A corridor of stakes and small plastic flags, looking like the survey route for a road, has appeared recently along the river's east bank between Desolation Canyon and Gray Canyon in the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, Uintah County. The region is described by a veteran river runner as one of the most rugged and beautiful stretches of river in Utah. Interior Secy. Cecil Andrus believes the Green River is of such high environmental value that he has asked Congress to study almost its entire Uah route for possible inclusion in the federal Wild and Scenic River System. But most of the protection the river could receive under the system would probably be impossible for that section if a road is built there. Neither the Ute Tribe nor the U S. Bureau of Indian Affairs, both of which have jurisdiction of the area, would take any responsibility for laying out the route when contacted by the Deseret News. Bill Belknap, a river runner from Boulder City, Nev., discovered the project Sunday while on a commercial float trip from San Wash above Desolation Canyon to Green River, Emery County. It's just below Florence Creek right near the river. Thats on the Indian side, Belknap said. The east bank of the Green is on the reservation in that region, and the west bank belongs to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). We're very disturbed about it. There were these little plastic flags on stakes, like they were laying out a road," Belknap said. "1 called the BLM this morning and asked them if they had heard anything about it. They themselves were very disturbed because they had heard the Indians had planned to issue some oil and gas leases on that river. The stakes ran from Florence Creek to Three Fords Canyon East, a distance of three miles, Belknap calculated. "This is sort of the junction where Desolation ends and Gray Canyon begins. It's the most y magnificent spot in the whole Desolation-Grain terrific this It is where change because stretch, scenery takes place. The Desolation section there is very highly colored, great big red sandstone bluffs.
