Grassroots Of The Desert: An Analysis Of The Roles Of The Utah Wilderness Association And The Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance In The Debate Over Wilderness Designation Of Bureau Of Land Management Lands In Southern Utah, Amy E. Brennan

All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023

The battle over federal Wilderness designation of Bureau of Land Management lands in southern Utah has entered its third decade. Throughout this lengthy debate numerous stakeholders have maintained involvement, including members of Utah's conservation community. Two of the most prominent wilderness advocacy groups in Utah are notable not only for their sustained involvement with the issue, but also for their divergent positions on how to resolve this public land dispute. This research examines those two organizations, the Utah Wilderness Association and the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, through an analysis of their respective structural, organizational, philosophical, and tactical perspectives.

Ultimately, the …

Shirley Mountain Planning Review Travel Management Environmental Assessment, United States Department Of The Interior, Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

The purpose of conducting the planning review is to analyze and weigh the benefits/consequences of changing the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) designation for the Shirley Mountain Planning Review Area from "limited to all existing roads and trails" to "limited to designated roads and trails only." Recommendations to reduce road density in the planning review area were made in the Shirley Mountain Habitat Management Plan, written in 1985 and also in the Wyoming Game and Fish (WGFD) Shirley Mountain Habitat Analysis, written in 1994. The BLM, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and the private land owners on Shirley Mountain formed a …

Environmental Assessment For Coal Planning Decisions In The Carbon Basin Area Of The Great Divide Resource Area, United States Department Of The Interior Bureau Of Land Management

Environmental Assessments (WY)

In 1982, a federal coal lease was issued for approximately 60% of the federal coal lands located in the Carbon Basin. Because this lease was still in effect at the time the current BLM land use plan (the Great Divide Resource Area Resource Management Plan-RMP-1990) covering the Carbon Basin area was prepared, it was exempt from the coal screening/planning requirements. However, development of this lease was never pursued and the lease expired in 1992. Also at the time the Great Divide RMP was prepared, there was no other interest expressed by industry in obtaining federal coal leases in the area. …

Pluralism, Science, Ethics, And The Intersecting Spheres Of Social Concerns And Environmentalism, Christopher B. Barrett, Raymond E. Grizzle

Economic Research Institute Study Papers

This paper builds on alternative perspectives offered by the environmental and sustainability traditions to advance a holistic yet practical conceptual model that explicitly integrates social and environmental concerns. Ours is a pluralistic approach founded on synthesis. Employing the economic concept of path dependence, we emphasize that there exist multiple paths society can follow in environmental ethics and policy, but that onc e one has been chosen, implicitly or explicitly, there may be little opportunity to reverse such choices. Hence, the importance of process to the pursuit of social and environmental objectives.

Department Of Energy Programmatic Spent Nuclear Fuel Management And Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Environmental Restoration And Waste Management Programs Final Environmental Impact Statement, Volume 1, Appendix D, Part B, United States Department Of Energy

All U.S. Government Documents (Utah Regional Depository)

The methods used to perform the analyses in the environmental impact statement have been refined in the time since the environmental assessment was prepared. This occurred partly because of the larger number of naval spent nuclear fuel assemblies analyzed and the wider scope of sites and methods of storage to be evaluated, and partly because additional time was available to implement the refinements. In addition to refinements in the methods for performing the calculations, some minor changes in the calculational models were made in order to establish a high degree of consistency with the analytical methods used for the other …

Per U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's guidance, each contaminant was categorized as carcinogenic or noncarcinogenic. Exposures to contaminants were then evaluated for potential health effects. The method used was dependent on whether the exposure was to the public or to a worker and whether the contaminant was classified as a carcinogen or a noncarcinogen. Health effects were reported separately and were not summed where distinctly different types of effects were reported for chemical exposures (that is, carcinogenic and noncarcinogenic).

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is evaluating its options for two separate but related sets of decisions pertinent to the mangement of the spent nuclear fuel (SNF) for which the DOE is responsible. As a result, this Environmental Impact Statemt (EIS) is divided into two parts. Volume 1 involves programmatic (DOE-wide) approaches to the management of DOE's SNF. Volume 2 discusses site-specific approaches for environmental restoration and waste management activities at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory, including SNF management. This EIS has been prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and its applicable implementing regulations (40 CFR …
