May 5. Shale land tracts to be nominated lands for consideration in two possible lease sales tentatively set for Leases would be developed by In Situ," or underground technologies ss part of Interior's prototype oil shale program aimed at supplementing United States future energy supplies. The call for nominations, to be published in the Federal Register, directs energy companies to submit proposals for in situ development of the tracts they name. The companies also are required to submit plans for mitigating environmental problems, minimizing water and power requirements, and providing maximum protection for the health and safety of workers. Nominations and comments should be submitted not later than June 30, 1975, to the Director, Bureau of Land Management, Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C. 20240. Interior's Assistant Secretary for Land and Water Resources, Jack O. Horton, mid-197- Mrs. Josephine Yergensen, RooseTreasurer, completes training for financial personel. City official completes training As part of a continuing program of training for key city employees, Mayor Hollis Hullinger announced this week that Mrs. Josephine Yergensen, city treasurer, had received a certificate of completion from the Denver regional training center of the Civil Service Commission, for having satis factorally completing a course of instruction in bookkeeping and accounting for city and county governments. The city sponsored Mrs. Yergensens attendance at the course, which was held in Salt Lake City. Basin Municipal and Industrial Water Study. The report was prepared by Horrocks and Associate, consulting engineers for the Central Utah Water Conservancy district Mr. Horrocks predicted that by 1990 the primary source of culinary water in the area would be surface water passing through treatment plants. He also stated the day has passed when water would sell for five to eight cents per 1,000 gallons. Present rates, using treatment plants, are expected to be 5 cents per 1,000 gallons. This is still below the 18-2-5 cents per 1,000 gallons paid by many water users in other areas he added. The feasibility of using spring water from the Miners Gulch area on Rock Creek was also discussed. Mr. Horrocks stated this water is the best around, but a grant from the federal government for $8,000,000 would have to be matched by another of $8,000,000 to $9,000,000 from water users. The $8,000,000 grant is about equal to what the entire state of Utah receives during a three year period. The possibility of receiving such a large amount for one project is very unlikely he said, the question of water rights at the source creates further problems for this 12-1- The Interior Department today asked industry to nominate tracts of oil shale velt City J Water to continue as major problem county leaders told highlight Basin talent 1975 be for both Roosevelt and West Roosevelt Stake, and will begin at 8 p.m. 6. emphasized that leasing of the two tracts selected from those nominated would be undertaken only after completion of environmental analyses required by the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. This would include publication of draft and final environmental impact statements, he said. In situ technologies could result in environmentally superior ways of developing the Nation's vast oil shale resources, the Assistant Secretary said. In these processes the oil is extracted from the shale rock by introduction of a heat source underground. It is anticipated that the in situ processes will require fewer people, less water, and will eliminate the problem of disposing of the spent shale. Thus the social and economic impacts on the project Lynn Ludlow, manager of the Central Utah Water Conservancy District, commented on the study and then gave i status report on the progress of the Uintah, Upalco, and other units of the Central Utah Project He stated that with the help of Congressman Gunn McKay (D-U-t) and other Utah congressional leaders, actual funding in fiscal year 1976 (FY76) and FY 77 may approach the amounts requested. The meeting was attended by numerous government and civic leaders, including all three Duchesne county commissioners, the mayors of Duchesne and Roosevelt and city coundlmen from development area would be considerably reduced in addition to the environmental advantages. Interior officials said. The Departments prototype oil shale program got underway in 1974 with the tearing of two tracts in Colorado and two in Utah. Two Wyoming tracts were offered for lease last year but there were no bidders. The tracts now under lease would be mined and the shale processed by conventional technology, in contrast to the in situ methods. Each tract is approximately 5,120 acres.

Area Leaders attend alcohol drug workshop On April 16 through 18 the National Institute on Drug Abuse, a Division of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, held a workshop in San Francisco for the western states to meet and discuss drug prevention programs and to assist in designing proposed national policy on drug abuse prevention and education. Utah had four representatives at the workshop. Two of them were from the Uintah Basin, the only region in the state represented by local rather than state agency people. Rose Anna Miller, sponsor of the Youth Council on Alcoholism & Drugs, and Larry Abplanalp, Director of the Public Education Program, were invited by the National Institute on Drug Abuse due to their interest and activity in the drug prevention field. Both are members of the Regional Advisory Council on Alcoholism & Drugs, a of the Uintah Basin Association of Governments. For too many years the Federal, State and local governments have been concentrating in the area of treatment and rehabilitation. It is encouraging to note that they are now beginning to focus in on the field of prevention and education." Mrs. Miller, in commenting, further, stated, This is a new and exciting field filled with many challenges. Prevention is in its infancy and we are now pioneering a new approach to an old problem. There are bound to be disappointments along the way, but I strongly feel that we, as a nation, are finally heading in the right direction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse is holding four more seminars across the nation in different regions to gather more local input in drafting the proposed national policy. The general consensus of the states in attendance at the workshop was that the problem in the past has been due partially to individual agencies working in their little areas without knowledge of what other areas were doing. This, coupled with the greater problem of autonomy between Federal, State and local levels at government, has cortributed to the lack of progress in the field of prevention. Therefore NIDA saw a need to set up this workshop, which is the first of its kind, in which local, state and federal people could get together and establish what role each should take in the field of prevention. This comparison of ideas has afforded the local people an opportunity to express themselves and present the feelings of the community. It was a healthy exchange of dialogue, said Mrs. Miller, and we left with the feeling that the various levels of government were finally considering the views and needs of the community."
