Environmental Impact Statement for Bonneville Unit, Central Utah Project |
| Description |
Documents primarily concerning environmental impacts of the Bonneville Unit of the Central Utah Project; from the The Dorothy Harvey papers (1902-2005), a collection of materials focusing on the Central Utah Project (CUP), a water resource development program to use Utah's alloted share of the Colorado River. Includes correspondence, Harvey's writing drafts and notes for an unpublished book on the CUP, federal documents, project litigation materials, subject files, news clippings, newsletters, programs, brochures, and maps. |

Show Estimates of the particulate levels that would have occurred had the proposed power plant been in operation from September 1975 to September 1976 are presented in Table 2. These levels would be representative of the conditions that would probably occur during normal operation. Estimates were calculated by the Environmental Protection Agency using the Valley atmospheric dispersion model. The existing level of particulates at the proposed plant site (without the power plant) and the projected level of particulates (with the power plant), are compared with State and Federal air quality standards in Table 3. Data on the visibility, as viewed from Zion National Park toward the proposed plant site, were collected by the National Park Service in conjunction with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Table 4 compares the viewing distance a-gainst the particulate levels recorded at the proposed plant site. The procedures used for data collection by the National Park Service are described in . Studies by White (1976) correlated viewing distance with particulate levels in an arid climate. (No visibility reductions due to water vapor in the air were considered.) This theoretical information was used to compare the viewing distance (a measure of visibility) that would occur without and with the proposed project (see Table 5). c. A survey by a team of BLM archaeologists indicates that construction would destroy 10 archaeological sites located within the boundary of the proposed plant. The types of archaeological findings are lithic scatters (chipping areas) (7 sites), transient campsites (2 sites), and rock shelter (1 site), (Jones, Smith, Brown, and Adams, July 1976). The survey methods are described in . d. Projected estimates using the UPED and UPLAND models indicate the influx of 4,000 additional people into the region would create a shortage of 735 to 980 permanent housing units. This shortage would occur at Milford (600-700 units), Minersville (40-80), Beaver (5-10), other areas of Beaver County (30-70), and at Cedar City (60-120). 20 |
