Cache Water District

The Cache Water District, Along With the Logan River Blacksmith Fork Irrigation Company and Others, Will Restore Approximately 11,000 Feet of Banks of the Logan River Near Logan, Utah, Just Northeast of Salt Lake. Past Land-use Practices Have Impaired the Reach of the River Through Years of Agricultural Encroachment, Overgrazing, and Encroachment by Invasive Plant Species, Which Have Prevented or Eliminated Mid-level and Ground-level Vegetation and Other Native Species. the District Will Improve an Irrigation Diversion, Pipe the Delivery Canal, Remove Debris, Eliminate Invasive Plant Species, and Grade Vertical Banks. the Project Will Improve Channel-floodplain Interaction, Enhance Instream Habitat for Aquatic Species, and Strategically Limit Bed Scour That Creates Water Quality Issues. the Logan River Blacksmith Fork Irrigation Company Would Receive Water Savings of 1,225 Acre-feet of Water Annually, Which Is Currently Being Lost to Seepage. Conserved Water Would Be Used to Supplement Water Needed to Stabilize the Agricultural Production. Recreational Users Would Also Benefit From Increased Safe Access to Approximately 2 Miles of River and Two New Access Points Planned by Logan City. This Project Aligns With the Logan River Conservation Action Plan. Project Supporters Include Logan River Blacksmith Fork Irrigation Company Private Landowners Trout Unlimited, Logan City U.s. Army Corp of Engineers and the Utah Division of Water Resources.
