OIL & GAS FIELD SIGNS They may not be as uniform as regular street signs, but these roadside signs direct trucks to the different oil rigs or pumping stations, or water storage facilities in the oil and gas fields south of Vernal. One dead, three injured during crash-filled week By Geoff Liesik Lawsuit planned over Colorado gas drilling plans By Judith Kohler Guest Writer DENVER (AP) - Four environmental envi-ronmental groups say they will sue to prevent the sale of federal oil and gas leases on the Roan Plateau, a western Colorado rich in minerals as well as wildlife and pristine backcountry. The groups said last Monday that they'll soon file a lawsuit in federal court seeking an injunction injunc-tion to stop the Bureau of Land Management from offering the leases in an Aug. 14 auction in Denver. The BLM plans to offer leases on about 55,186 acres of public land on the Roan Plateau, about 180 miles west of Denver. Of those, roughly 34,000 acres are on top of the plateau, an area considered particularly sensitive by some because of the wildlife habitat, including streams that are home to genetically pure native cutthroat trout dating to the last ice age. Matt Garrington of Environment Environ-ment Colorado, one of the groups pledging to sue, said there is overwhelmingsupportfromarea . communities, elected officials and conservation groups for protecting the Roan Plateau. "The Bush administration has skirted the law to push drilling, ignoring the wishes of local governments, the state of Colorado and citizens from all walks of life in favor of its industry friends," Garrington said. The groups, including the Colorado Environmental Coalition, Coali-tion, also plan to file a formal protest of the leases. Colorado Gov. Bill fatter w also considering whether to tile a protest, his spokesman, Evan Dreyer, suid in an e-mail last Monday. . . , , In March, the BLM rejected Hitter's alternative plan for the Roan Plateau that recommended more restrictions on drilling and phasing in leases rather than offering them all at once. Sen. Ken Salazar, D-Colo., will keep pushing legislation similar to Ritter's plan, said his spokeswoman, spokes-woman, Stephanie Valencia. Democratic Reps. John Salazar Sala-zar and Mark Udall also support the measure. Congress directed that the Roan Plateau should be leased, BLM spokesman Steven Hall said. He said a 1997 law transferring transfer-ring the land formerly known as the Naval Oil Shale Reserve from the Department of Energy to the Interior Department directed that the area's energy resources be developed. Federal officials have said the management plan opening some of the public land to leasing was seven years in the making and is one of the most restrictive ever approved by the BLM. "Further attempts to delay the leasing of these lands will deny Americans' access to energy we need everyday," Marc Smith of the Denver-based Independent Indepen-dent Petroleum Association of Mountain States said in a written statement. The BLM's management plan for the Roan Plateau projects drilling 1,570 wells from 193 sites, or well pads, on the public land on the plateau over 20 years. That includes 210 wells from 13 pads on top, where the BLM calls for oil and gas drilling to be done in stages and clusters to limit disturbance to 1 percent of the federal land at any time. Ritter suggested leasing the land in phases, saying he believes be-lieves that would increase what companies would pay. The BLM plan calls for the development to occur in stages, and Ritter has said companies are unlikely to pay a lot of money for leases they can't develop for a while.

The first crash occurred Friday Fri-day just before 8:30 a.m. on the Bluebell Highway about 5 miles west of Hancock Cove. UHP Sgt. Clay Morgan said 32-year-old Lisa A. Roberts of Bluebell was driving west on the highway when she turned around to try to calm her twins in the back seat. Roberts told troopers when she turned back around, she had driven off the right side of the road. She attempted to pull her SUV back onto the road, but over-corrected and began to roll. Morgan said the vehicle rolled 2Vi times and came to a rest on the driver's side. Roberts, who was wearing a seat, suffered injuries to her hands and cuts on her head. Her twins, who are almost 2 year s old, were in their child safety seats and were not injured. Roberts was taken by ambulance to Uintah Uin-tah Basin Medical Center, where she was treated and released. Friday's second crash happened hap-pened on U.S. Highway 40 near Gusher shortly after 5 p.m. Morgan Mor-gan said 36-year-old Timothy L. Earl of Castle Dale was driving his 1978 motor home west on U.S. 40 when he said something pulled him to the right side of the road. Earl's vehicle left the road, went tbrqugb a fence and into a telephone pole. Neither Earl or his passenger, 57-year-old Brenda G. Snipes of Vernal, were injured in the crash. Morgan said an inspection inspec-tion of Earl's vehicle revealed no mechanical problems. The sergeant said the weekend's week-end's third crash happened on Saturday at about 5 a.m. on U.S. 40 in Ballard. Morgan said witnesses told troopers that 23-year-old Jason Robert Pugh of Mt. Emmons crossed the center line, running his pickup truck off the left side of the road before over correct ing and rolling the vehicle. The sergeant said evidence at the scene corroborated the witness accounts. Pugh, who troopers say was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected from the truck and died at the scene of massive head injuries. The driver in the weekend's fourth crash was also ejected, Morgan said, but survived the incident. The sergeant said troopers were notified at 5 a.m. Sunday of a single-vehicle rollover crash on state Road 87, which connects Duchesne and Altamont. Morgan Mor-gan said 22-year-old Jacob Dean Smart of Duchesne County was drivinghis pickup truck south on SR-87 when he went off the right side of the road, over corrected and rolled off the left side of the road, striking a power pole. Smart was not wearing his seatbelt and was fully ejected from the truck. His passenger, 26-year-old Michael Adam Mc- Mahon of Duchesne was not wearing his seatbelt either. McMahon was laying in the back seat of the truck, Morgan said, and was not ejected. He had to kick out a back window to escape. The sergeant said McMahon found Smart lying a few feet from the truck and helped into the vehicle of a passing motorist, who took them men to a home in the area. McMahon later returned to the scene, Morgan said, and was taken to UBMC by ambulance Troopers were also able to locate Smart, who was also taken to UBMC by ambulance. Both men were transported to Salt Lake area hospitals for treatment of serious injuries including a broken neck and broken jaw. Both men were intoxicated, according to Morgan, and Smart was cited with several charges, including DUI with i inmrv. 789-3511 Don't Miss Out! Join our family oi subscribers today!
