Utah- Screwing it up

[BiggWimm]

Looks like future Book Cliffs hunters will get to watch the production of natural gas while hunting.

It'll be fine. According to SFW, you can eliminate all the habitat you want so long as you kill every coyote in the world.

There is going to be some sweet new access.

Say goodbye to the mule deer.

Just think of all the available lands that will be accessible to ATVs. This will be a 4-wheeler's paradise.

When the mulies disappear SFW can just start selling quad tags, as the way that map looks there will be nothing left to do other than riding them in that area!

Wow, thats all I have to say about that. What are the requirements for reclamation?

How do you suggest we get our energy, if this is screwing things up? Not being a smartass just want a realistic discussion on energy production in the US.

This makes me happy in so many ways! Looks like there will be plenty of jobs so I can knock Utah off my bucket list.

Chapter 4 pgs 402-406 and maps might be an interesting read to some.

4.16.1.6.6.1 Mule Deer
[FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman,Times New Roman]Approximately 174,372 acres (84%) of BLM-designated mule deer habitat in the project area would be unfavorable to mule deer due to existing and proposed roads under Alternative F.

Are the short term jobs, worth the long term loss of wildlife habitat? How long will this single project run?

I've found that once the lands are gone, that's it. We aren't making anymore.

Are How long will this single project run?

Chapter 2, page 57.

Assuming the development of 1,298 wells under Alternative F, approximately 5,846 worker years and 2,206,600 roundtrips are projected over the 45-year lifetime of the project (see Tables 2-4 and 2-5).
