The Area Presently the Price District is developing guidelines for dev elopment and use of the public lands in the Cleveland, Price and Helper areas. The Bureau calls this the Wattis Unit. A map is enclosed showing the boundaries of the land involved. A total of 439,847 acres are considered in this unit of which 28 is Federal, 10 is Staite is private. We are and 62 concerned with the Federal land but the land ownership pattern is intermingled and the administrative decisions made for one ownership will certainly affect the others. On Thursday, Feb. 22 at. 7: 30 p.m., a Public meeting will be at the Carbon County held Courthouse in Price, to discuss (he use and management of public land in the Cleveland, Price and Helper areas. The purpose of the meeting is to get the public's feelings and ideas on how fine land should be manager and to gath er information that the public might have about the land and its use that the Bureau of Land Management, are not aware of. Glenn W. Freeman, Jr.. District Manager, Price District, invites the general public to attend and participate in the discussions. "Speak out. We desire your viewpoints," he pointed out. A Broehore on planning for the unit (Wattis unit) includes the following information ; The Opportunity The vast and frequently neglected public land of the West is fast becoming important to many people for miany reasons. The Bureau of Land Management is charged with the responsibility of managing this land to meat the needs and demands of the people. The Bureau is asking you to voice your opinion about what should be done with these lands and their nal'unal resources. Many times, there are conflicting demands made on the resources of a given ara. The manager must decide to prom ote one resource over the ether or find some compromise. In order for his decision to reflect The towns on for oil and gas and inquiry has been made abouit developing a motorcycle course. The Resources Minerals Present Situation. The north half of the area is rich in carbonaceous minerals. There are several coal mines, most of which are on- private land. Over the past several years, coal production has been declining. This is particularly tome of coal mined from federal land. Production may increase with the demand from the electric plants. Several cil and gas wells have been drilled but none are producing. There is an indication that oil and gas may be located throughouit the planning unit. One organization is currently planning to drill for oil on Pinnacle Bench. There are numerous gravel pits in the unit. These pits are located along roadways a n d most of the gravel has been used for State and County road consitruiction and maintenance. Because of the interest in the energy problems and the apparent opportunity to develop energy sources in this area, some conflict may exist between mineral development and otheir uses such as recreation and environmental considerations. Under these circumstances, should mineral exploration and development ba encour aged by placing no restrictions or should these activities be restricted to areas of low scenic value? Can mineral development be done in a way to avoid destruction of scenic and .

Recreation The general receration use in this planning unit is hunting and, sightseeing. The Price River is the only water body of importance in the unit that runs through pub lie land. It is of limited recrea tion value because of the silt pollution in the river and the irrigation diversions-Though there are no "primitive" or "natural" areas, many vegetative communities exist because of slope, exposure, and is elevation. These not in the uniqueness but the rapid change from one community to another. There are areas of brisflecone pine. The Price Canyon recreation area is the only one developed in the unit. It is currently being used to its capacity. It can accommodate 200 peopiti daily.

The officer cannot confiscata these instruments, but he may seize them for evidence. Materials and devices used for the unlawful taking or possessing of protected wildlife shall be seized and upon a finding by the court that they were used in the unlawful taking or poss essing of protected wildlife, the same must be confiscated by the court, conveyed to the Division of Wildlife Resources, and upon the expiration of time for appeal, sold) at public auction or otherwise disposed of by the division. It seems that no one, no matter how strictly he or she obeys and observes the law, how good their behavior is, or can be certain that they will never become involved in some type of a misdemeanor case. The only thing we can do is to plav the game faHv f"3 hope that our courts are fair In their judgment. Storage in Scofield Reservoir on February 1st was 22,300 Acre feet of useable storage.
