Mountain Standard Time when in effect) in all waters of the state except where otherwise specified in the 1977 fishing and protected aquatic wildlife proclamation. The earlier opening date applies only to the general fishing season opening date. Waters with special opening dates will remain the same. THE WILDLIFE Board approved the earlier opening date and granted authority to the Division of Wildlife Resources to set the 1977 season opener on either May 14 or 21, dependent on the Divisions ability to provide and plant fish prior to the determined date. After careful evaluation of available man power requirements and hatchery conditions throughout the state, Don Smith, director of the Division of Wildlife Resources, and Donald Andriano, chief of Fisheries, established the May 14 opening. DIRECTOR Smith said, We have attempted to maintain a consistency in the .' ! opening of our fishing season the last several years and have set aside the Saturday closest to June 1 as that day. This year, however, both the Wildlife Board and the Division felt it best, under present circumstances, to move the opening date - ahead to take advantage of current water conditions. Smith continued, We realize that this change may cause some hardships on resort owners and sportsmen who have planned vacation time around fishing season. However, the dry season we are experiencing has placed abnormal pressure on the states hatchery system and on water supplies. We are attempting to take best advantage of current, favorable conditions in the fishing waters of Utah by allowing fishermen to utilize those areas earlier than normal. The Wildlife Board is acutely aware that water will be in short supply during the latter part of this summer. Many of our hatcheries have experienced a significant reduction in water flowing into the hatchery; some of them as much as 50 per cent below normal," Smith said, creating a serious problem in maintaining the same numbers of fish in the hatchery as usual. We feel it is best to begin planting the catchable size fish now and allow anglers to fish for them. This will relieve pressure on the hatcheries and provide fishermen with the opportunity to fish waters while they are available. THE DIVISION also acknowledged the impact the early opening might have on programs and facilities of other state and federal agencies. Those groups have been contacted, and there is a strong attitude of cooperation toward making this unusual opening a successful one from all aspects. dertaken during and after mineral extraction. The basic forms for filing are available from the Divisions Salt Lake City office. Reclamation will generally have the objectives of providing for subsequent use of the land affected, preventing hydrologic and ecologic degradation, and abating mining related hazards to the States public safety and welfare. All classes of ownership of mines are affected by the Act. THE STATES only reclamation law provides that new mines have plans filed and approved by the Division before work commences. All and approved mining reclamation plans require that a surety, to cover the cost reclamation, be posted by the operator. Exploration work, which is related to minerals development, is a special case, according to Ron W. Daniels, Coordinator of Mined Land Development for the Division. A streamlined procedure for notice to the Division has been provided covering of activities; exploration however, these activities must be reported and some of responsibility sumed by the operators. degree as- Mr. to ACCORDING Daniels, the concept of reclamation work is not new to the State of Utah. Many operations in past years have been reclaimed and the minerals industry in general has been responsible in reclaiming lands on its own initiative. those not complying with the present Reclamation Law leave Nevertheless, officials say that the directorate is cutting its water bill by $270 per day in just one building.

I COUNTY PLANNING Director Joseph Moore said this time lapse will give both excavators and the county planning commission plenty of time to study the ordinance before the commission considers on the concept plan two weeks later on May 5. Mr. Moore says he anticipates the planning commission will hold a orpublic hearing before they act on the dinance. The ordinance, with an accompanying document which will establish a natural resource zone, will identify areas where native natural resources are located and provide ways to protect and conserve those resources. MR. MOORE said, if the ordinance is approved in concept, that natural resource zones in the unincorporated areas will be plotted on a map. He anticipated the ordinance, if passed, will effects on Davis City have ordinances as well as on Salt Lake, Weber and Box Elder Counties. They are watching the progress of the Davis County ordinance, he said. About 12 excavators heard the presentation. Two companies made requests for excavation permits, using guidelines specified in the proposed ordinance. Representatives from W.W. Gardner Inc. asked for preliminary approval of a gravel excavation plan in Bountiful. Parson Asphalt Company asked for a review of proposal for a permit for a plant and excavation site in South Weber. THE PLANNING commission asked for more information before okaying the preliminary plan submitted by W.W. Gardner. They will call for a public hearing conjointly with the Davis County Commission before taking action on the South Weber plant. The Parsons Asphalt request has been awaiting action for over six months since nearly 100 South Davis residents protested against the approval of the South Weber plant last fall. The planning commission has been waiting for the finalization of the excavation ordinance before calling for another hearing and taking further action. CURRENTLY FIVE gravel pits are in operation in unincorporated areas of Davis County and two more have made application. Under the proposed natural resource ordinance, the areas where excavation is currently underway will be in Industrial Degree Management from the Mas-- ; sachusetts Institute of Tech-:- . MR.

IF THE preapplication plan is approved, the excavator must submit final plans, which can be approved by the planning commission and Davis County Commissioners only after another public hearing. Mr. Moore estimated that the procedure to issue a permit would take about 90 days. Noel Gold, Gibbons and Reed Construction Company, said the 90 day procedure would be a hardship for excavators, but Mr Moore emphasized that the public must have time to respond. REVOCATION OF a NR permit will result if the excavator fails to comply with the ordinance, Mr. Moore said. Shirl Hales will inspect sites at regular intervals and act as enforcer. The proposed excavation ordinance also specifies reclamation of the land as the excavations progress. Final reclamation can begin no less than one year after the site has been abandoned UNDER THE proposed ordinance, all reclamation plans must be approved by the Davis County Planning Commission.
