Tri Valley Watershed (Sponsor = Wasatch County)

The project is funded through authority of the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act.

Project Description

The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), with Wasatch County as the project sponsor, is proposing to partially fund through the Watershed Protection and Flood Prevention Act (Public Law [PL] 83-566), the Tri-Valley Watershed Project (Project) in Wasatch County, Utah. Improvements are being proposed to address system pressure/velocity deficiencies and Transite pipe (asbestos cement pipe) concerns in the Middle and Lower Pressure Zones of the Daniel Irrigation system.

NEPA Analysis

NRCS, as the lead federal agency, is initiating National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) analysis in the form of a Supplemental Watershed Plan and Environmental Assessment (Plan-EA) to analyze impacts to the natural and human environment from this Project. The Plan-EA will comply with the Council on Environmental Quality’s regulations at 40 CFR Parts 1500-1508 which require an evaluation of potential environmental impacts associated with federal projects and actions.

Current Status

The Project is currently in the Draft Plan-EA review period and interested parties are invited to review and provide comments on the Draft Plan-EA. A public open house will be held from 6:00 to 7:30 PM on Tuesday, September 9, 2025, at the Senior Center Auditorium (465 E 1200 S, Heber City, UT), to provide Project information, answer questions, and collect comments. See the Notice of Availability (NOA) under Project Documents below for more information and to download the Draft Plan-EA documents.
