Camp Williams UT – RAWS Fire Weather Station

Project: RAWS-Fire Weather Forecasting Client: Camp Williams Army National Guard Location: Draper, Utah Year: 1998 RAWS Fire Weather Forecasting: Camp Williams is a National Guard Training Site operated by the Utah Army National Guard. It is located 26 miles south of Salt Lake City. It consists of 28,000 acres of training areas and has a billeting capacity of 2,800 troops. The main training site for the UTNG includes artillery, engineers, academies & other units. Adjacent to large metropolitan areas -- Salt Lake City & Provo -- the area consists of semi-desert and sage steppe. The area is used for training in combat and other similar uses. IEI was contracted to install a remote weather station for the purpose of fire danger forecasting. If the fire danger rating is too high the base shuts down operations in the range to avoid starting any fires. This makes the accuracy and availability of this weather data very valuable to the operations of the base. The Station has the following equipment: 20 ft Tower Deep Cycle Battery 20 Watt Solar Panel 05103 Wind Monitor Fire weather station CR10 Data logger (Campbell Scientific) RM Young 05103 Wind Monitor Vaisala HMP45C Temperature & RH Sensor Texas Electronics 8" Precipitation Gauge RF400 Spread Spectrum Radio HMP45C Temp & RH TE525WS Rain Gauge RF400 Radio The station is on a PakBus network, which allows the use of a repeater that is located on a small rise between the camp head quarters and the weather station. There are two base stations located within Camp Williams. One is in the Utah State University Environmental group’s office and the other is located in the Range Control office of the base. Each base station is a PC running Logger Net 3.0 and is programmed to automatically request data through the repeater every hour. Remsoft then imports the data into Weather Pro. Weather pro then calculates the Burn Component and Ignition Component, which are used for the danger code decision-making.

Camp Williams – Master Plan
Request for Proposals Camp Williams – Master Plan Utah Army National Guard, Construction, Facilities, and Maintenance Office (CFMO) 12953 South Minuteman Drive, Draper, UT 84020 December 18, 2020 Contact: 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Numbers Title Sheet 1 Table of Contents 2 Notice to Consultants 3 Study Description 4 Procurement Process 5-11 1 NOTICE TO CONSULTANTS The Utah Army National Guard, Construction, Facilities, and Maintenance Office (CFMO) is soliciting the services of qualified teams/individuals to perform consulting services for the following study: Camp Williams – Master Plan The Utah Army National Guard CFMO is serving as the sponsor for the Camp Williams – Master Plan which is a long-range planning document for Camp Williams, Utah. It will also include participation from the leadership, Department of Public Works (DPW) and other tenants of Camp Williams, along with the office of Environmental Resource Management (ERM). A Camp Williams master plan was completed in 2013 which did a good job of identifying many compatibility and growth issues. Since that time, tremendous growth has occurred in the area surrounding Camp Williams and growth on the base has deviated from previous plans. A new Master Plan will be able to evaluate the effectiveness of the previous plan and present ideas to improve the planning process going into the future. Since Camp Williams is an important training facility, it is imperative that good planning does what it can to influence communities to focus on the best methods to protect military training and installation resilience while sustaining compatible economic development. Provide the Best Value for the Budget The budget for this study is $230,000.

WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL)
WRP Utah Military Asset List (MAL) Within the Western Regional Partnership (WRP) region, there are significant military testing and training installations and ranges. WRP developed summaries from all of the Services and the National Guard, describing the history, missions, and importance of these assets. These summaries use only publicly available information and are written for the policy maker new to military issues and the military savvy person needing specific military information. It is our hope that WRP Partners use these summaries as a tool for land use planning efforts to encourage compatible growth and ensure future mission viability. Incompatible development (encroachment) comes in many forms but for the military, it means those issues that affect their ability to fulfill their mission on land, in the sea, or in the air. These military summaries are for general planning purposes. Attached Utah MAL summaries: Air Force: • Hill Air Force Base • Utah Test and Training Range Army: • Dugway Proving Ground • Tooele Army Depot National Guard: • Utah Air National Guard • Utah Army National Guard Military Asset List 2016 U.S. Air Force: HILL AFB : UTAH Hill Air Force Base is an Air Force Materiel Command base located in northern Utah.

Envision Utah Envision Utah Utilities This appendix includes the consultant reports for the Point of the Mountain study area on storm water, gas, power, water, telecommunications, and transportation. These reports were prepared by Sherwood Design Engineers, Horrocks Engineers, and Fehr & Peers Transportation Consultants and are meant to provide an overview of existing conditions in the Point of the Mountain region in regards to these key utilities. This order of the contents of this appendix are as follows: • Sherwood Design Engineers’ Storm Water Report • Horrocks Engineers’ Water, Sewer, Power, and Telecommunications Reports • Fehr & Peers Transportation Consultants’ Transportation Report 2 INTRODUCTION This narrative intends to assess issues with current storm water management practices in the Point of the Mountain area and highlight opportunities for the implementation of best management practices. BACKGROUND Project Area The Point of the Mountain region encompasses 150 square miles of communities just south of Salt Lake City, Utah. The valley region is bounded by the Wasatch Mountains to the east, the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, Salt Lake City and Great Salt Lake to the north and Utah Lake to the south. The region takes its name from the Point of the Mountain, a geographic pinch point between the Wasatch Mountain ridge known as Traverse Mountain and the Oquirrh Mountains. The Point of the Mountain is coincident with a section of the Jordan River known as the Jordan Narrows. The Point of the Mountain divides the project into two counties: Salt Lake County to the north and Utah County to the south. The Point of the Mountain is the only point of connection between The Salt Lake metro region to the north and the Provo/Orem metro region to the south.
