Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday April 5, 1989 Airport development (Continued from page 1) statement, prepared for the project, affirms that increased public demand for aircraft services in the area will exceed by far the extremely limited flight service facilities now available at Halls Crossing. Efforts to upgrade the dirt airstrip began over 20 years ago. Formal planning for replacing the airstrip began in 1985. Existing facilities do not allow proper access for fixed wing mercy flights to transport anyone injured in the area. Additionally, at the north the day-and-nig- ht existing airstrip slopes toward Lake Powell. At the south is a 200-fosandstone bluff. FAA considers these to be insufficient clear zones. We have no time to lose in developing this airport, says Congressman Howard Nielson. It is critical to the economic needs of San Juan County, and it is a vital transportation link in making this great recreational area accessible to the ot public.

Persons needing a permit should see Palmer at the city office. Costs, specifications, site plans and construction plans are required before a permit can be issued. Palmer said the process will be faster if the applicant provides such information when applying for a permit. There is a penalty for beginning new construction, additions or remodeling before a permit is issued. BLM sand and gravel sale In order to maximize return to the general treasury from large sand and gravel sales from public loans, the Bureau of Land Management Moab District has implemented new procedures for sales over $10,000. Sand and gravel is considered a saleable commodity under the authority of the Materials Act of 1947. Sand and gravel as well as a variety of other mineral materials such as petrified wood, common varieties of stone, pumice, cinders, and clay may be sold from deposits on the public lands that BLM administers. Generally, BLM designates areas as community pits so that members of the public can buy small quantities directly from the BLM resource area office. Under new procedures, any sale of sand and gravel which exceed $10,000 would have to be done competitively. Under the new procedures, when a request is received to purchase sand and gravel in a quantity which would exceed $10,000, BLM will publish a procedures notice of proposed sale. This notice will be published in local newspapers for two consecutive weeks and will contain information regarding the location and amount of gravel involved. Interested bidders would then have to contact BLM to express their interest. If there are two or more interested parties, a sale will be scheduled. If no competitive interest is shown, the sale can be negotiated. According to BLM Moab District Manager Gene Nodine, the reason for the new procedures is a shortage of sand and gravel available for sale in southeastern Utah. Nodine points out that in reality there are large quantities of sand and gravel on the public lands, but a considerable amount is tied up by nuisance mining claims. The new procedures do not affect designations of material or free use site rights-of-wa- y permits for public projects. For more information contact your local BLM office.
