Part of the BLM Utah Project Metadata project

Summary
The Kern River 2003 Expansion Project consisted of the installation of a natural gas pipeline from near Opal, Wyoming to a terminus in the vicinity of Bakersfield, California. The project was an expansion of the existing 36-inch diameter pipeline through the construction of 717 miles of additional 36 and 42 inch pipeline loops, several new compressor stations, and modifications to existing compressor stations, meter stations and various other supporting facilities. Cultural resources along the planned pipeline expansion corridor were identified, assessed, and mitigated according to relevant historic preservation laws. Various inventory reports, treatment plans, and mitigation reports have been produced for the project in Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, and California. This document is one portion of the overall cultural resources mitigation report for the Utah portion of this project.
This document, Part 1 of Volume V, reports on the Level II photographic documentation of portions of 19 historic linear sites crossed by the Kern River 2003 Expansion Pipeline in Utah. Subjects of the documentation include one trail, one road, two telephone lines, seven railroads, and eight canals. Individual archivally stable documentation packages were prepared for each of these linear resources that include descriptions, historical background, maps, and medium-format photographs of the segments prior to their disturbance by pipeline construction. The archival documentation packages are on file at the Antiquities Section of the Utah Division of State History and provide a record of these important cultural resources that can be referred to by researchers in the future.
