Subject: San Rafael Meeting Notice
Utah Shared Access Alliance
August 11, 2009
Greetings!
Do you love the San Rafael in south eastern
Utah? Your access to this place could be
seriously jeopardized if you don't get involved
NOW. This precious area will be discussed in an
upcoming meeting to determine how the public may
access it in the future. You'll remember the
bill that Senator Bennett ran for Washington
County. This bill ended up not nearly as
beneficial for our community as originally
envisioned. Some have liked it others have
claimed it was a "Wilderness Bill." Call it
whatever you like. Emery County has decided to
do something similar. The hope is that by
bringing all parties to the table a compromise
can be reached that allows for access and
resolves the debate over wilderness. We are
approaching this very cautiously. USA-ALL was
intentionally left out of the Washington County
bill. That will not happen with Emery County. We
have been in engaged in this particular issue
for many months now. But our influence only goes
so far. It is participation by the public that
will make all the difference in the world. We
encourage all to read the notice below and then
take the time to participate in this meeting. At
the last meeting there was a mere handful of
people there. SURELY more folks care about this
iconic area. Spread the word and get there. Lets
show Emery County how much we care about this place.
PUBLIC NOTICE
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Travel and
Transportation subcommittee of the Emery County Public
Lands Council will hold a public meeting to gather information
from the public and industry on the current and future potential
of the San Rafael Swell and other area within Emery County.
The information will be used to develop a comprehensive land
use plan, including possible wilderness designation. The
information will also be used to rewrite Emery County's
General Plan. Public involvement in this process is encouraged.
The public meeting will be held August 12, in the Emery County
Courthouse, 75 East Main, Castle Dale, Utah at 7:00 PM.
If you have specific questions about the public
process you may call Ray Petersen, Emery
County's Public Lands Director at (435) 381-5552.
