In a letter to the Emery County Public Lands Council, which has an advisory role over the issue, Beckwith detailed the reasons why his com- -' pany felt the southern route to the SITLA land was best. The route w as chosen for several reasons. First, it is based upon an existing road, portions of which have already been improved and upgraded under prior USES approval. Second, the route is gentler in slope and contour: allowing less intrusion and cutting than other routes. Third, the route is not as visible to recreationists as other routes might be. Fourth, the route employs travel over Cottonwood Creek Canyon Road by trucks Photo by Robert Olsen Keep Wishing For Snow loaded with logs. Cottonwood Creek Canyon Road does not have the higher reereationist volume, thereby allowing us to keep potential traffic problems to a minimum, Beckwith said in his letter. SITLA applied for approval of the southern route to the forest service last year. The proposed route crosses areas which the forest service has designated as roadless. The logging company hojies that the forest service will consider an environmental assessment sufficient for reviewing access to the SITLA land. If the forest service agrees then the company hopes to begin the timber harvest this summer. If the forest service requires an environmental impact statement, then the harvest could be delayed until 2002. If the harvest has to wait until 2002, then the company fears that the Spruce Bark Beetle may have completely devastated the timber. A forest service spokesman said that the proposed route to the SITLA land is the most logical way to gain access to the timber. The status of a permit is still pending.
