Utah has a tremendous amount of public land and it should thereby be necessary to have public input as to usage, such as grazing, watershed, mineral and energy extraction, etc. The State needs to be able to designate clean air protection as well. . Governor Scott Matheson has stated that this resolution will become the Utah State Wilderness Policy. The measure has also been highly endorsed by both Senators Gam and Hatch, in and Congressmen Washington, Marriott and McKay.' Said Rep. Peterson, "Utahs popluation is growing by 45,000 each year. Restricted use of these public lands would not accomodate the growth we see projected in the next twenty years.
