| Relation | Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; comment letter no 20 eliminate the arbitrary pond adjacent to the 1000 foot mark on the proposed channel do not fill in the old channel at the 2300 and 4800 foot marks to leave backwater ponds utilize hardening on all outside bends if the final alignment is to be maintained due to private property constraints otherwise allow river to meander freely within the 100 year floodplain flood plain boundary if property can be purchased or adequate easements acquired reach 6 characterized by the constraints of three diversions one major bridge a sewer line and private property concerns however a considerable public ownership on the upper portion allows for somewiggle some wiggle in the design and ultimate management move the reach designation between reach 6 and 7 upstream from the upper river road bridge to the end of the setback dike at the present 1000 foot mark in reach 7 to reflect the functional differences between reach 6 and its constraints and reach 7 which should be managed as a functional river between the setback dikes the I 1 100 loo 150 00 yean year floodplain flood plain boundaries change almost the entire channel alignment in this reach to more efficiently utilize the old channel and private and public land ownership to realize a 32 savings in earthmoving with only an 11 0 o reduction in channel length reconstruct the probst diversion upstream 200 feet to fit the new proposed channel alignment 20.47 2047 eliminate the arbitrary open water pond adjacent to the present 500 foot mark cont fail to backfilll backni bachni 11 the old channel on its new proposed alignment to provide a backwater pond with its emergent vegetation zone adjacent to the 500 foot mark eliminate the side channel adjacent to the 1500 foot mark as it does not have a diversion or any guarantees of longevity construct a new larger bridge on the wilson wlson hlson hison property to replace the older smaller one adjacent to the 4500 foot mark on the new proposed alignment renovate the diversion structure at the wilson wilsonfarm farm house to provide a continuous flow which connects to the upstream end of berkenshaw creek to provide for a long and significant side stream channel to enhance spawning and recruitment of naturally spawned fish in tha the system berkenshaw has the potential of being the most significant contributor of salmonids salmon ids to the mid provo river through natural means why has this option not been seriously considered hence forth and where is the data showing its lack of feasibility eliminate much of the long and somewhat arbitrary side stream channel to the east of reaches 5 and 6 instead utilize the much longer and already established westside ditch 4 through appropriate easements to provide a continuous flow which connects back to the main channel through the already existing wetland just above the midway iviidway bridge at or near the reach 3 4 designation westside ditch is already connected to the wasatch canal via rock ditch requiring no additional diversions below the new proposed relocated wasatch canal diversion the westside ditch already has the largest most stable trout population in the upper fields below its point of diversion in the floodplain flood plain why has this option not been seriously considered henceforth and where is the data showing its lack of feasibility 10 page 12 of 14 4150 4 150 |
