FrontLines 2015 Project Section 1 FrontRunner - Provo to Salt Lake City Line Section 2 Mid-Jordan & Draper LRT Lines Section 3 West Valley & Airport LRT Lines Section 4 Monthly Progress Report September 2008 SECTION 1 FRONTLINES 2015 PROJECT Chief Capital Development Officer’s Comments—Michael Allegra Significant progress continues to be made in the coordination, agreements, and actual construction of the FrontLines 2015 project. Three lines are under construction, one line just completed the environmental process, and the final line is nearing completion of its environmental process. To date over, $265 million has been expended on the project, and a total of over $950 million has been obligated. Our existing system also continues to expand, with the successful initiation of operations between Ogden and Pleasant View on the FrontRunner system. In addition to design and construction on the five lines, we are also moving forward on the construction of our new Jordan River Service Center (JRSC) which will serve as a maintenance facility for light rail vehicles. The design team has been selected, with construction anticipated to begin in 2009. Our partnering efforts continued with a successful session between the stakeholders, designers, constructors, and UTA staff involved in the West Valley and Airport lines. The importance of and support for the lines was demonstrated by the participation in the session of Salt Lake Mayor Ralph Becker, West Valley Mayor Dennis J. Nordfelt, and Salt Lake County Deputy Mayor Karen Okabe. The Frontlines 2015 project is comprised of FrontRunner South (commuter rail from Provo to Salt Lake), and the Mid-Jordan, West Valley, Draper, and Airport light rail lines. The project represents a major commitment to a regional mass-transit system to add “70 miles of rail in 7 years.” 1.1 Facts and Milestones Acronyms CRC - Commuter Rail Constructors • The Decision Document for the Airport KHP - Kiewit-Herzog-Parsons Environmental Study Report (ESR) was signed.

Fortunately, we have a great team of technical experts who have provided this support. Rick Hanzlik, Richard McLean, and Dale Burr are on site full time to provide computer, software, and printer support. Rick provides the overall supervision, direction, and phone and software support. Under his direction, the team has successfully procured, set up and maintained the computers, monitors, software, and printers for over 250 staff. Adding to the difficulty of successful support is that the staff, and therefore equipment, are currently Integrated Technology Group at FLHQ located in 3 separate facilities — FrontLines Rick Hanzlik, Richard McLean and Dale Burr Headquarters, Jordan River Service Center, and the Mid-Jordan Complex. Richard uses his extensive knowledge of Microsoft products to provide technical support for hardware and software, and also serves as our resident photograph organizer using the ThumbsPlus system. His graphics work is also visible in the nameplates for all the conference rooms at FrontLines Headquarters. Dale provides the initial assembly and configuration of all new systems. The team’s quick response to customer needs and coordination with UTA’s IT/IS office has ensured the smooth operation of software, e-mail, and backup systems vital to the project. FrontLines 2015 Monthly Report 2 September 2008 1.4 Project Procurements 1.4.1 Rail As of the end of September 2008, UTA has received over 5,200 tons of rail, including head-hardened rail. 1.4.2 Ties The concrete ties for the locally-funded lines (FrontRunner South, West Valley, and Airport) were procured at the same time as the rail. A total of 147,738 ties will be delivered for these lines with all ties scheduled to be on site by December 2008. Regular deliveries of ties, are received at the Beck Yard from the supplier. Ties for the FrontLines 2015 project 1.4.3 Traction-Power Substations (TPSS) Siemens was the successful contractor selected to provide the 25 traction-power substations required for the light rail lines. The Mid-Jordan line will use nine substations, the Draper line will use three, the West Valley line will use six, and the Airport line will use seven. 1.4.4 Ticket-Vending Machines (TVM) The 70 ticket-vending machines for the project (52 for LRT lines and 18 for CRT lines) will be procured through the UTA process, with the solicitation to be advertised in September. 1.4.5 Vehicles Siemens is constructing the 77 new low- floor, light rail vehicles. Progress payments are being made as they meet contract milestones. The delivery schedule will have the first vehicles arriving in July 2010, with the final vehicle being delivered in 2012. Illustration of the New Siemens S-70 Low Floor Vehicles A total of 10 locomotives and 18 bi-level passenger cars are being procured for the FrontRunner South line. The 10 locomotives were procured by exercising an option in October of 2007 with the manufacturer Motive Power, who provided the locomotives for the Weber County to Salt Lake (FrontRunner North) line. Bombardier was selected to provide the 18 passenger cars (10 coach and 8 cab cars) for the line. In addition to these new vehicles, 10 Comet cars from New Jersey are being re-furbished to support the project.

The department will be completing informational activities that are related to the upgrade of existing rail crossings on the Mid-Jordan and FrontRunner Provo to Salt Lake City lines. These activities include sending out letters, maps, and crossing information to the thousands of residents located near impacted crossings. Activities also include crossing upgrade information on UTA’s Web site. Additionally, agency marketing staff is involved in public involvement efforts for the Draper line. UTA will be hosting a public information meeting for city residents on Wednesday, October 15, at the Skaggs Catholic Center. The purpose of the meeting will be to offer an update on the current status of the line. Information regarding the meeting has been included on UTA’s Web site and will be advertised to the media a few days in advance of the event. The public relations and marketing staff have also been busy with public information activities on the West Valley line as well as for the West Valley Intermodal Center. As construction proceeds, staff members have been visiting residents on a one-on-one basis and providing advance information regarding construction activities and impacts. 1.6 Legal The Office of General Counsel has been assisting the local communities of Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs with annexation into the public transit district. 1.7 Safety None of the contractors have experienced a lost time incident or recordable injury, although there were a couple of incidents involving hands that were strained or had been struck by an object (such as a crank), but only required first aid. FrontLines 2015 Monthly Report 4 September 2008 The OCIP insurance broker, Willis’s Safety Oversight representative, visited the projects this month, and was quite impressed that we were actually constructing stations and trackway in areas without housing or businesses (Daybreak), typical of a “build it and they will come” attitude.

    Meet the Jordan River: an Ecological Walk Along the Riparian Zone

    Meet the Jordan River: An Ecological Walk Along the Riparian Zone A riparian zone, like the one you're walking along today, is the interface between land and a river or stream. Plant habitats and communities along the river margins and banks are called riparian vegetation, and are characterized by hydrophilic (“water loving”) plants. Riparian zones are significant in ecology, environmental management, and civil engineering because of their role in soil conservation, habitat biodiversity, and the influence they have on fauna and aquatic ecosystems, including grassland, woodland, and wetlands. 1. “Education Tree” 2.

Barber , Chair/Dean of the Department/College/School of Civil and Environmental Engineering and by David B. Kieda, Dean of The Graduate School. ABSTRACT In an era of growing urbanization, anthropological changes like hydraulic modification and industrial pollutant discharge have caused a variety of ailments to urban rivers, which include organic matter and nutrient enrichment, loss of biodiversity, and chronically low dissolved oxygen concentrations. Utah’s Jordan River is no exception, with nitrogen contamination, persistently low oxygen concentration and high organic matter being among the major current issues. The purpose of this research was to look into the nitrogen and oxygen dynamics at selected sites along the Jordan River and wetlands associated with Great Salt Lake (GSL). To demonstrate these dynamics, sediment oxygen demand (SOD) and nutrient flux experiments were conducted twice through the summer, 2015. The SOD ranged from 2.4 to 2.9 g-DO m-2 day-1 in Jordan River sediments, whereas at wetland sites, the SOD was as high as 11.8 g-DO m-2 day-1.

    Version 1.5 Native Unionoida Surveys, Distribution, and Metapopulation Dynamics in the Jordan River-Utah Lake Drainage, UT Report To: Wasatch Front Water Quality Council Salt Lake City, UT By: David C. Richards, Ph.D. OreoHelix Consulting Vineyard, UT 84058 email: [email protected] phone: 406.580.7816 May 26, 2017 Native Unionoida Surveys and Metapopulation Dynamics Jordan River-Utah Lake Drainage 1 One of the few remaining live adult Anodonta found lying on the surface of what was mostly comprised of thousands of invasive Asian clams, Corbicula, in Currant Creek, a former tributary to Utah Lake, August 2016. Summary North America supports the richest diversity of freshwater mollusks on the planet. Although the western USA is relatively mollusk depauperate, the one exception is the historically rich molluskan fauna of the Bonneville Basin area, including waters that enter terminal Great Salt Lake and in particular those waters in the Jordan River-Utah Lake drainage. These mollusk taxa serve vital ecosystem functions and are truly a Utah natural heritage. Unfortunately, freshwater mollusks are also the most imperiled animal groups in the world, including those found in UT. The distribution, status, and ecologies of Utah’s freshwater mussels are poorly known, despite this unique and irreplaceable natural heritage and their protection under the Clean Water Act. Very few mussel specific surveys have been conducted in UT which requires specialized training, survey methods, and identification. We conducted the most extensive and intensive survey of native mussels in the Jordan River-Utah Lake drainage to date from 2014 to 2016 using a combination of reconnaissance and qualitative mussel survey methods.

  • Utah Lake Comprehensive Management Plan Introduction Document on Sovereign Land Management

    Utah Lake Comprehensive Management Plan Introduction Document on Sovereign Land Management

    Utah Lake Comprehensive Management Plan Introduction Document on Sovereign Land Management Introduction The bed of Utah Lake became state (sovereign) land on the date of Utah’s statehood, January 4,1896. The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands manages the sovereign land in accordance with the Public Trust Doctrine, state law and administrative rule. The purpose of this document is to summarize the management framework for the bed of Utah Lake. The Origin of Sovereign Lands Under English common law, the Crown held title to all lands underlying navigable waterways, subject to the Public Trust Doctrine. Following the American Revolution, title to such lands in the U.S. vested in the 13 original colonies. Under the Equal Footing Doctrine, fee title to those lands also vested in each state subsequently admitted to the Union, upon admission. Utah’s public trust lands, known as “sovereign lands,” lie below the ordinary high water mark of navigable bodies of water. Utah’s sovereign land includes Utah Lake, Great Salt Lake, Bear Lake (Utah’s half), Jordan River and portions of the Green, Colorado and Bear rivers. Constitution, Statute and Rule The framework for sovereign land management is found in the Utah Constitution (Article XX), state statute (primarily Chapter 65A-10), and administrative rule (R652). Article XX of the Utah Constitution accepts sovereign lands to be held in trust for the people and managed for the purposes for which the lands were acquired. Section 65A-2-1 of the Utah Code provides: “The division [of Forestry, Fire and State Lands, FFSL] shall administer state lands under comprehensive land management programs using multiple-use, sustained-yield principles.” Briefly stated, the overarching management objectives of FFSL are to protect and sustain the trust resources of, and to provide for reasonable beneficial uses of those resources, consistent with their long-term protection and conservation.
