SUBJECT: Project No. F-02l-1(4) Logan Canyon Right Hand Fork to Ricks Spring
FROM: Division Administrator Salt Lake City, Utah 84147
TO: Mr. William D. Hurley, P.E. Director of Transportation Salt Lake City, Utah 84147
DATE: December 10, 1979
Reference is made to the category assignment for the proposed subject project.
In accordance with the Federal-aid Highway Program Manual 7-7-2 (f), a
review of the nonmajor classification has been made. Because of the
scope of the project, the number of Congressional and public inquiries
received and the apparent opposition to the proposed project based
on environmental considerations, it has been determined that this can
no longer be considered a nonmajor action. Consequently, the nonmajor,
category III assignment concurred in by the Federal Highway Administration
on April 5, 1979, is hereby withdrawn.
As you are well aware, all new environmental actions are controlled by
the Department of Transportation's (DOT) Order number 5610.1C issued
in final form September 18, 1979, and the Council on Environmental
Quality (CEQ) Regulations which became effective on November 30, 1979.
This project now falls under the control of these two regulations for
all applicable environment actions and will be processed as a major
action.
We will be available to discuss this if there are any further questions.
George W. Bohn, P.E.
