The EA describes the potential impacts of the Big Pack project, which involves approximately 34,471 acres including an area about 40 miles south of Vernal. The public comment period began Monday and ends Jan. 20. This EA analyzes three alternatives alter-natives in detail: the proposed action alternative, the no action alternative, and the sensitive resource protection alternative. The proposed project includes the construction of 292 well pads, and the drilling of 664 gas wells. Up to 65 miles of new or upgraded road, 105 miles of pipeline, and one compressor station would also be constructed. The total surface disturbance would be 1,620 acres out of the 34,471 acre project area. A CD of the document can be obtained from the BLM or the document is available online at 'planning.html. The public is encouraged to submit comments on this EA. Comments should be as specific spe-cific as possible with references to chapters and page numbers. The most useful comments will contain new technical or scientific scien-tific information, identify data gaps in the impact analysis or will provide technical or scientific rationale for opinions or preferences. prefer-ences. The BLM asks that anyone submitting a comment refer to "Big Pack EA" in all their correspondence. cor-respondence. Written comments will be accepted by fax, email, or letter.

Prudential Ashlny Valley Really 083 W Aim St. (-r,J, UT TSg-7265 Pronghorn antelope from Parker Mountain in southern Utah were recently i ntroduced to new homes in northeastern Utah south of U.S. Highway 40. Last week the state Division of Wildlife Resources moved 49 pronghorn to the Book Cliffs and 50 to the Anthro unit. "We released 49 antelope in the Book Cliffs: 11 bucks, 30 does, and eight doe fawns," said DWR wildlife biologist Dax Mangus. "On the Anthro unit, we released 50 animals: 12 bucks, 1 buck fawn, 27 does, and 10 doe fawns." Magnus said all the animals were marked with pink numbered num-bered ear tags to help biologists get better estimates of survival and to document animal movements. move-ments. DWR released the pronghorn to help offset the severe decline in numbers caused by the extended drought and other impacts to their habitat. Without supplementing supple-menting the herds with new animals, the biologists are afraid of losing these herds because the population is shrinking and so is the breeding potential as the surviving animals get older. DWR has also been working to enhance the ranges with water and forage projects. "These pronghorn were released re-leased at the upper elevational reaches of pronghorn habitat on the respective units," Mangus said. "This was done to avoid the lower ranges where impacts from the drought and energy development have been greater in recent years." Magnus said the release sites also correspond with habitat improvement efforts including water development like guzzlers and water catchments. "We have also enhanced the ranges by thinning the pinion-juniper pinion-juniper woodlands and setting prescribed burns," he said. "Both of these techniques are used to promote the growth of desirable forage plants for wildlife." Biologists consider themselves them-selves lucky to have a con venient source of pronghorn to supplement supple-ment the northeastern herds. "The Parker Mountain pronghorn herd continues to produce excess animals, which have to be removed," Mangus said. "If we can take those animals ani-mals and move them to areas where antelope populations are struggling, it is a win-win proposition."
