Show 3JSS) Good HEM Year The federal government In 19G9 received about 41 cents per acre and spent about 17 cents per acre for management, protection and development of the nearly 23 million mil-lion acres In Utah administered by the U. S. Bureau of Land Management Manage-ment In a report of BLM's activleies in Utah Robert D. Nielson, BLM state director for Utah, said receipts re-ceipts from mining, grazing and other activities totaled armroxi- mately $9.4 million. About a third or BLM's receipts are paid by BLM to the state treasury and Utah in 1969 received $3,288,731, which was $676,190 more than in the previous year. Congress for fiscal year 1970 appropriated ap-propriated $3,849,700 for BLM operations op-erations in Utah, Mr. Nielson said. As the decade closed the BLM was giving Increasing attention to multiple use management of the public lands and improvements of environmental quality, the BLM omciai noted. Under a congressional congres-sional mandate BLM has been carrying out studies to determine which areas it administers will likely remain in federal ownership for management under multiple use principles and which may be transferred to other ownership. In Utah 1,125,352 acres were classified in 1969 for federal retention and multiple use management, making a total of 16,244,564 acres of BLM-administered BLM-administered lands in the state which have been so classified. More than 75,000 acres were classified classi-fied in 1969 for transfer to state or private ownership. During the 1960's more than half a million acres of BLM-administer-ed land in Utah was transferred from federal ownership, Mr. Nielson said. This included 333,049 acres selected by the state of Utah in satisfaction of its entitlement under the statehood enabling act. Recreation activities continued to have a decided impact on the BLM-administered lands. BLM's state director said recreation visits during 1969 were estimated at more than two million. To accommodate accom-modate the people rudimentary facilities (pit toilets, garbage cans, and picnic tables) were installed at some locations. Mr. Nielson noted that BLM in the 1960's took its first step to develop recreation sites on public lands. A visitor center was built at Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry in Emery County under the Job Corps program. Camping facilities were installed at Red Cliffs, Washington Wash-ington County; Canyon Rims, San Juan County; San Rafael Bridge, Emery County; Price Canyon, Carbon Car-bon County; and Calf Creek, Starr Springs, Lonesome Beaver and McMillan Mc-Millan Springs, Garfield County. Picnic facilities were placed at Cedar Mountain, Emery County, and Hog Spring, Garfield County. BLM nationwide in 1969 con tinued its Johnny Horion program to instill in the attitudes of the public an awareness of environmental environ-mental quality. In Utah BLM employees em-ployees have distributed about 50,000 litterbags in the past several sever-al years to cooperating civic and youth groups to promote orderly use of our outdoors. Fires on BLM-admlnistered Utah lands in 1969 were generally less severe than usual. BLM firefighters this past summer controlled 104 fires that burned over 1,326 acres. Meanwhile, 31 Utah BLM fire specialists were dispatched to assist as-sist In Alaska's disastrous fire season. Nearly 50O sheepmen grazed some 690,000 sheep on BLM-adminlstered lands In Utah In 1969 and 1,764 cattlemen grazed about 147,000 cattle on those landa This accounted account-ed for about 14 per cent of the forage requirements for range livestock live-stock in Utah, Mr. Nielson said. BLM employees and stockmen In the 1969's have been cooperating cooper-ating in development of range management systems and 296 agreements have been entered into in Utah concerning Intensive management of more than seven million acres of BLM-administered rangelands in the state. As a result re-sult of this management grazing capacity is' increasing in many areas. BLM in Utah in 1969 seeded 18,000 acres, built 198 miles of fence and completed 97 water developments (including reservoirs, springs and wells). The bureau cleared 10,000 acres of pinon-juni-per and sagebrush lands which then were seeded to grass and more desirable browse species to benefit both livestock and wildlife. wild-life. ( Mr. Nielson said BLM sold 4,208 Christmas trees in Utah to commercial com-mercial dealers for $2,989.50-and issued 3,952 free use permits for individuals to cut their own Christmas Christ-mas trees in specified areas. Mineral activity continued strong on BLM-administered lands in Utah this past year, the state director added. BLM in 1969 issued permits and leases as follows: oil and gas, 1,898 (for 2,490,212 acres); coal, 35 (112,092 acres); potash, 20 (47, 940 acres); and phosphate, one (811 acres). No sodium, gilsonite or asphalt leases were issued in 1969. As of the end of the year the number of leases and permits outstanding on BLM-administred lands in Utah and acreage involved were as follows: oil an gas, 13,571 (8,135,020); coal, 249 (434,018); potach, 89 (167,616); phosphate, 21 (29,897); gilsonite and asphalt, 20 (11,788). An increase in the filing of mining min-ing claims for uranium occurred in Utah in 1968-69 comparable to the boom in the late 1950's. This activity ac-tivity was in counties on the Colorado Colo-rado Plateau but primarily in San Juan, Grand, Emery and Piute counties. There also was increased location of mining claims for copper cop-per and beryllium. Development of Brush Beryllium Company's mill at Lynndyl, Millard County, and mine at Topaz Mountain, Juab County, as well as Anaconda Company's activity in this same area, spurred mining claim locations in that part of the state. In some remote areas of Utah original land surveys have not yet been executed to identify townships town-ships and sections. In 1969 BLM crews surveyed 43,760 acres of these lands and also completed re-surveys re-surveys on 146,780 acres where original survey Identifications had been obliterated. For the Forest Service BLM rtmonumented 223 section corners. Indicative of BLM's continued progress In Utah, according to Mr. Nielson, was dedication December 6 of a new district office building and warehouse in Kanab, replacing an old Civilian Conservation Corps barracks building that had served as district headquarters since 1944. He added that BLM has 205 permanent perma-nent employees in the state to carry out Its responsibilities on 43 per cent of Utahs' total land area.
