BLM's environmental plan for area irks local officials By Joe Bauman Deseret Morning News
Carbon County officials are vowing to go to "whatever lengths
necessary" to prevent what they view as a too-big designation to protect
the archaeological resources of Nine Mile Canyon.
An Area of Critical Environmental Concern designation for 60,539 acres in
the canyon is to be part of a resource management plan issued by the Bureau of
Land Management, county officials say. The BLM hasn't released the plan's
final version, adds a county commissioner, but local officials have been shown
proposed contents.
Meanwhile, the chairman of the Nine Mile Canyon Coalition supports ACEC
designation for the canyon, which is world famous for its archaeological
resources. The group seeks to protect the abundant examples of rock art and
other evidence of the past.
