According to Mike Whalen, BLM fire management officer, more than 39,000 acres of public, land were burned in 96 separate fires in the area, including 13,544 acres in Juab County. The districts largest fire was the Clay Springs blaze near Oak City, which burned 14,000 acres of public land after moving from the Fishlake National Forest. The Clay Springs fire, along with several smaller fires, brought total acreage burned in Millard County to 20,533 acres, more than any other Utah county. In addition, the BLM recorded 2,668 acres of public land burned in Sanpete County, and 1,309 acres in Sevier County.

If farmers are forced to use the Sheep Lane overpass, Paxman says, it would necessitate traveling many extra miles out of the way each time one of the farmers wants to reach his land. This would add more to the cost of farming in the area in addition to being an inconvenience. The UDOT officials said, however, that when the hearings were held before the decision was made to build the Sheep Lane overpass, farmers who attended seemed to prefer the Sheep Lane access. Those hearings were held when the freeway was still in a planning stage. Bill Tompkins deputy sheriff and jailer since September of 1980.

As an alternative, it was suggested that a graveled roadway be built along old highway 91 to the farming area, and Paxman was asked to investigate the possibility of obtaining rights-of-wain the area, since he farms a great deal of the land along the y ridge. Paxman said that land in the area was going for about $500 an acre now, and that that was quite a bit to donate for the construction of a graveled road. That is a problem for us out there, he said. The 16 landowners involved were to meet with Commissioner R. Roscoe Garrett at the courthouse Wednesday evening to see what steps could be taken to force a change in the access road construction.
