply to the higher route? Is that being considered? Stan: We have looked at all the data we can get. Unfortunately, the safety data, the basis has changed, so it is kind of hard to draw conclusions. We just have to go along with what is nationally accepted approaches to these kinds of problems. / Barry Negus: One. concern I have is if you change to an alternate route on the lower portion here, what are the people going to do? What is going to happen to the existing road there now and what is going to have to be done for the people that are living along that route to get out in the winter? Lynn Zollinger: If we realign the highway to another locations, it doesn't mean the other one will be clos~d, we'd probably say we would turn it over to Rich County to maintain and plow. Comment: Don't do ~~at. (laughter) Lynn Zollinger: The UDOT is not likely to maintain two routes. disposition of the old route would have to be resolved. The Comment: I would like to ask the gentleman from the Audobon Society if he is a native of the area, is hea student at ~he college, do you live in Logan as a temporary position the~e, what is your impact personally on improvements in the canyon or is this just an assignment you have f::.-:>m thE: college or Audobon Society? ... .,- Ernest Henry: No, I was born in Cincinna~i, Ohio; my parents moved to Albuqu~rque in 1969. I got a bachelors degree from Colc.rado State in Wildlife Biology in 1979. I lJoved to Logan to attend graduate school and I have a masters degree in Range Science there and I now work with the USDA in the agricultural research service doing research in alfalfa growth and I am a member of the Audobon Society because it is something I believe -in and am interested in • So, anyway, I live and work in Logan right now and I intend to stay there for the foreseeable future. 19 �Comment: What do you think about the problems on the road? Ernest Henry: I think there are two major environmental problems I see with road construction. One is the river itself, water quality, quantity, diverting it, changing it from something that is rather free flowing with biological integrity to something that is riprapped and has little biologica~ integrity, and also I think the scenic value of the canyon is important. If your only interest is in economic development, I don't think you can deny that something that is going to bring people to this area is the scenic quality of Logan Canyon. It is an important aspect to this area. It is a recreational resource, granted more in Logan's favor than in Bear Lake's favor. But it is a recreational resource of significance and that shouldn't be overlooked. Comment: I'm just glad to know a transplant from the Sierra Club in Oklahoma. Comment: I don't think it matters wher~ we are from, but I think the thing that this gentleman is stating and what the residents from this side of the hill are willing to work with them. We don't want to change the whole canyon. We think there are improvements that can and should be made and as a community we all feel that way. Comment: We all love the canyon. We don't want it spoiled. We do. We want it preserved. Comment: And I think we are all saying the same thing allover again. We want quality, but we also want some improvements and I think it is possible to work with them if we can just get on with it. Let's work together and get it done. Richard Mills: Have you as the state studied the other road coming in from Salt Lake and Evanston in the summer as far as ~oad counters? Stan Nuffer: proposed? Are you talking about the existing highway or those Richard Mills: The existing highway. You have a traffic study, right? You have two counters .. one Q....)ing north and one coming into Garden C.ity. : . .ave they done anything coming in from Evan~.~on UF over Laketown Canyon? Stan Nuffer: We are somewhat familia~ with the state procedures. They have permanent traffic counters allover the state. UDOT: We no longer have a permanent counter in Laketown Canyon, but they do annual studies. Sometimes they vary from a week or a day. But because of lesser volumes they don't go to the expense of a full time permanent counter there, but they use statistic projection methods to get a short count and project it. to a longer count. 20 �Stan Nuffer: They have a guide that is called "Traffic on Utah Highways that is published biannually that lists all this traffic information and I'm sure you could get a copy of that. Richard Mills: My point is if you would study that information you would probably f.ind out that as people get more scared of Logan Canyon, they are probably coming around the other way. A good share of the people that come in are from Salt Lake and Ogden. Stan Nuffer: I don't know if you can draw tha~ kind of conclusion from the data that is there, but it could be looked at. Joe West: I'm wondering how bad the lower end of the canyon looks now. I remember when that was rebuilt; realigned and they were fighting on that, and that was what stopped them from going on up into the canyon. I'd be interested in knowing how that looks 'now that the growth is back up. I can see that when construction goes on you are going to have a problem for a year or two, but growth comes back. I heard one man say that th~t was the first time he went down Logan Canyon and saw anything but the yellow line. You know, before the rest of this canyon gets built, the lower end of the canyon is going to be obsolete. J stan: We hope to get at least the same standard throughout the whole canyon. Beyond that, if traffic continues to increase, there might need to be alternate routes looked at to take some of the pressure. Joe West: I'd like to ask the Audobon Society how the lower end of the canyon looks to him. Ernest Henry: My general reaction is that it doesn't look that bad. Nevertheles~ . I don't think you, call just say, "Okay, there it t worked." We don't want to take any chances. I guarantee you that. We arc not out just to slow things up but we want it to stay a recreational resource second to none. I'd like to make another comment and this is strictly factual. As I mentioned I lived in Colorado for a while and if you think this battle over a road was somethin<3', Glenwood was an a\'lesome battle. That was on interstate 70 that went on for years and years and years. And they finally worked something out. I think Ch2M Hill would do well to look at some of the approaches that we~e use~ there. Stan Nuffer: We were involved in that process. Jim Naegle: Two months ago we visited Glenwood Canyon, and we built the Interstate 15 through the River by St. George at $1,000,000 per mile and we thought that was a great cost for building a road. The 12 miles of Glenwood Canyon now cost 14 million to put a bike path through, and 235 million dollars to build the road and it is because of tradeoffs with the envizonmental organizations. I want to add just this. That UDOT is more environmentally sensitive than we have ever been as a Highway Department; some of 21 �it from need and some of it from desire. The lower part of the canyon wasn't as environmentally sensitive as the middle portion of the canyon. We are intent on building a facility that will accommodate as much as possible. We are willing to make tradeoffs. We are looking for tradeoffs with the environmental people, the forest service and the Highway Dept. We want to get in and build the best highway with the least amount of impact that can be done. And we will be keeping you people appraised as to our progress on that, but we need your input and your support as to how you feel and that is why we appreciate your 'coming tonight. It is our intent to build something that will serve us as best as possible and to minimize the impacts. ~hat's the tradeoffs we are looking for. Cliff: Maybe as a summary comment, we can still have more questions, but I would carry it a step further than what Jim said. Other than the time that it takes to complete the study, which I 'would agree with is intolerable from your perspective, but other than. the time I'm not pessimistic as to how this will turn out. In fact I'm rather optimistic as Dave Baumgarner and others have stated that we are going to be able ~o f~nd some common ground that satisfies the environmental needs and still gives you a good road through the canyon that you all deserve. So, I wouldn't be pessimistic about it, but I would be careful to take the time to make your presence known, even if it takes going to Logan to do it. We need toe input and we need a balanced input. J Comment: I'm been on a committee representing this area for a number of years when we first started these studies, and I know when we got the information on this study we requested you come here and we do appreciate your coming here because it is cumbersome to travel that road in the wintertime. We want you to know we do appreciate your coming here and we hope you appreciate the impact the canyon has on the people on this side of the mountain. There are a lot of peop'~ from Bear Lake County . that have some concerns. We . would strongly ·~ncourage you to continue to hold some meetings over here and not to look at sheer numbers, but you are talking about real users and real business people, not an organized group by any means like you might find in Logan, because I listened to them and I've seen their tables etc. but please continue to come over here and keep us informed. I would suggest you may even explore the idea of holding a meeting in Salt Lake City, because that affects a lot of those people Don Huffener was talking about that travel through here const::!.ntly ~. nd a majority of those people are in ~he ' Wa3atch Front. CH2M Hill: We spoke with them today and they let it be kno\7n that they expect to see us. Comment: Good. Also you might consider that the next time you have a meeting in here if you hold it on a summer night and a Friday night you'll get some of those same types of people and you'll get a good cross section •. Stan Nuffer: That is a good idea, thank you. 22 I �I'm Cliff Brown and I'm a member of the town council in Laketown and I just think that the beauty of the canyon is out of this world at time, nobody disagrees with that. I'm also an EMT and I've driven the ambulance through there through all kinds of weather. I think we need to keep in mind that that road is our lifeline to the outside world. We are up here isolate otherwise. There are a couple of other places we can travel, but this is our main lifeline, between here and Logan and I think that is what we need to keep in mind. Question: Are there any preliminary plans as far as re-routing the existing road in places? Do you have any plans there at all? Stan Nuffer: We are just getting started in that ·process. We want to get your input first and then we will get into that process. ( ) Comment: As you drive through the canyon, in reference to the gentleman's comments about riprapping the river, as I drive through the canyon I see very few places where th0se kinds of places are going to exist and where the road possibly could be moved completely away from the river and actually add to the quality of the river instead of pushing the snow (I'm sure you are concerned about the salts that come off into the river and environmentally impact it that way.) But just driving through and seeing where some improvements can be made I don't see where there is that much that will impact the river, just by doing a few minor things. Comments: Along . with your accident statistics have you ever thought about having almosts? You should request people to send in and report how many times they have "almost" been wiped out. (lots of laughter) . Comment: That wOllld affect aL~ost everyL~J.y, wouldn't it? Commen~: Gale Larson went up there traffic counting and almost got hit himself. Comment: If any of you would like to write your comments I've got some busin=ss cards here that you can pick up on your way out. Stan Nuffer: If we have no more comments, some of you who felt to shy to speak in public, we'll be here for a while. Come up and look a~ the raps and drawings. : Is there anyone else that: want'"'d to make a comment? Comment: I'm John Hansen, and I don't think it has been brought up that We all do a lot of business on the other side of the hill and I'm very much concerned about the safety and while we talk a lot about the environment, but I wonder, since when do we place a higher value on plant and animal life than we do on human life? That is what has crossed my mind quite a bit. It looks to me like we are here tonight as a community to express this. 23 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Envtronmental groups and concerned citizens, including the Sierra Club, the Bridgerland Audubon Society, Citizens for · the Protection of Logan Canyon and others, view this expansion as highly unfavorable and as a threat to the beauty and quality of the Logan Canyon Recreation Area. ! General Summary i i * Major impact on both environmental ~nd visual quality of canyon. * Project contradicts national energy ;concern. * S0-90 percent of the project reqUir t s cutting into existing banks and vegetated areas. ! * "Waste poses a major engineering prcbblem.rt (Quote from project engineer) Traffic Growth Factors * * UDOT uses an unrealistic expontential model. A linear growth model better fits daily traffic data. * data used by UnoT are limited to one busy section of the highway, yet are used to describe the whole road. Need for highway re-alignment not documented by current data. * Traffic Safety Factors * * * * Suggested danger of Logan Canyon "Section III" is not supported by current data. A major discrepancy exists between accident rate data and traffic volume. 1977 accident rate figured by the Utah Highway Patrol does not agree with UDOT report. Statistical significance of accident data used is suspect. Environmental Factors * Numerous spills would encroach into Logan River from planned fills. * Silt deposits in the river would destroy trout habitat and breeding cycle. * Loss of riverside vegetation needed by trout for low light intensity. * Creation of any culverts would impair spawning success of trout. * Loss of vegetative barriers lessens the quality of fishing experience. * Major visual impacts would result from the cuts planned, especially the two major cuts at the Temple Fork area, which would be, according to the engineer's report, 75 feet deep and as much as 150 feet across.

This is in contrast to the Agency Alternative, where the main goal is to increase the highway design speed on all except the 4 miles between Right Fork and Lower Twin Bridge. To make a point-by-point comparison of this alternative with the Agency Alternative~ you may obtain a copy of the Agency Alternative from: Lynn Zollinger Utah Department of Transportation PO Box 2747 Ogden~ Utah 84404 399-5921 Beginning at Right Fork (mp383.5), approx. 10 miles E of Logan: Add additional warning sign such as "Narrow Winding Road Next 7 Miles". Throughout the entire route put up specific curve signs with advisory speeds where needed. Add signs for side roads such as "Right Fork 1/4 mile". Similar signs will be needed at Wood Camp~ Temple Fork, etc. Construct a 100'paved taper for up-canyon traffic wishing to turn into Right Fork. Wood Camp (mp 384.5) Plow parking area in the winter. Burnt Bridge (mp 385.5) PavE; present turnout downcanyon from bridge, add "Turnout" signs. Replace Burnt Bridge on present alignment with 28' wide clearspan bridge. . Logan Cave (mp 386.2) Raise roadbed approx. 3' for 1000'; this removes an erratic bend from the road and allows the road to be moved away from the river. Contingent on availability of fill. Prohibit parking on curve. CONSERV ATIONISTS' ALTERNATIVE �Cottonwood Creek (mp386.4) For cave access, pave two parking areas immediately downcanyon from Cottonwood Creek: one 150' x 20' on the river side, another 100' x 35'(tapering to 20') at the location of old Cottonwood Creek road. Plow in winter. Forest Service and volunteer groups construct trail to cave entrance. Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure. (mp386.6) Raise roadbed approx. 18" for 500' to avoid flooding (contingent on availability of fill). Lower Twin Bridge (mp 387.8) Replace bridge with a 28' wide clear-span bridge immediately upstream from present bridge. This involves a new cut at the downcanyon edge of the bridge. Rubble could be used to provide a slow-vehicle turnout downcanyon of the bridge. Provide recreational parking at upcanyon edge of the bridge. Note: Here the Agency Alternative proposes a 3 lane bridge, a climbing lane nearly a mile long, and the beginning of the wider, straighter, higher design speed highway. Upper Twin Bridge (mp388.8) Replace bridge with a 28' wide clear-span bridge immediately downstream of present bridge. Ricks Spring Sign "NO PASSING". For downcanyon traffic, sign "Narrow Winding Road Next 7 Miles" Replace structure on present alignment with - 28' wide structure. mo 390.2 and 391.1 Raise roadbed approx. 18" to avoid flooding. Contingent on availability of fill. CONSERV A TIONISTS' AL TERNA 'fIVE �mp 392 Pave multipurpose turnout on side opposite river, plow in winter. Note: Here the Agency Alternative increases the road width even more, increases the design speed, and begins to add frequent passing lanes. Tony Grove Intersection (mp 393.7) Add turning lanes. Tony Grove Creek (mp 393.8) Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure. Bunchgrass (mp 394.2) Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure. Pave multipurpose turnout on river side of road; plow in winter. Red Banks Bridge (mp 394.5) Replace bridge on present alignment with 28' wide clear-span bridge. Above Red Banks Campground Construct climbing lane from milepost 395 to cattleguard. Beaver Creek Bridge (mo396.0) Replace bridge on present alignment with 28' wide clear-span bridge. Beaver Creek Structure (mp397.5) Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure. Amazon Hollow Structure (mp 399.6) Replace structure on present alignment with 28' wide structure. Beaver Mountain Intersection (mp 399.75) Add turning lanes. CONSER V A TIONISTS' AL TERNA TIVE �Amazon Hollow Area Construct climbing lane from milepost 401.5 (above Amazon Hollow fill) to mp 402.1. Middle Sink Construct climbing lane from 404.1 to short of Sinks Road. Summit to Garden City Retain present alignment; add improved signing for curves and turnouts. Place climbing lane sections or slow-vehicle turnouts only where cutting would not cause erosion problems. Note: Here the Agency Alternative emphasized speed by realigning curves and steepening the gradient to up to 10%. They also plan . a continuous climbing lane. Initially we took no position on modifications to this section because much of it is not on National Forest land. However, the potential for massive erosion problems from the miles of excavation proposed in the Agency Alternative forced us to take this new position.

Our alternative is based on the premise that rrodifications which alone or in the aggregate ltX)uld appreciably increase traffic speed in the Middle Canyon must be avoided. liVe believe that increased speed in this section 'iNOuld be likely to lead to more (and more serious) accidents. increasing the traffic speed v~uld The construction involved in seriously disrupt the scenic values for which this canyon is nationally knOtm, and wuuld seriously degrade the ecolC>g"ical integrity of the Canyon, particularly in the riparian zone. Our goal is a highway t.1rat fits into Logan Canyon with minimal ecological disturbance and maxiInum safety, rather t.~an a highway that purports to move the greatest number of people through the area at the highest rate of speed. Consistent with this emphasis, we strongly recommend enforceITent of speed limits and substantial improverrents in signing as an important part of our proposal. As a corollary, changes in the roadway in the Upper Canyon should not be so drastic as to encourage high speeds in that area and thus a possible difficulty of driver adjustment to the lower speeds of the Middle Canyon. v~ have identified several gravel turnouts which should 1:e paved, and plowed consistently in winter, to aid the Utah Pighway Patrol in pulling over speeders and to aid in the passage of the occasional emergency vebicle. �"'JD("\~fq) I i l ACTIOl',} 1 D7\ 'T TOr-..T7\ TP_ _ _"i-'._i.L :E-1PACTS ALTEP~~T rlES 1 R.."SJECI'EDA. \[) PROBLE11S WITH ] I\r"\ -------~ ---------- - ------- ----j " i 100' taper from bridge; sign: "Right Fork 1/4" Pight Hand Fork safety curve at 384. a ' preliminary sign: "NarrON winding road next 7 mi. advisory speed sign; specific curve notation I (no change in alignment) safety visual sensitivity ; erosion into river; spoil disposal safety visual sensitivity (6); impacts on river Maguire Primrose threat to threatened species II ; I I I Wcx>d Camp turnout! sign: I!~bod Camp 1/4"; and intersection plow parking area in winter above v, od Carrp, b slON veh. turnout I no change '\ -~-TI I I i pave present gravel turnout; plow in winter !

Title A name given to the resource Core Samples Taken at Thistle on September 28, 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.

Box 423 Logan, UT 84321 Dear Rudy, Enclosed are the two documents you requested: 1. 2. My analysis of the Logan Canyon improvement issue for use by the BRAG Governing Board in commenting for the scoping meetings; and Comments in letter form from the Board. Please note that Cindy Yurth's article in the Herald Journal was incorrect. The Board did not "suggest" improvements. Rather, they asked UDOT to consider the entire range of improvements. They wish to see what the impacts of the alternatives will be before endorsing one or another alternative. Also be aware that Jack Spence has made several comments on my analysis. Specifically, he thinks: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. I understated the role which the Forest Service will play; no mention was made that some people want the highway designated as a national scenic highway; the USFS will not allow a 40 mph highway; I was not clear that most of the traffic occurs only in summer; it 1'5 wrong to be concerned with safety issues for which there is no data (such as ' whether bicyclists are deterred from using the highway by a "feeling" of danger);' , Figure 2 ' is improper since it does not show that most ·of the accidents occur in only a few spots. Suffice it to say that Jack and I disagree on several of ':t-hese polnts, which I would be happy to discuss with you at iyour convenience. I do think the BRAG Governing Board is taking a ' responsible position on this' issue. . They want all of the suggested al ternati ves analyzed because they have constituents who come from both extremes on these- issues. Once the draft EIS is developed and CH2H Hill presents the results in a meaningful way, I think the Board will adopt a reasonable and responsible position. trul Y, ¥i .

Monson March 17, 1987 James Naegle Utah Department of Transportation 4501 South 2700 West Salt Lake City, UT 84119 Dear Mr. Naegle, On behalf of the Governing Board of the Bear River Association of Governments, I would like to comment on the scope of the environmental analysis being undertaken for the proposed improvements to State Highway 89 through Logan Canyon. As you may know, BRAG is charged with reviewing projects being undertaken in northern Utah which may affect more than one community. As such, we feel it our responsibility to ensure that all of the interests of our citizens are represented, and therefore offer these comments. ) The highway through Logan Canyon serves our citizens as both a recreational resource and a major arterial. Rich and Cache Counties rely on many of the same attributes. The canyon is itself a scenic resource for those driving through, and also provides access to more active forms of recreation such as fishing, hunting, hiking, skiing, etc., as well as access to the recreation resources around Bear Lake. These resources benefit our citizens directly, but also attract tourism, on which we rely for part of our local economy. Logan Canyon is also a critical link for almost 10,000 residents from around Bear Lake (from Utah, Idaho and .:Wyoming) · to. the amenities and necessities offered by Cache Valley (such as access to emergency health care). Hence, we feel our ci~izens want to preserve the aesthetic value of the canyon, but not so much that the transportation capabilities deteriorate to unsafe or seriously inconvenient levels. We recognize that, as the population naturally increases, the dema nds on the highway:.:will increase, and we should attempt to foresee this demand and compromise between the need to preserve a pristine environment and the desire for maximum convenience. It is difficult, however, to favor a particular alternative without knowing the probable impact of our choices. We therefore wish to make the following requests: 1. 2. Please proceed as rapidly as possible to repair or rep l ace those bridges in the canyon which are deteriorating or are narrower than the existing roadway. In the middle section of the canyon between Right Hand Fork and Ric ks Springs, please conside r an alternatives which increase the design spee d from the existing minimum of 25 mph t o 35 or 40 mph. rio >.. boer C.O U nt ~. r- r ~} !lri 0 r4 ,. . l1lquCI :: i It .r. ~ _ L T' d" J<1rTit , :- . i I V lln l l (' ~rr~' HI.)',• •. .' y' '' lt '!'

In the section between Ricks Springs and the summit of the canyon, please consider alternatives which W9uld increase design speeds to 60 mph. In the section between the summit of the canyon and Garden City, please consider alternatives which increase the design speeds to either 40 or 50 mph, but which use the existing alignment as much as possible. Please consider turnouts at frequent intervals and changes in highway patrol policies which would ensure that slow moving vehicles would allow trailing vehicles to pass. Please consider passing lanes where the canyon allows but which do not require severe cuts. Finally, please analyze the impacts to the aesthetic and ecological character of the highway necessary to achieve these improvements to driving safety and convenience and inform us in a way which allows us to determine how severe the impacts might be. We will then be much more able to tell you which compromises would serve our citizens the best. We look forward to your timely report. ·.- • Yours truly, ~cff! ./ -yJ.4 ·//I/)~ Jd A. Monson Chairman Bear River Association of Governments �LOGAN HIGHW PROJECT AY STATUS fu~D IS SUES Prepared for Elected Officia l s i n the Bear River Reg i on Februar y 18, 1987 Bryan Dixon Ck Y ON ~ The proposed improvements to state Route 89 through Logan Canyon have generated substantial controversy. However, those "for improvements" and those "against improvements" may agree more than f irst appears. Most residents in Cache and Rich Counties wou l d probably favor some improvements to the highway. The road is very narrow in places, and several bridges are obviously deteriorating. The fundamental disagreements concern the extent of work which should be undertaken. Neither opponents nor proponents wish to see the beauty of the canyon marred by thoughtless construction, neither want decisions thrust upon them, yet both want safety and convenience. Whether one considers the canyon primarily as a recreational resource or a transportation corridor is perhaps the main determinant of one's support for major improvements. The process of public review requisite in any federally supported highway project provides opportunities for individual opinions, prejudices and wishes to influence what will eventually be done. There will be a separate public hearing for local elected officials to provide input, in order to ensure that a broad constituency - not just the most vocal - is heard. Indeed, the fact that everyone should have the same opportunity to influence the project is one of the privileges and treasures of American society. This analysis is intended to summarize the status and major issues surrounding the project, and encourage the informed debate necessary for the public interest to be fair+y articulated. Introduction to the Federal Environmental Review Process Part of the review required of any major federal project is that the impacts on the environment be considered. The intent is primarily to prevent agencies from ignoring those impacts. However noble, the environmental review process (as indeed could any process) has been abused in the past to stall projects, despite reasonable opportunities for public input. In the case of Logan Canyon, the decision whether to do an Environmental Assessment (EA) or an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has not yet been made. Although the Utah Department of Transportation has conducted a number of analyses so far, the period for constructive public input is just beginning. There will be a public hearing for elected officials Wednesday, March 4, 1987 at 10:00 a.m. in the Logan City Hall, 255 North Main, Logan. Hearings for the general public are scheduled at 7:00 p.m. on March 3 in the Mountain Fuel Auditorium and at 7:00 p.m. on March 4 in the Garden City Hall. History of the Project (See the attached map for geographical references.) 1961 Road widened and straightened from mouth of Logan Canyon to Dewitt Springs. 1968 Redesign work from Right Hand Fork to Ricks Springs completed. 1969 Road widened and straightened from Dewitt Springs to Right Hand Fork. 1969 National Environmental Policy Act enacted, requiring that all "major federal projects having a significant impact on the environment" draft a �1972 1979 1980 1986 statement desc r i bing t he env i ronment a l impacts a nd poss ible w ays to mitigate t hose impacts. Federa l Highway A dministration (FHWA ) determ i ned that a f our l ane hi ghway through Logan Canyon would require an EIS. Project from Right H and For k to G arden City down-si zed f rom f our l ane h i ghway to lane widening from 22 feet t o 34 feet; i ncrease from 35 mph t o 40 mph design speed. FHWA r eclassified the project t o requ ir e onl y an EA. Environmental analysis suspended while guidelines relating to ErS's were amended. Project resumed, environmental analyses continued. The Environmenta l Review Process For Logan Canyon The principal concern of the proponents is the schedule. They believe the road should be improved, and are frustrated by the possibility of endless delays caused by meaningless reviews. In fact, Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) officials have estimated that if an EIS is deemed necessary the schedule could ta ke one extra year. The delay is due primarily to the increased time for review by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA ) in Washington - as opposed to only regional FHWA review required for an EA. UDOT fully intends to do some work on the canyon road, however. In anticipation of the possibility of significant impacts, UDOT has approached the project as if it would require an EIS, with public input, environmental analyses and intensive review at the level required by an EIS. If possible, they wish to limit FHWA review to an EA. The decision whether to require an EIS will be made by the FHWA after some prelimi nary work is completed. UDOT will narrow the range of desired alternatives by soliciting public input (in scoping meetings in March). They will then complete enough design work on a few alternatives to determine the scale of the environmental impacts of each. These, together with a "preferred alternative" will be reported in a "preliminary" Draft Environmental Impact statement. This preliminary DEIS will be distributed for public comment. The results of this DEIS will determine the depth of subsequent review. If the environmental impacts are not significant or can be mitigated, the FHWA may decide that an Environmental Assessment would suffice. If so, the DEIS will be published as the Final Environmental Assessment and the final design work will be completed, and construction begun. If, after the preliminary DEIS is completed, the FHWA believes that the project is too controversial or the impacts are significant or cannot be entirely mitigated, they may require the completion of an EIS. In this case, the public comments on the preliminary Draft Ers will be incorporated into a final Draft EIS. The final Draft EIS will be reviewed by not only the regional FHWA, but also by the Washington, D.C. office. (It is this latter process which could add up to a year to the project.) After FHWA review is completed, the Final ErS, together with the chosen alternative, and an explanation as to how the public's comments have been addressed will be published. Final design work will be completed and construction will follow. 2 �UDOT officials have estimated the time necessary for the environmental review. They estimate t hat the preliminary Draft Ers could be completed by summer of 1987. If the impacts are not judged significant or can be mitigated, the EA will be published, final design work could begin in September 1987, with construction beginning in spring of 1988. If an EIS is judged to be necessary, the Draft EIS could be submitted to FHWA in July 1987 , with a fina l decision on an alternative in early summer of 1988. Design work could then be completed i n fall 1988, and construction could begin in spring 1989. Alternatives Being Considered UDOT believes that some work is inevitable. In fact, the "no action" alternative includes repair or replacement of four bridges. These four bridges include Burnt Bridge, Lower and Upper Twin Bridge, and the Logan River Bridge (Red Banks Bridge at mile 394.5). Whether more extensive alternatives will be pursued depends primarily on whether the public wants grEater design speeds, increased parking capacity, and passing lanes. Because different sections have different degrees of sensitivity, preliminary alternatives ' have been outlined for each section (note that a four lane highway is no longer being considered): Section I: Right Hand Fork to Ricks Springs A. No action (includes bridge repair/replacement) B. spot improvements such as turnouts, parking, minor realignments, perhaps a climbing lane between Lower and Upper Twin bridges C. Widening along existing alignment and spot improvements D. Widening and new alignments with spot improvements to increase design speeds to 35-40 mph Section 2: Ricks Springs to Summit of Canyon A. No action (includes bridge repair/replacement) B. spot improvements such as turnouts, parking, minor realignments, ,and climbing lanes along existing alignments D. Widening and new alignments with spot improvements to increase design speeds to 50-60 mph Section 3: Summit of Canyon to Garden City A. No action (includes bridge repair/replacement) B. spot improvements such as turnouts, parking, minor realignments, and climbing lanes along existing alignment D. Widening existing alignments with spot improvements to increase design speeds to 35-40 mph E/F. Widening along one of two new alignments north of existing highway to increase design speeds to 40-50 mph (existing road to be maintained by Rich County) G. Widening along new alignment south of existing highway to increase design speeds to 40-50 mph (existing road to be maintained by Rich County) Justification for Improvements A major point of debate is whether to increase design speeds by straightening curves and widening the road. Important factors include: 1) public safety, 2} convenience, and 3) environmental degradation. 3 �UDOT and CH2M Hill (the firm hired to write the DEIS) have assembled data on accidents and traffic volumes in Logan Canyon. However, the data are not conclusive because of i ncomp l ete records, l imited number of data collection points, and l ack of similar data comparing Logan Canyon with other canyons. (That is, given that accidents occur, how serious is the problem?) Figure 1 was produced from data published by UDOT and CH2M Hill and shows average number of accidents per mile during 1980-35 for each of the 13 sections designated f rom Logan to Garden City. If the data are reliable, the sections between Right Hand Fork and Ricks Springs are clearly the most hazardous, as evidenced by a much higher than average number of accidents per mile. Figure 2 brea ks down the accidents in each section by type. The major type of accident in almost every section of the canyon is simply running off the road. This cause greatly exceeds other causes in the Right Hand Fork-Ricks Springs sections. Hitting other vehicles occurs primarily at intersections such as Franklin Basin (Section 2c). Hitting animals is the major cause only in Sections 2a and 2b, where the road is relatively straight and open, but where there is also open range. (Data on the type of animal struck was not available.) The calculations of ' accidents per mile are not entirely reliable because the only traffic counter in the canyon was at the Card Guard Station in "Section Ob" (moved in 1982 to west of Garden City). It is unknown, for example, how many motorists from Logan turn around before reaching Garden City. Some have concluded that there are not in fact many serious accidents - there were only five fatalities and 86 incapacitating injuries between 1980 and 1985, out of almost 4 million trips in the canyon. The rest of the 512 accidents involved property damage or minor injuries. However, "danger" is the possibility of accident. There is no way to know what price this exacts on the mental well-being of drivers, bicyclists, or pedestrians. There is certainly some value in reducing this danger. And, even though no data are available, it seems intuitive that many may avoid sections of Logan Canyon during certain times or seasons simply due to the threat of accident. A factor not measured is public convenience. While Cache County residents may use Logan Canyon primarily for recreation, some residents in Rich County depend on the road for access to medical, retail and other services not found in Rich County. For them, Logan Canyon may represent more of a barrier to the essentials of life than an avenue to recreation, especially during winter. Lacking good data either on comparable seriousness of accidents or perceived inconvenience, UDOT has tried to determine what improvements should be made based on the desired "level of service" (a partially subjective scale of driving convenience) and projections of traffic volumes. These could then be compared to standards used by traffic engineers. If valid, it may be possible to base construction alternatives on a rational model of service quality desired by drivers. They have attempted to project traffic volumes to the year 2010 by extrapolating from historical data. Unfortunately, not only are there inadequate traffic counts, but the period to be forecast is several times longer than the period over which data has been collected, making oxtrapolat · ons en'QUS at best. Moreover/ there is disagreement about what kind of funct i on would best fit the data. UDOT suggests an exponential extrapolation, but assumes an upward sloping curve, and offers no theoretical 4 �reason why that curve is better than some other curve (such as an exponential curve with an ex ponent le ss than one which would imply that traffic volumes would approach some upper limit, or asymptote). In the end, UDOT has concluded that the level of service is already very low during the summer (presently "D"), with sUbstantial delays due to the volume of traffic and the numbers of recreational vehicles. (See Table 1 for descriptions of Levels of Service.) Any of the population and traffic projections with any of the viable road improvement alternatives preclude the best levels of service. In an effort to maintain a level with only "noticeable ... passing impediments" during normal traffic flows, and delays no more than 60\ of the time during heavy flows (i.e. "C"), UDOT believes it will be necessary to widen lanes and shoulders, and provide turnouts and passing lanes to enable autos to pass recreational vehicles in the summer. The crucial question is where would such improvements be acceptable in the canyon. Although these needs could be met with improvements to Logan Canyon, there is also value in preserving the beauty of the Canyon, part of which comes from a narrow, confined corridor. Unfortunately, changes to the road such as excessive bank cuts, lane widening or passing lanes (in some places) might reduce scenic vistas and destroy a feeling of seclusion created by vegetation and steep rock walls close to the road. The tight twisting nature of the road might help some people forget the hectic pace of life left in the city. Campers and hikers near the road would certainly not appreciate greater road noise from higher speeds. Fishermen wish to leave the river unchanneled and free, making for better trout habitat. Some have mentioned an endangered plant in the canyon (though it is still unclear it road changes would in fact threaten the plant). Summary The ideal alternative is clearly a compromise between the additional safety and inconvenience of a major widening, and the desire to preserve interesting vistas and drives. Since the data on traffic projections and levels of service are inexact at best, the decision will depend heavily on public input during the Draft Environmental Impact Statement phase. In closing, however, it should be noted that the real delays may come when funding for construction is sought. Elected officials concerned about the road improvements are encouraged to contact the staff at BRAG for a information on the studies and alternatives. Detailed information on alternatives to be considered is just now emerging. BRAG staff could present a statement at the public hearings. In preparation, BRAG staff could arrange a tour of the canyon scheduled for Tuesday, March 3, to allow elected officials to meet UDOT and U.S. Forest Service officials and discuss particular highway sections of concern. BRAG staff would like input from officials about how their constituents might weigh the needs for safety and convenience and how sensitive they would be to changes in the canyon near the road. Elected officials may be the only source of input by the unrepresented public.

Forest Service and ourselves are currently in discussion regarding the matter of delineators on US- 89 in Logan Canyon. Since this project is a safety construction project utilizing Federal and State safety funds, there is some guarded caution to not increase public liability by failing to provide a reasonable protection to the motorist. The principal items being addressed in this contract are those which have been identified as being substandard so far as safety features are concerned. These difficiencies are those which could cause great harm to the public and magnify the liability exposure of the public agencies involved. We feel we have a cordial relation with the USFS district office in Logan, and I am confident that our present discussions will bring about a decision that will be sensitive to the the scenic values of the Canyon.

The Logan Canyon Highway construction project in Utah raises an important and basic issue that involves these resources on the Cache National Forest. Logan Canyon is known throughout America as a major scenic attraction. The beauty of Logan River and the fine trout fishing and recreation it provides have similar renown. The Forest Service recognizes the significant contribution to resource protection that the highway engineers have made through modification of the original design for this project . However, after very careful study by qualified individuals representing a number of different profeSSions, we have determined that additional changes are needed to meet minimum requirements for protection of scenic and fisheries valueso The decision has therefore been made to insist that these modifications be incorporated in the highway design as a condition for the issuance of a permit for highway construction through these national forest lands. Our purpose in furnishing this information to you is to insure full recognition of the basic issues at stake in this case. Among public land managers and conservationists throughout the country there is growing awareness of the adverse resource and scenic impacts of highway construction. Especially is this the case when the approach has typically reflected a philosophy of single rather than multiple use. The basic conflict is brought to focus in Logan Canyon. �Whether the threat be from road construction, as in this case, excessive livestock use, big game numbers beyond the capacity of the range to support, or fire, the end result is the same. Deterioration of the vegetation, loss of soil and destruction of mountain streams is too great a price to pay. Under a sound multiple-use approach the resources of Logan Canyon can be protected. The Logan Canyon Highway should be improved to meet present day traffic requirements on this section of the Federal aid primary system in Utah. (Fbr this project the proportionate cost share is 18% Federal and 22% State funds.) Improvement, however, cannot be allowed to result in resource impacts that can reasonably be avoided. An informed public, alert to the need for protection of the basic resources of public lands, will not allow this to happen - - - in Logan Canyon, or elsewhere in America. Sincerely yours, E. M.

Dear Mr. Lindley: I have recently talked with Craig Rayle, and others concerning the proposed highway construction activitae.s in Logan Canyon. The Sierra Cluo is concerned about actions ta _en _ to date by the utah Department of Transportation in efforts to comply with the National Environmental Policy Act. The purpose of this letter is to obtain answers to quest i ons we have about NEPA com pliance decisions. A rep~ to the following it~ms is requested. 1. re are an Environmental act Statement Section 1501.4 c of the Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for implementting the Procedural Provisions of the National Environmental Policy Act (hereafter called C~ NEPA Regulations) reads, Federal agencies shall: " Based on the environmental assessment make its determination whether to prepare an environmental impact statement." As I understand the current situation your office has determined that an Environmental statement is not necessary for construction of the Logan Canyon HighW ay. However, this decision was made prior to preperation of the environmental assessment; the assessment is to be released in the Spring of 1980. This reversal of decisions appears to be contrary to the ~ NEPA regulations. Has your office decided that an environmental impact statement is not needed for construction of the Lo5 an Canyon Highway from Right Hand Fork to Ricks Spring? Is the environmental assessment 10 be finalized in t he spring of 1980? �Mr. Lindley ovember 21 , 1979 Page two nificant act of the C~ NEPA Regulations reads Federal agencies shall: 2. " Prepare a finding of no significant impact if the , agency determines on the basis of the environmental assessme~t pot to prepare a statement. It (1) The agency shall make the finding of no significant impact available to the affect public as specified in Section 15.6.6" The Utah Chapter Sierra impact" as noted above. 3. Public Section C~ub requests a copy of the "finding of no significant act federal agencies shall: n .. In certain limited circumstances, whi~h the agency may cover in its procedures ••• make the finding of no significant impact ~vailable for public review for 30 days before the agency makes its final determination whether to prepare an environmental impact statement and before the action may begin. The circumstances are: " (i) the proposed action is, or is closely similar to, one which normally requires the preparation of an environmental impact statement under the procedures adopted by the agency ••• " Did your office allow for public review of the finding of no significant impact? When Yias the finding of no significant i:rlpe.ct made? How was the finding of no significant impact made availab~e to the public? 4. ~egmentation of the NEPA Process Section 1508.27 of the CEQ NEPA Regulat ions reads in part: ff Significance cannot be avoided by ter~ing an action temporary or by breaking it down into small cOllponent Darts ." (Emphasis added.) The distance frot. Logan C:ity-. - to Bear Lake is approximately 40 mile s • This 40 mile stretch of road includes several miles which have allready been widened. The maj ority of the canyon roaj 15 not wiiened . Your office now plans to widen a stretch of highway approximately 6.5 miles long, from ight Hand Fork t~ ~icks Spring. Did your finding of no significant impact include an evaluation of constrction planned from from aight Hand Fork to Bear Lake, or just an evaluation of the mileage from ight Hand Fork to Ricks Spring? Additionally, we are concerned about Forest Service Campgrounds which are associated with the highway proposal ; specifically food Camp Hollow and Rick Springs campgrounds. Did the determination that an Environmental Statement was not necessary include the environ~ental impacts associated with these two campgrounds? �~r. Lindley l ovember 21, 19 7 9 Page three A~~ additional information you can provide which will he l p in understanding compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act will be appreciated. 3ecause of the timely nature of this matter, a response is requested within ten worki.n6 days.

Box 11563 Salt Lake City, utah 84147 Proposed Construction Activities in Logan Canyon, Utah HE : Dear Mr. 13ohn: The utah Chaptee Sierra Club is concerned about proposed construction in Logan Canyon, Utah. Present plans call for widening of the existing highway. We are particularly concerned with compliance under the N ational Environmental Policy Act. As I understand the situation your office has decicied to change Logan Canyon from a Category I (environmentally sensitive) designation to a Category III designation; the Category III designation means that the area is not environmentally sensitive. This decision allows the Utah Department of Transportation to proceed with construction without the preperation of an Environmental Statement. Under Council on Environmental Quality Regulations for compliance with NEPA an environmental as se 'sment is regularly prepared on all federal actions. This brief review of environmenc.a.l impacts is uSed to determine i f an Environmental Irrrt-act Statemen:' is neen~d or not needed. The Utah Department of Transportation has stated publicly several times that they ~ill r~t need an Environmental Statement for construction activities. However , they do not plan to release the environmental ~ ssessment until Jhe spring of .'1980. The Sierra Club is now investigating this apparent violation of public law. Answers to the following items will help tis in obtaining a better understanding of the pr.)ject. 1. {hen did your office decide to change Logan Canyon from a Category I designation to a Category III designation? How was the public involved in this decision making process? When was this decision announced to the public? �George \~ .

PARK by Karen Vendell M.J. Roberts District Ranger Logan Ranger District 21 West Center Logan, Utah 84321 HE: Proposed construction activities in Logan Canyon Dear Mr. Roberts: I he.ve recently ta.lked with Craig Rayle and others concerning the proposed road construction activities in Logan Canyon. This area is environmentally sensitive, and should receive the attention of public and private organizations before any decisions are made on construction of the highway. The Sierra Club has expended considerable efforts on obtaining information on the project; additional information is requested from your office. As I understand the situation, the Utah Department of Transportation has decided that an Environmental Im• pact statement is Iwt necessary for construction of the highway from Right Hand Fork to Ricks Spring. Furthermore I understand that the road alignment will be altered considerably in the Ricks Spring area, including placing the highway on the opposite side of the River. Associated with this realignment will be the development of a Forest Service campground and recreation facilities at Ricks Spring. Additionally, I understand that the Forest Service is planning to construct a campgrouni L~ ~iood Camp Hollow. As you may recall the Sierra Club has urged the Forest Service to include Wood Camp Hollow in the Mount Naomi Roadless Area. As I understand the situation fill material from road construction in Logan Canyon will be used in the construction of the road base to the campground and construction of the campground itself. The proposed construction of the highway will include the removal of large amounts of rock and dirt. The disposal of this cut material is of concern to the Sierra Club. Relative to the three paragraphs immediately above, answers to the following inquiries is requested. �M.J. Roberts November 21, 1979 Page two 1. rlicks Spring Campground Development Does, the Forest Service plan to construct a campground and recreation facility at nicks Spring in associaticn with the proposed highway construction? If 50, please provide information on the size of the campground and recreation facility. Information on impacts on the riparian and floodplain resources is requested. 2. Wood Camp Hollow Campground Development Does the Forest Service plan to construct a campground in Woodcamp Hollow in association with the proposed highway construction? Will cntllaterial from the highway construction be used in the campground development? Information on the size of the campground is appreciated. 3. Disposal of Fill Material The Sierra Club would appreciate information on the disposal of cut material. Jpecifically, we would appreciate information on where the cut material is to be placed. Will fill material be placed in Temple Fork, Logan River, -Wood -: Camp Hollow and/or "1tauled out of the canyon! 4. Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act How does your office plan to compl~ with the National Environmental Policy Act in construction of the Wood Camp and Rick Springs facilities? If an Environmental Assessment Report is to be prepared,please give the estimated date for preperation of said statements.

We thank you for the opportunity to review the ROD before it is signed. Sincerely, Bruce Pendery cc: Nathan Hult Jeff Appel EPA Denver Office EPA Washington Office FHWA Region Office FHWA Washington Office �COMMENTS OF BRUCE PENDERY REASONS WHY A SUPPLEMENTAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT (SEIS) SHOULD BE PREPARED The extreme deficiencies in the Logan Canyon Draft and Final Environmental Impact Statements (DEIS and FEIS) that indicate an SEIS should be prepared have been brought to your attention previously (see letters from EPA, Haley and Stolebarger, and Appel and Mattsson, among others, submitted in response to the DEIS and FEIS). More particularly, the letter from Appel and Mattsson (see Appendix B of the ROD) pointed out that this whole process has been "out of sync" with what NEPA requires since the DEIS was essentially a scoping document, the FEIS functioned as DEIS, and so forth. This is not a matter of quibbling over details. At the core of the NEPA process is a policy that decisions significantly affecting the human environment will not be made arbitrarily and capriciously, and will be made with opportunities for informed public participation. By placing the whole NEPA process with regard to Logan Canyon out of sync, UDOT has violated those fundamental principles, thus the need for an SEIS. Safety provides a major illustration for this contention. Safety is a purpose and need identified for this project (see ROD, FEIS, DEIS). to the project. It is not a peripheral concern, it is central It is not a stretch to say that for many people the whole Logan Canyon project boils down to weighing environmental impacts of the project versus safety impacts. 1 Yet �the safety data which are used to support and rationalize the safety purpose and need (and the attendant preferred alternative) have been and continue to be seriously in error. As early as a 1986 public hearing, UDOT attempted to present incorrect safety data to the public as a justification for the project, despite knowing the data were flawed. Environmentalists were forced to point this error out at the public hearing so as to get UDOT not to use it. And even at this late date in the process, the safety data in the FEIS has had to be recalculated for presentation in the ROD because once again environmentalists pointed out the obvious flaws plaguing the data presented in the FEIS (see Bridgerland Audubon Society, Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon, and Ron Lanner letters in ROD Appendix B). Thus, the safety data in the ROD is new information that has never been presented to the public (see Appendix A of the ROD as well as the ROD itself which have large sections devoted to explaining what went wrong with the safety analysis in the FEIS). Moreover, and most shockingly, the safety data in the ROD are still wrong, as the letter from Steve Flint, contained herein, points out. So at this almost terminal date in the NEPA process we still have flawed data being used to support a major purpose and need for the Logan Canyon Project. And the significance of this is that informed public participation in this process cannot take place. All the hundreds of people who commented on the DEIS and FEIS were presented with safety information that was wrong, as 2 �the need to correct this information in the ROD demonstrates. And the ROD--even if the safety data in it were now correct--will not be seen by the vast majority of people who are concerned about this project. ROD's--almost by definition--are not intended to be vehicles for public participation. Thus, the significance of UDOT's out of sync approach to the NEPA process becomes clear: not only is the process out of sync, but with each step up the NEPA ladder toward project approval fewer and fewer people are able to review the project, and those who previously reviewed the project were presented with incorrect data purporting to support UDOT's preferred alternative. Therefore, an SEIS is needed not only because the data presented have been repeatedly wrong in the past, but also because each time UDOT presents the "corrected" data, fewer people are able to participate in the evaluating the decision the data supposedly supports. UDOT tries to avoid the need for preparing an SEIS, with its attendant wide-ranging public participation, by stating that certain individuals have been closely involved in the development of the modified preferred alternative (see, e.g., ROD Appendix B page 39, but this same statement appears in numerous other places in the ROD). But involving five individuals (Bruce Pendery, Shawn Swaner, Steve Flint, Nathan Hult, Jeff Appel) in this process--while greatly appreciated and we believe productive-simply cannot substitute for full-scale public involvement in an SEIS process. As has become clear recently, public sentiment 3 �regarding this project is simply too diverse and widespread to believe that the above five people adequately provide for "public involvement" when a basic purpose and need for the project has never been adequately presented to the public. While we are viewed as knowledgeable about this project in the environmental community and to some extent are considered leaders, we simply cannot and do not represent the concerns of the hundreds--perhaps thousands--of people concerned about Logan Canyon. If UDOT wants informed public participation in this NEPA process it must provide for that via and SEIS. In addition to the fact informed public participation has been hampered, UDOT's modified preferred alternative is a arbitrary and capricious decision. The DEIS, FEIS, and ROD all make much of the fact safety will be improved if the preferred alternative is implemented., But what basis can there be for that assertion when the information it is based on has been flawed since at least 1986 and continues to be flawed? I have largely exhausted the topic of why an SEIS is needed. However, I will point out that the same analysis applies to 4(f) sites and to wildlife. The 4(f) documentation in the FEIS was also wrong in a number of instances and a has had to be corrected (see ROD Appendix A, 4(f) Map section, as well as the ROD itself). Likewise, UDOT presented essentially no information in the FEIS about the numerous sensitive species in Logan Canyon (see ROD Appendix B pages 28 and 35). The ROD contains some information on these species (see ROD Appendix A, USFS Biological 4 �Assessment). Thus, just as for safety, informed public participation could not take place in regard to these critical issues because the information was wrong or absent. Moreover, simply presenting the information in the largely nonpublic ROD phase of the NEPA process does not correct the problem. CURRENT LEVEL OF ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFIED PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE WITHIN THE ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNITY Repeatedly in the ROD UDOT states that consensus has been reached with the environmental community with regards to the modified preferred alternative. That is an incorrect statement, which we have made clear to UDOT. Not only is it incorrect, it makes it more unlikely compromise will be reached because those most opposed to the project would deeply resent UDOT unilaterally announcing that consensus exists. Let me be clear. discussions with UDOT. Since last December we have had a several The tone of those meetings has been constructive and positive. I personally want that process to continue because I believe compromise is preferable to confrontation. However, it is my opinion that a fully acceptable compromise has not been reached yet. Let me explain why. As the modified preferred alternative stands, conservationists would get most of what they want in 14% of the canyon (road stays on current width and alignment between mileposts 383.5 to 387.5, although there could be some curve cuts we don't believe are necessary). UDOT gets everything it wants 5 �in 42% of the canyon (full u.s. highway standard between mileposts 399.8 to 411.8, with almost 8 miles of that 12 miles having a passing lane). Neither UDOT or conservationists get exactly what they want in 43% of the project area (mileposts 387.5 to 399.8). At a meeting in early July Dave Berg asked me how far along toward compromise we were. Based on the above considerations, I said I thought we were 75% of the way there. about where we still stand. I believe that's Seventy-five percent of a potential compromise does not equal compromise, let alone consensus. Moreover, as we found out at a meeting we convened in July there is a significant group of conservationists in Cache Valley who believe we are not even seventy-five percent of the way toward compromise. This information was conveyed to UDOT in a timely manner. To summarize, I believe that a generally acceptable compromise is possible, but it can only be reached by continued hard work seeking to narrow the differences that still exist, not by premature and unilateral statements that consensus has been reached. RESPONSE TO BRIDGERLAND AUDUBON LETTER (APPENDIX B PAGE 16) The Bridgerland Audubon Society (BAS) provided extensive comments on the FEIS. I was the author of that letter, although I no longer hold an official position with BAS. Unfortunately, I believe most of the concerns that were raised in the BAS letter were dismissed with conclusory statements using circular 6 �reasoning. While UDOT may feel it has adequately addressed this letter, I hope the FHWA and EPA will make an independent assessment of these concerns and how well UDOT has responded to them. What follows are items related to the BAS letter that I feel are particularly significant. It is not nearly an exhaustive list. 1. Since AASHTO allows for design exceptions, they are not genuinely standards. Thus, the "written-in-stone" portrayal UDOT has given to the public over the years is incorrect. Moreover, UDOT still fails to state what legal authority AASHTO has, perhaps because it has no legal authority (Appendix B, page 17). 2. On Appendix B page 25 it is stated that treatment of clear zones has been more clearly defined in the ROD. Even if true, this is yet another case of not presenting the public with correct (or clear) information until the public is largely no longer part of the process. prepare an SEIS. That is, its yet another reason to Moreover, BAS Table 3 was correct, what was wrong was that UDOT had failed to explain what "typical improved area" means in its FEIS, thus defeating informed public participation. 3. On Appendix B page 27, UDOT indicates that recreation isn't emphasized in Logan Canyon, and that it isn't a recreation area. That analysis ignores the Forest Service signs welcoming visitors to the "Logan Canyon Recreation Area," it ignores the Forest Service's attempts to get highway enhancement funds to show off Logan Canyon's many recreational attractions, it ignores 7 �the brown (i.e., recreational) FHWA or UDOT signs pointing the way to Logan Canyon, it ignores the clear direction in the Forest plan that Logan Canyon will be managed primarily for recreation. Under UDOT's constrained analysis, the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (also managed by the Forest Service) would not be a recreation area because its not absolutely only used for recreation (grazing is allowed in some areas). I prefer the more pragmatic duck test: if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, etc., it is a duck. area. Under that test Logan Canyon is a recreation And neither UDOT or the Forest Service can reinterpret the law in an inappropriately constrained way--and the law makes it clear that when the managing agency designates an area a recreation area in its plans, that area must be treated as a 4(f) area. 4. On Appendix B page 28 UDOT frets about having to concern itself with "hundreds" of species. Only 27 species were asked about, and now with the public largely removed from this process something has finally been said about them (see Appendix A, USFS Biological Assessment). Moreover, not only does the Forest Service have to do a biological assessment before a decision document is signed, it must do the assessment before the decision is made which certainly has not been the case here. 5. UDOT says on Appendix B page 29 only a Forest Plan Amendment will be required, not a revision. However, conservationists have long contended a much more significant revision will be required. Revisions are required when the basic 8 �output of goods and services from a forest are altered. I believe the modified preferred alternative will meet that test by transforming Logan Canyon into yet another Wasatch-Cache National Forest high-speed conduit, rather than the singular peaceful and quiet ride in a major canyon that it currently is. In fact, Logan Canyon's beauty is not only of forest-wide singularity, it is of national significance, as a soon-to-be-released national article will demonstrate. 6. Some pages are duplicated incorrectly beginning on about Appendix B page 29 to 31. 7. While the Forest Service has evaluated the Logan River for Wild and Scenic status (Appendix B pages 29 to 31), it has also said that new information could cause a reevaluation. Such information was recently provided by Mr. Drew Parkin who is one of the nation's premier experts on wild and scenic rivers. He concluded most of the Logan River within the highway project area qualifies as a recreational river. to the Forest Service. His report has been submitted UDOT should more fully consider the ramifications of such a designation, and not just state that there will be no effect due to the project. 8. Appendix B page 32 indicates it would be speculative to worry about land use changes if the land exchange occurs. The land exchange will occur because authorizing legislation has been passed by Congress and signed by the President. And to compare Forest Service land use policy with Utah State Lands Board policy is like comparing night and day (I'll leave it to you to decide 9 �which is the benighted agency). There will be changes in land management and it is disingenuous to ignore that fact. In particular, the need for "laydown" fencing should be reconsidered because it is unlikely there will be cows to keep off the highway. 9. On Appendix B page 33 UDOT responds improperly to the 4(f) issues that are raised. As indicated above, all of Logan Canyon is a recreation area, its not a few parking sites. Moreover, the reason for selecting the 4(f) sites was not to protect parking, but rather to protect aesthetics, hiking, and exploration. These are the protected features or activities (see Appendix B page 34). Furthermore, not only is the conservationists' alternative feasible and prudent, it also does not produce any genuinely unusual situations precluding its selection. And when a feasible and prudent alternative fails to meet transportation needs, the needs must be reassessed, which UDOT has not done. Failure to meet transportation needs does not mean an alternative automatically causes an unusual situation precluding its selection. 10. The concerns raised on Appendix B page 35 are indeed specific to the Logan Canyon Highway project since these species occur nowhere else, and failure to address the question runs contrary to Eugene Kleckley's (FHWA) written assurance that all of our concerns would be addressed. 11. Over the years UDOT has repeatedly refused to consider 10 �slow vehicle turnouts as an alternative to passing lanes. However, these are a practicable alternative to the passing lanes contemplated between mileposts 391.6 to about milepost 396.5 that would avoid wetlands impacts (see Appendix B page 36 and ROD pages 32 to 34). As we have often pointed out to UDOT, slow vehicle turnouts are successfully used in several states. And UDOT has told us that they have the statutory authority to use slow vehicle turnouts. Therefore, they must be used in preference to passing lanes where wetlands impacts will occur. Additionally, while UDOT partially responded to BAS's concerns on Appendix B page 36 by reducing the road width to 34feet between mileposts 391.6 and 399.8, this response was incomplete. UDOT fails to point out why it does not plan to leave roadway width at 26-feet in section 1b of the canyon (mileposts 387.5 to 391.6). If 26-feet is a practicable alternative in section 1a (mileposts 383.5 to 387.5), why is that not practicable in section 1b, where the canyon is virtually as narrow and wetlands/riparian impacts likely as great? Furthermore, UDOT dismisses BAS's concerns about wetlands mitigation in sections 1a and 1b by saying "the commentor . . . felt" (ROD page 33)there was a poor likelihood of revegetation success. However, it was not a matter that I poor likelihood of success. "felt" there was a Rather, I cited recent scientific - iterature--produced by scientists working for the very agency l whose land will be impacted (the Forest Service)--stating there is a poor likelihood revegetation will be successful in areas 11 �such as sections 1a and 1b (see Appendix B page 37). If the scientific literature that I cited is somehow flawed UDOT should cite "better" information. That's how science works. demands the use of good science. And NEPA Until then, it appears UDOT has no scientific basis for claiming it can reclaim the kinds of wetlands that exist in sections 1a and lb. Finally, UDOT still feels simply stating best management practices will be used is sufficient to meet water quality mandates (Appendix B page 37, see also ROD page 32). otherwise. The law is Moreover, UDOT has failed to adequately coordinate with the Utah Division of Water Rights (see Appendix B page 6) which feels UDOT has likely understated the water quality impacts of the project. Thus, UDOT is too vague about how it will mitigate water quality impacts and has likely underestimated those impacts, yet UDOT wants approval to proceed with this project. That is not how NEPA intends environmental review to proceed. 12. An inability to do a "before and after" (ie, cumulative) comparison of wetlands and aesthetic impacts in the already-widened section of Logan Canyon with the project area would be unfortunate (Appendix B page 38). However, I believe that if future aesthetic conditions of the road can be predicted in the project area, past conditions in the already-widened ' section can also be estimated. For example, there are certainly many old photos of the canyon that could be used for aesthetic comparisons, and many of the old wetlands have left "footprints" 12 �of their existence. While not an ideal scientific situation, to simply state that no useful cumulative comparisons can be made between the project area and the lower canyon overstates the situation. UDOT says the Forest Service feels the presentation of visual quality data was more meaningful when presented in a way unlike that in the rest of the FEIS (Appendix B page 38). Why did UDOT let the Forest Service dictate this approach when BAS-and several others--made it clear in their comments on the DEIS that this was not a more illuminating approach? MAJOR FLAWS APPARENT IN THE ROD What follows are additional major flaws that I perceive in the ROD. 1. Again, this is not an exhaustive list. On page 40 of the ROD UDOT mistakenly thinks only an irreversible commitment of resources can invoke NEPA relative to 4(f) designation. Actually the test is whether designating a 4(f) site is a Federal action significantly affecting the human environment. The selection--or more importantly, lack of selection--of 4(f) sites in Logan Canyon meets that test and certainly warranted at least a FONSI or an EA. 2. On page 18 of the ROD UDOT says the Forest Service will issue a transportation easement not the special use permit described in the FEIS. What is the significance of that change? If one of these involves the Forest Service conveying a property right while the other is merely a license, this is a significant 13 �change, and the public has not had a chance to comment or be involved in this decision. 3. As I have discussed in several of our meetings, the exact location and size of staging areas must be spelled out. This is a major project impact that has not been previously addressed. 4. I have already mentioned the tendency towards unwarranted conclusory statements in regards to how the BAS letter was addressed. That same problem is particularly evident in the defensive discussion on purpose and need on pages 27 to 29 of the ROD. As I said above, the safety data were wrong in the FEIS, are still wrong, and question begging rhetoric does not alleviate that problem. Likewise, the discussions related to traffic volume predictions, the associated level of service, the utility of SR 14 as a comparison to u.S. Highway 89, and AASHTO standards are mostly just defensive and conclusory. 5. On Appendix A page 7 there is a critical UDOT memorandum. First, under the logic developed in this memorandum, there is little or no safety rationale for the 40-feet wide road UDOT still proposes in much of the canyon. All of the remaining proposed 40-feet wide highway could just as well be 34-feet wide. UDOT should strongly consider this fact as a means of reaching a generally acceptable compromise in the canyon. However there is also a very disturbing remark made in this memo. It is stated: "[A]nd given the fact that we would be able to proceed with the construction of the project . . ." if the 14 �road width is reduced to 34-feet, going to five foot shoulders is acceptable. Did UDOT decide to go to a 34-feet width instead of a 40-feet between mileposts 391.6 to 399.8 because of its goodfaith discussions with conservationists or because EPA and/or the Corps of Engineers told UDOT they would not get a 404 permit if they did not make this change? The sentence quoted above certainly implies that someone was holding a very big stick over UDOT's head, and frankly I doubt that it was conservationists. 6. The letters from the EPA and the Utah Division of Water Rights on Appendix B pages 1 to 6 are a must read. In essence, not only has UDOT failed to insure an approved wetlands permit is acquired before the project is authorized, it has also put off significant input on water quality impacts until the as yet nonexistent design phase. We mentioned earlier how UDOT has marginalized the public's ability to participate in this process by its out of sync NEPA process. It appears UDOT is doing the same with expert agencies that should have input to this project prior to its approval, not after. A SUGGESTION FOR COMPROMISE Many of my comments in this letter have been critical of UDOT's approach to the Logan Canyon project. That's because I feel the ROD is as flawed a decision document as were the DEIS and FEIS. However, in the spirit of compromise let me offer a suggested approach. When the final ROD is issued it should only approve 15 �construction of the bridges, namely Burnt Bridge, and Upper and Lower Twin Bridges. These are the "scary" bridges in many people's opinion, and as I understand it the ones that are in need of replacement due to their age. UDOT apparently has funding to reconstruct these bridges and UDOT has indicated that replacing these bridges would take about two years. During that two year period an SEIS could be prepared for the remainder of the project, wherein the public and concerned agencies are given a full opportunity to participate before a decision is made and when it can still have a major effect. Many of the major flaws that I have pointed out in this letter and my letters submitted on behalf of BAS regarding the FEIS and DEIS could be corrected in this process. The numerous other flaws pointed out by other commentors could also be addressed. The EPA's deep concern regarding segmenting a project (see Appendix B pages 1 to 4) might be addressed. Additionally, the constructive and positive discussions UDOT has had with conservationists could continue in a effort to narrow remaining differences. In any event, UDOT does not have funding for nonhridge portions of the project yet, so taking a couple of more years to "get it right" should not be a major problem for UDOT fiscally. You will note that I did not include the Red Banks, Franklin Basin, or Amazon Hollow structures/bridges in this proposal. There is simply too much controversy associated with them (due to their extreme width and wetlands impacts) to expect that they would meet with general acceptance, unlike the three bridges 16 �mentioned above. Moreover, as far as I know, the only "problem" with these bridges is that they are not as wide as UDOT would like. However, they do not seem to be as narrow as the bridges mentioned above (they certainly are not "scary"), and they are not nearing the end of their useful life so far as I know. Thank you for this opportunity to provide these comments on the ROD, and I hope that UDOT and the FHWA will consider this compromise proposal so that a generally acceptable compromise might be reached for the Logan Canyon project.

State· Salt Lake City, Utah 84138 7720 December 6, 1979 Marta Douma Tollerup P.O. Box 3561 Logan, Utah 84321 L Dear Ms. Tollerup: We appreciate your interest in the Logan Canyon Highway project and commend you for wanting to be adequately informed to give realistic input. In response to your letter we will follow the same numerical sequence. 1. An Envirornnental Assessme.nt Report cons ti tutes a Forest Service Decision Document. The decision by the Forest Service to allow the proposed project to proceed in and through National Forest land was made April 20, 1971, when the Environmental Assessment Report (EAR) was approved. This approval was given subj ect to, 12 "Special and Functional Considerations" listed on page 29 and 30, and 53 "Recommendations listed on page 37, 38, and 39 of that report. The 1971 EAR was given to Utah Department of Highway officials on May 18, 1971, in a meeting which was held to discuss the · contents of that report. That · report was for their use in prepa.ring an Environmental Statement . On October 15-18 of 1979 an Interdisciplinary Team from the Wasatch National Forest conducted an ·evaluation of 3 different alignments for improving the Logan Canyon Highway. All three alignments were very close to the existing road alignment. The basic difference between the three alternatives was the radius of the curves. That evaluation was forwarded to the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) on November 26, 1979, and a copy is attached for your reference. 2. A copy of the EAR which was approved in 1971 and given to UDOT is also enclosed. To reduce printing costs the appendix material is not included. It can be reviewed in the Logan District Ranger's offiee located at 21 West Center Street, Logan, Utah. Phone number 752-9533. : .... . J �The environme ntal effects were disc us sed in the 1971 EA, again in our evaluation report submitted in November of 1979 and will be discussed again by the UDOT in the Environmental Assessment they are preparing. The significance of environmental effects will vary by alternatives. , We have recognized scenic, recreation, fisheries, and total river environmen't values as being the most · significant resource . concerns to be considered. Alternatives ' which were considered in the 1971 EAR (page 32) by the Forest Service are: 1. No Reconstruction. 2. Resurfacing on the existing alignment. 3. Alternate Routes. a. Through Blacksmith Fork Canyon. b. Strawberry-Sharen Forest Highway. Our evaluation report prepared in November 1979 considered three alignments within the existing Logan Canyon Highway corridor. ~ The Forest Service has not requested an Environmental Statement to be prepared .. 3. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is the lea,d agency, since they are the Funding Agency. The UDOT is preparing the EA for submission to FHWA who will make the decision on funding.

This draft is be:ing prepared by CH2MHILL for release this summer. My hope is that the EPA will be able to intervene in the process so that an inadequate, biased document is not released to the public. I realize that this is an extraordinary requeslt, but I feel the si tuation warrents attention. Several environmental groups and a number of unatr'iliated citizens are working together as Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon. We are attempting to make sure the draft EIS is an acceptable document when it is released. As CPLC member Rudy Lukez has already contacted you with a number of our concerns, I will emphasize problems in the most recent drafts which we have reveived. It is only a few days ago that we- got our firs.t look at the impacts and mi tigation sections of most of' thes- chapters, yet. C1f2MHILL expects the Interdisciplinary e Study Team to have completely reviewed them by Monday, 22 June. Despite the fact that no discussion has taken place on the great majori ty of the impact assessment part of the document-, a summary chapter of the different alternatives has already been written. This chapter is clearly biased in favor of the intensive development alternatives. It scareely acknowledges any environmental impacts, even though some are reviewed in other chapters. . Clearly there will be major impacts. In several alternatives, over 7,000 feet of retaining wall is proposed for a 4.5 mile stretch of road. Most riparian vegetation will be destroyed where these retaining walls are placed at the edge of the Logan River. While the Terrestrial Resources chapter admi ts some of the impacts would be obvious f ·o r decades, the summary chapser ignores this information. In addition to these retaining walls, a continuous cut into the hillside would be necessary to accomodate the wider road. Despite the fact the WasatchCache Fores.t · Plan calls for the visual "retention" of natural characteristics in the canyon, the summary chapter ignores this conflict. p.o. box 3580 logan, ut 84321 �2. During the public input period it was clear that there was strong support for a "spot improvement" alternative. It was recommended that each proposed modification be examined on the basis of need, contribution to safety, and environmental impact. Increasing .speed (which is all that the more extreme action alternatives would do) is not considered important by most people, although it seems to be about the only thing that the Federal Highway Administration represeniativ~ is interested in. CH2MHILL has slighted this alternative. Their spot improvement alternative replaces virtually every bri@ge and culvert, straightens nearly every curve, and places a climbing lane in one of the most difficult sections of the canyon. Impacts are obvious but once again neglected. This: process has been continued despite our repeated mention tha.t the Forest Flan permits only limited changes to the canyon highway. The plan is very s·pecific on this, particularly where the Forest Service responds to the public input from the draft version. At the interdisciplinary study team meetings, we have quoted from the plan, yet CH2MHILL has consistently ignoi:ed this,. There are a number of other unanswered questions' in the present draf·t . Disposal of rubble from the many propos.e d cuts has scarcely been addressed; the few available locations (abandoned gravel pits and old roadbeds) will only handle a fract,i on of the material genetiated by the more extreme action alternatives. Erosion from the resulting cut slopes has not been addressed in the necessary sitespecific manner. While I could continue with examples, r think this illustrated the problems with the present draft. If they adhere to their present timetable of a summer release of the draft ErS, it is doubtful that ~e necessary revisions will be done. Some sections require complete rewriting. We would like to see the public receive a. fair and accurate document. This is why we are requesting your assistance. We worry that after $620,000.00 is spent on this study, there will be a feeling that it is necessary to proceed regardless of the q~Iity of the document. Please contact me if you have any questions.

Hur 1ey, P. E. Director of Transportation (08-P) Salt Lake City, Utah During the past several months, there have been various discussions among FHWA and UDOT district and central office personnel regarding the type of environmental document to be processed for this project. Based on the controversy that developed during the previous attempt to upgrade this route and our knowledge of the current opposition to any major improvements within the canyon, FHWA has determined that an environmental impact statement (EIS) should be prepared. We understand the desire of the UDOT to convert this document back to an environmental assessment (EA) should no controversy or significant impacts be identified during the development of the draft EIS. As outlined on pages 11-5 and 1I-5(b) of the FHWA Flexibility Document (copy attached), there is a process by which the draft EIS may be converted back to an EA based on certain conditions. Should these conditions be satisfied during the development of the draft EIS, then FHWA would consider processing this project as an EA. Please furnish this office with a notice of intent as soon as possible to tiate the environmental process.

H~ev er, there are si tua tions when this does not have to be the case. Whereas many areas of flexibility exist because of a specific regul atory prov iSion, this item of flexibility exists because it is not expressly prohibited by any regul ation or statute. During the development of the EIS, it may be concluded that (1) none of the reasona bl e a1 terna ti v es to the action have a potential for significantly affecting the environment, (2) all of the al terna ti v es which have significant impact s are unreasonable (i.e., they do not warrant further consideration in the NEPA document), or (3) the preferred al terna tiv e has no significant environmental impacts. If such situations exist, an EIS may not be require~ by NEPA or the CEQ regulations. Therefore, to conclude the NEPA process for such actions, the EIS could be converted to an EA or FONSI and processed accordingly. COHSIDEHATIOIlS: Conversion of an uncirculated draft EIS to an EA is basically an indication that a presumption made early in the process was not borne out by further analysis. The EIS process should not be initiated unless the preliminary environmental studies and early coordination identify the potential for reasonable al terna tives with significant environmental impacts. Another si tua tion arises when the draft EIS incl udes an al terna tive which has no significant impacts (e.g., pcssi bly a TSM al ternative). If this al ternative is selected after circulation of the draft EIS, a final EIS would not specifically be required. To help the publ ic's understanding of this process, it would be useful to include a statElllent in the draf t EIS to the erfect that if al terna ti v e "I" is selected, final processing of the project will be done with a FONSI. �II-5(b) ~ t ( ~ f. A notice should be placed in the Federal Regicter intorming the publio of the reasons why the EIS will not be oompleted and the tact that an EA or FONSI is instead being used. 111e " agencies and public invol ved in the early developnent of the draft EIS should also be informed of this decision. It should be noted that Section 1508.27 of the CEQ regulation (40 eFR, Parts 1500-1508) provides some guidance on the term "significantly" as used in NEPA. However, in light of this limited guidance, the decision or .' what constitutes a significant impact (i.e., an impact requiring completion of an EIS) is fairly subjective.

( 11-7 SUBJECT: Abbreviated Version or Final Environmental Impact statements (EIS) REFERElCB: 40 CFR 1503.4(c) CROSS HERIDC!: Page 11-8, "Condensed Version or Final Env ironmental Impact Statements (EIS)" DISaJSSIOI: ( When only minor changes are necessary to respond to comments received on a draft EIS, this section of the CEQ regulations allows the processing of the final EIS to be substantially abbreviated. In such cases, the draft EIS need not be rewritten. The responses can be written on "errata sheets" that are Simply attached to the original draft EIS. Further, only the comments, responses, and any changes need to be circulated; however, the entire EIS must be filed with EPA, i.e., the errata sheets and the original draft EIS. This prov ision can reduce the time needed to dev el op a final EIS and the cost incurred in rewriting and reprinting the document. COISmERArIOIS: The key to using the abbrev iated procedure is that the changes in the EIS are minor and limited to responses which (1) make factual corrections (e.g., changing the date of a historiC event that was erroneously referred to in the draft EIS), or (2) explain why the comments do not warrant further response (e.g., adverse comments on an alternative that is not selected as the preferred al ternative). Limited or minor comments are often a reflection of low controversy as well as good, early coordination and public involvement. As a result, this regulation is an additional incentive to perform these early inv 01 vement activities. RESPOHSIBL! OFFICE: Office of Environmental Policy (HEV-11) �II-5(b) i~Orming 1 A notice Bhould be placed in the Federal Register the public of the reasons why the EIS will not be completed and the tact that an EA or FONSI is instead being used. 'lbe agencies and public invol ved in the early developnent of the draft EIS should also be informed of this decision. l It should be noted that Section 1508.27 of the CEQ regulation (40 CFR, Parts 1500-1508) provides some guidance on the term "significantly" as used in NEPA. However, in light of this limited guidance, the decision ot o what constitutes a significant impact (i.e., an impact requiring completion of an EIS) is fairly subjective. One must therefore recognize that there is a risk invol ved in going from an EIS process to a FONSI decision. This risk could be compounded if the project is controversial and the significance determina tion is likely to be challenged in court. As another option, a State may consider using an abbreviated or condensed version of the final EIS in these situations, if the conditions are appropriate (see pages II-7 and II-8).
