Testing scores for the district were presented showing an improvement in relation to the scores reported last year. Supt. Everett requested permission to take a census of the district and use the state computer to assemble the data. He suggested that he would like to train the census takers himself and collect some extra information that might be helpful.

The board authorized the superintendent to pursue this funding and recommend a firm to carry out the study.

Actually, the United States and the world are running out of oil and gas, which now account for s more than of our energy usage. Therefore, many scientists feel that we must switch to more abundant fuels, coal and uranium, which are utilized in the form of electricity. three-quarter- Shrub Science Orpha Parry 2 Telephone Laboratory 283-225- The following letter was. received by Mr. Gail Jensen this past week from Mr. Merwyn D. Riddle, president of the committee who were investigating developing in the industrial park in Manti. Dear Mr. Jensen: We appreciated the letter you sent regarding the industrial park. Mr. Millard and I share your views regarding the danger to Manti. I personally feel strong ties to Manti and had intended to make my home there. At this time there is no way that we can change the minds of the bond purchasers. They have told us that Manti is not acceptable. However, we have not forgotten Manti. After the we have some spring run-ofwe would like to that plans develop on the Manti property. This will be delayed, of course, until weve completed the park in Mount Pleasant. We are grateful for the cooperation and the friendliness of the people of Manti. We will do our best to work with you again soon. Sincerely, Merwyn D.

Public Meetings Will Discuss Grazing Lawsuit The Richfield District Bureau ot Land Management will hold a senes of public meetings to explain implications of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) grazing lawsuit. District Manager, Don Pendleton, stated that the lawsuit alleged that BLMs single Environmental programmatic Impact Statement (EIS) for livestock grazing was insufficient to comply with the 1969 National Environmental Policy Act. (NEPA). The NRDC held that livestock grazing, as authorized by BLM had significant environmental impacts to warrant environmental impact statements on specific geographical areas. On December 30, 1975, a children Janet, Christopher and Eric will continue awhile longer. Their Ogden. federal court ruled in favor of the Natural Resource Defense Council and other plaintiffs. The court decision stated that BLM had a mandatory duty to prepare environmental impact statements which detailed the environmental effects of livestock grazing for specific areas of national resource land. As a possible solution to this decision, the judge indicated that all grazing on national resource lands might be eliminated until the Bureau complied with NEPA. Through negotiations between the plaintiffs and the BLM, an agreement was worked out to allow grazing to continue, pending completion of 212 Environ- mental Impact Statements. These Environmental Impact Statements will be completed over a thirteen year period. Under the agreement BLM will not fence, chain, spray or seed in support of livestock grazing, nor are stockmen authorized to undertake these improvements. The agreement provides that no new Allotment Management Plans or projects would be implemented after June 30, 1975 without Environmental Impact Statements. Livestock grazing authorizations will be limited to an annual basis (no term permits are allowed). Other implications of this agreement include delayed action on requests for change in class of livestock and curtailment of other ongoing BLM programs, since BLM personnel will be diverted from other programs to meet impact statements deadlines. Pendleton encouraged persons desiring additional information to attend one of the following meetings: November 11, 1975; 2:30 P.M.; Wayne County Courthouse, Loa. the Ephraim School Friday. November 11, 1975; 7:30 P.M.; Utah Power and Light Auditorium 175 North Main, Richfield. November 12, 1975; 7:30 P.M.; Fillmore Office, BLM Fillmore.
