In 2000, the agency restricted some off-road vehicle use on about 550,000 acres in Box Elder County in northwestern Utah, saying it was concerned about existing damage to the land and wanted to prevent creation of new trails. Later that year, it issued similar restrictions covering about 250,000 acres in Grand County in eastern Utah, where the town of Moab and surrounding slickrock trails attract crowds of campers, mountain bikers and off-road vehicle users. "significant adverse effects" > on land it manages. Biber, whose group was allowed to intervene in the case to support the BLM, said after the hearing that many trails in both areas remain open to off-road vehicles. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeff Nelson said if the BLM were required to seek public comment and conduct environmental studies each time its experts determined a closure was because of significant damage to the land, the agency's work would grind to a halt. His group was allowed to intervene in the case to support the BLM. Nelson said the BLM's regulations also require it to ease such restrictions when the condition of the land affected improve enough to allow restored access. That happened in April 2003, when the Box Elder County closure area was reduced to about 189,000 acres, he said. The judges did not say when they would rule. Paul Mortensen, representing the Utah Shared Access Alliance, told a three-judge panel of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that the BLM ignored its own regulations by failing to seek public comment before issuing the closures. He also said allowing the agency to continue making such decisions could increase environmental damage elsewhere by concentrating off-road vehicle users in areas that remain open to them. U.S. District Judge Bruce Jenkins in Salt Lake City threw out the alliance's lawsuit in 2003, and the group appealed to the Denverbased appeals court. Attorney Eric Biber, representing the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, told the judges the BLM had no choice in issuing the off-road vehicle restrictions without seeking public comment. Federal law and BLM regulations require such action when the agency determines there have been Space capsule on course to Earth DUGWAY PROVING GROUND, Utah (AP) - A NASA spacecraft carrying the first comet dust samples to Earth is on course to land in the Utah desert this weekend, scientists said Thursday. "We are nearing the end of quite a fantastic voyage," said Don Brownlee, principal investigator for the Stardust project. Late Friday, the spacecraft will adjust its night path for the third and final time. Then late Saturday, it is scheduled to release the trip home. Comets are icy bodies that formed in the outer fringes of the solar system soon after a gaseous cloud collapsed to create the sun and planets about 4.5 billion years ago. Studying comets could yield important clues to the origins of the solar system, scientists say. The Stardust capsule is set to land at a remote Army base - the same site where NASA's Genesis probe carrying solar wind atoms crashed in 2004 after its parachutes failed to open. shuttlecock-shaped capsule that will plunge through the atmosphere for a parachute landing early Sunday. The mothership will enter perpetual orbit around the sun. Stardust's homecoming will mark the end of a seven-year, $212 million journey in which the spacecraft swooped past comet Wild 2 to collect microscopic dust. Along the way, it also captured interstellar dust, storing all the samples inside the capsule for the WELLS FARGO The Next Stage* uaYi Get the College Combo® and you'll get the tools you need to keep your college finances in order.
