Camp units 1-3 and 5-11 in Lodgepole Campground may be reserved re-served for individual family use. Reservations can be made by calling 1-800-283-CAMP and talking with a reservation operator with the Mistic Corportion. Mistic is coordinating coordi-nating the National Forest camp ground reservation system in 1993, as they have done in the past. Most of the undeveloped recreation recre-ation areas such as Kane Hollow and Grizzly Ridge will be open as the snow leaves in these areas projected pro-jected in the first part of June. All undeveloped areas are managed on a "pack it in-pack it out" basis and no fees are charged. Undeveloped areas are often the site of group camps and picnics. Groups of 15 or more people conducting con-ducting group activities on the Vernal Ranger District are reminded to obtain a group permit at the Forest Service Office. These permits per-mits are free and only take about 5 minutes to process. The permits allow al-low the Forest Service to provide users with information on Forest management activities and help in alleviating overcrowded areas. Groups of 25 or more people may need to obtain a charge camping permit if their recreation event is advertised in the news media, if concession items are planned to be sold, or if an admission fee is charged. Later camp area openings are projected pro-jected this year due to the amount of remaining snow. Vehicle travel should be confined to established roads as much as possible when ground conditions are wet Several areas are closed or restricted re-stricted to vehicle travel to protect resources and prevent conflicts of use. These areas are pinpointed on the Vehicle Travel Map, which is available at the Vernal Forest Service office. Community Calendar May 19 There will be a retirement reception to honor E.

As engineers search for solutions to the high cost of building and maintaining America's roads, a Colorado company com-pany has developed SOMAT, a new shale-oil-based premium asphalt product that dramatically extends the life of roads and reduces maintenance and rebuilding costs. Shale Oil Modified Asphalt Technology (SOMAT), developed by The New Paraho Corp., has been shown to significantly improve the life-cycle cost of maintaining roads when compared to conventional asphalt as-phalt Based on the success of product road tests in Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Texas and Michigan that started start-ed in 1989, New Paraho initiated a market test program last fall to explore ex-plore the commercial viability of SOMAT. "The first phase of our market test surprised everyone. Bv February we had already sold out our planned production run of SOMAT SO-MAT for use in western Colorado during this summer's paving season," sea-son," said Joseph L. Fox, New Paraho president. As a result of the initial response, New Paraho is tripling SOMAT production pro-duction at its Rifle facilities to allow the market tests to expand to other states such as Texas, Utah and Michigan. "We're very encouraged with the performance of SOMAT and the subsequent expansion of our market testing program," said Fox. "We've hired more people to handle the increased in-creased production, bringing our total to-tal to 18 employees at our Rifle plant." When regular asphafy is mixed with 10 percent of New Paraho's product, SOMAT can extend road life considerably, yet accounts for road construction cost increases of only 10 to 15 percent, explained Fox. "Field test results indicate very clearly that SOMAT significantly reduces moisture damage, rutting and aging when combined with conventional con-ventional asphalt," Fox said. "Because greater emphasis is being placed on infrastructure improvements improve-ments across the nation and because project longevity is a major concern for construction planners, we anticipate antici-pate more demand for SOMAT." The New Paraho Corporation, a Colorado company, develops shale-oil-based products designed to complete com-plete nationally in niche markets without government subsidies. The company is planning to conduct research re-search on other shale oil asphalt applications ap-plications such as crack filler, roofing roof-ing materials and sealant materials.
