He will be speaking Sunday, April 24 at the Glines 2nd Ward, 1510 West Hwy. 40 at 11 a.m. Deadline extended for Vernal Draft RMP In February, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) released its Draft Resource Management Plan (RMP) for the Vernal Field Office the document that will determine where oil and gas drilling can take place, what designated trails off-road vehicles will have to stick to and what places plac-es will be protected for their wilderness values. The Vernal Draft plan does little to protect citizen proposed wilderness outside of existing exist-ing Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs), and in a nutshell, BLM is giving away the store to the oil and gas industry and motorized motor-ized recreation interests. In particular, outside of already protected WSAs, the agency's draft plan would leave less than 1 percent of the nearly near-ly 2 million acres of public land managed by the Vernal field office completely off-limits to oil and gas leasing. Potential wilderness lands (outside of Women On May 4th the Vernal Express will do a special section on outstanding Women in Uintah County.

Austin Glade Anderson served 2 years in the Alaska Anchorage Spanish speak WSAs) would be hit hard of the nearly half a million acres of proposed wilderness (about 72 percent of which the BLM has previously agreed has wilderness wil-derness characteristics), over 400,000 acres will be open to oil and gas development. The off-road vehicle (ORV) special interest groups get a goodie bag too: BLM proposes to designate nearly 5,000 miles of motorized routes, hundreds of miles of which penetrate proposed wilderness lands. To put this into perspective, it's only 3200 miles from Vernal to Anchorage, Alaska. The bottom line is that BLM's draft plan would allow spectacular public lands, such as Upper Desolation Canyon, White River, Bitter Creek, much of Utah's Bookcliffs and scenic canyons near Dinosaur National Monument to be controlled by the oil and gas industry and motorized recreation recre-ation special interests. of Uintah County Unsung Heroines SEND IN YOUR NOMINATIONS TODAY!
