Show Thursday, September 11, 2008 SPRINGVILLE HERALD 15 Rules set for oil shale development Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) (R-Utah) praised the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Tuesday for completing a multi-year study which sets the environmental rules for oil shale and tar sands development on federal fed-eral lands. The multi-year, multimillion-dollar Programmatic Environmental Impact Study (PEIS) covers Utah, Colorado and Wyoming, where most of the world's oil shale deposits sit. "A lot of folks have been armchair quarterback-ing quarterback-ing on the environmental aspects of oil shale development devel-opment in this country," Hatch said. "Now we have the official word from the actual experts on how the environment can be protected pro-tected during oil shale development." de-velopment." The PEIS was required by the Oil Shale and Tar Sands Development Act passed into law by Hatch as part of the Energy Policy Pol-icy Act of 2005. The next step in the regulatory process pro-cess is for the BLM to issue commercial lease regulations regula-tions for oil shale development. develop-ment. Draft regulations have already been noticed and final regulations have been stalled due to a Democrat-passed moratorium on the release of final regulations. regula-tions. If not extended, the moratorium would end this year on Oct. 1. The PEIS sets aside 1.9 million acres of public lands for potential oil shale development devel-opment and puts 305,000 acres of public lands off-limits off-limits to oil shale development develop-ment due to conflicts with more-restrictive management manage-ment needs in these areas. "The BLM determined that there is enough recoverable recov-erable oil in this resource to meet our need for imported im-ported oil at today's levels for more than 100 years," Hatch said.

The 2009 Jeep Liberty remains true to its legendary legend-ary 4x4 heritage by offering offer-ing two Jeep trail rated four-wheel-drive systems - Command-Trac and Selec-Trac II. The Liberty's exterior continues its rugged, classic clas-sic Jeep look that is sure to captivate and broaden its consumer appeal. For '09, two new exterior colors are available, sunburst orange or-ange pearl coat and deep-water deep-water blue pearl coat. Chassis improvements for the 2009 Jeep Liberty include stiffer rear axle shafts and retimed springs, shocks, anti-roll bars and steering gear valve. These enhancements provide a more precise, linear feel and improve steering and handling. Additional improvements im-provements to brake pedal feel are achieved through a retuned booster, low rollback roll-back calipers and a revised brake pedal ratio. Giving the 2009 Jeep Liberty Lib-erty that "only in a Jeep" open-air experience is the industry-exclusive Sky Slider full-open canvas roof. Although the feature fea-ture gets a "wow" reaction from all the passengers that came along for a ride, it didn't close all the way a couple of times. I had to re-open it all the way and close it again, which then it worked fine. There are two 2009 Jeep Liberty models: Jeep Liberty Liber-ty Sport and Jeep Liberty Limited. The signature seven-slot grille is standard on both. A front-end module that spans across the vehicle ve-hicle houses the grille and headlamp system in a single sin-gle unit. Front lamp modules mod-ules contain halogen headlamps head-lamps and optional fog lamps. The front fascia is body-color on all models. At the side of the vehicle, vehi-cle, deep body sections and a high beltline produce a tough, strong and capable appearance. A wheels-to-the-corner stance and dramatic dra-matic trapezoidal-shaped fender flares enhance the vehicle's side profile. Fender flares are painted paint-ed body -color on both the Sport and Limited models. Dark Slate mold-in-color bodyside moldings ac- - r r-":Mi v U L i m n ... SICK OF FEELING SICK?
