/o//3/w V£B&fiN RECORD OF DECISION US Highway 89 Right Fork in Logan Canyon to Garden City Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) Cache and Rich Counties, Utah A. DECISION The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) concurs with the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) in its selection of the Preferred Alternative as modified in this Record of Decision (ROD) for improvements to US Highway 89 (US-89) between Right Fork, milepost (mp) 383.47, and State Road 30, mp 411.75, in Garden City. The modified Preferred Alternative is described in Section B below. The modified Preferred Alternative is as presented in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) with the following modifications made as a result of input received on the FEIS and subsequent meetings and field reviews in order to further minimize harm to wetland/riparian habitat, visual resources and Section 4(f) resources: * The Lower Middle Canyon section has been extended 500 feet to mp 387.57 to better fit the surrounding terrain. The roadway begins to move further away from the river at this location. * Consolidation of parking for Section 4(f) Site 6, Ricks Spring, has been eliminated. This eliminates the left turn lane and retaining wall adjacent to the river. A shorter retaining wall set back from the river may still be required just south of the site. * Section 4(f) Site 13, Winter Access Parking, will be reestablished at a lower elevation so that access can be maintained. * Relocation of the Limber Pine Trailhead has been eliminated. * The detour at Burnt Bridge has been eliminated and widening will occur on the upstream side. This reduces the impact on riparian habitat. * For the first eight miles of the Upper Canyon (from mp 391.6 to Beaver Mountain road intersection), the previously proposed roadway width of 40 feet has been reduced to 34 feet. This reduces the impact on wetland and riparian areas. For areas with passing lanes through this eight miles, the previously proposed roadway width of 47 feet has been reduced to 44 feet. * The left turn lane at Temple Fork has been eliminated. Minimum roadway improvements at this site include a 34' section on US-89 and an improved vertical grade approach of Temple Fork road. Other improvements, such as an uphill right turn lane and an improved horizontal angle of approach of Temple Fork Road, are secondary improvements which will only be constructed if they do not impact the river or require a substantial retaining wall. 9 Through Logan Canyon, ROD (Draft of October 13, 1994) Page 1 Section A: Decision
