Bill Orton, announced last week that while he is still opposed to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, he was able to win major concessions from President Clinton on the implementation and management scheme for the new National Monument. Late last night, in a call from the President, Rep. successfully negotiated major concessions to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument that President Clinton announced earlier today. "First of all, I believe this is a monumental blunder on the part of the President, but after it became clear that the President was going to designate this huge swath of land in Southern Utah as a National Monument, I was able to secure major concessions from the President to ensure local input from the residents of the area," Orton stated. The revised National Monument will include the following provisions: The area will be managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) instead of the National Park Service (NPS), which ensures that the local land managers who know the land will be able to continue managing this area. All grazing, hunting, and fishing will continue under existing law. Utah state water laws will determine all water issues in the National Monument --- there will be no federal preemption or reservation of water rights. The boundaries of the National Monument will exclude all developed areas (including communities), stale parks, and all timber or forested areas. The Andalex coal mine leases will not be terminated and the ongoing Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) will continue as scheduled. The school children of Utah will be held harmless; The President committed to transferring other federal coal leases in Utah to the Utah State School Trust or the federal government will provide direct funding to compensate for lost royalties.

This will provide us with the opportunity to study other alternatives such as my own National Conservation Area (NCA) proposal or Governor Leavitts proposal. i i w w 1 The Utah Department of Transportation on Wednesday laid out for legislators a S42.5 million program to spruce up 22 of the stales 35 highway rest stops. The price tag startled sane of the lawmakers attending the joint Transportation and Public Safely Interim Committee. But nobody differed with Rep. Daniel H. Tuttle, Valley City, who said lawmakers should get used to the idea. "We owe it to the public to give them a decent place to go to the bathroom," said Tuttle. One stop -- - a combined welcoming center-restop at Grassy Mountain on both sides of west of the Great Salt Lake -would cost $5 million. "That sounds fantastically high to me," said Rep. Robert Killpack, st Lawmakers were reminded that UDOT slopped its plans to d American renovate the in Utah Fork rest stop along County when its price lag hit $6 million. But UDOT planning engineer John L. Quick said theres a big difference. The $5 million was for a much larger combined center, while the $6 million was for a rest stop only. He said welcoming centers are larger and have need for bigger parking areas where autos and semitrailer tracks are segregated. In addition, the larger facilities require on-sihousing for maintenance personnel Of the 22 rest stops scheduled for construction or renovation, funds have been identified fa oily eight One, the Jensen Welcome Center on U.S. 40 east of Vernal, is now-closc- . te i i s i In an effort to ease the It was announced that based pn from .

Eco-Rcgi- Jailers dismissed following separate investigations Two Duchesne County jailers have been terminated from their positions for failing to follow policy and procedure of the Duchesne Sheriffs County Department. According to sheriff Ralph Stansfleld, the two men - whom county officials have declined to identify at this time - were placed on administrative leave with pay in mid-Jun- e immediately after a female inmate reported the alleged improprieties which had taken place in the jail. The sheriffs department conducted an internal investigation into the allegations. An was independent investigation conducted by the Utah Department of Corrections, and polygraph tests were administered to those involved. Based on information uncovered through the separate investigations it was determined that both jailers would be dismissed from their jobs. The filing of criminal charges against the individuals involved were not warranted, said sheriff Stansfleld. One of the jailers involved chose to appeal his dismissal. The appeal was rejected by county commissioners. The second jailor resigned from his post while under investigation. The terminations became final Sept 1. The two men had worked as jailers for a liule over a year, Stansfleld said.
