The Division of Water Resources has planned to build a 125 foot high earthen dam that would have a storage capacity of 118,000 acre feet of water and sediment The reservoir would be approximately 12 miles long and have a maximum width of about 0.8 miles. THE PROJECT is designed to supply water for oil shale development, irrigation water for the Ute Indian Lands, a recreation lake, and possibly hydroelectric power generation. The District is now preparing to conduct an environmental analysis of the proposed project. The analysis will be used to help make a decision on whether an environmental impact statement is needed and whether to grant the State of Utah the right to build the dam and reservoir on federal land.

"Although these late spring snowstorms may cause some delays, we should have enough areas open to handle the large crowds we expect when fishing season opens on Memorial Day weekend. The tour of the dam is already open daily from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. The visitor center at the dam will be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 1, 2. 8. 9. 15 and 16. Beginning May 22, both this visitor center and the one at Red Canyon will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Little Hole Road is scheduled to be open by May 8, but these recent snowstorms could delay this by a week or more, acrording to Combs. This road is rlosed each spring to prevent damage to the road surface when it is soft and wet. Most of the commercial establishments in the area are already open to provide services to visitors. self-guide- d Quirk Tip Broiled oranges garnet: Halve and section oranges, spoon one teaspoon each honey and maraschino cherry juice over each half.

QddO " Open Letter To The People Of The Uintah Basin I have heard a lot of criticism about our doctors and hospital in Roosevelt I am here to tell you that if it weren't for them I wouldnt be here to write this, since I was a recent patient a victim of a serious heart attack. We have the finest doctors and hospital personnel anywhere. I also had excellent food and a special thanks to the wonderful kitchen personnel that plan tiie meals. Let's give credit where it is due, and let us support them by praise, not criticism. Put yourself in their shoes and see how for you can walk. A Greatful Leland Jarvis Lapoint Legislation to amend truth in lending act Senator Jake Garn today introduced ' legislation to releive the Federal judicial system of the ever growing burden being placed on it by the multiplicity of small claim nuisance suits brought under the Truth in Lending Act. The Senator said that, during recent oversight hearings on the Truth in Lending Act, "shocking evidence was brought forward showing that litigation based on the punitive damage provisions of the Act is "seriously encumbering the work of the- Federal courts" in certain sections of the country. He said one judge stated that, "the flood of private eases in the United States District Courts is substantially over burdening the Federal judiciary system which is already being taxed beyond its capacities." In one of Federal district, Garn said, the cases filed involved small claims under the Truth in Lending Act. THE FEDERAL COURT system was not established to handle this type of litigaion; it has for more important work," Senator Garn told the Senate. This litigation serves no useful purpose unless one considers the extraction of attorney's fees from the public a useful endeavor. The litigation has done nothing .to clarify thelaw, it has not. brought, nor will it bring, consumers more meaningful disclosures and compliance with or .respect for the law is not being encouraged.

Mountain Fuel Resources has proposed a large scale gas storage project in the Clay Baain region of the Vernal District. The plan is to inject gas into the gas bearing Dakota Formation at a depth of 5,600 to .6,000 feet The gas can be stored in the formation during periods of low demand for natural gas. At zuch times as the demand increases, gas is removed, dehydrated and compressed in order to place it back into a pipeline. The project will consist essentially of six parts: A 20" injection and withdrawal pipeline approximately 15 miles in length. The line will be buried and will be strung from the compression site in Clay Basin to Northwest's pipeline in Antelope Flat. A compressor station consisting of two 2,600 horse power compressor units. A system of injection and withdrawal lateral lines. The total lateral length required is estimated to be approximately 9 miles of buried pipe. Dehydration units installed on four existing wells. A regular system installed on each lateral injection and withdrawal pipeline. Each lateral will also be equipped with a two-wametering facility to measure injection and withdrawal rates from each INTERESTING G. & of to drove that could affectively eliminate weeds as a source of highlights 722-241- 1 a winter range.

Here within the Basin, it would appear thafwe type of an organized, or correlation of efforts among various units of government, is needed to attack the problem. Cities, counties, Indian department, BLM and Forest Serice as well as other units, could well pool efforts in a BLM news Paula O. Bell I attended the grand opening of Bottle hoi low Convention Center Friday alone. There must be correlated apparent the need for some type of areawide control of noxious weeds. It has been evident that in past years some of the concerted effort on the part of landowners and county and community officials in eradicating noxious weeds that have infested a given area, is partially or sometimes wholly nullified by lack of control in adjoining areas. With the flow of water across county lines, across private and public lands, barriers impossed by political divisions tend to enhance the spred of many weeds rather than bring them under control Cattle grazing on private and public lands also are a prime carrier of weed seeds from infested areas into areas of control. Wind and motor vehicles are also contributors to the problem.
