1. INTRODUCTION

This report provides a conceptual plan to discourage and prevent All-terrain Vehicle

(ATV) and Off-highway Vehicle (OHV) usage within the right-of-way (ROW) required for the

construction and operation of the Kern River Gas Transmission Company’s (Kern River)

proposed Apex Expansion Project (Project). The Project includes approximately 28.01 miles of

36-inch diameter pipeline through the Wasatch Mountains (Wasatch Loop) in Morgan, Davis

and Salt Lake counties, Utah. This report has been prepared at the request of the United States

Forest Service (USFS) to support an amendment to the Forest Plan.

Ecology and Environment, Inc. (E & E) conducted environmental field studies for the

Project between April and July of 2009. These studies included the identification of trails and

access roads crossing the proposed ROW of the Wasatch Loop that may provide ATV/OHV

access to the ROW (see mapping in Appendix A).

This document provides background information on existing conditions in the Project

area and the barriers that are proposed to limit access to the Kern River ROW. Kern River has

developed this barrier plan to provide the barrier locations and barrier methods to minimize

potential impacts from unauthorized ATV/OHV use.

1.1 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED ACTION

Kern River is proposing to install rock barriers, earthen berms, or other suitable barriers,

at the intersections of existing access roads or trails crossed by the ROW. The proposed

pipeline route for the Wasatch Loop is crossed by multiple existing access roads and multiple

use trails as shown in the mapping in Appendix A. The USFS has expressed concern that

clearing and construction of the ROW may create new opportunities for unauthorized ATV/OHV

use within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (UWCNF). The proposed installation of

barriers is in an effort to discourage ATV/OHV use within the entire 28.01 mile ROW and to

prevent impacts to restoration efforts and biological and cultural resources.

2. ATV/OHV BARRIER GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Kern River recognizes preventing and discouraging the use of unauthorized ATVs and

OHVs within the ROW of the proposed Wasatch Loop Project area (as well as the existing

ROW) is an integral component of the success of the Project. To help ensure success of the

Project, the goals of ATV/OHV barrier plan are as follows:

protect revegetation and restoration efforts within the reclaimed ROW;

prevent disturbance and damage to erosion-control structures (e.g., water bars/slope

breakers);

prevent site disturbance resulting in the creation of noxious weed habitat; and

prevent wildlife displacement and destruction of wildlife habitat.

The design objectives that will be implemented to discourage and prevent ATV/OHV use

include:

creation of new ATV/OHV barriers where access roads and trails intersect or are within 100

yards of the proposed ROW;

improve existing rock, earthen berm, and buck rail fencing barriers already in place at

various access road crossings; and

install signage at all barrier locations indicating that ATV/OHV usage is not permitted within

the ROW.

A more detailed discussion of proposed barrier types is discussed in Section 3 below.

Kern River discourages ATV/OHV use of its ROW to prevent re-disturbance and

damage to erosion-control structures (e.g., water bars/slope breakers) and vegetation and to

protect biological and cultural resources. As an easement holder and not the landowner, Kern

River has limited control over activities of other parties on its ROW. As such, Kern River is

coordinating with the USFS and other land owners for approval of barrier installation methods

and locations to control unauthorized ATV/OHV use where possible.

3. IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Good planning and associated design are necessary to Project success. The goal of the

Implementation Plan is to identify potential design factors for the selected barriers, as well as

any constraints that would interfere with successful utilization. The key tasks to attain this goal

include: determining the most efficient and effective location for barrier placement; examining

current barriers (natural or man-made) to assess their effectiveness; and examining the

potential for using existing materials (cleared vegetation and/or excavated rock) to efficiently

construct effective barriers. Table 3-1 provides a list of the locations best suited for barrier

placement within the ROW and includes discussion on existing conditions and barrier selection.

A description of proposed barrier alternatives is provided below.

3.1 DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED BARRIER ALTERNATIVES

Rock Barriers. Rock barriers are an effective means of preventing ATV/OHV access as

their construction makes it difficult for these vehicles to cross them. To the extent practible,

Kern River may utilize excavated rock material to construct these barriers.

Earthen Berms. Earthen Berms are less effective than rock barriers in preventing

ATV/OHV usage because they may still be crossed by vehicles in some instances; however,

they may still be utilized where rock barrier construction is not feasible due to lack of suitable

material.

Buck Rail Fencing. Fencing is a cost-effective measure that can be utilized to deter

ATV/OHV usage. However, wooden fencing materials will break down over extended

periods of time and may require more routine maintenance than rock or earthen barriers. To

the extent practible Kern River may utilize timber obtained from proposed ROW clearing for

fence construction.

Brush Piles. Brush material generated from proposed ROW clearing may be utilized to

create brush pile barriers which also create wildlife habitat. Kern River will coordinate with

the USFS to ensure that brush piles do not create an unwanted fire hazard or create habitat

for pest insects.

Planted Vegetative Barriers. Spiny Horse Brush, a native plant to this region of Utah may

prove effective in discouraging ATV/OHV trail usage.

Appropriate Signage. Kern River will coordinate with the appropriate management agency

or landowner to locate signage to supplement constructed barriers at appropriate locations.

The proposed barrier locations referenced by Milepost (MP), barrier type, and existing

conditions are included in Table 3-1. The locations are depicted in relation to construction

ROW, existing trails and access roads on mapping included in Appendix A. The final sitespecific barrier design for each barrier location will be determined based on consultation with

the USFS and private landowners. Barriers will be installed prior to construction or following

construction based on location and the level of disturbance or access use expected during

construction in the barrier location.

Questar Rd. #2 21 of 21 23.8

Questar Rd. #2 will be used by Kern River during

construction as well as post construction in limited

and episodic intervals. Adjacent landowners

currently restrict the use of ATV/OHVs in the area.

However, cleared brush piles and/or planted

vegetation may by used at the 6 proposed barrier

locations to ensure prevention of ROW access.

Additionally, Kern River will coordinate with

landowners to minimize unauthorized ATV/OHV use.

Notes:

1 It is assumed that appropriate signage is used at each barrier installment.

2 Barriers are located adjacent to but outside of Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest area.

3 Kern River will coordinate with all parallel utilities if barriers require location on their ROWs.

4. MONITORING

To assess the condition and functionality of the ATV/OHV barriers, monitoring will

consist of surveys conducted for 5 years following construction. The first 3 years of monitoring

will be annual foot surveys performed in conjunction with restoration monitoring for the Project

and 2 additional years of surveys will be conducted in conjunction with annual aerial surveys.

The monitoring will assess the success of the barriers and the status of ATV/OHV use on the

ROW. During this time period, Kern River will report any identified unauthorized ATV/OHV

access on the ROW and will work with the appropriate management agency and/or landowner

to prevent, to the degree practicable, unauthorized ATV/OHV access onto the reclaimed ROW.
