The proposed 3,000 megawatt Kaipar-owit- s power generating project in southern Utah continued to occupy a lot of BLM's efforts. A draft environmental impact statement (EIS) on the proposal was prepared by BLM and released to the public by the Department of the Interior Management of nearly half of Utah's land area involved the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Land Management in a wide variety of activities during 1975. According to Paul L. Howard, BLM state director for Utah, the Bureau was involved in such programs as recreation, mineral development, grazing, woodland products, and the preservation of environmental and cultural values of historical places. The bureau administers nearly 25 million acres in Utah, or approximately 47 percent of the state's land area. A reorganisation of ELM'S field offices was completed in m 7 5 which consolidated its eight Utah districts into five. Following public meetings across the state, a decision was made to locate district offices in Salt Lake City, Vernal, Richfield, Moab and Cedar City. Prior district offices in Fillmore, Price, Monti-celland Kanab were redesignated as area offices and Hanksville became the location of a new area office. New district boundaries coincide with county and ' major product Work in preparation for Utah's first draft EIS on livestock grazing vu started by BLM during the year. The pilot effort has been titled the Hot Desert EIS and includes most of the national resource lands in Washington County. BLM will prepare 20 grazing statements in Utah over the next 18 years due to a suit against the Bureau of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Approximately 140,000 head of cattle and half a million head of sheep graze part of the lands in the year on State. In a wild horse roundup by BLM on Dugway Proving Grounds in October, 19 horses were captured under a cooperative agreement between BLM and the U. S. Army. The Bureau b responsible for the management and protection of wild horses and burroe on federal lands. Legal action was initiated by W-early in the year to halt activitiea of fend in trespassers on southern Utah. (Some people including polygambt Alex Joeeph) had, without right, title, or permbabn occupied national resource lands in the scenic Cottonwood Canyon area northeast of Kanab. The people had filed homestead applications but the land was not available for homesteading. Some occupants have been removed from the land by court order. Litigation b pending on remaining trespass problems. Public meetings were held throughout the state to discuss possible revisions of oil and gas leasing categories on land. Intensive studies are being made with emphasis on public input to see if more BLM land can be made available for this kind of leasing. A check for more than 83 million wu sent to the Utah Treasurer in August as the state's share of funds received from federal lands administered by BLM for the first hslf of the year. In January, a check for approximately $2.5 million was sent to the state so BLM in 1976 augmented Utah's treasury by 85.5 million, Mr. Howard noted. Ownership of 6.15.74 acres of fends was transferred to the Utah Divbion of Wildlife Resources under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act. With increasing public use of the BLM administered national resource fends, there are more violations (either unintentionally or Intentionally). So the Bureau this past year for the first time employed some professionally trained few enforcement officers. - YGffli M2H Nielsen Furniture candl Western Auto 1 30 E.
