  • LCC DEIS Chapter 2 – Alternatives
    Chapter 2: Alternatives 2.1 Introduction This chapter describes the alternatives that were considered for meeting the purpose of and need for the State Route (S.R.) 210 Project as described in Section 1.2.1, Purpose of the Project, in Chapter 1, Purpose and Need. This chapter describes the alternatives that were developed during the scoping process and as part of public engagement opportunities, reviews the alternatives that were eliminated from further study through the alternatives screening process, describes the No-Action Alternative and the action alternatives that were carried forward for further study in this Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), and summarizes the advantages and disadvantages of the No-Action and action alternatives. 2.2 Alternatives Development and Screening Process Figure 2.2-1 presents an overview of the Figure 2.2-1. Overview of the S.R. 210 Alternatives alternatives development and screening Development and Screening Process process. This section provides a summary overview of the alternatives development and screening process as documented in the Draft Alternatives Development and Screening Report and the Draft Alternatives Development and Screening Report Addendum (UDOT 2020a, 2020b) (see Appendix 2A, Draft Alternatives Development and Screening Report June 8, 2020). The alternatives development and screening process consisted of these phases: 1. Develop proposed alternatives that respond to the purpose and need statement based on previous studies, public and agency input during the scoping process, and local and regional land use and transportation plans. 2. Conduct a preliminary evaluation of general concepts and/or alternatives received during the EIS scoping process to determine which concepts and/or alternatives could generally meet the project purpose, are within the scope of the EIS and EIS study area, and are technically feasible.

    From: Lee Greenwald To: FS-objections-pnw-mthood Subject: Twilight Parking lot Date: Monday, March 03, 2014 11:44:20 PM Attachments: 2013 International Report on Snow Mountain Tourism.pdf Cross-country skiing experiencing a Nordic renaissance Olympian.pdf Twilight Parking Lot OBJECTION 3-1-14 EAE v2.doc Dear objections official, I previously raised several objections concerning Mt Hood Meadows application to build the Twilight Parking lot. Though some, not all, of these objections were ostensibly addressed in their responses, they were not addressed fully nor adequately. I raised concerns regarding Meadows assumptions on growth in demand for Alpine skiing. The last ten years MHM stated continued growth trends, but actually the most recent previous two years that has not been the trend. The true growth is in Nordic skiing. The majority of the Nordic community is against the creation of the Twilight lot without a comprehensive analysis of potential future use of this terrain, and nearby Nordic trails and connecting trails. This type of analysis has not been done, and would be precluded by proceeding with the construction of the Twilight lot before all future use options have been considered. Second, I asked that MHM be required by the FS to place the funds, $500,000, for a Nordic center in a designated account for a future Nordic center building, and a restrictive timeline for construction. If the parking lot is to be built, the Nordic community should have some prior input on the Nordic facility to be built prior to the lots final approval. The response that was posted simply stated that "a" facility would be built within three years.

  • Funitel – Unaffected by Wind
    FEWER LIFTS … BETTER PERFORMANCE THE EVOLUTION OF TWO SYSTEMS : FUNITEL – UNAFFECTED BY WIND DETACHABLE DLS - VERY HIGH CAPACITY Pierre Josserand, Ingénieur Arts et Métiers, Chairman CEO, SETAM Pierre JOSSERAND SETAM 73440 VAL THORENS France Tel :+33 (0)4.79.0007.08 Fax : +33 (0)4.79.00.07.14 e-mail : [email protected] 1 INTRODUCTION Val Thorens ski resort, Savoie, France was created in 1971 in a high altitude virgin site. Its skiing terrain lies between 1,800 and 3,200 meters. From 1971 until 1988, the resort’s uphill transportation was composed of conventional devices such as surface lifts, fixed grip chair lifts, 4 and 6 place detachable gondolas, except in 1982, when the jig-back aerial ropeway of Caron, (150 places per car, the biggest in the world at that time) was brought into service. In 1998 the company established a new master plan for both technical and economic goals for the year 2000. The purpose of the master plan was to support the bed capacity until the year 2000. In 1999, it appears that these goals have been achieved and their effects which turned out positive, be it in terms of technical innovation or of economic profitability, seemed to justify a communication as part of the OITAF congress in San Francisco. We do not intend to claim that our experience must be a model or that our conclusions can be applied to all resorts. But we do think that for some resorts comparable to Val Thorens, it might somehow be helpful. 2 GOALS SET IN 1988 FOR THE RESTRUCTURING OF THE SKI AREA Goal #1: Reduce the amount of lifts in the existing ski area, in order to reduce the impact on the environment: protection of the grazing grounds and the forest as well as restoring the visual aspect of the mountain.
