Environmental assessment of effect on Goode Springs project
Linton F. 2002. Environmental assessment of effect on Goode Springs project. Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce Canyon, UT
Bryce Canyon National Park is conducting an environmental planning analysis to assist our neighboring community (Tropic, Utah) in repairing their water collection system located at the Dr. Goode Spring (see Figure 1). The water collection apparatus ceased working several years ago and the Town is seeking authorization to repair existing problems, implement some erosion prevention measures, and develop a long-term maintenance agreement. The purpose of this planning effort is to preserve and protect natural and cultural resources and meet the Park's responsibilities for providing the Town of Tropic with access to operate their water development at Dr. Goode Spring. The decision facing the park is whether to authorize the project as proposed or request further modification to the proposal and/or mitigation measures The location of the proposed project is in Tropic Canyon approximately 2 miles north of the Town of Tropic. The project as proposed is to repair the existing facility; shore up the stream-bank to protect against further erosion, and replace about 325 feet of buried pipe
