Environmental Assessment Public Information Meeting – September 2010

1. Realignment of a Portion of a Utah Lake Drainage Basin Water Delivery System (ULS) Pipeline through Provo and Orem Realignment of a Portion of a Utah Lake Drainage Basin Water Delivery System (ULS) Pipeline through Provo and Orem Environmental Assessment Public Information Meeting – September 2010

2. What is NEPA? • National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 • Requires that any project using federal funds must be environmentally and sociologically reviewed • Provides detailed project description • Describes multiple alternatives • Discusses existing environmental and sociological setting • Evaluates impacts on resources

3. 2004 Plan Utah Lake System Proposed Action

4. Environmental Assessment (EA) Process for Provo Realignment

5. Project History • The ULS EIS was completed in September 2004. • The No Action Alternative in the current EA was the preferred alternative in the EIS.

6. Current Project Process • Value Engineering Study Workshop completed in December 2009 with the following recommendations • 1)  Avoid the geological slide area hazards along 1450 East and Foothill Drive. • 2)  Minimize the length of pipeline in 900 East and avoid the reach south of University Parkway if possible. • 3)  Reduce costs by using the shortest alignment that avoids (1) and (2) concerns. • 4) Alignments evaluated in this EA are a combination of alignments recommended in the VE Study Report.

7. No Action Alignment/Geological Hazards

8. Purpose and Need • Have not changed from those stated in the ULS EIS. • However, the proposed realignment would: • Avoid active and historical landslides • Reduce the risk associated with geologic faults • Shorten the overall pipeline length

9. AlternativeAlignments

10. Key Resources • Applicable to entire alignment • Specifically discussed South of 2200 North • Geologic Hazards • Traffic • Utilities • Schools and Residences
