You subsequently asked for copies of legislation that had changed Interstate design standards in order to address environmental concerns. I've enclosed copies of the two instances where an actual law was passed. I also asked FHWA for examples where they had made administrative changes in design standards for environmental reasons. They gave me the following examples: Projects where designs were down scoped including reduction of lanes but not below 4 lanes": -- 1-476 in Philadelphia -- 1-279 in Pittsburgh --1-676 in Philadelphia --1-66 in Washington, D.C. Projects where designs were revised to include cut and cover requirements because of environmental reasons include: 1-10 in Phoenix 1-90 in Seattle 1-696 in Detroit 1-78 in New Jersey I hope that this information is helpful and apologize that it took so long. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Salt Lake City Office P» 0 • B0 ~< 22 1 8 Salt Lake City, UT 84101 Before moving to Philadelphia last summer I lived in Logan for more than 6 years and have become very attached to the beauty and diverse recreational opportunities of Logan Canyon - a place of striking natural scenery only a five minute's drive away from my door step in Logan. As a planner and landscape architect I have become very concerned with the repeated efforts of the Utah Department of Transportation to widen portions of highway 89 which serves primarily recreation traffic to various destinations in the canyon and to Bear Lake. The enviromental impacts of road widening in a narrow canyon especially during the construction phase are tremendous, ranging from pollutants carried by increased runoff to complete rechanneling of the river severely altering flow patterns, stream velocity, the aquatic and the riparian life zones. However, I will not talk about the environmental effects here. I assume others who are more qualified will do so. Instead, I will talk about the scenic experience one has on Logan Canyon highway and how it will be affected by the proposed developments. Beautiful scenery can make driving an enjoyable experience. Especially when the road changes direction frequently allowing the driver to enjoy views from a number of different angles without having to take his eyes away fl'"om thE·? r-oc1.d. Speed of travel greatly influences what the driver can see. At high speeds only far away objects will be visible long enough to be noticed. A wide open valley is suited ver-y well for high speed tr-avel, because scenery at a distance of several miles~ such as mountain ranges~ will be visible long enough to make an impression on the driver. In a canyon the time allowed to enjoy a particular view greatly r-educed if travelling at the same high speeds. In the wider parts of Logan Canyon from Ricks Springs to Bear Lake summit a travel speed of 40-50 mph allows the driver to view a number of peaks and long valleys, such as Steam Mill Peak, Beaver Mtn. ~ Bunchgrass Canyon, and the Sinks. IS :I. �In the lower part of the canyon, from First Dam to Right Hand Fork? the road follows the river in wide arcs around dominant ridge lines that fade into light blues in the distance. Each ridge is the gate to a new segment of the canyon leaving the driver in constant anticipation of what lies ahead. The road in this part of the canyon has been widened in the past to allow for travel speeds up to 50 mph and it includes passing lanes. The general openess and width of the canyon can accomodate this speed as the driver still has sufficient time to enjoy the scenery. The canyon narrows down further after Right Hand Fork. Steep slopes on either side of the canyon reduce the field of vision substantially. Even at 25-30 mph one can only catch a glimpse of the splendid views, sometimes through the canopy of road side vegetation. It is this part of the canyon that offers the viewer the most dramatic limestone walls, wooded slopes, and the closest views of the river rapids through lush riparian vegetation. Most objects viewed are within 100 feet of the road. Passing by at speeds exceeding 30-35 mph would result in nothing more than a blurr and tunnel vision. It becomes evident that a widening of the road to allow for faster travel will only result in a diminished experience of the canyon's beauty. Logan Canyon highway need not become a high speed connection for travellers concerned only with how fast they can reach their point of destination. Interstate highways serve these needs far better. Tourists with tight schedules are better advised to use 1-15 and Rte 30 to travel to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Logan Canyon j c a scenic attraction in itself. Along with the valley it may be one of the most memorable experiences for travellers who enjoy being away from the fast paced systems of transportation. Do we want to sacrifice the scenic experience of Logan Canyon for those who want to beat the lift lines at Beaver Mountain Ski area or those who race their motor boats up the canyon on their way to Bear Lake? Granted, some of the proposed improvements such as bridge replacement, turnoff lanes, parking areas off the highway, and signs warning of bicyclists would greatly reduce some of the problems experienced in the past. I support only some of the proposed actions in Plan B spot improvements. Left turning lanes at Tony Grove Lake and Beaver Mountain will greatly reduce the inherent conflict of fast moving vehicles, and vehicles waiting to make a left turn. Many recreational vehicles move slower than the average traffic resulting in long lines and sometimes dangerous passing maneuvers. These problems could be 2 �improved by providing turnoff lanes and requiring slower vehicles to make use of them. I strongly oppose a passing lane in the dugway section, even though it is the only feasible stretch of road for a passing lane in that part of the canyon. The extensive blasting and resulting destabilization of the above lying steep slopes will cause ongoing erosion problems for the road as well as add sediments to the river below. I feel that an approach, where each segment of road is studied as a separate problem by weighing the benefits of improvement against the degree of environmental impact~ responds much better to the unique areas of Logan Canyon. I urge you to reconsider some of the Plan B spot improvements proposed for Logan Canyon highway, to assess the real values of the canyon and the interests of those who enjoy its recreational and scenic qualities most. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

' UNITED STATES DEPARTME N T O F AGRICU LTURE FOREST SERVICE Logan Ranger District P.O. Box 448 Logan, Utah 84321 7730 November 26, 1979 Brian Beard 93 East 100 South Logan, Utah 84321 L Dear Brian: I received your inquiry today regarding the proposed 3rd phase reconstruction of the Logan Canyon Highway. In reply to your questions: 1. Ricks Springs Campground Development proposed. No, we do not plan to construct a campground at Ricks Springs in conjunction with the Logan Canyon Highway proposal. Yes, there is an inventoried recreation site on the opposite side of the Logan River at Ricks Springs. The site was selected back in the NFRS Inventory done in 1962. There has been no site plan developed for recreation development there; however, by our management we are protecting the inventoried recreation site to prevent loss of resource values per chance there may one day be a need to develop the site. There has been some rough draft planning to protect and enhance public safety at the Ricks Springs Natural Feature. There is no approved plan for undertaking any development as yet. 2. Wood Camp Hollow Campground proposed. No, we do not plan to construct a campground in Wood Camp Hollow in conjunction with the proposed highway improvement program. Yes, there is an inventoried recreation site in Wood Camp Hollow. It was also selected in the NFRS Inventory completed back in 1962. There is no detailed plan for development as yet, and there are not, now at least, any plans for development. Yes, there was a preliminary ground survey made in Wood Camp Hollow for an improved access road up to the Old Juniper Trailhead. As I recall, the survey was done in 1969. There are still one or two engineering survey pegs in the ground there. The bridge that crosses Logan River at Wood Camp and the construction of the Old Juniper Trail were part of the recreation development originally programmed for public outdoor recreation 6Z0 0-11 (1 /69) �development within the Logan Canyon Recreation Complex. It was also originally planned that overburden from the proposed 3rd phase Logan Canyon Highway improvement project would partially be utilized in developing the Old Juniper Trailhead access road. This road was a part of the resource evaluations considered with the Environmental Analysis Report done by the F.S. on the 3rd phase of the Logan Canyon Highway back in 1973. 3. Disposal of fill material? During the evaluation processes of the upgrading of the Logan Canyon Highway we have always been concerned about disposal of overburden and excess cut material. You may already be familiar with uses that were made of excess material from the previous phase. Some clean rock was used to stabilize the river channel bank, some rock was used to reestablish the stream hydrology as in the lower box culvert below the Big Hole. Some rock was used to enhance fisheries. Top soil was saved and put back on cut slopes for better establishment of vegetative ground cover. Some excess material was used to surface portions of the Cowley Canyon forest road, and of course a great deal of cut material went back into Logan Canyon Highway road itself. Any material in excess was wasted in the "Grubic Mountain" where it was molded and landscaped to a near natural land form. Possible uses of overburden and excess cut material from the proposed 3rd phase Highway Improvement program may be similar or hauled out of the canyon. We have looked at and are still looking at possible beneficial uses should the road work be undertaken. The Cowley Canyon road could benefit from additional material to improve the driving surface as well as to lift the road above the drainage channel and improve water quality. There may also be a similar opportunity for improvement to the Temple Fork road. There may also be an opportunity to utilize clean rock to stabilize stream channels in Logan Canyon and side drainages. Perhaps the fisheries of Logan River, Right Fork, and Temple Fork could be improved with appropriately designed structures utilizing clean rock. The re may be other uses as well, but environmental assessments of each would be necessary before any undertaking. The same with any actual waste sites selected. Some waste disposal sites looked at to date include the Twin Bridges, both the upper and lower end; the Wood Camp area, mentioned earlier; the draw immediately below the lower of the Twin Bridges; and the bench at the present site of the Logan Cattle Allotment corral are a few of the possible waste sites looked at. There has been no definite selection as yet and there would be an environmental assessment made to determine if there is an appropr~ate waste site. 4. Compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. Environmental assessments will be prepared to meet the National Environmental Policy Act for any project we propose to undertake that will have significant resource impact. As I have previously stated, there are no plans to develop either Wood Camp or Ricks Springs in conjunction with the proposed Logan Canyon Highway �project. As a matter of fact, I do not see any development for these areas in the forseeable future. We have asked our Fisheries Biologist and Hydrologist to study the Logan River, Temple Fork, and Right Fork Streams to determine whether there could be something done to improve the fish pool-riffle ratios and to stabilize the stream banks to improve water quality. Should these studies suggest the opportunity for improvement we will do an environmental assessment to determine feasibility before any undertaking. These will be made available to you for your input. We are now in the process of responding to the Utah Department of Transportations most recent plan and design for the proposed 3rd phase of Logan Canyon Highway Improvement. A copy of this will be made available to you. I appreciate your personal interest and the interests of the Sierra Club in protecting the resource values of Logan Canyon. I solicit your input in al~ proposed activities involving National Forest lands of the Logan Ranger District. I am equally concerned for your support of proper and wise use of all lands within and adjacent to the National Forest lands regardless of ownership. Periodically there are proposals and activities in the private and state sector within the National Forest Boundary that could adversely change the values and uses of the forest. I am sure the county and state planners and administrators would welcome your input and support as well. Should you have any questions regarding this reply, please get in touch. Sincerely, District Forest Ranger � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists.

There is a des:Lre in most people for opportunities to have direct contact with nature and the outdoor elements. Logan Canyon is fa!l'led for its natural beauty and scenic features. Major attractions are the beautiful Logan River winding down canyon through lush green vegetation of the spring and SUll:ner and the brilliant flaming colors of the fall season . There are magnificient scenes of rugged mountains rising abruptly from the canyon bottom that is barely wide enough to accommodate the river and the canyon highway. And there are picturesque rock outcrops into which are growing evergreen and mountain shrubbery. A good variety of wildlife abounds in the canyon and can often be seen by !l'lotorists travelling into the canyon. Deer and elk winter at lower elevations and ~ny sightseers make the trip into the canyon to watch these an i ~ls browsing and !l'loving about i n their natural habitat. SOlIe water fowl can be seen propagating young in the !l'lore still waters of Logan R.iver. The geology of Logan Canyon is very interesting because of the variety of natural features such as Ricks Spring, the Arches or Wind Caves, the China Wall, which is an exposed li~estone fault, the Logan Cave and the Brachiopod Rock. Dlring a drive through Logan Canyon one passes by an ancient aquarium of fossilized plant and anill8.1 life. Land forms are present that give evidence of the once present Lake Bonneville. Still growing after more than 3,200 years on a rocky crag overlooking Logan Canyon is the great Rocky Mountain Juniper, Jardine. People living in New York, Los Angeles, and other parts of the country have telephoned the Logan Ranger's Office to inquire ~~ of the turning of fall colors so they can properly time a trip to see the canyon in its most vivid colors. ~, Recreation values are very high in Logan Canyon. The canyon is within one and one-half hours driving ti~e fro:n the State Capitol and is used extensively by Utah people as well as by vacationeers fro~ all parts of the country. The recreatton Use continues to increase each year as more and more people travel to the canyon. Approximately 336,000 visits were made to the recreation areas in Logan Canyon during 1969, most of which were campers and picnickers. In addition to these visits, :TIany people enjoyed fishing, hunting, sightseeing, swi:n~ing, skiing, hiking, cycling, nature study, photography, horseback riding, berry picktng, -and use of SU~!11er hO!11es located in the canyon. Highway 89 through the canyon has beco!!le a popular route for tourists travelli.ng to other National Forests and National Parks such as the Yellowstone and Teton area ·. Logan Canyon is -well-known for ' i ts natural beauty. It is es·p ecially beautiful i n the fall when leaves are changing color. There are 26 developed forest recreation sites in Logan Can,yon, 8S suamer cabins on National Forest land and 7 on private land in the canyon, L~ organi ·z at ion camps, one major developed winter sports area, and 2 lodges, one of which is on private land. Even with this nU!l'lber of developed recreation sites, there still are not nearly enough to ~eet public demands and it is eSsential that encroachl1ent onto f$;'.'1I~' ~}(' ~;. ,~.- " ��3.

Roa.d construction will remove 'portions of this vegetative screen and every effort should be :nade to protect or restore the screening. Abandoned road sections should be obliterated, and revegetated to restore as near to natural conditions as practical. The aesthetic value will be subjected to intensive change by the rightof-way cleartqg. Careful attention must be given to this operation to preserve individual trees and shrubs on the fringe of the clearing boundary. Tree stUT.pS should be cut as near ground surface as possible where stumps are not taken out c~mpletely. Trees taken out with the right-or-way clearing can best ~ disposed of by chipping the branches and cutting the trunk into lengths of 8 feet or less and stockpiling for campground use . . - ~ �Recreation Use- Logan Canyon Management Composite Year 1969 Visitor-Day Use 1000) 208. 7 Recreation Visitor (x 1000) ex 1970 220.0 1971 228.2 1972 264.4 1973 295.3 1974 308.5 1975 210.3 249.8 1976 317.6 270.6 1977 357.7 266.3 1978 37 L 4 •• 300.1 1979 398.8 334.1 I 1 ~ I I I , ! 1 i "/ II 12/19/79 ' \" F.R.L. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Kingston Road Farmington, Utah 84025 (801) 451-2025 1990 Representative James Hansen 1017 Federal Building 324 25th Street Ogden, Utah 84401 Dear Representative Hansen, I was very disappointed to read about your support for conversion of Highway 89, not only your support for making it into an expressway, but even worse, an interstate. I attended many of the public meetings on this issue over the last two years and can not believe for one minute that you would support either of these proposals as a representation of the will of the people. It is obvious to everyone that attended these public meetings that the residence of the area do not want another 1-15 in their backyard. Nor do we need one. I have written Mayor Arbuckle to congratulate him on his opposition, the thought of sacrificing the USU gardens in Farmington in favor of acres of asphalt and concrete is tragic. I hope that the time will corne when the battle-cry of "economic development" will not longer justify every travesty of nature and unnecessary public expense that is proposed, especially when the proposal will destroy the economics of a community and the lifestyle that we bought our homes to enjoy. supporter � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

For reference purpoaes , each rep:lrt will be munbered. in the upper right corner and in each case the number w111 also be the dat. of the report which _111 make them eally to tile . up On this first report No 5-6 I have brought the entire operation/to date by including everything that has been tumed in 110 far . Since I plan to send theae reports in every rew days , or at least once a week in the future, I w111 probably coneolidate the pa.id and future ordera on the lIame form using a space at the bottom. to list the future' . Thill bottom portion could alWayll be detached. 11 you prefer to keep separate files on the two types of contractll . In order to keep Bill Baas out of trouble, it will be hec easary to send the membership dues checks to ms so that I can supply the list of memberships covered, and remit t . Bill _ in the usual manner on my regular "Remittance Advise" fol"&.. Wake these checks out to the International Asan. and. always make a notation on the check including my report number like this •••• " 4 dues No 5-0" • You can mark your check number on your copy of my report showing the date the item waa paid and I will do the same on rq copy of the report and this will give us a simple but easil)' audited set of double records . Aa soon aa I get time , I will unload the duplicator and run off a batch of these forma so that our aystem will remain uniform. On the coll1rlissions , we will use the same aystem. For my record I plan to use a double entry ledger sheet and with each report sent to you I will. make a charge against the Promotion Fund(Report No 5-0 ••• •• $J77 .JJ) and will enter a credit as the itemd are paid. In order to .peed things up, I am going to make every effort to secure lcae sub-agents. It possible, I would like to leave a coiple working here down South while I am up North during late June, JUly, and August . These agents Will eubmit their reports to me , and I will include t heir business along with mine on the reports I send to you . All commissions will be paid to me, and I in turn will pay my own sub-agents and keep my CMa books and recorda on these transactions . As to my debt to the Committee for advance draws • •• I dis cussed this with mr additor before leaving Salt Lake and he advises me as follows: In keeping my tax records , he will list this aivanca as Ugross incoman(which it really i8) and then balanc e the dtem by charging it off as "expense" as it is rapa1d by me . To keep the record simple and 8>1"8 accurate, he recommends that I repay this advance in instal1.m.enh by personal check rather than have it deducted. !'rom eamed. conmis3 i ons . If I am correct, this figure is $ JJ.2O. 77 ( $ 1200 draw plus S 220 . 77 ""Peo.e advance) . It TOU &Uoo that t his oy.tem will be satisfactory, I will enter the item on my ledger as a liability under "accounts payable tl and will li.:quidate it by check in installments at intervals and in such aJD:)unts as I can afford. :tty contract calls for this debt to be refunded out ot the final settle:nent of total comniss i ons earned, but I believe it will be better for i l l concerned to work it as suggested. above and start. paying it ott as s oon a.s I get my head above water . It you choose, you could endorse rq cbecks and send thea on down to Bill BaS 8 as a means of liquidating the debt to the International Assn. It w111 simplify :your accounting to pay rrq c011lDissions in tun as each report i8 received in keeping with the "pay as 1OUu8GII system. Otherwise you would probably have to set up various "reserve funds l1 to cover th1a and other liabilities which could become quite complicated in time. P.S . I will send notices to tne "Future Pay" a ccounts prior to the due date. �FROJ.I: M.E.Cantwell TO: Bentley Mitchell (oopy Ray Stewart) SUBJECT: Report on sOlicitation M ontpelier Idaho April 7, 1957 *** ************ ***********. ************** ******************* ***** **** Inclosed are two Adve rtising orders- one from the JEWELL MOTEL with check for $ 50.00 at tached and the other from the SWISS MOTEL with the notation thet Mr. Emil G1euser hes agreed to mail his check to you within 30 days.

In the meantime , I got a .tart in Gardiner. Charlie ~ ~ tin came down trom Livingston to the Chamber meeting , and we got some resul ts as you will I. note"trom the report. I called Ernie S~an , and learned that he will be out of town for a week , but is etpecting me around the 15th to 20th .

In the meant~e , Charlie will .pend .ome time with me in Montana getting a start and will help me try to locate a sub- agent to follow thru while I am in Alberta.

Ray advised us tha t the necessary six (2/3) ballots had been cast in favor without a It NO" vote except Charlie Martin , who thru error had signed in the wrong space . Charlie intended to vote "YES" , and advised me that he had done so when I was in Livingston . He is sending in a new ballot properly ma'rked to ma.ke i t legal . On the strength of this information , I have proceeded to hir e Mr . Orad and, and am running classified ads . in Great Falls and Livingston . On the attached report , I have listed the "sub- agent" sales first and drawn a . . 7. sub- total showing the 50% ba siness . My personal 33 1/3% business follows with the total commission due (both kinds) listed at the bottom. This I thin~ will work out O, K., unless you have other ideas . On these orders , I worked with Orad helping him make the sales etc . but had him sign the receipt part of the order which will indicate to you that they are "sub'!'agent sales" For auditing purposes , the signature of the sub-agent on these and future contracts will be your authorization to pay the 50% s~es commission under the terms of the revised contract . ~ Speaking of the contract , I guess Bill Bass never found the two copies Ray claims, he mailed for signature . Fortunately , I retained a third copy and will d~aw up something new. including the amendment . This I will do as soon as I find time , and send them along to you ·for approval . You then can send them down to Ray for signature • •• or it there is any p6int in question , you and I and Ray can work it out when we meet in Jackson. ************* In making out this report , I have assumed that by mow you have mailes the commission due on Report No . 8-17 send a week ago Monday from Browning , and therefore did not show it as a"balance duel! on this current report . Char l le Martin called me here inhaggary the other night to tell me that the Chamber boa~d had not been ~ble to meet yet , as they had planned , so in the event you had been holding payment waiting to include the commissi on the Livingston CLof C. grant , wait no lomg*r • Funds are low , and . getting lower , so shoot up a check for the works including this No . 8- 27 report right away , as it wilm be a hell of a tight squeeze until these prospective $ 300 checks begin to roll in .

Cantwell SUBJECT : Special request re payment of commission mn three financial grants included in Report No . 8- 31 , attached . ************************************************************************ Since the first of August , the majority of my time has been spent in concluding Convention arrangements at Jackson t preliminary"missianaryU effort in Gardiner , Livingston , Choteau , and Great Falls Montana and here in Alberta working with sUb- agents and making key contaots with Vice- Fres . Saean in Calgary , Red Deer , Banff , and Edmonton. Considerable of my time was wasted at Jackson in the non-productive job of getting the Convention arrangements brought to a head in which I was a victim of circumstances beyond my control which offered no alternative except to stick it out . I can assure you that our Convention arrangements would have been in a sad state by now had I not stayed with it . The missionary work done in Montana shows promise of resUlting in tangible support when I have the opportunity to follow thru . . W."" To date the potential support in Alberta , and the favorable reception given indicates a final total far in excess of Ernie's most optimistio estimate . Three sponsorship grants of $ 300 each have been given final approval and tour others , also for $ )00 each , have been favorably recommended and are now pending official approval . Sub- agents have been apPointed in Calgary and Edmonton( The President of the local Motel Assn. in each City) and some 15 lines of listings by new members have been either paid for , or pledged pending a follow- up call . In addition , solioitation has been started on several other sizeable financial grants other than those mentioned above but as yet have not attained a secure enough status to be reported as ~potential" at this time . ! • In spite of all this good work , we have taken in very little tlcash money" as of now. I am sure it does not require a detailed explination as to why we cannot put the "rush act" on these organizations or high pressure such customers as the Provincial Government, Chamber of Commerce , and Calgary City Government into upsetting their normal accounting routine by insisting that they hand us the cash with the order . We are happy to have our grants officially approvea with payment to follow as soon as it can be cleared thru channels . As a result of the foregoing , I have been unable to hold up my ob ~ igations at home which has aggravated an already strained situation since it was never in our plans that I was to spend weeks on end away . During the entire month of August , I have actually only received one check ( $ 200-Report No . 8- 1) from the Promotion , and have only a total of $ 185 actually due from reports Nos . 8- 17 , 27 , 31 a major portion of which is owed to sub- agents . I am therefore in a serious and embarrassing financial position requiring immediate relief . In view of all the above , I am faced with the necessity of making this speCial requewt to the effect that I be paid the commission on the three financial grants included on the attached current report now, rather than waiting until the checks ~ have actuall y been received , which would of course be the normal perceedure . �BENTLEY MITCHELL August 31 - Page 2 All three of these grants have been officially ap proved , and the checks will be mailed as soon as they can clear routine ac counting proceedure . The contracts inclosed do not contain actual signatures for the reason that you simply do not insist that people like Provincial Ministers "sign onn the dotted linelt and in the case of City Council meetings and Chamber meetings , the mat l.. er is approved by motion following our presentation and diSCUSSion! which usu~lly takes up more of their time than they had planned , and t woUld not therefore be good ju4gement to intrude further by holding the meeting up to get a contract signed . I have no reason whatsosver to expect that you would doubt my word regarding these contracts , but from the standpoint of providing you with moral support , Ernie has suggested that he also should , as a Corporati on Vice-Presi dent verify the my request . His letter is attached . contracts , and endorse As your authority in this matter I quote from the minutes of the Directors meeting at Afton which authorizes our committee to !tdo all things necessary in the pranotion , production t and completion of the program , etc" and also deSignates you to administer the financial transactions . Burnett's official resignation will soon be on file to facilitate his replacement , which leaves a three man committee , and I am sure that Frank would not oppose a little detail matter of this kind . I was very much m4fraid that a situation like this would eventually come up , and that ' s the reason why I' was anxious to set up some sort of a finance plan , in the case we han a lot of business pledged for future payment ••• n& tes , however would not apply in the present case , since the payment of the grants will follow shortly , and it is not a case of the sponsors being short of funds . The $ 300 . 00 commission ot these grants will just pass thru my hands to take the pressure off at the moment , and will therefore not put me in a comgortable position for long . While we are on the matter , I would therefore like to request that you also consider the possibility of making it routine to pay commissions on these larger contraot s in cases where the grant has been officially and finally approved and the matter of issuing the check is in the works . I persobally cannot see any possible objection to it , aw long as the ac count balance can afford to hol d the bag for a week or so until the check arrives . From my standpoint , it woul d take a great load off my mind, especially since I will devote most of my efforts in the solicitation of these large chunks now , and leave the line listings tor t¥e sub- agents to tollow up . This is the only way we will ever get the job done . From all indications , we will usually have to wait a short period for the check afeer the grant haw been approved which would kee~ me in hot water most of the time . Traveling expenses total practically $ 100 per week , and I have obligations of about $ 400 monthly in Salt Lake City , so you can see where I really have to keep it comming in to enjoy any peace of mind . In addition, I will be moving pretty fast, and even after you receive the checks , you would in m ost cases have to ~ wait until you heard from me in order to send the commission. On my reports , I will always be able to give a current address , and could get my commissions fast if you were to pay on approved contracts upon receipt of the report . �BENTLEY MITCHELL August 31 - Page 3 Anothe» advantage is the fact that I would like to be in a position to give my sub- agents a check for their commission as soon as they turn in the paid orders . This will help keep their morale up and on the job. 5 it is now, I cannot afford to do this , and have to ask them to wait ~ until I get it back from you and Bill Bass ••• I can ' t send the membership fees to Bass till I get it back from you , so it makes it a hell of a long way around the pond ••• and it will get more involved the more sub- agents I get and leave mil es behind me . If I can get full commissions advanced on my good contracts , I could probably be able to payoff the SUb- agents and hold the bag until I get it back from you . I hope I have made myself clear ••• this letter is getting pretty long and invol ved . This request applies ONLY to good contracts in cases where the grant has been approved , and the check is to tollow in short order . It does not apply to the "future payment contracts" where the guy is short of money and promises to mail the check in 60 or 90 days .

Dan has phoned us several times regarding ideas he has on how to get some pretty go ~ d money out of one or more of the Petroleum. Companies , and is quite excited over the whole deal . All in all , we ha ve a wonderful potential lined up , and unless it all falls down around out ears will cut a nice bit of hay here in Alberta . } The reception DaB been great everywhereo •• due to Ernies advance efforts and popularity AND the fact that these people are apparently ripe for this promotion. The ver y thought of several million, people visiting Yellowstone each season ••• practioally in Alberta ' s front yard thrills them with the possibility of attracting a percentage of these Yellowstone visitors into Alberta . We have had a million dollars worth of publicity and the inclosed EDITORIAL from the Heral d , Calgary ' s leading daily newspaper would indicate that we are turning out a pretty good selling job . It ' s really something for a large daily in a City this size to give unqualified support to a promotion in it ' s EDITORIAL colums (Salt Lake Papers please note) IF we are lucky enough to secure anotheb top - notch sub-agent in Edmonton this will take care of the two major large Cities where the going is the slowest , and I will be free to cover the smaller communities and resorts once I have spent a few days breaking him in . Cecil Grad here is Calgary is about ready to go it on his own . These men will continue to work right up until pr ess time with Ernie to give a little prod if they begin to lose interest .

Many of these groups operate under some form of religious sponsorship, and thus it was teresting to observe the marks of one Calgary mini'ste on the subject during day sermon. Rev. C. A. ~~~,~lle~~~~~:'~ of Sl. Stephen's Church, re-asserted the sibility of goodness by and he commented that movements which seek remove abuses, without jog acceptable . themselves destined tual disintegration. The truth of Mr. statement has been before.

The probable would be to impair the respect which churches command in Ch ristian society. The same thing is true in the broader application of Mr. McMullen's message. If laws are passed which penalize everyone to prevent abuses by a few, then the law and the groups responsible for its creation will both fall into general disrepute and disfavor. Laws there must be, to punish people who offend society by unacceptable moral or physical conduct. The public supports. in fact demands. such legislation. But the public will not endorse laws which penalize everyone and Umit individual freedoms, unless it is convinced that the laws are sound. The public must be convinced o[ the basic need for any given law if it is to succeed in its purpose. If one individual's behavior is socially inadequate, it is pointless to try to improve him by punishing someone else whose behavior is perfectly all .right, and this is the point which most social legislation fails to consider.

The 89'ers International High· way Association has been form ed with the idea of making a 6,500 mile route from Mexico to the jun ction of the Alaska highway north of Edmonton a popular tourist route. Alberta's Highway No.2, the main northsouth route in this province is part of the picture. As has been pointed out frequently iit these pages the pattern of tourist traffic is changing. Where once the best roads to the few good mountain re· 5:orts led through Alberta, now there are alternate routes and alternate mountain resorts. The province of British Columbia has started a vast new highway program and its interior resort areas are developing rapidly. Highway 97 runs through the centre of B.C. from the U.S. border to Alaska and in the U.S. it runs south to California. At present it is receiving publicity and support from tourist groups along the way who hope that they will encourage much more traffic over No. 97 Some of that traffic might come to Alberta, normally. We are not suggesting that there is not enough to go around, or that Alberta should get in some sort of petty fight B.C. The thing is that Alberta must make every effort it can to cash in on the tourist trade in spite o[ changing traffic pat· terns. The Highway 89 plan is one way in which Alberta can get the advantap:e of widespread publicity for the resorts and facilities it has to offer the tour· ist..Ken -Liddell, Herald columnist. who has devoted a. good deal of attention to Alberta's tourist problem, noted in a recent. story on the 89'ers Association that the plan is to divert U.S. tourists into a north-south pattern rather than an eastwest. The number of tourist automobiles entering Yellowstone Park in the U.S. this year was 1,000,000 by August 1. If one car in three could be diverted to Glacier Park in Montana then into Alberta via, say, Waterton, it would be a tremendous boost to the Alberta tourist industry Martin H. Cantwell, executive secretary of the association is visiting in Alberta tr.ying to get groups and individuals along Highway No. 2 to join the association. It would be very much in Alberta's interest to give him full co-operation. Mr Cantwell says selling the value of the tourist business is a communi ty - to - community problem. His remarks underline the necessity of a tourist promotion bureau [or Calgary. _ _ _ _ _ _ __ 5 Ah Well, One Man's (Shark) Meat -I " "'rtising ag~ncy �Dear Bentley: It's almost daylight , and time to get packed up and started nor Calgary.

Upon leaving Jaokson , I gave Livingston as the tordwarding address , and lett instruotions at Livingston to send it on up to Calgary. It will take s everal additional days tor mail to clear thru this routing , but I will eKentually get it at Calgary. Bentley advieed me that he had talked with you by phone and that b the ballots were mailed , I know that Ernie was out ot town tor about a week and with the possibility that some ot the others might also have been away, it oould happen that the neoessary six ballots have been slow in arriving.

'~ ~~ Dear Bent leYi Had planned to add a l ittle more to the note regarding the payment of membership dues t o the parent organization, but got to the bottom of the page befor e I realized it . The only way I can proteot myself, and guarantee a true balance between Bill ' s annual report and mine, 1s to us e the "remittance advise" system listing all member4hip fees collected, and get a signed receipt from Bill for each transmittal of funds from my office to his . This gives me a set of "fool Iroot" records tor auditing purposes r egar dless of differences which might appear when the two reports a r e compar ed beuause the re ceipted remitta nce advises would i ndicate which of the two reports ar e in error . IDhe only way , therefore that I can r ecord membe rships on his books is to send him the mone~and getlt his receipt • •• that makes my re port of total pa i d membership for the year j ibe with his financial st a tement of revenue received . It wi l l look better to the auditing cOmmittee , and elimina te the possibility of misunderstanding and error if we follow thru with this same system. In most cases now, I am gett ing the membership tees and adve rtlsKlng payment in two different checks , which will save work tor you a nd simplify y our bookeeping . I will continue to du this whenever pos s ible • ••• Commissioner Satterthwaite invited us to attend the Rich County Commissioners meeting on W ed, July 3 aaa ask for some money . M ark will go for sure, a nd will try. to take a d elegation from the Utah end of the Lake . It being the day before the Fourth, he may not ha ve much luck in r egards to a delegation because allot the resort ope rator s I contacted down that way a round Garden City wer e af r aid that they would be t ied up checking in the ir r eservat ions on Wednesday o In view of the fact they I plan to sol'vi t e ALL of the 89 ' er County Commiss ione rs in Utah it is impor tant that we meet with succcess in Rich County as this would r esult in setting a favorable pr ecedent, and probably int_uence the decision at Bome of the other s . At the moment the chances don ' t look too good that I wo uld be able to attend this meeting , but when the day arrives , if there is any possible chance to fit it in , I will try to go along and give Mark a little moral support . I just migJt decide that a couple hundred picked up down there on W ednesday might beat anything I could expect to accomplish a round J a ckson on the eve of the ir most hectic and busiest day of the season . SUNDAY A. M . There is a letter from Ray at Salt Lake which I had my wife read to me last night . He has written to Freeman regarding the visit to Arizona Fre eman and Davis planned for "late in June", a nd i . qui te discouraged that his letter has remained unanswered.

Aandahl--Aeeistant Seoretary of the Interior Dear Senator Watkins: Apparently the resolution of the 89'ers International Highway Ass'n, Ino. refers to the potential Snake Narrows Projeot, Idaho-Wyoming, whioh the Bureau of Reolamation is ourrently investigating. This study includes investigation of the Alpine site on the main stem of the Sneke River about three miles upstream from the Idaho-Wyoming border. A dam at this site would form a storage and regulatory reservoir and appears to be the one to which the 89'ers are objectIng. Reclamation's investigation also inoludes the study of alternative dam sites on the several tributaries to the Snake River in the general vicinity of the Alpine si'l;e in the atteillpt to find sites of a less oontroversial natu1'e whioh if developed might provide adequate regulatory s'oorsge in Ueu of a dam at the Alpine site. During the course at this study Reclamation 1s cooperating with various interested authorities of the State of wyoming and others with the objeotive of de~loping a projeot plan which would be agreeable to the greatest number and have the least adverse etfect upon the area. On the basis Of present sohedules a planning rsport containIng oonclusions will not be oompleted tor about two years. Prior to oompletion at a planning r.eport by the Bureau of Reclamation, all interests will bave an opportunity to review the results at the investigation and to submit opinions. These opinions will be given oareful oonsideration before reoommendations are formulated. As requested in your letter of October 24, 1957, ~ are enclosing the oopy of the resolution for your use and files. Sincerely yours, (Signed) Fred G.

S. 89 in Wyoming between Alpine und Jacksono This section at U. soo 89 is included in the Federal-aid primaxy system and also in the Foresot highway system which establishes its eligibility for improvement with the particij)ation of these Federal hi(!hway funds if requested by the State, Inasmuch as the State initiates ind.i vidual proj ects for highway improvements involving either of these funds, it would be appropriate for the Association to direot its presentations to the \(yoming State Hi(!hway Department . Resolution No.2 protests the possible improvement of a route extending from .\shton. Idaho. through Cave Falls. ',;yomin!;, to Uo S. 89 at Flagg Ranch south of the Yellowstone National Park. Idaho state Route 47 is included in the Federal-aid secondary system between U.

Idaho State Route 47 is inoluded in the Federal-aid secondary system betiYlean U. s. 91 and the 'farghee National Forest. and the State has reoently improved this section by the placing of a bitlwUnous road-mix surfacing with Federal-aid funds partioipating in the oost. Thi" same section of Route 47 and its oxtension to the Wyoming State line is included in the Forest hillhwey syst8lll. l'he State hae not included in its current pro3ram involving Forest hi~way funds, any project providing for any improvement of the balance of tilis ratite. The extension of this rotlte into Wyoming fram the Idaho State line throU&h 8ave Falls to U. s. 89 as rcfer£ed to by the Assoaiation is not included in a Federal.aid systeo o~ a Fores·t Hiehway system. Therefore, lmprove.tl8nt of such a route would not now be eli31ble for parUcipatlon at either of these Federal. hiGhway funds in the cost. Resolution lIJo q 8 .l'ccOlfllilends the improvement of U. S. 89 in ft-.l"izona between the cities of Ixescott and ;ackenburg ol This section of U. s. 89 is included in the Federal-aid primary system "hich establishes its eligibility for improvement with the participation of Federal-aid funds i t requested by the State and matched with funds under its control, and if approved by the Bureau of Public Roads. As the State initiates projects for highway improvements involving Federal-aid funds, it would be appropriate for the Association to direct its presentations to the Arizona State IllghVlay Departlllent at Phoenix. The Association may be assured 'hat Publio Roads will give prompt attention to any request received from the State tor particIpation at Federal-aid funds in the improvement at this route.

In order to publish this beautiful International broohure , and finanoe the pl anned distribution of 150 , 000 (or more) oopies from ooast to coast , financial support in the amount or $3 , 500 . 00 is required from eaoh area in support of it's double pass .

From what he told me I h::lve flgu:red au the following: You have been unable to get a reply from Freeman. Cache County gave us $ 75 . 00 • I am to call you before I leave :Iickenburg. "ill do . Chas. Hagerman and I conta oted the delinquent members if Presoott , and were able to renew most of them in addition to .Licking up several new ones . Only sold two listings , but expect ~ 300 from the Chamber of Commerce after their .~rch 11th . meeting. 'ls yet have not heard what the Flagstaff Chamber did . ,Iill write more detail after a few days in ,ickenburg , and will oall you before I leave. �Prescott J Ariz . February 15 , 1958 Dear Bentley: Will try to bring youl up to date on happenings since I feft you in Richfield . Stopped overnight in Panguitch , and had a talk with Owen ,ialton , the President of the Club there . Owen was of the opinion that~he best thing to do is to a bandon \he Bryce Canyon Club . Says he h~ s never been able to get anyoDe oU3to a meeting , and has no time to work on it . They only have a few members paid up , so 1 agreed with h~ . Next morning I picked up several dues . ', la s surprised that Allen Cameron (Burnetts father) was so cold to the 89 'ers •• •had quite a time talking him into paying up . Everyone is flat Me l• • broke in Panguitch at this time of year , but I may be able to pick up a few more on my way back . Stopped to see Del Robinson as I pas s ed thr~ Kanab , but he was away on a W inter vacation . Left a bill for his dues , and a copy of the Club by- laws , and so will have to see him on the way uP . Spent a couple of days in Flagstaff trying to stir up some interest in the brochure . Hal Jaokson , Secretary of the Flagstaff Chamber seems to have lost all interest in the 89 ' ers • •• at l e ast he took a very dim view of our chancDs. to get anything out of the Chamber . He did , however finally consent to me taking it up with the Chairman of their Advertising Committee . I went over the promotion with this guy , and left a dummy and a written presentation to be taken up before the Chamber Boarl!. meeting today . :1111 probably get the news in a few days , and I have a hunch that it will be bad . Stopped at Jerome to see what they intended to do about their picture , The Historical Sooiety would like to have the picture, but are in bad financial straits due to a recent tax proposition that practically cleaned out their preasury . I suggested that the Verde Valley Chamber might help on the picture , a nd they are gp ing to see what can be done about . There is a possibility that I may save this situation if I can find the time to re- sell the entire deal, and get the Verde Valley Chamber interested . Hagerman was on his way to Phoenix for the week end when I checked in , and I only had a few words with him. He don't sound too hot , but I will see what I can do with him when he returns M onday. I gigure that I might as well put it on the line ~ to the effect that the Directors are expected to pitch in and offer a little help locally . This mi ght scare him off , but I don ' t see how I can expect to get much cooperation out of Prescott i f he won ' t front the deal a bit . Practically all of the Prescott members a re delinquent past 60 days . I talked to Bersanek , President of the Club , and he is in favor of dropping the Club , and did not even offer to renew his own membership . They have never held any meetings , a n~Lnever will get any cooperation as long as Bersanek in the lead man . ~ ill talk to Hagerman about this M onday , and see what he thinks . Bill Frazer , Secretary of the Prescott Chamber practically promised me a • )00 s ponsorship last Spring . He still thinks that they will go for it, but cannot sign up until after their Board Meeting on March 11 . Looks like Glacier Park Co . will go for $ )00 :':F I that they will get an even break with Yellowstone. can satisfy them �---2--I can ' t understand Glacier being so jealous about Yellowstone . I'll bet plenty that they would have very rough going if it were not for the millions . that Yellowstone brings into Montana • I won ' t tell them this , ot c~urse , and wiOl try to get them sweetened up to the point ot writing the check. Had a letter trom Bill Bass crying about how bad things were in Wickenburg this season , and expressing the opinion that we probably could t nt expect much cooperation t here . So what t he hell? Phoenix, like Salt ,take City has many highways, and tor this reason we h~ve never had Bnt support the »e . Looks like our only chance there is to hit the Chamber, and the Arizona Development Board tor a good chUnk . If this fails , I don ' t know what to e~pect . It would take two or three months to make any kind of an effective Canvass O the motels t and cafes . I might be able to hire a sub-agent or two , but judging from what my present agents are dOing , I don t t have much faith . As you probably know, I sold practically every order tor my agents in Alberta . Have you heard anything from Freeman yet? It not , I suggest you e~ther wire or call him and see whats cooking . He never Ray ' s letters tor months until he tinally wrote and said he hospital . It we are going to get this brochure out on time , Mexico in it , there is no time to lose . that answered was in the and have Frankly , Bentley , things look pretty rough here in Arizona at this wtiting , sinoe we have lost practically all of the leadership and support we had here two years ago . Everyone along US 89 between Flagstaft and Phoenix are scared to death that the Black Canyon Hwy . will get the 89 number some day . It may not be as bad as I t h ink , and may turn OuD O. K. , but at the moment I teel pretty blUe about it . My main worry is that I am in such bad tinancial shape that I ' ll reach the end of my rope soon unless something breaks . L don' t Doubt but what Richtield will come thru O. K. as Homer prOmised , but that ' s in the fut ure as is the prefc ott Chamber and the Glacier Park Co . I am wondering it anything has come 0 a head yet in Logan . If ym could get a difinite u commlttment out ot t e City and County , the commission on that deal might save the day . 'Nill conter with Hagerman Monday , and then start out to see what I Can do with about 20 delinquent members here in Prescott. Then to rlickenburg . Am staying at the Apache Lodge in Case you have any thong to phone abou t ,.. . or the mail address is "Care General Deli very , Prescott" .vill probably be here until about the 19th . or 20th , and will leAve a forwarding address . \Vould like to hear from you . Regards, �Sunday A.M . Dear Bentley: Vlill get this in the mail this afternoon , in the hope that i t will reach you Monday . I was pretty well set a week ago to get back into the harness • • obut seems like it never rains but what it pours . A week ago today , Mrs . Cantwell was involved in an auto acc l dent • • • made a total l oss out ot her car , and nearl y killed hersel f • • • but came out luckY with only a few cuts. br uises , shock , etc . Has been discharged t rom the hospital , and is now getting along pretty good . The insurance Co . has been waiting for verif i cation on the policy , which they expect will arri ve tomorrow ( Monday) . I f so , I will have t o spend Monday getting the claims settled etc. If the paper s are not ready t omorrow , I will take off for Logan Tuesday A.M. anyway , and will wai t to settle the claims when I get baok . J~ ~ _.._.\ "V '\) OJ""" I will not be able to start South until ~ut the firs t of Feb . , as t he doctor wants another electr o cardlgraph i t;;tore he turne me l o ose . He says I am f eady to go O.K. , but want s thi s final check i n order to better advise me on just how str ong I can go it . In the me abtime , I thought I might get some work done i n Logan ••• piok up a few members, and talk to the City and County Commissioners . Also I feel very strongly that I should run up to Jaokson . With the extra f ull col or page in t he new layout , I have a verl strong hunch that the Jackson Vlinter Sports Assn . might go about, 500 f or a color t picture . Thought I would call Fred Hauchens, and see if he can get a meeting togbther towards the ene of the week , at which time we could read a ll the letters received in regards to the Resoly tions , which aught to put the Jackson folks in a good mood . Have made duplicator copies of t s e most important letters which are being mailed out to all sponsors of the resol utions , and all Directors . W l l give you yours when I see you , also copies of some correspondence . i The new dummies worked out pretty good , and between the wife and I we have pasted up about fifty copi es , which will be available to mail or leave with prospects . There are so many things to talk about, that it w ou&dtake all day if I were to try and get it in this lette r •• • so will wait till I see you . While we are toget her , we will draft up a letter t o 81' . Freeman . Got a l e~ ter f rom Homer Bandley .•• says he 1s ready to go to work . W onder if it would be possible for you and I " 0 fly down and see him together before I hit Arizona . Just a thought • •• thint it ~ver . I figure I had better h i t pretty st raight for Presco~~ when I leave , not wasting much time 0:0. the way down . Then to Phoenix and Tucson . Should be done I n Arl xona by the end of Feb . and then . inish Utah in M arch . ', all be seeing you TuesdajJ A. M. If you don ' t ha1>pen to be home Tuesday , it won ' t make any di f ference , as I will go right ahead making some cnlls . However , it you should happen to plan-O il to be away most of the week, call me at home ( CR 7- 0260) Monday ni ght . ~~ �J Sat . P. M. Dear Bel!tley: The best , and only eM airpo',rt in W ickenburg is at the FLYING E ranch about three miles ,lest of th., town , and a couple of miles off Hwy 60- 70 . On your chart , you will see another airport close by at the Rancho de los Caballeros . This fi~~ld , however does not have pumps and service . I went out to the Flying E t( ) see i f it would be OK to land there . I thought that perhaps it was limited to guests of the ranch . They will be glad to have you use tr~e field •• • in fact most everyone landing at 'ivickenburg uses it . �Dear Bentley: Cardson, Alta November 1) , 195 7 This is just about the first evening I have had f Bee sinoe arriving baok in Alberta, so will try to bring you up-to-date on a few miscell aneous mat t ers . CHECK AND ORDERS INCLOSED I finally got the forms made up whioh I will use for remit~anoes under the new system. I have started you a file folder on them, which is being mailed under separate cover in a large envelope . For security reasons I thought it would be best to send the check air- mail in this letter. W hen this arrives, it will explain the breakdown on the $ )00 check attached . ~ ,I .. ) I have another report started on additional business secured here in Alberta which I will hold up a few days until I pic~ up a couple of ohecks. ALBERTA MOTEL CONVENTION Ernie and I both feel that our representation at the Convention built a lot of good will for the 89 ' er • • We were quite dissappointed that you were unable to m ake it , because I am sure you would haTe enjoyed making some of the contacts . I had the opportunity to become very wel l acquainted with the Hon. Russel A. Patrick, Minister of Eoonomio Affai r • ••• so well in fact that he has started to call me by my fir s t name • • • also Ed . Bryant , the Advertising Manager of the Province whom you and I talked to at St . Mary . He asked to be remembered to you. Also made another good friend in the pers on of E.J . Madill, the new American Counsul who recently replaced Mr . Oakley ••• you probably also remember meeting Oakley at St . Mary . Most of the City Offioials , Chamber of Commerce offioials , and Motel operator. from Calgary , Red Deer , and Edmonton that I had previously oalled on were present and all seemed surprised , and greatly pleased that I had returned for the convention . We did ' nt talk any 89 ' er business except informally , since there was a very heavy agenda . The 89 t ers were, however given top billing by vi»tue of the fact that I was seated at the head table on all four of the "eating oooasions" along side of the Hon . Mr . Patriok , who was the bigge.t bra •• there which I am sure rai.ed our stock a few pOints on the Canadian market . In fact I could actually FEEL our prestige growing •• , you oan always sense this sort~ of thing, it ' s hard to explain ••• just litt~e things like people going out of their way to be intriduoed to you , e tc . So much for that . NEAR FDTDRE PLANS Ernie was of course very busy all week , as many ot the out or town delegate. stayed with him, and some remained an extra day after the Convent i on was over . W did, however , clean up a tew odds and ends e at Calgary, and pioked up .ome additional business • • I also got the * ) 00 deal from the Calgary Stampede Board on the move, and their agency i. forwarding the pioture and insertion order to me at Great Falls this week (so they promised). Mr . Ryerson Christy of Cards on was eleoted President of the Assn. to succeed Ernie, and he invited me to come to Cardson M onday evening the 11th to attend the Rotary lunoh Tuesday, and the C hamber meeting last night . Got $ 50 from t he Chamber la.t nite, and today the Mayor pr omi.ed at least anothe~ * 50 from the City of Cardson. �- - 2--The president of the Cards on Chamber called Waterton Lakes , and set up a meeting with the Waterton Chamber for tomor row night ( Thursday) . He plans to go over with me . These are the small communities , and we can ' t expect too much this late in Ek the season , as they all have the long winter ahead, but we are a t least building some good bridges an~ making friends and conneotions. So , Thursday at Waterton, and follow up perg aps on Friday, and then to Ft . Maoleod Friday evening and Saturday . Lethbridge probably over the week end , dOing ..xx what I can on Monday, and then baok into Montana . Tims will not permit much in the way of securing individual members in these smaller to\ms this trip ••• it wo ~ ld be a s l ow process since the winter is cloSing in on them , and the Arizona advertisements have started to appear in the papers . About the most I can expeot to accomplish is to get a XXIX._ finanoial grant ot some kind trom the Chambers , and oities wherever possible, and pi ok up the odd mambership here and ther a. If the tour this comming June is succeSSful , and I can arrange to remain for a few weeks and follOW up with a membership drive in all areas visited, I suspeot we can make a real killing . CAllELCADE NEXT JUNE this time you have probably reoeived the suggested line-up from Ernie . It is , you must admit, a very ambitions plan , and I sinoerely hope we can get good support trom all s1des to make it a success . Ernie has his heart set on it , and I fear that a failure would just about break his heart . He figures that the cost for the five days after entering Alberta, meals and l odgings inoluded , would probably not exceed around at $ 25 per hea4 ••• and I don ' t know where in hell anyone could get a 1200 mile . . . oonducted tour of the Canadian Rockies any cheaper , SO it really does have possibilities if we all get on the ball and promote hell out of it . By We composed quite a pointed letter to the Gr eat Falls Chamber of Commerce, more or less making it c ibear that the" volume partioipation" wOllld have to oome from Montana, and asking their pledge of all out support . Ernie sent it out on his stationery, a entioning in a oasual way his oonneotion with the Tourists Committee of the Calgary Chamber, all of which sort of putt Great Falls on the spot to do something about it ••• you recall , of course hearing Dick Fur~us tell how Great Falls does everything possible to oultivate Calgary , and Southern Alberta. I plan to give this tour a big initial plug in our December bulletin , and we must tigure out ways and means of sell ing it strong , to mambers and non members alike . It would be a very economical and worthwhile trip for anyone , and these Canadians will really rol l out the red carpet . NEW DIRECTORS How about these guys? In the event you have written me care of Ernie, he will forward it, and I will pick it up on Saturday at Lethbridge . We are a l l practically out of stationery , as the last printing was limited due to the expected change involving Burnett . Ernie want s to write a lot ot letters , and I am down to just a few s heets . In oase you have not already writ ten me on this, please try to get me the dope as soon as possible . �----2----BULLETIN I made the deal we talked about with the Call boys at the Star Valley Independent to ge,t out the printed bulletin tour times a year. Their price is lower ~ ~ I ever got in Salt ~ake. About $ 80 . 00 tor a thousand copies plus cost prioe ~n the ~ngravings used . They can buy these outs tor about one third the price we would have to pay otherwise . The $ 80 includes putting mas on the address lables • • • and they would mail them from Afton using a bul k rate permit . W would , of course have to pay the e postage . No envelopa would be required, which is a savings of about 2!¢ per bulletin. Would like to have pictures of our new directors for the De cember issue, which is another reason why we should be hearing from them at once . *********** Its almost midnight, and I still have several more letters to go, so will come to a dead stop right here . W ill try to write OFTENER , and not so much in the future . My next address will be " General Delivery". Gre at Falls . Will stop in Browning, Choteau Bab , -4Jlr.l ldQI I~ on the way down , expeoting to arrive In Great Falls about Thursday of next week . � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

As a community we support the project, contingent on UDOT meeting Farmington's essential needs listed as priority items 1 thru 4 on the attached "U.S. 89 Corridor Improvement Impacts" document. We are writing this letter to request your assistance in securing these four prerequisites as a condition of support of the project. We support the notion of drafting these prerequisites in the scope of the project to adequately define the negative impacts the U.S. 89 project creates on Farmington City. Included on the referenced list are other impacts of community concern. We believe that most of these items will be resolved during the E.I.S. and design process. However, items 2, 3, & 4 are not currently in the scope of the project and our priority #1 is of utmost concern. The City wants all of the items to be included in the review process of the project, but items 1 thru 4 should be prerequisite to funding. As you know, the Council and I are concerned that this project is constructed so that we maintain the economic viability of the -commercial zone located on U.S. 89 in north Farmington. Item No. 1 best addresses this concern. Intended improvements in harmony with proposed road Gross-sections would allow the community to maintain the at-grade intersection until the level of service dictates additional improvements. This community concern could be addressed by phasing of the project with this intersection completed in the last phase, or by delaying construction at this intersection until the commercial viability of the new development is not controlled by visibility and access criteria. �Congressman James V. Hansen September 11, 1992 Page 2 Your help in resolving items No. 1 thru 4 is appreciated. Inclusion of these items as outlined should not negatively impact our neighboring community, but will significantly improve the impact on Farmington. If the timing or phasing of the Shepard Lane intersection can be addressed by providing interim TSM improvements; all safety, traffic flow, and planning issues can still be provided by this project without local conflicts. If additional clarification would be helpful, please feel free to contact us. Successful resolution of these issues, without a destructive influence of this process, remains our goal. Your leadership and your efforts to provide the funding to date and in the future are appreciated. Robert W. Arbuckle Mayor RWA/EK/ml �FARMINGTON CITY IMPACTS u.S. 89 CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS 1. UDOT should be requested to allow the continued operation of the at-grade signalized intersection as the level of service (LOS), and capacity remain favorable. Interim TSM improvements, including additional lanes for high demand movements, should be programmed to assure an acceptable LOS for the next 10 to 20 years. If, in the future, UDOT desires to design and install a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI), the following elements should be considered: A. Safe pedestrian access from the west side of U.S. 89 across the SPUI to existing commercial and residential activities on the east side. B. Consider design alternatives producing the least associated impacts to abutting property including, but not limited to, minimizing the height of SPUI structure by some minimal lowering of Shepard Lane, alternate treatments and analysis of which road should actually be elevated, and noise mitigation strategies for elevated structures/highways. C. The northbound off-ramp at Shepard Lane should be provided with "stop" control for eastbound motorists proceeding past Knowlton Elementary School. 2. The City of Farmington is negatively impacted by improved development of U.S. 89 if the project development does not include improvements through the connection to I-IS. The intersections of the improved U.S. 89 and existing I-IS occurs at Burke Lane. The improved u.S. 89 will exacerbate the existing problems at this intersection. Re-establishment of Burke Lane with improvements to the intersection of the two major highways is necessary to mitigate the impact of this project and should be included in the proposed project scope instead of delaying this portion of the U.S. 89 improvements. Separation of community areas created by limited access highway construction could also be mitigated with this approach. 3. UDOT should carefully assess the drainage and wetland mitigation measures associated with the EIS process. The entire area from Farmington Junction to I-IS/Burke Lane should be included. The design mitigation alternatives analysis should include a detention/retention basin near the I-IS/Burke Lane interchange. (Small pockets of wetlands should be traded for one large enhanced wetland area.) �This will also resolve a past problem created by Federal Highway construction. 4. Noise abatement alternatives should be examined through the entire corridor from Farmington Junction to Burke Lane. U.S. 89 improvements combined with the increased traffic projected on this road system will significantly increase noise (above current allowable Federal regulated levels) in the northwest portion of Farmington. This area currently exceeds allowable levels due to the past construction of 1-15 without any noise abatement facilities, anticipated road elevation increases between Cherry Hill and Burke Lane will also increase this problem. Maintaining the commercial viability of this area would dictate that construction of sound walls through this area would not be acceptable to the community to mitigate noise pollution. Since a significant portion of the residential development in the community is sandwiched between 1-15 and U.S. 89 in this location, the increased noise level combined with the unacceptable levels generated by 1-15 would have a significant negative environmental impact on the existing homeowners. Mitigation of this problem could be accomplished by construction of sound walls along 1-15 to significantly decrease existing background noise. Farmington believes that this approach should be included in the proposed project scope. The negative visual impacts of this project could also be reduced with this approach. 5. Request that UDOT use aesthetic design and materials for retaining walls along on-off ramps at Shepard Lane. 6. UDOT should analyze and consider the elimination of the east frontage road from Fruit Heights to Farmington and route traffic to the west side frontage road, to avoid impacts to Main Street. 7. Request that UDOT consider mitigation of adverse impact to access from the Knowlton Elementary School on Shepard Lane. The impacts to be assessed include, but are not limited to, sidewalks, drop-off zones, circulation, and access. 8. Due to the adverse impacts to access of abutting property resulting from the proposed expressway design of U.S. 89, UDOT should complete the proposed frontage and access roads as shown in their alternative drawings. Specifically, however, the access road as illustrated in Alternative 2, Drawing No.2 (Attachment B), should be redesigned to extend southeastward and connect with Burke Lane to the south. 9. SR 272 should be widened and improved ~~th pedestrian facilities on the west side from Farmington Junction to Shepard Lane. �10. The northbound off-ramp at Shepard Lane should have stop control for eastbound motorists proceeding east past Knowlton Elementary School. 11. The alignment of 1875 North and SR 272 (Main Street) at Farmington Junction should be designed to establish a more direct route between the two east-west connections. Design alternatives for the interchange including impacts for Main Street over versus under options should be presented to Farmington City for review and comment. 12. UDOT should include provisions for pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian facilities compatible with Farmington's Master Plan at Farmington Junction and Shepard Lane. 13. UDOT should examine and provide for pedestrian access to the Smith's Shopping Center from the west side of u.S. 89 at Shepard Lane. 14. A second access from Main Street into the Smith's property as well as replacement parking should be provided to replace the lost driveway from u.S. 89 and any lost parking resulting from the widening and raising of u.S. 89. 15. Economic impacts resulting from loss of current access during construction and their mitigation should be addressed in the ElS. 16. UDOT's ElS should include any impacts resulting from placement of fill material near Shepard Lane on ground already having a high water table. � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

We do not understand why our alternative (August, 1987) has not been given more consideration. We simply do not feel comfortable with this approach; in fact, the approach at this point seems to be "backwards." We ask that the Forest Service carefully consider our comments as follows: General Comments (1) The overall process is becoming difficult to follow at this point. We really do not have a complete understanding of what is actually being proposed and how some of the newer proposals (such as moving Beaver Creek) will affect the Canyon's environment and scenic quality. We would like to see a specific list which could be shared for comment solicitation from the public. Perhaps, a new public scoping document/hearing needs to be prepared if the new highway modifications/alternatives will be seriously considered. It would be much easier to discuss the Canyon's future with a common document from the engineers; this document should be prepared before the "grand field trip" occurs. (2) The "grand field trip" should be held on a weekend so that it is not limited to elected officials and government staff. (3) We still want a complete and - correct EIS without 1 - p.o. box 3580 logan . ut 84321 �any gaps or factual errors. (4) Regarding curves and associated cutting/modifications, we believe that cutting curves will simply -increase speed. We cannot accept vague notions of "improved sight distance" or "driver comfort" with regard to the proposed modifications. Also, the proposed modifications should be clearly identified on the ground and maps; at this point, we only have the original CH2M Hill maps which you have indicated may be different from new alternatives proposed by the three government engineers. (5) The final disposition of any removed rubble from curve cutting and road realignment must still be identified and explained. Because of the costs associated with the hauling of rubble, it hard to believe that newly generated rubble would be removed to Cache Valley or Bear Lake Valley. We are afraid that UDOT would find some reason to "utilize" the rubble somewhere along the highway or maybe on state land. We have "Rubick's Pile" and UDOT's regular river filling to remind us of their past actions. This information must be included in detail, including the economic aspects and reality, in the EIS. (6) We still believe that proper signing, including reinstallation of the missing advisory signs, will be the most cost-effecti~and environmentally sound method to insure highway safety. s&lely (7) Visual quality must not beA considered -from the driver's perspective. The perspective of all canyon use~s must be carefully considered for each proposed modification, i.e. a site specific analysis should be done. Specific Comments (1) Curbs and gutter: We need more details on the type, size and location of the newly proposed curbs. Our concerns include (a) the possibility of drain gratings becoming bicycle traps, (b) the possibility of new river contamination from runoff, (c) increased maintenance activit:'y and problems, - (d) increased probability of this system to fail due to heavy precipitation or lack of maintenance. For example, the curbs and gutters in Logan have numerous problems despite regular city activities. Another example involves blacktop curbs in Capitol Reef National Park, where they are crumbling and breaking apart. If the proposed curbs and gutters do fail, they might suddenly be replaced by ahoveranxious maintenance staff at UDOT; this could result in something very undesireable. The bqttom line, however, is that we simply need much more detailed information on this proposal. We cannot resolve this issue by just talking about it. We need examples, drawings and maps, along with a discussion of the issues. - 2 - �(2) Dugway: We are still opposed to a climbing lane in the Dugway. A slow vehicle turnout below Lower Twin Bridge shou~d be considered as noted in our proposal. (3) Upper Twin Bridge: We believe that raising the roadbed will affect the river because of the added fill. (4) Logan Cave: How will pedestrians go from the proposed parking lot to the Cave? If the roadbed is raised, it should be done in such a way that it is moved away from the river's edge and the riparian habitat and vegetation is restored. (5) Temple Fork drawings. Parking: We need more information, including (6) Elk Point Bridges: We agree with the Forest Service that the proposed dual bridges for Elk Point are not needed, would damage the immediate environment, increase safety problems and affect wildlife, ' especially big game, who use the area in the winter. . . ~1!)"' j~ It )'; c I~e< . . . . (7) Increased Pavement Width at Tony Grove Basin: We are pleased that the 40 foot pavement width has been abandoned at this location. However, we are concerned about another "hodge podge" approach to the Canyon's highway. The highway's size through this portion of the Canyon should be as similar as possible to the highway in the Middle Canyon and Beaver Creek. We are afraid that _ varying the road size by as much as is proposed will convey a false impression that this is a high speed route. (8) Beaver Creek: We still do not understand what is being proposed for what locations. We really need maps and justifications. At this point, it appears to be an attempt to justify a significantly wider highway which may not be needed. (9) Multipurpose Turnouts: The current prpposals do not consider multipurpose turnouts. UDOT appears to be afraid of this idea, and we are not really sure why since they do work in other states. We have listed several possibilities in our proposal. (10) Upper Canyon Climbing Lanes: We need more information on the proposed sizes for the climbing lanes past Beaver Mountain. We could not support a full size standard highway with a climbing lane through these upper sections. We are also concerned about potential road cuts near Amazon Mine. (ll) Limber Pine Fill: We would like to see a fill map for this curve and identify the source of the material. - 3 - �Please 'understand that these comments cannot be complete '.\ since we do not have any specific document to look at. ~hanks for your - consi~~ra~iohs, /1,vnuA/J Steve Flint, Conservation Com Bridgerland Audubon Society 1~ r Tom Lyon, Board Member Utah Wilderness Association cc: Dale Bosworth Dick Pine Stan Tixier - 4 - � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

N. F. Sup., and his staff concerning the issues in Logan Cyn. We talked about the fact that the forest plan which highl ights the Logan Canyon as a managmeent area to be mainatined in the existijng condition should dictate the Forest Service position on the FHA and UDOT proposals to upgrade the canyon. In other words some alternatives whioch would not meet the constraints of the management area in the forest plan simply should be upfront discarded by the Forest Service because they are not consitent with the forest plan. We also impressed the staff with the impacts of any development proposals and the fact that the Forest Service is not being aggressive enough in the issue. seemed to 1 isten and genuinely be concerned about the imapcts and the concerns of failure in making the Forest Service aggressive. He was unwill ing to terminate at the top alternatives in the FHA d. EIS which are not consitent witht he forst plan. He argued through mitigation you may be able to solve soime issues. He would not interpret the plan as to what it meant. he kept saying different interp. of the plan eXIst. finally got mad and said damnit it's your plan what does it say--no answer but it had an impact. 80S.

We would like ' very much to meet with you on June 22, wh'e n you come to Logan to meet wi th your advisory commi ttee. We can arrange a meeting for the afternoon of that day, ina ' room on the USU campus. We would like to see your slides on the proposed alignment changes, and view your maps. We understand that the UDOT is not tnterested in public involvement at this stage; however, we believe that the question o-f whether an EAR or a EIS is performed, is a very crucial matter Dn which the public should be involved. We don't want to jump ' into 'this matter without complete information; therefore, could you possibly supply us with (1) copies of the slides referred to above; (2) copies of maps indicating the proposed alignment .1, changes; (3) statistics on traffic volume and accident rates in Logan Canyon; (4) any other pertinent information, such as cost• . per-mile estimates, contacts or agreements made between UDOT and ~ the Utah Division of Wildlife · Resources and the U.S. Forest ...--,--",;1 Service. Ideally, we would like to be brought completely up to date on the whole project. One of our major concerns is that the citi~en representative on your Logan advisory group is on record as favoring a realignment; thus we feel that for balance, UDOT ought to be aware that this person does not necessarily represent the populace of Cache Valley. . My phone numbers are (home) 752-6571; (office) 752-4100, ext. 7514. Please fe.el free to call. We are very much interested -in . making contact with the UDOT and in taking part in whatever happens in Logan Canyon. . ....., t Sincerely, t11",~1V7 J. ~~ Thomas J. ~on' -, cc: Citi~ens for the Protection of Logan Canydn , Governor Scott Matheson �-2There is an advisory committee to the UDOT, but it has apparently concurred in the Department's wishes. However, the only "citizen" member of the committee is Tod Weston, a Cache County developer who would be in favor of any sort of development, anywhere. Somehow, the Federal Highway Administration ought to be made aware that "citizens" --some of them--do oppose this highway project and are not being represented. If you think it · might do any good, I'll send along a copy of the safety study. Ifm a bit nervous about this project,- because three weeks ago, the UDOT announced that nothing would be done on Logan Canyon for at least a year. Then suddenly they called a meeting (Tuesday last; school was over Saturday) and according to the reporter who covered the meeting, the highway project is now full steam ahead. -I'm worried they wiJl try to get final approval, without an Environmental Impact Statement,while "nobody" is around to fight them. .best wishes, l-tr//f/\ Tom Lyon t . � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

H. BENNETT , DEAN J. Whitney Floyd, Dean College of Forest, Range and Wildlife Management Campus Dear Dean Floyd: I have read the statement on Road Construction and Resource Use prepared by your College Committee on Road Construction with considerable interest. This statement is well prepared and shows the results of considerable thought and effort. I commend the committee members for the thorough job that has been done. I have some reservations about recommendation five on page 12 which recommends that local community organizations be developed to consider all matters relating to resource use. In my opinion we are already overorganized and a lot of time is spent in trying to coordinate things, but coordination might be taken care of as a matter of course if things were on a simpler basis. I think we should work through the existing organizations and endeavor to create a greater awareness and consciousness of the importance of resource use. I also feel that recommendation number five is too broad and could lead to organizations giving consideration to many diverse and unrelated aspects of resource use. Perhaps the wording of recommendation five could be . modified to mention specific things in keeping with the title and content of the statement. Once again I desire to commend the committee for the thorough, excellent job that has been done. It certainly points out problems and conditions that are important enough to warrant the best planning that can be done. It is written in such a way that I think very few people could take exception to any part of it. Very truly yours, Dean WHB/cm p. s. The word "stronger" in the second sentence of the second paragraph (first complete paragraph) seems to be out of place. I am wondering if the word should be "weaker" rather than "stronger." � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

It is a generally accepted public, state, and federal agency view that the Logan River is a sensjtjve and valuable natural ~ource. This viewpoint has evo~ed over time and i~_derived 'from three se arate ers ectives : ~recreational value~ conomic yalueL an iolo ical value. The river can be examined from each of these perspectives in order to understand the value, sensitivity, and importance credited to it. RECREATIONAL VALUE .. The Logan River has been cl~ssified by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources as a a II - H' h Priorit Stream has been placed on this agency's Unique Stream List. These actions by the UDWR reflect the Logan River's unique fishery and aquatic habitat as well as the stream's ability to sustain high quality, wild populations of salmonids. At the present time the Logan River above the impoundments is managed as a wild trout fishery. A self-sustaining trout fishery has numerous and relatively narrow habitat requirements at various life stages; consequently, the fishery is sensitive to any degradation or alteration of water quality and stream morphology. Fishing pressure is also a key factor in maintaining a wild trout population, and angling must be managed appropriately. Throughout the state of Utah there are a limited number of stream miles classified as Class I or II fisheries. The Logan River is also unique in that it is both a high priority and an urban fishery. Nowhere else in Utah is a wild trout fishery located so close t Q _ rna J ~r metro olitan area. Cona sequently, the recreational value of the Logan River is substantial. �MEMORANDUM to Stan Nuffer Page 2 December 19, 1986 B21163.FO The intensive recreational use of Logan River is shown in Figure 1 as the estimated past, present, and future number of fishing days. The generally steady rise in fishing days reflects the population increase in Cache County and metropolitan Logan City over the last 35 years. In addition to the river's accessibility to a large number anglers, it serves as a Datural laborat9£Y for Utah State University. The Logan River is used to train students in fish and wildlife, hydrology, forestry, archaeology, geology, engineering, and environmental field techniques. Numerous studies, theses, and dissertations have been carried out using the river's environmental features. ~f ECONOMIC VALUE Although fishing pressure is heavy on Logan River, excellent catches have been made (such as brown trout weighing up to 36 pounds). The mystique of "big trout" combined with the opportunity to catch the bag limit make the Logan River a preferred fishery for anglers. As such, the river generates a substantial amount of spending by anglers and is a valuable economic asset both to the state of Utah and Cache Val ey~ Table 1 shows the past, present, and future amount of money spent annually to fish the Logan River. In 1970 the river become a million-dollar fishery. During the 40-year period shown in Table 1, over $68 million dollars will be spent by Logan River anglers. Based on the river's length of 30 miles, about $30,000 was expended in 1985 for each mile of stream.

The UDWR, from 1960 through 1980, annually stocked the Logan River with brown and rainbow trout. An average of 36,612 trout were stocked each year at an estimated investment of $732,000 (based on an average cost of $l/fish over 20 years). Additional investment value has been made by the UDWR and the Forest Service as labor and expenses for management and study programs. BIOLOGICAL VALUE The Logan River supports four salmonid species: brown trout, cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, and mountain whitefish. The relative abundance and distribution of these species varies by stream reach. In general, however, the river above Right Fork has a smaller brown trout and whitefish population with a larger cutthroat and rainbow population than does the area below. Table 2 shows some historical data that indicates the general quality and health of the Logan River fishery over time. From 1948 to 1982 the catch rate and total numbers of fish caught has remained remarkably similar. This also indicates that management efforts have been generally successful. �MEMORANDUM to Stan Nuffer Page 5 December 19, 1986 B21163.FO K-factors or coefficient of condition are a measure of fish health or condition. It is also a measure of energy transfer through trophic levels and K-factors ~ 1.0 for trout po ulations indicate that fish e ' ot_ sxres ed b y a lack f food base . In the case of Logan River, K-factors for three sizes of trout have remained relatively constant over a 20-year period. Taken as a whole, these data indicate stable and suitable habitat conditions. Table 2 Historical Logan River Fisheries Data Year Measure Catch Rate (fish/hr) Total Number Fish Caught K-Factors: 0-199 rom 200-275 rom 276-350 rom 1948 1952 1972 1982 0.61 0.60 30,850 32,012 1.83 1.73 1.64 1.82 1.50 1.59 Fundamentally, highly valuable features of trout habitat are the overhanging banks and the fish pools associated with streambanks and bank vegetation. A Logan River habitat inventory showed that in 1962 these conditions did exist along Logan River segments that have not had channel encroachment. Along river segments encroached up to 30 years ago, no valuable streambank-associated fish pools and cover were found. Following on-site encroachment impact 30 years ago, the substitution of "junk" pools for the valuable bank- and vegetation-associated pools and cover occurred. Today one of the major limiting factors in the physical environment is the lack of good quality pools. Table 3 shows the results of a Forest Service habitat study performed on Logan River in 1966. The percent of optimum habitat (based on pool, substrate, bank conditions, and other environmental factors) is shown in comparison to other, regional streams. Compared to other streams, the Logan River exhibits high biological value for a salmonid fishery. �MEMORANDUM to Stan Nuffer Page 6 December 19, 1986 B21163.FO Table 3 Comparison of Habitat (%) for Regional Trout Streams Stream Fish Creek Montpelier Creek Fifth Water Diamond Fork McCoy Creek Sixth Water Currant Creek Wolf Creek Rock Creek rk Duchesne West o an River (entire Taft Creek North Fork Duchesne Hades Creek State Average Width Percent of Optimum Habitat Wyoming Idaho Utah Utah Idaho Utah Utah Utah Utah Utah Utah Nevada Utah Utah 16 13 8 22 23 15 21 8 40 22 37 7 36 10 64 62 51 49 49 48 46 44 41 50 37 33 25 SUMMARY The data, information, and statements presented in this memorandum must be taken as general comments, subject to revision when a more detailed analysis is performed.

Be It enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America In Congress assembled, that, (a) this Act may be cited as the 'Wild and Scenic Rivers Act.' Congressional declaration of polley. (b) It Is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational , geologic, fish and wlldllle, historic, cultural, or other similar values, shall be preserved in freeflowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Congress declares that the established national policy of dam and other construction at appropriate sections of the rivers 01 the United States needs to be complemented by a policy that would preserve other selected rivers or sections thereof in their free-flowing condition to protect the water quality of such rivers and to full ill other vital national conservation purposes. Congressional declaration of purpose, (c) The purpose of this Act is to implement this policy by instituting a national wild and scenic rivers system, by designating the initial components of that system, and by prescribing the methods by which and standards according to which additional components may be added to the system from time to time. Composition of system; requirements for State-administered components_ SECTION 2. (a) The national wild and scenic rivers system shall comprise rivers (i) that are authorized for inclusion therein by Act of Congress, or (ii) that are designated as wild, scenic or recreational rivers by or pursuant to an act of the legislature of the State or States through which they flow, that are to be permanently administered as wild, scenic or recreational rivers by an agency or political subdivision of the State or States concerned, that are found by the Secretary of the Interior, upon application of the Governor of the State or the Governors of the States concerned, or a person or persons thereunto duly appOinted by him or them, to meet the criteria established in this Act and such criteria supplementary thereto as he may prescribe, and that are approved by him for inclusion in the system, including, upon application of the Governor of the State concerned, the Allagash Wilderness Waterway, Maine; that segment of the Wolf River, Wisconsin, which flows through Langlade County; and that segment of the New River in North Carolina extending from its confluence with Dog Creek downstream approximately 26.5 miles to the Virginia State line. Upon receipt of an application under clause (ii) of this subsection, the Secretary shall notify the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and publish such application In the Federal Register. Each river deSignated under clause (ii) shall be administered by the State or political subdivision thereof without expense to the United States other than for administration and management of federally owned lands. For purposes of the preceding sentence, amounts made available to any State or �political subdivision under the Land and Water Conservation [Fund] Act of 1965 or any other provision of law shall not be treated as an expense to the United States. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed to provide for the transfer to, or administration by, a State or local authority of any federally owned lands which are within the boundaries of any river included within the system under clause (ii). Cfassification. (b) A wild, scenic or recreational river area eligible to be included in the system is a free-flowing stream and the related adjacent land area that possesses one or more of the values referred to in Section 1, subsection (b) of this Act. Every wild, scenic or recreational river in its free-flowing condition, or upon restoration to this condition, shall be considered eligible for inclusion in the national wild and scenic rivers system and, if included, shall be classified. deSignated, and administered as one of the following: (1) Wild river areas -- Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments and generally inaccessible except by trail, with watersheds or shorelines essentially primitive and waters unpolluted. These represent vestiges of primitive America. (2) Scenic river areas -- Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments. with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads. (3) Recreational river areas -- Those rivers or sections of rivers that are readily accessible by road or railroad. that may have some development along their shorelines, and that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion In the past. Congressionally deSignated components. SECTION 3. (a) The following rivers and the land adjacent thereto are hereby deSignated as components of the national wild and scenic rivers system: (1) CLEARWATER, MIDDLE FORK, IDAHO. -- The Middle Fork from the town of Kooskia upstream to the town of Lowell; the Lochsa River from its junction with the Selway at Lowell forming the Middle Fork, upstream to the Powell Ranger Station; and the Selway River from Lowell upstream to Its origin; to be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture. (2) ELEVEN POINT, MISSOURI. -- The segment of the river extending downstream from Thomasville. to State Highway 142; to be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture.l a (3) FEATHER, CALIFORNIA. -- The entire Middle Fork downstream from the confluence of its tributary streams one kilometer south of Beckwourth, California; to be administered by the Secretary of Agriculture. (4) RIO GRANDE, NEW MEXICO. -- The segment extending from the Colorado State line downstream to the State Highway 96 crossing, and the lower four miles of the Red River; to be administered by the Secretary of the Interior. (5) ROGUE, OREGON. -- The segment of the river extending from the mouth of the Applegate River downstream to the Lobster Creek Bridge; to be administered by agencies of the Departments of the Interior or Agriculture as agreed upon by the Secretaries of said Departments or as directed by the President.

Throughout the Inventory, the Logan River and its significant tributaries 'NCre undervalued. An indication of the extent of undervaluing is Ihe Forest Services' revised evaluation that identified five outstandingly remarkable values that might be recognized for the Logan river and its significan tributaries. Wasatch-Cache Revision Planning Record Wild and Scenic Rivers Eligibility Evaluation, Supplement I, June 1994 (hereinafter "Supplement"). The current UDOT ROD (page 38) is based entirely on the superficial treatment of the original inventory. It is inconceivable that the Forest Plan could approve the uoor ROD until a full and complete reevaluation of wild and scenic eligibility for the Logan river and its significant tributaries is completed. The Forest Service ROD ignores inconsistency in there own repons. Even though the original Inventory found no segments of the Logan river and its significant tributaries to be outstandingly remarkable, the identificaiton of five likely to be outstandignly remarkable va1ues in th Supplement resulted in the conclusion that, "No changes were made based upon this reconsideration." (Supplement p. 1-9). How can such a substantial difference in potential eligibility be ignored? In order to protect management standards in the Forest Plan, a detailed stud y of the Logan river and its significant tributaries must be conducted and the criteria used in evaluation must be capable to withstand the scrutiny of all concerned publics. A further example of the lack of appreciation of the regional importance of the Logan river is the fact that the Oneida Narrows of the Bear river has been nominated for eligibility by the Bureau of Land Management. By any reasonable comparison, the Logan river and its significant tributaries far exceeds the Oneida Narrows section of the Bear river in wild and scenic values. Consideration of Potential WUd and Scenic Riyers in the Forest Planning Process Section 5(d) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Pub. L. No. 90-542, 16 U.S.C. §1271 III WI., requires all federal agenCies to consider potential national wild, scenic, ad recreational river areas in all planning for the use and development of water and related land resources. 16 U.S.c. §1276 (d). The planning respnnsibility imposed by §5(d) plainly requires the Forest Service to assess the values of potential Wild and Scenic Rivers on national forest lands during the preparation of land and resource management plans pursuant to the National Forest Management Ae~ 16 U.S.C. §1600 III WI· Section 1924 of the Forest Management Act recognizes the Forest Service's responsibility in tbis regard: "Consideration of potential wild and scenic rivers is an inherent part of the ongoing land and resource management planning process." Chapter 8 of the agency's Land and Resource Management Planning Handbook, set forth agency policy and planning requirements for integrating the evaluation of potential wild and scenic rivers into the National Forest Management Act (NFMA) planning process. Pursuant to these directions, consideration of potential �wild and scenic rivers in national forest plans follow a relatively straightforward procedure. Each forest plan should: (I) Determine whether eam river within the forest boundaries is eli&ible for inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System in accordance with the criteria set forth in Section I(b) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (Le.• whether the river is free flowing and possesses one or more "outstandingly remarkable" values); (2) Determine the appropriate classification ("wild", "scenic", or "recreational") for rivers found to be eligible; and (3) Either study eam eligible river in the plan itself to determine its suitability for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic River System or conduct such an evaluaion as a subsequent, separate river study. Forest Service Land and Resource Management Planning Handbook, Chapter 8, § 8.14 (hereinafter "Handbook Chapter 8"). While eligibility is a threshold determination which properly focuses only upon the statutory criteria, i&., whether a river is free-flowing and possesses ODe or more outstandingly remarkable values, evaluation of a river's suitability for inclusion in the national rivers system involves a balancing of the relative values of the river and its adjoining lands as a part of the national rivers system against other uses for the river area, and practical considerations of the feasibility of administration of the river corridor as a component of the system. Handbook Chapter 8, § 8.23. As a substantive decision regarding the appropriate management of a sensitive area, the planners' decision regarding suitability must be accompanied by environmental analysis pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act. Ill.. § 8.31. During the study process, the values and potential classifications of eligible rivers must be protected by detailed management standards in the forest plan. Rivers determined to be suitable for designation are to be protected until Congress acts upon the Forest Service's recommendations. ld... The Forest Service ROD violates the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and Forest Service administrative direction for compliance with that Act. The Wasatch-Cache Planners erred in certain findings of NonEli&ibility of the Logan River from Lower Twin Bridge to Beaver Creek and from Beaver Creek to its source for potential Wild and Scenic Status Section 5 (d) of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act establishes a broad mandate to federal agencies to consider potential wild and scenic rivers in their land and resource management planning. Forest Service administrative direction implementing that proviSion makes clear that forest planners should consider all streams on a forest. Chapter 8 of the R)[est Service Land and Resource Handbook directs that forest planners consider rivers identified through Congressional or Secretarial action, through listing on the National Park Service's Nationwide Rivers Inventory ('''NRr'). or through the land management planning process itself. Handbook Chapter 8, §§ 8.11. 8.14. The Handbook stresses that consideration of rivers other than those listed on the NRI is "particularly important" where the NRI is incomplete, and that consideration should be given to rivers identified in other studies, such as the Pacific Northwest Rivers Study, in State river assessments, or by other federal or State agencies or private interests. !d.., § 8.11. The Wasatch-Cache planners complied with the broad mandate of section 5 (d) and Forest Service administrative policy and took an independent look at streams nowing on the Forest, including the Logan River and Beaver Creek. The resulting document, "Inventory of Rivers on the Wasatch-Cache National Forest Eligible for Inclusion in the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System" was published in November 1993 (bere- �inafter "Inventory 1993"). Appellants are concerned that initially, only .one. stream on the entire Wasatch-Cache National Forest, (the Stillwater Fork of the Bear River), was found to be eligible for interim protection until a suitability study was performed. Appellants were involved with studying the Logan River and Beaver Creek, using the eligibility requirements from the Land and Resouoce Management Planning Handbook. Even though over 50 pages of information was provided to the Inventory Team, no reference was made to this material in the Inventory except a footnote. (Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon. 1993). The appellants found that certain segments of the Logan River might possess the free-flowing characteristics and outstandingly remarkable qualities for eligibility if the evaluation was corrected to use current evaluation techniques. These techniques were detailed in two letters to the Forest Supervisor. (J. Logan, in a 3 page, single-spaced letter to Ms. Susan Giannettino, Forest Supervisor; 18 January 1994: Also D Parkin, in a 23 page. single-spaced letter to Ms. Susan Giannettino; 18 February 1994). The letters concurred thm the inventory used an honest and systematic approach in preparing the report, However. the main thrusts of these letters was that there were "significant flaws in both the methodology and interpretation of policy guidelines" (Parkin, 1994). At a later dae (June, 1994) the Logan River was re-segmented in two segments, Lower Twin Bridge to Beaver Creek and Beaver Creek to its source. The segment from Lower Twin Bridge to Beaver creek was given five out of nine "might possess outstandingly remarkable values". Neither of the above-mentioned commentors were aware of this document, however, both are mentioned in the document. The responsiveness of the planners to the commentors is reflected in this updated inventory. Eighty-two rivers andlor river segments were identified in the re-evaluation and the only river segment that scores anywhere near what this segment of the Logan river is the East Fork of the Smith's Fork, which scored only three "might possess outstandingly remarkable values". (Supplement to Inventory, 1994). The supplement represents an improvement over the Inventory of 1993 . Appellants are concerned, however, that the planning team did not assess all resource values that would qualify the Logan River for inclusion as an eligible wild and scenic river. Most notably. there is ample evidence to indicate that the Logan River possesses outstandingly remarkable water oriented recreation, botanical, and wildlife values. (CPLC, 1993). The appellants are also concerned that the supplement does not evaluate significant tributaries of the Logan River, most notably Beaver Creek. Study and protection of tributary streams is an important component of the wild and scenic planning process because such streams and creeks are integral components of river systems. The goals of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act can be best achieved through preservation and recognition of river systems as integral wholes, with full recognition for the contribution of tributary steams. Also, management of suc h tributaries as wild and scenic rivers will enhance the r"Orest Service's ability to maintain and enhance downstream riverine values. Tbe Forest Service ROD Fails AdeQuately to Protect The Loean River's Potential Wjld and Scenic Status The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act provides tha each component of the system shall be "administered in such a manner as to protect and enhance the values which caused it 10 be included in said system ... " Section 100a); 16 U.S.C. § 128I (a). This section of the Act bas been interpreted as stating a " nondegradation and enhancement policy for all designated river areas." S-". Interagency Guidelines,47 Fed. Reg . 39454, 39458. Appellants are concerned that the Logan River segmenl which "may possess outstandingly remarkable values" as indicated in the Supplement to the Inventory will be exposed to inappropriate levels of disturbance by UDal's Preferred Alternative Highway Project due to improper classification. The UDOT ROD states that ..... the road reconstruction project will not affect the potential eligibility or classification on the Logan River" �(p. 38). As stated above, the Logan River segment from Lower Twin Bridge to Beaver Creek is most likely eligible and therefore, until an adequate classification is complete, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act mandates no degradation of values that could inhibit the river from eligibility. The UDOT ROD states on Page 37. "The FEIS also evaluated the effects of the alternatives on the resources and characteristics affecting the scenic. historic. recreation, wildlife and fish. cultural and other values associated with the river and river corridor... there will be either no or only minor effects from the Preferred Alternative on these values." The uoor ROD states on Page 38, "The FEIS recognizes that some screening vegetation along the river may be disturbed, but again this is estimated in the EIS to be minor and mostly temporary in nature." Appellants believe that there are numerous construction segments in the Preferred Alternative that will result in significant depreciation of wild and scenic values and will in fact jeopardize the potential classification of the Logan River and Beaver Creek. These will cause enough degradation to the eligibility requirements that the river will be dropped from consideration before it has been honestly evaluated for eligibility. Appellants are concerned that these "minor effects" will be enough to degrade the eligibility requirements and disqualify the river. These include: Scenic yalues 1. The appellants are concerned that the Preferred Alternative will not comply with the Visual Quality Objectives established in the Forest Plan. If this is the case, then the classification of the Logan River will also not meet the outstandingly remarkable scenic values needed to qualify the Logan River. 2. Tbe "Dugway" will be excavated eight feet into the uphill side, creating the potential for a large road cut or retaining wall. Up canyon from the dugway, the curve will be flattened and realignment will start here for the replacement of the upper twin bridge, producing another large road cut. 3. The curve flattening and widening of the road at Temple Fork will produce a large road cut. 4. The eight miles of the Upper Canyon (from mp 391.6 to Beaver Mountain road intersection) will be widened to 34 feet and areas with passing lanes (could be up to two miles in length) will be widened to 44 feet. These construction segments will produce large amounts of cut and fill and a large road base. further degrading the scenic value. Other Impacts I. Bridge rip-rap. Extensive rip-rap (FS ROD p. 7 and p. 9) "could total as mucb as 1,000 feet of the river's length ..... This will depreciate the free-flowing nature of the river and will adversely impact the potential for eligibility in tbe Wild and Scenic program. 2. Wet-lands mitigation. Wet-lands otitigation, in general, is a farce (Scieoce, 1993, 206: 1890-1892.) It hasn' t 'WOrked in the past and there is no reason to expect it will work now . Any activities that call for wetlands mitigation activities will JesuIt in the depreciation of wild and scenic values of the Logan river, and should, therefore. be found in violation of the Forest Plan. The Forest Plan does not specifically deal with this issue and should be amended to do so. 3. General cut-and-fill that will be required to widen the road. In the original Inventory, restriction of �the potential free-flowing nature of the Logan river was used as justification of finding the lower section of the river to be ineligible (Inventory, p. 12-13). How is it possible that the Forest Plan could allow the same activites on the upper section of the Logan river tha led to disqualification of the lower section? Such action inconsistent with both the intent and the Jetter of Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, and the Forest Service's own Planning Handbook. The Forest Service Failed to AdeQuately Involve Concerned Publics in the Inventory Process. Although Logan Canyon is of high local and national interest, the original Inventory received a very limited distribution. (Audubon, NovemberlDecember 1994). Even so, of those interested parties who responded, the overwhelming majority were critical of the Inventory. Of those that responded, none were notified of the subsequent reevaluation or the changes incorporated in the Table of Appendix D, June 1994 Supplement. The Forest Service has not porvided sufficient documentation required for concerned publics to evaluate the criteria used to draw conclusions in the Inventory. The Inventory refers to "detailed field surveys" (Inventory, pp. A-19 1993), and the Supplement references, "documenlation used to facilitate judging the merits of further study have been incorporated in this supplement.. ... (Supplement. pp 1-10). Yet when appellants requested access to this "documentation", all that was forthcoming were copies of maps with largely unintelligible notations. Apparently. there exists no documentation that can be reviewed by concerned publics. It is irresponisble for the Forst Service to agree to AllY depreciation of wild and scenic values without full involvement of concerned publics. �Literature Cited Bass, R. 1994. Keeping Logan Canyon.

L Working for the T I protection of I Logan o Canyon This is reprinted from our AURUSt 1996 issue of Can.';an Wind b.y Drew Parkin. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act requires federal land management agencies to include wild and scenic river evaluations as part of their normal decision-making processes. In the case of the Forest Service this means that forest plans must specifically consider wild and scenic river eligibility. It also means that any Environmental Impact Statement that involves river resources must address this issue. Further - and this is the important part - once the Forest Service identifies a river as being eligible, it must, in adherence with its own administrative directives, manage the river "in a marmer consistent with the purposes of the Act, and such that the outstandingly remarkable values which make it eligible for inclusion are not diminished to the point where eligibility is negated. In no event should the free-flowing characteristics of the river be modified."In response to a threatened law suit, the Forest Service some ten years ago set out in earnest to identify potentially eligible wild and scenic rivers. Individual forests were entrusted with this and many responded admirably. Unfortunately, wild and scenic evaluations have never been high on the list for forest managers in Utah. Pressured by concerened citizens, the Wasatch-Cache National Forest undertook a year-long river study and, in November of 1993, released its inventory. The Inventory started by identifying 37 streams that forest planners deemed worthy of being studied. Next, the larger streams on that list, including the Logan River, were subdivided into "segments." In all, the Forest Service study considered 59 stream segments. Of these, 18 segments were rejected out-of-hand as being insignificant. Beaver Creek was one of these. An additional 11 segments were rejected for not being free-flowing. These included streams that had been subjected to water withdrawals, channelization, or other degradation. All of the Logan downstream of Temple Fork was rejected for this reason. This left 30 stream segments that were actually included in the study. The inventory considered nine separate resource features: cultural, wildlife, botanical, geological / hydrological, scenery, water recreation, general recreation, fisheries, and ecological. The idea was to determine the significance of each of the 30 segments with regard to each resource feature. A stream could be rated as either (1) typical, (2) significant at a statewide USU Box .1674 • L 0 8 a n • U t • h • 843 2 2 - 0 1 9 9 �level, or (3) significant at what the Forest Service termed a "provincial" level (an area compris-ing all of the Rocky Mountains). A rating of 3 for any given resource feature would qualify a stream segment for wild and scenic river designation. The result? Of the original 59 stream segments, only one - the Stillwater Fork of the Bear- was found eligible based on a "3" rating for its scenic features. No other stream received a 3 and all were therefore rejected, including the Logan River. I was stunned when I heard of the findings. Based on several years of professional experience with wild and scenic rivers, and having a detailed knowledge of the Logan River, it was my judgement that the Logan River not only met but exceeded eligibility requirements. After pouring over the report, I concluded that the study team's basic asswnptions were wrong and applying these asswnptions greatly skewed the findings. The decision to use "provincial" significance as the cut-off for eligibility was the most pervasive error. The Forest Service Manuel itself directs that "statewide" significance is an appropriate measure for judging wild and scenic status. Several national forests have used it as the basis for their decisions, and it is accepted practice for National Park Service and BLM planners as well. Had the Wasatch-Cache report used statewide significance as the threshold, the Logan River would have been included easily. If anything, I believe that the above Forest Service ratings for the Logan River are low. I question the ratings for wildlife, water recreation, and, especially, scenery. Even if the Forest Service ratings are correct, it is obvious the Logan River is an extremely important resource with statewide significance. In five of the nine resource categories, the river received a statewide significance rating. No other stream had more than two. The Logan River was rated as the most significant stream in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest for five of the nine resource categories. Again, no other stream could claim more than two. The conclusion is inescapable. The Forest Service report absolutely confirms that, when compared to other streams on the forest, the Logan River is the crown jewel and is most certainly eligible for wild and scenic designation.

While the designation will not affect the regulations nor the current use of the river by sportsmen of all types. we believe that it would be an important step in protecting the river against further private and commercial development which would harm the river and its riparian habitat. We firmly believe that this river. one of the finest cold water fisheries in the state of Utah, needs to be protected and preserved for future generations to enjoy. Regardless of the different purposes for which this beautiful river is used, the Wild and Scenic designation would be a great step in preserving what is left of Logan River's natural water ways and make them available for all sportsmen now and in the future .

WALKER CREEK DECLARATION Founding Statement of LIVING RIVERS The International Coalition for the Restoration of Aivers and Communities Affected by Dams 25 July, 1998 WHEREAS: Free-flowing, living rivers are an essential, life-giving feature of our natural and human environment. They fulfil a multitude of ecological, economic, spiritual, cultural, and aesthetic needs and wants. Worldwide, these invaluable rivers are now degraded by hundreds of thousands of dams, which have flooded huge areas of the world's most beautiful and ecologically rich habitats and the homes and lands of tens of millions of people. Dams have impoverished countless communities which were dependent on the bounty of free-flowing rivers and riverside lands, and endangered public health. Dams have blocked flows of nutrients and sediments and the passage of fish and other aquatic lifeforms. Dams have contaminated river water. Dams have eliminated essential natural flooding regimes thereby degrading the ecosystems, farmlands and fisheries which depend on floods . And dams have caused the decline and extinction of riverine species and the ecological degradation of estuaries and coastlines. Many dams provide services for society, including the generation of electricity, the storage and diversion of water, flood protection, navigation and flat-water recreation. But we now know that these services come at a high economic, ecological and social cost and often can be met in other less damaging ways. We also have learned that costs and benefits of dams are unequally shared - those who reap the rewards are rarely those who must bear the costs. After decades of experience, we now know that the promised benefits of many dam projects have never been realized, and their adverse effects are more serious than predicted. Trying to recreate artificially the complex natural cycles and functions of undammed rivers has proven to be far more difficult than was once thought. Efforts to mitigate the adverse effects of dams have often proven expensive and ineffective. �The knowledge learned over the past decades has led to the continuing improvement of standards for planning. designing. and operating dams. This has included social and environmental impact assessments, access to Information. public participation in decision-making. and periodic re-evaluation of a dam's impacts and operations. Many existing dams would never have been built if they had had to comply with current bestpractice planning principles. procedures and standards. Some are illega l because they were constructed in violation of existing laws. or because required environmental mitigation and social compensation measures were never implemented. Many dams are now obsolete. Many have reached the end of their functional life span and no longer serve a purpose that justifies their negative impacts. Many are unsafe. threatening the lives of millions of peopl e. as well as property, fish and wildlife. For many dams the cost of maintenance and of environmental and social mitigation exceeds the benefits to be gained from dam operation. The cost of removing dams Is In many cases proving less than the cost of continuing to operate them. even without taking full account of the social and ecological benefits of dam removal. A movement Is now growing around the world which recognizes the vital importance of living rivers. People are calling for major changes in the operating patterns of dams to lessen their negative impacts, the decommissioning and removal of obsolete and dangerous dams. the restoration of rivers and the provision of reparations for past damages suffered by riverine communities affected by dams. THEREFORE: We now establish Living Rivers. an international coalition for the restoration of rivers and communities affected by dams, by means of dam reoperation, decommiss ioning or removal. Independent and transparent evaluations must be carried out periodically to identify which dams should continue in operation. which should have their operations altered to mitigate adverse impacts. and which should be decommissioned or removed. The continued existence and operation of individual dams must be justified on the grounds of ecological and social impacts. economics and safety. Decommissioning plans must be prepared for all dams. whether existing. planned or under construction. These plans should Include dam removal and river, reservoir zone and floodplain restoration. The plans should also include mechanisms for raising the funds needed to pay for decommissioning. Dam owners and the beneficiaries of dams must be held responsible for the costs of mitigating the impacts of their continuing operation. of reparations for past damages, and where relevant of decommissioning or removing the dams. Funding mechanisms must be established to pay for decommissioning abandoned dams or for dams where the owner has insufficient financial resources. International agencies which have financed dams should share the responsibility for thei r decommissioning or removal. Rigorous dam safety standards must be developed and enforced. including the preparation and pub lication of flood inundation maps and emergency evacuation plans. and the purchase of liability insurance. The safety records of dams must be made public. The costs of implementing improved dam safety standards should be borne by dam owners and beneficiaries and, where relevant, international funding agencies. Scientific. engineering and sociological research and education on dam decommissioning must be promoted by governments and dam agencies. Watershed management and energy plans must be developed In a participatory and transparent manner. Watershed management plans should integrate sustainable agriculture and fisheries, urban planning, flood management, water supply and environmental restoration. Regional energy services plans should incorporate demand-side management and the most environmentally benign and cost-effective forms of generation. �Dams have had huge negative Impacts on rivers and river communities ~ removing dams Is an economically, technically, socially and environmentally viable and sensible option for reversing these impacts and restoring living rivers.

To lend balance to our history of use and abuse of our waterways, Congress created the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System. In October of 1968, the freshly penned Wild and Scenic Rivers Act pronounced, It is hereby declared to be the policy of the United States that certain selected rivers of the Nation which, with their immediate environments, possess outstandingly remarkable scenic, recreational, geologic, fish and wildlife, historic, cultural or other similar values, shall be preserved in free-flowing condition, and that they and their immediate environments shall be protected for the benefit and enjoyment of present and future generations. The Congress declares that the established national policy of dams and other construction at appropriate sections of the rivers of the United States needs to be complemented by a policy that would preserve other selected rivers or sections thereof in their free-flowing condition to protect the water quality of such rivers and to fulfill other vital national conservation purposes. - ---- While ! sometimes criticized as not reaching its full potential, there is little d ~bt that when applied, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act has usually peen a JOlI,sing su<;~, helping to prot some of this nation's ath, Manistee and premiere riveri.

Great rivers IT om our past, guaranteed to be great rivers in our future. But designation as a wild and scenic river is not designation as a national park. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act does not generally lock up a river like a wilderness designation. The idea is not to halt development and use of a river; instead, the goal is to preserve the character of a river. Uses compatible with the management goals of a particular river are allowed, change is expected to happen. Development not damaging to the outstanding resources of a designated river, or curtailing its free flow, are usually allowed. The term "living landscape" has been frequently applied to wild and scenic rivers. Of course, each river designation is different, and each management plan is unique. But the bottom line is that the Wild and Scenic Rivers System is not something to be feared by landowners or sportsmen _ .;.. As you <!'!!l1.h t guess, a large per~enta~ nd-sceni rivers flow through the PacifiC-Northwest. Oregon's spectacular Klamath I ~ nd - 1- �its incredible abundance of wildlife -- was recently added to the Wild and Scenic Rivers System following a 15-year battle over the proposed Salt Caves Hydroelectric Project. The last section of the Columbia River in Washington not lying behind federal and private dams is being considered for designation. (Curiously enough, this reach is eligible because it has lain protected within the Hanford Nuclear Reservation, the site of Cold War atomic bomb production.) The Wallowa River in northeastern Oregon was recently designated as a wild and scenic river by Interior Secretary Bruce Babbitt, becoming part of one of the most c ompletely protected river systems in the country. And the closing of the 104 th Congress saw the addition of Elkhorn Creek in Oregon to the list of protected Northwest rivers. (The Lamprey River in New Hampshire and the Clarion River in Pennsylvania were also designated in the closing days of the 104th Congress.) And, hopefully, others will follow. Whether the Wild and Scenic Rivers System grows or not, there are many rivers already protected for you to enjoy. Grab a flyrod, load the kayak on the car, slip on your most comfortable walking shoes. Get out there and savor your natural heritage. But go slow, and enjoy every minute of your trip to the river.

Background and Authorizations Section 5.(d) of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (16 U.S.C. 1271-1287) requires that "In all planning for the use and development of water and related land resources, consideration shall be given by all Federal agencies Involved to potential national wild, scenic, and recreational river areas.· It further requires that -, .. the Secretary of the Interior shall make specific studies and Investigations to determine which additional wild, scenic, and recreational river areas .. . shall be evaluated in planning reports by all Federal agencies as potential alternative uses of water and related land resources Involved." The Nationwide Rivers Inventory - In partial fulfillment of the Section 5(d) requirements, the National Park Service has compiled and maintains a Nationwide Rivers Inventory (NRI), a register of river segments that potentially qualify as national wild, scenic, or recreational river areas. The NAI qualifies as a comprehensive plan under Section 10(a)(2)(A) of the Federal Power Act. Presidential Directive - A presidential directive requires each Federal agency, as part of its normal planning and environmental review processes, take care to avoid or mitigate adverse effects on rivers Identified in the Nationwide Rivers Inventory compiled by NPS. Further, all agencies are required to consult with the National Park Service prior to taking actions which could effectively foreclose wild, scenic, or recreational status for rivers on the inventory. Stalewide River Assessments and Inventories - Pursuant to Section 11 of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, NPS has been providing technical assistance to states in the conduct of statewide river assessments and inventories. These efforts provide a source for potential future additions to Ihe Nationwide Rivers Inventory and the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System especially as State administered components. Public Law 88-29 - Outdoor Recreation Act of 1963 authorizes the Secretary of Interior to prepare and maintain a continuing Inventory and evaluation of outdoor recreation needs and resources including rivers ; provide technical assistance; encourage interstate and regional cooperation in the planning, acquisition, and development of outdoor recreation resources; sponsor and engage In research and education; cooperate with and provide technical assistance to Federal departments and agencies; and promote coordination of Federal plans and activities generally relating to outdoor recreation resources including rivers and associated trail corridors. These responsibilities are also assigned to the National Center for Recreation and Conservation of the National Park Service. �II. Initial Listing and Updates of the NRI The original inventory was conducted to by the Department of Interior with the cooperation of State and local agencies, and completed in 1982. To be listed, river segments had to meet three basic criteria: be free flowing (and generally be 25 miles or longer) be relatively undeveloped (both river and corridor) possess outstanding natural and/or cultural values A major update of the NRI was initiated in 1993. The first phase completed in December, consisted of adding the river segments found to have outstanding wild, scenic. or recreation potential by the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the National Park Service in accordance with 5(d) of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers Act. There is no minimum length specified by this section of the Act. River segments are classified according to extent of development as follows: Wild: Those rivers or sections of rivers that Bre free of impoundments and generally inaccessible except by trail, with watersheds or shorelines essentially primitive and waters unpolluted. These represent vestiges of primitive America. Scenic: Those rivers or sections of rivers that are free of impoundments, with shorelines or watersheds still largely primitive and shorelines largely undeveloped, but accessible in places by roads . Recreational: Those rivers or sections of rivers that are readily accessible by road or railroad. that may have some development along their shorelines, and that may have undergone some impoundment or diversion in the past. The second phase of the NRI update, initiated in 1994, added river segments found eligible through statewide river assessments and inventories. GIS and watershed referencing for all NRI segments will complete the update. �III.

We raised three sons in Logan, and Logan will always be our hearts' country. We absorbed Cache Valley. The silhouette of the mountains, east up the canyon and west across the valley, is still the horizon line of our life. I wouldn't mention this background if I didn't think a great many people share such feelings. Few things go as deep as the sense of home. Unfortunately, sometimes the deepest values get taken for granted. We're all very busy. We can even forget to think about the absolute beauty and purity of Logan River, coming down the canyon and through the town. Surely there can't be many towns anywhere in the world that can say: a wild, clean river comes down out of the mountains to us; there is no one, no town, upstream. I think about Logan River a lot these days. Our iririgation and drinking water here in coastal California is sparse, it comes a long way, and it has been used several times. There is no way, with all the engineering capability in the world, we could create the kind of situation Logan has. So, speaking from deep care for Logan and from the knowledge of how easy it is to lose natural resources, and how hard if not impossible it is to get them back, I respectfully urge the Council to endorse Logan River as a Wild and Scenic River. Logan River is lifeblood. Please protect it. Sincerely, fl.t ifWt "-' 1-' " Thomas J.

The Logan River is a Iynchpin in the history, culture and ecosystem of Cache Valley and the Bear River Range. It is an historical artery of commerce, source of culinary water for Logan City, recreational refuge for land and water users, habitat for many species of migrant and yearround animals, and a source of beauty and wonder in every season. Designating it as " Scenic" should not compromise any of these attributes, but rather help to preserve its value to this and future gene'rations. It would be an honor to have the Logan River designated as the first " Wild and Scenic River" in Utah . There is nothing to lose, and everything to gain in such a designation . Please keep us apprised of the status of the project, and include our support in your efforts to achieve this designation. \1" '::'IY, ~jf=f?'~ t:O). 1:1 _ PrinhKI 01'1 ...... �What is the Wild & Scenic Rivers Act? The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 1968 is unique among environmental laws in the world because of its potential to protect free-flowing rivers and river-sections in their condition at the time of designation. Unfortunately, the potential of this Act still has not been tapped. Less than I percent of the nation's total river miles have been included in the Nation's Wild and Scenic Rivers System. NOT ONE of Utah's beautiful rivers has this outstanding distinction. What Does Designation 001 • offers three levels of protection- Wild. Scenic, and Recreational, which correspond to existing development and the extraordinary values of the river. • provides blanket protection against federally licensed dams, diversion, and other on-river development which cannot be overridden by a FERC hydropower license. • provides flexibility in working with local landowners to protect the designated river's riparian corridor through the creation of a management plan. • will actually increase the market value of surrounding private property. • maintains the conditions existing at the time of designation, including local lifestyles and land uses within the river corridor. • will not stop highway improvements. Although, the Utah Department of Transportation will have to respect Logan River's outstandingly remarkable values and can't change the rivers character. • Designation as a Wild and Scenic River is not deSignation like a national park. The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act does not lock up a river like a wilderness designation. The idea is not to halt development and use of a river; instead, the goal is to preserve the character of a river. Uses compatible with the management goals of a particular river are allowed, change is expected to happen. Development not damaging to the outstanding resources of a designated river, or curtailing its free flow, are allowed. The term "living landscape' has been frequently applied to wild and scenic rivers. Of course, each river designation is different, and each management plan is unique. But the bottom line is that the Wild and Scenic Rivers System is not something to be feared by landowners, water users or sportsmen.

Lee is devoted to protecting logan Canyon. logan River and its eco·systems. Currently. lee's efforts are directed towards protecting the logan RiYer from excessive development from its proximity to a nearby highway and a proposed land swap that will create state and private lands above the river. Lee Is running a campaign to have a portion of the Logan River deSignated as Utah's first Wild and Scenic River. In May, 1998 the Forest Service and other environmental experts gathered to expound on the overwhelming data that argues in favor of deSignation. LCC will direct Its resources through community outreach and initializing several campaigns toward Wild and Scenic designation.

Thanks to the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, many of our nation's most outstanding free-flow- ing rivers are protected from dams and inappropriate development. The Act. signed in 1968, protects rivers with remarkable scenic. recreational. geological. fish and wildlife. historic, cultural. or other similar values. To date, segments of 154 rivers have been designated . cov- ering nearly 10,764 miles. Not one of Utah's beautiful rivers has this outstanding distinction. The logan River was passed by during the first two rounds of Wild and Scenic recommendation by the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. But as a result of public pressure, the Forest Service is currently conducting a third inventory of Wasatch-Cache National Forest rivers Including the Logan. The Logan River and its watershed is a critical resource of recreation, economic stability, and most importantly, a source of culinary water for Logan and Cache Valley residents. A Wild and Scenic designation would not encroach upon existing uses of the river. but would provide long-term protection for this precious resource. "We (LCC) want to leave a true legacy," said Dan Miller. LCC President. "We are seeking to have the Logan River designated as Utah's first Wild and Scenic River.

Many communities along Wild and Scenic rivers benefit from an Increase in land values that accompany a Wild and Scenic river designation. While the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act has had great success, much work still remains. According to the National Park Service's Nationwide Rivers Inventory, more than 60.000 miles of rivers qualify for inclusion in the Wild and Scenic Rivers System. American Rivers, the nation's leading river conservation organization, is working to stem the extinction of our most outstanding rivers and bring more rivers into the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

A recent land exchange with the State of Utah in the upper reaches of the river have made most of the lands through with it flows pan of the National Forest system, although about 1 mile still flows through private lands. Bio/physica l setting - The segment of the Logan River is a relatively small up river portion of the stream where the river is natural in character and has few highway and road encroadunents and crossings., The stream flow is perennial; however during low flow periods a portion of the stream can go underground for about 100 to 200 yards. Elevations ranges along the stream from about 7,500 feet at the state line to about 6400 feet at Beaver Creek. In the upper reaches of the segment the somewhat confined channel is character· ized by poo!·riffie·run and it runs through a broad open valley. Adjacent uplands are primarily dominated by aspen and sagebrush communities and some conifer communities. Subalpine fir is succeeding aspen communities in some areas. Riparian communities are characterized by thinleaf alder and various willows. Dispersed recreation impacts are common along the upper poslion of the ri\·er segment, resulting in soil compaction, loss of some woody vegetation, and the presence of some introduced herbaceous species. No threatened. endangered, or sensitive plants occur along this segment of the Logan River. Fish species present include rainbow trout, pure strain Bonnevill e cutthroat trout (a sensitive species), brook trout, and brown trout. The Bonneville cutthroat population here is pan of a larger metapopulation of the species that occupies the Logan River basin and tributaries, and is considered to be critical to the overall preservation of the species. The State of Utah rates the fishery here as a Class II, unique. No endangered or threatened mammals exist on this segment.

V-55 �SEGMENT t 39.1 Logan River : Con fluence wit h Beaver C r eek to Third Dam - 20 miles POTENTIAL O UTSTANDING LY REMARKABLE VALUES Scenic, Recreation, Geo logical, Fish, Ecological DESC RIPT ION General - This segment of Logan Ri ver, from the confluence with Beaver Creek to Third Dam is about 19 mil es long. It is located on the Logan Ranger Distri ct in Cache County, Utah. This segment is managed entirely by the Forest Service. Bio/pbysical setting - Elevations range from 5,200 feet near Third Dam to 6400 feet at Beaver Creek. Along this segment the terrain changes from a relatively narrow gorge j ust below Third Dam. and runs through a classic canyon landscape to a much more open and rolling setting in the uppennost 8 miles above the Temple Fork confluence. The geological features mosl apparent along the course of the ri ver are some of the karst fea tures, notably Ricks Springs cave, Logan Cave. and Wi nd Cave. Other caves al so ex ist. and undoubtedly many more remain to be di scovered. Ordovician quartzite strata near Right Fork contain unusually well fonned and preserved fuco idal structures (foss ili zed casts of ancient wonn borrows which appear like seaweed mats frozen in the stone). At the west end of the corridor. lake terrace gravel deposits of prehi stori c Lake Bonneville perch above the ri ver bed and mark the upper level of a lake with enormous significance in the Great Basin. Well-defined faults and shear zones cut and displace the sedi mentary strata in se\'eral road cuts along the corri dor. some of which also show geologically interesting small-scale folding of the strata. Uplands are dominated by Douglas fir on cooler north- facing slopes with mapl e, sagebrush. mountain mahogany, and juniper communities on south-facting and other drier sites. Riparian vegetation is characteri zed bi rch/dogwood, box elder, and yellow willow communi ties. Crack willow, an introduced species. is a common component of some of the camping and ipicnicking areas in the lower sections of the segment. One federall y listed Threatened plant, Primula maguirei (Maguire primrose), occurs along this segmentin more mesic limestone cliffs. In addi tion, several Intermountain Region sensitive species. including Viola frank smithii ffranksmi th violet), Eri geron cronquistii , and Draba maguirei, occur on the dolomitic limestone outcrops. No endangered or threatened wildlife species exist on this segment. However, the western bigeared bat, an Intennountain Region (Forest Service) sensitive species, has been verified here. Fish spec ies present include rainbow. brook. and brown trout, and the sensitive species - Bonneville cutthroat trout with has relati onships to both pure and potentially pure sub populations in adjacent tributaries. This popUlation of Bonneville cutthroat in Logan River can be considered pan of a meta-population that occupies the upper portion of thi s river drainage, (in biological tenn s - a population that has imponance beyond the local scale). I • , [ J t J I r t \ . �Human dimension· Parallel access is provided by State Highway 89, a designated National Scenic Byv..'ay. This highway is used by through travellers driving between the Wasatch Front and Idaho or Wyoming. or by recreati on users who are interested in destinations al ong the river and highway. I I I t 1 • f t I ] 1 I I f t Recreation pressure in the corridor, both dispersed and developed. can be considered moderate to heavy depending on season and day of the week. The Forest Service provides many developed campgrounds and picnic sites in the lower ponicn of the segment, and upstream the most notable is the Tony Grove recreation complex, snowmobile parking and other facilities. Other interesting viewing sites include Rick Springs. Access to the river for fishing and tubing is very easy. Two geological markers are present: one explaining about ancient Lake Bonneville and the other about deposits of fucoidal quartzite. Logan Wind Cave is also a destination for hikers. Rock climbing is very popular aiong the segment. Below Ricks Springs some kayaking occurs depending on the water level. Between Third Dam and Right Hand Fork slopes are quite steep, and vegetation diversity shows a high degree of patterning owing to considerable variability in altitude, slope, aspect, soils, etc. Views are not especially long or vastin the lower section, but are some of the more attractive available in northern Utah. The narrow canyon from Right Hand Fork up [0 Chicken Creek provides pleasant scenery to passing motori sts who are nearly enclosed by the canyon and its heavy riparian forest. For those \\·ho stop, a more leisurely viewing experience may be appreciated at a local campsite or picnic area. Scenery above this point changes considerably and ranges from the deeply encised gorge near the twin bridges to wide-open expansive uplands draped with sagebrush and aspen around Tony Grove and Red Banks. Tony Grove Memorial Ranger Station, a National Regi ster site, is within the seb'lllent. TIlls complex has a unique log cabi n and later CCC period buildings that relate to earlier periods in the hislOry of Nationa l Forest land management. Fishing along the Logan River is common, and the experience is considered to be high quality. The State of Utah ranks the upper portion of the segment at Class II , a unique fishing segment. Hunting is also a common endeavor in areas adjacent to the river. The Utah State University Field Station is located in the upper portion of the segment. Portions of the area are in the Logan Canyon Cattle allotment. There are no commercial fishing, hwlting, or recreation activities on the segment. Although some of the several stream-crossing structures may impede peak stream fl ows, there are no fu ll-scale impoundments in this reach above the inundated area above the Third Dam. No sig-nificant diversions have been made that could have any noticeable effects on stream flows or instream water uses ; however, there are probably several minor diversions for adjacent domestic and irrigation uses . DETAILED EVALUATION OF ELIGIBILITY Evaluation of Free-flowing Condition· Although Highway 89 runs the length of thi s segment and has some effects on its free-flow, these are not so substanti al that most observers would notice changes from a purely natural character. In general the ecological functions of the river are V-57 �natural along the segment. Over the last several decades construrction efforts and active management have intended that natural appearance and functions might be preserved. The segment is free-flowing. Evalu ation of Outstandingly Remarkable Values - The Bonneville cutthroat population of this stream is part of a larger self-sustaining continuous meta-population of this species. The fish is a sensitive species which is currently included in a conservation agreement. Spawning of the species occurs in this stream and other Logan River tributaries. In comparison to other known and documented populations of Bonneville cutthroat trout this is a very special population that is and wi ll be important to the overall survival of the species. Scenery along the segment has been recognized as outstanding by the creation of the National Scenic Byway fo r Highway 89. This scenery is diverse and variable, a scenic smorgasbord of this part of the Wasatch Range. The recreation opportunities in this segment are about as broad spectrum as are provided in any simil ar setting northern Utah. If one were to look for a typical northern Utah outdoor recreation, the Logan River area might be a good model for the type. For its variety, length of season, quality, and appropriate scale of facilities, the recreation experience along the Logan Ri ver is outstandIng. nti s segment meetS the criteria for outstandingly remarkable geo logical \'alue due to the diversity and abundance of fear. .lfes \vhich together form an area with high educational and scientific interest. In broad scale, the entire river corridor presents an unparalleled cross section of the geo logic structure and middle and lower Paleozoic carbonate stratigraphy of the west flank of the Bear River Range. A myriad of smaller geologic features fall within the confines of the corridor which contains the geologically-interesting meanders of the Logan River. Ecologically, thIS segment contains a wide variety of plant, animal , and aquatic communities that are functioning in a relatively heal thy manner, especially when compared to the proximity to local urban populations. The use of the corridor as a setting for education for local schools and the uini versity community has been appreciated for many decades. Due to the location of the river in close proximity to Utah State, more is known and written about the local natural setting than for most areas of the western U.S. The ecological setting and its value to local and broader communities can be considered outstanding. Eligibility and Classification - Since this segment of the Logan River is free-flowing and has outstandingly remarkable values. the segment is eligible for the National Wlld and Scenic Rvers System.

Plant communities along this segment appear somewhat altered in many areas because of road placement which channelizes the river, planting of nonnative trees and shrubs. and building locations. There are no threatened, endangered or sensitive fish species in this segment, nor any endangered or threatened wildlife species. Sensitive wildlife species have not been verified. I • • • I iI Human dimension - US Highway 89, a National Scenic Byway, runs along the segment for its complete length. There are three developed Forest Service recration sites in this segment and a geological marker explaining about ancient Lake Bonneville. No significant archeological or historic sites are present. Because of the relatively narrow stream conidor and traffic density recreation opportunities are limited compared to further upstream on the river. Fishing is common, but not generally so satisfying an experience as that upstream . Tubing and some kayaking are popular activities. While the scenery is that of a narrow rocky canyon and quite pleasant, vistas are not so expansive as further upstream where the canyon opens up. There are no commercial recreation ventures in this segment, and linle opportunity to develop any . There is a restaurant which takes advantage of the riverine sening for dining. No commercial hunting or fishing is permined. Due to highway and dam construction over the past century, thi s segment of the Logan ri ver has been heavily modi fi ed.

Riparian communities are typicall y narrow and include willows. dogwood, aspen and conifers. ~o threatened. endangered or sensiti\'e plants are known to occur within these corridors. The flammulated owl, a sensitive species, has been located within the area. The corridors include habitat suitable for boreal owl, goshawk, wolverine and three-toed woodpeckers; none of these sensiti ve species are known to occur within the corridor. Several beaver ponds lie within these corridors, and the lower reaches of some provide big game winter range (moose, elk and deer). Fish species include rainbow, brown and brook trout, sculpin and Bonnevi lle cutthroat trout (a sensiti ve species). While all the fish species in these tributaries can add to visitor enjoyment or the overall wildlife diversity in the upper Logan River drainage, the Bonnevill e cunhroat trout population is of special interest and value. The range of Bonneville cutthroat includes most of the eastern Great Basin (See Appendix F, Regions of Comparison, Fish Values). These several streams in addition to the upper portions of the main Logan River are occupied with a meta-population (that is a genetically interactive larger population of the species) that, if protected, can insure the preservation of the species, which is currently under some considerable pressure to survive due to pressures of exotic species introduction, fi shing pressure, and habitat fragmentation, destruction, andlor degradation. The upper Logan River population of these fish is probably the largest and most di verse subpopulation with habitat connectivity that remains. Fish abundance for the Bonneville cutthroat is high, and the population is self-sustaining through natural spawning in both the main Logan River and these tributaries. This river system is of critical importance to Bonneville \'-6 1 �r cutthroat because of its lack of migratory obstructions, the large number of connected populations, and the overall strength and diversity afthe population. Human dimension - Access up the main Logan River to the lower portions of most of these streams is by u.s. Highway 89, the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway. From this main highway smaller Forest Roads are present up Temple Fork and Beaver Creek, while even more ephemeral roads and trails are present along the other streams (e.g. White Pine Creek). At times the presence of these roads has impacted these streams and plans for some roads (e.g. Temple Fork) include reducing these impacts by reconstruction. Developed recreation sites are few within the upper Logan drainages compared to further downstream along the main Logan River. Dispersed camping and hiking use can be light to heavy depending on which stream is in question and season or day of the week. Fishing use is along these streams variable dependent on access and seasons. A catch and release policy has been in place. Several sites providing access and other recreation opportunities are found within these corridors or close by. Included are: a snowmobile parking area and groomed snowmobile and crosscountry ski trails are located near the junction of Highways 89 and 243 ; a snowmobile route connecting Utah to the Yellowstone area passes through the corridor; Beaver Mountain Ski Area; a commercial outfitter/guide offers horseback rides near the ski area; and portions of the Great \Vestem Trail in Beaver Creek and upper Temple Fork. There are few known prehistoric sites within these corridors, although occasional scatters of chipped stone materials attest to Nati ve American use of the streamsides for seasonal hunting and fishing camps, as well as access ways to upland areas. The Temple Fork Sawmill historic site and historic Tony Grove Ranger Station are within the corridors of consideration. Sheep and catt le graze most of the areas within which these rivers flow. There are no dams or di versions on these segments. In some places U.S. Highway 89, and Forest Roads, and other old roads affect the stream channe ls, flood plains, and water quality by crossing the segments or running along side them. DETAILED EVALUATION OF ELiGmILITY Eva lu ation of Free-flowing Condition - These six tributaries of the Logan River have not been modified to any significant extent by human uses. All six may be considered free-flowi ng . Evaluation of Outstandingly Remarkable Values - The Bonneville cunhroat trout fis hery withi n these tributary streams to the upper Logan River is a significant population. because of its size. diversity, di stribution within several suitable habitats. self-sustaining natural reproduction and the size and vigor of the fish.

As you are probably aware, a number of the aspects and implications of a WSR designation on the highway project are not totally clear, thus the information below is somewh.at speculative and my own opinion, rather than definitive facts . First, you should be aware that designation on USDA Forest Service land is a threestep process: 1) a determination of eligibility, which includes an inventory (evaluation) of resources and an assessment of the required presen, e of both "free f1owing~ c . characteristic~ and one or more "outstandingly remarkable features"; 2) classification'of eligible portions of a river as either recreational, scenic, or wild, based upon the results of item 1; and 3) an evaluation of the suitability for designation in terms of worthiness for inclusion in to the national system, status of land ownership in the area, potential land uses, local governmental interest, cost, and other issues. Suitability is typically add ressed in a detailed study report which includes environmental consideration (analysis, public involvement, preparation of an enyironmental document, etc.) and integration into th e pertinent local (Wasatch-Cache National Forest in this case) Forest Management Plan. If the river meets all of the above criteria, it can be recommended by the Forest Service (Washington level) for Congressional designation. Obviously, the above process, particularly approval by Congress, can take a very long time. Howeve r, the Forest SerVice is mandated to manage and protect the area in accordance with the selected classification during this interim period once the first two steps are completed, which is apparently the current statu s of the Logan River study. As I understand it, the Forest Service has rece ntly determined that portions of the 'upper Logan river are eligible' for designation, and has tentatively classified the portion from Third Dam to its co~fluence with Beaver Cre'ek (near Franklin Basin) as "recreational " -- .. .. " ,I �, Logan City Mayor and Council January 21 , 1999 Page 2 and the portion from the confluence to the Idaho border as "scenic", They are now working through the details of how to integrate these classifications in their Forest Manqgement Plan and determining at what level approval for any forthcoming proposed activities in the area will be made, My personal opinion is that nothing UD,OT is proposing as a part of the current highway project (some improvements and structural replacements between Tony Grove and Franklin Basin) will impact or be impacted by the anticipated river protection, UDOT has 'continued to be very proactive in developing plans that avoid or minimize any impacts to the river or its associated wetland I riparian communities. Their designers and construction engineers have worked very closely with us to develop and adhere to . mitigative measures, and to insure that their contractors do li~llwise, Given their solid commitment in this regard and the preliminary plans which have been developed thus' far, it would seem unlikely that anyone could reasonably argue for changes or a delay as a result of any level of WSR designation on the river. The only aspect for which I have concern is the potential for someone to delay the project by filing some type of protest (frivolous or otherwise) against it on the basis of a violation of tlie interim protection afforded the river under the Wild and Scenic Rivers ' Act. Unfortunately, it appears that the Forest Service does not have any proscribed process for addressing and responding to such a complaint, and thus some delay could occur. There is some 'effort underway at this time to get a handle on this issue, with the goal of having the Forest clarify exactly how and with what time frame they would deal with it should it arise. . Thank you for your confidence, and I hope this helps you somewhat. At your request: I am more than willing to discuss the matter further with regard to this or other aspects of the project. Sincerely yours, ~~\~ Thomas M.. Twedt, PhD Principal �Ten ways dams damage rivers ( I) Dams reduce ri ver levels Dams remove water needed for heaJthy in-stream ecosystems. (2) Dams block rivers Dams prevent the flow of plants and nutrients, impede the migration of fish and other wildlife, and block recreationaJ use. (3) Dams slow rivers Many fish species depend on steady flows to flush them down river early in their life and guide them upstream years later to spawn. Stagnant reservoir pools disorient migrating fish and significantly increase the duration of their migration. (4) Dams alter water temperatures By slowing water flow, most dams increase water temperatures. Other dams decrease temperatures by releasing cooled water from the reservoir bottom. Fish and other species are sensitive to these temperature irregularities, which often destroy native populations. (5) Dams aJler timing of flows By withholding and then releasing water to generate power for peak demand periods, dams cause downstream stretches to aJtemale between low water and powerful surges that erode soil and vegetation. These irregular releases destroy natural seasonal flow variations that trigger naturaJ growth and reproduction cycles in many species. (6) Dams fluctuate reservoir levels Dramatic changes in reservoir water levels degrade shorelines and disturb fisheries, waterfowl, and bottom-dwelling organisms. (7) Dams decrease oxygen levels in reservoir waters Then the oxygen-deprived water is released from behind the dam, it can kill fish downstream. (8) Dams hold back silt, debris, and nutrients By slowing flows. dams aJlow silt to collect on river bottoms and bury fish spawning habitat. Silt trapped above dams accumulates heavy metals and other pollutants. Gravel, logs and other debris are also trapped by dams, eliminating their use downstream as food and habitat. (9) Dam turbines cut up fish Following currents downstream, fish are drawn into and cut up by power turbines. (10) Dams increase predator risk Warm, murky reservoirs often favor predators of naturaJly occurring species. **************************** s, a cheaper and less hannful SOIUli atts of power, that ************************* ** �Over the past 100 years, the United States has led the world in dam building. The US Army Corps of Engineers has catalogued approximately 75 ,000 dams greater than 6 feet along the waterways of the United States. So "on average, we have constructed one dam every day since the signing of the Declaration of Independence." Dams have depleted fisheries, degraded river ecosystems, and diminished recreational opportunities on nearly all of the nation's rivers. Hydropower s hould not be considered as clean power because of the destruction of river ecosystems and its many social impacts. Dam designers often fail to account for the impacts of droughts, meaning that dams often produce less power than promised. When these risks of low river flows are factored into calculations of the costs of electricity it can be seen that hydropower is now an expensive fonn of power generation. Private investors in power projects are largely avoiding dams and prefer to invest in cheaper and less risky gas-fired power plants. There has been a grow ing movement to remove dams where the costs - including environmental, safety, and sociocultural impacts - outweigh the benefits - including hydropower, flood control, irrigation, or recreation. FLOOD CONTROL can often be accomplished more effectively and for less money by restoring wetlands, maintaining riparian buffers , or moving people out of the floodplain. Updating antiquated irrigation systems and replacing inappropriate crops can dramatically reduce the need for dams and reservoirs in the arid West. *** *** *** *** ********* 10 KEY POINTS **** *** ** **** ** ** The Players: Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (PERC) Symbiotics, Rigby Idaho Ecosystems Research Instate, Logan Because of the political climate change in our nations capitol, Symbiotics is attempting to take advan tage of the situation to make a quick buck with no thought, or consideration to the devastation they might leave behind.

Thanks for your consideration, Tim King Conservation chair Cache Anglers, a Trout Unlimited chapter �& U€,> &Maybe 1've mellowed some in recent years, or maybe I just got tired of the lopsidedness of having infinite patience with fish and almost none with my fellow humans, but I'm beginning to get a somewhat different perspective on crowded trout streams. It turns out there is more than one way to look at this. For one thing, fish eries conservation-as a subheading under conservation in general-is a serious political issue that will only get more important with time . W ith that in mind I can now som etimes look up and down a river and see not so much a crowd as a constituency: a mob of people that any politician would be happy to see at a rally if they supported him , o r terrified to see if they dido't. There are days when I even wish there we re two or three more people on the water, like maybe the go'·emor and a couple of congressm en . Not even the President of the Un ited States is immune to what he ca ll s, with typica l style. "the environmental thing." Exchange the politician fo r an investment banker and anothe r pe rspective kicks in . Call it environmental economics or , if you prefer, econom ic environmentalism. No fly fi sherman has [ 0 be shown studies to know that large amounts of money are spent on the s port-not just on tackle and licenses, but also on food, travel, lodging, guides, beer and so on . Nor dQC!s he have to be told that trout a re an indicator species that need cold , clean , unspoiled water. When m ost of us look at a hog hole on a normal day, we see a fine piece of trout water that's twenty times m ore crowded than it should be , but a sharp investment type sees something else: H e sees a si tuation where a healthy natura l environment is not an im pediment to the development of industry; he sees that in this case a healthy envi ronment is the industry . Yes, I have been hang ing out with with some of these guys lately . A lot of them like to fish. When access is finall y limited on som e of these waters, most fishermen will see it as a shame, but already some businessmen I know are say ing things like, " Wait a minute. You mean you have a product so good you have to tum away customers ?" I cringe at the thought, but if we assume for the moment that wild trout are a product and fishermen are the custome rs, there are some interesting implications. For instance, m aybe the raving radical environmentalist who was running around a decade ago demanding that the envi ronment be saved and citing truth, beauty and poetry as reason s can now come back and say. "My associates and I would like to show you how minimum flows and special regula tions on your stream could bring somewhere between one and three million dollars a year into the local economy." As an earth-hippie you were treated with strained politeness at best, but now, suddenly. they're calling you "Mister" and paying for your lunch, even though your agenda hasn 't changed a bit . r JOIf<.! 6, £/'LIfB' �To put it another way. you can make conservation work by convincing people that preserving this forest or that trout stream is the right thing to do, or you can show them that it's not only right, but lucrative . What we're talking ahout here is a modest local industry, but it 's one that involves no factories , no pollution , no new housing, schools, sewers, water taps, fire trucks, police, etc. Or you can see it as a tourist anraction that doesn't have to turn the town into a carnival and half its citizens into cheap hucksters in coonskin caps. A good trout stream won't bring in the wealth of an oil field, but it will be clean, Quiet, dignified, permanent and profitable enough to make looking into ih~ wa ter rights WO,1:hwhile~ -;;:;;;;;;;:;;;;;;;;;;======~-:.:..: ::::~====~ - " Will this actually work?" asks o ne 01 the skeptics In the chamber of commerce. "Well," you can say, "look at that quality stretch of the Such-and-such Riv. r. So many people fish it they're trying to figure out how to cut down on the crowds ." At that moment you remember being elbowed out of your fa vo rite run fondl y, because you can say with conviction, "Trust me, if the trout are here, the people will come ." Hell, they won't even have to advertise. You know how hard it is to keep good fi shing a secret . To man y activists, ,hi s kind of thing amounts to swimming with the sharks. 1 suppose it does when you think about it, but it 's still possible that the most environmentally meaningfll l thing you can do right now is teach a h2n:"cr new to fish and' then take him to the jewel in the crown of the state's fisheries on a Saturda~' :afternoon. From an economic standpoint , this kind of thing requires what can seem like some radical thinking. After all, what we're talking about is existing in some kind of long-term harmony with the natur II environment and making a decent living at it. but we're " at talking about getting fabulou sly rich overnight. We're I. ' king at the possibility-or maybe I should say the necessity --of being reasonabl e for a change . Still (believe it or not) there are some bu sinessmen out there who understand th.. : nur old boom-and-bust, exploitthe- resource-a nd-move-.m program is just not going to work anymore. The problem i:., even if you can bring yourself to sanction rape for profit , the re's getting to be a crucial shortage of victims. And I th ink being reasonable should include us fisherm en , too . Unfortunately, some of us have gotten into a kind of junk bond mentality from fishing the hog holes. I 've actuall y talked to guys who won't admit the fishing was "good" unless they were tuna-boati n~ 20-inch trout all day long. But the fact is. many of our be ho.~ holes are tailwater fi sheri es that have been arti fi cially Haled by the effects of bottom draw dam s. Some of them veren't as good when they were wild rive rs. and I know of . t least one that held carp ins tead of trout before the dam we rll in . �On the other hand, a normal, run-of-the-mill, healthy trout s tream that's managed properly with minimum flows and appropriate regulations will likely produce something less spectacular; say, 12- to 14-inch wild, pretty trout with the occasional 16· to IS-inch bomber. Some of us could easily lin with that, and maybe 3 few more of us ought to.

It's just conceivable that if we developed all our fisheries to their full potential, the economic benefits would be enough to make it worthwhile. In the end it's a matter of attitude. (Remember that much of life, not to mention some great ideas, depends on nothing more than your point of view.) Crowded hog holes can be seen as proof that the sport is headed for ruin, or they can be used as evidence of just how much a good trout stream is worth in dollars and cents . And if you measure value in mor.e spiritud and aesthetic terms, fine. Just between you and me, that 's what it really comes down to in the end. All the rest of this is just a convenient illusion , but it is convenient. I know this sounds like an oversimplified romantic idea, but then so did catch-and-release fishing a generation ago. I know there is at least a handful of businessmen out there who are beginning to like the economic approach to conservation (or vice versa), and it 's easy to see how this could be used to lever those politicians who are telling us we can have a healthy environment and a healthy economy. Many of those guys made that promise off the tops of their heads because it sounded good. Imagine how relieved they'd be to learn that it could actually happen. . �March 9, 1999 Mayor Douglas Thompson, Members of the Logan City Council 255 North Main Street Logan, Utah 84321 RE: Logan River Wild and Scenic River Designation Proposal Dear Mayor Thompson and Members of the Logan City Counci1: I am writing to provide information relevant to the proposal that the Logan City Council support designation of the Logan River as a wild and scenic River. By way of introduction, I am a natural resource consultant with 25 years of river policy experience. I am a recognized expert in the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, having managed wild and scenic river programs for the National Park Service and consulted with both the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management on wild and scenic river issues. I have drafted Federal Wild and Scenic River legislation and was the originator of many of the guidelines currently used by Federal agencies to evaluate wild and scenic river eligibility. t am also a native Utahn (though exiled to Massachusetts for the past 20 years) and was a resident of Cache Valley for several years. I am very familiar with the Logan River: I served as supervisor of recreational guards for the Logan Ranger District and have visited the canyon frequently since then. I provided substantive comments on the Wasatch-Cache National Forest's 1994 and 1999 draft rivers inventories. The Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act is a complex piece of legislation, and there is no end to the misinformation regarding its effects on land use, private property rights, water rights, etc. To aid in your deliberations, I have taken the liberty to address some of the questions that might arise on this subject (please note that, while I favor protection of the Logan River, I have consciously tried to set my opinion aside and to present objective, verifiable information based on my professional knowledge of the Federal Wild and Scenic Rivers Act and of rivers that have been designated as wild and scenic rivers): What are the general effects of a river being deSignated as a wild and scenic river? The Wild and Scenic Rivers Act has two primary consequences for designated rivers. First, no new dams may be constructed within a designated river segment. Second, no Federal action may be taken that wouJd have a negative effect on the river's natural functioning or on the natural resource values for which it was designated. The term "Federal action" refers to: (a) Federal permits, (b) Federal funding, and (c) Federal lands management. This does not mean that Federal permits and funding are prohibited, only that these must be compatible with the continued conservation of the river. The effect on Forest Service land management is discussed below. What effect would designation of the Logan River as a wild and scenic river have on forest land use? The Forest Service would continue to manage Logan Canyon and the river corridor. Campgrounds and picniC areas along the river would continue to serve public needs and other land uses couJd continue. However, in making management decisions, the Forest Service would have to explicitly consider the effect of its actions on the river and would be prohibited from taking actions that would harm the river or the natural and recreational resource values for which it was designated. (For Logan River, these values include fisheries, scenery, geological and hydrological values, recreation, and, pOSSibly, wildlife.) This means that campground improvements, trails, etc., would need to respect the river's natural processes (this would be required regardless), and grazing permits would need to be monitored to ensure that the natural condition of riparian areas is maintained and water quality is not impaired. Forestry and hunting would not be affected. How would designation affect private property? Most of the lands along the affected portion of Logan River are in Federal ownership. There are a few private parcels and a block of State land. Private property will continue to be subject to the same State and local land use regulations as is now the case (designation only affects Federal actions). The lands that are part of the State/Federal land swap will likewise be subject to State and local land use regulations. While the �Federal government could not dictate how these lands are used, it is reasonable to think that the State might wish to cooperate with the Forest Service in conserving these important riverine areas. Several creative land management strategies could be employed that both meet State needs and protect the river corridor. Note also that research suggests that wild and scenic designation would have a positive effect on private land values. This is because buyers are willing to pay a premium to live near natural areas when there is a guarantee of continued conservation. What effect would this have on tourism? Only a select few rivers are designated as wild and scenic. No Utah river has been designated as such yet. It stands to reason that designation of the Logan River would be perceived as an attraction for visitors considering coming to the area. Research on the subject bears this out, but also suggests that the extent to which tourism is enhanced depends on how actively local interests publicize this. (I am personally aware of rivers where designation has been publicized and others where it purposely has not been publicized. Both strategies have been used to good effect.) I would suspect that, in the case of the Logan River, Cache Valley civic and business interests would be wise to tastefully publicize designation. For example, the State tourist map could be modified to note this, as could Cache Valley tourism brochures. Tourism-related businesses, Utah State University, and others could use the designation to demonstrate their proximity to important scenic resources. From a national perspective, Federal maps showing important natural areas would include the river. Would designation prohibit highway expansion? Wild and scenic designation does not preclude bridge repair, resurfacing, or even roadway relocation. However, as referenced above, Federal permits (Clean Water Act, 404 permits, Forest Service special use permits, etc.) and Federal funds could only be made available if these actions were compatible with continued conservation of the river and its corridor. With regard to the Logan Canyon, decisions regarding whether or not the proposed action would meet the standards of the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act would be made by the Forest Service. Based on the information I have on the highway proposal, it is my professional opinion that .designation as a wild and scenic river would not ereclude improvement to the highway. It would, however, r uire that UDOT take special precautions, bot in desi~ and construction to ensure that the road does not and scenic resources are preserved, an at short-term ISru tions a ter ow re 'mes, that 1m or an na "to t e river are mimnuz . ven if this costs a Itt e more, It wou a resuIfin a supenor project at meets ong: term multiple needs. Would designation affect existing downstream uses? Designation would not affect the existing diversion of water to the North Logan Canal (which is govemed by State law), nor would the downstream dams or power plant be affected. Repairs to and management of these dams could continue as in the past. Designation would not affect downstream diversions, land use, etc., as the river flows through Logan and into the lower valley. How would downstream water quality be affected? This is an area often overlooked. Currently, the City of Logan has very little control over upstream Federal actions that could have an adverse impact on wa ter quality. Designation of a river as wild and scenic places significant constraints on upstream actions that would increase sedimentation, water temperature, or pollutants. It also increases opportunity for local input into the Forest Service decision process. I can think of few other actions that would ensure long-term protection of downstream water quality more than designation of an upstream area as a wild and scenic river. In the long run, this may be the most compelling reason for the City to support wild and scenic designation. Can we trust that future management of the river will be in keeping with the concepts outlined above? If the river is designated as a wild and scenic river, a management plan would be prepared that would guide future management. Active involvement in the development of this plan by the City would help to ensure that local interests are represented. Also, it is entirely appropriate for the Federal designating �legislation to contain specific provisions that will guarantee certain agreements. For example, provisions could be included that guarantee that the existing downstream hydro facility would not be affected by designation. Or, it could be directed that the City of Logan have an active role in implementation of certain aspects of the management plan. Thank you for the opportunity to provide this information. If you have further questions about the effects of wild and scenic river designation, please feel free to contact me. [f I don't have the answer, I will research it for you or put you in contact w ith others who can help you. You can reach me by phone, fax, or email. In dosing, I wish to emphasize that the Logan River is a very special place. It is the last intact large river system along Utah's population belt. It is also, as was made evident in the recent Forest Service rivers inventory, the most Significant river in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. You are very fortunate to have this special natural resource in your backyard, and it is in Logan's interest to ensure that it continues to be available for the use and enjoyment of future generations.

State Salt Lake City, UT 84138 Dear Supervisor Weingardt, Thank you for sending us a copy of the draft Wild and Scenic eligibility study for ri vers in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. We are pleased to see that seve ral rivers in the Logan River drainage have been identified as eligible for desig nation. We appreciate the opportunity to pro vide some co mments on this study. We are especially concerned about the eligible segment of the Logan Ri ve r from Beaver Creek to Third Dam. We would like to discuss two issues: the tentative classifica tion of this river segment, and the w ildlife a long this segment. 1. Classifica ti on of the Logan River from Beaver Creek to Third Da m This segment has been given a preliminary classification of Recreational. We are curi ous why it has received th is rating, as the stud y provides no reason whatsoever. We believe this classification is not correc t for the upper stretch of th is segment. We recommend that this segment be divided fo r the purpose of classification. The segment from Beaver Creek to just below Lower Twin Bridge should be classified as Scenic, while the segment from just below Lower Twin Bridge to Third Dam can be classified as Recreati onal. The segmen t of the Logan from Beave r Creek to just below Lower Twin Bridge sa tisfies the criteria for a Scenic river as outlined in the draft eligibility study, page E-14. The criteria for a Scenic river are: "'Free of impoundmen t. According to the draft eligibility study, there are no "full-scale" impoundments in this segment (page V-57). "'Largely primitive and und eveloped, with no substantial evidence of human activity. Although highway 89 runs along the length of this segment, the ri ver and its banks are largely primiti ve and undeveloped. The study notes that few obse rvers of the river would notice any changes from a purely natural character (VS7). There is excellent riparian vegetation along much of this segment screening the highway from the river and giving the river and its banks a na tural appea rance. From the perspective of the river and its banks there is no substantial evidence o f human activity. *The presence of grazing, hay production or row crops is acceptable. The study does not identi fy any concerns with grazing, hay production or row crops. "'Evidence of past or ongoing timber harvest is acceptable, provided the forest appears natural from the riverbank The study does not identify any concerns here. �"Accessible in places by road . The river is accessible in places by road. "Roads may occasiona lly reach or bridge the river; the existence of short stretches of conspicuous or longer stre tches of inconspicuous road s or rail roa ds is acceptable. Highway 89 runs along the length of this segment, but for most of this distance the road is screened off from the river by the ripa ria n vegetation. Logan Ri ver ripa rian vegeta tion is considered am ong the "best preserved in the state" (U tah Department of Transportati on, FEIS, U.S. High way 89, 1993, page 9-59). Along most of this segment the road is inconspicuous from the river and its banks. People who fish, kaya k, picnic, and walk along the banks enjoy a na tural ri ver environment w ith little or no intrusion o f highwa y sights and so und s. This segment of the Logan satisfies the criteria for a Scenic river. It far exceeds the stand ard s for a Recreationa l river, which allows low dams, river diversions, development, and "substanti al evidence of human activity" (E-lS). This segment should therefore be classified as Scenic. The segment from just below Lower Twin Bridge to Third Dam contains an impoundm ent, the inunda ted area above Third Dam . Also, the highway is quite close to the river, with little screening. This segment can be class ified as Recreationa L We are pleased to note that, according to the d raft eligibility study, the Logan Ri ver from Beaver Creek to Third Dam has five outstandingly rema rkable va lues, scene ry, the fishery, ecology, geology and recrea tion. The study shows tha t this segment has more outstandingly re ma rkable va lues than any other river in the forest. This provides an argument for a Scenic classifica tion. The Logan fro m Beaver Creek to just below Lower Twin Bridge should be classified as Scenic in ord er to better p rotect its fi ve outsta nd ingly remarkable values. A Scenic classificati on woul d be an effective management too L It is not consistent with the construction of dams and dive rsions, and with the development of the ri ver area for residential or agricultural use. The re may be "no substanti al evidence of hum an activity." This man agement prescripti on would help protect especially the scenery, fishery, and ecology of this river segment. A classificati on of Recreational, on the other hand, might be interpreted as allowing d evelop ment ha rmful to these values. . Wildlife conce rns As we sta ted in our letter of October 20, 1998, we believe tha t the comparison region used in this study for eva lua ting wildlife is too la rge. It stretches north to include Yellowstone and the Bighorn Moun tains, east to include the Colorado Rocky Mounta ins, and south to almost Albuquerq ue. Rivers in the Wasa tch-Cache a re compa red to ri vers in Yellows tone National Park, Grand Teton Na tiona l Pa rk, and Rocky Mountain Na tiona l Pa rk for di versi ty and un iq ueness of species a nd hab itats. It's an unfa ir compa rison. The Wasatch-Ca ch e is not managed for "big and showy" species such as bison, wolves, and grizzly bea rs. The Wild and Scenic Rive r Review in the State of Utah, Process and Criteria for Interagency Use, 1996, states "Compa rative regions should not be so large as to unreasonabl y limit outstandingly remarkable rive rs to only those few that stand out as the very best in the nation." We believe the comparison region fo r wild life in this stud y is inconsistent with this policy. Furthermore, we are concerned that the discussions of w ildlife in the draft eligibility stud y a re incomple te and possibly incorrect. The segment of the Logan from Beaver Creek to Third Darn is about 20 miles long, yet the only wildlife species mentioned in the discussion of this �segment is the western big-eared bat. This d iscussion seems incomplete. There is no men tion of other important wi ldlife species known to occur in Logan Canyon, for example, the boreal owl, flammulated owl, goshawk, and the three- toed woodpecker (Biological Assessment / Evaluation, 1995, Record of Decision, U.s, Highway 89, Logan Canyon, Wasa tch-Cache National Forest), The wolverine has a medium probability of occurrence in Logan Canyon. These are all Forest Service sensitive species. For these species, population and/or habitat viabili ty is of concern. By the wildlife standard reported on page E9 of the study, these species should be included in the discussion o f w ildlife in this segment. The stud y also does not mention moose and mule deer, yet these species a re frequently seen along the Logan Ri ver. Elk are also sighted along the river. For the upper tributaries of the Logan, including Beaver Creek, the study reports the presence of moose, elk and deer. It also reports the presence of the flammulated owl. It reports the presence of suitable habitat for the borea l owl, goshawk, wolverine and three-toed wood pecker, but states that "none of these sensitive species are known to occur" along these tributaries. However, the Wasatch-Cache in its ]995 Biological Assessment / Evaluation reports the presence of these species in Logan Canyon. We recommend tha t the discussions of wildlife in the Logan River drainage be rewritten to be more complete. They should reflect information in the 1995 Biological Assessment/ Evaluation. Also, the study should also adopt a more reasonable region of com parison for w ildlife. We believe the segmen t of the Logan from Beaver Creek to Third Dam is outstandingly remarkab le for wildlife based upon the presence of moose, mule deer, elk, and at least fou r sensitive wildlife species including the western big-eared bat. The upper tributaries are outstandingly remarkable for wild life based upon the presence of moose, mule deer, elk, and at least four sensiti ve species including the flammulated owl. Thank you for considering these comments. Since rely, Dan Miller, President Logan Ca nyon Coalition cc: Gordon Steinhoff, Board Chair Tom Scott, U.s.

Bruce Du rsteler Mayor, North Ogden Charles Hoffman Mayor, Draper The Wasatch Front Regional Council as the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Salt Lake and Ogden Areas has a significant interest in the US-89 corridor in Davis and Weber Counties. As Chairman of the Regional Council's Transportation Coordinating Committee (Trans Com), I am interested in pursuing improvements in the corridor as soon as possible. James Layton Mayor, Layton William H. Levitt Mayor, Alta Robert Linnell Mayor, Bountiful Jeff D. London Commi SSioner Morgan County The Utah Department of Transportation and cities and counties along US-89 from 1-15 in Farmington to Harrison Boulevard in Ogden have been studying the corridor for several years. Their studies have identified improvements needed to promote safety and better traffic flow in the corridor. Last year, a consultant study of the corridor recommended that a limited-access expressway with interchanges at several locations is the best alternative for meeting the needs on US-89. The recommendations of the study have been endorsed by all cities and counties along the corridor and by the State Transportation Commission. Blaine Ne lson Mayor, Fruit Heights Larry Sm ith Mayor, Sandy Scott Sneddon UDOT has begun environmental and design work for an interchange at SR-193 (Hill Field Road) and US-89. Construction is planned for 1992. However, funding for the remaining sections of the corridor has not been identified. A combination of state and federal funds will be required to complete the project. Mayor, Ogden D. Mic hael Stewa rt Commissioner Salt Lake County We would appreciate your support in pursuing funding options for the corridor. I am enclosing some information which will be helpful to you. Included are copies of: 1) A petition Signed by Davis County majors and legislators requesting Congressional support for US-89 2) A letter of support from Weber County officials �April 5, 1990 Page two If you need more information or have any questions, please call Doug Hattery at the Regional Council offices or call me at (801) 626-6013.

It is one of only two corridors linking the Ogden Area with Salt Lake City. It services such major traffic generators as Hill Air Force Base and Weber State College. Maintaining the ability of U~89 to serve these needs is critical to the continued growth of Davis and Weber Counties. OJer the J;ast few years, several studies of the corridor have been conducted. Last year, a consultant hired by the Utah Department of Transportation and the cities and counties in the corridor recommended that U~89 be upgraded to a limited-access expressway with interchanges at several locations. Such an expr.essway would increase the safety in the corridor while maintaining traffic flow at a high level of service. The Wet:er Area Council of Governments has tmanimously supported the recanmendations for developing U~89 as an expressway. We would like to ask for your support in pursuing the expressway alternative and in obtaining funding for making the improvements. Your help would be very much app~eciated.

In every I------~ e ~~--of Utah needless development schemes abound. r· -m ote corner ~ The Utah Wilderness Association has led the battle to preserve the natural values of the public lands in Utah. From the establishment of the Lone Peak Wilderness in 1978 to the Utah Wilderness Act of 1984 and the Bureau of Land Management wilderness n~view, the history of wilderness and preservation in Utah has been the history ofUWA. But UWA's interests go beyond wilderness. We have led the battle to force the Forest Service to reduce timber harvesting in unroaded areas critical to wildlife on the Wasatch, Ashley and Dixie National Forests. We have challenged BLM and Forc~t Service proposals to allow oil and gas exploration in critical roadless areas. 'Ve have fought to protect desert bighorn sheep habitat from been exploited by off road vehicles and overgrazing by domestic livestock. Our efforts are directed at ~every BLM and Forest Service land management plan and proposal. UWA has been at the forefront of public land decisions in Utah. We have a full-time professional staff and an office in Salt Lake City. We have built a volunteer network and as a member you will have an opportunity to participate . in managing your lands. V~on't you join us? Wilderness is the Egljtorne of Multiple Use The last remnants of the~ frontier are the roadless areas of the national forests, parks, wildlife refuges and BLM lands. These places of the West are closing up rapidly due to the orf'.c;sures of development. It is now time to recognize the value of wilderness before it is too late. Wilderness protects resources which may prove to be the most valuable of all--scenic vistas, solitude, wildlife habitat, clean air, undisturbed watersheds and biological diversity. Literally, wilderness provides a buffer to our constant homogenizing of life. The recreation value of wilderness for hiking, hunting, fishing, horse-packing or cross country skiing is obvious. But wilderness also provides ecosystem reserves for research that may improve the quality of life. Wilderness protects the last refuge of wild species such as bighorn sheep, elk, moos(\ black bear, cougaif, pine marten, river otter, wolverine and bald eagle. Ultimately wilderness acts as a barometer of our humaneness. Can we share this planet with majestic mountain ranges, virgin forests and free-flowing rivers? Or must we be the sole inhabitants of a state or a world and be forced to experience the magic of our red rock canyons and mountains in books? Indeed, wilderness is the epitome of multiple use. �The High Uintas Wilderne" s s IhUJtah Wilderness Act of 1984 "High peaks thrust into the sky, snow fields glistening like lakes of molten silver .. .forests and rocklands blended into one grand view. "That's how John Wesley Powell described the High Uintas when he saw them in 1869. The incomparable Uinta Mountains, including King's Peak, Utah's highest, are now protected as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. With 'Wasatch Front areas like Mt Naomi, Timpanogos, Mt. Olympus, Wellsville, Lone Peak and Twin Peaks, and southern Utah areas like Dark Canyon, Box-Death Hollow, the Pine Valley Mts. and Paria Canyon, the Uintas form the foundation of a diverse system of Utah wilderness. Utah's fifteen wilderness areas constitute just 2.5% of our state's public lands. 'The wilderness agenda remains unfulfilled. For example, roadless areas just outside wilderness boundaries are threatened with timber sales and new roads for oil and gas exploration--Iands which should have been included in the wildemess designation.

But of most importance you are needed to initiate the vision and the path toward wilderness ~~!liIP~~~ pr~servation. ~BLM Wilderness Reyiew With millions of acres of roadless country at stake, the BLM wilderness review promises to be the focal point of Utah's wilderness battle for many years to come. UW'A was born with the BLM wilderness review. Initiated in the late 1970s the BLM wilderness review has been a massive undertaking highlighted with controversy. Of 22 million acres of BLM land in Utah the agency originally recommended only 2.6 million acres for wilderness study area (WSA) status. UWA organized the largest forma1l wilderness appeal ever filed (925,000 acres) before the Departtnent of Interior. This appeal and a subsequeI).t UWA appeal resulted in over 600,000 additional acres of wildlands being given wilderness study area status. Unfor1tunately, the problems did not stop there. Of these 3.2 million aCf(~S of WSAs BLM has preliminarily recommended a mere 1.9 million acres for wilderness designation, an ar~~ smaller than Yellowstone National Park. U\VA has countered with a wilderness proposal on BLM lands in nine integral ecological regions: the West Desert featuring the "island" ecosystems of the 12,000 foot Deep Creek Mts. and other Great Basin Ranges; the renowned river running and wildlife-rich DesolationlBook Cliffs country; the San Rafael, a composite of Utah's canyon country and proposed for years as a national park; the high plateaus and deep canyons of the Kaip~nrowits Plateau; the Escalante's unspoiled redrock canyons; the geologically and ecologically unique Henry Mts.; the incised canyons of the Dirty Devil/Canyonlands country, including the lower Green River, the Colorado River and the Dirty Devil as well as all of the country surrounding Canyonlands National Park; the archeologically rich Grand Gulch Plateau; and the diverse slickrock canyons and ponderosa pine plateaus of the Zion/Cannan Mt. region. Ow: desert lands literally represent the most unique places on this earlth. They hold a secret of survival, an aesthetic resource unmatched and they tell us of our past. They hold the potential for large and ecologically intact additions to the wilderness system. With your help we can preserve these lands. lmAT OTHERS THINK OF JJWA: "Thl~ UWA does a good, effective and essential job in defending what remains of the most beautiful and unusual landsc:ape in the U.S. The UWA deserves the support of all Americans who care about our best traditions." Edward ~[ "Th~e UWA has sought reasonable solutions to complex public lands issues and has provided a vital counterpoint to traditional government and industry views. UW A has impressed us with its persistent and effective work on behalf of Utah wild lands." Governor Scott Matheson "Th~e UW A has worked skillfully and dil igently over the years to protect the best natural areas in the state, and its success is nearly unbelieveable. Without the UW A we would not have had a Utah Forest Service wilderness bill in 1984." Joe Hauman. Deseret News Environmental Writer ~{jL-." ~' . ~~ ~h lt~~7d~ ..

" �455 East 400 South t306/Salt Lake City,UT 84111/(801}359-1337 November 1988 Dear friend of Utah wilderness: As a friend and supporter of Utah's outdoors, you know of our state's incredible natural treasures. From the power of the roaring Colorado in Canyonlands National Park to the 13,000 ft. peaks of the High Uintas; from the archaeologically unique Grand Gulch to the slickrock canyons of the Escalante; from the wildlife-rich Book Cliffs to the island ecosystems of the Great Basin mountain ranges; no other state is so richly endowed with this diversity of wildlands. Indeed, our quality of life centers upon these treasures. The survival of these wild places cannot be taken for granted. During the past two years, the Forest Service has initiated damaging logging, roading and oil and gas exploration in exceptional wildlands on the North Slope of the High Uinta Mountains .... On the spectacular San Rafael Swell, uncontrolled off-road vehicle use is threatening bighorn sheep populations and damaging the Swell's fragile soils and many threatened and endangered plant species ... .In eastern Utah's Book Cliffs, the Bureau of Land Management wants to open one-half million acres of critical wildlife habitat and potential wilderness to oil and gas development. ... Along the Wasatch Front, overdevelopment threatens to urbanize our canyons by expanding into the few remaining undeveloped areas. You get the picture--if we, you and I, don't act to protect our wildlands, the things we love most about Utah are going to disappear. That's why I'm asking you to join the Utah Wilderness Association. UWA is Utah's most effective voice for sound public land management. In 1980 we intitiated the first major push for Forest Service wilderness designation in Utah. And in 1984 we found success in the passage of the Utah Wilderness Act. The Act may have been the single most important piece of conservation legislation in our state's history. It designated 12 wildernesses, led by the massive High Uintas Wilderness and including areas as diverse and unique as Mt. Naomi, Mt. Olympus, Twin Peaks, Deseret Peak, Mt. Nebo, Dark Canyon, Box-Death Hollow and a host of others. Today that battle continues with our efforts focussing on protecting areas which should have been designated wilderness in 1984. They include additions to the North Slope of the Uintas, the Whiterocks River drainage on the eastern end of the range, the Mt. Watson area on the western end, The Tushar Mts., Wayne Wonderland, additions to the Pine Valley Mts. Wilderness and others. In late-1986 we appealed the Dixie and Manti-LaSal forest plans because they failed to protect important unroaded areas. The result of the appeals? After more than a year of negotiations, over 300,000 acres of unroaded areas are now protected from logging, ORV use and other surface disturbing activities! But it won't end there. We will never back away from our decade-long commitment to designate as Wilderness all deserving lands on our national forests. �In 1980, with the BlM wilderness review floundering due to BlM's timid attitude toward preserving wilderness, we organized the largest formal appeal ever filed before the Department of Interior--925,000 acres. As a result, 90% of these lands were kept in the BlM wilderness review. The 3,000-page appeal, dotted with hundreds of maps and photos and written by over 100 affiants, wound its way through the appeal process for four years. During that time over 800,000 acres were put back into the wilderness inventory. In March 1985, after five years in the making, UWA's visionary proposal for almost 4 million acres of wilderness on Utah's BlM lands was released. The proposal focusses on nine integral geographical and ecological regions within the state in order to assure preservation of our most important biological and recreational areas. It also has the endorsement of a host of environmental groups within Utah. But gaining congressional support will not be easy. We'll need your help to assure that Utah's world-class desert wilderness will get the protection it deserves. The Utah Wilderness Association works on more than just designating wilderness. We have led the battle to prevent overcutting of timber on our national forests and overgrazing on all public lands. We have fought agency proposals to allow oil and gas exploration in critical roadless areas. We have battled to protect bighorn sheep from exploitation by off-road vehicles. We have fought for wildlife and wild rivers. And we do all of this with an active and vocal membership. We conduct fieldtrips and workshops ranging from wilderness role-playing events to special presentations on Utah's predators. We prepare a bi-monthly newsletter, the UWA Review. Every year we host a membership rendezvous and conduct seminars with a variety of guest speakers such as Ed Abbey, Barry lopez, Roderick Nash, Michael Frome and Phil Fradkin, Congressman Wayne Owens, Senator Jake Garn and former Governor Scott Matheson. We sponsor an annual poetry contest which receives hundreds of entries from throughout the West. By joining the Utah Wilderness Association not only do you contribute toward the preservation of wilderness but you gain the opportunity to learn a lot about the issues and how to get involved. NOT A BAD DEAL FOR $20 A YEAR! The future of our public lands depends upon our willingness to act. Those who want to exploit these lands purely for economic gain will certainly be heard. As a member of UWA you can be sure your voice will also be heard. Best regards, ~~ Dick Carter Coordinator �,. t � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

"Your present localion is designed to you for a refuge, a place of rest; therefore see to it that ye pollute 110t your inheritance, for if you do, you might expect that the judgement of heaven will be poured out upon you." - Brigham Young �.M LOGAN CANYON -D EDUCATION CAMPAIGN Highway Construction Proposed improvements of Highway 89 have been the most visible issue in Logan Canyon for a long time. Although conservation gro ups wanted to protect the canyon from excessive highway construction, they also recognized the need for improvements, such as bridge replacements. Two bridges (Burnt and Lower Twin) have been replaced . The next construction project is the section between Franklin Basin and Tony Grove, including the replacem ent of Upper Twin Bridge. This is a sensitive area since the Logan River is very d ose to the highway. Protection of the river w ill be a crudal concern. Accident statistics for the last three years in this area indicate that 70% of the collisions are animal impacts and the remainder are cars off the road or car swipes with no fatalities, showing that speed is a major factor in canyon accidents. A wider and straighter highway will enc01.lrage drivers to increase speeds, resulting in a more dangerous highway. While highway construction remains a very important issue, it is time to broaden our concern to other issues that impact the canyon and its watershed . What are these issues impacting the natural beauty of Logan Canyon? Wild and Scenic Logan River The Logan River has recently been found eligible by the Forest Service for Wild and Scenic classification. Parts that are eligible are a six mile section from the Idaho stateline to the Beaver Creek confluence and a 20 mile section from the Beaver Creek confluence to Third Dam. A suitability study is next; and following that, an act of Congress to make the designation official. This process will be long and likely contentious; particularly in a state with an unsympathetic congressional delegation and many opponents who have and will make fa lse claims and accusations. The Wild and Scenic Act is an excellent way to protect a river in its natural state and its current form of management. It still allow s for private property rights, hunting and fishing, and other activities that will not harm its remarkable qualities. Certain restrictions do apply that must be spelled out ~n a negotiated management plan. Hundreds of communities across the nation have benefited from such designations. The Logan City Council has been asked to support the Wild and Scenic designation, and we hope they will recognize what an ......

The State of Utah became the owner of apprOximatel y 3(XX) acres near Beaver Mountain and became the landlord for the Beaver Mountain Ski Resort. Since the mission for the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA) is to provide income to the public school system, they could sell the land to the highest bidder. Their mandate is to manage lands for thei r "highest and best use." This swap has raised concerns among a number of groups. Bddgerland Audubon, Logan Canyon Coalition (LCC) and Citizens for the Protection of Logan Ca nyon (CPLC), the Great Western Trail Association, Backcountry Horsemen, Cache Valley High Markers and the owners of Beaver Creek Lodge cooperated to form the Beaver Creek Land Alliance. Their primary interest is preserving the scenic vistas and maintaining public access. Although there are county zoning regulations for private lands, SITLA can override local zoning regulations and develop land according to its agenda. ........ 5<_.-.

Motorized Recreation In recent years the dramatic rise and ind iscriminate use of motori zed recreation, ind uding ATV's and snowmobiles, has resulted in tremendous impacts. Wildlife and Forest Serv ice enforcement personnel are overwhelmed with countless incidents of new "ghost" roads being forged, vand alized gates, hillsides being denuded, stream banks destroyed, and illegal travel in wilderness areas. Often it is a small per.:entage of users who are the violators. But as the total number of off-road vehicles increases, more impacts are guaranteed and the threa t to w ildlife increases. While such vehicles are valid and legal forms of recreation, there will come a time when the Forest Service w ill need to restrict their access. �LOGAN CANYON'" EDUCATION CAMPAIGN -0Erosion due to lack of vegetative cover from grazing i1l tile North Rich Callie Allotment.

These problems are serial/sly compoll rlded by tile irrespollsible lise of ORV's over these lands. - - Livestock Grazin g Seventy-two thousand acres of Logan Canyon are divided into 25 allobnents for grazing sheep and cattle. Some areas are being overgrazed and stream banks in riparian areas are being trampled, resulting in increased sediment, loss of aquatic life, and the loss of stream side tree/shrub canopies. This results in warmer water temperatures and loss of fish habitat. Watershed d egradation by livestock has been documented on forest lands in Spawn Creek in the Temple Fork drainage. During the summer of 1997, Spawn Creek had four times the allow~ able count of fecal coliform, at precisely the same time as These bacteria are indi~ ~_ _ cators of disease.causing organisms for-such diseases Allotments near tospirosis. Another example is the Little Bear Sheep and summit. Impacts include ground cover reduced to 23%, loss of soil nutrients vital to plant v i a ~ biIi ty, and the tramp ling of springs and small stream channels to the point where they no longer exist. A loss of diverse ground covers results in the decline of wild life such as snowshoe hare and grouse. This fu rther results in a decline of animals that prey on small mammals, such as the goshawk. In fac t, goshawk numbers have decreased so significantly that it has been listed as a sensitive species, wi th several attempts since the ea rl y 90's to list it as endangered. The Forest Service has recen tly undertaken a project to provide a managemen t d irection that maintains or restores fu nctioning forested habitats for this bi rd . National Forests are OUT watersheds, the source of three- fourths of our d rinking water in the West. A growing sector of the public is demand ing a return to pristine mountain streams ra ther than streams and meadows tra mpled into mud and littered with cow manure. Improved care and proper management are imperative for the l ong~ t e rm health of our forests.

Logging The Bear Hodges Ana lysis project includes plans by the Forest Service to log nearly 3.5 million board feet of timber near the summit of Logan Canyon. This tree harvesting project in both the T. W. Daniels Forest (USU) and Wasatch·Cache National Forest, is an attempt to "restore" the spruce-fir forest to an iII-defined "historic" condition through si lviculture tech niques. Si lvicultu re is the practice of growing and cutting timber. Managi ng pine ba rk beetle infestation by logging this stand of old trees is also a component of this project. It is a doubtful practice, one that has fail ed to control beetle infestations on most other forests; and it is often used as a rationalization for timber harvests. It also ignores the larger his~ to ric role that pine ba rk beetles play in the ecosystem. Dead and d ecay~ ing trees provide necessa ry wildlife habitat and nutrients for new forest growth .

Kennedy - Updating the Forest Management Plan The Forest Service is currently in the process of revising its forest management plan. This will provide direction for forest management for the next 10-20 years. The new plan will focus on ecosystem management, a form of management that considers all the impacts on the long-term sustainability of the forest, and one that could possibly conflict with the current "multiple-use" concept of permitting logging, grazing, mining, and all types of recreational activities. Resolving these issues in a way that reflects more than special interests will require public input throughout the development of a new forest plan. Citizens must be part of this process if they want healthy forest lands for future generations. Input from grassroots organizations must move forward. If you care and want to know more about these issues, send us your name and address on the form below. We will inform you when there are crucial issues where citizen input is essential. Your name will remain confidential. If the Forest Service knows there is broad support in the community, they will be more likely to act in the broad public interests, rather than special interests. Only through citizen action, with the help of experts in OUf community, can we lobby for meaningful change in forest management. YES!

The Winter Recreati on Group. invo lving skiers, snowmobilers and other agencies, will be meeting again after a summer break. The first phase of the road design and construction, specifically the bridges, will be und er way th is spring. Cattle and sheep grazing in the Canyon is being studied. The Scenic Byways are in the final design phase and, of course, we arc always in need of fund s. One of our many concerns regarding to Logan Canyon is the shared ski and snowmobile use of trai ls and back country. For the past year we have been working with the Chamber of Comm erce, the Cache Vall ey Hi gh Markers (a Snowmobi le Club), and the Forest Servi ce. One of the objectives of thi s gro up is to submit a proposal to the Forest Service which would restrict the use of snowmobiles in some areas. The group is also looking for ways to Improve trai l etiquette, safety, parking, public awareness of motori zed restrictions and wilderness boundari es, and interaction between skiers and I n this issu,.e...

C PLC would al so like· to improve communication between ski ers and the Forest Service, so we are hosting a "meet the Forest Service Ski Day" . On Dec. 26, from 9 am through 12 noon, we wi ll be at the Tony Grove parking lot with hot chocolate. The Forest Service will be there, ready to li sten to any of your ideas and concerns. It is important that we let them know there are a Jot o f sk iers in Cache Valley and that there are a lot of ski ers who use Logan Canyon. Also, along thi s theme, we would like to encourage skiers of all levels to keep a ski log for the winter. We need to know the date, the location, the length of the ski, number o f people, and any comments. For example: Jan . 3 - Temple Fo rk - 4 persons - 3hrs. - enj oyed the qui et. Only one person in the group should record the data. This informati on will greatly help us in determining where people ski and when and how to best make recommendation to the Forest Service abo ut the travel plan . Thi s is very important infomlat ion so at the end of your ski season pl ease send us your log. As we come to the end o f the fi rst year being members of the CAT (Cooperati ve Advisory Team Team advising UDOT on road construction and bridge design) we feel we have chosen the best way to effect changes in the future construction of the Canyon. There were certainly fru strating times, and you may recall reading the article in the paper this last fall about our unhappiness with specifi c changes in the bridges design. However, UDOT continues to make concessions, many as a result of that article. We feel good about the designs for Burnt and Lower Twin bridges. We would have liked to have changed the railing design, but compromises from both sides were needed . As a result of o ur experiences on the CAT Team, we are even more aware of how important it is to have experts on our side. We would like to thank Palri ca Ho uston for her expertise in structural engineering and bridge design. Her "? �2 CANYON VIEWS continued contributions wi ll help us in the many phases ahead. CPLC plans to take an active role in the comi ng year in Rangeland Health and the Forest Management Plan issue. We have felt very good about our relationship with the Forest Service and our input into the Scenic BY'vays Proj ect. I went on many field trips with the Fo rest Service to visit specifi c sites and di scuss proposed action. I felt the Forest Service was open to alternatives and ideas which would upgrade services and decrease any visual impacts the project might have on the beauty of the Canyon. The proj ect will begin this next summer. As yo u can see, C PLC is involved in many different and important efforts to protect Logan Canyon. To stay infonned and involved requires long hours on the part of many individuals. We have been fortunate to have people who are willing to give their time and their expertise to help advance the purpose of OUI organization. Aside from time and know ledge, we need money. We need funds to send out newsletters, pay for legal advice, hold meetings, and so on. We are a tax exempt organi zation and have a 50 1 © (3) status. If you have not renewed your membership, please show your support for the protection of Logan Canyon and do so. Any additional contributi ons would be very much appreciated. Our focu s on Logan Canyon is specific; however, the issues related to the Canyon are very broad. If you have concerns about any aspect of the Canyon please feel free to let us know. SHARED USE FOR SKIERS AND SNOWMOBILERS BY LAUREN KELLER With the shortage of snow in the lower elevations last winter, there was a vyi ng between skiers and snowmobilers for trail head parking and trail use. Because of this situation, along with the potential of opening up trail head parking in the Temple Fork area through the development of the Sceni c Byways project, a Winter Recreat ion group was started. The purpose of the group was to see if skiers and snowmobilers cou ld put together a proposal for the Forest SeTVice to amend the current Travel Plan. Last October we called for a meeting of interested ski ers to vo ice their opinion and concerns about the shared use of Logan Canyon with snowmobil ers. The feeling from the meeting was that skiers would like more areas in which to ski without the no ise and pol lution associated with snowmobiles. Skiers would also li ke the areas that are off limits to snowmobil es to be better patrolled. During the winter, CPLC met with Cache Vall ey High Markers, the Chamber of Commerce, and the Forest SeTVice. Some areas of concern were identified: Solitude for skiers seeking a nonmotorized experience, adequate parking, plowing of parking areas for skiers, e.g. Wood Camp, vo lunteers to patrol and disperse informat ion, signs to indi cate motori zed use restrictions, impacts on wi ld life, and enforcement of the ex isting travel pl an. There are two specifi c things you can do to help us. First, as mentioned eariler, keep a sk i log for thi s winter. We need to know where you were skiing, the date, how many hours and any comments you wou ld li ke to make. Also indi cate what level of skier you are, beginning, intermediate, advanced . Please make sure only one person in your group records the data. Then at the end of your ski season, please send it to us. The other thing that would be very he lpful is if you could attend our ski outing with the Forest Service. We are trying to get skiers of all levels to come and meet the Rangers in our district and tell them about your concerns and ideas regarding winter recreat ion use in Cache Valley. Also j ust come fo r fun and to bum off any excess holiday treats. The more ski ers the Forest Service sees are interested in Logan Canyon the better. Dec 26th, 9 am at Tony Grove parking area. We will be there through 12 noon, so come anytime. �3 CANYON VIEWS BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION BEGINS IN THE SPRING BY SHA WN SWANER It is our relationship with UDOT personnel that has been the largest factor in our success. UDOT engineers have responded positively to public input and recommendation from the CAT Team. There is still much to be wary concerning to how well the contractor wi ll follow the guidelines set forth in the Record of Decision, by the Forest Service and by the CAT Team, during bridge construction. Cooperati on and compromise is new for both sides of the tabl e. If we can work through thi s process with the end result being sa fe bridges and relatively little di sturbance to a beautiful canyon, then we wi ll be successful. If we are not successful, then we will have other options open to us for the future phases of the road construction project. It is certainly worth giving the process a chance. As March draws closer and the im age of bu lldozers in Logan Canyon grows increasingly vivid , I am left wondering ifCPLC has chosen the right path. Maybe it is not too late to dusl off the monkey-wrench or chain myse lf to a road grader. However, on careful consideration, I think CPLC has chosen the onl y reali stic course of action. By working with UDOT, we have assisted in the development of plans that will result in the least amo unt of environm ental impact and will decrease the severity of the unavoidable impacts associated with road construction . To understand how this has com e about, I must first explain the philosophy behi nd our approach to UDOT, the result of our As always we are looking for people who would work over the last year, and our concerns and like to help either with the newsletter, sk i and predictions for the fut ure. snowmob il e group, our annual meeting and other In Apri l of 1994, I was privileged to meet wi th miscellaneous stuff.

We have put together some suggestions for i mmedi ate action: PETITIONS Please take them to your neighborhoods and/ or places of work as soon as possible. As you will note, we have decided to encompass opposition to both Stump Hollow zoning chan ge as well as the Right Hand Fork zoning change. Return them by mail ' or hand to either Ann Schimpf Lee Rentz 715 N 3 E Logan 753-0512 or 459 N 1 E Logan 753-5076 or bring them to the October 14 meeting of the Cache Planning and Zoning Commission and deli ver them to Ann. I f you need additi ana1 pet it ion forms or the "Stump Hollow Development?1I summary sheet, please contact Ann or Lee. Eighty-one of you signed up to receive a petition. If each obtains 25 signatures, we will hear 2,026 voices in Cache County. Fifty signatures would add up to 4.052 recommendations! Please do not hesitate to cal l one of us to clear up any confusion about the issues which may arise. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A letter to the Herald Journal is a powerful message which potentially reaches about 10,000 readers--and the paper will print everyone. Write to them at 75 West 3 North, Logan. If you have been shy to write on previous issues. now is an excellent and critical time to break your s ilence. ATTEND THE CACHE COUNTY PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING ON OCTOBER 14 The decision on zone change requests for Right Hand Fork will be made at that time. The Stump Hollow decision has been postponed until the November meeting. Watch the legal notices in the newspaper on Sunday, October 10 to find out the place and time of the Right Hand Fork discussion. It will begin sometime between 2pm and 5pm. The Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon will run ads in the newspaper and spots on the radio encouraging everyone to attend. We feel that although the structures under consideration at Right Hand Fork do not present the negative economic and environmental threat that the Stump Hollow plans do, the precedent of a zoning change is the basic key which will allow roadside development. Because of this, attendance at the October meeting is just as important as your presence at the November meeting. Please speak up at ' the meeting. We need the strongest impact possible. WRITE OR CALL YOUR PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSIONERS Let your feelings be known directly to them before the meeting. If you know any of them, great, but contact them even if you have never met.

We further recommend that the land at Right Hand Fork in Logan Canyon remain an FR-40 lone. We feel that these de velopments would i mpose costs on the vast majority of Cache residents which would greatly outweigh the benefits to a few people . A f ev/ of t he issues are: 1. The cos t of county services provided for Stump Ho ll ow \'1Qu l d not be met by its own residents (through ta xes) for 15-20 years, so ta xpayers l'Iou ld have t o bear the burden. 2. Water and sewage problems at Stump Hollow have not been adequately eva luated and they pose a threat to the watershed. 3. A zoning change would set a precedent and open the rest of the canyon to development. 4. Cache County residents would lose a very valuable and much loved recreational land if the canyon is developed for commercial purposes. Fi shermen, snowmobilers, hikers, hunters, cross - country sk iers, picnickers, touri st s, rock hounds, and photographers enjoy l ogan Canyon in its present state .

It can tell us how sincere we are, and how thorough, in our '90s leaning toward the land. Here is a deep . beautiful and winding canyon. gradually shallowing as it ascends into an open country of high meadows and ridge-top forests. For decades now this canyon has held a fairly mooest two-lane road that winds eastward from Logan with the lay of the land. eventually crests a 78oo-fool summit of the Wasatch Range, and then drops swiftly in switchbacks to Bear Lake. The whole forty miles, in any season, is a treat to the eye, because this is one of the few Wasatch Front river canyons where the road has not become the dominant feature of the landscape. It still looks like respected country . -- Tom Lyon Logan Canyon: Here and Now For the last thirty years there has been a drive to punch a wider, straighter, faster highway through Logan Canyon. In 1961 , five miles of the lower canyon were "improved"; in 1968, six more-up to the Right Hand Fork. But then came the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in 1970, and the road straighteners no longer ha ve a perfectly free hand. Now they have to justify their plans, and di scuss alternatives, and now we too have a say in what happens. Under the requirements of NEPA, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has been researching the environmental impacts of different construction plans. After several years and the expenditure of over three quarters of a million dollars, they've come up with a draft study that doesn't specify a "preferred alternative." Unfortunately, their study, in the view of many, has been marked by slipshod procedures, insufficient data, and lack of consideration for the environment. Now it is up to those of us who care about the beauty and intactness of Logan Canyon to come forward and make a stand. Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon have made their own study of the canyon and have prepared the Conservationists' Alternative, which is incl uded in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). We urge you to give the Conservationists' Alternative your careful examination, to write a letter, and to make a statement at the public meeting on the DEIS. You can make a difference! �The Conservationists' Alternative The goal of this alternative is a highway that fits into Logan Canyon with minimal ecological disturbance and maximum safety, rather than a hi ghway that moves the greatest number of people through the canyon at the highest rale of speed. The Conservationists' Alternative meets this goal , but it is not a do-nothing al ternative. Current roadway width and alignment wou ld be maintained throughout the canyon. with the following exceptions: Bridges and culverts re placed and widened to 28 feet, with all but Lower Twin Bridges kept on the existing alignment. • Turning lanes constructed at Tony Grove Recreation Area and Beaver Mountain Ski Area. • Climbing lanes constructed above Red Banks Campground, below the state sheds, and in the Sinks area, but not at the Dugway. • Increased traffic law enforcement. • Slow vehicle turnouts and multipurpose parking constructed at several locations. • Roadbed raised near Logan Cave and in several other locations to avoid spring fl ooding. WE URGE YOU TO SUPPORT THIS ALTERNATIVE What Can You Do to Help Protect Logan Canyon? Support the Conservationists' Alternative. Write a letter expressing your concerns. Speak out at the public meetiog in Logan. Writing a Letter is as Easy as One, Two, Three First: Introduce yourself. Mention why you are concerned about Logan Canyon and experiences you have had there. Second: Support the Conservationists' Alternative. Also point out problems in the DEIS. You can refer to the above lists for details, or write to us for more infonnation. Third: Put your return address on the lener, sign it, and date it. Send your letter to : James Naegle Utah Dept. of Transportation 4501 South 2700 West Salt Lake City, Utah 84 11 9 To get a copy of the DEIS, call: James Naegle (80 I) 965-4 160 Letters must be mailed by February 1, 1991. Letter-writing workshops will be held at A Book Store, 130 North 100 East, Logan 7:00 p.m., on Thursday, Jamlary 3; Monday, January 7; and Thursday, January 10. Despite what some say, the road builders do "count votes." So speak out! �Other Alternatives Considered in the DEIS After careful study, Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon concluded that these alternatives would compromise safery, destroy the canyon's un ique e nvironment, or both. These alternatives include: • "Standard Arterial" - The widest. straightest. highest- speed alternative. With wide shoulders and "recovery areas" adjacent to the road. well over twice as much land wou ld be disturbed as at present. Large cuts would scar hillsides. and the road would intrude into the river. • "Mod ified Standa rd " - Identical to the Standard Arterial, except the roadway width would be somewhat less in the narrow and scenic middle section of Logan Canyon. There would be fewer cuts than under the Standard Arterial . • " Composite Alte rn ati ve l1 - A combination of the Standard and Mexlified Alternatives. It is a late addition to the list of alternatives and retain s many severe environ mental impacts, such as a climbing lane at the Dugway. It would also have more adverse effec ts on streams in the upper pan of the canyon. • "S pot Improvement" - Road width would not c hange; however, hillsides would be cut to straighten curves, and climbing and turning lanes would be built in environmentally sensitive areas. • " No Action " - NEPA requires agencies to consider this alternative in a DE IS. There are legitimate construction needs in Logan Canyon. however, so conservationi sts have not supponed this alternative. Shaded area shows one of the highway cuts proposed under several of the alternatives. Unfortunately, these alterna ti ves and the DEIS itselr have some serious flaws, incl udin g: • Disturbance of the river and loss of riparian habitats are not adequately addressed. • Impacts on wildlife, especially fish. nongame species, and the threatened Maguire's Primrose, are weakly treated. • Disposal of rubble. many thousands of cubic yards under some alternatives, is ignored . • Greater accident frequency or severity is possible with increased speeds under some al tern atives; this possibility is not addressed. • Site-specific impacts are addressed vaguely; mitigation is put off until the "design ph ase" which is some unspecified time in the future. • Worst-case traffic projections are used to justify major modifications to the highway . yet Logan Canyon is often only lightly travelled. • The safety record for Logan Canyon is not compared with similar mountain road s; yet safety is a major concern and is the rationale for some construction. • Logan Canyon is nationally renowned fo r its scenery, and has been designated a Scenic Byway, yet th is prominence is not di scussed. Logan Canyon Cannot Speak for Itself But you can speak for Logan Canyon. A public hea ring on Logan Canyon is scheduled for T uesday, J anua ry IS, 1991. at the Mt. Loga n Middle School Auditorium, 875 N. 200 East, Logan . If you pla n to speak, you will need to a rri ve ea rly to sign up ir required. The points that apply to letter writing also apply to your spoken comment. It is likely that thetime allotted to each speaker will be about fiv e minutes. so plea se prepare your comments accordingly. If you can both speak at the hearin g and write a lener. do both. Even ir you do not pla n to spea k, please attend the hea ring to show your sup po rt fo r Logan Canyon. Printed on recycled paper Photos by Scott T.

Par d ¥ ; " . �Logan Canyon at Risk The time has come to speak out for the preservation of Logan Canyon and Logan River. Two public seoping hearings concerning the future of U.S. Highway 89 through Logan Canyon will be held locally in early March. The first hearing is set for Mar ch 3 at 7 p.m. in the Mountain Fuel Supply Building in Logan. The second hearing will be held March 4 at 7 p.m. at the City Hall in Garden City, Utah. The hearings are required by federal Jaw as part of the process being undertaken by the Utah Department of Transporation (UDOT) and the Denver-based engineering consuhanls, CR2M Hill. to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS ) th at could recommend a larger and faster highway through Log an Canyon. Developing a list of alternatives for the Logan Canyon highway is integral to the EIS process . The final list of alternatives will not be com· piled until after receiving public comment, which includes the comments given at the scoping hearings. "It's Important that people who love Logan Canyon for its scenic beauty and recreational opportunities attend these meet· ings and speak out, " said Jack Spence, a longtime northern Utah conservationist.

Previous studies have been undertaken to explore major highway construction in Logan Canyon. The most recent study ended in 1980 after local citizens expressed their concern for the canyon.

My grandfather would have pointed out the smokemarked overhang where teamsters hauling stone for the Temple camped a generation before. The road left the main canyon where it narrowed and climbed the Right Fork to Willow Canyon. Alter descending the Temple Fork , they stopped - as we always did on later trips at Ricks Springs for a brillia ntly cold cupful, which Grandfather would have fetched with self·concious courtliness. Where they camped, I don' t know ; a meadow would be chosen, with grazing for the team and a level sleeping spot within the sound of water.

Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon have prepared the following list of recommendations for the study . We urge you to attend the March scoping meeting and support CPLC's position. _ Protection of Logan Canyon's scenic beauty, fish and wildlife habitat, rare plants, recreation sites and naturalness must be a prime concern. _ An Environmentlllmpad Statement (EIS ) must be prepared for any significant road modification proposals to protect Logan Canyon's natural surroun· dings from haphazard modifications . - Travel speeds between Right Hand Fork and Rick's Spring should remain as currently posted . This area is very scenic and too sensitive to permit any significant roadway modifications. - Bridges which cannot meet structural safety requirements should be replaced when possible. These bridges should be two lanes wide only. Minor alterations to bridge approaches would be acceptable. - Turning lines at Tony Grove Recreation Area and Beaver Mountain Ski Area may be constructed to The Logan Canyon Bulletin is published by Citizens for the Protection of Logan Canyon - a citizens group of volunteers and non-profit organizations working toward long-term protection of Loga n Canyon's scenic beauty, fish and wildlife habitat, recreational opportunities and naturalness . The Jardine Juniper is CPLC's symbol. Located high above Wood Camp recreation area, this ancient and beautiful tree represents Logan Canyon's recreational diversity and unsurpassed scenery. Every few years, the utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) begins a study of Logan Canyon's highway, U.S. 89. The last study in 1979 and 1980 was left uncompleted after highway expansion proponents found strong local opposition to proposed roadway modifications. Since June, 1986, UDOT and Denver-based engineering consultants, CH2M Hill, have been spending over $500,000 to prepare yet another analysis of the roadway. Perhaps one of the Rocky Mountain's most scenic roadways, Logan Canyon's highway provides many people with access to numerous U.S. Forest Service campgrounds and picnic areas, fishing sites , and snowmobiling and skiing trailheads. Throughout the four seasons, a visitor to Logan Canyon can find beauty through these many recreational opportunities or simply by taking the drive from Logan to Bear Lake . The new UDOT study is moving toward the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and this could be the first step toward major alterations in the Canyon . Before an EIS is prepared, public scoping meetings must be held and citizens must be given a chance to present either written or oral testimony on the study areas . facilitate turning traffic . _ Parklng areas should be built near Temple Fork Road and Cottonwood Canyon (near Logan Cave) to improve traffic flow and safety. _ Additional warning signs should be placed along the highway telling motorists about bicycle traffic, pulloffs and pedestrian travel. _ The road should be resurfaced and restriped where required. This will improve through traffic travel and nighttime safety throughout Logan Canyon. _ No cUmbing (passing) lane should be built at the Dugway (between Lower and Upper Twin ~ridges) . A dim bing lane would affeel a very scemc area hy requiring major cut and fill operations with unsighUy retaining walls. _ No rold modifications should alter the Logan River's watercourse since the river is a major recreational resource. Alterations could destroy im· portant streambanks. _ No new roads or major changes to the existing road should be constructed from the Bear Lake Summit to the Bear Lake Overlook.

Traffic data weak By Steve Flint Highway modifications often are justified by using estimates of future traffic patterns based on past traffic trends. However. when Duduating gas prices and changing travel patterns are considered, traffic flow predictions can be an uncertain adventure at best. The Utah Department of Transportation (uDOT) and engineering consultants, CH2M Hill, are using past traffic trends for Logan Canyon predictions. This information does not establish reliable traffic trends for the canyon. Even the consultants are not completely confident about the available traffic data . In a draft technical report, CB2M Hill reports: "Data point scatter and (the) short period of record make(s) it difficult to forecast future (traffic) volumes with any degree of confidence." If traffic data is reviewed on an annual basis, there is no suggestion of an increase in traffic through the canyon. Over the past 13 years, the annual traffic Dow has fluctuated a bit from year to year without any pattern of increase. However, summer traffic during June, July and August shows a different pattern. There is more traffic in the canyon during these months and, for the past few years, traffic has been increasing slightly during these three summer months. Based on past trends of traffic and population change, the most substantial prediction of summer traHic growth is 1.95 percent per year. The presumed need for major highway modifications is driven by this projected increase . During past studies, UDOT has greaUy oVerestimated future traffic predictions. A review of the 1971 and 1979 Logan Canyon highway studies shows that UDOT's official predictions for 1985 traffic rates were 30 to 55 percent above what eventua lly occurred. The current UDOT /CH2M Hill Logan Canyon Study is using an exponential model to predict future traffic patterns. This model soUers from the same mistakes made in previous studies when summer traffic was analyzed . A more realistic model uses linear growth that predicts a smaller increase in summer traffic. This means that acceptable traffic now levels without major highway modifications are possible in the year 2010.

For any highway. safety involves two major Issues - accident rates and accident severity. Yet, accurate accident rates in Logan Canyon cannot be determined because both the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and consultants. CH2M Hill. have refused to complete any comparative studies. This is hard to understand because with its mountainous terrain Utah has many highways comparable to U.S. 89, which runs through Logan Canyon. A comparison of accident rates and severity levels in Logan Canyon with data from Ogden, Little Cottonwood, Provo and Spanish Fork canyons would make sense. ~ITIZENS FOR TIlE PR0TECl10N OF LOCiAN CANYON 3 Logan Canyon Accident Survey T,,"of Accident Speeding a Problem . The collected Utah Highway Patrol information (see box) shows that most accidents are caused by going too fast. And, because of increased speeds, major road improve- ments could increase some ac- cident rates. Safety Studied Twice During the study of accidents in Logan Canyon, two different reviews were completed. First. using data collected by UDOT from 1980 to 1985, engineering consultants CH2M Hill concluded that four of 13 highway sections had accident rates higher than the standard safety guidelines. However, these conclusions were challenged when errors were found in UDOT's rates. When corrected data could not be produced, CH2M Hill decided to use another safety com pari- son method.

Fishing threatened By Bill Helm AS it flows through Logan Canyon , the Logan River provides many opportunities for recreation in a natural and scenic setting. A popular four-season activity along Logan River is fishing . The river is one of only a few Class II trout stream s in Utah . Class II trout streams provide good fish habitat. This lets trout grow quickly to a large size. Road construction activities in Logan Canyon already have damaged the river's fish habitats . Channel straightening and elimination of streambank vegetation have decreased the number of trout from 50 to 90 percent in some locations. Class U Defined To be ranked a Class II trout strum in Utah, a waterway must have many slow and quiet resting and hiding areas with adequate plant cover . This lets fish rest while being shielded from potential enemies. Feeding areas must be nearby with moderate flowing water. Class II waterways also require spawning habitats with medium-sized gravel bottoms in an area of moderate river currenL The bottom must be stable with little or no silt. . ",. Changes Could Hurt Trout Major changes to Logan Canyon's highway could damage the Class II fisheries . If the river is straightened , water speeds could increase beyond tolerable levels for trout. Placing fill on a streambank ' or removing streamside vegetation would eliminate resting and hiding cover. Streamside trees, shrubs, and grass provide food for insects. which trout eat, as well as providing hiding cover fo r trout. Streamside vegetation is valuable for many other reasons as well. It slows overland water runoff while trapping silt. This keeps the river clean for increased and healthier trout populations. Streamside vegetation also screens anglers [rom the highway while providing a wilder and more natural outdoor experience . This vegetation allows passing sights and sounds to be muted or even eliminated . While important for fish and fishermen alike, streamside vegetation provides habitat for birds and mammals who live along rivers. It also anchors streambanks. This minimizes bank erosion and stream bed shifting. LOGA N CANYON HIGHWAY m,,,, STUDY Changes Add Up " T. "LitUe" changes throughout the river soon add up to one "big" change.

Now that is a pretty tall order for a controversy over a highway . But it was nol so long ago (1968, to be precise ) that a six-mile section of the canyon was reamed and dynamited for what is called highway improvements - that was the section from Dewitt Springs to Right Hand Fork with almost no oPPOsition. In 1961, the lower section was similarly manhandled for the same reason, with even less comment. Now we are waking up, and we are taking a stand that has some powerful implications. We are, I think, starting to see Logan Canyon for what it actually is. We are seeing it, in its beauty and naturalness, as a place to be in, not go through. This is a significant change, amounting possibly to the beginning of a whole different orientation. As Americans, we have always been going somewhere else, always looking over the shoulder of what is around us, never quite being where we are. Now we seem to be settling in, some percentage of us , getting ready to live in place. The world is filling up fast, and perhaps finally we are seeing the well-known handwriting on the wall. We ought to - it is all in capital letters. The beauty is that in staying put for a while, we can begin to fee l the inward sense of place, so that for example the way the sun hits the Wellsvilles on winter mornings, of the way the Logan River looks and sounds, charging down the canyon in spring, becomes an unspoken part of consciousness and nol just views. The allegia nce is natural, literally natural. Suddenly it seems perfectly absurd, something out of a different world, to cut and fill Logan Canyon so that tra vellers between Los Angeles and Yellowstone (or between somewhere else and somewhere else, hut always travellers ) can save possibly two minutes of driving time. That different world is where the money and speed are. It is where " what's happening" is happening . It is that world that sends the three-piece suit brigade to Logan, Utah, all the way fro m Seattle or Denver or even New York to testify against wilderness for Mount Naomi, and that has cut and scraped. the hills by Bear Lake and put second homes sticking up everywhere, and that makes each one of us, possibly, wonder at some time if it wouldn't be nice to have a passing lane on the Dugway between Twin Bridges. That is the world of no place, of placeiessness, of AWatershed Tree ca nopies create roadway tunnels along parts of Logan Canyon. always going somewhere and never anywhere, at taking the landscape around you and converting it into something else, perferahly money , with as little delay as possible. (Then you can take the money and go somewhere else.) That world has had its way for a long time. But it runs on unconsciousness, and now not everyone is asleep. Too late for the San Fernando Valley, and too late for the hills of Bear Lake; but maybe we are still in time for Logan Canyon. There is already a road in it, a paved one even, and it is definitely not the Logan Canyon that the mountain man Warren Ferris saw in 1826 - there were grizzly and big horns then. But as they say, you start from where you are, and this is where we are. -:::----:;-_-:-_ _ ....,._ _-:(Tom Lyon is a professor of English at Utah State University.

Based on the UDOT's average daily traffic data (ADT) for Right Hand Fork, a linear traffic growth model fits the data nearly perfectly (r 2 = 0.975). Such a linear model forecasts lower traffic levels in the future than the seemingly unrealistic expon e ntial model. Average daily traffic at lZLght Hand Fork after widening of lower canyon: Year ADT 2225 2300 2450 70 71 72 73 74 75 Linear model Number of vehicles/day - -3817 + (86.43 x year) 2500 2550 2670 ~ We were unable to obtain ADT's from the UDOT for 76,77, or 78; they were said to not be available. The ADT's reported for Right Hand Fork are actually for the Logan River Bridge just below the section of road in question. Between this bridge and the narrowed roadway is the junction with the Right Hand . Fork road, which leads to a youth camp, Forest Service campground, and major hunting and snowmobiling grounds. Our observations on a July weekend afternoon (high volume) suggest that about 5~ of the traffic at the bridge actually comes or goes on this other road. The ADT projections should be scaled down 5:t from those based on ' traffic at the bridge. In the projections of the UDOT, the Design Hourly Volume (DHV) is . not a constant ratio of the Peak Hourly Volume (PHV). varying from 1.22 to 1.40, depending on the year. This needs to be explained. j �Critique, p. 2 In summa,ry, we recorrrrnend that the Federal Highway Administration not grant permission for this project before the need for it is first documented via realistic traffic projections. These should embody all recent ADT's (after lower canyon was , widened) and a realistic growth model which takes into account the projected availability of fuel for 1 I motor vehicles. Projections for the highway section in question should be 57. less than those at Logan River Bridge. A constant ratio of DHV to PHV should be used, and its absolute value justified. 1 1 These considerations could well postpone the time at which the capacitj of '1 , the existing alignment (including a new surface on it) would become I inadequate. i \ I r i I 1 i 1 j �]T . / TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN LOGAN CANYON, 1970-77 The Utah Department of Transportation (UDT) has concluded the unimproved sections of the Logan Canyon highway are especially dan gerous. This conclusion has b~en advanced as one of the major reasons for undertak i ng an improvement project for section 3 and part of section 4. This conclusion is not supported by an analysis of the currently availabl~ data. Complete data for the period (70-78) has been requested from UDT but not yet received. The UDT decision is based on data published in the report, "Preliminary Proposals and Alternatives. SR-13 (US-89) Logan to Garden City," District one Office, Utah Department of Transportation, February, 1977, and some recent updates (included as inserts for the report). In addition, an independent studY) "Accident Statistics, Logan Canyon and Rich County, 1976-77" by Utah Highway Patrolman L.D. Langford, has been made available(included). The following analysis is based on these reports. I. Errors and Discrepencies ·1. There is a major discrepenci between the accident rate data presented in the UDT report, graph p. 39 insert, and the traffic volume data) dt-athT- 2 p. 2Z. Using the accident rate of 6.1 accidents/million miles for section 3 for the period 1970-77 (graph, p.39 insert) and the length of section 3 (5.1 miles) the average daily traffic (ADT) may be calculated, given the total number of accidents in this section (120): AOT = l2Q x 10 6/ 6.1 x 365 x 7 = 150"9.5 VPO (vehicles per day). From table T-2 of the UOT rep6rt (p.28) ADT for section 3 varies from 2225 VPD (1970) to 2888 VPD 1977 festimated from 1975 by adding 4% increase· per year, as suggested by the UDT). Clearly, the 1509.5 VPD figure does not agree with the data of Table T-2. If, instead of 1509.5 VPO, an aver~ age figure for the period of 2549 VPD~ an accident rate for section 3 may be calculated: Accident rate = 120 x 10 6/ 2549 x 365 x 7 x 5.1 = 3.61 accidents/million miles. This accident rate, 3.61, is lower than the Utah State average for the same period (3.9, as seen on the graph on p. 39 insert). Therefore, either the data of table T-2 is wrong, or the accident rates used by UDT "" in the graph ofp.39 insert are grossly inflated. !f the accident rate for section 3 is, in fact, 3.61, this section : is not dangerous. Since this section has the highest rate, when similar calculations are made for the other sections it appears the Logan Canyon highway is much safer than most roads in Utah. 2. The accident rate for 1977 calculated from the La ngford study is not in agreement with that reported for the same year in the UOT graph (p.39 insert). The Langford report covers a slightly longer section (Zone II) (8.27 miles) and the data must be corrected slightly for this; this correction, however, has no significant effect on the result. Using the Langford data for · Zone II (Right Fork to Cattle Gaurd above Ricks Springs), the accident rate may be calculated (Langford report, p. 16): accident rate = 4.84 x 10 6/ 365 x 2797.6 (ADT) =4.74 accidents/million miles: Clearly, this is considerably lower than tile 7.2' value used by UOT (graph p.39 insert), and gives considerable support to the calculation in 1. above. �/ ,/ ,/ Again, this rate (which is the high est for any Zone of Logan Canyon in the Langford report) indicates Logan Canyon highway is relatively safe. II. Doubtful and Er roneous Conclusions 1. Using the data of UDT graph, p.39 insert, for accident rates for various sections of the Canyon, the question must be asked whether this distribution is si gnificant or is it, in fact, si m ply due to random variation. This question may be answered by a relatively si m ple statistical test, the chi squared test for nonnal distribution in a set of data. If there are no differences betw een sections with respect to accident rates, then all should have the same, or the average for all sections: x: ~'xi/n , xi: accident rate for each ,section, n= number Qf sections(7). x = 4.107 accidents/million miles {/?~ ch i sq ua re (7\ ) / = (( x. 1 - 2 X-) / n- 1 = 3.390 Using a chi sqare table at 6 degrees of freedom, the critical values of chi square are 2.20 at 90 % and3.45 at 75%. The calculated value for the data (3.390) indicates the probability of this distribution being random is between 75 and 90%. In other words, the distribution of the graph on p. 39, UOT report indicates there is only a probability of 10-25% of the apparent differences in accident rates for the various sections being real. The conclusion therefore, that section 3 is significantly more dangerous than section 1 or 2 (already improved) is not valid. To base a decision to improve this section on such unlikely probabilities is , at the very least, highly questionable. ' 2. On p. 40 of the UOT report, it is stated a definite relationship exists between volume of traffic and accident experience. This may be tested statistically by plotting the data of the table on p.23 of the report (traffic volume by month) against the data of of the table on p. 41 (accidents by month). It is assumed the traffic volume data distributions for 74-75 are the same as for 71-75 (since all data are normalized to percentage distributions by month, this assumption seems highly teasona~le): Thi~ plot sh~uld.be a . straight line, and the coef!icient of determlnatlon, r , for thlS llne, lS a meas~re of the correlatlon that does in fact exist between the two variables. This calculation from the UOT data gives: 2 ; , r = O. 37 . 2 2 For a 1/1 correlation, r : 1.00, and for no correlation, r : O. Anything less than about 0.9 is statistically suspect. The actual value, 0.37, is indicative of a very poor correlation at best. The conclusion that traffic volume and accident rates are correlated m ust be regarded as quite unlikely. Since this conclusion is used by uor to justify the project ( wider highway = less congestion by spreading out the traffic of high volume' periods ' = fewer accidents), it app ears UOT is grasping at straws in a desparate attempt to rationalize the constr~ction. A better conclusion would be that the safest time to travel the canyon is during periods of high volume. J �/ / TIle same calculation may be made from the data for 1976-77 from the Langford Report, normalized to percent (Langford Report, p.12), assuming the traffic volume distribution used in the UOT report applies to 1976-77. The result is: r2 = 0.32 Again, a poor correlation between traffic volume and accident frequency ' is found. These results may reflect the fact that road condition in Winter, particularly in the upper canyon (section 3) is more important than traffic volume, a factor not considered in the UOT report. III. Types of Accidents No data is yet available from UOT with respect to typ e of accident in each section. For 1976~77 from the Langford Report, 33% of the accidents in Zone II (section 3 and part of section 4) resulted in personal injury (PI), while 41 % of the accidents in Zone I (sections 1 and 2, improved) resulted in personal injury. This suggests the severity of the accidents in the new sections 1 and 2 is greater than in sections 3 and 4, but more data over a longer period is needed to confirm this. With respect to fatalities and deaths from accidents, the data are (see insert to UOT report): 1970-77 sections 1 and 2 sections 3 and 4 Fatalities 5 4 Deaths 8 4 In view of the small numbers, no statistical conclusions may be drawn; with respect to fatalities and deaths, however, there is no evidence to indicate the improved sections 1 and 2 are any safer than the unimproved sections 3 and 4. IV. Causes of Accidents The single most improtant cause of accidents is speed- traveling too fast for conditions: UOT report (insert) 1970-77 47% Langford report 1976-77 63% While the improved sections 1 and 2 were originally designed for 40mph they are signed for 50 mph. This may account for the higher PI accident rate and number of deaths in .the improved sections. V. Further Analysis UOT officials have promised a complete set of accident sta~istics (available on computer printout) will be furnished shortly. These statistics, covering the period 1970 - 77 will be analyzed with respect to accident rates, type of accidents, road conditions, and other pertinent factors, and the results will be made available as soon as possible, �, / / _III. EFFECTS OF ROAD [3UILD IriG ON THE LOGAN RIVER Utah Departm ent of Transportation personnel have stated that t hey plan to keep the Logan Canyon road as close as possible to the river tom i n i III i ze the s i ze 0 fro a d cut s . This \" ill pro ha b1y res u1tin numerous fills encroaching on the river bank and spillinj into the river. These fills contribute silt to the l' iver via runoff during r a ins to rill s, and bye r 0 s ion 0 f the s lop e b'y the r i ve r its elf. Bot h types are evident on fills created by previous construction at lower elevations in the canyon. Silt in streams creates several problems for the followin~ .re.asons. In general, the larger the size of a particle of soil or rock, ' the hiQher the velocity of water flow required to transport it downstream. Conversely, small particles can be transported by relatively low velocities (see lower curve in FiQure 1). If a silt-sized particle is deposited, because of passing into a region of low velocity or because of bein9 added to the stream during a period of low flow, it will not be picked up again without a velocity of flow above the lower line. If the particle, with others ~hich were deposited with i~ in position so as to becom consolidated, it will take a much e velocity to dislodge it (see upper curve in Figure 1). remains hi~her As can be . . seen the . finest silt and clay materials require rather high velocities to dislodge and transport them once they becom consolidated. e rlonnally in this region the heaviest runoff, and thus m ost erosion, occurs during the spring. Strea ms ap;Jear discolored because of the heavy silt load, hut stream velocities are also hi~h because of �/ - 2./ ./ /" the extra volume of water. Under these conditions silt is nlost apt to be transported downstrRam until · velocity of water flow decreases in a reservoir or marsh. The key to minimum · ~tream damage d~e · to the high transport capability of swiftly flowinQ water. silt is Ourin~ summer and fall volume of stream flO\.; is low, velocity of flO\y is m.inimum for the year, and thus transport capability is low. This is also the season of ·low erosion potential, with fully leaved trees, shrubs, and . grass interce~ting rainfall, and a layer of leaf litter protecting the soil surface in natural or undisturbed areas. Summer storms may cause a small increase in stream volume, but do not add large quantities of silt. Streams remain quite clear. Large road cuts tend to be prone to erosion. vegetative cover sparse. Raindrops from summer storms have a high probability of striking the soil washing them downhill. constructio~ Slopes are steep and surface~ dis10dging particles and Erosion from such areas can besever~. Road or any other activity which produces large expanses of bare earth changes the norn~l pattern of erosion and transoort of silt. The change adds silt to streams at the worst rossible time, during low flow periods. Large, relatively bare slopes \'t'hich result from the t'l'pe of construction being proposed are the source of too much silt to be ·. intercepted and retained by a narrow strip of vegetated land between road and river. If large fills are necessary a broad zone should be left between road and river, but this forces the road into the mountainside, creating additional problems. ~1 uc h oft he bot tom 0 f t r 0ut s t rea n1 sis 9r a vel 0r s ton e s .

Young fish, shortly c1fter hatching, \- ill , seek shel ter beneath and betvleen stones on the bottom. Fish eg0s are deposited in shallow nests scooped into gravel bottoms,.and covered wi th gra ve 1 from ups tream. ~~ here s i 1t has been de[)os i ted the spaces between stones are filled, greatly decreasing the supply of food for trout. Hiding and resting places for small fish are also decreased. Silt in gravel decreases the flow of water through the gravel. Trout eggs require a constant supply of oxygen, available only, from flowing water. r-lo,rtalities of 95-100 percent are to be expected ',..,hen water flow through gravel is impeded by silt deposits. As pointed ,out above ' silt deposited during summer may become consolidated, resisting -removal by all but the highest velocity of flow. Such high velocities are not nonn?lly found prior to brown trout sra\'ming season ' in the fall. Another effect of fills encroaching into the river is the destruction of pools. Trout require areas of low velocity flows for resting, and pools next to the stream bank are particularly desirable. Such ' pools are frequently filled in when road fills encroach on a river. A rarticularly damagin9 effect of fill encroachment is the elimination of vegetation which han9s over the river. provides shade, especially in areas of low velocity trout can rest. This vegetation c u rrents~ where Brown trout require low li]ht intensities a~d slow currents for resting areas. ' In shallow rivers, such as the Logan, " low light intensities are usually found along 'banks \<lith abundant, vegetation hangin~ over the water. Elimination of such vegetation will 9reatly decrease the numbe,r of brown trout inhabiting th~ area. �There is a ~rorosal to chan~ e the location of the road ' in the vicinity of Logan Cave by cutting into the mountainside ~cross the river from the present road, crossing the river for a very short distance, and returning to the old roadbed. oblique by crossin~ ~nstalling This will r~quire an of the river . . If such a crossing is accolilplished a culvert, such a long tunnel may create an impediment to fish movement during spavming seasons. Finally, denuding the area between the stream and road to or very nearly to the river creates an undesirable fishermen~ by conditio~ fillin0 i . for , • > One of the reasons for fishing is to get away from the hustle and bustle of the working 0orld, and seek solitude and quiet. .. ..... i' • Without a vegetative barrier between the river and the road, fishermen are exposed to the sight and sound of passing traffic. This converts fishing from an experience in the wild, to a noisy session next to the highway. From the standpoint of erosive slopes, siltation of the river and scenic considerations, a wide roadbed ,is not acceptable in this canyon. • / r ~ ~ :" '~"~\~~;'::i~" I � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

These priority listings are intended as a tool to be used in the selection and programming of rehabilitation and maintenance activities. Where data concerning the condition of a specific section is needed, reference should be made to the Detailed Data Sheets in Volume I. Final rehabilitation decisions obviously should not be made strictly on the basis of these listings. More detailed analysis should be done to accurately select a rehabilitation strategy. More frequent deflection testing (every 0.1 mile) should be requested where appropriate, and a more detailed distress analysis may be necessary. The following discussions outline the intended use of each printout, • and provides an example of each. �RIDEABILITY RANKINGS Title: AVERAGE RI Description: Sections are prioritized (from worst to best) by the average of the Rideability Indexes*(RI) measured for each mile. (Figure lA) Use: The sections near the top of this listing are the poorest riding sections based on average values. Title: MINIMUM RI Description: Sections are prioritized by the mlnlmum RI value measured within the section. (Figure lB) Use: Identifies sections containing a shortt poor riding area that needs correction t but may be adequate based on the Average RI listing. Title: RI FAILURES Description: Lists sections where the RI has reached th Terminal Serviceability Index (TSI). (Figure 1C) Use: These sections have reached the minimum allowable rideabilitYt and should be considered for improvement. *Note: RI Range Pavement Ride 4.4 to 5.0 3.6 to 4.3 2.B to 3.5 1.9 to 2.7 Very Good Good Fair Poor Very Poor Below 1.9 �F'l;wtE lA ~1t.L1I9 &u ui Av~( 11 ptA '-'u.A.t r -------.,I I $~ry 0" Sc.c.Li.D" (_Ix' ~~ / , STATE IIID£R ROUTE eOUNTY 1 2 !6 51 31 11 S 60 51 4 S 107 37 11 .71 1.46 1.46 .46 2.13 .77 4.38 .77 .42 , 11 57 51 51 51 57 60 7 204 I t 37 39 39 10 ! / .86 P4V~ I ~A~ =- RlP! .!."EE~ "' , lt84 r.------~ LENGTH , I L ~1!:rJ.cl ~._!.... .J It~g IEGINNING TtRMINI JeT SR-Z04 LEFT 40 ST SR-168 SR-l10 SR-126 SR-26 RIVERDALE SR-26 WALL AVE.

(Figure SA) Use: Pavements that are identified with a friction number below 35 should be programmed for a surface seal, and "Slippery When Wet" signs should be posted until the work can be done. Friction numbers between 35 and 45 are considered to be marginal, and above 45 are generally adequate. Pavements with significant rutting can cause hydroplaning during wet weather, which could compound skidding problems when combined with a low friction number. Title: FRICTION MINIMUM Description: Sections are prioritized by the mlnlmum friction index measured within the section. (Figure 5B) Use: Identifies sections containing a short, slippery area that needs correction, but may be adequate based on the Friction Average listing. �FIGURE I VrAAg£ , OlD(R STAn II)UT[ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ., ., ., 10 80 10 8 9 10 !O 1 A LTJ!!L'!.Y.2:A .!!.:... _________ ..J / CNm , Avvuzgt S kg.cJuWLg r--- - - -:--, fAtWtg TtMW. ~,!I.f!~~Y.L~..J Du~rl } ,W , 4S 4S 4S 43 45 45 4S 45 45 45 10 10 10 5 LOUin.

The final index is weighted more heavily toward the structural index where high truck traffic exists. and weights theR.!. value roore heavily where a high ADT (see definitions) is present. (Figure 6) Use : This listing basically identifies the worst overall sections. It also can be used to obtain a genera' indication of the type of rehabilitation (or maintenance) activity which may be needed, since the technique selected should correct all of the existing deficiencies. The final index is intended for prioritization only, and should not be used in any other way since it does not represent any single pavement condition. *Note - Final Index where SU~~RY TABLE = F,(STRUCT) + F2 (DISTR) + F3 (R.I.) = truck traffic weighting factor F, = distress weighting factor F2 = average daily traffic (ADT) weighting F3 STRUCT = structural index DISTR = distress index R.

It’s Monday, May 5th, 2008, and we’re visiting today with Dave Baumgartner on our Logan Canyon Land Use and Management Oral History Project. Dave, I’m going to start off where I usually do and ask you when and where you were born. DB: I was born July 29, 1942, in Salt Lake City. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  1   �BC: Growing up in Salt Lake City, what are your memories of that? DB: A lot of open, abandon farm fields. My dad had a little tiny place with a big chicken coop in the back that he raised a lot of chickens. Then on the rest of the property he grew pansies for sale, and little junipers for landscaping. Behind our house from there all the way to Great Salt Lake were just a few farm buildings and such, so we roamed that country a lot. BC: And who were your parents? DB: My dad’s name is Heber Baumgartner. My mother’s maiden name was Allen. My grandpa came from Switzerland when he was two years in 1898, I think it was. He and his little family are my only relatives in Salt Lake City. BC: Really? Interesting. And then as far as you mentioned the landscape of Salt Lake, do you think that affected your future? DB: You know, ever since I was a tiny kid, I can never remember wanting to be a policeman, fly airplanes, or a fireman. I always wanted to be a forester from as far back as I can remember. That’s what I wanted to be. BC: As a family, did you spend much time in the outdoors, growing up? DB: My grandpa was an arborist and a horticulturist. He was the primary caretaker for Memory Grove, which is just off the hill from the State Capital, for most of his adult life is where he worked, there. And so he was kind of a man of the outside anyway. And so I remember growing up – we didn’t do what I would say is a ton of camping, but we did a lot of it. And we usually fished a little bit wherever we went. We hiked a lot in Big Cottonwood Canyon, up around Brighton, up to the lakes that are, you know, above Brighton there. In those days it wasn’t really busy. [Laughing] Not like it is today! BC: Do you have any special memories of that period at all? DB: You know, not really. It was a happy childhood, we had a good time. Even from our young ages we were allowed to go out in those fields. And we used to hike from my house all the way out to the Salt Lake Airport. They had an old airplane dump out there and we used to fly the old World War II torpedo bomber carcasses that they had laying around in that place! [Laughing] Then we hunted rabbits – I mean there wasn’t anything there, we could walk all the way to Great Salt Lake if we wanted to, but we usually ended up by the Surplus Canal, fish for carp and shot our .22s at whatever wiggled. My folks weren’t extremely wealthy, so we had, you know our, I remember, coal stoves and climbing into the house to get coal to put into the coal cook stove. That’s what heated Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  2   �the house too, for a lot of years. But you know we were just typical kids. We played football, we hiked a lot, broke our bones. Stuff like that. BC: You mentioned that you kind of had the goal to be a forester from a young age – DB: Yes. BC: When did you did you start pursuing that? DB: In high school there were classes that were optional, like botanies and zoologies, and those kinds of things. You didn’t have to take those, but I took them all. I took all the natural sciences that the high school offered. Which was basically those two, and chemistry and a few things like that. I wasn’t very good with chemistry, but the other stuff we were pretty good with. BC: And which high school was that? DB: I went to West High School in Salt Lake City. BC: And from there, where did you pursue your education after that? DB: Utah State University; graduated from there 1969. BC: And that was with a bachelor’s degree? DB: I had a bachelor’s degree in Forestry and also – it’s not a degree, but I took enough extra classes that I also qualified as a watershed specialist or a hydrologist. I wasn’t an engineer hydrologist, but a wildland hydrologist. When I actually got hired by the Forest Service, I was hired as a watershed specialist, not as a forester. I spent three and a half years on the Pike National Forest in Colorado as a watershed specialist. And then I knew that wasn’t where my career wanted to go. I wanted to work on the districts and in the woods, and not in the supervisor’s office. And so I spent my time there, you know, getting acquainted with the Forest Service, but as soon as I had an opportunity to go out to the district I took it. So I lasted there about, a little over three years, and then I went to the Shoshone National Forest in Wyoming. I spent in two places seven and a half years on that forest; three years at Dubois and three and a half in Cody. And then from there we moved to the Sawtooth in Idaho. And I actually spent seven and a half years there. And then I was the ranger here in Logan until [19]’93, and then in ’93 I had to go to the regional office! [Laughing] And I spent, I should put quotes around this, I spent from 1993 until year 2000, I retired at the end of the year 2000. They were fun years in the regional office, they were interesting years, but they were really discouraging years too as you saw the Forest Service begin to unwind as to what it used to be. As to what it once was into what it was becoming, and it was sad to see that change coming. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  3   �BC: Maybe explain that a little more, like you know, what it once was and then what it— DB: Well, when I started with the Forest Service in 1969, through the late 60s and through the early, well even through the 70s – and you’ll recall this – there were many people that made and awfully lot of money writing books on how to run a successful company. Those books were really good books. I was convinced when I read them that if I had an opportunity to lead a unit, and I could use the characteristics that you read about in those books, that we would be more successful than not. The Forest Service in those days was just coming off the peak of its glory, so to speak. Those writers and people in that field of management were selecting on an annual basis, you know, the ten top companies or organizations in the country at that particular time, and the Forest Service, surprisingly not, was one of them. It had a great spirit about itself; there was a great décor about the people that worked there. It was a good job. We enjoyed being out in the woods working with people and all those kinds of things. I don’t know what changed, to be honest with you. We started to bring in more people that were not necessarily forest, range kinds of folks. All the “-ologists”, the specialists that began to come in there in the name of diversity – I wasn’t sure how to react with that, but their attitude about work was different than the people that preceded them. There was not as much of a tendency to work long hours. You know we averaged 9-10 hours a day and never thought about overtime for a second. You’d leave early in the morning to go someplace in the woods that required time to get there and it required time to get home, so you’d get home at 8-9 at night, you know, and it was no big deal. But those employees that started to come in, in my opinion, in that time -- they had a different ethic. I don’t know that you could say they loved the woods -- it was a job in the field that they trained for – but whether it was their perfect job or not, I can’t say. But it did begin to change the Forest Service. One of the traits of really good companies is that most of the operating money is at the ground level, where the work’s done. And you saw a tendency in the Forest Service to start to take more and more of their budget and put them into supervisor’s office, which funded the specialists that all the supervisors thought they had to have. It was a time in the mid-80s when all the forest planning stuff started to become the big emphasis and they all thought they had to have specialists in order to write their forest plans. What was interesting about the forest planning process, in my opinion, is that the Congress never intended the Forest Service, when they passed that law, to get as intense in forest planning as we got. There were times, I recall, when some of the planners wanted us to actually document the number of times we were going to clean an outhouse, that would be part of the forest plan to give us direction. I heard one staff officer say one time, “The reason we’re doing that is because you rangers aren’t getting the job done!” In other words, our campgrounds weren’t as clean as they should’ve been – and that part’s true, but that wasn’t the way to fix it. And so our plan started to get deeper, and deeper and deeper, and it took longer, and longer and longer to get them approved. It was interesting to me that by the time the process got from the start until somebody approved the plan at the end, many years had gone by and the issues had changed! And yet, we Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  4   �were operating with a plan that now wasn’t up-to-date. And you know you just saw our effectiveness being eroded away. People were spending way too much time in the office, doing planning, in a plan that wasn’t going to be current when it actually went out on the street. And so, I guess, a long story short is that it was wasted energy. The issues had changed and the plan wasn’t necessarily addressing what the current issues needed addressing. And yet, you were theoretically bound by the old plan when you needed to be in a different box, and the plan kept pulling you back to this box because that’s what’s written there – but time has changed and you needed to be over this one. And the arguments of trying to get back and forth between what’s real and what was old. I think it was wearing people out. Another interesting thing about that is that, and this again is my opinion, a specialist, when they came to work for the Forest Service (an “ologist” of some sort), with the exception of wildlife biologists (many districts had wildlife biologists, the ended up being an issue by themselves) the specialists in the supervisor’s office had no objectives. They were supposed to advise us in the woods from time to time. You know, we were supposed to go ask their opinion about cause and effect of some management activity we were involved in, and they would write an opinion. Whether we agreed with it or not didn’t matter, we did what needed to be done on the ground. It frustrated them greatly because some of them were more swung to the environmentalist side of things and they saw, timber activity for example, being very anti to the good of the forest. They were often opposed or very restrictive in their comments in how we would go about doing that business. As a side note, despite the fact that we’d been managing timber stands since 1905, all of a sudden, you know in the 1980s we couldn’t do it right anymore. With the caveat that it is true that in the 1960s there was way too much emphasis in the Forest Service and in the political processes for harvesting timber, that’s true. And many ranger districts and people working on their districts did some really dumb things that generated justifiable controversy, and justifiable reaction. The solution wasn’t the right solution. The way we went and tied up our hands so much that you couldn’t manage at all. And many of the “ologists” contributed to that confusion because of their backgrounds and where they came from and so forth, they would’ve been really good Park Service employees because that’s what the Park Service does. But that wasn’t the mission of the Forest Service, by law it wasn’t their mission. It got to the point where it was just a big argument to get things done. The effectiveness of the organization, I think you could plot an accurate curve that shows the Forest Service effectiveness declining as a result of those years. To this very day I’m not convinced, well I am convinced the Forest Service is just another government bureaucracy now, it has lost the prestige and the accuracy and the wisdom that it once had. Now we’re managing by a book instead – forest management is not an exact science, there has to be a lot of intuition and lot of creative thought that goes into managing those woods. When you try to do it from a book it’s not nearly as effective. I listen to a lot of my old compadres that are still working with the Forest Service and I know it’s not the same, and I don’t know that they’re as happy as we once were. It seems to be a struggle. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  5   �Even in the fire organization we used to escape to fires – what a wonderful experience that was! Not that the forest was burning, that’s not the point; but you had one objective, it didn’t matter what you got paid, what your salary was, what your position in the Forest Service was – you went away to a fire and you played a role and you focused on an objective. I might be supervising – at the time I might have been a GS9 [US Federal General Schedule (GS) Classification System], supervising GS13s – you know, the bosses! And I’m their boss on a fire, kind of thing. But nobody cared. That was never an issue! You never had to get out of your chair because some GS13 walked into the room, for example. But that does happen in some agencies, but it never happened in the fire organization. You just went, you did your duty, you put the fire out and you went home feeling good about it. But now they’ve got so many rules that those guys have to pay attention to, and so many checkmarks on a form they have to put on, you know, before they can proceed anywhere. They look at you and they say, “It’s just not fun. It’s just not working.” There are just too many handcuffs put on people now days. Anyway. BC: You mentioned you were the district ranger in Logan. What exactly is a district ranger? DB: This is what made the Forest Service the organization it was. World class organizations, according to the people that study this, only have seven or less line positions -- the Forest Service had four! World class and then some: a chief, a regional forester, forest supervisor, and a district ranger. The district ranger was the number four position in that organizational scheme. Everyone else who worked for the Forest Service, with the exception of the research branch, (in my day – it’s different now – but in my day) worked for one of those four positions. Generally speaking, at the National Headquarters there was the National Forest System (and that’s the side I worked for), then there was a research part that you know, that was an organization separate from the National Forest organization. Then there was a state and private organization that dealt with the laws and what have you that dealt with the government’s assistance to states in forestry kinds of issues. Those three basic organizations had their own organizations. So we’ll just push those two over to the side (the state and private and the research guys, because that’s not what I was) and I worked for the National Forest system side of things, and there was only four people in the chain of command. And everybody else on that side worked for one of those four people. So it was decentralized. As a district ranger I actually had more authority than the superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, in the context that they could not sign environmental documents in the days I worked around the Park. They had to go to their next level to get approval for all of this stuff. You’d ask the ranger, I could sign those documents up to you know, any environmental analysis that was done on a district the ranger had the authority to sign those in those days (it may have changed now today, I haven’t kept track of it), but in those days you know. We wrote the environmental statements and the supervisor would sign those. We had a lot of authority to do the business and it was a very effective way to do business. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  6   �So the district ranger’s responsibility is to, the National Forest system is organized into forests, of course -- the regions forests and districts. There are nine regions (although we have a number ten because that’s what Alaska is but there’s a region missing in there – I don’t think there’s a region seven – anyway, doesn’t matter). The regions then are organized into National Forests. Region four regional office is in Ogden, we don’t need to count them, but I think there’s about 16 or so without counting them up, National Forests attached to that regional office: in Utah, Idaho, western Montana and Nevada. That’s the area of the region. Then the forests are usually organized into, depending on the forest, into four, five or six ranger districts. Each ranger district then has the responsibility of management on – anywhere between 250,000 acres – I was on one district where the district area was a half a million acres. The ranger has the responsibility of the activities that take place on that district. Usually has, depending again on the district size, Logan had three assistant positions: a clerk, an assistant clerk, and some long-term but temporary positions. I think we had three of those. Then in the summer the workforce could expand, depending on what kind of budget was available to 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80 seasonals that would come on and work during the summertime. We had the responsibility of all of that; their welfare, you know, their work assignments, the management planning that took place on the district. We did that. The Logan budget ran anywhere between, 600 to $900,000. BC: Wow. DB: Depending on the year. So you’re responsible for the budget and the money, and how it’s spent and all the physical integrity of all of that sort of thing. If somebody makes a mistake it’s always the ranger’s fault, that sort of thing. BC: [Laughing] When you started in Logan, what year was that? DB: I came here in 1984 as the ranger. BC: Okay. And what was the condition of the forest when you arrived? DB: I followed a dear old man, by the name of MJ Roberts, who had been the ranger here at Logan for nearly 20 years. MJ grew up in a period when the Forest Service was doing some interesting political things that, in hind sight, was probably not the wisest thing for us to do. So it would be easy to criticize that generation for the work that they did, but they did a good job based on the circumstances that they [had] to deal with in those days. The problem was what they left was hard. For example, during the 1960s and 70s, especially in the 1960s – and this carried over into the 70s as well – Congress was not funding the Forest Service as well as they had in the past. The Forest Service’s influence in Congress wasn’t as strong as it had been previous to that, and some of the funds were getting a little short. Congress had different things in mind: timber was one of them, watershed was one of them, and recreation wasn’t one of them. So as a strategy we decided that we wouldn’t put as much emphasis on our campgrounds either. We would let them just go downhill a little bit, and then Congress would recognize they needed to put more money there, and therefore they would! But they didn’t. So by 1984 when I Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  7   �came, the condition of our campgrounds was, they were in pretty bad shape. Our roads were in pretty bad shape; our trails were in bad shape. We were just out doing things, but we weren’t accomplishing a lot. My recreation crews, for example, I discovered – they would go to a campground and they would paint one table, then they would drive 20 miles to another campground and paint one table! We were making no progress and we were going basically downhill on those things. So when MJ finally retired and I had an opportunity to come here, I actually made a promise I would not say anything for six months, until I knew that my premonitions were accurate, and they were. So the issues that we had, especially in Logan Canyon, was the condition of our campgrounds and picnic grounds; the condition of our roads; the condition of our trails were a big concern; off-road vehicle traffic. We were getting about 12 new miles of unauthorized, new trails and roads created every year just by the off-road vehicle traffic. They were going into places they shouldn’t be going to, we had trails starting up all the ridges and up all the canyons that didn’t have roads in them. That was a big concern. And then in Logan Canyon itself we had a horrendous litter problem. I mean it was almost embarrassing to drive up the canyon sometimes and see all the messes that the general public had to look at. It was our responsibility, theoretically, to keep things neat and clean, and we weren’t doing a very good job with that. During my whole time on the district, those five issues drove most of what we were doing, with the exception of one other area that we can talk about later. The other area involved the whole district and not just Logan Canyon. And so with a limited budget and limited people, the great dilemma was, “how are you going to make progress in all of those areas?” That was the great dilemma. Another issue that raised its head, during my tenure there anyway was Logan Canyon highway. That wasn’t an issue when I first started, but right in the middle they decided they wanted to improve the highway for another section. After having put one phase in and then lost on the second phase, I think is the way the history goes, the environmentalists took them to court and the court shut the state down. They backed away from trying to improve the canyon. And then came back while I was there with yet another proposal that got very, very controversial for awhile. Really for some silly reasons – it didn’t have to get that way. We as government workers sometimes don’t make the wisest decisions all the time. So anyway, that’s what we were dealing with -- those five things. I was there for eight and a half years and those issues didn’t change. BC: What role did the Forest Service play in the Logan Canyon, the road highway? DB: Well, probably more than we should have could have or legally could have because the easement for the highway obviously was under the control of the state of Utah and the Federal Highway Administration. But technically once you got outside of the right of way, any impacts to Logan Canyon was an issue to us. We felt very strongly that we should have some input into the plan to improve the highway. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  8   �At the beginning I found out that UDOT was going to propose some improvements to the canyon from the newspaper – they didn’t even call us to tell us. And so they left notice of a meeting, I went to the meeting; I listened to what they were trying to do. When they were finished I walked up to the highway engineer who was a nice, cooperative fellow, and I said to him – his name was Lynn Zollinger – and I said, “Lynn, you’re talking about writing an environmental impact statement on a highway that you only propose to replace three bridges.” (The bridge at Right Hand Fork had deteriorated to the point where they needed to replace it; the next bridge up was too narrow; and then the big bridge at the dugway – I mean if you try to pass a semi truck coming this way, if you remember, and you were not too tight against the edge, mirrors could actually click past each other, it was that tight.) And they wanted to write an environmental impact statement and I said to them, “Why? The bridges are in place, they have to have maintenance. If that’s all you’re proposing, why are you going to spend $500,000 and write an environmental impact statement on something that doesn’t matter?” He says, “What do you mean?” And I said, “You could write an environmental assessment for less than $10,000, and replace those bridges.” And he blinked a little bit and said, “Really? I’ll even volunteer to write them for you.” So they went back to the Federal Highway Administration, and what an interesting experience that was! The Federal Highway Administration, their regional office for this area was in Salt Lake City, and they said to UDOT, “No, by golly! You said that this program was controversial, it’s controversial and you’ve got to write an impact statement!” So I went down there one time and I said to the engineer down there, I said, “If all they’re going to do is replace bridges you don’t need to spend $500,000 of the taxpayer’s money writing a document that doesn’t matter.” And the guy turned to me and he said, “What right does a forester have telling an engineer how to do his job?” [Laughing] And I said to him, “I’m not trying to do that, I’m just trying to save you some time, energy and money.” He says, “No. The state said it was controversial, it is controversial, therefore, and they’re going to write an environmental impact statement.” So they wouldn’t back off of that position. It was their money that the state needed to do the job, of course. So they came back and said, “We’ve got to write the impact statement.” So I told them, and this in hindsight might have been bad advice, I said, “Then write the environmental impact statement for the whole canyon. One project for the next ten years, and then you’ll only have to do it once. We’ll do the bridges, you’ll do passing lanes and other kinds of things that you might think are important and so forth, and it will work fine.” This is the interesting thing. (A side note on what I thought management and the public ought to be like.) I’ll tell you a little bit later on another issue why this is important. We knew the public was interested in what we were doing. And we knew that they were mad at us for not listening to them. So I told my staff, “Folks, we’ve got to go out of our way to talk to these folks and to discuss what the issues are.” So I went to the environmentalists who were opposed to anything in Logan Canyon, and I said, “Folks, they want to replace four bridges. They have to widen them a little bit because they’re deteriorating and we need to do something up with the dugway, it’s just absolutely too Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  9   �narrow.” And they basically didn’t disagree with that, but they didn’t trust UDOT. And so I said, “Okay. If I can get a member of your group to sit on a committee with the engineers that are planning all of this and if UDOT will agree that they will not proceed until they have an agreement in this committee, what will you do?” And they said, “Well if we can have a say and they will listen to what our issues are, we can’t oppose; as long as they’ll be a little bit flexible.” And so we had the solution. Except at the very first meeting where all of these people met, UDOT had hired CH2MHill as their primary contractor, and the CH2MHill engineer who was in charge of the project got up and said, “We are going to make the decisions.” And I thought, “You can’t do that, we didn’t agree to that. You’re going to lose the environmental community if you do that.” And they just would not back off of that. What they said was, “We’ll make the decisions, then you can review it. And if you don’t like those decisions, we can talk about it.” But they were never willing to talk about it in the sense that we could change it. And the environmentalists – they came to several meetings, and then the wall went up and it was not going to be possible to coordinate and to cooperate. We were that close! I had my fingers parted about 3/8 of an inch to having that controversy settled and to get the bridges fixed and then we would negotiate just some passing lanes somewhere. And it went from there to, you know, to the concept, “Well this is a highway, we have to have highway standards. We’ve got to have eight feet outside the white line, even in the middle part of the canyon.” That was the argument that started. We came back with arguments like, “But in Yellowstone National Park they don’t have eight feet on the other side of the white line. You concur that you can do other kinds of things but if you go that way, then you’ve got to fuss with the river again.” That was my biggest concern. I’m a fisherman. When I went to school here at Utah State University, I can remember in one of the classes that we went up Logan Canyon, on the old highway (before the first improvement section was actually done – because they built that just after I graduated) they had a famous hole they called “The Big Hole.” The road kind of looped right around it this way. And in that hole was a 15 pound cutthroat that they’d shocked out of there one day. In those days you could catch three or four pound rainbows and occasionally a large cutthroat and a large brown out of the river. It was a good stream. But when they built that second section, they began to straight-line the river. Their fill slope went right down to the edge in one area, which I’ll illustrate an issue it caused here in a second. But the Big Hole became a controversy in that first phase that they put in there. People were objecting that they were going to run the river straight down the edge of the highway and cut that meander out of the river totally. UDOT finally compromised and said that they would protect the hole. So they built two bridges that they didn’t want to build. The problem was they built the bridge to pass floodwater, but not in a hydrologic-compatible way to protect that corner. What they did was they built a coverted cement box and put the bridge over it. It would allow the river to go through it alright, but it constricted it greatly. So when you constrict water and blow it out the other end it’s going to come out in a great philosophy. And so it came out, was able to pick up the bed load and move it someplace. Just down stream from the Big Hole is the other Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  10   �bridge, which the fast water backs up against and slows down, and then shoots out the other side of it. But while it slowed down it dropped that bed load right in the middle of that Big Hole. And it’s gone. The river goes through there, but the prime habitat that was there for that one big fish, from a 10-15 foot hole went to two feet with water running over it. You know, the fish is gone of course. This cut-slope issue became an issue in about the spring of 1984 when I got here, that winter of ’83-’84 there was a lot of snow in the woods. When the water came out, it came out hard. Well, when the river comes up it spreads out over its little floodplain and there are no issues. We have summer homes here, here and here, scattered everywhere up and down that river, and there was enough floodplain that flooding of those summer homes wasn’t an issue. When that highway slope came down to the edge of the river in some places, and the water had no place to go except off the other side -- where all the cabins were -- we had water going through many of the cabins a foot deep through their front rooms and all that sort of thing. Anyway, we knew those kinds of things were going to be issues; they were issues in the past. And what they had done in the canyon caused some of those issues. We were hoping that we would learn from the past and do better things in the future. But the engineers that were working on that at that time – I’m telling you that they’re good men – but they’re engineers. As a forester I can say this, because there is a controversy between foresters and engineers on who knows best of how to do things. Engineers are good at building things, but foresters have a little bit better sensitivity to the land. If engineers had that same sensitivity there wouldn’t have been a controversy up there. So anyway, through the middle part of the canyon there was attempt to get the road wider and wider and wider. And there’s no place to widen the road in there without massive cuts up the side of the hill and/or straightening out the river or massive concrete bridges that cantilever over the river so they don’t have to do any damage to the stream channel – which they do anyway because the flow’s not the same. That project, for those kinds of reason, just escalated and escalated and escalated until there wasn’t a whole lot of cooperation. UDOT was doing what they would do as engineers. To the credit of some of them though, they knew that there had to be some compromises there and they were working a very delicate balance between the compromises and what the Federal Highway Administration was going to require of them. I felt sorry for them like that, but they began to make decisions in closets and then coming out and trying to justify them in public. If you have time, I’ll tell you why that doesn’t work, and so forth. Bottom line of the long story is that they improved Logan Canyon highway and they did a remarkably good job doing it. Yes, they backed off of some of the things they wanted to do, but they were able to do some of the things that the environmental community opposed, thinking that it was bad, bad, bad. Once it was built you could see that they really didn’t do any damage and they really did improve the highway. We have some passing lanes where there weren’t passing lanes before on some flat country. You know it worked out really, really well. I think the bottom line of all of it is that UDOT was able to improve that highway just about as well as they wanted to and could’ve done. The issue was they could have done it at the beginning, $500,000 cheaper had they just realized that Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  11   �they had a public that was concerned. If they would’ve worked just a little bit differently with the public and listened to them a little bit, responded in a positive way, they wouldn’t have had to spend over $1,000,000 to complete the document. The $1,000,000 would have built all three bridges. [Laughing] And would’ve done a lot to improve their highway, and yet they put it into the paperwork, and then still had to spend the money to do what they probably could’ve got away with anyway had they managed it just a little bit differently. Now I get criticized sometimes for criticizing UDOT that way. I don’t mean to sound critical of them, but I’ve been through the experiences that they contributed in the canyon issue. And I knew what could work and what couldn’t work. The sad thing was is they just couldn’t or wouldn’t listen and respond well enough to allow those kinds of things to work in their favor. So they’ve got big walls built, their thick, hard steel reinforced concrete walls – anything they do in that canyon now they’re just not going to get any cooperation from people that might oppose them automatically because they don’t trust the highway engineer -- which is a shame because like I said earlier, there are some really good people there. They don’t deserve that kind of criticism. But on the other hand, they brought it on themselves just by being too autocratic in the way they did their business. Logan Canyon ended up being one of the most interesting and the most difficult of all the assignments that we had. The Forest Service isn’t clean in this either. The supervisor got tired of UDOT engineers complaining that our district was requiring them to do too many little things. I stood right in the middle of them and told them they weren’t going to do this and this and this, they had to consider this. And they kept asking me what authority I had to do this. I don’t know if I had any authority or not, I just said it. They finally put the Forest Engineer in charge of the Logan Canyon issue and backed the district off a little bit, which I thought was a mistake. It further built the walls a little bit thicker. Our Forest Engineer was able to work with the highway engineers, but so could we. But it was engineer to engineer instead of a different disciplines trying to work out, you know, a “better vision” so to speak. But again, the bottom line is they built what they could have built, they built what they needed to build. They could’ve done that in the beginning had they been a little bit more open with the public, in my opinion, and we would’ve saved the taxpayers several hundreds of thousands of dollars in the process. I think that’s what bothers me the most. I knew they were going to build what they were going to build. And I knew that it was okay, what they were going to do. It didn’t need to cost so much extra money just in the process of getting it approved, in my opinion. BC: You described kind of a process where you tried to get all parties at the table in the beginning of that. Did you successfully use that same system on other, like travel plans, and things like that? DB: Yes. Travel plan is probably one of the things I think the district should be the proudest of all of their accomplishments during the [19]‘80s and early ‘90s. It came to pass in the most interesting way. My whole career goal, for example, I wanted to be a district ranger. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  12   �I didn’t want to be a forest supervisor, I didn’t want to go to a supervisor’s office, I didn’t want to go to the Washington office; I wanted to be a district ranger. I’m not egotistical when I tell you this, and I’m not boasting when I tell you this either, but that’s what I trained for. I read management books that lots of people read, and I read them several times. I knew what it took. I knew what successful organizations did. I knew what successful bosses did. I tried very, very hard – these aren’t my ideas, they’re other people’s ideas – but I was impressed with them enough to think that I needed to try them. Most changes in management styles take three or four to five years to implement. And if you get discouraged in that timeframe and don’t get to the fifth year, they’ll throw them out saying it was a bad idea when it really wasn’t. You just have to be able to stick to it for that long. One of the things that makes an organization successful is their exemplary customer service, I mean they bend over backwards for their customers. The Forest Service customer is the person that uses the woods: the camper, the hunter, the fisherman, the person that drives up and down the road just enjoying the scenery. Another trait is that the boss managed by wandering around. He knew what was going on. He didn’t sit in an office and have people report to him and then make decisions on somebody’s spin to an issue. He was there; he knew what he was looking at. So I spent an extraordinary amount of time in the woods. My supervisor used to get after me, “I want you to this meeting!” “I can’t be to this meeting, I am going over here.” And I resisted going to meetings a lot. And/or when she called on the telephone I was never in the office. And she said, “I know you’re out there doing your duty, but I need you!” I couldn’t do that. Our district motto was “The highest quality money could buy.” And our mindset wasn’t there. That’s why I told you about painting the tables. One in the campground and one in another campground doesn’t make the campground look good. So I knew what the crews were doing and I knew what the people in the woods were thinking, because I went and asked them. During hunting season I would get in my pickup truck and I’d stop at every hunting camp and I’d walk in the hunting camp. Sometimes it was hostile. But this is the way I learned about what I’m going to explain to you here in a second. I walked into a hunting camp one time in Temple Fork. They had their campers parked with their rear ends out over the creek, and they were beating up the bank (not any worse than the cows had done, but you know) they were in the wrong place. I wanted to ask them if they would be really mad if we rocked an area 10-20 feet off the edge of the creek so they couldn’t park quite so close. But before I ever got that out of my mouth, the guy says, “What are you doing here?” And I said, “Well I just came to visit and give you a garbage bag and talk about picking up litter and keeping off-road vehicles on the roads, this sort of thing.” He said, “I want you to know you’re in hostile territory.” I said, “Why is that?” The guy was angry, but he wasn’t mean, you know? And he said, “Let me tell you this story. My family, extended family had been camping in Logan Canyon for 50 years.” (This was in the late [19]80s, so it goes back 50 years from there.) And he said, “A couple of years ago.” (Just before I got there.) “You closed our camping place.” It was just a dispersed spot. They drove down an old road and there was a little flat they camped on every year, three or four, five, six times a year, and then hard during the hunting season. We were closing roads because we were getting too many of Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  13   �them, you know, unauthorized. So they moved to another location and they hadn’t been there two months before a sign went up saying “This area is closed to camping.” They moved to another area and we did the same thing (and this is over just a couple of years). And they moved to another area and we did the same thing. And then they ended up here on Temple Fork. And they said, “If you’re about to tell us that we’re going to move one more time,” he said, “I’m going to shoot you.” [Laughing] But he was kidding! But he was making his point. And I said, “That is really interesting.” And he told me some other families that were having the same issues. And so I went to those families, actually went to their houses, and I talked with them about that. And sure enough they had the same concerns. At that same time we were starting the travel plan process. And we had to identify all the roads we wanted to leave open and all the roads that we were closing. We potentially had 300 miles of road roughly I think we figured out, that we were going to close. We kind of had it in our mindset which ones they were too, because they were all the unauthorized ATV roads. And so when we visited with them, we got the notion (I did anyway) that they would like to have a say in this. The typical Forest Service method of travel planning was we’d go back in the office and the district personnel would draw the roads on the map. And we’d say, “Well leave this one open and we’ll close this one.” Then we’d go to the public and try to justify it. They had no say in it and the first time they saw it on the board was at the public meeting. They would look at it and of course they were opposed; their favorite road’s being closed and nobody could tell them why. So we did it differently. We took our map and we took every road off the district. We just took the whole road system and took it off the map; there were no roads on the district at all. Then we put the obvious main roads back on – the ones that we’d spent hundreds of thousands of dollars putting in and maintaining over the years and our access to the woods kind of roads that would be there no matter what. Then we did something that no other district did as far as I know. We invited the public to come in over a long period of time and we asked them to tell us which roads they would like to see back on the map -with four criteria; and the public bought off on the criteria before we even opened up the process. Any roads you put back on can’t affect water, the streams; it can’t affect vegetation; it can’t erode the soil; it can’t affect wildlife; and we can’t have more than 1.5 miles of road per square mile. And the public said, “Those are fair criteria.” So it was a piece of cake. People walked in the door. The old families that said, “I’ve camped on this spot” (and point to the map) “and drove down this little road, it goes down a rocky old ridge to this little campsite; I would like you to open that road or leave that road open. It’s just one road.” They didn’t care about the rest of the district, just the one road. You went through those five criteria. If there were no issues with those five criteria we said, “Okay.” And they would blink and some of them would say, “You’re kidding!” No! It met the criteria, that’s what we agreed to, so we drew it on the map. By the time eight or nine months had gone by (we left it open that long), we had the road system on the district that most interested the people in the district. That was the important point. I mean, 100% of the public didn’t come in – maybe only 20% came in, but those were the ones that would cause the most issues if an issue were to be had. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  14   �Rudy Lukez – do you remember Rudy? BC: Um-hmm. DB: Rudy who was the local Sierra Club leader? Worked with us day and night on that thing. I respected Rudy a lot, he was fair. And when we got to the end of it and said, “Rudy, this is what it looked like.” He had no argument except for one little motorcycle track around Logan Peak. He said, “I want you to close that,” and I said, “Rudy, why?” “Well because--” the criteria comes to effect, it doesn’t affect any of those kinds of things. The folks who ride a motorcycle do need a place to go. And he reluctantly said, “Well, perhaps. But don’t be surprised if I don’t appeal your plan.” Anyway, there was a little idle threat there. So we said, “Okay Rudy. You do what you need to do.” We published that; put it out to the public. We never had one appeal on it, not one, not even Rudy. We were just tickled to death! I mean, the process worked! You listen to the public, you respond to them in ways that are positive. If you can implement some of their ideas and kind of work with them on some of their concerns, they’ll support you. And they supported us. We didn’t get one appeal. Every ranger district around the Logan District: Montpelier District, Ogden District – eight, nine, ten, 12 appeals apiece; takes months and months to get them all resolved. Then you’ve got a travel plan that’s still controversial because people still aren’t supporting you. They tear your signs out, they drive behind the barriers anyway because nobody’s going to tell them what to do. We had a minor problem with that on the ranger district here in Logan. Some of our signs did come out on a regular basis, but we made it a priority that this is one of our important things – the travel plan was – if it’s going to work we’ve got to enforce it fairly. So we all carried signs in our trucks with us. We all knew which roads were supposed to be open and closed and if the sign was missing we put one up. The first year we probably lost one a month, the same sign every month on a road. The next year we might’ve only replaced it twice. By the third year we weren’t replacing them at all. The public was beginning to support us. Most of the activists in the valley were supporting us, in their club meetings and stuff they were telling people that they needed to behave and so forth. And it was working. We were really proud of the way that it was working. If you were to interview Garth Barker, for example, I think he would say (maybe I’m being too bold in saying this), but I think he would say that during that timeframe they were comfortable and very, very pleased with what that process did for them, and were really comfortable with it up until about maybe 1995-96 when one person on the Logan District said, “We are going to review the decisions in the travel plan and the Forest Service will do this process and then we’ll take it to the public.” And I can remember Garth writing in the newspaper, or somehow I heard some background on it, “no, that’s not we agreed to.” And the Forest Service did it anyway. And they’ve been gradually losing the public ever since which is sad to me because it doesn’t have to happen but it is happening. Anyway, that’s the travel plan thing. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  15   �BC: Seems much more contentious now when you read about it in the paper. DB: Oh yeah. The walls are very, very deep and they’re very, very thick. Cross-country skiing and snowmobiling are two controversial things that occurred even during that time there. I knew it was an issue, I came from the Sawtooth NRA [National Recreational Area], and just before I got there snow machiners and cross country skiers were having a hard time getting along with each other. Somehow, (I don’t know who organized the meeting) they came together and they made some agreements that worked for them. The snow machiner needed early snow and the early snow of course is in the high country. But once it snows up on the Sawtooths, the whole valley is full of snow and the snow machiners can go anywhere and they agreed to back off the high country when sufficient snow was in the low country. Then the cross country skiers (there were a lot of downhill cross country skiers in those days there) would be able to ski off the road edges and down to the road below and drive back up and do their thing. You know, it worked marvelously. So I knew they could get along. And so we already had wildlife closures in the travel plan and they weren’t controversial they were protecting a few elk winter areas and the snow machiners knew that was realistic and it wasn’t an issue, they could get around them without a problem. Bunchgrass wasn’t an issue in those days because we wouldn’t let it become an issue. The cross country skier wanted the snow machines out of Bunchgrass. But no, the cross country skier was there before you guys were and you still can get off and out of their way. In fact you ski up their track and you ski down their track. But they’re not going where you’re going so we’re not going to worry too much about that right now. But the maintenance shed area was controversial. They were not getting along very well there. And I had both groups come into my office, not together but one at a time, and complain about the other one. I told them, “You’re not going to make this into a controversy and you’re going to have to get along because I’m not closing it to one way or the other, for these reasons: the snow machiner goes up the road, up to Swan Creek and back and that country up in there, and they basically make a track for you to get to the deep, powdered snow on north slopes that you can ski down without – the snow machine can’t go there because it’s too soft, they don’t like to go there. They’re going to do the south slopes. Except for the day after a storm, the south slopes are going to crust over two or three days in bright sunshine and it’s hard to ski south slopes on cross country skis, as the technology was in those days. And the snow machine guys are just doing their thing. They’re looping, looping, looping and climbing high up on the hill and having a good time and coming back down. And both of you are using the same country but you’re not in each other’s way. Is that not true?” Well they had to admit that. “Well we don’t like their smell and we don’t like their noise.” Be that as it may, it’s not really an issue because they’re not in the same place anyway. So I wouldn’t let it become an issue, and it didn’t. I feel bad that it is today, it’s a major issue today. And so is Bunchgrass a major issue today. But in my opinion, the reason it is is because the Forest Service again made the decision without talking to their public first. They tried to make a decision and then go sell it, and that is the worst way you could ever do anything in the Forest Service. If a Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  16   �ranger makes a decision and tries to sell it to the public without any public involvement, that’s what he’s calling public involvement – he or she. That’s not public involvement. That’s telling people what you’re going to do and they have no input in it. If it is gets controversial you may not carry it out, but you also won’t implement good things that people could enjoy if it were otherwise. BC: I’m kind of curious; you talk a lot about the interface with the public. When you were becoming a forester and went to school was there any education on how to do public management? Because it seems like that’s a big part of the job now. DB: It’s a major part of the job and no, you know we came out of school as technically trained foresters. We were going to go to the woods and manage timber and wildlife – if you were a wildlife biologist – and cows and sheep and goats. But not necessarily people. If you were a forest recreationist and had a degree in forest recreation from Utah State University you had more of that kind of training, but you were also designing campgrounds and people flow patterns and trail maintenance standards and stuff like that. BC: How about, were you here when the Utah Wilderness deal went through--? DB: Yes, yes I was. BC: And— DB: I came after the negotiations were mostly done and just before the law was passed. BC: So how did that process, was it similar kind of -- ? DB: Again, it’s one of those sad examples of the public and the Forest Service not being able to talk to each other in a positive way. The boundary for Mount Naomi wilderness, for example, is in some places is not a manageable boundary. It has too many little wiggles in it to say that it’s wilderness here, but then the next little squiggle in it it’s not and then it’s wilderness, and so forth. And all the little cherry stems they put up the canyons, you know, so you can drive to a trailhead deep inside the wilderness that comes down both sides of the cherry stem. I was in one meeting with Tom Lyons (who represented the environmentalists at the time) and we were talking about a boundary in Green Canyon, down by Logan. The boundary comes down the Logan Canyon-Green Canyon ridge in a very narrow little stem that comes west towards Logan from the main part of the forest. In places you could almost throw a rock from the wilderness boundary to wilderness boundary. The forest supervisor and I were meeting with them in a meeting one night. The forest supervisor was trying to convince them that, “Let’s just draw the boundary across that little cherry stem and not worry about it.” And Tom would not buy it for a second. He said, “No, we agreed on ‘x’ number of acres for the wilderness. If we cut that out we lose 5,000 acres and we’re not willing to do that.” But he said, “It’s not manageable.” And Tom said, “You see all those trees” (picture Green Canyon, have you been in Green Canyon? So Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  17   �you know on that north slope as you drive up the canyon that you’ve got a cliff, some trees, cliffs and trees, cliffs and trees as it goes up that north-facing slope.) Tom was convinced that we were going to go cut those. I said, “Tom there’s not even any way we can put a road up there, even if that were a possibility.” He said, “No, we don’t trust you. You’re going to cut those so we’re not going to deal with you on this boundary change.” It was no big deal, we didn’t push it beyond that meeting and congress passed it the way the map was drawn and we’ve been dealing with it ever since. It’s a little interesting because, in my opinion, wilderness should be wilderness. You shouldn’t have a road in wilderness that Richmond city, for example, can drive their pickup trucks over to get to a well-developed water system that’s inside the wilderness boundary. To me that doesn’t seem wilderness-y. Or to have a road that goes so far up the middle of it for, you know, for whatever reason. But that’s the way it was passed so I guess that’s what we deal with. I don’t know if it’s one of the first, but it’s one of the early wildernesses new in the 1980s that did have those little extenuating uses allowed inside the boundary; mostly for municipal water systems. Some miners had access to patented mining claims inside the wilderness (not ours, but you know, others). BC: And then the other big issue that came along during that period was the STLA Lands? DB: Yeah, that came after I left. BC: After you left? Okay. DB: We were involved a little bit in the beginning. I took the Seth Allen (who was then the Cache County – what do they call it?) BC: Commissioner? DB: No he wasn’t a commissioner. He was what Lynn Lemon, the executive – BC: The county executive, that’s right, yeah. DB: Yeah. Seth Allen was the county executive and we toured the country a few times talking about those kinds of issues. But I left before the decisions were made to change them around. But you can ask – what I thought about them? [Laughing] BC: What did you think about them? DB: It’s very efficient to block up ownership so you don’t have the state sections inside the National Forest. If you can eliminate those kinds of things it just makes management for both agencies a lot easier. But the way it came to pass, you know, the political-ness of the Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  18   �thing was a concern to me because the state’s objective is to use state lands to make money; which means that if summer homes made them more money than cows then they would develop summer homes. Or if there was a mine, some minerals, they would be a lot more open to managing the minerals because it generated funds for whatever fund benefited from that activity. And being in National Forest ownership I think we had a little bit better handle on making forests, forests and not open to golf courses and you know, more recreation cabins and so forth. So I was a little disappointed that something different wasn’t done around Beaver Mountain. We weren’t ever going to allow condominiums and that kind of development to take place up there. But with the state now in control of that stuff it can be a possibility, I’m not saying they’re thinking like that. But it’s a possibility. We wanted to purchase that 400 acres at the mouth of that highway that goes up to Beaver Creek. On the south side of the highway there’s 400 acres, 440 acres I think, of private ground in there. We wanted to pick that up really bad just to keep the urbanization of Logan Canyon to a minimum. I believe the county ordinances won’t allow much development in there right now, but of course they can change. I just think it would be sad to drive Logan Canyon and all of a sudden have to drive through a community, you know. That’s my opinion. BC: The other thing I wondered about – it seemed like in the early 1980s is the time period you saw a lot more women moving into the Forest Service and U.S. Wildlife Service and stuff. Did that happen with you and how was that change accepted or? DB: Well it wasn’t just women, it was women and minorities and specialists. All three of those were kind of in the same box, so to speak. I think that’s an interesting question and my answer is probably somewhat biased. I believe that the forester, whether it is a man or a woman or a minority, it’s not what they were, it’s what they are: a forester. Most of the foresters in the Forest Service, range conservationists as well, at that time were white males. It’d been 80 years getting to that particular point and to suggest that we automatically change the agency overnight to be this marvelous balance was 1) in my opinion, not fair to those people who’d already spent 15, 20, 30 years working and growing and learning and were most qualified for some of the leadership positions (not in every case, but generally speaking their backgrounds would allow them to take the next step up the ladder, so to speak). And to be replaced by a woman or a minority that had been in the service for five or six years didn’t ever seem fair to me. They didn’t have the experience; they didn’t have the background and so forth. So I had some fairly strong concerns about that. A forest supervisor came to me one day and said, “I want you to take one of your GS3 summer positions, and I want you to fill it with a minority.” And I told the supervisor I wouldn’t do it. He’d never been told that before, I don’t think, because the look on his face was of quite surprise. But what I had working on the Logan District at the time were people that had been on the district for a minimum of 10 years and many had been on for 15 years. And I wasn’t about to take that kind of an experienced person and put them out Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  19   �to pasture to tell them when they came back from whatever they were doing that they didn’t have a summer job because I was going to put a minority in that position, I couldn’t do it. I wouldn’t do it. But I told the supervisor, I said, “But you watch this district and I’ll bet you within a year we have a better percentage than any other district on this whole forest.” Because I knew the staff was working in that direction. They were picking up people that were qualified that would help the district succeed, not meet some quota. And yet at the end of the year we had a higher percentage of women and minorities working on our district than any other district on the whole forest. And we weren’t forced into it and we didn’t wave our red flags to see how great we were (whereas some of the other rangers were getting points for all of the attention they paid to that). We spent our time focused on the woods. And we hired people that could help us meet those objectives. And if a good young lady or a minority of any kind were qualified to help us do that we sought them out and we got them and we did get them. They liked working for the district. Then our percentages were higher than anybody else’s. And you know what? We never got one ounce of recognition for that. BC: Huh. [Laughing] DB: But we didn’t care. That’s not what we were seeking. We knew it was the right way to go. We knew it was the right thing to do. People needed to have opportunities to grow. They need to start somewhere, and we were willing to give them an opportunity to start, but it was on our terms not on somebody else’s quota. But it worked. I was really proud of the staff and the way they went about that. We had Native Americans, we had women. It was cool. BC: I had a couple of questions going back to when you went to school here at Utah State University. Who were some of your favorite professors when you were there? DB: I laugh because when I started forestry school, I started in 1960, and I went one year and I went on an LDS mission and came back in 1963. In 1960 there was Doc Daniels and Ray Moore – the two famous professors. When I came back there was still Doc Daniels and Ray Moore, Carl Johnson (and a few other names that I could think of but I’m not) there; a very small faculty and not very many students. And so we got to know Doc extremely well and we got to know Ray extremely well, really well. And then you can’t help but thinking back on those days about those two old rascals. Yeah, they were good guys. Doc was harder than nails. He was a hard professor. Unless you were extremely articulate and absolutely perfect he gave very few “A”s. But he loved us and then we respected him a great deal too. We knew he cared about us he just wanted us to perform the levels that we sometimes couldn’t reach! [Laughing] But Ray Moore was my advisor, I think for most of the whole time I was in school. I got “C”s out of Doc Daniels until all of the required subjects were over and then he taught some other classes that weren’t required and I took them anyway because they would help us in our background. And I got “A”s in those. He said, “If you’re dumb enough to take me after three years of silviculture” he said, “I can’t help but give you an ‘A’!” [Laughing] Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  20   �So anyway, those are the two guys I remember the most. There are others but those stand out. Both have gone now too, haven’t they? BC: Um-hmm. What about any influential writers or books you’ve read that stand out? DB: Gifford Pinchot wrote a book on the Forest Service; I’ve read that book twice. That’s probably the most influential book I’ve read about the philosophy of the Forest Service. It focused my mind on certain principles. But other than that, you look at our text books; they were all (let’s see I don’t even remember the name of them now. I remember the titles but I don’t remember who the printer was). I can tell you they were red books with the tree symbol on the front of them and they were the technical manuals that we all used in those days. I still have some copies out in the garage somewhere I think. But as far as books go, you know influence goes, I was more influenced by the writers of management systems; what makes good companies good companies and what makes good leaders good leaders – than I was by the books we were exposed to while we were in school. I’ll tell you one story though that’s interesting to me, that helped shape some of my background thinking too. When I graduated, as I said earlier, I spent three years in Colorado Springs doing watershed studies basically. The Forest Service had a lot of watershed money in those days, and I’m glad because I got hired off that money. I walked all over Pikes Peak for three years just doing type lines around vegetative cover types and so forth. But when I finally got back to the district I was assigned to the Dubois District on the Shoshone National Forest. Now I was the main timber sale administrator and I’d never administered a timber sale before let along read a timber sale contract. And yet I was dealing with Louisiana Pacific, 50 million board feet supply lines – 12, 20, 30 million board feet timber sales – and I had no clue what was going on there. The ranger at the time, his name was Harold Wadley, a legend in the Forest Service. That man could get more things done than anyone I ever knew! He convinced United States Plywood and then Champion Paper that they weren’t going to get 30 million board feet off the Dubois District anymore, they were going to get 1.8 million board feet and they did it without complaint. He was a marvelous guy. I told him one day, I said, “Harold, I have never administered a timber sale.” He said, “Doesn’t matter, I’ll tell you what to do.” He said, “You just go up to the woods and you take your crew stick and you measure stumps.” I said, “Measure stumps?” The contract required a stump height of 12 inches – you can’t be any higher than that, you can be lower. And he said, “You’d be surprised what happens.” So I went up there and I kicked the stump and I’d put my ruler by it and I’d measure it and I’d wonder on. I had no clue as to what I was doing. But later I discovered that the skid trail lines were now straight and on the line they were supposed to be, the roads being built where they were marked. The loggers were dropping things so that they could skid them out without knocking all the other trees over. And I would come back and it would be a mess and I’d start kicking stumps again and everything would just smooth out; a wonderful lesson. I remembered that ever since. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  21   �But I had marked a spruce stand one day. About 30 acres worth and this old logger had been sawing trees for probably 50 years – asked me one day to eat lunch with him and I said, “Sure.” After a little while he said, “Would you mind if I told you something?” And I said, “No!” He said, “I understand exactly what you did with these spruce trees, but I can’t cut them down. And the only way to get them to fall so that the cut off tree doesn’t fall on somebody unexpectedly is I have to go over to this next tree. I have to cut it and drop it into that clump of trees that you marked and knock everything down, including the good trees. And that’s not what you want.” And I said, “No, that’s not what I want.” (Just as a little background – spruce can grow as individual trees or sometimes they’ll grow in clumps. And if they grow in clumps, the outside trees are all wind firm but the inside trees aren’t. So if you cut out the outside trees the inside ones all fall down or blow over in the wind. So I marked all the inside trees to leave the wind firm ones on the outside. But the wind firm ones on the outside held up the trees on the inside and they wouldn’t fall down.) So he said to me, “Can I make a suggestion?” And I said, “Sure.” And he said, “Why don’t you just mark the whole clump, and then don’t mark the next clump, and so forth. And then you’ll still have that scattered tree system about here. They’ll all stand up. I can cut the trees down, we can get them out of here and we won’t do any damage.” And I thought to myself, “What a marvelous idea!” I’d never thought of that. And so that’s what we did and it worked out fine. Six months later from Colorado State University the main Forest Service researcher in Engelmann Spruce management came out with what was a brilliantly written marking guides for Engelmann Spruce. And guess what his suggestion was for clumpy spruce? Almost word for word with what that old man told me. BC: [Laughing] Maybe he talked to the same guy! DB: I don’t know! But I learned a great lesson from that old man. You know, there are people around here that know a lot more than you do, even though they haven’t been to college and you would do well to listen to them. That set my thinking about listening to the public too, in that point in time. BC: Um-hmm. DB: One short, other example. In Logan Canyon at Rick Springs, we used to have a flush toilet there. It was a big pain in the neck because the water system wouldn’t deliver reliable water supply. So it was always shut down and then people were relieving themselves in front of the doors and behind it, you know. It was just a stinky mess. And so the engineers came back to us and said, “Well, your water system doesn’t meet state standards and so we’re going to spend $75,000 to put a new water system in.” And I said, “You’re going to what?!” $75,000 of the taxpayers’ money to put an inch, basically inside diameter water supply to an outhouse that is broken down more than it functions! I said, “I don’t think we should do that.” Well the engineers thought that was their decision Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  22   �and not mine. I told them, “No it’s not your decision, it’s the district’s decision and we don’t necessarily think that’s what you ought to do.” So I went up there one day to ask the public what they thought. “If we tore that toilet out,” was the question, “what would be your response?” And the only two people in that parking lot were two ladies laying on top of their car sunbathing, scantily clothed. The kid with me said, “You’re not going to go up and ask them that question, are you?” I said, “Certainly I am!” So I went up there and I knocked on the side of the door and of course they jumped up startled and looked at me and I had my uniform on and stuff and they said, “Uh, what did we do?” “Well you didn’t do anything; I just want to ask you a question.” So I asked them the question. And there in all of their suntan glory said, “No, we don’t think you ought to do that. It seems like it’s too much money for what it’s worth.” So we asked a few other people around. Most of the local don’t use that. What it was used mostly by were the bus companies on tour from Salt Lake, or wherever they’re coming from, going over to Bear Lake and then on over to Yellowstone. That was just a stop. So we didn’t ask them, but we tore it out anyway and we never heard a word and we never spent $75,000 of the taxpayers’ money putting in a water system that probably wouldn’t work anyway. Anyway, so that’s kind of the way we managed the district. We went out and asked and if somebody had a better idea than we did we would implement the idea. And it really confused people. They didn’t think that a government agency would listen to anybody but we tried really hard to do so. BC: One quick question on the fellows name Wadley? How do you spell that? DB: Harold Wadley was W-A-D-L-E-Y I think was the way they spelled it. Wadley. BC: Okay. That will help when we transcribe it. DB: Yeah. He was an interesting guy. He was a super patriot! Took leaves of absence and fought in Korea and then in Vietnam. And he was wounded badly in Vietnam but it still never slowed him down any. He couldn’t raise his (I don’t remember which arm it was), he loved to hunt, but he couldn’t raise a gun up anymore so he shot it from the hip! [Laughing] BC: And then somebody had mentioned that you were involved in trying to have some of the summer home leases pulled, or? DB: Yeah. When I got here – not generally the whole bunch, but when I arrived in 1984 a cabin at what we call Red Bridge (which is half way between Stokes’ Nature Center and Second Dam, there was a cabin at Red Bridge). Now the kids use it – there’s a big rock behind where the cabin was and they use it to rock climb and practice on it now. But it was owned by a guy by the name of Chase Peterson from Tremonton. And ten years before I got here Chase had signed an agreement that he would give up his rights to the cabin. It was in the wrong place. You know that trail went right through his front door Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  23   �almost, that’s up there now, and the public and he were having a few problems and so forth. He agreed to give it up. So I happen to arrive the spring that the ten years were up. So the decision had already been made to take it out. But Chase didn’t think that the Forest Service would go through with it. I don’t know if I was being unreasonable or not, but I mean he agreed and so we said we were going to take it out and there was no room to renew it. So come June or July that year he was supposed to go, he wouldn’t go. He was supposed to go, he wouldn’t go. He went to the Regional Forestry, went to the Forest Supervisor. Bless the hearts of those two men, they backed up the district’s decision. So Logan City was fussing with their water line at the time and agreed to take a ‘dozer up there and knock it over and put it in a dump truck and take it out to the dump. The day we’d planned to do that Chase shows up and stands in front of the bulldozer. I mean he’s an older guy! BC: Yeah. DB: So we went up there to try and negotiate the situation. Of course he’d called the newspaper and the newspaper was there. I believe they had a picture of me standing on the guard rail with one foot up on the guard rail and my head hung down like this and Chase jabbering in the background. Eventually we tore it down that day and it left and so did he, and that was the end of the controversy. The summer home issue and the Forest Service is interesting in my opinion. Way back in our history there was a fairly political debate as to who should be the recreation supplier in the country: the Park Service or the Forest Service. The Secretary of Interior wanted the National Forest for recreation and of course the Secretary of Agriculture wanted the National Forest for the multiple uses that it was supposed to provide. And so in order to compete with the Park Service, the Forest Service got in the recreation business. We built campgrounds and summer homes were one of the recreational uses that were permitted on the forest at that time. A number of National Forests across the west especially have summer home groups, some have many of them (like we do in Logan Canyon, you know, not top to bottom but there are several summer home groups in there). That’s where they came from. Their fees were very minimal. They were only recreation cabins; they couldn’t establish a residency in them, etc., etc. Although over the years many have tried. But as government has seen in our lifetime experiences, different ways they can make money, they’re looking at summer home groups to say, “Well, their fees are way below market value and so we’re going to raise them up.” And every time that comes it causes a major controversy. They go to the congressman, the congressman come down and beat on the Forest Service, you know, it’s like rabbits. They go through this cycle where there are a lot of them and then it’s quiet for a while and then there’s a lot more of them. That seems to be what’s happening with the summer home group. It gets controversial and then it cools off, then it gets controversial, but it’s almost always over the fee or some of the tendency of the some of the permittees to want to make certain improvements to their properties and make them a little bit more urban than they were designed to be. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  24   �But Chase is the only one that we actually terminated. [Laughing] BC: How do you see the future of the Forest Service? DB: Oh, I wish I didn’t have to answer that question! Again, I grew up at the tail end of its glory, in my opinion. But I’ve seen the policies in the Forest Service become more complex and more of them, more rules, more regulations. Not necessarily coming from congress either. I see people in positions that I don’t think ought to be in the positions they’re in because of egos, because of power, you know. The things that people seek high positions for sometimes. I don’t see us spending as much time on the ground as we ought to be spending. We’re spending way too much time in political issues, at least some of the folks are. And I don’t see a bright future for the Forest Service. I wouldn’t be surprised in five, ten years there isn’t a Forest Service anymore. There will be some kind of gigantic agency that manages all of the, you know the natural resources: parks, wildlife refuges, forests, you know, BLM lands all in the same agency. And I’m going to be one of the firsts that would say it’s not going to work effectively for the good of the American public. I think it will be a very bureaucratic kind of thing, like many government agencies are, and I don’t think it will serve the public like the agencies in the past have. People can accuse me of being an old thinker, I don’t care. I have seen too many evidences where that kind of thinking does not work. I can give you a couple of examples if you want to take the time to listen to them. BC: Sure. DB: The average ranger district, for example, even say 1984, consisted of regular staff but it had what we called a business management assistant. It was a well-trained, usually a lady, that managed the business of the district. She did the hiring, she paid many of the bills, she had access to a fund where we could take and go down to the hardware store and buy a hammer and nails if we needed to do that kind of stuff. It was very efficient; the store owners got paid in a timely way. She completed all the paperwork that needed to be done; some required a forest supervisor’s signature – she’d get it all ready, send it in and manage that process. We hired our own people on the district. We could pick the best workers because we knew who they were. We hired a lot of farm and ranch kids because we knew they knew how to work and they loved outside, you know, the land and so to speak. But gradually over the years all of those responsibilities that that business management person has changed from being able to complete the work, to just being the pusher of the paper. In other words they can fill out the form but somebody somewhere up the line has to approve it. I don’t know how many years ago it was; probably eight, nine, ten years ago, for example, the personnel business that we were all involved in at one time became a central organization. It’s in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Try to hire a person from a person who is doing the approval in Albuquerque, New Mexico – obviously it takes a long time. And it does. We would hire, for example, (I don’t know if this means anything) a GS3 (basic Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  25   �clerical position). That person would blossom in that particular job to where they were worthy of a higher pay. And at one time we could generate a higher pay to pay for their value without any problem at all – well, a little problem – but not a major problem. Now days, if I understand what I hear people talking about around the Forest Service that I keep in contact with, it’s a major operation to get it done IF it comes to pass in the first place. You have people saying, “We didn’t hire them for their brains, we hired them for their hands! All they’re supposed to do is know how to type!” But this lady is calling Yellowstone National Park to find out if a campground is open or if a road is open so they don’t drive 200 miles and find that everything’s closed. She thought about that herself. You know, people walk out of the office with smiles on their faces because they don’t get the buck passed. “That doesn’t matter. We only hired her for her fingers. She’s not supposed to think.” It’s that kind of stuff that drove me nuts, you know. Last example: when I worked in the regional office, I knew I didn’t want to go to the regional office; I really knew I didn’t want to go there. I went there anyway. I went there because my boss wanted to have a forest planner as a district ranger and not a district ranger in the woods. So she arranged a transfer for me to the regional office. I worked in state and private forestry there for a long time and our boss was in Missoula [Montana] (because they combined our two offices) and he wasn’t always in Ogden and so I would go to meetings for him once in a while. I went to a meeting where the regional forester’s staff – and when we called them staff officers that meant something, but when they changed their name to “board of directors” they lost the whole confidence of the Forest Service. But they didn’t see that. Board of Directors; that means you’re elevating yourself above everybody else. They said, “Yeah. We make all the decisions. You don’t do anything unless we make the decision.” I thought weird. Anyway, I struggled with that name. We went to this meeting and they had been talking for months about ten or so issues that were affecting the region. And at this meeting they were going to talk about these. I thought this was interesting. So I went to the meeting and they started to read down this list of all ten items. And, Brad, this was really interesting. They were talking about stuff that we’d talked about 20 years before, honest! I went to meetings as an assistant ranger and as a zone manager – which was the same thing as a ranger on the Sawtooth – where we talked about these same issues in 1981 and 1982. The list, I put them in my drawer. And then sometime in about the [19]‘70s we went through a program called “Choosing by Advantages” and “Management by Objectives” and “Total Quality Management” – we went through all of those kinds of things and developed issues and they’re exactly the same as we did in 1982! And when I saw those listed on the door, I thought, “Those look familiar to me.” And I looked on my list and they were almost word for word to the stuff we developed in 1982 and nothing had been done about them. Nothing! And they were things that the regional forester’s office probably ought to be working on because they had the authority to make these changes, and yet nothing had ever happened. And I thought, “That’s incredible.” Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  26   �And I’m sitting there listening, listening, listening and they got down to the last end and then the guy moderating the meeting said, “Very good! We’ve all done really good work now the meeting is over!” And before they could get up out of their chairs I raised my hand and I said, “Wait a minute.” I said, “All of these issues are really, really cool. And they’re really important, but when are you going to do anything about them?” The room went dead silent. And I knew I’d said the wrong thing because I’m only a GS12 talking to GS13s, 14s, and 15s! And then one of them said, “I don’t think we’re so bad, why we worked really well together on this!” (They had retreats where they went away, you know for themselves, and did all of this.) And that ended the meeting. And I actually went out of that meeting a little sick to my stomach because I couldn’t believe that this level of intelligence would be so naïve to think that was their original thought – it wasn’t! We thought about that in 1981 and ’82 and you know, a few other times during the year. So I stayed on for another couple of years before I retired, so it must’ve been in about 1998. And you know, until that very day that I walked out of the office nothing had been done about those ten issues -- nothing. BC: Hmm. Amazing. DB: So, to answer your question shortly: no, I think the Forest Service has changed. I feel bad that it has. I just don’t think they’re going to be as effective as they had in the past with the policies and the way they manage people now and all those kinds of things – I don’t think they can get back to the way it was. It’s too political in my opinion. We’re too much focused in on environmental documentations and documents which I don’t think the law requires us to be that intense, but we are. I don’t see rangers in the woods a lot. I see them at meetings, but not in the woods. I see their staff in the woods, but then the disconnect is between quality and ideas: this person is doing their own thing, the ranger’s going to meetings all the time. But where is the district going? I have a hard time sometimes seeing where that is going. What we did on the Logan District that made Logan Canyon and everything else work is, like I told you earlier, our campgrounds were in really bad shape. So what are you going to do with a budget that’s static to get from a really bad level of maintenance to a level that you’re proud to invite the public to come out to see? How are you going to do that? Well I told my staff that it wasn’t painting one table at a time in a campground! And then I asked the question, “How are you painting the tables?” “We’re painting them with a four inch paint brush and a gallon can of paint.” Well if you’ve painted a little bit of your house you know that’s slow. There are faster ways to do that. So I just asked a dumb question, “Why don’t you buy a commercial paint sprayer and spray the whole campground at once? You could spray the whole campground in the time it takes you to paint one table and drive 20 miles to paint the second table. In other words you can do a whole campground in a day.” We only have 12 campgrounds. You could get all 12 of them done in 12 days if you had the resources to do it. Well we didn’t have the resources to do all 12 of them, but we had a little bit to do some. So they went out and bought a $300 and some odd paint sprayer and sprayed all the campgrounds lickety split. They started to look pretty well, we didn’t increase our budget any. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  27   �A group of people – the city forester in Salt Lake City – was planting thousands of trees across these parks in Salt Lake City for pennies. How does he do it? He’s hiring the high school football team. He’s paying them $500-$1,000 to plant 10,000 trees (which if you contracted it would be close to $10,000, you know). So for $500-$1,000 he’s getting all of this work done. What’s in it for the football team? Well they need money for pads and for helmets and for special equipment that the school district isn’t funding them for. Loved it! You get these big, husky kids out there digging holes fast – so why don’t we try that? Our campground grates, for example, they were all broken apart. We were replacing them one at a time with metal ring fireplaces, which is a pretty good deal but we weren’t making any progress. So why don’t we hire a football team to come and do it? So we did. We brought Skyview’s High School football team to come in and do it. We paid them $1,000. They replaced almost all of our campground rings in Logan Canyon in a very short period of time. Saved us thousands of dollars and yet got our campgrounds up to one more level for just pennies. BC: Um-hmm. DB: That worked out really well. We did it again and again. And they came with their own supervision; they came with their busses. We didn’t have to pay for anything except for that little fee we agreed to. They bought helmets – it worked out perfectly for them. So how are we going to take care of the litter problem? Because that really bothered me. The crews would go through a campground and they would pick up stuff and within a day it looked like they’d never been there. A really sad thing for Cache Valley because I thought people would be much more sensitive than they were. I was disappointed in that. But how are we going to do it because we’re not going to get any more money to get any more people to pick up garbage? Do you know the name of Don Yonker? BC: I know some Yonkers out in – DB: Gordon. You know Gordon Yonker? BC: Yeah. DB: But Don Yonker is an older man now. He owned a bunch of land up against the mountain in North Logan, but north of Green Canyon. Don was a scouter and he came into the office one day he was concerned a little bit, as I was, that Eagle projects were being refused on the district right and left. And I couldn’t understand why we kept turning away free help. BC: Um-hmm DB: “Well, we don’t have time to go out and set up the project. We don’t have time to do this and that.” In a way that’s a legitimate – but not really – because you know, we could take Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  28   �the time if we wanted to. What were we doing that was more important? Probably nothing. But Don walked in the office one day and he said, “I’ll help you manage that program.” He said, “I’ll help supervise the Boy Scouts.” And so the next Boy Scout that came in wanting an Eagle project, we said, “Yes.” And then we got more, and we got more and we got more and pretty soon Don was managing a whole bunch of Eagle projects. They were out doing a quarter mile of trail here, and you know, a half a mile here; picking up here; doing all kinds of stuff. We got ourselves up one more little notch. Actually we were having a little bit of pressure about using more volunteers on the district, you know, because it was a political thing to do. We got points for doing that. But we didn’t want to do it just because we got points. We needed help. So we instituted – at the time Lady Bird Johnson had the “Take Pride in America” program – and we kind of spun in behind that and we said to the public through different means, “We need some help, folks, picking up in the canyons.” We got so many volunteers that we could have a family go pick up a campground once a week, to be backed up by another family and another family and another family; so we were actually getting things picked up really a lot. Every trail, every road, every campground had numerous families that had signed up to go pick up litter. And we went up another notch. I mean the forest started to look really nice. The problem was still there, but it was getting picked up on a regular basis. The district went back to Washington D.C. four times in a row and they won the top honors for that category in “Take Pride in America” just because of the work of Don and couple of his replacements and some other folks on the district that, you know, dedicated a little time and energy to that program. It was a wonderful program. It did wonders for the district, and here our budget’s not increased one dollar. But you know what happened from all of that is, is that people in the forest supervisor’s office and elsewhere began to see that Logan District knows where to spend money because we did. If we had extra trail money we knew what trail we wanted to put it on. If we got an Eagle project we knew where we wanted to put it, it wasn’t a guess, because we’d done some planning that way. So they would come in, we’d say, “Sure. You’re going to go to that trail and do this much.” And they’d go do it. And we’d just add, add, add, and the trail gets maintained and it was perfect. And so that’s what we did. And yet those folks began to say, “Wait a minute. They’re not just throwing money away.” No we’re not. We know where we’re going with it. So we got grants like $30,000 came in from this fund; and $40,000 from this and $10,000 from this and $5,000 from this because they knew we knew where to spend it. And we did – we spent it where we needed to spend it. And so the district took a way heavy step that way. We figured it would take us 15 years at our existing budget in Logan Canyon and the whole district in general to get all of our campgrounds up to a standard that we thought was acceptable. And we almost got there in eight years because of the extra money. Now why do I think the Forest Service is struggling a little bit? Because that’s all undone. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  29   �BC: Yeah. DB: We’re not there anymore and we’re not making the kind of progress that was made in those years. I’m not claiming credit for it. I got to sit back and put my feet up on the desk and smile. But the staff guys that were doing the work were just doing a marvelous job and it was working really well. When I left (I better be careful how I say this). When I left, I predicted that it would be within, oh at least as short as a year and perhaps two or three years that the district would be almost back in the same condition it was before we started all this stuff, and I’ve pretty well come close to that prediction. And I’m not boasting about that, you know. All I contributed to all of this stuff that went on in the forest was I said that we had to produce the highest money can buy and we’re not going to be functional. The fire crew can’t have their separate vehicles and their separate tools from the range crew, from the trail crew – we’re all part of the same district. It took about four years to get that mindset into people’s heads. And what that did when they got there, when they finally figured out that somebody cared about what they did, they acted together. The trail crew driving down the road would see a crooked sign they would stop and straighten it up instead of just drive past it saying, “That’s not my job, that’s the recreation guy’s job.” The recreation crew, if they saw cows where they weren’t supposed to be they didn’t think, they would tell the range folks that, “There are cows over here.” And the information flowed around the district. If a sign was missing, if they didn’t have it in their pickup truck, they put in there and put it up the next day. It wasn’t their job, but they were going that way. So they started all working together, they started to coordinate together a little bit. They authorized “fire personnel only” signs came down; locks went off the cabinets. We all contributed to the tool supply instead of each one of the groups having to horde their own things. It was really cool; but that all disappeared within two years after. I kept it going; I would admit that I preached like a preacher never preached before on that concept. Like I said, it took four to five years to get everybody agreeing that that’s what we were going to do and working together. But without that preaching it went away in a short period of time. I feel bad about that. I try not to get involved with the Forest Service today because I know, number one I would be disappointed; I would get sort of angry. I feel sorry for where they’re all at, I really, really do. But I don’t know if they’ll ever recover from, you know from the bureaucratic box they seem to have built about themselves. I think we could’ve had diversity; I think we could’ve had – not only in people, but in occupations and skills – if we would have just lead and exercised some leadership in there. I could go forever and ever you know. I have a real passion about this. One of the major mistakes a good company does that causes a failure in a program almost every time, is when you get a leader that stands up there and preaches the greatness of this new thing that you’re going to try and do and then the next day assigns it to a staff group to implement. It will never work, I don’t care how good the idea is, in a hundred Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  30   �years it will never work! For one, the staff guy doesn’t have the authority to do everything that needs to be done; for one it’s not his idea, it was just given to him; for another the boss sometimes won’t give him the autonomy they need to go make it work. And for those reasons it will not work. That’s what the Forest Service has done in many of these things that are good ideas that we’ve tried to implement, but almost every case they delegated it to a staff person to implement. I knew that when I came to the district and I would not do that; I would not delegate the responsibility of creating that management picture. I couldn’t do it because I knew it would fail; and it did when I left. I knew it would because the other rangers – good people as they are (and they’re good people) – had a different way they want to manage. They didn’t want to manage that way. But they’re not making as much progress as we were making either, that’s the only boast I’ll make. BC: Um-hmm. Yeah. DB: There are several writers (and I don’t remember all their names), but their writings are all classically the same: you manage people this way and you do these things a certain way, this is what good companies do and you’ll succeed. And I read their books, over and over and over again. I tried to do that on the district. And I believe they were right. I really do. I believe they were right; because we made progress. BC: I always like to end with the question, if you could go back and change anything about your career and your life, would you? DB: If the conditions of the day I started with the Forest Service were true today I would do it over without hesitation. BC: Um-hmm. DB: I still love being a forester. I still love being called a forester. I still smell pine scent on the breeze when I think about it enough, you know. I love the woods and what it represents. I see the woods being different than what the politicians see it. It’s not just a money making kind of thing, but there’s a whole organism out there that requires – in our day and age – some attention. We call it “management.” In the old days when the Indians set fires to burn holes in timber so they could put their horses in there, or to bring the elk and deer and bighorn sheep and that sort of thing, down into the openings (because they really were attracted to those); the lightening things that burn for months and months in the summertime and all that fire influence, in the West anyway, had a major influence on what the vegetative types, mosaics and all those kinds of things developed around. And each stage in their development benefited something else at that particular point in time. Unlike what the environmentalists wished would happen – that we do nothing to the woods – is not wise because the end result of all this vegetative development on its own, without any influences turning it back one way or the other (you take fire out of the system, if you take the bugs out of the system, and so forth), you end up with a pure stand of some old tree that has litter on the ground this deep with very little ground vegetation Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  31   �and therefore, not much to offer for the other varieties of – the wildlife and birds and so forth that call that home. The biomass itself might be high in vegetative types, but animal wise and the other kinds of critters that you normally think to find there, aren’t there because their habitat is not there. So I don’t know, for whatever wisdom you know, fire kept things in different stages scattered about the countryside and the re-development of the vegetative type’s history back up toward its climax – kept things in variety. Well in 1905 when the Forest Service thought – it was even true when I graduated from college – that fire, insects and disease were the enemy of the woods! And we had to do whatever we could to minimize those things. If you’re talking pure timber, that’s the concern of course, because that’s where the value of whatever your product is. But if you’re talking about ecosystems, that’s not wise because the periodic disruption in the community is what keeps it viable and the variety there. And so I always thought in my scheme, the land needs to be managed and it needs to be wisely managed. People need to use it but they can’t abuse it. You can cut some trees but you can’t cut too many of them; you can graze some cows, but you can’t graze too many of them, and so forth. If you were able to strike that balance in being able to manage a district like that, or even a forest like that, that the benefits to both the landscape and to the user of the landscape would be about as good as you could do it. If we could do that, then this job would be very, very interesting to continue on with it. It really would. But knowing what I know today and knowing what the Forest Service is like today – would I do it again? I would think about that a little bit harder. I don’t know what I would do different but I would would think about it a little bit harder. I think I would be a specialist and get away from the politics. I am really interested in fire and spent a lot of time in that particular box and I would easily want to become as expert as I could ever be in the whole fire management issue. I could find some joy and happiness in doing that, but not leading it. Again because of the politics and policies that seem to be controlling everything in ways I wish it wouldn’t. BC: Um-hmm. Alright, well thank you very much Dave, for – DB: Did I talk too much? BC: No, it was great! And we could probably go on for a long time. DB: Yeah, I can get real passionate about management. I really, really can. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dave Baumgartner     Page  32   � Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Debris Around the Thistle Water Diversion Intake on October 05, 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.
