Environmental Assessment. Sugar Bottom Day Use Access Road, Coralville Reservoir, Johnson County, Iowa

Abstract

The Rock Island District, Corps of Engineers, proposes to construct a day use access road to the Sugar Bottom Recreation Area at Coralville Reservoir, Johnson County, Iowa. The reservoir was placed in operation in 1958. Its primary purpose is flood control, with recreational and wildlife as secondary purposes. Sugar Bottom Recreation Area is located on the east side of the reservoir. Access is by a 1.6-mile-long paved road off of County Highway F-28 (see Plate 1 - General Vicinity Map). Currently, all traffic at Sugar Bottom must pass through the campground. A separate day use access road would reduce traffic congestion on the existing roadway by providing an alternate route to the day use area. Further, the new roadway would improve safety conditions in the recreation area. The project involves construction of an access road to the Sugar Bottom Day Use Area. Keywords: Military publications, Periodicals.
