(EaDQDEjW Published .37 WyCal REQUESTS CONDITIONAL APPROVAL FOR GAS PIPELINE Pipeline Wyoming- - California Company (WyCal), a unit of Tie Costal Corporation, has asked the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for conditional apte proval of its optional expedited application to build a 1,000 mile natural gas pipeline from Wyoming to California. In a motion filed today with the that WyCal requested FERC, its pending application be approved now, subject to two conditions. The environmental condition, according to WyCal, would be fulfilled when the Commission acts upon a final environmental impact statement now being prepared by the FERC staff. The second condition would be met after the FERC publishes a notice of "open season" for the negotiation of firm and interruptible trans -portatin service on the proposed xjpen --access pipeline system and Wyeal files, 4fld FERC cts vpon, the executed contracts. The WyCal application presents the Commission 'with the perfect opportunity to act quickly and denoncisively to make open-acceand economically discriminatory competitive transportation service available to the California market through a major new pipeline system, the motion states. The $665 million pipeline system would transport 400 million cubic cer-tlfica- ss, feet of gas a day from the Wyoming overthrust area and 25 million cubic feet a day from other US. fcos producing areas toKemCounty, California, where there'6 a need for large volumes of natural gas to produce steam for enhanced oil recovery. The optional expedited certificate procedures were adopted by FERC In 1985 to enhance competition in the natural gas industry by providing a faster approval process for newplpellne service. Conditional approval of Wycal's project would be a major step toward competitive open -- access transportation in the United States. WyCal's application received support In November from a motion the VS. Justice Department filed with FERC endorsing the optional expedited procedures as a means of advancing both economic and administrative efficiency. "Indeed the Wy Cal application represents precisely the kind of circumstance for which the optional expedited procedures were designed," the motion stated. With timely conditional and final approval of Its certificate, WyCal points out that construction of the $665 million project could provide significant economic benefits to producers and consumers of natural gas and to the national economy. Increased production of the heavy oil In the Kern County area could lessen the nation's dependence on imported oil and improve the balance of payments. f? f, 1 In Wyoming, California, Nevada and Utah, the economic stimulus should exceed several billion dollars in terms of Increased tax revenues, royalties, jobs and payrolls, drilling expenditures and additional business investments. WyCal estimates that construction of the pipeline and related facilities would provide six million hours of labor. Using the accepted 3.5 to one multiplier for this type of project, the $665 million could generate more than $2 billion In expenditures in the first two 35 387-268- Remember you have to sign up. and refreshments!

Based upon a projected throughput of 650 million cubic feet of gas per day, WyCal estimates that the producing states, particularly Wyoming, would receive approxiniutaly $32 million a year in production tax revenues and royalties. Royalty revenues to the Goveri.inent from the production of gas on federal lands could exceed $6 miiaon annually. In California the increased development of the heavy oil deposits would substantially increase state tax revenues and royalty payments.

So they made a motion that the Beaver County leave the meeting. This leads me to the following thoughts about what was not reported on at the request of the Ci- est. Utah depends on its neighboring State, Arlonza, for a source of Merriam's Wild Turkeys to transplant in hopes of creating new turkey populations In suitable habitat locations. But, according to Game Manager Coles, until biological data shows that transplanting the Kalbab Turkeys into Utah will In no way jeopardize the poultry Industry in Utah, there will be a moratorium on transplants. Some turkeys carry a disease known as Mycoplasma galliseptlcum which may reduce weight gain, egg production and poult survival. Since Utah Is a large turkey producing state. Coles and his coharts are presently working towards a risk free method of field testing birds prior to transplanting. To develop this "risk lree' method requires trapping, collecting blood samples, and lab analysis during these cold winter months of January and Feb r 1967-68.Th- individuals of far reaching vision. Parent Teacher Association was founded by two Individuals who had the corr passion and farsightedness to see the need for parents and teachers to advocate in behalf of all children. In 1897, Alice McLellan Birney decided "the republic's greatest work is to save the children." She was assisted by Phoebe App-ersHearst in organizing a National PTA group. Just as children In 1897 needed advocates to help them grow and develop in a complex society, todays children need someone to arouse the responsibility in mothers and fathers, grandparents and all individuals to work with PTA to see that the needs of all children are met.. We 6incerely urge all individuals' to join a PTA. PTA Is for everyone --Children are our greatest heritage. on ry Surprisingly, wild turkeys are not native to Utah, so we have depended entirely on other states, particularly Arizona, for transplant stock. Wild turkeys which Inhabit the Tushar Mountains, east of Beaver, are a result of earlier transplant efforts from Arizona. Turkeys were first released on theTushars during the winter of turkeys multiplied rapidly and had reached a huntable population by fall of 1970. This original transplant gradually diminished over the years until it was virtually nonexlstant. During the early part of 1985, a second transplant of turkeys was made onto the Tushar Mountains. These birds were captured on the Klabab Plateau and were released near Indian Creek and near Mary-sval- e. Although there are not large numbers of turkeys on the Beaver Mountains as a result of this most recent transplant, there has been enough of an Increase to be encouraging. This past summer there were several sightings of hens with poults from several different areas. Although we have high hopes for the turkeys presently Inhabiting Beaver Mountain area, It Is hoped that the studies being conducted on the Klabab will result in safe transplant proceedures prior to next years trapping season. When It Is again safe to transplant wild turkeys into Utah, the Beaver area will be one of the areas In line for additional turkeys. The Field Representative for the Utah State Retirement Systems, Bonnie Sweat, will be In Beaver, at the City offices on Thursday, February 18, from 10:00 until 2:00. You may stop by at your convenience, or make an appointment by The represencalling tative can essentially handle all functions of the main office.
