Secretary of the Interior Rogers C. B. Morton announced this week that the Departments draft environmental impact statement concerning public land coal leasing is ready for public review. A limited number of copies of the statement are available at the BLM office, Room 8103' of the Salt Lake Federal Building. Interested parties will have un-ti- lJ une 28 to submit comments to the Director of the Bureau of Land Management, Washington, D.C. 20240. Coal is one of the nations most abundant energy resources. Most of the low sulfur coal in the U.S., about 85 per cent, are located on lands in the west subject to the jurisdiction of the Interior Department. This impact statement will help us decide if we can make increasing use of the resource without unacceptable environmental damage. The public land coal resources will be required if coal is to play an important role in meeting the energy needs of the nation. Secretary Morton said that any coal leasing program will operate in conformity with the Departments overriding goals. To assure environmental protection and the reclamation of mined lands. To provide for orderly and a timely resource development as based on comprehensive land use planning. To assure a fair market value return for the resources sold. After publication of this statement, the Department plans to involve the public further in the process of deciding upon a coal leasing policy by requsting indications of interest and concern in potential leasing areas. Morton stressed that the programmatic environmental statement addresses not only the various nationwide energy source options available, but also covers the range of administrative leasing procedures that can provide coal from federal reserves. He said that the Department hopes and believes that surface protec O. canl improve on the original.

County Official Seeks Youth Help Through Tours of Parks In an attempt to stop vandalism at the various Salt Lake County parks, recreation officials arc taking elementary school children on park tours. Gary C. Swensen, recreation superintendent, said this week he wants all the elementary schools to take the tour and is inviting teachers to contact the recreation department. Swensen said transportation is provided by the recreation department in their fun bus. The trip goes to many of the parks and lasts from about 9:30 to 3 p.m. We want to show the students the different types of parks we operate in the connty. Also we hope to show the youngsters the various types of jobs and vocations available iiS the recreation field, he said. It is felt that if we can I ex- plain the vandalism problem to youngsters we can get their support in curbirg the problem. They might call us if they see someone destroying park property, he said. He said the bus stops at some of the parks and lets the youngsters play on the equipment. At others they just drive by while the park facilities are explained. The tour is available to any class from the first through the sixth grades. The tours will be held all during the summer. |
