The objective of the aquifer test was to determine interactions, if any, between the aquifer and spring and creek flows in Weber and Cache Counties by pumping the Hidden Lake Well. Loughlin Water Associates, LLC (Loughlin Water) prepared this report on behalf of Summit Mountain Holding Group (Summit Group). Figure 1 shows the location of Powder Mountain. Figure 2 shows the locations of monitored points near Powder Mountain (additional points monitored by protestant’s are located several miles to the south and are not shown on Figure 2). Table 1 summarizes points monitored for the Powder Mountain aquifer test. Protestants monitored additional locations, which we plot and briefly discuss. We performed the aquifer test during the seasonal base flow period when impacts, if any, would be most readily observable. Weather conditions were suitable and interpretable data were collected. The pumping rate of 150 gallons per minute (gpm) used for the 14-day Powder Mountain aquifer test is far greater (by at least 25 percent) than the continuous demand that will ever be placed on the Hidden Lake Well. The Utah Division of Drinking Water (DDW, 2014) allowed the well to be equipped with a pump capable of producing up to about 180 gpm. Although the equipped rate of 180 gpm will allow operational flexibility, the DDW (2014) limited the safe yield of the well to 120.7 gpm rate. Therefore the maximum peak day indoor demand of the Equivalent Residential Connections (ERCs) and outdoor irrigation that can be supplied by the well is 120.7 gpm. Average day indoor demand will be closer to 60 gpm. Conducting the 14-day aquifer test at a constant rate of 150 gpm allowed for careful quantitative analysis of the data and more accurate characterization of the aquifer. Previously, we used various analytical methods to estimate a transmissivity of about 500 square feet per day (ft2/day) from the 180-gpm, 24-hour pumping test of the Hidden Lake Well conducted in November 2013; see Loughlin Water (2013b and 2014a). By keeping the pumping rate constant, we were able to observe the delayed- yield response of the aquifer and revise our estimate of the transmissivity downward to about 120 ft2/day. The Utah Geological Survey (UGS, 2015a) also observed the delayed yield response and estimated a similarly low transmissivity of about 230 ft2/day. We present a series of graphs of water levels and flow rates of the various monitored locations along with graphs of well pumping, precipitation and temperatures. We overlaid and compared the graphs to look for impacts while accounting for effects of weather. Our evaluation of the Powder Mountain aquifer test monitoring data indicate no discernible impact due to pumping the Hidden Lake Well at Lefty Spring, Lefty Stream, Pizzel Spring #3, Wellsville Middle Fork, Wellsville Creek near the north boundary of Loughlin Water Associates LLC Page 5 of 24 March 27, 2014 Powder Mountain Aquifer Test and Monitoring Report – E8352 (35-12848) Powder Mountain, Geertsen Creek, or other locations monitored for this study. This is not surprising because many of the monitored locations are far from the pumping well and are isolated from impacts of pumping by the presence of low permeability formations. Lefty Spring and groundwater seeps and springs on the north side of Powder Mountain discharge from the same formation as the Hidden Lake Well. However, effects of pumping the well tend to be localized

  • Summit Eden Powder Mountain Community Development Project
    Weber County Redevelopment Agency October 15, 2013 SUMMIT-EDEN @ POWDER MOUNTAIN COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT AREA WEBER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP 2380 Washington Blvd . Suite 360 . Ogden, Utah 84401 . 801.399.8414 Summit-Eden @ Powder Mountain EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Earlier this year, the Summit Mountain Holding Group, LLC (SMHG) acquired “Powder Mountain”, and has proposed an exciting expansion vision for the resort which entails, among other things, building a world-class center for conferencing and thought-leadership that will bring the most prominent global thinkers in technology, education, innovation, and socially- focused ventures to this area. Their planning includes engagement and benefit for local farms, businesses, and individuals, as well as working with existing enterprise to create agri-tourism opportunities, farm-to-table supply chains and other projects which help protect the exceptional quality of life in our communities. Their community-first approach to development is a primary reason why Weber County is supportive of the project. We are confident the annual Summit Series conference, which now calls Powder Mountain home, will foster the creation of multiple start-ups, investment in local philanthropic initiatives and cultivate millions in new capital activity in Weber County. We anticipate Summit-Eden will produce sustainable jobs in hospitality, recreation, and other sectors due to second and third order effects of Summit undertakings. Summit Outside, the first annual series event held at Powder Mountain in July of this year was notably successful. The 4-day event was home to some 800 people from around the world, created 1,000 event related jobs, generated in excess of $90,000 for local non-profits and had an estimated economic impact on the local economy of $2M.

  • Utah History Encyclopedia
    SKIING IN UTAH Skiing at Alta, 1947 During the 1990-91 season Utah ski areas were host to more than 2.75 million skiers. These skiers enjoyed Utah′s magnificent powder snow, the convenience of dozens of lifts, and the freedom of thousands of acres of skiable terrain, all set within the breathtaking beauty of Utah′s mountains. But it wasn′t always so. The story of how Utah skiing became what it is today is a story of trial, perseverance, and individuals with a passion for the mountains, a sport, and a way of life. Long before Utah′s skiing became an industry there were individuals who used skis as a means of travel in Utah′s mountains. Those who first used skis include trappers, miners, and other inhabitants of the mountains, for whom mobility in the mountains meant survival. During these times, skis were sometimes referred to as Norwegian snowshoes, because Norwegian immigrants first brought skis to this country. Accurate accounts of these first skiers are scarce, but some date back to well before the turn of the twentieth century. Harold Seeholzer, who made his first skis about 1915 and later pioneered the Beaver Mountain ski area near Logan, recalled some of his early ski adventures in the nearby mountains. On one occasion he and some friends were called upon to check on a trapper who was spending the winter in the Tony Grove area. "We packed our rucksacks with food, . put a can of wax in our pockets and left on March 17 at 4:00 a.m.
