Title A name given to the resource Debris Near Thistle on September 20, 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.

TAPE TRANSCRIPTION [Tape 1 of 2: A] BA: [It is] Wednesday, February 18. We’re on the Utah State University campus in the Quinney Library Conference Room [conducting an interview for the] Logan Canyon Land Use Management Oral History Project. My name is Barbara Middleton and our interview today is with Dennis Austin. Dennis, would you please introduce yourself and give us a little bit of your background, biographical information? Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  1   �DA: Dennis Duane Austin and I was born on May 4, 1947 in Salt Lake City. I grew up in Salt Lake, came up to Utah State University in 1967 after spending two years at the University of Utah in the business or mathematics. And on the lark came up here and walked into the Dean’s office and said, “Who can I talk to?” And they sent me over to Dr. [George B.] Colthrap. Ten minutes later I was signed up in the Watershed program. BA: And at that time who was the Dean of Natural Resources? DA: The Dean of Natural Resources I think was Thaddeus Box. BA: That was Thad? DA: I believe it was Thad. BA: And Dr. Colthrap was a professor in Watershed Sciences. DA: He was. BA: Okay. DA: I graduated with a Bachelors in [19]’70, a masters in ’72. I worked briefly for the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). I had a career with the Division of Wildlife [Resources: DWR] in Utah for about 30.5 years, with almost 22 of those years or so at Utah State University in a research capacity; the last nine or so years, as a biologist for the Cache Unit in Northern Utah. BA: Okay. DA: Retired about 2003, and since have continued to do many of the same things I was doing professionally, but now do them as a volunteer. BA: Back to your BLM reference – where did you work with them and what was your position? DA: Oh, it was just a summer internship up in Malta, Montana. BA: Doing what? DA: Range inventory. BA: And you mentioned the DWR – there’s a large part of that (22 years) where you are associated with USU and research. Can you tell us how that worked with DWR and USU? DA: That was an extremely unusual situation because it was a cooperative position in that the university [Utah State University] provided the facilities: the room, the research Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  2   �opportunities; and the Division of Wildlife paid my salary and directed the research issues. BA: Okay. DA: And my supervisors were first, Arthur V. Smith and then Phillip Urness and they were also in very unusual appointments in that they were paid half-time university and halftime the Division of Wildlife (even though they worked full time here at the [Utah State] University). BA: That was for 22 years, focusing on what areas? DA: Primarily big game/livestock relationships. This project began about, probably 1950 with Art Smith. And then later on after, oh probably somewhere around 1980, I changed the title of the project to “Wildlife Problems,” solving problems. We expanded our role from just habitat and animal relationships to problem-solving. For example, depredation was a very big part of my job for many years, in terms of research. BA: So it became part of something called “Wildlife Problems”? Has that evolved into anything else? DA: The whole project ended about 1994 when DWR ran into financial difficulties. BA: I just wasn’t sure if there was another unit that had picked up that issue. DA: After the project was eliminated by the Director, research in Utah (from the wildlife perspective) ended up on a consulting basis (like with BYU and the co-op unit here) and there was no further research being done (that I’m aware of) by DWR employees. Maybe on an in-house basis a little bit, but not much and not very technical. BA: So in that time that you were here, you obviously have spent time on the Cache National Forest, as well as in Logan Canyon. But before we get real specific to Logan Canyon, can you just give us an idea of the territory that you did cover? Let’s start with the largest and then we’ll focus down on the smaller, local scale. DA: Well as a research biologist at the university we just went where the research needed to be done. I had projects out in Uinta Basin, out near Dinosaur National Monument. I had projects out in the west desert on the Sheeprock Mountains. I had the depredation studies that went basically from Cache Valley and Rich County, clear down to Paragonah (in southern Utah), catching part of the area down by Price. [We did projects in the high Uintas] we put research sites all over the state. We had a really good mix. And my research experience was very broad. BA: In terms of those areas, like the Uinta Basin, was there a specific focus for being there? A specific wildlife or group of wildlife? Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  3   �DA: Yes! Each research project had its own goals and research questions. The first one dealt with Pinion-Juniper habitat. The state and the Bureau of Land Management had been doing rehabilitation work for Pinion-Juniper for decades – clear cutting and chaining. And the question that we started with out there was, “Does it really help in terms of habitat and wildlife?” And that was the first major project I worked on. And then it just went from there. So there were a lot of projects! BA: And just another detail on the west desert – what were you doing out there? DA: That study was looking at summer range because most of our big-game ranges – the winter range is the controlling factor – whereas out on these desert ranges it’s the amount of summer range. And so from a wildlife management perspective we were trying to figure out carrying capacities, how it was limiting, deer diets and nutrition, and habitat selection. [After three or four years], we came up with, I thought, some very good conclusions. BA: Great. That’s helpful just to get an idea of how far ranging you were. Because what we are going to focus on today is looking at the Cache National Forest, specifically some of the work that you’ve done in Logan Canyon. Okay? DA: Okay. BA: So let’s move into that area. And again, 30 years you’re with this program, but the program is taking you all over the state. DA: It has. BA: So what were some of the problems that you were approaching in Logan Canyon and when you looked at wildlife? And again, I know its Logan Canyon and the forest and some other entities. DA: Let me back up just a half a step. BA: Okay. DA: Because one of your questions asks, “What is the first thing you can remember?” BA: Yes. DA: “In Logan Canyon?” When I came up here in 1967 I took a social dance class and I met my future wife. Probably the earliest memory I have of doing anything in Logan Canyon was a ski trip with her. We cross-country skied from Franklin Basin and ended up at dark at the Logan River and I carried her across the river! Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  4   �[Laughing] BA: Oh, that’s great! Was she a skier? DA: We were skiers. She was a skier and I was beginning – that was probably my first memory. BA: And that’s cross-country skiing we’re talking about? DA: That was cross-country. BA: So, tell me about the gear you used on cross-country skiing in that – DA: Still have it. BA: Do you really? DA: Yes. BA: Wooden skis? DA: Yes, wooden skis. And this year the lamination’s finally started coming off and I had to retire them – and that was just a month ago! BA: [Laughing] And that was 1967? DA: Yes, so basically 42 years on wooden skis. BA: That’s great. DA: Okay. BA: So that’s your first memory. And Ann – we’re talking about Ann Austin? DA: Ann Berghout at that time. BA: Would you spell that last name? DA: B-E-R-G-H-O-U-T. BA: Thank you. That helps our typist. Ann Berghout, who is now Ann Austin and is the Assistant Provost? DA: Vice Provost. BA: Vice Provost at USU? Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  5   �DA: Vice Provost over Faculty Development and Diversity. BA: Thank you. DA: Okay, now. My research in Logan Canyon was minimal, but I did do a lot of data collection, especially as a biologist. BA: Tell us about the data collection. DA: I always felt like our biologists were not collecting as much data as they could have, and as much detailed data. So when I took over the biological position I did things that either hadn’t been done in years, or I began new projects. One of them was snowshoe hares. Nobody knows anything about snowshoe hares, basically, there’s very little data collected on them. But I set up plots on snowshoe hares and began looking at track counts and pellet group accumulations over winter and kept that data going until I retired and then the Forest Service subsequently has picked that up and is using those plots. Those are probably the longest term set of data that we have on snowshoe hare in the state, and maybe the intermountain region. BA: Hmm. DA: And those data are available. I also started setting up wing barrels for forest grouse. BA: What is that? DA: In other words, when hunters harvest birds and come out – if you have a wing barrels set up, you can request that they deposit their wings in the wing barrel. I started doing that to try to keep track not only of populations, but to determine the ratio of ruffed to blue grouse or dusty grouse. BA: So ratio of species. DA: I kept that up for ten years as well, and those data are available. As soon as I retired, that ended! I also set up a series of over winter big-game transects which looked at browse utilization by species and pellet group accumulations. And I not only did big game: deer, elk and moose, but I also did rabbits, to get a really good idea of the relationship and the number of animals on the range and the habitat utilization. I did that for ten years or so and as soon as I retired they (DWR) didn’t do that anymore either! BA: That’s interesting – you comment on that – with the data collection is that there was not enough being done. What was it like prior to your establishing some of these? DA: [With] the snowshoe hare, there was absolutely nothing being done. The forest grouse probably amounted to checking a few hunters from our law enforcement people. Now, on the other hand, there’s been a forest grouse check station at Blacksmith Fork for many, Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  6   �many years; and I continued to do that and I think that’s been more or less continued since. That’s probably the longest set of data anywhere in the state (or maybe anywhere), in terms of harvest to forest grouse from a check station standpoint. And those data are available for many years. Then I also restarted the deer check station in Logan Canyon. They’d run it back in the 1960s maybe, or the 1970s a little bit, and then because of one year where they [DWR] had a couple of car accidents at the check station they quit doing it. And so in 1994 when I took the position I re-upped with quite a bit of objection [with them] saying, “This isn’t going to work, you’re going to run into accidents,” and that sort of thing. So I put out a dozen good signs that slowed the traffic way down and we ran that check station every year for ten years [without any problems or accidents.] I think that’s still being run. The changes in the populations of deer being harvested are enormous and that data set is clearly shows that, clearly shows that. Those data are also available. BA: Give us an example of what kind of changes you see, like in the deer harvest. DA: Well, I’m now recalling from memory, but some of the earlier data – and I worked at the check station in the mid-80s (I think it was 1984). We would check 200 deer coming out on the opening weekend. As I remember, there were data back in the 1960s when they ran that station and they checked 400 deer on opening weekend, more or less. You’ve got to go back because we had these severe winters that not only crippled our deer herd and killed them, but they annihilated the winter range because of the extreme overuse. Then because of the lack of livestock grazing the browse couldn’t get going. The competition wasn’t favorable to browse production which sustains big-game winter. Anyway, we had the die off in ’83-’84; we had the die off in ’91-’92. The ’91-’92 was the last really major statewide die-off and we’ve never recovered from it. And so when I was a biologist – the ten years that I ran it – we ran a check station there on opening weekend and instead of 200 deer we were checking somewhere between 60 and 90, somewhere in that range. Then we’ve had more problems in Logan Canyon with the increased traffic, the speed of the traffic, highway deaths/highway mortality. Now I think this last year they checked somewhere – they’ve been checking somewhere between 30 and 40 deer the last few years. I think they had 28 this year. The number just continues to go down. All these longevity data sets are all available. BA: Now when you are at a deer check station as the biologist, what are you checking for? I mean what are you looking at, specifically? Are you looking at fat? Teeth? Tongue? DA: [Laughing] Well years before, at most check stations all they (DWR) do is count the number of deer. BA: Okay. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  7   �DA: And that’s all they do: buck, doe but that’s about it. As a research biologist working out on the desert – the Sheeprock Mountains or out in the Uinta Basin on Diamond Mountain area – we did quite a bit more. When I started to do the Logan Canyon check station, I started collecting considerably more data when the deer would come in. I look at the number of antler tines, spread of the antlers, the age of the animal for sure. BA: From teeth? DA: From dental. We were collecting teeth for [inaudible] and then I developed a fat index that is an index to physical condition of deer going into the winter (which is at the zyphoid process) and then there were a couple of other measurements that I just can’t bring to mind right quick. Anyway, the state adapted the method for at least a few years. I know that throughout at least the northern region everybody was doing it the same way and they were using seven pieces of data that we were collecting. For several years we did it all the same, but I don’t know what’s being done now. BA: Now mule deer aren’t just in Utah; so when you look at your partners where the mule deer population is, were they watching what you were doing in terms of the data collection and starting to mimic that? Were you leading the edge here? DA: I don’t know. I know that I published that paper on fat depth at the zyphoid process, and I know that it was used in Utah. I had a few inquiries from Colorado. I know it was used with white-tail deer in either Minnesota or Wisconsin for awhile, but I don’t know whether it was picked up and how permanently it was used. It’s kind of one of those things that, you know, it’s good to know but what are you going to do with it? I was trying to tie it into when to start over winter feeding? You know because of severe winter, when do you start feeding deer in the winter? And that was my idea because if you’ve got a deer herd that’s going into the winter in skinny condition you may want to start a little earlier; your criteria may loosen up a little bit. BA: And these winter feeding stations . . . . can you give us idea of where some of these might be or have been? DA: The Olympic year was 2002 and in 2002 during the Olympics, all the officers in the state basically, were tied into the Olympics and so I was up here basically alone. If you remember we had record snowfall that year. BA: Right. DA: We had 22 inches in the valley in one day, and more on the mountain and I was the only one here. I was working – I don’t know, 100 hour weeks [laughing] trying to keep up with all the difficulties and the problems. That was also the year that we fed deer in various stations and it took a little bit of gearing up to get the state on board to do it, because they had to authorize it. But that year we kept track of what was being fed and we kept track of die-off rates. And that particular year feeding was very effective in survival rates. I have those data. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  8   �BA: And so you’re basically feeding at the mouth of the canyons in Cache Valley? DA: Mouth of the canyons. We had about 12 or 13 feeding locations that were authorized; we had three over in Rich County. It really made a difference on those sites in terms of survival. BA: And you’re feeding what? Alfalfa? DA: We fed primarily alfalfa and that’s been recommended for years because that’s what we fed our tame deer. We fed them alfalfa a second and third crop ad libitum (meaning as much as they wanted), and then we would feed a little bit of deer pellets or lamb growth pellets which are basically the same thing. Deer pellet composition is just a little bit different, but the land gore pellet worked great and it was commercially available. And then we would use rolled barley for ice cream. That’s what we used to train them and to tame them down because they would eat it out of your hand with the rolled barley. It was just a favorite. BA: Interesting. Because I have seen feeding stations around the valley and I know there’s one in North Logan at Green Canyon. DA: Correct. BA: Yeah. DA: Yes, and we still do that. We still feed them on occasion if the conditions are right and the Division of Wildlife approves it, and then we have volunteers that are set up. And it helps, it really helps. The earliest feeding that was done on the Cache was done in the 1940s, and I believe the researcher was Rasmussen. BA: Okay. DA: They fed in what used to be the deer pen facility, just south of Green Canyon, between Logan and Green Canyon. There’s about 120 acres in there that was sold to Logan City about 2004 for a cemetery and other things. That was the first feeding experiment that I’m aware of anywhere in the west. They fed on the range out there – and they would feed up to 1000 head of deer a year on this range. Then they kept track of their losses and that was the very first feeding experiment, and obviously was successful. BA: And as an experiment – again, is the question we’re looking at – “how do we get a healthier population during the winter?” DA: Yes. BA: Okay. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  9   �DA: And feeding works. There is absolutely no question about the fact that feeding works. Phil Urness did a summary of feeding that had been done in the west about 1995 – that’s a published paper. Then I have the exact data from our feeding experiments in 2002. Then Chris Peterson, a PhD (I think she’s finished with her PhD at USU now) has done – that’s what her PhD was about: the effects of feeding on wildlife deer populations. The effects on their habitats, and how well they’ll survive and reproduction, that sort of thing. We pretty much know what it does and if you have a bad winter and you run out of browse, feeding makes a big difference. If it’s just a normal winter, it’s not going to really make much of a difference in terms of reproduction success. BA: How does it affect other wildlife? Is there any connection with available forage or movement of animals? DA: Well, there’s always the competition with elk. Because elk are the competitors – they’ll go out and out compete anything we have on the mountain. They’ll out-compete deer, they’ll out-compete moose, they’ll out-compete pronghorn. The only thing they can’t outcompete, basically, is bison. And the reason is that with most of our wildlife species they don’t herd up in large groups like elk do. But elk in the wintertime are more sociable, they get in large groups, and then they get into an area and they camp. They just kind of camp on an area and chew it up and then move on to the next area. Whereas for instance, mule deer will walk in small groups of two or three or four, or even larger groups sometimes, but they’ll walk through an area and take a bite of a shrub here, and a bite of a shrub there and just kind of move through. Whereas an elk will get in their groups and they’ll find, “Oh! I like this bush.” And they’ll eat it until it’s all gone. [Laughing] That’s one of the major differences and that can create conflict between those species. Moose tend to stay up higher, but moose tend to do the same thing, except they’re usually single; moose will hunker down all winter in a very small area and just stay there all winter and just eat whatever is there. BA: So, the other question I guess is there a down side to feeding? DA: Well you do have disease problems occasionally, but not very often; and you do have habitat destruction in the vicinity of the feeding grounds. BA: What do you mean? DA: Because they just use everything. It’s just basically you over-utilize the shrubs and it causes decadence and then usually mortality of the shrubs. But the deer pen property is kind of interesting because it was purchased in 1937 for research. The reason they purchased it is because the early guys out there noticed that this is one of the two major areas on the Cache Valley bench where the big game (primarily mule deer) stayed in the winter time, so that’s why the state purchased it. The other area was the Millville face. That tends to dry off – not dry off – but the snow tends to melt on it sooner and you have more open ground all winter and that’s why it was purchased; it was a very effective winter range for many years. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  10   �It was used by research. Art Smith did the very first piece of research up there in 1947 and he compared areas grazed by livestock and areas ungrazed by livestock on deer winter range. That was the first big game/livestock relationship study, I believe, ever recorded. I think that was published in 1949. But it came directly from that area and then I went back and re-did his data in the mid-[19]80s (I think that was published in [19]84). I compared his data – same ground, same technique, but the change had been that livestock grazing had ended decades ago. So the habitat had gone back to a situation where the differences in plant communities between where his old fence line was were almost gone. There were almost no differences after 30 years of utilization without livestock – deer utilization in the winter; livestock utilization in the spring. BA: Interesting. So these two pieces of land: the Millville and Logan deer pens were purchased by DWR, and that’s because you’re saying the face melts off so it’s an easier place for the deer to herd up; better vegetation because of that? DA: Well, in the winter time it melts, leaving the ground open and allowing the deer to move around. And it has a little bit warmer micro-climate, which makes a difference in the winter time. The Millville face and the face up here between Green and Logan Canyons (which is sometimes called “Saddle Mountain”) [Stop and start recording] [Tape 1 of 2: B] BA: This is [Barbara Middleton, I’m here with] Dennis Austin, we’re on Tape 1 and we’re on side 2. And this is February 18, continuing our discussion. DA: If you go out on the Valley View Highway, toward the Wellsville Mountains and pull off the road and look back during the winter on the Cache range, you can see Saddle Mountain baring off of snow before any of the other mountain ranges in the area, except for the Millville face. The Millville face tends to bare off at about the same rate. Very interesting pictures. BA: So you have a weather condition there and you also have pre-existing patterns in the wildlife that they’re already coming down to those areas probably for those very reasons. DA: That’s correct. BA: So no other downsides then to the feeding operations? DA: Costs. The costs almost never justify what you pick up in survival. The costs are just enormous, even with free man-power it becomes extremely costly. If you have organizations such as the Mule Deer Foundation or the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation that are supplying the money to run the feeding operation then it helps everyone. But the costs are just prohibitive to do it. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  11   �BA: So those might be some of your partners then, in that. DA: You have to have the partners in feeding. BA: Are there any other partners that would help– would the cities assist in any way? DA: Oh, sometimes; private organizations sometimes do, ranchers do. It’s pretty variable, depending on what the interest is. You could just about have any group volunteer to help, and they do. BA: Even like scouts? DA: Scouts have helped; Pheasants Forever have helped, Audubon I think has helped. So it’s just a matter of who is interested and wants to put a little money into it. BA: Just so our listeners can understand the feeding operation, you are via truck delivering the food to the sites on a daily basis? A weekly basis? DA: A daily basis. BA: A daily basis. So all those sites have to be accessible in any kind of weather? DA: Right. So you have to be able to go up on a vehicle. Now on a couple of occasions we stock-piled materials away from the road. The guys went in there on snowmobiles and daily took out a little bit out of the feed stock. But that was only one case. Generally speaking, you have to have access. BA: So what time of day do you re-stock this? DA: Oh, it doesn’t matter – just when the volunteers have time. BA: Okay. DA: In the evening is usually the case, but some people did it in the morning. BA: It’s interesting to me because we have one of those in North Logan where there is food being put in and I go up and see that it’s there, but I didn’t know what the parameters were with it. But that’s fairly serious when you’re talking about the snowstorms, like you’re mentioning in 2002 – DA: Yes. BA: -- significant snows like that and you have animals dependent on the food brought out. DA: That’s right. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  12   �BA: The dinner bell. DA: It was a very drastic situation because we had all the factors line up: we had massive over-winter loss on the Cache National Forest that year. It was interesting, they got all ready for the Olympics and the storm was supposed to come in and drop all this snow in Salt Lake, but it didn’t make it to Salt Lake. It dropped it all in Cache Valley. And it was such a heavy storm – there are some people that think there was cloud seeding that went on for the Olympics, and that was one of the reasons that it was such a heavy storm. But that’s never been verified. BA: And there’s a very distinct line where that snow – DA: That’s exactly right. BA: Yes, yes. DA: We really got hammered! BA: That’s very interesting. You know, it’s interesting too for me to look at the transition of the research when you’re saying there were other things you could’ve collected for other kinds of reasons. And that’s helpful, I think, for the listener to understand how that transition happens. But you also mentioned then that as you leave and as either people retire or as policies change, that some of those activities don’t continue. Could you talk a little bit about that? DA: Yes, that’s pretty true. We have transitioned in natural resources. Logan Canyon is a good example from the biologist in charge spending most of their time in the woods and in the field, to spending most of their time in the office and on the computer. This is a transition that has taken 30 years. When I retired, I was probably the only wildlife biologist left in the state that spent at least half my time in the field. I was probably spending 65-70% of my time in the field. I was shocked when my colleagues were saying how little time they spent in the field anymore. An example was one of my colleagues (and I won’t say who) we were talking about his work and he says, “Well, I do the same job you do, but I’m only spending 10% of my time in the field anymore.” And that was the figure he gave, 10%. I was dumbfounded because biologists just did not use to do that. Because it takes so much time to deal with questions, and public, and telephones and trying to keep up with the bookwork and the computers – I wouldn’t do it! And didn’t do it. But it’s a real transition. So when a biologist sets up transects and data collection means, the new biologist probably doesn’t have the time to do it, plus the fact that the new guys taking over do not have the background in knowing how to do some of these methods. BA: Why is that? DA: They just didn’t learn. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  13   �BA: So the NR training has changed? DA: The NR training has changed and we don’t teach field methods very much. Summer Camp did at USU. Summer Camp is gone. We just don’t teach field methods hardly at all anymore. A good example is when Chris Peterson started her doctoral study and needed to learn how to measure browse and vegetation in the field, I was the one that taught her. Not the State Division of Wildlife because there’s nobody that knows how to do it. BA: And normally a student like that would have received that training somewhere in there. DA: You would think, but it’s not being taught hardly anymore – anywhere that I am aware of. Because we don’t use it anymore. We don’t use it, we don’t go out and we don’t collect browse transects, we don’t determine over-winter use. We probably don’t even collect pellet group samples to determine density of deer on winter ranges. We don’t look at the range conditions like we used to, and it’s because we just don’t have the expertise or the time to do it as biologists. BA: So it’s an expertise and experience factor, but it’s also time and cost? DA: Time and cost. We have switched over from field work to data sets that we use instead. And instead of having the biologist go out every year and look at his range, we have the range trend crew which looks at the area every five years. So every five years we get a piece of data that looks at long-term trends, but we have no idea what’s going on in those intermediate years. Instead of going out in the field and looking at elk and trying to do moose like I used to do and classify them, now we use helicopter counts and that’s what we rely on. Helicopter counts are great: they give us some of the best data we can possibly get. But that’s what we rely on because it’s quick, it’s easy. It’s very expensive but it’s effective. So we use helicopter counts to count elk and moose. And that works extremely well, it gives us good data sets, and then we don’t do anything else. BA: Well, exactly. When you talk about the deer in the previous station data that you collected – you’re getting the number, but you’re not getting the quality. DA: Yes. BA: So you know, quantity, but not quality of a population. DA: Right. We use harvest numbers and modeling to determine our populations. But the relationship of the number of animals and the range conditions is not looked at except every five years. And then only during the summer – kind of a situation that only gives us long-term trends. And the long-term trends are not good. That’s true for Logan Canyon. We are losing our browse and our vegetation and our carrying capacity for deer a little bit every year. In the 1950’s, Art Smith stated that curl-leaf mountain mahogany was providing the (now I’m trying to remember exactly how he said it) – it was one of the top three, if not the number one browse species in terms of winter diet for mule deer on the Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  14   �Cache unit. Now you’d have to find a very big mule deer to reach that vegetation because it’s all been highlined. BA: Right. DA: And now the elk have used it up to the point that they can hardly reach it. The moose are having a hard time too. So we have lost that vegetation, not because of over-use, but just because of the maturity of the stands; because curl-leaf mahogany does not reproduce. But the point is that we are gradually losing the carrying capacity of many of our big game winter ranges. Logan Canyon is a good example where we have lost considerable carrying capacity. You go up on the mountain and you look up there and you see junipers all over the place – but there is nothing else. There is very little understory left under it because it has all been utilized extremely heavily, then you get decadent plants that are low in productivity, no reproduction and then you get mortality. And it’s hard to get it back. BA: So you’re talking about major stand structural changes? DA: Major stand structural changes, yep. Also whenever we had fires on our winter ranges, we end up with cheat grass. As you know from experience trying to plant, it takes a lot of effort to re-plant browse and often we don’t get much success. I know of places where we have replanted areas, oh five or six times, and still have almost nothing coming back. A lot of it is because of the difficulty of south and west facing slopes that dry out quickly and then the competition with the non-native weedy species. BA: So it sounds like a wave that is just getting stronger and larger and almost – I mean what does it take to turn that wave? What does it take to make a major change? DA: Well, the best thing that we can do on most of these ranges is to re-incorporate livestock grazing. Because it was livestock grazing that got us our good winter ranges. Then as we developed we gradually removed livestock from our winter ranges and built houses or we just – on the Forest Service grounds, some of the BLM ground – we just don’t graze it anymore because of the difficulties of highway traffic in the bottom of the canyons. It just doesn’t get grazed. Most of our foothill ranges are a climax community as a grassland. If you go way back to when the pioneers came into the Salt Lake Valley and a few years later up here in Cache Valley, our foothill ranges were grasslands and there were no deer because they needed browse to sustain them in the winter time. It was the livestock grazing that created the browse complement. Then as livestock were reduced (beginning about 1935), we gradually lost our browse complement in many areas. BA: Why was the reduction in 1935? DA: The mud rock slides of the 1930s from overgrazing caused all of a sudden land managers thinking to go to more of a conservative grazing strategy, especially for the Forest Service. We had the mud rock slides and they did contour trenches on mountains (which you can still see in places). So watershed became more important than livestock Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  15   �production and that’s when grazing numbers began to decline. They’ve continued to decline even to today because of those kinds of concerns; erosion and over-utilization. Riparian and adjacent habitats are extremely important also. BA: So at the mudslide point in 1935 – DA: In that era. BA: In that era, in that time period – you’re talking about the Wellsville concern? Would that be one of the examples with the overgrazing on the Wellsvilles? DA: Well, I think it was really broad-spread. In that time period, every landowner that could, had livestock. We were running cattle and sheep on these mountains to the point where they were creating dust areas on the meadows in the summer. It was just extremely overused. And it was not just Utah, it was the intermountain area, totally. If there was a blade of grass, watch out! It was probably going to get eaten. [Laughing] But it did create winter range for us. That winter range gradually increased from, from when the pioneers first came here, probably reached a peak right in the 1930s someplace in terms of development. But our deer population hadn’t caught up with it yet. So our deer population probably maxed out in the 1940s. It took a few years to catch up with all that vegetation productivity. Of course we had some bad winters in there too, which kind of reduced those herds and kept them down. Then once the deer population got really heavy, then they started overutilizing that winter range forage base which caused it to reduce gradually. Not only from lack of reduction in livestock use, but from over-utilization by deer. So those two factors. BA: Okay. [Stop and start recording] BA: Alright, we’ve turned the tape back on again. And I’d like Dennis to mention – he mentioned early on that he was born and raised in Salt Lake – but was there any connection with any family land use traditions that you can think of? DA: Not directly, but indirectly, yes. My father came back from the war. He and his brother found a stream up near Coalville. It was the south fork of Chalk Creek. At seven years old I began fishing in that stream on private property. I’ve continued to fish that every year, with the land owner’s permission since (and got to know them very well). In about 1995, I first started talking to the family about putting their land into a conservation easement. Last year they put half of it in – about 2500 acres – and this year they’re planning to put the rest of it in. BA: That must be gratifying! Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  16   �DA: That was kind of my long-term connection with them. They thanked me for it. They said, “You are the first one that ever suggested this.” So that’s a connection. Then about 1993 I sat my family down because we’ve been saving money for about ten years, we had an old van and we needed to replace it and we also found a piece of land up in Wyoming that was for sale that I really liked. So I sat the family down and asked them, “We’ve got $8,000 in the bank, how should we spend it?” And the kids said, “That’s not a question!” [Laughing] We bought 40 acres up in Wyoming! BA: Great! DA: I’ve written about that. That became a family connection that has done our family tremendous good. BA: And whereabouts is that? DA: Oh, that’s just inside the Wyoming line on your way to Jackson on the little stream called Cold Creek. BA: And when you mention that you’ve written about that, where -- ? DA: Oh, that’s in my Herald Journal writings. BA: Okay. It’s interesting because you open that up with direct and indirect connection with family, but your father got you started fishing. You must be very proud of what that grew into as far as working with the family. DA: Oh yes. My daughters are better fly fisherman than I’ll ever be – they’re better than my sons! [Laughing] BA: You’ve returned to that stream with them? DA: Oh yeah. Every year for – I was seven – so it is 54 years. And good relationships – I see the land owner almost every year. Of course, the original landowner has passed on and now we’re looking at his sons (which are also very old now). But it looks like they’re going to get it all into an easement. BA: That’s great. DA: So, nice piece of protection. BA: So it’s not only your immediate family, it’s also families that you connect with – in this case, through a landscape connection with the creek. DA: Sure, oh sure. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  17   �BA: Can you just explain for our listeners that are not in natural resources what a conservation easement is? What it means to that family and what it means to the landscape there. DA: Sure. Conservation easements started about 1994 in Utah (there might have been a few before that, but not many). What it is a landowner has a bunch of land, usually contiguous (like maybe anywhere from 40 acres, to 10,000 acres). Then this individual decides that instead of having this land available for development (which basically all our private land will become), they decided to retain this land as an agricultural base. So they contract with an agency or an organization, such as Utah Open Lands, or Nature Conservancy, or Utah Forestry and Fire Control, or Division of Wildlife and they set up a conservation easement so that the buyer of the easement buys the development rights of the land. Once the development rights are bought, that land can no longer be developed. But the landowner has the complete control as to what he wants to develop on it; so if he wants to eventually put cabins on it (five cabins, two cabins, one cabin, no cabins), roads – the landowner says what will happen to this land down in the future and puts those restrictions on it. Then the conservation agency buys the rest of the development rights. The landowner receives the money for those development rights (usually at about 75% of the appraised value of those developments) and then it becomes a permanent piece of agricultural or range land that preserves our environment and our agricultural base. For many landowners they don’t want to see it developed. Some of them want to see it developed a little bit for their kids and maybe their grandkids, but they want the agricultural base to retain it’s integrity. That’s the reason that we started developing these easements and now they’re becoming very popular. Evan Olsen did the very first one here in Cache Valley, from an agricultural standpoint. There was one before that, but it wasn’t for agriculture it was just for land preservation. BA: And with this family, they were obviously interested in protecting that landscape in perpetuity – DA: Correct. BA: -- so the parents at that time, and then the children, were in agreement? DA: The parents had passed away before they began to talk about this easement. But the two brothers and three sisters (I believe that’s correct), they decided they wanted to keep it in a family agricultural ranch where they could raise livestock. It takes about 5,000 acres of rangeland, with some irrigated cropland for hay and so forth, to be able to make a living on the land; about 5,000 acres is what it takes. A family can make a living on that land, and once it’s sold into an easement, it will retain that ability into perpetuity. BA: Now, have you worked on other conservation easements? DA: I haven’t worked directly on very many, but I’ve sure encouraged a lot of land owners to do it. When I ran for the legislature (and that was 2002, I believe, or 2003), there was almost nobody signed up to put their lands in conservation. Because they didn’t understand it. They were in control of whatever they wanted and that was one of the Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  18   �tenants of what I ran on. By the time I got done (even though I lost by a landslide), we had 40 or 50 people that were interested in putting their lands into conservation easements. And that has continued. We have more people applying for it than there is money available. BA: Right. DA: To buy them. BA: Right, interesting. That, again, must be very exciting from a wildlife biologist perspective, to see those parcels. DA: Oh yes, being protected. BA: Right. DA: You know when John White did his in the south end of the valley – that was the first really big one that was being done. There’s one being done over in Bear Lake valley – probably I shouldn’t give names. BA: That’s fine. DA: I think it’s 2,000 acres, and that’s been encouraged. Then there’s a bigger landowner over there that owns about 7,000 acres that I just talked to a few weeks ago. He said, “Well, I’m thinking pretty seriously about it now, but I want to see what this one does.” Then there’s one over on the east side of Bear Lake that is in an extremely highly wildlife productive area that the family has been working on for several years – I have written letters for. That looks like that’s finally going to go. That’s extremely expensive because it has shoreline associated with it. BA: Oh, sure. DA: So we’re getting a few. If we had more money from the state or other agencies, we’d probably have a lot more of them. BA: But it could be a partnership between the state, and you also mentioned TNC (The Nature Conservancy). DA: It’s really variable as to who holds the conservation easement, who buys it. BA: Okay. DA: Whoever has the money to buy it will buy, and then they hold it. And I’ve never seen one reversed. The landowner can sell it, but the conservation easement stays on the deed perpetually. I have never seen one reversed. It would take an enormous amount of money to get one to reverse. I’ve seen them changed – where they’ve set up an easement on a Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  19   �parcel of land and then decided that they wanted to expand it. So they re-write the easement; eliminate the first one and re-write the second one. BA: So expand it to include more land? DA: To include more land. BA: So like an addendum to the original? DA: Correct. But that’s the only case I’ve seen it changed. And I’ve never seen one reversed. BA: Interesting. And then just one last question on conservation easements with Utah – where are we in terms of the national perspective on easements? Do you know? DA: I guess I’m really not sure where we’re at on the national basis. We’re probably about as far along as other places. I know back east they’re concerned about agricultural production in certain areas has become so critical that they are now – cities and towns are going out and buying conservation easements just to maintain agricultural base near cities. Because the development has become so broad; so widespread. Where are we at in Utah? I think we’re doing pretty good in this state. I’ve always thought – and what I proposed was – for every acre of land that is developed, we should put an acre of land into an easement for range or especially agricultural production. But that hasn’t happened yet. You know, we’re losing about 500 acres in Cache Valley a year, and we’re almost getting that much in conservation easements now. So we’re getting closer. BA: So you’d like to see a 1:1 ratio? DA: Yes, I would. BA: Thank you. That’s a little bit of a diversion, but – DA: It was. BA: Very interesting in terms of what’s happening in Cache Valley. Especially something that was a connection for you early on and how that has translated into policy, and especially long-term policy. So thank you for answering all of my questions on that. DA: [Laughing] You’re asking a lot more than I ever expected. I thought I would be out of here in ten minutes! [Stop and start recording] [Tape 2 of 2: A] BA: This is Barbara Middleton, I am here with Dennis Austin. We are on Tape 2, side 1, and this is our February 18, 2009 interview. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  20   �What I’d like to move into now is a look at policies that have impacted some of the areas of Dennis’ work. One of the things I’ve asked him to explain is a little bit about state’s authority. And then also the idea of what would be some of the policies that would be very helpful in terms of wildlife in Logan Canyon. But let’s start with state’s authority. DA: Well, this is a complicated issue because the way that the United States is set up, the rules and regulations of land and wildlife management may not have been the best way. Because the states were given the authority to manage the wildlife, and that’s their perusal; but the land management agencies manage the land. Sometimes, the two are not exactly compatible because of the people use factor. From a wildlife perspective, if you manage land particularly for wildlife you generally eliminate people use. A good example of this is on our wildlife management areas; in about 1996 I initiated a program where these wildlife management areas were on big game winter range (such as the Millville face, such as the Richmond wildlife management area, and then the one over in Rich county). We began to exclude people use totally from December 1 through April 31 to maximize the use and availability of those lands for wildlife, because that’s what they were purchased for. If you could eliminate all people use (at least at critical times) on the Forest Service and the BLM, you would maximize your opportunity for wildlife. But you can’t do that because you’ve got the people factor in there and you have to provide for recreation. So it becomes a balancing act for the Forest Service to try to manage their lands so that they are providing for people but also for wildlife resources. One of the examples that we dealt with in terms of developing land planning and policy was with the Forest Service about eight or nine years ago when they were in one of their planning regimes. The snowmobilers in the winter wanted to open up the Temple Fork and Spawn Creek area – totally open up to snowmobiling. Well, from our aerial surveys of (we’ll talk about elk, but also moose to a lesser degree) we found that that’s where a very large herd of elk stayed all winter. They stayed in that Temple Fork and we knew that they would be moved out by snowmobile use. I’d been going up there on my skis in the Spawn Creek area since at least the mid-1970s. I skied up there every year and the elk would use the creek as a travel lane when the snow got deep. They would sit up there in those curl-leaf mahogany stands. I think we convinced the Forest Service to leave at least part of that area excluded from snowmobile use, to maintain some wildlife habitat that we knew was heavily critical to our elk up in that area. So, that was one example where we came together and I felt like the agencies worked together pretty good. BA: Are there any other examples in Logan Canyon that you can think of? DA: That’s the only one that really came to fruition that really seemed to work for everyone. I think that the snowmobiling group kind of got on it and said, “Yeah, we can back off a little bit here.” Now the use has increased so much from the skiers and the snowshoers, I’m not sure that it’s that effective anymore. Because when I used to go up there, I’d go up there on my skis and I did my curl-leaf mountain mahogany study up Spawn Creek and it went for a full year. I’d go up and collect samples of the trees for nutritional Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  21   �analysis on a bi-weekly basis. I’d go up there and ski up one day and then I’d come back two weeks later and I would ski over my same tracks. There was nobody else up there – nobody! There were no snowmobiles – they were almost non-existent – and no other skiers because I was the only one. I would do that all winter and once in a while I’d cut another ski track, but it was really unusual. Usually I’d ski up there all winter and I would be the only track up there! [Laughing] BA: Wow! DA: But it was kind of fun. BA: You’re still going up there now? DA: I still do. BA: So the changes you’re seeing are what? DA: Vegetatively, not much. You know, the Forest Service has done an excellent job in putting the new road up there and rehabilitating the old road along the stream. Vegetatively we haven’t seen many changes. In terms of animal use, there’s a little bit. I think the elk are pretty much moved out of there now for a large part of the winter, where they used to stay up there the whole winter. I know because I used to see them. The moose are still up there in the curl leaf mahogany forest type, and their numbers are probably comparable to what they were before. The birds are still there. The forest in the winter time situation hasn’t changed probably hardly at all. Still a few bobcats; still cut a cougar track once in a while. A few years ago I cut a wolf track for the first time. I know it was a wolf because I followed it for a long way, so we know they’re coming in too. But the wolf is probably the newcomer, coming back of course. Most of the vegetation really hasn’t changed. The fishery hasn’t changed very much; it does have heavier pressure, but most guys can’t catch fish anyway! BA: Well, now there were severe road changes up there, or significant road changes. DA: Oh yes. BA: There was that high road that was put up and around. DA: Yes, and that was an excellent move. Except the only bad thing about it is that it changed my breeding bird survey route. BA: Oh! [Laughing] DA: I had to realign my stops on my BBS routes, but other than that it was great. And I can handle that. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  22   �BA: I never saw the area before the road went in because I haven’t been here that long, but I’d seen previous pictures and it looked like it was a great addition to – DA: They did a great job on that. That was a fantastic, very excellent job. And it did a lot of good; the planning has done a very good job. So, kudos to the Forest Service on that one. BA: That’s great. You know, it’s interesting to talk about policy because one of the things that I think about is policies that are directly the front door of the agency, like NEPA, you know in terms of the public involvement process and a direct impact on the agency. But then there are also policies that are very external to resource management that begin to affect your work or people’s access, or quantity of use, or change of use. When I think of policies like within the industry of snowmobiling or cross-country skiing and technical – maybe they’re not policy changes, they’re technical changes. But they begin to affect policy on the landscape as far as what – like the Yellowstone condition. If the manufacturers make changes in snowmobiles then will Yellowstone take a different look at their snowmobile policy? Because of an air quality or noise reduction, or whatever. So can you think of policies that would be external that have maybe had some impacts on your work? Or some of your research? Or just some of the changes you may have seen. [Stop and start recording] DA: Okay, the BLM for instance, they graze most of the ranges all summer long on season long grazing on sage grouse ranges and sage grouse is kind of a sensitive species. One of the areas over there [Rich County] had a good lek on it, it was called the Otter Creek Lek. We researched that over a couple of years to find out where those birds were going. Sure enough they were all on BLM grounds, and it was being grazed on a season long basis. I recommended to the Bureau of Land Management to build one fence line in addition to the ones they had there because most of the birds were nesting in this one area. Because of the cattle grazing in there, their nesting success was not very good. There was more open ground, there was more predator potential (especially from eagles and raptors and that sort of thing). So our reproductive rate was pretty shallow. I asked them if they could just fence that off during the months of June through mid-July until the chicks were big enough to be able to kind of survive on their own a little bit. That would have increased our reproductive capacity. Then they could go and still graze it at the same level and not change their animal months of livestock use in there. Well, they weren’t able to do it. If they would have been able to change that policy I am still convinced that it would help that sage grouse population in that area immensely. BA: Okay. DA: That’s an example maybe of a policy that could be changed without affecting the land owner or the grazer, but would have positive effects on wildlife. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  23   �BA: That’s great, no that’s a great example. Anything else that you can think of? Well I’m sure in your time period of 30 years there were so many policies that you have run across your desk. DA: Out in the deserts on the summer ranges, the cattle stay there year long. The question that we started out with there was – and it applies to summer ranges on the Cache and other places too – the question is, “Can livestock grazing on summer range affect big game?” The general answer is, no, they don’t. Except when the grazing becomes so significant that they begin to remove the browse complement of the vegetation on the summer ranges. When the grazing gets to that point, then they’re affecting mule deer because they’re pushing them to alternative areas, and they are affected. But until you get to that extreme type of grazing, you are not affecting them on summer range. So what we said to the Forest Service on that, and the BLM, was that, you know it’s fine to graze these livestock to that point, but once they reach that point of extreme overgrazing on these summer ranges then you need to pull them off. Because that’s when the deer put on their fat for the wintertime, so they need the berries [and fall vegetation]. BA: Okay. DA: But until they reach that point, you’re okay. So if you end your livestock grazing at the first [of] September for at least half the area then you’re probably really well off, because the deer will find those areas that aren’t being grazed. But there is a competition potential, say from the last week in August through most of the month of September. That’s the only time that it’s there. BA: So it’s a timing – you could remove them during that – DA: It is. BA: Remove the cow during that time. Is it also a lack of other vegetation available that would push them into the browse? DA: Yes, it is. They’ve eaten everything else up. BA: Okay. DA: Now they’re all of a sudden eating the stuff they don’t particularly care to eat, but they’re hungry so they’re eating it. Now wildlife do not need all the area. You’ve got a 5,000 acre range, you could put 2,500 or 2,000 acres for the wildlife and they migrate in there. And they do. And then they would have that for them. That’s kind of a rest-rotation grazing system that works. It really works for wildlife. BA: Great. I’m going to do a little change here with a question – you have two books that are sitting here that I’d like to find out a little bit more about. DA: I’m not sure I want to talk about them. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  24   �BA: Okay! [Laughing] DA: Because they’re not published. BA: Well then let me go back to in terms of some of your influences in your interest in wildlife management and especially in the big game, but also in just conservation in natural resources in general. Do you have any significant books that you can remember that were fairly pivotal for you? And in the same light, when I think of – you’ve mentioned some people – but were there significant people along the way? Your dad took you fishing and that was an interesting connection for you, especially with that conservation easement part. But books or people? DA: Well, I’ve said for years – this gives me a chance to vent one of my frustrations that I believe that USU (and every other college of natural resources anywhere) is remiss in not offering a course in classic readings in natural resources. We do not do that here. I don’t think we’ve ever done it here, and it really should be done. BA: And what would you include? DA: Well first I would go out and survey as many professors and as many universities as I could and just ask them, “What would you want your students to read as far as the background of natural resources?” So you would want to read Leopold, you would want to read The Monkey Wrench Gang group, Desert Solitaire, you’d want to read Stegner; you’d want to read probably some stuff I tell you Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, a number of authors, certainly Silent Spring (Rachel Carson). Maybe a dozen or so books that you would want to have in that reading group. I think my reading of all of them has been effective. I think it really kind of set me in motion as to what really natural resources finally is about. For example, as I read Stegner’s stuff, especially his book Beyond the Hundredth Meridian, he talked about how in the early days the surveyors and the early explorers, they knew the west was dry and they tried to get congress to build state lines along watershed boundaries, rather than the straight lines that we have. But they couldn’t quite get the votes in congress because congress wanted to make it real easy rather than along watershed boundaries. It was close, they almost got it. It was a shame that they didn’t, and it’s a shame that we don’t go back and redo the state boundaries. BA: Um-hmm. DA: But those are some of the books that I thought were pretty influential. I think that Dr. Colthrap was probably very influential to me in my first few years at USU. BA: And that was the watershed person? DA: Yes. Dr. Hanks over in Agriculture who was my thesis director for my Master’s degree (which was in soils) [laughs] was very influential. Fred Gifford who was my Master’s Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  25   �thesis committee chair was also – I had a really unusual schooling! And then Phil Urness and Dr. Smith when I got into my professional work. BA: Art Smith. And what was the first name? DA: Arthur. BA: But you’d mentioned – DA: Oh, Phillip Urness. BA: Phillip Urness, okay. DA: U-R-N-E-S-S. BA: Thank you. DA: We did a lot of stuff together. I think I’ve got 53 technical publications, I think most of them are done with Phil. BA: So the first three people are really your education? DA: Yes. BA: Influences in your education. DA: Right. BA: And then Art Smith was also here. DA: He was my first boss. BA: That sounds very much like a very close colleague in terms of Urness and publications. DA: Yes, we were. He was my boss but we worked really good together for years. BA: Okay, so those are two DWR employees? DA: Well, no they were university. BA: They were USU? DA: Yes, and they were very influential. BA: Is there something you can describe about that influence that was important to you that you can think of? Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  26   �DA: Well it was really good because a lot of times university professors will take publication credits – first authorship – for their students on their publications. In the early days when I first started, we sat down and we decided that we weren’t going to it that way. We decided that whoever did most of the work was first author. Everything that I did in terms of fieldwork I was first author on, with one exception. That one exception was when it was kind of on the border and I took second author on that. That was a tremendous incentive to do it right! I think I said I have 53 publications, I have one rejection; one paper I was never able to publish. So that’s a pretty good percentage. BA: Yeah, no kidding! Going back to the books, when you look at all of those books, those are dated in time, but not dated in importance. DA: Correct. BA: Are there some current titles that you would look at that you think of emerging or have emerged as being important? Because my guess is that you are a big reader. DA: I read a fair amount. I haven’t read any of the newer stuff that I was as impressed with, very honestly. BA: Okay. DA: You know, I go back and I’ll read Leopold or Muir and I’ll get a lot out of it. To me, and maybe I’m wrong, but to me the older authors (including Audubon and these guys) they were on the field, in the land and looking at the land from an inside point of view. The authors that I’m reading today are extremely good writers and they have more knowledge available to them, but it’s like their looking at the system rather than within the system. That’s kind of my view. Even though a lot of it is emotional and there’s lots of great experiences, I just feel like there’s a different point of reference from what I’ve read over the last several years. BA: Well and based on some of the other things you’ve said, that seems to fit very closely with the idea of how NR has moved away from being as field based as it could. Because that experiential approach of field camp, classes in the field, and the work in the field; then when you become a professional, spending much more time – DA: Right. I just feel like that is the real difference. If you can show me a person that spends 80 or 90% of their time in the field and is still able to write, that’s the kind of stuff that I think you can really relate to. But I shouldn’t say anything because these authors are doing very well. BA: Oh yeah. DA: Some of them are doing very well. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  27   �BA: But as you’re saying, there’s a different orientation with that. DA: Um-hmm. BA: And we see that with other aspects: observation, experience, and that common knowledge. DA: Even some of the older writers you can look at some of the stuff they do, and you’re going, “he was there, but he’s looking at it rather than being in it.” There are some of the other writers that I don’t care for that express their views in that kind of a setting. BA: Hmm. Interesting. Well thank you. This has been fascinating. I have a feeling we have some unanswered questions here. I would like to maybe pursue it at a later date. What we’re going to do though, right now, is ask Dennis if there are any final comments that he would like to make. [Stop and start recording] BA: We’re going to pick up with Dennis again. DA: I’m going to talk about a few of the experiences and situations that have occurred in Logan Canyon over the years. The first one I’ll talk about is pine marten because in the early days we had pine marten on the Cache. They apparently died out around the 1930s because that’s the last time they were seen. And then the Forest Service (about 1995) transplanted about 20-30 pine marten from Island Park up in Idaho, to the Cache National Forest up in the Franklin and Gibson Basin areas. Those marten have taken and they are continuing to maintain their population up there to this time. Now I haven’t seen any in the last two years, but I used to go on my cross-country skis way back up from Beaver Creek all the way to Gibson Basin. Once you get to the Idaho line, everybody stops, but if you go further, you’ll run into habitat that is inhabited by marten. They’re still there and that’s an unusual species that is pretty neat to have around. BA: Could you describe the habitat that they really thrive in? DA: Mostly dense conifer; their major prey species are voles. But they’ll also eat red squirrels, which I’ve seen them chase. That’s fun to see if you’ve ever seen a pine marten chase a red squirrel, it’s really fun. [Laughing] BA: How do they do it? DA: Just as fast as they can go! Up trees, down trees, across the ground, over piles of wood. Annie and I saw that, a really interesting chase up in Yellowstone one year, coming out of Union Falls. But that was fun. So that’s the pine marten. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  28   �The wolverine is really a little more interesting because I’ve got a little more observation there. The question that came up years ago is, “Do we ever get wolverine on the Cache?” Wolverine, lynx, and the pine marten. And we talked about pine marten. In ten years we had one lynx that came into the Cache Valley mountains. The tracks were cut by me, and then two weeks later by a Forest Service employee. That’s the only verifiable lynx that I know of. But the wolverine. I began to ask sportsmen and Forest Service employees – anybody I could that was in the woods a lot – “have you seen a wolverine?” Over a ten year period I put together a map. And every time I’d get an observation that I felt like was probably a wolverine (like 95% -- if it was less 95% probability I’d throw it out). So everything I got is highly probable; then I would put a dot on the map. After ten years, I had like 20 dots and they are all centered in the same area. Like there was none over in Blacksmith Fork, there was none on the Wellsvilles, there was one over toward Monte Cristo: they’re all centered in the top of Logan Canyon, basically to the north of Logan Canyon near the top. BA: A forest type and elevation? DA: Yep, forest type; often in rocks, rocky terrain, but not necessarily. High Creek Lake has several reports up there. But they’re all centered in that Gibson area, Gibson Basin to High Creek Lake area. And we put together a little piece that I published in the Herald Journal on that. [In 1995] I saw a wolverine. [Before that the only one that I had scene was] when I was like 17 down in Salt Lake. [In 1995] I was skiing way back into Gibson Basin and had gotten almost back to the basin itself, but not quite. There’s a transitional zone there where the canyon gets steep and there’s some really warm micro-habitat in there. I cut through wolverine tracks – and it was an adult and a juvenile (because of the size of the two tracks). BA: What size are we looking at with these? DA: Oh, they’re about four inches in diameter – they’re between a cougar and a bobcat, generally, and they’re a furrier track and a little more round. They’re not easy to distinguish, but you can. I followed those two wolverine for a while and that was kind of a unique observation. So we do have wolverine on the Cache forest. They do get here once in a while; my guess is we have two to four permanent wolverines that range from Logan Canyon road, north clear to Soda Springs – in that entire range. BA: And they range in that area? DA: Yes. BA: That’s how large they range? DA: Wide, wide ranging critters. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  29   �BA: Holy cow! DA: That’s why we just don’t see them very often. BA: Right. DA: And since I wrote that article, I’ve had two more additional people call me about two sightings that I accepted were wolverines. On this particular study or analysis, I was probably rejecting about two thirds, to three quarters of the observations that people were giving me because they just weren’t good enough. BA: Do people document them with pictures for you? DA: No, no one had a picture. It was all either visual sighting – “I got a really good look at him, but I didn’t get a picture.” BA: Right. DA: In a couple of cases I accepted tracks, but they had to be good biologists, you know. They had to be able to say, you know, you could see the fifth claw and that sort of thing. BA: Interesting. Go back to the lynx for a minute. When you talk about they’re just so rare – what’s your reason for it? DA: And lynx are tied into snowshoe hare and the snowshoe hare population – that’s part of the reason I started snowshoe hare transects, is to find out what is going on with our population. Because the idea is that as you go further south from boreal forest type, that your population cycles: snowshoe hare populating go extremely high and extremely low. We didn’t know what it was doing here. That’s the only lynx that I have ever encountered one way or another. I don’t think they’re here. But the cougar is the really interesting. There’s a lot to be said on the cougar on the Cache District in Logan Canyon. The stories are innumerable. BA: Well tell us a little bit about your experiences with them. DA: Well my first experience with a cougar was when I was 16 or 17 (I can’t remember which) and I had a date and she forgot. So I went up the canyon and with a weak-beamed flashlight, I was hiking back in one of the canyons at night and I heard this scream. And it scared the daylights out of me. My teenage invincibility was gone, and I didn’t know what it was. It was a cougar. And since then we have had a lot of cougar experiences as a family. [Stop and start recording] [Tape 2 of 2: B] Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  30   �BA: Tape 2, side 2. DA: We [family] were camped outside Yellowstone Park and I had the kids with me and they were all pretty young. I thought everybody was asleep and I heard this cougar screaming – it was way out. We had the stream running by us, there was a little bit of water noise, and this cougar got closer, and closer, and closer. It screamed about every three or four minutes. If you’ve ever heard them scream (and very few people have) it sounds like a woman in mortal terror. That’s the best way to describe it. But the cougar got pretty close, and I said to the family (because I thought everybody was asleep), I said, “Is anybody awake?” Instantly Annie and every one of the kids sat up in their sleeping bags – they’d all been hearing it thinking everybody else was asleep! [Laughing] We pulled the kids out of their sleeping bags, threw them into the van (even though I didn’t think there was much danger), but I mean this cougar was screaming at the top of his lungs, and it was right by us. I got everybody into the van and turned my flashlight on and there – ten feet from the van was this cougar. You could see his eyes in that beam. There wasn’t much of a reflection, but you could see him right there. My kids can still remember it. [Laughing] BA: Holy cow! So why was he so gregarious with coming in? DA: Well, that’s the time when they’re breeding. BA: Okay. DA: He was calling, screaming for a mate – she or he, I don’t know which. What a great experience! When I took over the Cache position, we had a lot of cougar and not very many deer. The first year – they’d had one or two permits on the Cache Forest for years in terms of cougar harvest. The first year I just went into the RAC meeting not knowing very much and I asked for 30 permits. BA: Tell us what RAC is? DA: Regional Advisory Council for the Division of Wildlife Resources, which makes their recommendation to the board which sets policy. BA: Okay, and they’re made up of local citizens? DA: They’re made up of seven people – well the RACs are local people generally, that have an interest. Anyway, I went into that meeting and I ended up getting I think two permits that first year. I didn’t like that because I knew there were cougars all over the place. So the next year for the recommendation process, I prepared a two or three page summary of what Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  31   �was going on and took it first to a committee meeting of DWR biologists. At that time we had a biologist who was the predator manager– I don’t know what his title was, but he did cougars. We sat in this meeting and I said, “I want 30 permits because I’ve got 120 cougars on the Cache.” (Because that was my estimate.) He looked at me and he said, “Dennis, you don’t even have 30 cougars on the Cache, let alone 120!” (Actually I was asking for 40 permits, that’s right, I asked for 40.) He said, “You don’t even have 40 permits on the whole Cache!” And I called him by name and I said, “You give me 40 permits and three good weekends of snow and I’ll show you 40 dead cougars.” I got 35 permits, we had three weekends of snow, we killed 37 cougars. BA: Wow. DA: We went over our limit because some of the cougar hunters had gone out that last day when I had 34 and we ended up killing three the last day. [Laughing] So we got on top of the cougar population. It took us a few years to do it, but we got on top of it. BA: And then the deer population? DA: The deer population responded a little bit. Hard to say. You know, there are so many other factors involved. But we did get on top of the cougars. I had cougars coming out of my ears! I had people calling me. Dry Canyon in Providence in Canyon – we had a cougar that would come down in this lady’s backyard. I would go over there (of course I could never find it when I was there). Come hunting season I would send a cougar hunter right there. He went up that mountain, found a cougar and got it. I had a cougar just above Mantua, Malibu Campground – in that little housing place (I can’t think of the name of it off hand) and this cougar would come down and sit on the porch. It started growling at people – and we sent a hunter after that cougar. And we killed that cougar. Then we had the cougars in (oh, what’s the name of that canyon? Just above the Forest Service house in the canyon there.) BA: I know where you mean. DA: I can’t think of the name off hand. But we had sheep being killed up there by cougars in the summer. So we got ADC to go in there (Animal Damage Control), federal people, to go in there and kill these cougars. They didn’t kill one cougar – they killed five cougars in that one little drainage! You know the old concept was that cougars kill each other (and they do) and they’re very territorial and they still are because under the long-term environmentals where they developed over the last 10,000 years they had to be because the deer resource was very sparse. Since man came along we began livestock grazing, controlling predators; all of a sudden cougars have got all kinds of stuff to eat – they don’t have to worry about it as much. So my theory was they didn’t have to kill each other to maintain their territory, so they were all enjoying feasts. So that’s one of the reasons that I think cougar populations are much harder to control now is because they have – over the last century – adapted to a higher prey base than they ever had before. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  32   �BA: How do you know – when you look at sheep when someone called you out and they said, “we think it’s cougar” – how could you tell that it was not something else that had attacked that animal? DA: By the bite marks. BA: And what would they be? DA: They would be the bite marks – I am not an expert at that by any means. The ADC guys (the Animal Damage Control guys) are really experts. They can just skin it back, pull the skin back, and then they just look at the bite marks on the neck. That will distinguish a cougar practically every time. BA: Now did you ever work with trappers in your time? You mentioned ADC. DA: Not very much. A few trappers. The most interesting story was I had a trapper, I won’t tell you his name, and he trapped bobcat (because you can’t trap cougar). He was trapping bobcat and he was very successful at it for years (probably still doing it); a very good man, a very good trapper. I get this call one night and he says, “Dennis, I got a cougar in one of my bobcat traps.” It was night so I said, “Let’s go up and get it in the morning.” So we went up in the morning and hiked up the mountain where his trap was. Sure enough, there was a cougar in his bobcat trap. He said to me, “How are we going to release this?” Because he couldn’t do that. And I said, “There is no way in this world that either one of us is going to go try and release this cougar.” I had a gun and we just shot it. We killed the cougar. Then the interesting thing was we checked his next trap (which was just around the bend) and it also had a cougar in it! So we got two cougars in two bobcat traps right there. That was an interesting experience! BA: I can’t imagine even trying to release. DA: Yes, but they’re there. And we don’t know whether trappers, when they get cougars, would kill them or not. We just don’t know. It’s impossible to check them all. But it probably happens. We had a river otter taken one year in Logan Canyon. It was captured and killed by a trapper who was trapping beaver up there. He brought us this river otter; I think it is still frozen in one of our freezers some place! But that was the only river otter that I know of that’s been in Logan Canyon, except that about two weeks before we got the carcass, I had a report of a river otter in Logan Canyon that was seen sliding down (as they typically do) the snow banks into the river. BA: Oh my! DA: That report was by my son. One of my sons had seen it and I said, “Oh no, you must have seen something wrong.” Two weeks later, we get a river otter that had been trapped in the same area. Fascinating. BA: Hmm. Land  Use  Management  Oral  History  Project:  Dennis  Austin       Page  33   �DA: The cougar situation is being controlled a lot better now and I think they’ve done a pretty good job. My best experience – and I’ve seen seven cougars in the wild over my career which is a lot. There is hardly anybody that can say that they’ve seen that many. The one that was the most unique was when I was classifying deer (it was in the fall) and I was coming up out of Garden City. I was about three miles up Garden City road – I was classifying deer – it was in the evening, late evening, and I see seven deer off to the side of the road. Well, the highway has a little turnoff there at the corner, so I pulled over to that little gravel area and got out and looked to classify those deer. There were four does and three fawns, I can still remember. I looked at them and the strange thing was they weren’t looking at me. They were looking a little off into the bushes. And I go, “what is going on?” Then all of a sudden – just simultaneously – they just ran! They were just gone, strutting away. I am looking around, and there (well I measured the distance, I can’t remember what it was), but it was like 30 feet or less was this cougar. BA: Laying low? DA: He’d been sitting there laying low in the bushes watching those deer, sneaking up on them. He was not happy with me; he stood up and just kind of cowered through the sagebrush. I watched him, [it was] quite an experience. BA: Oh! That would be. DA: That was fun. BA: I bet you had dozens and hundreds of those kinds of experiences with different kinds of wildlife in your career. DA: I have. BA: You know, especially with your comment about being so oriented to the field and then the family time that you’ve spent out. DA: Yes I did. There was a lot of wonderful experiences and things that, you know, you just can’t replace. You can’t replace them. BA: Well, thank you very much. This has been just thoroughly enjoyable. DA: For me too. BA: It’s really good talking to you. I appreciate it.

Title A name given to the resource Detonation at the Thistle Road Cut on December 16, 1983 Description An account of the resource This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Title A name given to the resource Downed Highway 89 Road Sign on December 16, 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.

Present needs can be identified using existing information on roadway design and current traffic volumes. However, in order to assess future traffic needs, an estimate of future traffic volumes is needed. This technical memorandum describes the present traffic patterns in Logan Canyon (Canyon), the techniques used to forecast future traffic volumes, and the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume forecast for the year 2010. After the ADT has been determined, an appropriate peaking factor (based upon recorded peak hour traffic volumes) will be selected. The design traffic volume will then be established using the peaking factor (the peaking factor is the percent of the ADT which occurs during the peak hour) . AVAILABLE DATA Data on current and past traffic volumes in Logan Canyon and roads in the surrounding area is available and has been used in the preparation of this memorandum. The information available is as follows: o Permanent counting station on US 89 at the Card Guard Station in Logan Canyon, from 1973 to 1983. Daily and hourly directional volumes Monthly and annual summaries o Permanent counting station on US 89 west of Garden City, from 1983 to present (moved from Card Guard Station) . Daily and hourly Directional volumes Monthly and annual summaries o Permanent counting station on US 89 north of Garden City from 1966 to present. Daily and hourly directional volumes Monthly and annual summaries o Permanent counting station S-89-91 on Sardine Summit, from 1975 to present. 1 �Daily and hourly directional volumes ( Monthly and annual summaries o Permanent counting station us 91 at Webster Junction, north of Logan, from 1966 to present. Daily and hourly directional volumes Monthly and annual summaries o Manual counts taken during 1984, 1985 and 1986. o "1986 Baseline Projections", State of Utah, Office of Planning and Budget. The two permanent counting stations on US 89 and information presented in 1986 Baseline Projections were used as primary sources of data in the preparation of forecasts. The manual counts were used to provide classification data and distribution of traffic through the Canyon. The permanent stations on US 91 were used for reference only. CURRENT TRAFFIC VOLUMES ( The past traffic volumes in the Canyon have been summarized in Table 1. Traffic volume in the Canyon is highly seasonal. Summer ADT's are often as much as three times greater than winter ADT's and nearly twice the annual ADT. The increase in summer traffic volume is attributable to the recreational opportunities in the Canyon, the resort and condominium development around Bear Lake, and through traffic to Yellowstone and Teton National Parks. Because of the highly seasonal variation in traffic volumes in the Canyon, it is recommended that the summer traffic volumes be used to prepare a forecast ADT. The annual summaries taken from data gathered at the permanent counting stations, and the results of the manual counts taken to date, have been included as an appendices to this memorandum. FORECASTING TECHNIQUES Traffic forecasting is not an exact science. The function of our roads and highway is primarily to provide a safe, and where possible convenient, means of passage from one point to another. It is for this reason that when forecasting traffic volumes, it is necessary to look at the factors that would cause a change in traffic volume. Economic and population growth will usually bring about increased traffic volumes as will changes in land use. 2 �Table 1 RECORDED TRAFFIC VOLUME LOGAN CANYON (CARD GUARD STATION) ( Year 1973 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982** 1984** 1985 Annual ADT (Vehicles Per Day) 1774 1558 1680 1767 1922 1902 1806 1813 1887 1848 1740 1773 * Summer ADT (Vehicles Per Day) 2793 2798 3022 3140 3461 3400 3180 3276 3424 3406 3503 3536 * **June, July and August Adjusted to reflect difference in traffic between Card Guard Station where counter was originally installed and the present location west of Garden City. The station was moved in August of 1983. 1983 data was not used. Station moved to new location in 1983 and data is from two locations. SLC82/01 �( The "Transportation and Traffic Engineering Handbook", published by the Institute of Traffic Engineers discusses two techniques used to forecast future traffic volume. One technique uses expected changes in population and economic conditions to estimate future traffic flows, and the other uses anticipated changes in land use. However, both of these techniques are discussed in relation to urban and regional or statewide planning. The State of Utah also utilizes a method of forecasting traffic volumes which utilizes anticipated changes in land use and population in an urban area. Cache and Rich Counties are not urban population centers and these techniques will have to be carefully applied if they are to be used and provide satisfactory results on US 89 through Logan Canyon. For this study, three techniques for forecasting have been utilized and the results of each compared before recommending a planning level ADT. These three techniques are: o o o Projection of past trends Economic and population forecasts Landuse change forecasts TRAFFIC FORECASTS PAST TREND FORECASTING A past trends forecast assumes that the trend established by past changes in traffic volume will continue into the future. If the period of record is long enough, the impact of changing economic and population conditions should be reflected in the trend. For this study, two types of analysis have been utilized in preparing a forecast using this technique. A "least squares best fit" line has been determined for the existing data and the line extrapolated into the future . •The least squares approach assumes a linear increase in traffic volume, which is not usually the case. Typically, long term growth will approximate an exponential curve, so for this study, an exponential function was also fit to the data. The increases in traffic volume forecast using the best fit and exponential analysis are summarized in Table 2. This type of analysis has two weaknesses when applied to Logan Canyon. 1) The period of record is short, especially when compared to the length of the planning period. In this case the function is extrapolated over a long period of time, 2.5 times the period of record. 2) There is also a significant scatter to the data points. With so few points and significant scatter, it is difficult to feel that the forecast is as reliable as would be prefered. 4 �Table 2 PAST TREND TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECAST LOGAN CANYON - CARD GUARD STATION ( Forecast ADT Year Linear 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 3293 3542 3792 4042 4291 4541 4790 3276 3630 3976 4355 4769 5224 5721 45 75 Percent Increase 1980 to 2010 SLC82/01 Exponential �( In an effort to overcome these weaknesses a similar forecast was prepared for the station on US 89 north of Garden City~ This station has a longer period of record and may provide an indication of the long term trend in the general area. The results of those analysis are summaried in Table 3. Upon comparing the forecast increase at each station, the summer traffic using an exponential function to fit data points, shows a total increase of 75 percent from 1980 to 2010 in the Canyon and a total increase of 77 percent on US 89 north of Garden City. The straight line extrapotalions show a larger spread (45 and 52 percent). Figures 1 and 2 graphically illustrates these past trends based forecasts. ECONOMIC AND POPULATION FORECASTING Using economic and population forecasts as a basis for estimating future traffic volumes assumes a relationship between population growth, economic activity, and changes in traffic volume. In preparing economic and population forecasts, specialists in economics, geography, demography and other social sciences all combine their expertise to develop projections of population growth and economic activity. Estimates of future changes in traffic volumes are then made based upon forecast changes in population and economic conditions. ( The State of Utah, Office of Planning and Budget prepares an annual projection of Utah's population and economic conditions. The "1986 Baseline Projections" which project population and economic conditions through the year 2010 has recently been released. In the report it states that it is, " ... an annual update of the baseline or most likely economic and demographic conditions, through the year 2010, for the State of Utah, its counties, and its multi-county planning districts ... ". Table 4 summarizes the expected populations within the Bear River and Wasatch Front areas. The area is expected to increase in population from approximately 1,156,150 in 1985 to 1,860,500 in 2010; an average compounded increase of approximately 1.95 percent per year. Using a projected annual growth rate of 1.95 percent, the ADT in Logan Canyon at the Card Guard Station would be expected to increase from 3276 vehicles per day in 1980 to 5847 vehicles per day in 2010. This compares closely with the 5721 vehicles per day forecast using the past trends techniques. The increase in traffic from 1985 to 2010, using economic and population change as a basis for traffic forecasts, is summarized . in Table 5. Figure 3 is a graphical illustration of the past trends and economic and population ADT forecast. 6 �Table 3 PAST TREND TRAFFIC VOLUME FORECAST US 89 NORTH OF GARDEN CITY ( Forecast ADT Year Linear Exponential 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 3137 3410 3683 3956 4229 4502 4775 3123 3436 3781 4160 4579 5065 5542 52 77 Percent Increase 1980 to 2010 SLC82/01 �( ( YEAR 1970 1980 1975 1985 1995 1990 2005 2000 2010 7000 6000 W // ~ ::> ...J 0 > L 5000 () /'" V"'- ~~ U.

Most of US 89 in Logan Canyon is in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Forest has recently completed it's Forest Management Plan, and no significant changes in management of the land in and adjacent to Logan Canyon is planned. Therefore, there is no reason to believe that there would be an increase in traffic as a result of actions taken by the Forest Service. ( There is much private land in Rich Country adjacent to Bear Lake and nearby. At the present time, this private land is primarily being used for agriculture. The lower land being cultivated with the higher and timbered land being used for livestock grazing. There is much interest however in developing recreational facilities around Bear Lake. A number of cabin and condominium developments have been built and many more are planned. In 1981, a survey showed 1011 developed cabins or condominium units along the south and west shores. At that time, there were also 17,420 planned units, an increase of over 1,600 percent. If all of these units were to be completed by the year 2010 (as the developers hope), the summer ADT would increase to 53,171 vehicles per day at the end of the planning period. While continued recreational development is to be expected around Bear Lake, it is unlikely that it will have the impact on Logan Canyon traffic shown using this technique. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The past trend and population and economic growth techniques for forecasting future traffic volumes produced a surprisingly close estimate of the year 2010 summer ADT (comparing the exponential function past trends forecast with the population and economic growth forecast). A forecast based upon anticipated recreational development around Bear Lake produces a volume over nine times as great as the other two techniques. It is not unreasonable to assume that the increase in traffic volume in Logan Canyon would generally follow the increase in population in northern Utah. It is therefore recommended that the ADT for the year 2010 used in this study be 5900 vehicles per day. SLC82/01 ( 12 �·~ " � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Title A name given to the resource Earth Moving Equipment at Thistle on November 10, 1983 Description An account of the resource This image documents the Thistle Flood that began in April 1983 with a massive mud slide that created an earthen dam, blocking the flow of the Spanish Fork River. In addition to severing Highway 89 as a transportation route, the dam destroyed the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks, cutting off the railroad link between Salt Lake and Denver. As flood waters rose, the town of Thistle (located on Highway 89) was inundated with the water that would form Thistle Lake. Massive construction efforts were made between 1983 and 1984 to reconstruct rail and road lines, as well as divert and drain water from Thistle Lake into the nearby Spanish Fork River.

Title A name given to the resource Entrance to the Second Thistle Drain Tunnel on September 06, 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.

Weston - UDOT Al Stilley - Northern Engineering & Testing Dave Baumgartner - USFS-Logan Stan Nuffer - CH2M HILL Cliff Forsgren - CH2M HILL Duncan Silver - FHWA Howard Richardson - UDOT Sheldon Barker - CH2M HILL Tom Haislip - CH2M HILL John D'Amico - CH2M HILL Frank Grover - USFS-SLC Steve Flint - Bridgerland Audobon Association Stan Nuffer called the meeting to order and asked members of the group to introduce themselves. Following the introductions, some of the members were asked to briefly describe their views of the project and its objectives. Jim Naegle indicated that UDOT wants a thorough investigation and has no preconceived idea as to what, if anything, should be done in the canyon. He expressed appreciation for the interest of the environmental community and the public in general. He also wants members of the 1.0. Team to have full input into all phases of the project. The most serious problems in the canyon presently are narrow and obsolete bridges which are in need of repair or replacement. Lynn Zollinger explained that UDOT has a responsibility to the traveling public to provide safe, efficient transportation. UDOT wants to satisfy the needs of the traveling public and the environmental community. He expects an openminded study with adequate input from all of the interested public. Dave Baumgartner said that the rules of the environmental "ball game" have changed since the '70's. A successful study is dependant upon public support and understanding. This project will be a challenging one and standard solutions will probably not work in every instance. I 1 �( Todd Weston stated that he does not have any notion that there will ever be a freeway or a 4-lane highway through the canyon. He feels that there are more problems in the canyon than old bridges and the study must address those problems without being locked into one concept. He does expect ideas to improve transportation can be implemented. Rudy Lukez stated that there are many personal feelings about the canyon and that some people will be upset if there is a large construction project in it. The canyon is an environmentally sensitive area and there is a need for careful study and analysis before any work can begin. The environmental community desires to be kept informed. Rudy also expressed concern that meetings held during the day may be difficult for those who work elsewhere to attend. Steve Flint stated that there were many people who questioned the transportation needs in the canyon. Stan Nuffer then explained the I.D. Team and the role of each I.D. Team member. The I.D. Team is to function as the group which reviews scope, data, methodology and conclusions of the study and determines whether each stage of the study adequately addresses the 'critical issues and meets the objectives of the study. Gale Larson said that Valley Engineering's office in Logan will be the local contact point and someone will be available for questions at least 10 hours per week. Valley Engineering will also perform the field surveys and traffic counts. Some traffic counts were conducted during the ski season in order to have the information available for the study this summer. Gale expects to work closely with Sheldon Barker with the public involvement task work. Stan Nuffer then introduced the Scope of Work, as included in the consulting agreement between UDOT and CH2M HILL, and led the discussion on the tasks outlined in the agreement. Task 1 - ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORTATION NEEDS The discussion covered the major areas of potential need covered in the agreement; safety, maintenance, substandard geometrics, and congestion. If areas with substandard geometrics are identified, options to correct the problems will be identified, these may include road re-alignment. During the discussion of congestion, Rudy Lukez asked what was meant by levels of service c,d,e. Stan Nuffer gave a brief description and said that detailed descriptions will be provided to members of the I.D. Team in a Technical Memo. Rudy Lukez also asked how traffic projections were determined. Stan Nuffer said that UDOT uses projections of population 2 �( prepared by local councils of governments and other agencies who are charged with the task of preparing proiections of that type. TASK 2 - LOCATION STUDIES The study area will include the roadway between Right Hand Fork and Garden City. The alternatives listed in the contract scope will be evaluated as well as others identified during the course of the study. New roadway alignments may also be considered from the summit to Garden City. John Neal asked what the termini of the project were. FHWA must approve the termini in order for the project to be eligible for funding. Lynn Zollinger said that Logan City to Garden City had been proposed to the FWHA and he expects approval shortly. Since Logan to Right Hand Fork has already been improved there would be no action considered on that stretch of road. Tom Haislip said that the development of the alternatives will be one of the biggest phases of the project. Mapping was also discussed. Existing mapping available through UDOT will be used on the project wherever possible, however adequate mapping is · not available over the entire route. As the mapping is completed, maps will be made available to members of the 1.0. Team. TASK 3 - GEOTECHNICAL INVESTIGATIONS ( The extent of the geotechnical investigations will be determined as alternatives are developed. It is expected that they will be needed primarily in areas where re-alignment is considered. Dave Baumgartner expressed concern about the role of the I.D. ream in this study. If the team is to be advisory only, he does not think a satisfactory solution to identified problems can be found. To be successful, the I.D. Team should have a role in establishing study criteria and in formulating recommendations. Other team members expressed their views on the subject, and expressed their belief that the 1.0. Team would function in a manner that would lead to a successful resolution of the transportation problems identified in the study. TASK4 - PUBLIC AND AGENCY INVOLVEMENT Sheldon Barker said that CH2M HILL would make three promises in the public involvement program; (1) to be a good listener, (2) to get input from all interested individuals and groups and to treat each with respect, 3) when the report is prepared, it would contain no surprises because everyone had been involved in the process. 3 �. ( ( The scoping process was also discussed. It will include the development of the project objective, holding informationai meetings to educate the public, meetings with small groups as well as large, preparation of a video tape, and maintaining a project office in Logan where interested parties could come to obtain information on the project. Rudy Lukez suggested that information also be made available at the USU Library and the Logan Public Library so that it would be available during evening hours. Sheldon Barker said that the suggestion was a good one and it will be implemented. There was considerable discussion on the number and scheduling of meetings. Rudy Lukez did not feel that a lot of meetings was necessarily a good thing. He used as an example the recent meetings held by the Division of Water Resources on the proposal to build a dam on the Bear River. Meetings should be proceeded by 2 or 3 weeks of media coverage and should be well prepared. Rudy was also not certain if there would be any value to meeting with small groups because it would not' give people with differing views an opportunity to hear the opinions of others. Sheldon Barker indicated that the different views would come out in the larger public meetings and that meeting with small groups would give the project team the opportunity to better prepare for the larger meetings. Rudy Lukez said that fall would be the best time to hold the scoping meetings because more people would be able to attend. ( . TASK 5 - COORDINATION Tom Haislip discussed the 1.0. Team and its organization and the need to have each member involved. TASK 6 - ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESS~lENT Tom Haislip said that the 1.0. Team would playa key role in the project by providing input and direction to the study team. Tom also asked for help from the environmental community. If there were any data or studies that are available and not in UDOT files, they may be of great help in the study. Rudy Lukez said that there was a study underway at USU investigating the impact that high speed traffic has on deer. Tom Haislip indicated that field studies were not planned because there is extensive information available. Tom also explained that it is intended that Technical Memos be prepared presenting in detail the findings of each phase of the study. After the 1.0. Team has reviewed, discussed, and revised the Technical Memos, the information would be summarized and placed in the report. 4 �( There was more discussion on the role of the 1.0. Team. Dave Baumgartner again expressed his concern that 1.0. Team members be in a position to do more than simply review conclusions and give their comments. Stan Nuffer said that study data, methodology, and conclusions would all be presented to the I.D. Team and discussed before incorporating anything into the report. Tom Haislip said that CH2M HILL's job would be to the "doers" who would gather information, review data and prepare Technical Memos for the I.D. Team. The I.D. Team would then review and discuss the memos and hopefully resolve any differences. Dave Baumgartner said that it may be necessary for superiors in each agency to resolve conflicts if they could not be handled on the I.D. Team level. He also indicated that the whole process would work much better if each alternative developed offered a real solution to the problems so that the alternative evaluation would be believable. Todd Weston pointed out that the Forest Service, UDOT, and rHWA must all agree to whatever solutions are presented in the report. If any of the three agencies disagree with the findings, the project will never be completed. ( In discussions at the end of the meeting, there was no agreement as to when the first public information meeting should be held, or what purpose it should serve. After further discussion, it was decided that the date of the first meeting should be set after the next I.D. Team meeting. It was recommended that a feature article on "the project be prepared for the Logan paper. This should be published prior to the Logan public information meeting. The next meeting will be held on Monday June 23, at 7:00 p.m. at District 1 headquarters in Ogden. SLC73/39 ( 5 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Work will be performed in compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), CEQ regulations, and appropriate directives from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS). The consultant will use an ~nterdisciplinary approach (CEQ 1502.6) to prepare the draft environmental document. UDOT will be continuously involved in interdiscipline discussions and activities. The consultant will organize study groups to include members as outlined below: Task No. 1,2,4,5,6,7 1,2,4,5,6,7 1,2,6 1,2,6 1 2,4,6 3 4 4,6 6 6 !

'-, TASK DESCRIPTIONS TASK 1: ANALYSIS OF TRANSPORTATION NEEDS The following factors contributing to undesirable traveling conditions are to be reviewed. After obtaining relevant readily available information from the UDOT Statewide Planning Section, the UDOT Division of Safety and the Utah Department of Public Safety, the following five topics shall .be covered: o Safety - Locations within the project limits, considered to be unsafe, will be identified. Accidents will be evaluated as to type, time of occurrence, severity, and possible causes. The resulting evaluation will correlate accident characteristics and geometric features and determine which accidents were caused by rock, soil, or snow materials moving onto the highway. A comparative analysis using UDOT summary data will weigh accident rates with those of one to two other state highways of a similar nature. Raw data, consisting of specific accident reports for high accident locations provided by UDOT, may be used in the analysis. o Maintenance - A 3-year record of annual maintenance costs will be provided by the Maintenance Division of UDOT for the purposes of the consultant developing: Per mile costs for corridor, Specific locations with unusally high costs, Statewide costs for a comparative analysis. The locations of adverse conditions that contribute to high maintenance costs will be located on topographic alig?ment maps. Maintenance cost data available from UDOT will be complemented by subjective interviews with UDOT District One maintenance personnel. Substandard Geometrics - The consultant shall identify and appraise specific substandard geometric locations. '\ v~,(~ (V\oV1J\) 1 ~oC;· p~ UDOT shall make available to the consultant, a road log filmstrip of the existing highway and all ~ available "as built" plans covering the length of the project. ': .. , '- " . . "-. . . �I ' o / Congestion The intensity and regularity of congestion will be determined in terms of Level of Service. The analysis will be based on procedures described in TRB Special Report 209 and will include: ~C~ pi"~'L ~~ Highway Capacities: Levels of Service C, r(, ~ ndrE will be determined for the length of ~ N~kN - ~~ project. Vehicular Demand: Present demand will be established, based on data, from the permanent traffic counter No. 362, located west of Garden City and from on-project counts to be taken by the consultant. Two locations, Beay er Mountain Ski area and Ri t F k wi ii e surveyed in the winter months for 10-hour periods on 2 week days and 2 weekend days. Two additional locations will be surveyed in the summer months for 10-hour periods on 2 week days and 2 weekend days. These shall reflect hourly peaks, vehicular types, and intersection turning movements. Traffic Projections: Traffic demand for the year 2010 will be estimated from information supplied by . UDOT. (~\Js.-\ co\\~<-~l"'~") Levels of Service: Present and year 2010 levels will be determined and expressed in both peak and average hours. Other Observed Needs and Deficiencies: As the consultant becomes familiar with the highway section, other deficiencies may become evident and if so, they are to be noted in the environmental document. An Analysis of Transportation Needs will be included in the Technical Appendix (described in T6640.8, Attachment, page 25) and a summary of transportation problems will be included in the draft document under "Purpose of the Keen for p_ction" (see T6640.8, Attachment, pages 7-8). TASK 2: LOCATION STUDIES (tv\l"'lMV~' ) In this task the consultant, with assistance from UDOT, FHWA, and the USFS, will prepare a transportation plan for the corridor. In addi tion to the "No--A .ction II a J ternati ve, up tc iivF 2 ff i tiorRl alterna~~v0~ will be devel ope d th2t will iEcorrcr2tE= t ]~ ~ fc' ) J owing components: �Hand Fork to Garden City Spot improvements to existing roadway Resurfacing and resigning of existing roadway Widening along existing alignment, including slow moving vehicle lanes, passing lanes, and/or minor alignment changes. Reconstruction along existing alignment Summit to Garden City Two new routings, including routes to the south or north of the existing highway The ex~sting UDOT mapping at a scale of 1" = 100', with 2-foot contours, will be used for studies of the existing roadway. From the summit to Garden City, mapping at a scale of 1" = ~OO' with 10-foot contours will be used. The aerial photography obtained by UDOT in 1985 will be used as the basis for the mapping. If viable routings are identified, that UDOT determines to need more detailed mapping and studies, the scope, costs, and fee .of this work will be negotiated as additional work under this . agreement. Cost comparisons for each al ternati.vE' , in,cludin '} the "No-Action" alternativ~, will be developed for construction costs, user costs, and benefit/cost ratios adjusted to the present consumer price index. The recommended methodology found in A MANUAL OF USER BENEFIT ANALYSIS OF HIGHWAY AND BUS-TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS - AASHTO, 1977, will be used. This comparative analysis will consider the following: o Benefits from reduced travel time, o Benefits from reduced vehicle operation and road maintenance costs, o Benefits from reduced number of accidents, Benefits from scenic viewers (i.e., economic bene· fit from people driving to Logan Canyon to view fall colors, fish, hunt, etc., whose satisfaction comes from less development or a less-than-standard highway) . All alternatives will be developed to a level of detail, comparable to each other. The end product of Task 2 will be a transportation plan containing preliminary maps and profiles (1" = 200' on clear film) showing each alternative routing; a matrix of environmental trade-offs; comparisons of engineering details relative to each alternative routing; �and anticipated contrasts to the existing conditions. This plan will be included in a Technical Appendix, with a summary appearing in the environmental document under "Alternatives Including Proposed Action." TASK 3: GEOTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS A geologic and topographic strip map (based on USGS 1:24,000-scale maps) of sufficient detail to show major geologic features of the entire study corridor, with particular emphasis on the east end will be prepared. For each geological formation or mappable unit depicted, a brief description of engineering characteristics, as they relate to construction and maintenance problems, will be made. Preliminary and soil investigations performed by the consultant will include test borings, slope stability and settlement analyses, soil and rock sampling, laboratory analyses, and examination of groundwater conditions. A brief summary of geotechnical analysis will be included in the Technical Appendix, with a summary of the findings incorporated into Task 6, as appropriate. ~~~\ \ eN\ ' \ IS~ <g The field investigations for this task are is based on use -of an all-terrain vehicle drill rig for 100 hours. In the ev~nt that UDOT determines that the geotechnical investigations require more field work, the scope costs and fee for this work will be negotiated as additional work under this Agreement. ~ ~\~~O~~ -p~ N~ \~~ 3cC'J~' \..rJ( ~"\)0I' "-1-l~\ -\'" fa.~~.j..~' S~~~ ~~~~ I TASK 4: PUBLIC AND AGENCY INVOLVEMENT (s),dJ.r- f3"'rk~r ) This task effort will run concurrently with the other tasks. Government agencies, community organizations, and interested citizens are to be kept aware of project issues as they arise and their input is to be sought, acknowledged, and documented ~j by the consultant. This will be accomplished by small group ~~ ~hS fY\-" ,~~ discussions (up to 10 meetings), sco in meetin (in Logan), t ~ ~o moderate media coverage, and informational meetings (up to I~ 5 meetings for service clubs, etc.). One or more staff members of UDOT will accompany consultant personnel during introductory or initial contacts with all state and local agencies and community organizations. All press releases will be prepared and submitted to UDOT for distribution to ~~ the news media. The scoping session will follow the CEQ ~oS ~. guidelines given in the 1981 memorandum "Scoping Guidance." e."l-S \ ~ ClU' A ublic hearin on the draft environmental assessmept will rV~ be conducted in Logan. I ~V\ C~~ r f Requirements relative to cooperating agencies (CEQ 1501.6), the scoping process (CEQ 1501.7), and, if necessary, Notice of Intent (CEQ 1508.22) will be the responsibility of the consultant--except in instances where the federal agency must initiate requests and other correspondence. In these _ latter cases, the consultant will provide support services only. I �Meetings involving the general public will generally be held in the evening or on weekends. When agency participation is desired, meetings will generally be conducted during the workday. Each scoping endeavor will be tailored to the group involved. A video tape of approximately 20-minute duration will be prepared by the consultant at least 3 months prior to the formal public hearing (or advertisement for a hearing opportunity). Alternative proposals and environmental tradeoffs will be addressed in the tape. Twelve (12) copies will be submitted to UDOT. Until the work under this task is completed, the consultant team shall maintain a local office (in Logan). The office will be staffed and open for business during normal working hours, a minimum of 40 hours per week. Staff will be available (up to ten engineering man-days and ten additional support staff man-days) as a source of project information in the local community. A project fact sheet will be prepared for distribution from the local office, with up to three fact sheet updates during the course of the project. Documentation of public involvement efforts will be included -in the environmental document under various headings as appropriate (see FHWA REGION 8 ENVIRONMENTAL NOTEBOOK, Section 2). TASK 5 COORDINATION The first activity of this task will be to organize the interdisciplinary study team. Specific individual members will be identified and confirmed by discussions with each agency. The environmental community representative will be determined by the community. This will be done by first identifying the environmental groups with probable interest in the Logan Canyon project. Each will be contacted to inform them of the need for a representative and to arrange for a meeting of their leadership. At the leadership meeting, the groups will be asked to develop a procedure to select their representative. The consultant will monitor the process to see that a representative is appointed. The consultant will coordinate its efforts with the FHWA and the USFS and with the following State of Utah agencies: o o o o o Division of Wildlife Resources Geological and Mineral Survey Bureau of Air Quality Bureau .of .Water Quality Division of State History1 �Coordination efforts will include: 1) acquiring available information relevant to the project; 2) obtaining appropriate study permits; 3) conducting joint operations related directly to the project; and 4) providing the above-listed ?tgencies with duplicate copies of data and findings, (devel~ror ~ oped from the tasks described herein) pertinent to their ' \ riff> ~ct.. respective charges. The permits antici ated to be needed to c:;er~~ construct the project wli e ldentified. As of the date of this Agreement, it is not known if payments to agencies may be needed to assist in the project. Therefore, no effort or costs have been included in this scope to meet that potential need. If UDOT determines that payments are necessary, the scope and fee for this work will be negotiated as additional work under this Agreement. Information obtained through coordination efforts will be incorporated into Task 6, as appropriate. TASK 6: ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT The task will involve two areas of activity. One is the meetings of the interdisciplinary study team and the other is the analysis of environmental resources. The interdisciplinary study team (see Task 5) will enerally meet twice each month (for a total of up to 20 meetings r.....--- . The interdisciplinary earn Wl provl e input for tne environmental analysis and make recommendations to the consultant and UDOT regarding engineering and environmental issues. The analysis of environmental re-sources will be a multistep process. It will begin with a review of the existing literature for the resources associated with the Logan Canyon project. ' This search will include literature from city, county, and state planning agencies, resource management agencies, universities, and scientific literature. In addition to the literature search, a field study will be conducted. This will be in with a one- to 2-da reconnaissa c visit of the ro ect area. 0 owing thlS, slte-speclfic field studies will be conducted, rinci all in the n oute corridors in Rich County.

Title A name given to the resource Equipment Failure at the Thistle Construction Site on November 16, 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.
