81169#81169 Abstract
The Dixie National Forest is seeking public input on the Hungry Creek Vegetation Improvement Project. The proposed project is located within Garfield County, Utah on the Escalante Ranger District of the Dixie National Forest (DNF). The project consists of approximately 103,351
acres, an analysis area which covers both the Pine Creek and North Creek 6 HUC watersheds.
Within this boundary, approximately 50,134 acres would receive a mechanical vegetation treatment such as thinning, timber stand improvement or mastication. Prescribed fire could be applied following vegetation treatments as well to other units in the project boundary for a total of 71,052 acres of burnable acres. The Hungry Creek Project would facilitate landscape-scale forest vegetation management to promote resiliency of the ecosystem while maintaining the aesthetics and character of the landscape.

81165#81165 Abstract
The project includes installing 17,230 ft of 8" waterline, 60 water meters, and 24 fire hydrants within an existing Iron County
right-of-way. This project will not expand the system, but will replace existing infrastructure.
The proposed project will allow the community to have a more reliable distribution system that meets the Division of Drinking water requirements. The previous system was constructed in the 1970's with 6" waterlines that fail to meet state code. The proposed project will include the
installation of 8" waterlines to provide better fire flow with an estimated 9.89 acres of
disturbance. However, the site was previously disturbed by road construction and utilities. The project will improve the existing water system without negatively impacting drainage, or adverse environmental impacts.
Because the area where the construction will take place will be within areas of previous disturbance, it is anticipated that this project will not pose a threat to historic or cultural landmarks, threatened or endangered species, wetlands, or soils designated as prime farmland.

81164#81164 Abstract
We are proposing a forest-wide prescribed fire restoration project to reduce the risk of uncharacteristic wildfires and improve the health, diversity, and resilience of native vegetation communities and wildlife habitats. The proposed action would help protect multiple values at risk (such as wildland urban interface, infrastructure, and sensitive resources), improve firefighter and public safety, and improve the health of forests and rangelands.
The proposed action would implement multiple prescribed burns across up to approximately one million acres of the Forest over several years. The Forest would identify specific areas for treatment based on prioritized
need, suitable conditions for prescribed burning, and available resources to safely implement burns. The annual prescribed burning program would apply fire on approximately 40,000 acres when conditions and resources allow. Some years would likely see much less fire than this, and some years may see a little more. Prescribed burning would be conducted within established guidelines, laws, regulations, and policies. This proposed action does not apply to research natural areas and some areas on the Fishlake where environmental analysis has previously been completed and prescribed fire has already been approved.

81151#81151 Abstract
The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is conducting an EIS to evaluate potential transportation solutions to improve mobility through the Heber Valley and the operation of U.S. 40.
UDOT has identified 13 alternative concepts that are under consideration in the EIS, which include options for U.S. 40, western routes, eastern routes and transit. Alternative concepts were developed using information from previous studies, public comments from the previous EIS comment periods and traffic analysis conducted by the EIS project team. These alternative concepts will be evaluated in a multi-level screening process to determine which alternatives will be carried forward for detailed environmental analysis.
Public and agency comments helped define the project purpose and the range of alternatives that should be evaluated in the EIS process, including the recommendation to look at options for the east side. More information about both comment periods, including all the comments submitted, is available in the Early Scoping Summary Report and the Scoping Summary Report on the project website.
