Nyman said they vv ill need the commission's assistance on vv hats suitable. The commissioners invited Nyman to attend the public land council meetings which are held the second Tuesday of every month at 10 u.m. The next item on the agenda was the Division of Wildlife Resources update by Dcrris Jones. le mentioned that they now have a habitat biologist named Chris Colt who will be a liaison between the DWR and the oil and gas industry people. They also have a new fisheries biologist named Justin Hart. This will fully stall the aquatics division for the DWR. He also said the div ision has had to deal with a SbOO, 000 budget cut, but hopefully it will not effect too much and they have been able to sur-viv- e 1 the cuts without laying people off. He said that a memorandum understanding is being worked on with SITLA to allow drilling in the Gordon Creek area. There has been a misunderstanding in the past concerning that area and there has been some pressure to extract gas from the Gordon Creek area in of the future. Commissioner Hatch men- tioned that the oil and gas companies are not reseeding as fast as they could and that the division needs to keep on them. The reclamation work on the pipelines and pads has been kept up on but the auxiliary lines which cover a lot of area have not received needed attention. Colt will look into the matter and discuss it with the industry. Commissioner Hatch said it is important that reseeding take place because north of Hunting-toat Mohrland, Hiawatha and other areas have a lot of elk that n, winter there. The DWR is looking to install game proof fencing along State Route 10 to prevent the migration of elk across the highway. They are talking with the Utah Department of Transportation, because they will be doing some refencing along the highway due to road construction in the area. The DWR believes it is a safety hazard to have the elk crossing over, especially the big bulls who cross the highway to feed in the hay fields in the area. They have installed game proof fencing along the highway by Helper and also a water guzzler has been installed to keep them from crossing the highway. Wild turkey transplants from the Boulder Mountain to the Book Cliffs have occured. On Desert Lake this year the water-foproduction has been zero. There have been only two goose broods at the lake.
