TheUtah Public Service Commission (PSC) today approved an $1 1 1 million interim rate reduction for Questar Gas customers. The interim rates were granted effective Oct. 1. The approval comes after Questars recent fil ingto decrease prices based costs. on lower purchased-ga- s Questar purchases about half the gas it supplies customers on the open market. The other half comes from wells. And although company-owne- d natural gas from Questars compa supplies has been consistently affordable, market-ga- s prices skyrocketed earlier thisyear, forcing the company to increase rates. Over the past several months, costs !ia ve gone however, market-ga- s down based on increased supplies, lower demand for gas and other economic factors.

The Vernal hearing is the only location within Utah to take comments on this issue. According to Wild Horse Specialist Glade Anderson, the BLM has scheduled the hearing to help explain agency procedures for gathering the animals and how motorized vehicles help the process. Good wild horse management equiprequires the ueeof modem-dq- y ment and we have found the use of helicopters is the most humane method to gather horses from the open range and remote mountain areas where they live, said Anderson. And, once we capture them, we trailuse trucks and straight-decke- d ers to help us move the animals quickly and efficiently while ensuring the overall safety and health of the horses," he said. The BLM plans to start gathering wild horses in February of 2002. Agency wranglers will remove excess wild horses from Confusion, Robbers Roost, Bonanza, North Hills, Range Creek and Winter Ridge Herd Management Areas. Utah is home to almost 3,500 wild horses. EachyeartheBurcauof Land Management (BLM) removes some of these animals from public rangelands in order to control their population. Horses have few natural enemies and their numbers increase from 15 to 20 percent each year. The use of helicopters to gather wild horses and the use ofvehicles to transport them are common tools used by professional wranglers from the BLM.

COPY this more modest pace of economic performance is expected to give way to more impressive growth in 2002 and 2003. Economic strength in the state has been impuired by U.S. economic stagnation, slowing global economic growth, and weakness in Utahs technology sector. At the same time, the sharp decline in Utah net of recent years and the completion of many of the states mqjor construction projects, huve led to less robust real estate activity and declining Utah construction employment.
