Act by hack-count-ry allowing vehicles in Salt Creek Canyon The trail crosses and at times runs through foe creek Kimball sided with the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance which filed a federal lawsuit in 1993 over the park’s backcouniry management plan which allowed continued vehicle use in Salt Creek Crayon "Driving vehicles through the water kills aquatic species by increasing turbidity churning pool bottoms breaking down hanks and decreasing fish habitats" Kimball said "Permanent impairment of Salt Greek Canyon cannot be reconciled with foe Organic Act’s overarching goal of resource pro- tection” "We’re pretty thrilled" said SUWA attorney Heidi McIntosh "It’s n really important decision for park protection All of n sudden park preservation is the overriding mandate” In response to foe ruling Crayon-lan- ds Sgement plan in 1992 it planned to close Sah Grek to vehicles But heavy lobbying from ORV users particularly the Utah Trail Machine Association prompted foe park to continue allowing vehicles into the crayon on n permit basis that limited access to 24 vehicles per day Rainer Huck president of foe trail marhine group sold "Big flash floods rangers on Monday closed Salt
