Input on Diamond Mountain Roads Uintah County is seeking information from individuals that have used Class "D" roads since 1976 in the Jackson Draw area on Diamond Mountain. Several private landowners have requested that the County vacate multiple "D" roads from the County Transportation Map. The County has identified several roads that access public pub-lic (BLM) land and according to Uintah County Civil Attorney Ed Peterson, if the roads can be "proved up" by showing continuous contin-uous use by the public to access BLM or other public lands for any reason, those roads could be kept open to allow access to public lands that may not have any other reasonable means of access. The County seeks any individuals indi-viduals that have accessed BLM or other public lands by using the roads in the Jackson Draw area. This use includes camping, camp-ing, hunting, fishing, trapping, picnicking, sightseeing, hiking, hik-ing, grazing, horseback riding, woodcutting, or any other use for other reasons. Individuals are encouraged to contact the Uintah County Attorney's Office at (435) 781-5435 or Email: epetersonco.uintah.ut.us. Ed Peterson stated, "It is extremely important for Uintah County to protect public access to land that is held in trust for the public. It is critical that the public has a reasonable opportunity oppor-tunity to access its own lands. These roads may be permanently permanent-ly closed if evidence of their use is not obtained." A public hearing on this issue will occur on June 12, 2006, at 7 p.m. in the Uintah County Commission chambers, in the Uintah County Building, 147 East Main Street, Vernal, Utah. |
