Emergency Watershed Protection: Logan Northern Canal Reconstruction
Project - Updated 04/18/12
The Logan Northern Canal Reconstruction project area is located in the
northeastern part of Cache County in northern Utah. Cache County covers an area
of about 1,165 square miles. The study area includes unincorporated areas of
Cache County and parts of the cities of Logan, North Logan, and Hyde Park.
This Record of Decision (ROD) documents the decision by the Utah office of
the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Natural Resources Conservation Service
(NRCS-Utah) to disburse Emergency Watershed Protection Program (EWPP) funds for
the Logan Northern Canal Reconstruction project. Because the EWPP is a Federal
program, activity associated with the EWPP is subject to the provisions of the
National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Federal funding, along with
matching funds from project stakeholders, will be used to implement the proposed
project.
NRCS prepared a Final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the project. The
Final EIS describes the project and the impacts of the project and proposes
mitigation for identified impacts. The EIS finds that the project will not cause
any significant effects on the natural or built environment.
NRCS has prepared the EIS for proposed repair, replacement, and/or
modifications to the Logan Northern Canal system. During the spring of 2009, a
slope failure occurred along a hillside in south Logan, resulting in damage to
the LNC and disabling the water distribution capabilities of the canal. The
canal is located in an unincorporated area of Cache County and the communities
of Logan, North Logan, and Hyde Park, Utah. NRCS is assisting the
sponsoring local organization, Cache County, through the Emergency Watershed
Protection (EWP) Program.
