Relation Central Utah Project; Western Waters Digital Library; to private areas in the river corridor would be acquired to protect the resources developed under the PRRP and make them available to the public under managed conditions the property required for project implementation and management would be permanently acquired or encumbered in one of several possible ways fee title purchase from willing sellers fee titie title ditle tide tlde ti ae or easement purchase from willing sellers allowing for construction habitat restoration and protection flooding andor public access PRRP proposed action expanded restoration area only land exchanges eminent domaincondemnation domain condemnation only as a last resort of fee title core area only donations the mitigation commission would work in cooperation with US bureau of reclamation and others to complete acquisitions specific options would be investigated on a parcel by parcel basis with each individual property owner table 13 1 3 lists PRRP property acquisition requirements under the proposed action and alternatives ownership changes would be associated with purchase of fee title by the united states government but not with purchase of construction easements primate private property owners would be compensated at the fair market value no land owned by local cities wasatch county or the state of utah would be acquired for the proposed action because none is required most of reaches 8 and 9 are in federal ownership therefore up to only 16.5 165 165 acres of property acquisition would occur in the upper 2.5 25 25 miles mfles males of the PRRP project area 1532 153.2 1532 1533 L 532 53.2 532 land use construction vehicles and equipment would use temporary access roads to move from existing public roads to construction areas throughout the project area the majority of these roads would be situated along the existing and proposed channel alignments or along the existing dikes and would become part of the area acquired for the core area land uses of all types would be temporarily restricted on access roads during construction less than one acre of existing lands outside the core area would be needed for construction access roads existing and planned land uses could resume after 1 construction on access roads not in the acquired core area the project area would be fenced to exclude livestock from natural resource areas and to protect surrounding private property from the public the type and style of minimum standard fencing would be as described under baseline conditions see section 14.1 141 141 provisions would be made for allowing off stream livestock watering or access zones through the fenced areas for watering where this would be required by the adjacent landowner to continue grazing activities map al A l 1 in the back of the EIS shows projected locations of 100 year flood areas the 100 year floodplain flood plain would be inundated on average once every 100 years with one percent chance of inundation in any year typical 100 year floodplain flood plain depths would be 0.5 05 05 to 1.5 15 15 feet typical floodplain flood plain velocities would be about 1.0 10 10 io feet per second duration of inundation would be determined by releases from jordanelle Jor danelle dam darn dain the duration of peak discharge releases from the dam would be from one to seven days inundation in the floodplain flood plain could be expected to last for about one week beyond the peak release period for the 100 year flood and for shorter periods during smaller floods future urban development in the 100 year floodplain flood plain outside federally acquired areas would be regulated by wasatch county floodplain flood plain management ordinances inhabitable structures would be required to be elevated eg on fill material above the 100 year flood water surface level in accordance with county and other ordinances 15.4 154 154 construction procedures 1541 154.1 1541 L 541 54.1 typical construction procedures the proposed action would be constructed in phases generally from upstream to downstream A cofferdam a temporary small dam typically constructed of native material andor plastic tubing or sheeting would be constructed in the existing channel at each new meander to isolate the river flow from the new channel construction area new river channel segments would be constructed one at a time the new ne wriver niver river channel segments would initially receive small amounts of water to wash sediments into larger flows of the provo river this procedure would be repeated at each constructed river segment 44
