mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
Central Utah Water Conservancy District
(District) and U.S. Department of the
Interior (Department), jointly prepared
an Environmental Assessment (EA) to
determine the effects of reconstructing
the Fort Field Diversion on the Provo
River in Utah County, to provide
unimpaired fish passage during low
flow conditions and to meet diversion
requirements for canal companies and
legal water users.
The Proposed Action selected from
the EA for implementation entails the
Mitigation Commission, District and
Department cooperating to reconstruct
the Fort Field Diversion structure,
consisting of a cobble bar, a concrete
sluiceway, with gates, tree removal and
replacement or lining of a section of
pipeline.
The Fort Field Diversion often
functions as a dry dam: it diverts the
entire stream flow of Provo River, with
the exception of small quantities of
water that leak through the diversion
structure. It is also the lowest diversion
on the Provo River and the first
diversion encountered by June sucker as
they ascend the Provo River to spawn.
The June sucker is an endangered fish
species found only in Utah Lake, which
swims from Utah Lake up into the Provo
River to spawn.
The Fort Field Diversion restricts June
sucker spawning to only the lowest 3.8
miles of Provo River, and compromises
the quality of spawning habitat in that
lower reach; the upper 1.1 miles of the
4.9 mile reach designated as critical
habitat for June sucker, is often
inaccessible during May and June, when
June sucker spawn.
The decision to select the Proposed
Action from the EA will allow
reconstruction of the Fort Field
diversion structure resulting in fish
passage and access to the additional 1.1
miles of June sucker’s critical habitat. It
will also allow accurate and real-time
bypass and measurement of instream
flows, maintaining the ability to meet
diversion requirements for canal
companies and legal water users who
divert water at the Fort Field Diversion
structure.

Based on information contained in the
EA, a Finding of No Significant Impact
(FONSI) was made, thus the Proposed
Action does not require preparation of
an Environmental Impact Statement
(EIS) (it will not have a significant effect
on the human environment; negative
environmental impacts that could occur
are negligible and can be generally
eliminated with mitigation; there are no
unmitigated adverse impacts on public
health or safety, threatened or
endangered species, sites or districts
listed in or eligible for listing in the
National Register of Historic Places, or
other unique characteristics of the
region; no highly uncertain or
controversial impacts, unique or
unknown risks, cumulative effects, or
elements of precedence were identified
that have not been mitigated; and,
implementation of the action will not
violate any federal, state, or local
environmental protection law.)

Environmental Assessment and Finding
of No Significant Impact can be
