Owens said, Secretary Mortons ruling, as based on the potentially severe adverse environmental impacts that the plant poses, came as a y task result of an force which was assembled to evaluate the impact of major power plants scheduled for construction in the Colorado River Basin. Perhaps even more significant to the people of Utah is the Supreme Court ruling, which requires that the Environmental Protection Agency not permit auy degradation of air quality in any part of the state. That interpretation of the law is too broad in my opinion, and will have a crippling effect on any growth in Utah. Although Congress does not have the power to change the law, and I will be looking closely at ways that the Clean Air Act can be modified to allow necessary growth while guarding the environment. Changing the law, if it is to be done, will take some time. During the interim, the use of Utah can on the reserves coal vast the Kaiparowits Plateau.
