There is one week left to provide comments to the BLM Vernal Field Office on a proposed project in Duchesne County. Duchesne County Special Service District 2 applied to bring a section of Wells Draw Road into conformance with American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials design standards. “We have the responsibility to assess the potential effects of the proposal on the environment, cultural resources and the many people who use these lands and resources,” said BLM Green River District Manager Lance Porter. “Public input helps BLM to understand potential issues and impacts from the proposed road reconstruction.” There is about 5.2 miles of roadway proposed for reconstruction. 2.7 miles of that is managed by the BLM and 2.5 miles are on land managed by Utah’s School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration. Comments can be mailed to the BLM Vernal Field Office or emailed to blm_ut_vernal_comments@blm.gov. The 30-day scoping period ends on February 8th.
